Chapter 150 The Martial Alliance's Prodigy
The scene of the Tan family murder case.
The area has been sealed off, and a large number of personnel are conducting investigations around it.
"Good heavens, the Tan and Zheng families are both famous families. To have them all wiped out at once is a huge deal." The investigators were under immense pressure.
"Although the higher-ups are trying their best to suppress the news, it will leak out sooner or later. And the deadline for us to solve the case is tight. Ugh, this is tough..."
A group of people were there sighing and complaining.
"No one is allowed to move, don't disturb the scene!" Suddenly, a group of people walked into the garden and shouted loudly.
"What the hell? Which department are they from? So arrogant!" the crowd complained.
"From now on, the Martial Alliance will take over the case of the Tan Zheng family's massacre. You only need to follow orders and assist." Someone pulled out his badge and said bluntly.
"What kind of martial arts alliance is this? They take over just like that and expect us to cooperate? What a big mouth they have!" The investigators got angry and were about to argue, but their leader stopped them.
"This is a very special department, with authority that surpasses all other departments, so be careful."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised and quickly cooperated with the operation.
After securing the scene, the Martial Alliance members did not begin an investigation but instead waited.
Not long after, two people came in from outside, and they immediately bowed and greeted them.
The visitors were an old man and a young man.
The old man was dressed in a long robe and had his hair tied up like a Taoist priest, giving him a somewhat otherworldly and ethereal air.
But he didn't walk in front; instead, he lagged slightly behind, as if following.
The people in that department were all taken aback when they saw the person in front of them.
She was a girl who looked to be in her early twenties, with a high ponytail, bright eyes, and white teeth.
Her face was small and extremely delicate, with features that gave off a sophisticated Chinese aesthetic, but also an air of indifference.
It is a strange beauty that combines a delicate, demure charm with an icy, aloof demeanor.
"Who is this... such a beautiful girl, and she seems to be of a very high level..."
"Keep your voice down, we can't afford to offend this kind of person."
Ignoring the discussion, the woman explored the yard.
She didn't do much herself; tasks like examining the corpses were done by the old man, and she just watched from the sidelines.
After the inspection is completed.
"Young Master, what are your thoughts?" the old man asked.
The woman remained expressionless as she surveyed the entire Tan family compound.
“A very clumsy frame-up,” she said calmly.
"The murderer wiped out the Tan and Zheng families, but deliberately left behind the corpses of several low-ranking Illuminati members to create the illusion of a massacre by the Illuminati."
“Low-rank Illuminators of the Illuminati do not act alone. Each operation is commanded by at least an A-rank Illuminator. Based on the battle traces at the scene, this massacre was carried out quickly and in two separate operations… The surveillance cameras here have been destroyed, and the footage only records up to before the incident…”
"The Tan family hired professional mercenaries. Among the corpses was an assassin named Bee Sting, ranked eighteenth on the international assassin ranking list. Anyone who could kill him in a short time must have reached the King level or higher."
The woman paused slightly, lost in thought.
"I have a theory: the Tan family head and the Zheng family head conspired to exterminate the families. The Illuminati, for some reason, came to wipe them out. Led by an S-rank Illuminator, they quickly eliminated the mercenaries the Illuminati had hired, even killing Bee Sting... Then, another force appeared and fought against the Illuminati. They were much stronger than the Illuminati and defeated them..."
"When cleaning up after the massacre, that force deliberately left a few corpses behind to frame the Illuminati."
The old man nodded approvingly after listening.
"The Three Young Masters Alliance's predictions have never been wrong, and this case will be solved soon."
"But what kind of force is that?"
The woman said calmly, "Look at who the Tan and Zheng families have recently made enemies with; they're probably related."
"Then how do we explain this to the outside world?" the old man asked again.
"The Illuminati committed mass murder and looting; the Martial Alliance will punish them," the woman said without hesitation.
The old man's expression revealed his understanding.
Regardless of whether the Illuminati did it or not, they have to take the blame.
The Martial Alliance can use this as an excuse to suppress the Illuminati's henchmen in Xia Kingdom.
"Three Young Masters Alliance, are you still investigating the murderer?" the old man asked.
"Investigate." The woman's gaze sharpened.
Even an S-rank Lightbringer's team was quickly wiped out; such a force is no small matter.
Moreover, the extermination of two families was a serious violation of the rules of martial arts, and how could she, who was upholding justice, let them go?
……
Inside the council hall of the Xiao family residence.
"The Tan family and the Zheng family were wiped out?" Xiao Yuanshan sat in his chair, his brows furrowing deeply upon hearing the news.
"They were wiped out overnight. The Imperial Capital Martial Alliance headquarters sent a special envoy to investigate, saying it was the Illuminati who did it," the subordinate said.
Xiao Yuanshan frowned even more deeply.
The Tan and Zheng families had just become enemies with the Xiao family, and Xiao Yuanshan had also made some harsh threats. As a result, both families were wiped out that very night...
Moreover, it was the Bright Society, which had a grudge against the Xiao family, that did it.
That sounds creepy.
"It's highly likely that the Illuminati wanted to destroy the Tan and Zheng families and then frame us, but the Martial Alliance saw through their plan," Xiao Yuanshan said.
"Who is the Martial Alliance's special envoy?" he asked.
"The three young masters of the Martial Alliance and the elders in charge."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan's gaze sharpened.
"Dongfang Ruyi of the Third Young Master Alliance! That prodigy, a true prodigy!"
The Xiao family members all looked surprised.
“This woman is as cunning as a demon. If she comes to investigate this case, I’m afraid my Xiao family will be exploited.” Xiao Yuanshan’s face darkened.
"Go and call Xiao Chen here."
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Chen arrived at the council hall.
"Xiao Chen, something's happened. The Tan and Zheng families have been wiped out. The Martial Alliance's top talents have come to Jiang City to investigate. You're highly suspicious. Stay with the family these next two days and don't go out," Xiao Yuanshan solemnly instructed.
"Dongfang Ruyi, the third young leader of the Martial Alliance, is extremely talented and may be even stronger than you. Try to avoid contact with her, or she might dig up all your secrets!"
"Oh?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.
He was curious to see what kind of genius Xiao Yuanshan was so wary of.
The Junior Alliance Leader of the Martial Alliance is actually a candidate for the Alliance Leader.
As far as Xiao Chen knew, the Martial Alliance had five junior alliances, each of whom was extremely outstanding and was known as a top genius.
These five people are in competition, and the one who wins in the end will inherit the position of the next leader of the alliance.
Of course, given his level of expertise, he wouldn't delve into the details; he only knew that one of them was a woman with a prominent reputation.
"The people from the Martial Alliance shouldn't have a hard time figuring it out," Xiao Chen pondered.
It wasn't designed at all; their frame-up was full of loopholes from the start.
Because Xiao Chen understood the Martial Alliance's methods.
He knew that even if the Martial Alliance envoy saw through it, he would still announce to the outside world that the Illuminati was responsible for the crime.
Even if he is found out, he has nothing to worry about.
At worst, I can send someone to the Martial Alliance headquarters myself.
It has been investigated long ago that the Tan and Zheng families have committed enough dishonorable acts to destroy them, and the Underworld Palace is just in time to act on behalf of Heaven.
"Xiao Chen, you must remember this: you are not allowed to go out for the next two days." Xiao Yuanshan pretended to be angry when he saw that Xiao Chen was indifferent.
"The Martial Alliance's special envoy is investigating a case. Members of the Xiao family, come out and greet him immediately!" A loud shout suddenly rang out.
"Just what we feared has come to pass!" The Xiao family members' faces darkened.
