"Knock knock knock!" There was a regular knock on the door, and Li Dajun went forward to open it.

"Hello, I'm Cheng Feng, captain of the Urban Shadow Investigation Team. Are you the one who reported the case?" Several law enforcement officers in ordinary clothes were standing outside the door. The leading policeman was tall and strong, and he showed his ID.

"Yes, it's us." Li Dajun quickly welcomed everyone into the house...

Qing Lian saw a ray of hope and said anxiously: "Sir Law Enforcer, my daughter has been abducted by the Hand of Darkness..."

"Please stay calm and tell me the details slowly."

Cheng Feng frowned upon hearing this, "So the kidnappers asked for 500,000 gold coins before sunset?"

"That's right." Qing Lian nodded hurriedly.

"Is it gold and silver currency?"

"Yes."

"Do you need any help?" At this time, the Silver and Money Exchange had already closed its doors to visitors, and it was not easy to raise such a huge sum of money in a short period of time.

Li Dajun quickly responded: "That's not necessary."

"Okay, did the kidnapper mention the method of transaction?"

"No, just said he would contact us again."

Cheng Feng turned to his men and ordered, "Xiao Wang, activate the tracking device and see if you can locate the kidnapper."

"As you command, sir."

After a moment, the answer was revealed, "Sir, we can't locate them. The other party's communicator has been turned off."

Cheng Feng pursed his lips in thought.

Qing Lian glanced at Cheng Feng hesitantly, then looked at Li Li, feeling conflicted about how to mention Fang Qizhi.

Cheng Feng noticed her hesitation and asked, "Is there any other information you want to share?"

Li Li nodded slightly to Qing Lian. Cheng Feng noticed this action. He swept his sharp eyes over Li Li, who smiled gently.

Is this the girl that the director mentioned who needs to be treated with caution? She seems to be nothing special except for her courage?

Qing Lian said, "Sir Law Enforcer, I suspect that it was my ex-partner, Fang Qizhi, who murdered my daughter."

"Your ex?" Cheng Feng perked up. Having a suspect is always better than searching blindly.

"Yes, his name is Fang Qizhi. He is addicted to gambling and often uses violence against us. He even pulled out a weapon due to an argument, which led to a divorce. So he may have held a grudge and attacked my daughter."

The police officer at the side wrote down Qing Lian's words word for word.

After some thought, Cheng Feng contacted the police and asked them to review past files, and it was confirmed that this incident had indeed occurred.

Fang Qizhi is a young girl who has just entered college and has simple interpersonal relationships. She does have a motive to commit a crime, but the investigation must be based on evidence and cannot be hastily concluded.

Li Li quietly turned the computer screen towards everyone, showing footage of Qing Yu and Fang Qizhi passing through the mysterious path one after another.

"What is this?" Cheng Feng was dumbfounded.

"Video footage of the surveillance barrier." Li Li said in a flat tone.

Cheng Feng looked at her meaningfully. How could he not understand that this was a surveillance video?

“I wonder how this was acquired?”

"Just like this, and then like that." Li Li looked innocent.

"Your Excellency Law Enforcer, my daughter Pingjiang loves to explore the mysterious network, and she must be eager to find clues." Li Dajun was worried that Cheng Feng would blame Li Li, so he quickly defended her.

Cheng Feng looked at her deeply and decided to put his doubts aside for the time being.

He stared at the masked man on the screen and asked Qing Lian, "Are you sure this is Fang Qizhi?"

"I'm sure it's him." Qing Lian said firmly.

"Xiao Wang, immediately search through the dragnet based on the image in the surveillance video. Make sure to find him and Qing Yu's location as soon as possible!" He gave the order coldly.

"Yes." Officer Xiao Wang immediately took action and entered the dragnet to search and compare carefully...

"Captain, we found a clue. Fang Qizhi and Qing Yu appeared at Lancheng University next to the School of Magic. Then Qing Yu walked into a cookie shop, apparently to buy magic materials. A minute later, Fang Qizhi followed, and the two of them did not come out for a long time."

"Didn't come out?" Cheng Feng frowned. "Contact the cookie shop immediately and ask if there is a secret passage?"

"As ordered."

The guard who responded quickly reported: "The Cookie House does have a hidden exit that leads to Deep Alley. It is a blind spot that cannot be monitored by the Magic Eye."

"How far is the nearest magic barrier detector?"

"The next corner is about a hundred steps away."

"search."

Xiao Wang sped up to check the magic image at that corner, but found nothing, not even the trace of Fang Qizhi and Qing Yu.

"Qing Yu ran into Fang Qizhi in the cookie shop. He must have said something to her, and then the two of them entered the alley together. Qing Yu is very alert and would not follow easily, so he might have cast a spell when she was not prepared. Fang Qizhi could not disappear out of thin air, so he must have a means of transportation. He could not use teleportation spells, and he did not have enough magic stones, so he most likely rented a magic carriage. Investigating the magic video at the corner ten minutes after they entered the store may provide clues."

All the guards stopped and stood there in shock, shocked by Li Li's analysis.

Cheng Feng looked at her deeply and ordered Xiao Wang: "Investigate according to what she said."

It was the peak magic season in Jianghe and the crowds were crowded, but fortunately the area was relatively remote and there were few passing magic carriages, and soon they made a discovery.

"Captain, we found it. The surveillance shows that around 5:50, a white magic car passed by. It was rented, and the renter was Fang Qizhi."

