Chapter 87 Inquiry

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Chu Nan's office.

An urgent intelligence report was delivered to her desk.

"What? The Nen Master killed someone? How is that possible? Isn't the Nen Master at Black Shield? She's under 24-hour surveillance, how could she possibly go to another place to kill someone?"

Chu Nan looked at the two cases in Yongcheng and Gangcheng and shook his head.

"Three hours, from Yongcheng, a thousand miles away, to Gangcheng, two thousand miles away, even by plane, it can't be that fast."

This is clearly unreasonable.

Chu Nan then realized what was happening.

"So it was just going through the motions."

Chu Nan picked up the public phone on the table and called Xia Jue. His attitude was serious, and he said sternly, "Xia Jue, how did you keep an eye on Nian Shi? She had already surrendered, so how come she appeared in Yongcheng five hours ago and wiped out a merchant guild in Yongcheng, and then arrived in Gangcheng two hours ago and killed a Xuan Master? You must give me an explanation for this."

As soon as Xia Jue answered the phone, she was met with a barrage of accusations from her superior. She was stunned and dared not admit it. She immediately cried out in the phone, "Boss, I'm innocent! Nian Shi Youyou has been staying at Black Shield the whole time and hasn't left for a moment. Although we didn't install surveillance cameras in her room, we monitored her computer all the time and would knock on her door to deliver things to her from time to time."

As she spoke, Xia Jue quickly pulled up the videos from five hours ago and two hours ago when she delivered the items. While confirming them, she said loudly, "Boss, if you don't believe me, I have videos and witnesses here. You can check them at any time."

Chu Nan's attitude remained serious, even more so than before.

"What are you shouting for? If you have evidence, submit it. I will defend you. All you do now is shout, shout, shout."

Xia Jue realized what was happening and immediately grinned, saying loudly, "Yes, sir, I'll submit the evidence right away."

The evidence arrived in less than five minutes.

Chu Nan carefully examined the evidence, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "The chain of evidence is complete; it was indeed not Youyou's doing."

Chu Nan stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling traffic outside.

"If it wasn't Youyou, then someone must have framed her."

Who is it? Who has the motive and the capability?

The answer is obvious.

"The mysterious force that extinguished the Netherfire."

Chu Nan's eyes slowly narrowed.

"As expected, the Netherfire is not the end; it may even be just the beginning."

Chu Nan sighed.

"These are turbulent times."

After Chu Nan figured it out, he sat back down and submitted the evidence to headquarters, along with a letter protesting his innocence, using even more exaggerated language than Xia Jue.

Half an hour later, the headquarters sent an official document.

First, it was confirmed that Youyou had neither the motive nor the time to commit these two major crimes, thus establishing that Youyou was innocent and innocent. Then, the detailed case files were sent over, requesting assistance in the investigation.

"As expected, that's the purpose!"

Chu Nan smiled and shook his head, then opened the file.

"Were the ones who died in Yongcheng Xuanxiu and peripheral members of the Qingfu lineage?"

Upon seeing the Qingfu lineage, Chu Nan frowned.

"It was these cancerous growths; good riddance."

Chu Nan began to look at the case files of Hong Kong.

"Huh, there's even video footage of the scene?"

Chu Nan clicked on it and instantly realized that this person was not Youyou.

Chu Nan had naturally met Youyou before. Although they hadn't met face-to-face, Chu Nan still knew Youyou very well.

This person is completely different from Youyou in terms of height, aura, behavior, and so on.

"It seems that this is the mysterious force that extinguished the Netherfire."

After reading half of it, Chu Nan became even more certain that it wasn't Youyou.

"It's similar to telekinesis, but Youyou doesn't know any mystical arts at all."

After reading it, Chu Nan became even more certain.

"Paper Master, even Elder Netherfire has confirmed that this person comes from the mysterious force that extinguished Netherfire, and even revealed how Netherfire was extinguished."

The Crimson Lotus Space is a legendary consciousness space unique to the top forces in the dark world.

Chu Nan narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before saying, "To directly bypass the Netherfire and completely control the Crimson Lotus Space, although I don't understand the specific steps involved, the difficulty is absolutely off the charts."

This mysterious force accomplished this so easily, either because the Crimson Lotus Space already had an owner and had always been under the control of this mysterious force.

Either this mysterious force is so powerful it's unbelievable, or it's as easy for them to break into an existence like the Crimson Lotus Space, like a Grandmaster of Internal Energy breaking down a door in the real world.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Chu Nan's eyes.

"In any respect, this mysterious force is not something our small Jiangcheng can handle."

The former illustrates the long history and far-reaching plans of the mysterious force, while the latter demonstrates its immense power and ability to deliver a devastating blow.

"However, one thing is certain: this mysterious force has intricate connections with our Jiangcheng."

Chu Nan gently rubbed his temples.

She hates things that are out of her control the most.

"Send it to Xia Jue and let her take responsibility."

Since Xia Jue has been in charge of the Netherfire matter, let him continue to be in charge.

"Sigh, I hope this storm didn't start in our Jiangcheng."

……

It took Xia Xue two hours to finally finish looking through the inheritance she had seized from the paper craftsman.

The Secret of Paper Dolls

This is a book specifically about making paper figures and using paper figures as a medium to perform a series of mystical arts, from basic to advanced.

There were some cryptic words and phrases inside, which Xia Xue found a bit difficult to understand. Fortunately, because of the inheritance of the "Mysterious Method of Imperial Paper," everything was in the same system. Although there were some changes, she was able to understand the meaning by combining the context and experimenting.

"In order to reduce the spiritual energy consumed in opening the spirit of paper figures, this lineage of paper craftsmen actually uses the method of binding the soul."

Xia Xue shook her head.

"This practice is against the will of Heaven, no wonder the paper maker's sins are so grave."

With a wave of her right hand, Xia Xue scattered the dozen or so paper figures that she had been learning and deciphering over the past two hours, and they jumped around as if they were real people.

"Tsk tsk, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Offering is far more spiritual than the Soul-Binding Method."

The key is that there are no side effects.

"Although the method of binding souls can reduce the consumption of spiritual energy, one must endure the pain of the bound soul, which has a great impact on one's state of mind. Once this method is used, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through again."

Considering that most of them are now Xuan Masters, it's not hard to understand why the Paper Master is so unscrupulous.

Xia Xue waved her right hand, and the origami cranes that had been folded on the table fell into her palm.

"The secret of paper dolls gave me a glimmer of inspiration. Perhaps the art of kites can be used not only for sending messages, but also for reconnaissance."

Xia Xue directly used the Heaven and Earth Sacrifice on the paper crane.

Xia Xue smiled as she looked at the origami cranes that seemed to come alive, fly freely, and even have empathy.

"It really works! This is much more convenient than using paper figures for reconnaissance."
