15: Chapter 15: Wow, quite a powerful family background!

"Croak croak croak... Give up, Lord Feng. Humans are the most powerful demons in this world!"

"Hiss hiss hiss... Shut up, you smelly frog!"

King Cobra begged Yang Tian for mercy again, and only then did Yang Tian loosen the snake tongs.

"Hiss hiss hiss... Speak, what do you want me to do?"

Yang Tian asked curiously, "On the night of April 15th at 8:00 PM, did you see a woman being brought here by a man?"

"Hiss hiss hiss... Yes!"

"Tell me more!"

"Hiss hiss hiss... You humans really know how to play. You even cruelly murder your own kind. That pervert's voice was like a ghost's, and the woman beneath him was like the prey in my mouth, letting out ear-piercing pleas for mercy... but it was all in vain... She died during the man's pillaging... Your human way of mating is truly exhausting to watch!"

"Be serious! Do you remember what that pervert looked like?"

"Hiss hiss hiss... Of course, Lord Feng remembers."

Yang Tian: "Which way did he go?"

King Cobra turned its head toward the riverbank.

"That way!"

Yang Tian: "Let's go. Lead the way and show me."

"Croak croak... Quickly release this Immortal."

Yang Tian untied Frog Immortal's rope and tossed it aside.

However, in the next second.

"Gulp!"

King Cobra flicked its tongue.

"Hiss hiss hiss... Tastes good..."

Yang Tian: "..."

Arriving at the riverbank.

King Cobra looked toward the river.

"He threw the body into the river and left."

"Where did he go?"

"Hiss hiss hiss... I don't know... but I think something might know..."

It suddenly turned and climbed up a nearby tree.

When it came back down, it had a sparrow in its mouth.

"Hiss hiss hiss... Speak, little poor thing... Tell the human... On the night of April 15th, what did you see?"

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

The sparrow was trembling.

"He went into the woods and ran toward the mountain!"

"Where?"

The sparrow turned its head and pointed with its beak.

"Chirp chirp chirp... Right over there."

Yang Tian looked back.

It was a forest in the opposite direction of the Yu Cheng River.

As far as the eye could see, it was endless.

The deeper one went, the denser the forest vegetation became...

"Is he hiding in the mountains??"

Yang Tian muttered to himself, then shouted to King Cobra, "Let it go!"

"Hiss hiss hiss... Okay, letting go, letting go..."

King Cobra loosened its mouth. Just as the sparrow flapped its wings to take off, in the next second, King Cobra shot up like a sharp arrow, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Gulp... Fuzzy... Not as delicious as Frog Immortal!"

Yang Tian stared at it.

King Cobra didn't care and turned its head away.

"Hiss hiss hiss... I let it go. It's its own fault for being useless!"

"..."

Yang Tian walked up the mountain.

Every few dozen meters, he had King Cobra catch a few small animals to ask for directions.

King Cobra felt it was too slow!

So it climbed a tree and made a strange sound.

After a while.

A large swarm of snakes poured in from all directions on the mountain.

There were Habus.

There were Bamboo Pit Vipers.

There were also Many-banded Kraits, Rattlesnakes, and so on.

Roughly hundreds or thousands of them.

This momentum really startled Yang Tian!

King Cobra gave Yang Tian a disdainful look, then straightened up before the snake swarm, looking majestic.

In the next second.

The snakes shouted.

"Greetings, Lord Feng!"

Yang Tian was stunned.

It turned out he had caught the leader of the snake swarm on the mountain.

King Cobra twisted its body, exuding an overbearing aura.

"Hiss hiss hiss... On the night of April 15th, where did a human wearing black clothes traveling through the woods go? Those who know, lead the way; those who don't, disperse!"

After a while, ninety percent of the snake swarm dispersed.

Looking at the remaining snakes.

King Cobra shouted.

"Lead the way!"

Looking at the grand procession before him, Yang Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration!

—

Time passed minute by minute.

11:00 PM.

Only one hour remained until the deadline given by the bureau to solve the case.

The atmosphere in the Criminal Investigation Detachment office became increasingly oppressive.

Although Wang Hao had arrived.

They still hadn't made any substantial progress.

Liu Dachui, with his feet propped up on the desk, tossed the case file onto the table.

"Sigh!"

After a heavy sigh, he walked out of the office in great distress.

He glanced at everyone.

Each one was listless, their eyes vacant.

"Where's Wang Hao!" he suddenly shouted.

One of the Criminal Police Officers replied.

"He left work early several hours ago."

Liu Dachui cursed.

"Damn it! Even I haven't left work, and he just patted his butt and left!"

The Deputy Captain, sitting in a corner smoking a cigarette, said.

"The point is, this newcomer has been here for half a day and hasn't been of any use!"

Liu Da rubbed his face with his hands.

"Probably here to pad his resume."

He glanced at everyone again.

"Hasn't Yang Tian come back yet?"

"No... he wouldn't have quit too, would he?"

Liu Dachui: "Is the police car he drove out back yet?"

"Not yet."

Liu Dachui immediately shouted.

"Look at Yang Tian the God, how dedicated he is! It's so late and he's still out working, unlike some people who do nothing and then slip away in a flash!"

Once the words were spoken, those who understood, understood.

Just as everyone was painfully waiting from 11:00 PM to midnight.

Wang Hao suddenly appeared in the Criminal Investigation Detachment again.

"I have some good news to announce to everyone!"

Everyone immediately perked up and looked at Wang Hao.

"Are there clues to the case?"

"Is someone caught?"

"Is the case solved?"

Wang Hao shook his head and smiled: "None of the above!"

"Then what kind of good news is that?"

"Yeah... I've been dreaming about solving the case!"

Wang Hao crossed his arms, looking smug.

"Although there are no clues yet, I've secured another three days from Mayor Ye."

The Deputy Captain immediately said excitedly: "Does that mean we have three more days to solve the case?"

Wang Hao nodded.

"So everyone, go back and rest tonight. Having a good physical state is the key to solving a case."

"Tomorrow, I will lead everyone to victory!"

Everyone looked at Liu Dachui.

Liu Dachui nodded.

"Listen to Captain Wang."

Everyone dispersed like birds.

The Deputy Captain and Liu Dachui were the last to leave.

Closing the door of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, the Deputy Captain asked: "This Wang Hao's family background is quite deep, isn't it? Even Mayor Ye gave him face."

Liu Dachui: "At least a deputy department level!"

"No wonder."

"Right, call Yang Tian and tell him there are three more days, and to get some rest!"

"Okay."

A moment later.

A police car that had just driven to the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Detachment suddenly turned around and left.

—

The next day.

Wang Hao arrived at the Criminal Investigation Detachment and started working hard.

In fact, his being parachuted from the ministry to the local Municipal Bureau was for a purpose.

First, it was to pad his resume and return with honors.

Second, it was to pursue a girl and return with a status.

This girl was a junior from his time at the Public Security University, assigned to Yu City after graduation.

Initially, he didn't like her.

He just happened to hear from his father that this girl's father was a high-ranking official.

Thus, he had an idea.
