The Worst Incident and the Third Case
In that incident, the "Ace" organization, which had just emerged in the eyes of various countries, was led by the "10" of the playing cards. It assembled fourteen superpower users above the "Heavenly Path" and launched a surprise attack on the major key institutions in Shanglu City. They blew up half of the government building, and the confidential archive room was among the damaged areas.
This is the reason why the official of Shanglu City later moved the confidential parts related to the supernatural in the confidential archive room to the underground of the stronghold of their investigation team.
In that incident, with the full support of the previous branch and the superpower users from nearby big cities, at the cost of sacrificing three superpower users above the "Heavenly Path" and one superpower user below the "Heavenly Path", they successfully killed half of the more than ten "Ace" superpower users above the "Heavenly Path" on the spot. They captured a total of three "Ace" members, including the old "10" in the "Soaring" realm. Only four of them managed to escape from Shanglu by using their respective means, but two of them were killed during the subsequent pursuit.
That is to say, in that operation of the "Ace" that year, only two of them survived. Even the "10" who led the team was captured alive. However, it was just a large-scale terrorist attack. They only killed four official superpower users, and only two ordinary people died due to the falling stones from the high altitude when they blew up the building. It can be said that they suffered a great loss while causing little damage to the enemy.
And this was just a microcosm of the "Ace" that had just "debuted" that year.
"Madmen", "social retaliators", "reckless destroyers", "pure clown organization". These were the initial impressions of them from countries around the world. It was not until the past two years that this impression was broken, and they were regarded as "a highly intelligent criminal organization with meticulous planning", "the biggest destroyer of world peace", "everywhere but impossible to detect", "even worse than the United States", etc.
As for the three captured "Ace" members, Lin Yuexiang couldn't directly interrogate them due to his insufficient rank at that time. He could only watch from the side. But in doing so, he witnessed the most scene in his life.
The three people, who were in different interrogation rooms and were arrogantly shouting one second, suddenly bled from all their orifices and died with their bodies festering. It was so sudden that everyone present was caught off guard.
The autopsy afterwards showed that the three of them were not directly affected by superpowers. Instead, their deaths were caused by the simultaneous outbreak of various super viruses in their bodies and incurable terminal illnesses. The key point was that in order to ensure the safety of the captives, the official had conducted a full physical examination on them, and the examination results showed that they were in perfect health with no problems at all.
This means that dozens of viruses and terminal illnesses suddenly appeared in their three bodies, and undoubtedly, only a very powerful superpower user could do this.
It was precisely because of the strange deaths of the three captives that this incident became the most severe supernatural case in the history of Shanglu City. It was not only because of the arrogance and destruction of the fourteen "Ace" superpower users before, but also because of the silent mockery conveyed by the mysterious assassin who quietly killed the three captives under the gaze of dozens of eyes.
Lin Yuexiang has always kept this assassination method in his heart, and he has always wanted to know who that assassin was that year. But the other party seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no trace of him in the following eight years until a month ago...
The same way of death as Liu Peng reminded Lin Yuexiang of that assassin eight years ago. So he immediately reported the matter to the headquarters and put forward his own conjecture.
After a period of discussion, the headquarters also recognized Lin Yuexiang's conjecture and included it in the "Clues to the identities of the 'Thirteen Supreme Seats' of the 'Ace' organization and overall speculations".
Lin Yuexiang's conjecture, specifically, was that the current assassin was the same as the one eight years ago, and his realm was definitely not low. There was a high probability that he was a member of the "Ace" organization, and there was a good chance that he was among the top four seats of the "Thirteen Supreme Seats".
However, although it was just a conjecture, it was still wishful thinking to catch that assassin just based on this. Lin Yuexiang also knew this.
In his opinion, with the assassin's assassination ability alone, as long as he didn't jump out on his own initiative, it wouldn't be a problem for him to hide for a lifetime. ......
At the end of August, the summer heat was still lingering.
Looking up at the sky, the yellow moon was gradually getting rounder, and the moonlight was brighter than on previous nights.
This was a sign that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
Unfortunately, the bright night wouldn't last long. In the sky, several dark clouds were gathering together.
"It's going to rain again... Just right!" Lei Ting looked up at the moon, and instead of being worried, he was delighted.
Rainy days were more conducive to the exertion of his ability!
This was another superpower-related criminal case that their "Superpower Investigation Team" was in charge of after the "Q" incident in the middle of August. It was also the third supernatural case that Lei Ting participated in after joining the investigation team.
The beginning of this case was still a theft case. The victim was a gold store. Similarly, the surveillance cameras were inexplicably damaged, and the lock, which was in good condition, was opened without obvious damage.
The same modus operandi made the policemen initially in charge of the case suspect that Li Yang had escaped from prison. Of course, this was impossible. Li Yang was still safely in the special prison under the headquarters of the "Special Incident Management and Trial Department", and he had been elected as the monthly model prisoner for two consecutive months.
However, it wasn't because of his sincere confession. It was just that there were only dozens of prisoners in the whole prison, and they were all sent from all over the country. Most of these superpower prisoners still had an air of arrogance even after being arrested, and few of them were willing to cooperate with the reform. Li Yang was elected as the model prisoner for two consecutive months simply because he was the best among the worst.
Back to the main topic. After a simple investigation of the gold store theft case, the police found that although the modus operandi was the same, the perpetrator was obviously not as skilled as Li Yang. In the first crime, although the surveillance camera outside the gold store was damaged, the surveillance cameras of the nearby stores and those on the street when the perpetrator left were not damaged, and the perpetrator didn't deliberately avoid them. As a result, the whole process of the crime was recorded by the surveillance camera of the neighboring store.
The content of the video was simple. When the perpetrator initially damaged the surveillance camera, he stood in the blind spot of the camera's shooting and then pointed his palm at it, and it was done.
After that, when facing the rolling shutter door of the gold store, he stuck his palm on it, paused for a moment, and then pulled it up, easily opening the door.
With this video evidence, it was sufficient to prove that the thief of the gold store was a superpower user. So the police decisively transferred the case to the "Superpower Investigation Team".
Of course, the police also provided the investigation team with the community where the perpetrator currently lived, which was found through the surveillance, and the specific appearance and identity of the perpetrator obtained by comparing the AI of the tenants and owners of the community through the surveillance footage of the past few days.
It could be said that everything was ready, and it was just waiting for the investigation team to arrest the perpetrator!
