they have to consider the child."It's not appropriate for you all to be involved in this, so we had to ask the Zhao family to step in. Mother said she'd already persuaded Lianyi, which is why I broug...Feng and Xiazhang sat down, watching Lianyi gracefully making tea. Neither of them spoke to disturb the other until two cups of tea were pushed to their faces, at which point they began to speak.

"Master Wu, we've been investigating the Villa Case for half a month now, and we're starting to get some leads. However, of the thirteen victims, we still can't confirm the identities of three people."

Because the victim was confined within the walls, and the longest time exceeded ten years, some evidence was destroyed. We did not find any traces left by the perpetrator.

Xia Zhang spoke first.

Have you checked who the owner of the villa is

"I checked, it's someone named Li Si. He doesn't look like the real owner at all."

Little Zhang was also helpless.

Now he understands why that evil spirit was so cruel. If he were in its place, he estimated he would also turn dark.

"The thirteen skeletons were all female. They were buried naked inside concrete walls, making it impossible to determine if they had been sexually assaulted before death. However, their bones all showed signs of fractures, indicating they had endured beatings and abuse prior to their deaths. The forensic examiner determined that all thirteen individuals were murdered through torture, classifying the perpetrator as a serial killer with deviant tendencies."

Xiao Zhang directly stated the forensic doctor's judgment.

"At this time, we have no leads on the perpetrator."

Feng Chong said in a deep voice.

Liàn Yī took a sip of tea, and through the heat rising from the cup, she glanced at the two people before her. Only then did she speak:

What do you want me to do

Can Master Wu give us some clues

"As a mage, I cannot interfere with your investigation, you should be aware of that."

"Master Wu, please rest assured, we won't make things difficult for you. We don't need you to directly confront the murderer, just a little clue so we can continue our investigation."

Feng Feng's tone was very sincere.

Because it involved thirteen young girls and the case had been dormant for ten years, the bureau didn't want the perpetrator to go unpunished. They allowed them to seek all possible assistance, which is why they came to Master Wu today.

"I remember among those who broke the seal, there was one who went insane. Where is that person now"

"Her name is Ma Yan. After expert evaluation, she was indeed insane, and has been sent to a psychiatric hospital."

Xiao Zhang immediately said.

She might have clues, I can extract her memories from that night. You'll need to find someone with a strong psychological endurance to handle it.

After much hesitation, Lian Yi finally spoke.

"Why"

"Because this person empathized with Ma Yan's experience, she was scared out of her wits. What do you think"

Ripples smiled and asked back, without a hint of impatience.

Xia Zhang swallowed nervously, feeling that it would be better for the team leader to choose this person. He didn't think he could meet Master Wu's requirements.

"Okay, we'll go prepare now. Xiao Zhang will pick up Master Wu tomorrow."

Feng Feng was very decisive. Since people had already given him a solution, he was going to take action.

After the two left, the red ribbon in Lian Yi's hair suddenly quivered, warning her.

Ripples raised an eyebrow, she didn't expect anyone to be following the police. However, whatever could make the evil artifact sound the alarm must be related to a spirit.

Ripples stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, watching Fengfeng and Xiaozhang drive away. Then she took out the evil weapon dagger from her space, drew the blade, and a black light escaped from the dagger, instantly disappearing into the villa.

Half an hour later, the black light that had grown larger returned to the ripples' dagger, while inside a black car parked outside the villa area, a one-eyed man was howling with his other eye bleeding, this time he was completely blind.

"Let's drive!"

The man painfully commanded.

The young man behind the wheel saw through his rearview mirror that the man in the back seat was in a state of distress. His face paled immediately, and he slammed the car into gear, pressing down on the accelerator. The vehicle shot forward like an arrow, leaving its original position far behind.

"Dad, hold on!"

After this little interlude, the sea-view villas where Ripples lived returned to their usual tranquility.

The next day, Xiao Zhang came to pick up Liàn Yī early in the morning and drove him silently all the way to the police station.

The arrival of the ripples drew a crowd from the project team. They had seen mages before, and even worked with many, but they had never seen a mage like Ripples, so young yet so powerful.

The sight of those thirteen skeletons still haunts them to this day. Some were there in person, some saw the photos, and others heard descriptions from their predecessors. Whatever the case, Wu Lianyi is now an image of strength in their minds.

Lily wore a white Roman dress today, and her headband was the same color. She looked youthful and beautiful, not at all inferior to a movie star.

Master Wu, this way please.

Lin was asked to go to the team leader's office. She saw Feng and another unfamiliar face there.

"Thank you, Master Wu, for your support."

Feng uttered a polite remark before beginning to introduce the two.

This is Master Wu Lianyi.

"This is Wu Yong from our project team. He retired from the Special Forces and joined our city bureau afterwards. His mental fortitude is absolutely top-notch, he can meet Master Wu's requirements."

Ripples glanced at the man who had stood up. He was not over 1.8 meters tall, with well-developed muscles under his clothes, dark skin, sharp features. Individually, his facial features were quite striking, but when put together, they seemed very ordinary. Only his eyes were too sharp, hiding a distrust of Ripples within them.

"Hello, I am Wu Yong."

"Hello, Wu Lianyi, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."

Lian Yi chuckled softly and nodded, then looked towards Feng Feng, indicating that they could begin.

The group leader liked this straightforward person and immediately took him to the pre-prepared meeting room.

Inside, someone was already waiting. It was Ma Yan in a restraining garment, her eyes filled with panic, constantly twisting her body. If her shoulders weren't held down tightly, she would have jumped up long ago.

Ripple glanced at Ma Yan, whose hair was tousled and spirit seemed a little dazed. He let Wu Yong sit opposite Ma Yan, but Ma Yan struggled even harder, seeming to fear Wu Yong very much.

Ripples saw the two big men almost unable to hold each other back, so she raised her hand and used her Xuan energy to draw a talisman, then waved it into Ma Yan's body. The opponent instantly stopped struggling, but only stared at the man in front of him with terrified eyes.

"Let's get started."

Lin Ri first nodded to Wu Yong, then untied her white hairband. One end was tied around Wu Yong's wrist, and the other around Ma Yan's neck. Then, she used green mystical energy to draw a formation and slapped it directly under their feet.

The formation flickered twice, then emitted waves of golden light. The sashes on both people's bodies changed from white to crimson. Both of them trembled, then opened their eyes wide, looking at each other.

Wǔ Yǒng tried to stand up, but the formation beneath his feet kept him rooted in place.

Ripples walked up to him from behind, gently patted Wu Yong's shoulder, and whispered:

"Behave yourself, and I'll seal away those dreadful memories for you. Prison is better than spending a lifetime in a mental institution, right"h of goods consists of physique-enhancing agents and breakthrough potions that have already begun nationwide sales. Of course, there are also some other goods, each placed in the spatial waistbands of...
