I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast Chapter 49: Enchantress

In a luxurious apartnt in a high-end district in the south of the city, with an area exceeding 200 square ters, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo stood by the floor-to-ceiling window.

anwhile, professionals wearing gloves ticulously inspected all items in the room, including the bathroom and bedroom, leaving no detail unchecked.

After about half an hour, a middle-aged man approached them.

"Gentlen, from the analysis of toiletries and kitchenware traces, it seems no one has lived here for three days, and there’s no recorded entry or exit of Jiang Chong in the surveillance at the gates of the complex."

"We can confirm that he has indeed left."

"Earlier, I had our team check the transportation records; there’s no sign of him taking the train or plane. It’s very likely he left in a car via the highway or national road."

"He’s from a single-parent family; his father works in another province, and when we called him, he sounded very impatient and has no intention of returning."

"He said if his son broke the law, he should be dealt with according to legal regulations."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Jiang Hou nodded politely, "Thank you, Captain Ma."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "It’s my duty, not a problem. By the way, gentlen, should we issue a warrant for Jiang Chong, or investigate discreetly?"

"...About that."

Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo exchanged a glance and pondered it: "Let’s not issue a warrant for now; there’s another lead I want to pursue."

"If we issue the warrant, he might hide deeper once he realizes he’s exposed, and Jiang Chong as the culprit is just our conjecture so far."

The professional matters are handled by professionals. After determining Jiang Chong as a major suspect, Jiang Hou and his team contacted the criminal investigation departnt, which dispatched a squad to assist.

This is the standard procedure for dealing with mutants.

Specialized criminal investigators carry energy detectors and other tools to locate and lock onto the target, followed by Celestial Demon Awakening mbers who would execute the takedown.

There are too few stable-minded Transcendents, and Celestial Demon Awakening personnel are often busy with ’cultivation’ and don’t have much ti for investigations.

As Captain Ma Bowen and his team left, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo leisurely headed to the exercise room.

The walls there were pitted and dented, covered with small pits, and the punching bag on the floor was deford, with many signs of claw tears on its surface.

Jiang Hou mused, "Jiang Chong should belong to the Celestial Demon Awakening system, his strength shouldn’t be formidable. Judging from the damage on the walls, it should be around the second tier."

Zong Zheng Nan Mo stroked his chin, "If it’s just the second tier, it’s not a big problem; we can handle it."

"The trouble now is how to find Jiang Chong. I feel Li ngwu is still hiding sothing and hasn’t been completely truthful with you."

Jiang Hou nodded, "I have the sa feeling. She was very calm at the ti, unlike how a normal person would react to law enforcent."

"By the way, when you were checking Jiang Chong’s file, did you co across anything about Li ngwu?"

"Yes, their family situations are sowhat similar."

Zong Zheng Nan Mo said, "Jiang Chong is from a single-parent family, with a father who’s indifferent to him because he’s away all year. Li ngwu’s parents divorced when she was young, and she lives with her career-driven mother."

"Two years ago, Li ngwu left Demon Sea City to return to her hotown, Yidu, to attend high school alone."

"They are classmates, both very attractive, sharing similar family environnts, which is why they could be friends, especially Jiang Chong."

"In the first year of high school, to avoid Li ngwu feeling alienated, he even ford a six-person team with a few classmates, though this detail isn’t in the files."

Imdiately, a smile appeared on Jiang Hou’s face.

"I never expected their family situations to be so similar. If that’s the case, perhaps we can find Jiang Chong through Li ngwu."

"Given Jiang Chong’s ’investnt’ in Li ngwu, he might not resist coming back to look for her, unaware he’s already exposed."

"Of course, that’s assuming the case as we’ve surmised; Jiang Chong is the culprit. Otherwise..." Jiang Hou paused here.

Actually, he had another hypothesis, that Li ngwu might be the culprit and Jiang Chong is already dead.

But this hypothesis is too absurd. He detected no energy fluctuations in Li ngwu, indicating she wasn’t an Awakened. How could she kill Jiang Chong?

Moreover, she has no grievances with those two classmates, no motive for murder; it couldn’t be just because they confessed their feelings for her, could it?

At 4:30 in the afternoon, as school dismissal music played, the campus beca lively.

Soon, the tall and attractive Li ngwu accompanied by a short-haired girl walked out of the school, heading towards the gaming district.

Not far behind them, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo quietly appeared.

"Jiang Hou, shouldn’t we be getting closer?" Watching Li ngwu almost disappearing at the street’s end, Zong Zheng Nan Mo seed puzzled.

Jiang Hou gently shook his head, "Don’t follow too closely, we might get noticed."

With Jiang Hou’s eyesight, as long as there are no obstructions, he can lock onto Li ngwu’s figure even from a kiloter away, so there’s no need to get too close.

Then, like ordinary high school students, the two arrived at the largest shopping mall’s third-floor gaming arena in the South.

Given it was after school hours, many students from nearby junior and senior high schools gathered here, making it very lively. The ga machines, shooting, and dancing machines were all crowded.

Among them, Li ngwu and the short-haired girl occupied a dance machine, their stunning figures and vibrant, energetic dance steps drew many onlookers.

From the ice cream shop opposite, Zong Zheng Nan Mo was a bit surprised, "I didn’t expect Li ngwu, who’s good at academics, to also be an excellent dancer."

"Indeed, quite impressive," Jiang Hou nodded.

On the dance machine, Li ngwu resembled a queen on stage, her expression focused and confident, each movent precise and rhythmic. Coupled with the flashing lights enhancing her striking beauty, she was like a peerless enchantress.

Though the girl is pretty and charming, the mall’s security is well-managed, so other than people wanting to add her as a friend, no disturbances occurred.

After dancing two songs and warming up, Li ngwu and the short-haired girl went to play shooting gas and racing, continuing until 5:30 before leaving the gaming arena.

At this point, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo split, with Jiang Hou heading ho directly.

At six o’clock, as Jiang Hou entered the living room, he noticed Qin Siyu sprawled on the sofa playing with her phone, her little legs tucked in black stockings swinging back and forth.

"Jiang Hou, why are you back so late today?"

She spoke, not waiting for Jiang Hou to remind her, she instinctively pulled down her red skirt rolled up at her waist to cover her bottom.

"The club activity ended a bit late today."

"By the way, Siyu, after dinner I’ll be going out for a while. Our club has a real combat activity tonight, so I might co back late. Don’t wait up for ."

"Real combat? What real combat? Isn’t your club focused on practicing Ancient Boxing Skills?" Qin Siyu was taken aback.

Jiang Hou explained with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to fight. It’s a chance to observe actual combat, to learn from experience with other club mbers."

This was a reason Jiang Hou ca up with on his way ho.

"Oh, alright, you scared for a mont. I thought you were going to fight."

"Make sure it’s not about fighting, just go early and co back early, don’t stay out too late."
