Reincarnated as an Energy with a System Chapter 1884: Back at the Station

Larissa walked out of her van, Jack and Mira walking out behind her. She looked around, noticing the limo that was pulled out of the divot on the side of the road. She saw the driver talking to the cops.

She noticed a ton of ice around the place, blocks of it still unlting. She couldn’t imagine where that could’ve co from. She had yet to be reported.

She then walked into the woods, now bright with various light sources that had been prepared at the scene of the cri.

The Imp’s corpse lay at a rather inconspicuous location, with not any of the surrounding area disturbed, despite hearing about so fight taking place nearby.

She crouched down next to the corpse, examining it closely. The forensics team had already begun long before her, caras flashing as they docunted the scene from every angle. Larissa studied the caved-in chest, the broken ribs, and the blood pooled beneath the body.

There was not much sign of fight. No prolonged beating. No altercation as the Imp looked mostly unhard.

It was a surreal feeling for Larissa to sit this close to the corpse of an Imp. She had certain misgivings about the lower races being hurt and abused by the society, but this ti it was very different.

This Imp was far from the lowest of people in the society. And he was the one that did the harming and abusing. In a way, he was the antithesis to all of her beliefs, a living example of her hypocrisy.

Well, not living anymore.

There wasn’t much to gain from the surrounding. It was clear that there was no weapon or hidden evidence to be found. After a minute or so of looking around, Jack approached her, whispering sothing into her ear.

Larissa nodded, she stood and walked over to where Lightspeed, Frostveil, and Vanisher were being questioned by the cops.

"What happened here?" she asked.

Lightspeed stepped forward imdiately. "I wasn’t involved, Detective. I arrived after everything was already over."

"And what did you see?" Larissa asked her.

"The corpse first. And then these three heroes sitting around over there. The one they took away already confessed to the murder."

Larissa nodded. "Thank you for your help. If we need anything else, we will call for you."

Lightspeed nodded. "Call whenever you want. I’ll be no more than a few minutes away."

The man turned and walked away. After he was far enough, he sped up imdiately, his body glowing brightly as he sped up faster than even a car could. He left behind a bright blur as he vanished into the distance within seconds.

Larissa turned to the remaining two. "You two witnessed the whole thing?"

"She did," Vanisher said. "I was missing during the part where Forgath was killed."

"I see. I will need the two of you to co by the station to give us your statent."

"Of course," Frostveil said with a nod.

There wasn’t much left to do anymore, so Larissa left the rest of the task to others and returned to the station. Ning was already brought back and placed in a holding cell for now.

Frostveil and Vanisher arrived almost the sa ti as Larissa did and were quickly taken to separate rooms.

The chief called her to his office before she got the chance to talk to them.

Larissa knocked on the door and walked in.

"Is there a chance he didn’t do it?" the chief asked.

"None. He pretty much confessed already. The only thing we can hope for now is hope his cris aren’t as big as they appear to be."

The chief laughed mirthlessly. "He becos a hero for one mont and already kills a billionaire. It won’t be as easy to sweep under the rug as we did the last one. What are we supposed to do in this situation?"

Larissa shrugged. "Just do what we’ve been doing all this ti," she said. "We have a murderer in our midst, so we get justice."

The chief looked up. "You’re ready to throw him in prison?"

"No," Larissa said with no small amount of confidence. "I’m just betting on the fact that justice will be in our favor. You must know, sir, that Forgath was the Number 5 that we received the ssage from. He was the person that had been tapping into our network, watching our every movent."

"Damn them!" the chief cursed before nodding slowly. "Do what you must do. Forget about the dia, the higher-ups, or anything else. I’ll handle that."

Larissa nodded and thanked the chief before walking out.

Mira quickly arrived, giving her a pair of headphones.

Larissa gave a strange look.

"The recording I made. Of Forgath."

Upon hearing Mira’s words, she quickly nodded and put on the headphones.

She listened to everything. Ning had started the call around the ti he deposited Vanisher onto the roof and had been goading him into speaking out everything. The bribery, the news of the apocalypse, the confession of trying to kill him—everything was clear to hear on the phone call recording.

"Good," Larissa said. "This will be helpful. For now, where is Vanisher being kept?"

Vanisher leaned against his chair in the room, waiting for Larissa to walk in. The mont she did, he spilled everything the mont she sat down.

"The hero Blackfang made threats on Forgath’s life in the fundraiser party today, so Forgath hired us to protect him. But it was more than hiring. He sohow purchased our loyalty as well, despite the suppression field at the place."

"Once we left, he chased the limo. We tried to get away, but Blackfang kept chasing us, right until we swerved and the limo crashed into the divot. We got out and Frostveil managed to freeze Blackfang, but not for long. Blackfang then carried to the top of a building and kept there."

"He only ca to get after everything else was over. That is all I can tell you. Frostveil knows the rest."
