Chapter 77: Yan Jing's Attack Curse!

  After a long while, just as Zheng was anxiously preparing to open the door and send Wu to the hospital, he finally took a deep breath and slowly came back to consciousness. In an instant, his scattered pupils refocused, but they no longer had their previous vigor and vitality, instead looking extremely exhausted.

  Suddenly, Yan Jing let out a startled cry of joy, "Zheng Xie, you've finally woken up! You scared me to death just now!"

  Seeing Yan Jing's anxious appearance, Wu Zhengyi's heart suddenly warmed up, but he gritted his teeth and said helplessly, "I'm telling you, Xiao Jing, you almost took my life! If it were someone else, they'd probably be dead from your attack spell already!"

  "Really, I didn't mean to." Yan Jing looked very wronged as she pulled on Wu Zheng Xie's hand. "I also don't know what those few sentences meant, they suddenly appeared in my mind and I just recited them out loud, didn't think you'd be okay now?"

  Wu Zhengxie smiled wryly, "I guess I managed to save a life," As he said this, Wu Zhengxie's expression suddenly turned serious. "Xiao Jing, the golden light just now was also the protective charm's attack spell. This spell uses the spiritual power of the heavenly soul as its foundation, and with the half drop of yuan force I gave you added to it, it's equivalent to helping you open up a path from your heavenly soul to your brow. From now on, you'll be able to use this to launch spiritual attacks."

  Just remember, Xiao Jing, this spiritual attack is very powerful. Just now, if my heavenly soul wasn't strong enough and I didn't have the protection of Lingtai, I'm afraid that after being hit by your attack, I wouldn't die but would become an idiot.

  "If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be able to withstand that attack!"

  "Alright, I understand now. From now on, I won't use it again." Yan Jing's face was serious.

  Wu Zhengye shook his head, "Xiao Jing, you should think carefully about it later. Spiritual attacks can change in intensity. Mastering a certain spiritual attack will bring you great benefits without any harm. Self-defense is just one aspect of it. As a police officer, when you encounter those stubborn criminals, you can use spiritual attacks to make them confess!"

  "Ah, really!" As soon as Wu Zhengye said this, Yan Jing's face was instantly filled with surprise and eager anticipation.

  Wu Zhengye shook his head as he watched the scene, and in his heart, he secretly sighed, "The former cold and icy Captain Yan probably won't be coming back."

  Just as Wu Zhengxie was sighing, Yan Jing placed a file in front of him. "Zhengxie, this contains all the information on our city's recent unsolved cases, including photos, identities and occupations of the missing and deceased. Take a look."

  Speaking of the matter, Yan Jing's expression turned serious again, and her beautiful eyes were calm with wisdom. "In the past six months, the police stations in both the south and north of our city have received a total of five cases of missing persons... no, it should be six!"

  The last person who went missing was the one you reported to us that time, a man named Zhang Dong, vice president of Tongmeng Group in our city, living in Villa No. 7, Fujiang Riverside Villa District.

  According to the surveillance cameras in the city, he was on his way home after work when the incident occurred. The next day, we found his car at the Huaqiang Garbage Landfill in the northern part of the city, with no signs of robbery or struggle.

  What's even more astonishing is that there were no fingerprints on his car at all, including his own!

  This situation seems to have been manipulated by someone after the fact, but his bizarre death has overturned our police's various conjectures about him, so for now it can only be temporarily classified as an 'unsolved case'.

  Of the five people who went missing earlier, three were also wealthy businessmen with their own companies and assets worth tens of millions. To this day, the fate of these three wealthy businessmen remains unknown. Another one was a government employee in charge of typing and copying documents at the H City Government Office.

  That civil servant was named 'Huang Wang', his hometown is in Guangdong, there's nothing special about him, his family background is ordinary, and he also went missing on the way home from work in the afternoon.

  The last person was just a gluttonous and lazy, idle and unemployed, gambled like his life depended on it. His name is 'Xu Tianba', 44 years old this year, unmarried, no children, no job, at home with a frail and presbyopic elderly mother. His father died in a traffic accident a year ago, the compensation was three hundred thousand, but Xu Tianba had almost gambled it all away. And Xu Tianba's disappearance is exactly what his mother sent someone to report as a case.

  "This is roughly what happened in those six missing persons cases."

  Wu Zheng nodded, "Xiao Jing, I used to watch those police movies on the street where they cracked cases, some of which were about finding commonalities among cases. Xiao Jing, what do you think is the commonality among these six cases?"

  Yan Jing furrowed her brow, silent for a moment before saying, "The common point of these six cases, our police have studied particularly, first, the six missing persons all disappeared after getting off work in the afternoon, from this we can see that the murderer's time of committing the crime is fixed."

