Chapter 266
October .
Pouring rain seemed to envelop the entire White Bell City in a white fog .
A few white, red-eyed pigeons had built nests underneath roof ledges and were cooing rhythmically .
Blood Infant Huang Fu stood in front of a window with his hands behind his back . He silently looked at the empty North Road . [1]
He had been standing there for a long time . Ever since the person behind him passed through the door, he hadn't moved .
"I thought you knew," the man behind him said in a low voice laced with anxiety .
It was Bai Xiu from the Wan Shun Palace, who was also extremely talented like him .
"Knew what? So what if I did? If the sect master decided to do so, he must have his reasons," Huang Fu replied .
"But with such a tight blockade, if anything happened, neither side would be able to reach the other… you should know the consequences," Bai Xiu said seriously .
Huang Fu didn't say anything . He knew that all the preparations the sect master made didn't seem like he was hosting a banquet, but rather, more like he was about to start a war…
Neither of them said anything for a while . After a few moments, a sect disciple hurried over .
After the disciple came inside, he came over and whispered into Bai Xiu's ear .
"Are you interested in going? They caught the suspect for the recent serial murders in the city . " Bai Xiu suggested .
By serial murders, he meant the killing of multiple families in White Bell City . It was extremely horrific .
The Court's police found it fishy, so they gave this case to the Hundred Lineages . So right now, the Wan Shun Palace was overseeing the case .
After a few unsuccessful chases, not only did they not manage to catch the suspect, a few disciples from the Wan Shun Palace were even injured or killed . Stronger groups were sent, but to no avail . So finally, Bai Xiu, who was in charge of such things, was alerted and went to catch the suspect himself .
"Serial murder cases… I heard that the Shangyang Family was also looking into it . Let's go . " Huang Fu turned around .
"I still feel like something is off . Let's go see what the suspect looks like . " Bai Xiu had spent a lot of time and effort on this case .
The two walked out of the room and onto the carriage prepared for them by servants outside . As they went along the road in the middle of the rain, the dense raindrops hit their carriage with a soft pitter-patter, giving off a hollow echoing sound .
After turning this way then that way and cutting through a shopping area, the carriage stopped in front of a large house with white lanterns hanging by the door .
There were also white lotus flowers, which symbolized funeral on the red door frame . Long paper strips were also hung on both sides of the door, beaten and blown around by the fierce rain .
In the rain, a few servants were waiting alongside their masters, standing at the door with umbrellas, watching the carriage drive closer .
The two got off of the carriage and were immediately hustled into the mansion by these people . There were already a lot of people standing in the garden: the police head from the Court, the head constable of the prison, and the relatives of this family who had positions in the government . They were all standing together, waiting .
Bai Xiu and Huang Fu ignored everyone and walked into the main hall . Instantly, they saw a skinny man tied up in the corner and three different-sized corpses lying on the ground .
The constable followed them in and explained in a low voice, "That man is called Huang Bianhe . This morning, someone saw him acting suspiciously . He was walking along the river with a big bag of foul-smelling clothes . They caught him and questioned him, but got nothing from it . In the end, someone called the police, and that's when they found that this family of three had been killed a long time ago…"
"He's the suspect?" Bai Xiu asked .
"Yes . A lot of witnesses saw him walking in and out of this house," the constable replied respectfully . "We sent two groups of people but both failed . Only with the help of the disciples from the Wan Shun Palace did we finally catch him . "
Bai Xiu frowned and examined Huang Bianhe, who was sitting on the floor blankly .
This person was very skinny and short, his face was pale and eyes yellow, as if he had some sort of sickness . Otherwise, the most eye-catching thing about him was his gaze .
His gaze was blank, dead, without any sort of life in it . Even his pupils were dilated and completely unfocused .
Bai Xiu looked towards Huang Fu . Huang Fu shook his head .
"Nothing wrong?" Bai Xiu knew his good friend's ability . He could check the internal condition of a person by taking control of their flesh and blood . A secret art like this was really powerful, even in the Noble families . A lot of disciples from the Noble families weren't even as good as him .
In front of Huang Fu, unless the opponent's strength was way above his, no one could hide anything in front of him .
"He's only a normal person," Huang Fu said quietly, "and he's in a really bad condition . Even a slightly stronger than average child could knock him down with a single punch . "
"Then what is all this?" Bai Xiu asked, confused .
He walked closer .
"Be careful, this person is crazy!" The constable hurriedly tried to stop him .
But Huang Bianhe had already moved .
He was originally lying on the ground, but right now it was as if someone pushed a button . His legs suddenly straightened, some unnamed transparent liquid started flowing out of his ears, mouth, and nose, and he started roaring and growling like a wild animal . He attempted to leap towards Bai Xiu .
"Roar!!"
Huang Bianhe sounded like a real animal, crazy and without reason .
Bai Xiu extended a finger lazily and poked him hard in between his brows . He immediately got knocked out .
"This is why he attacked other people?" Bai Xiu turned to look at the constable .
"That's true . Before, this person had already injured a few officials . He might seem weak now, but he had a lot of strength a while ago," the constable added .