Cheng Feng's brows relaxed. Everything matched up, which also confirmed Li Li's speculation.

"Trace the path of this vehicle."

"The car drove westward until it reached Dawn Avenue, where there was no magical surveillance."

Near Dawn Avenue is an ancient magic city area and a village in the city. The residents are mixed, magic surveillance is scarce, and real-name registration is rarely required for rental houses, so it is easy to hide a person.

How to search such a vast area?

Jiang He's time had already pointed to 9:10 in the morning, and there were only fifty minutes left until the time Fang Qizhi mentioned.

Li Li obtained the required information, walked to the balcony, and dialed a number.

"Hello, Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Hui, who was having a meal, stood up instantly, flattered, "Sister Li, why did you call in person? What do you want?"

Zhao Hui was the bodyguard that Li Li seconded from the company for Qing Lian last time. He grew up in a village in the city and knew that area very well.

"Do you still remember Fang Qizhi from last time?"

Fang Qizhi? Zhao Hui searched for this name in his memory. What he hated most in his life was domestic abusers, so he was deeply impressed by Fang Qizhi.

"remember."

"He kidnapped my friend and may be in your area now. Please ask the brothers if anyone has seen him. If you can find him or any information about him, I will reward you handsomely."

Zhao Hui's expression became serious. "Sister Li, what do you mean by this? If you need anything, just tell me directly. There is no need to mention the reward. I will inquire about it right away and wait for good news."

Li Li gave him a generous salary, but he only inspected the demonic barriers and investigated the mysterious hidden dangers every day. He was as idle as if he was in a lonely bird's nest, and he was distressed that he could not be loyal to the lord.

"learn."

Li Li hung up the call and glanced back, only to see Cheng Feng standing behind her, looking confused.

"Captain, what do you want?" Li Li did not show any fear.

"You're looking for help?"

"I'm just asking a friend."

Li Li walked around him and went back to comfort Qing Lian who was anxious and crying.

In the city of chaos, there are many different races. Even under the moonlight, roars and curses can be heard one after another. Many crimes and mysteries are taking place in unknown dark corners.

Zhao Hui hurriedly swallowed the last bite of food, took out the magic device, sent a group message and attached a portrait.

"My fellow countrymen, find this man's whereabouts and report to me immediately. Do not alarm the target. There will be a reward if you succeed."

In an instant, the message screen flashed in response, and every corner of the City of Chaos began to move.

In the west of the city, a drunk staggered forward, chanting a chaotic tune.

At the corner, I suddenly collided with someone.

"Can't you see me, blind man?" the drunkard roared.

The person you bumped into raised his face, his eyes were so deep that they made your hair stand on end.

The drunk man was fearless. He glared back fiercely, "What are you looking at? If you look at me again, I'll dig out your eyes!"

The man breathed rapidly, suppressed his anger, restrained himself from conflicting with the other party, and left quietly.

The drunkard spat, "What bad luck!"

He continued to stagger forward, and the magic device sounded.

"Hello? Who is it?" he said vaguely.

"Brother Li, where are you? Are you drunk again?"

"I only drank a few sips, just a little."

"Stop drinking. Didn't you see the news about Brother Zhao?"

"What news?" The man opened his hazy eyes wide and opened the communication platform.

"Brother Zhao, please help me find someone. There will be a reward. The brothers have already taken action. You should go quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you about the incident by the river. Hello? Brother Li, are you listening?"

The man stared at the portrait, and his drunkenness instantly dissipated.

"The opportunity to make a fortune has come. Make a fortune." He quickly hung up the phone and sent a message to Zhao Hui.

"Got it. Thank you." Li Li hung up Zhao Hui's call and transferred some money to him.

It was almost midnight, and Fang Qizhi might contact Jiangbian at any time. Several law enforcers were debugging their magic equipment, ready to quickly lock on to Fang Qizhi's location when he made the call. The members of the law enforcement department had quietly sneaked into the Chaos City to investigate.

Li Li looked at Cheng Feng, "Five minutes ago, Fang Qizhi appeared near the grocery store in the west district of Chaos City."

Cheng Feng stared at her fiercely, "How did you know?"

Qing Lian and Li Dajun stood up in surprise. Why did Lili have this information?

"Someone saw it with their own eyes."...

Cheng Feng could not delay any longer and immediately called the Mysterious Affairs Bureau, "The suspect's trace appeared five minutes ago near the strange grocery store west of the Misty Village. Act immediately and be sure to hide. Do not alert the demon! Remember, do not alert it!"

"clear."

At exactly 10 o'clock in the evening, Fang Qizhi did not call, but only sent a magic message.

"At midnight, I will make a deal with you in the secret realm of the river. The ransom will be placed in the second spirit stone cave of Lanhai Hongqiao. Only you can enter. If the money is not there, you will bear the consequences! I say again, summoning magicians is prohibited!"

Cheng Feng's face turned pale, he had underestimated the cunning of Fang Qizhi. He was so clever, but with just a magic letter, they needed a mysterious secret realm to find his exact location, and now they didn't have much time left in the secret realm.

Lanhai Rainbow Bridge is the closest spiritual bridge to the Misty Village, but there are few buildings there and the view is unobstructed. In addition, it is already late at night and there are few people. Any unusual movement may trigger the kidnappers' sensitive perception, making it quite difficult to arrange.
