Cheng Ji asked casually, "Have you checked everything down there?"

The old police officer seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and hurried over to block Cheng Ji. He replied nervously, "Of course we checked. There is not even a trace of a heavy object falling on the ground. We have searched inside and outside."

As he spoke, the old police officer rubbed his hands pretending to be calm, and quickly asked everyone to go downstairs: "I told you, there is no body of the fifteenth person. Let's go and see if the autopsies of the fourteen people can find any clues."

Cheng Ji noticed the police officer's nervousness, and looked at Hei Xiazi beside him, but did not choose to expose him.

The four of them staggered downstairs. When they reached the second floor, Cheng Ji stopped, turned around and asked, "Where are we going?"

Although he was asking the questions, his hands were not idle. As if casually doing so while speaking, he tapped the wall twice, waiting for the two police officers' response.

"Police station, the one nearby."

The old police officer looked a little impatient. He explained the exact location to Cheng Ji and the others twice, and then he started to urge them to hurry down: "Hurry up, the staff will be off work soon, and then it will be a wasted trip."

After listening to the old police officer's words, Cheng Ji didn't know what he was thinking but he was not so anxious anymore. He went downstairs and did not choose to go out the door, but walked towards the courtyard in the middle of the building.

The old police officer looked at the direction the two men were walking, and for a moment he was a little panicked. He hurried over and shouted, "You're going the wrong way, the wrong way. The door is this way, go this way!"

Cheng Ji and Hei Xia Zi ignored the words of the two police officers and continued walking inside. They were stopped by the old police officer when they reached the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, the old police officer didn't even care that Hei Xia Zi was an expert sent by the higher-ups. He just started to scold him: "Protect the scene and cooperate with the work. Do you understand? Don't scare him away."

Cheng Ji sneered, raised his hand, and with one finger pushed away the old policeman's arm that was blocking him and Hei Xiazi little by little.

The old policeman only then realized that one should not judge a person by his appearance. He tried almost all his strength but could not even move a finger of the young man in front of him.

Cheng Ji took advantage of the old police officer's panic and squeezed directly through the gap he had just opened.

Hei Xiazi deliberately stopped when Cheng Ji was walking past him, smiled at the old police officer, and reminded him softly, "It seems that you have no right to order me."

After he finished speaking, he straightened his black leather collar and strode towards where Cheng Ji was.

Cheng Ji looked at Hei Xia Zi coming over and waved, motioning him to stand next to him, because the two police officers were still distracted at the door and did not catch up.

Cheng Ji simply reminded Hei Xia Zi: "Do you feel it? I feel like it's coming towards you."

Although Hei Xiazi had some feelings in his heart, he was not as straightforward as Cheng Ji said. When he heard it, he couldn't help but be stunned: "They are coming for me, Master Cheng, you are joking, why would they go to such great lengths to deal with a blind man like me?"

Cheng Ji chuckled, and said as much: "Some people want to protect the Nine Gates, but some people just don't want to see others from the Nine Gates outdo them."

At this point, there was nothing that Hei Xia Zi didn't understand. If he couldn't explain the whole matter, it would be difficult to resolve it peacefully.

He is now somewhat famous in this field, but Chen Pi's strong character makes him destined to be excluded by those with ulterior motives among the Nine Gates.

He had been following Master Chen Si a few years ago and had become a little too ostentatious. He had touched some people's hearts, so naturally there would be people who disliked you and wanted to cut off your left and right arms. It was human nature.

After Cheng Ji finished saying this, two policemen, sweating profusely, ran over from the door and stood behind Cheng Ji and Hei Xia Zi in fear.

This was different from the original plan. The man specifically instructed that they must wait three days before letting Hei Xia Zi open the ancient well.

At that time, the thing in the ancient well would be attached to him in a targeted manner.

But if they open it now, what if that damn thing accidentally hurts them?
