Faced with Xiao Qiang's hint, the other party seemed oblivious. His lowered head highlighted a deep sadness, even despair; he was no longer the arrogant Wen Kai, but appeared to be a completely different person.
Suddenly, Xiao Qiang thought of a way to identify him: he needed to see the code on his arm! He pondered how to do this without alerting those who were secretly watching them.
Just as Xiao Qiang was formulating his plan, the opponent abruptly looked up, his eyes filled with hostility as he stared directly at him. He opened his mouth to reveal a set of white teeth and spoke each word clearly: "Come on! You dog bastard, wait until the teacher comes to deal with you." As he spoke, his cheeks bulged, and a trickle of dark red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
No! Xiao Qiang gasped in shock, but it was too late. Looking at Wen Kai, who had already succumbed and hung his head in defeat, he shouted angrily, "Coward! Only a coward chooses to commit suicide." In a fit of rage, he suddenly widened his eyes at a more terrifying sight. In an instant, the one who had taken his own life was enveloped in a faint mist.
This was the most bizarre scene of suicide ever witnessed. What was happening? Xiao Qiang stared in disbelief as the mist slowly changed color. Moments later, it turned pink; upon closer inspection, the figure had become a puddle of flesh that gradually spread out.
What the hell! Witnessing the process of suicide and incineration made Xiao Qiang feel an unsettling chill creep up his spine. He felt nauseous—this brutal method of suicide was something he had never seen before. The poison lodged between the teeth led to death after being bitten down upon; as Potency entered the Capillary system, it fused into the organs and blood vessels, causing all bodily organs to disintegrate into a pool of blood!
Xiao Qiang's legs felt as heavy as lead, and in his line of sight lingered a pink mist that refused to dissipate. The mist was the heat from the deceased's body, changing color as it mixed with blood.
A foot away from the bloodstain lay a delicate pen that caught his attention. He glanced around and pretended to check the ground; stepping on the pen, he bent down to examine it closely—'Portable Laser Tracker?'
Was this Portable Laser Tracker Wen Kai's? No way! Was he really Wen Kai? If so, why did he commit suicide?
Xiao Qiang hesitated to pick up the pen. He straightened his clothes and composed himself, estimating that those Abnormal Humanoid bugs lurking in the shadows would soon come to clean up.
Sure enough, there was a commotion at the door followed by the sound of locks turning. Several members of Abnormal Humanoid rushed in one after another. Yuan Qi waved his large hand, signaling for one of them to gesture for Xiao Qiang to leave. The remaining Abnormal Humanoids chattered among themselves inside without revealing what they were saying before filing out one by one.
Without Wen Kai around and no more worries behind him, should he make a move? Xiao Qiang questioned himself while calculating in his mind but put on an act of fear and helplessness.
"Wildfire, do you need our help?"
Xiao Qiang hesitated, "Wildfire?"
Yuan Qi glanced at him with suspicion. "Aren't you called Wildfire?"
Xiao Qiang cursed inwardly, damn it, but he kept his mouth busy, laughing awkwardly, "Oh, look at my memory; I was just startled."
Yuan Qi shook his head, the doubt in his eyes dissipating. "Wildfire, feel free."
Xiao Qiang thought to himself: These pests won't let me go so easily? Damn, I was hoping for a big showdown! It seems I'm going to be disappointed. "Well, thank you. May I ask where my little buddy is?" He was referring to the Little Skeleton.
Yuan Qi replied politely, "Waiting for you outside."
Knowing full well that things weren't that simple, he still had to feign gratitude. "Thank you." Xiao Qiang walked over casually, adopting a nonchalant posture. He took the car keys from Yuan Qi's fingers, suppressing his disgust, nodded slightly to express his thanks, and turned to leave. He silently counted the steps away from Yuan Qi: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
Yuan Qi watched Xiao Qiang gradually fade into the distance with a glint of cunning in his eyes; a meaningful smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Catch him."
As expected, Xiao Qiang was called back by Yuan Qi's shout. He stood still as if he were a pine tree. His fingers slowly gathered strength as he focused his mind—
A rhythmic yet calm set of footsteps approached from behind. It was Yuan Qi; Xiao Qiang had memorized his mannerisms and the sound of his footsteps.
Silently, with just a gesture, he dismissed the Abnormal Humanoids surrounding Xiao Qiang. As Yuan Qi moved closer to him and stepped in front of him with an apologetic smile, he asked, "Wildfire is a detective?"
"..." Xiao Qiang forced a smile and replied, "Yes. May I ask what you want?"
"Not much; those in this line of work usually possess unique skills."
"How could Mr. Yuan Qi be as miraculous as he says?" Xiao Qiang secretly cursed, thinking of the cunning devil. What does he want to do with Grandpa Xiao? At worst, I'll fight to the death.
"I want to ask Wildfire for a favor." At this point, Yuan Qi seemed hesitant, glancing around before leaning closer to Xiao Qiang and saying, "Help me find my daughter."
"..." Xiao Qiang gave him a faint glance. Just that one look was enough. There was sorrow in Yuan Qi's eyes—wasn't he an Abnormal Humanoid? Was he a Humanoid Puppet? To encounter a Humanoid Puppet that still retained a clear consciousness, was it a blessing or a curse? "Alright, once I get the information, I'll definitely help you, but I can't guarantee an exact time."
Yuan Qi nodded calmly, quickly shaking hands with Xiao Qiang.
Neither servile nor overbearing, he kept his gaze straight ahead. Little Skeleton followed closely behind, and Xiao Qiang pressed the car remote, maintaining a composed expression as he walked ahead with an upright posture. As they passed through a checkpoint, he mentally prepared himself—click! He clicked the remote eight times in total before stepping out of the eerie gate. Finally, he saw the car parked steadily, waiting for him for quite some time.
Once inside the comfortable vehicle, Xiao Qiang took out the room card provided by Matt and inserted it into the automatic navigation system. The car hummed as it smoothly glided along the road, quickly finding his private apartment.
Little Skeleton had been very well-behaved, not making any eerie sounds. Xiao Qiang retrieved his identity card from the car's safe. It read: Wildfire, Male, Age 23, Private Detective.
His first case was to investigate the mystery of a suicide. He cleverly sidestepped Yuan Qi's request; however, Yuan Qi was indeed someone who could be utilized and helped.
Leaning comfortably against the edge of the pool, he watched the rippling water surface gently impact his skin. He smiled to himself: no fangs, no blood-red eyes; he had managed to fool that dog-like Abnormal Humanoid completely—brother, that's just how it is!
