He handed Luo Yingbai the materials he had collected about Lou Miao: “I have a similar thought. Lou Miao and Hu Weichao likely knew each other. Lou Miao threatened Zhu Linya and facilitated Xia Zheng obtaining that watch, all as an act of revenge.
“
Luo Yingbai asked, “Are you saying that Xia Zheng probably knew the watch belonged to Zhu Linya and was after the watch? Do you think… he knew she had killed someone?”
Xia Xianning said meaningfully, “If he didn’t know, why would he want that watch?”
They exchanged a glance, and Luo Yingbai whispered, “What kind of relationship do Zhu Linya and Xia Zheng have, for him to want to find her weakness in this way…”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the office door. Xia Xianning said “Come in,” and a police officer named Chen Qin from the Special Investigation Unit entered. Xia Xianning asked, “What is it?”
Chen Qin said, “A document.”
He held out a piece of paper to Xia Xianning.
At that moment, Luo Yingbai suddenly jumped up from his seat and shouted, “Something’s not right!”
Almost simultaneously, Xia Xianning kicked Chen Qin, catching him off guard and hitting his chin. Chen Qin fell back but immediately bounced up and threw a punch at Xia Xianning.
Xia Xianning grabbed his wrist and twisted it back. Chen Qin took the opportunity to kick towards his abdomen, but Xia Xianning performed a backflip, his right leg coming down and striking Chen Qin’s neck.
Luo Yingbai noticed his bloodshot eyes and vacant expression, seemingly unresponsive to the blows.
Sensing something was wrong, he quickly opened the drawer and pulled out a gun.
While Xia Xianning was restraining Chen Qin, Luo Yingbai aimed and fired. A white light burst from the gun, and Chen Qin was shot in the forehead, black smoke erupting from his body as he collapsed.
This was a special exorcism gun that would have no effect on ordinary people. Luo Yingbai said, “He was possessed by demonic energy!”
Simultaneously, alarms blared throughout the Special Investigation Unit, and someone outside shouted, “Peng Xuan has escaped! Another monster bird is loose!”
Hearing this, Xia Xianning rushed out of the office to the corridor window.
