13: Do you know that there is a ghost in your house?
“Bang!”
Wang Yaowen’s defenses shattered as he angrily slammed the table.
“Lu, what is the meaning of this! Li Mo is unconscious, are you saying you can wake him up?”
Damn it, Li Mo shed blood for the Law Enforcement Team.
This kid just took office and is listing his subordinate as a key suspect? This is clearly meant to disgust him!
Lu Ming completely ignored the angry shouts behind him, leisurely looking through the case file.
As a top student in the criminal investigation department in his previous life, he had seen too many cases.
Often, the more reasonable something seemed, the more problematic it was.
Team Leader Zhou clearly knew Li Mo was unconscious, yet he still went to visit him? Was he visiting thin air?
No one could stand cold treatment, and Wang Yaowen was no exception.
After being ignored, he completely lost his temper: “Lu, if you have a problem with me, just come at me directly! Targeting a…”
“Enough.” Zhao Li’s voice was as cold as ice. She glanced at Wang Yaowen, “Don’t forget, Li Mo is also one of the suspects!”
Wang Yaowen wanted to argue, but when his gaze met Zhao Li’s icy eyes, he swallowed the rest of his words, his face flushing crimson.
Seeing Zhao Li’s gaze fall on him, Lu Ming finally put down the file and said meaningfully, “You’ve misunderstood. Li Mo’s seniority is even greater than mine. As a newly appointed Squad Leader, it’s only right for me to visit him.”
“Hmph! You’d better be!” Wang Yaowen’s eye twitched, but due to Zhao Li’s authority, he dared not act out.
Zhao Li raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit annoyed, “Is this brat subtly implying that I’m relying on my age and experience?”
…The white SUV slowly drove out of the Law Enforcement Team’s compound.
Zhao Li looked through the rearview mirror, her gaze sweeping over Lu Ming in the passenger seat, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
She had never thought Li Mo would be problematic.
How could a comatose person who had been in a vegetative state for three years commit a crime?
Besides, even if Li Mo were in peak condition, how could a mere Blood Qi Realm practitioner make a Kaiyuan Realm Team Leader Zhou disappear without a sound?
“Heh, arrogant brat, we’ll see how you deal with Inspector Zhang Tao and his group when they find out.”
It should be known that the Law Enforcement Team maintained Li Mo’s treatment regardless of cost precisely to set an example.
To tell those below, go ahead and charge forward; the Law Enforcement Team will never abandon anyone.
When Li Mo was initially listed as a suspect, he was lambasted by those Inspectors.
If they knew Lu Ming actually went to investigate Li Mo, then there would be a good show to watch.
But Lu Ming seemed not to notice her gaze, his mind constantly replaying Li Mo’s relevant case file.
“Three years ago, an eighth-level Blood Qi Soul-Devouring Beast infiltrated the Outer City. The Fourth Squad was ordered to encircle and suppress it. Li Mo was separated from his team and severely injured.”
“Team Leader Zhou was the first to arrive at the scene. At that time, Li Mo was already unconscious. There were traces of a struggle and scattered bits of flesh, but no corpse of the Soul-Devouring Beast…”
“However, Team Leader Zhou’s report stated that he had killed the Soul-Devouring Beast himself. He said that when he saw Li Mo’s tragic state, he was blinded by anger and lost control, taking his frustration out on the Soul-Devouring Beast…”
Everything seemed reasonable, but Lu Ming always felt something was off.
He had just checked, and Soul-Devouring Beasts, these low-level alien races, were one of the raw materials for extracting Blood Qi elixirs.
A complete eighth-level Blood Qi Soul-Devouring Beast corpse could sell for at least two hundred thousand on the black market.
Team Leader Zhou, who had just fallen out with his woman over money, then turned a blind eye to a gold mine?
Even he, a person bombarded with public service announcements since childhood, couldn’t do that, let alone an unfeeling Law Enforcer like Team Leader Zhou.
Combined with the recent disappearances, Lu Ming’s mind vaguely formed a bold and absurd hypothesis.
Could it be that the Soul-Devouring Beast from back then didn’t die and was hidden by Team Leader Zhou?
If that were the case, the matter of Li Mo’s injury would need further scrutiny.
However, these were all just his assumptions… The four arrived at the North City Hospital, each with a different expression.
Intensive Care Unit.
Li Mo’s body was covered in various tubes.
His once youthful and tender face was withered and yellow, and the blood vessels on his limbs were dark purple, which indeed matched the characteristics of yin energy entering the body.
Ordinary superhumans were not as abnormal as Lu Ming, capable of completely ignoring the invasion of yin energy.
With injuries of Li Mo’s extent, he was nine times out of ten going to be crippled.
Lu Ming tentatively placed his hand on Li Mo’s wrist. A cold aura instantly surged into his meridians along his arm, but it was absorbed by the Nine Yang Divine Body in the blink of an eye.
Lu Ming’s eyes immediately lit up. It really worked!
If Li Mo could wake up, everything would be easier!
However, after a while, the yin energy in Li Mo’s body seemed to be drawn in, refusing to come out!
Lu Ming suddenly stared at his pale face, his eyes becoming very dangerous.
Damn it, so it really was you, kid, who had a problem!
Then, Lu Ming quietly withdrew his hand, shaking his head and sighing, “Li Mo is a good comrade, what a pity. So young, we cannot let a hero shed blood and tears!”
“Tell the doctor to increase the dosage!”
These few actions made Wang Yaowen feel embarrassed, and his heart warmed.
He came in, took his pulse, and showed concern, looking as friendly as could be, already embodying the image of a considerate superior.
But the next second, Lu Ming suddenly drew the straight saber from his waist and fiercely stabbed it towards Li Mo’s crotch.
Holy, holy, holy crap!
Wang Yaowen and Lin Wen instinctively covered their crotches, staring at the other with horrified expressions.
“Lu Ming, are you crazy! You… Li Mo!”
Wang Yaowen’s voice rose sharply before abruptly cutting off.
He stared intently at Li Mo, who had flashed to the head of the bed, his broad forehead full of questions.
What happened?
Is this a miracle doctor?
Lu Ming’s blade tip rested on Li Mo’s pale face, and he smiled with a grim expression: “Kid, you’re raising a ghost at home, do you know that!”
And Li Mo, realizing he had been exposed, stared intently at Lu Ming, his eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness, “How did you find out!”
Lu Ming shrugged, revealing a harmless smile: “I said my hand slipped just now, do you believe me?”
“I believe your mother!” Li Mo’s chest heaved, wishing he could smash Lu Ming’s face with a punch.
Don’t be fooled by this kid always smiling; he’s very devious.
That stab just now was clearly aimed at his ‘brother.’ Damn it, if he hadn’t dodged, he would have been crippled!
After pretending for so long, to be exposed by such a naive young man, Li Mo wished he could skin him alive and pull out his tendons!
The sudden turn of events first stunned Zhao Li, then she stared intently at Lu Ming’s back, her icy face filled with both shock and shame.
Li Mo actually had a problem!
How did he know!
She immediately took out her spear from her storage pouch and adopted a fighting stance: “Li Mo, where is Team Leader Zhou!”
Li Mo clenched his fists abruptly, his eyes revealing endless hatred. He roared at Zhao Li, “Don’t mention that hypocrite to me!”
“Three years! I lay here for three whole years! I finally managed to live! Why won’t any of you let me live!”
His voice was incredibly cold, every word carrying endless hatred.
“You all deserve to die!”
