Appointment Time Canceled?!
Shi Yiling pouted upon hearing this, but of course, she understood the gravity of the situation. She said with some surprise, "That shouldn't be. Even though I went easy on that person, he shouldn't be able to get far if he's trying to escape. He should have been caught quickly."
"They said they didn't see anything around. That spot without streetlights is also a surveillance blind spot. They checked the nearby surveillance just now and didn't see any sign of the three of them," Ming Yi said.
He was also curious. In just a few minutes, they were gone?
Either they were actually fine and had time to observe the surveillance, or someone had helped them.
It was clearly the latter.
"This is like, letting the tiger return to the mountain?" Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes. He wished he had been a bit harsher earlier, at least leaving a silver needle on these guys before they left. Now it was a bit troublesome.
"Let's see who's pulling the strings behind the scenes," Ming Yi also said. With that, the three of them walked back.
By the time they reached the area without streetlights, the police officers hadn't left yet.
The leading officer was Officer Zhou, whom Ming Yi was familiar with, having collaborated with him several times before. Additionally, Old Hu had also arrived.
"Sir!" Old Hu greeted Ming Yi first.
"Old Hu, didn't find anything?" Ming Yi cut straight to the chase. The three people who had been lying there were gone. There was still blood on the ground, which was from Gang Zi falling when Ning Fengzhi acted.
However, besides that initial spot of blood on the ground, there were no other bloodstains around.
"Found nothing. This… feels a bit familiar," Old Hu said, his brow furrowed after his investigation. The feeling reminded him of something unpleasant.
The Blissful Cult.
It was the same when they investigated the Blissful Cult before; no surveillance could find anything, and there were no witnesses.
"It shouldn't be," Ming Yi shook his head. "The Blissful Cult was wiped out. Even if there were any members left scattered, they shouldn't be acting rashly at this time."
He understood what Old Hu was thinking. The possibility of it being the Blissful Cult was low, but… to disappear from surveillance and spirit away three burly men in a matter of minutes required considerable skill.
Ning Fengzhi sniffed the air and then frowned deeply.
"What's wrong, Uncle Seven?"
Noticing Uncle Seven's action, Ming Yi also sniffed. He immediately furrowed his brow, their actions mirroring each other.
Old Hu asked Officer Zhou to have his men continue the investigation and then asked, "Did you discover something?"
"A familiar herbal scent," Ning Fengzhi looked around. "This scent isn't from a specific designated medicinal herb. It's more like being in a place with many herbs for a long time, carrying a mixed scent of various medicinal plants."
"Could be a colleague."
Ming Yi suddenly said.
"Colleague?"
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are there any other colleagues in Sha City?"
After speaking, he saw Ming Yi staring at him.
"Uncle Seven, have you really forgotten? In Nansheng Province, there's a group of people," Ming Yi said. "If it's them, it will be a bit difficult."
"Them?"
Ning Fengzhi fell silent for a second, his eyes suddenly widening. "Them?!"
