Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 184 New Clues

The streets outside Tian Shu Hall are relatively quiet. This place is quite remote, with only one or two pedestrian crossings occasionally. In late spring, a gentle breeze blows on you, and every now and then a petal or two falls from the tree.

Qin Xiaochuan walked silently along the roadside, his mind still replaying what Ouyang Hao had just said.

"Is that blood witch really dead?" Guo Shiyi asked.

"Why do you ask that?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at her and asked in return. She was dressed in a lively and cute way today, which made people feel happy just looking at her.

"I just feel a little sorry," she said, tilting her head.

"What's there to regret?"

"Don't you think his actions were actually quite understandable?"

"But he is a blood witch."

Guo Shiyi said dismissively, "What's wrong with Blood Witches? Blood Witches were human before, with both good and bad sides. Even among the demon race, there are loyal ones like Xiao Yi, aren't there?"

Looking at her serious face, Qin Xiaochuan asked, "What would you do if someone around you became a blood witch?"

"Impossible. I won't let the people around me become blood witches," Guo Shiyi said without hesitation.

"If, I mean if."

"If that really happens," Guo Shiyi looked into Qin Xiaochuan's eyes and said earnestly, "I will definitely protect him and prevent him from being harmed by humans."

Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and flicked Guo Shiyi's nose with his finger, saying, "You really are a man of great principle."

"Of course." Guo Shiyi turned around cheerfully, stood on a steel pipe railing by the roadside, and stretched out her arms to maintain her balance as she walked forward.

"How come you're just as childish as Xiaoying?" Qin Xiaochuan teased from the side.

"Because she's just a child," Guo Shiyi said with a smile.

"She's still a beautiful and lovely child," Qin Xiaochuan agreed.

Guo Shiyi gave him a sly look and said, "Now you can tell me, right?"

"Tell what?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, puzzled.

"Is that blood witch really dead?" Guo Shiyi asked.

Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but recall the scene from that night. When Qiu Jie appeared before him and Han Kexin covered in wounds, he said to her with relief, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"Because I don't want Wang to bow down and apologize to those damned people," Qiu Jie said resolutely.

Qin Xiaochuan sighed and said, "But the mistake you made is unforgivable. You can no longer stay in this world, do you understand?"

"I understand," Qiu Jie said nonchalantly.

"It's good that you understand." Qin Xiaochuan stretched out his right hand, and a bluish-white flame rose from his palm.

"What happened? Tell me quickly." Guo Shiyi's urging pulled Qin Xiaochuan's thoughts back to reality from his memories.

Qin Xiaochuan waved to her, signaling her to come closer.

"What's wrong?" Guo Shiyi looked at him with confusion, but still went over to him and put her hand on Qin Xiaochuan's shoulder.

Qin Xiaochuan leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"I see." Guo Shiyi seemed a little unhappy, but finally could only say helplessly, "Okay."

Qin Xiaochuan smiled and patted her head, saying, "Sometimes there are just many things in this world that are beyond our control."

"I wonder how the investigation into that traffic accident is going. Why don't we go and take a look?" Guo Shiyi said.

"Mmm." Qin Xiaochuan nodded.

After chasing Qiu Jie that day, Guo Shiyi reported the car accident that hid a bigger conspiracy to the police. However, due to the lack of conclusive evidence, the case was still classified as a traffic accident, but the police were still conducting a secret investigation.

When Guo Shiyi inquired about the investigation results, the investigators explained the findings to her in detail, but the results were not satisfactory.

According to the car driver's statement, a sudden bright light shone in through the car window, causing him to lose consciousness briefly and lose control of the vehicle, which led to the subsequent traffic accident. According to the surveillance footage, there was indeed a beam of light at the scene, but the source was in a blind spot of the surveillance camera, so the cause is unclear.

Qin Xiaochuan frowned upon hearing this. If what the driver said was true, then it was very likely that a superhuman was involved. However, since the caster was not seen, the clue had almost gone cold.

"Did the other side really leave no flaws?" Qin Xiaochuan thought. This result completely confirmed Si Chennan's words. Qin Xiaochuan looked at Guo Shiyi, who was clearly unwilling when she heard the news.

"However, I found some clues on another driver?" the investigator added after introducing the case.

"What clue?" Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi asked in unison.

"In one case, a truck was hit from behind by a car, which caused it to change direction and rush towards pedestrians on the zebra crossing. We initially thought the truck was just caught in the middle, but after on-site investigation, we found that the truck accelerated after being hit. Later, we investigated the driver, Yu, and found that he had been sentenced for drunk driving ten years ago. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that this accident was premeditated."

"You mean this accident was actually a conspiracy between the car driver and the truck driver?" Qin Xiaochuan asked in surprise, he had never expected the case to be so complicated.

"That's what we originally thought too," the investigators said. "But after interrogating Yu, we found out that wasn't the case. Yu and Yuan didn't know each other and there was no connection between them in their lives. So we can preliminarily conclude that these are two independent cases that just happened to come together."

"So, there might be two groups of people trying to attack Yang Yutong?" Qin Xiaochuan frowned.

That's how it seems at the moment.

"Have you found out who was behind that truck driver?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.

"Yu wasn't familiar with that person either; he only knew that people in the underworld called him 'Brother Kun.' We're still investigating other leads," the investigators said regretfully at the end.

"What do you think about this?" Guo Shiyi asked Qin Xiaochuan after leaving the investigation office.

"This matter is very strange. Yang Yutong is clearly just an ordinary girl who is not very noticeable. I can understand why two groups of people would try to kill her. I can understand why the Jiang Group used her to lure out the Blood Witch behind her. But what is the purpose of the other group? It is really hard to understand," Qin Xiaochuan analyzed.

"Could it have been done by the relatives of the other two victimized girls?" Guo Shiyi asked.

Qin Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "They investigated a long time ago, and there was no indication or ability among the two girls' relatives and friends to do so."

"The only clue left is that 'Brother Kun,' but we have too little information about him," Guo Shiyi sighed.

Qin Xiaochuan rolled his eyes and smiled slyly, "I've thought of a great place to go."