  "Secondly, there is no trace of them at the scene of their disappearance, which shows that the murderer must be an expert in anti-detection!"

  "Is that all?" Wu Zhengxie smiled at Yan Jing, "I'm saying, Little Jing, your police department has been researching for so long and only came up with these two leads?"

  "This" Yan Jing frowned, "Zheng Xie, you think these two are unimportant?"

  "No," Wu Zhengxie shook his head, "what I mean is that you haven't grasped the key common point."

  "What's the key point then?" Yan Jing's beautiful eyes narrowed suspiciously at Wu Zhengye, she really didn't believe that Wu Zhengye could come up with something more crucial than what they had concluded after working overtime and racking their brains.

  "Heh," Wu Zhengxie didn't mind Yan Jing's suspicious expression, and instead stood up, walked to the water dispenser, poured two cups of hot water, and handed one to Yan Jing before saying, "Xiao Jing, think about it, are all six missing people men? Is this a common point?"

  "Hmm!" Yan Jing was stunned, but after thinking for a moment, she slowly nodded, "That's right, the six missing and dead people are all men. But is that important?"

  "Of course it's important!" Wu Zhengxie blew on the white open water in his hand, took a light sip, and continued, "For you, if all the missing people were women, maybe it would have caused concern and attention. But men are just injured objects in your hearts, what 'rape', 'female cadres', selling 'yin' and so on are all targeted at women."

  But you've forgotten, men can get hurt too!" As he said this, Wu Zhengyi seemed to have touched a sore spot, and let out a deep sigh. "When I was six years old, if I hadn't been kidnapped by human traffickers, maybe... maybe I would be happy now, at the very least my father wouldn't have been killed by someone else."

  "Zheng Xie, let bygones be bygones. You still have me now, and I believe we'll live a very happy life together. Don't think about those unhappy things anymore. I'm sure Uncle and Aunt want you to be happy too, don't they?"

  Taking a deep breath, Wu Zhengxie smiled calmly and said, "Xiao Jing, I've been through so many years, nothing's wrong, just feeling a bit sentimental when mentioning the past. Alright, let's get back to the topic."

  They are all men, this is the first common point! From the situation of that dead person at the beginning, we can analyze it from another aspect.

  Firstly, the evil spirits on men and women are different. Simply put, the evil spirits on men are very strong and fierce, while those on women are relatively gentle and soft. Moreover, four out of six people are businessmen. Xiaojing, you should have heard of the term "unscrupulous businessman", right?

  Since they are unscrupulous businessmen, it's impossible for them to be kind-hearted. Consequently, people will inevitably curse them behind their backs, and they will naturally carry various evil spirits on their bodies!

  And then there's Xu Tianbiao, the unfilial son.

  "Wait," Yan Jing interrupted, "speaking of which, Xu Tianba may have all sorts of flaws, but he can barely be called a 'filial son'!"

  "Huh?" Wu Zheng's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "It's like this," Yan Jing nodded affirmatively, "Xu Tianba is indeed a good gambler, but when it comes to his elderly mother, he has nothing to say. This point has already been acknowledged by his neighbors and fellow villagers, but once he gets hooked on gambling, it's not easy to quit."

  According to our police investigation, he last appeared at the Da Fa Casino on the day of his disappearance.

  "What's with the big casino?" Wu Zhengye narrowed his eyes and interrupted Yan Jing, "Little Jing, what's the background of this big casino?"

  Mei's brow furrowed slightly as she stared at Wu Zhengye, "Zhengye, does this have something to do with the big casino?"

  "No," Wu Zhengxie shook his head with a cold face, "I just asked casually, if you don't know then forget it."

  "Hmm," after a moment of silence, Yan Jing continued, "The Great Fortune Casino is also known as the 'Great Fortune Entertainment Club'. It has a deep background in our city, and the boss of the casino is a wealthy businessman from Shanghai with great financial resources. He has strong connections with high-level officials in our city government, and it's said that he also has a wide network of connections in the capital!"

  "Do you know the hot spring entertainment club?" Looking at Wu Zhengxie, "Zhou Dafu, also known as the boss of Dafu Casino, holds 51% of the shares in the hot spring entertainment club and is the real mastermind behind our city's 'Huangjin Cave' and 'Immortal's Den'!"

  Listening to Yan Jing's words, Wu Zhengye's eyebrows furrowed even tighter. He had never imagined that the Da Fa Casino he hated to the bone would have such a background and strength, which made him feel somewhat anxious and disordered.

  "For no reason, Wu Zheng suddenly became furious and shouted, 'I just don't understand, that big casino is obviously a gathering place for gambling, and the hot spring entertainment club is obviously a high-end brothel, why don't you police go catch them?'"
