I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 684 - 276: The Nun Strikes Again

The Descending Corps, this was the first time Li Xin had heard of it, and it sounded quite intimidating, though the old church was indeed very deep.Not allowing the angel to approach was to prevent the angel from perceiving his affairs with the woman. After all, most men would be uncomfortable having someone watching during such moments, unless it’s a special fetish. Of course, for someone like Hong Yan, who could disregard safety, this woman must have captivated him extremely.

Li Moqian was puzzled why Bai Zhongdong showed such respect toward a Night Patrol captain.

As the head of the Law Enforcement Court, he was only under a few people, so it was rare for anyone to show him kindness. Coincidentally, Kathy the secretary had only one brother and had placed him in the grueling training of the Night Patrol.

"Thank you, Lord Bai, for explaining. This woman is crucial," Li Xin said.

Hong Xin laughed angrily, "Isn’t that obvious? The problem is this woman vanished without a trace; if she’s a puppet, where would we find her?"

Li Xin remained unfazed, "Lord Hong, this woman cannot be a puppet. With Lord Hong Yan’s ability and vision, how could he be obsessed with a puppet? I boldly speculate that this woman is a seductive woman and possesses remarkable cultivation on the seductive woman’s path."

Bai Zhongdong and Li Moqian exchanged a glance, both slightly surprised. Hearing this, Hong Xin’s expression improved slightly, and he sighed, "My younger brother wasn’t interested in women before. We never worried about this aspect. This woman appeared suddenly, initially causing some suspicion, but it seemed the pressure from the upcoming election was the cause. We’ve always thought my younger brother had excellent control in this area."

Since the Matthew case, Li Xin never underestimated the power of seductive women. Their magic isn’t about sensual allure but about directly targeting the emotional and spiritual void, making someone unknowingly fall and willingly do anything for the other.

"The Song of Hell has a singer nicknamed Nun, who possesses great strength. I’ve heard multiple singers of the Song of Hell have arrived in Dragon City, it’s highly likely Nun is among them. If she has the power of an angel, I wonder if Lord Hong Yan can withstand it."

"Captain Li, the seductive woman’s path is among the most difficult in rejuvenation, making it very potent. Even a rare captivating angel may fall, not to mention a seductive woman with Four Lives. They’re extremely dangerous, though using their power requires time and opportunity," Li Moqian said.

Bai Zhongdong nodded, "So what situation and conditions allowed this woman to meet Hong Yan? Following this clue should uncover something."

Everyone looked at Hong Xin, who stayed silent for a while, "He met this woman at the Dragon Fortune Association, a widow who immigrated from Moncalleta. I’ve already sent people."

Another widow... if not for the presence of two angels, Li Xin would have immediately used dice to judge it. Old men seem to have a special preference for charming widows.

"High probability nothing will be found; people around that woman are likely puppets." Although only Beijing people can join the Dragon Fortune Association, some exceptional individuals are allowed entry, often special women. Ordinary women wouldn’t catch Hong Yan’s eye. He thought he was the hunter, but became the prey.

The Song of Hell is meticulous in its work. If it were a Li Long person, it would be easy to investigate. With the Hong family’s caution, it would be hard to conceal well. Mainly, a beauty like this wouldn’t appear out of thin air, but someone from Moncalleta makes it easier. That place is rich in beauties with exotic charm, and when under great pressure, few can resist.

"The Song of Hell is a travel group that takes money to operate. They wouldn’t target Hong Yan without reason; deploying so many singers means someone paid a hefty price," Bai Zhongdong said.

"Naturally someone did!" Hong Xin said with gritted teeth.

Whether or not it’s the Nalan Family, they can’t escape responsibility. Currently, the suspicion heavily leans towards the Nalan Family.

As long as Nalan Jingguo is elected, there will be great scholars to debate on his behalf, the process and means aren’t important.

"Can we see the victim’s condition?" Li Xin asked, noticing many suspicions. Seductive women are not naturally skilled in combat, so how did one defeat a seasoned knight suddenly? This method could be a clue.

Hong Xin waved his hand, "There’s no need for Captain Li to worry about this."

Hong Yan was the face of the Hong Family; revealing his current state would be unthinkable, let alone an autopsy.

Li Xin did not insist; he held no authority here, "Recently while investigating the victims of Xiaobo, two were students at the Divine Revelation Canon Law School, and they also had incidents post-contact with the Dragon Fortune Association."

"Lord Bai, Lord Li, there’s a significant issue with the Dragon Fortune Association. I suggest a thorough investigation!" Hong Xin said solemnly.

Bai Zhongdong and Li Moqian didn’t respond, because the Dragon Fortune Association’s background is too deep; it’s not something easily investigated, and it seems the Hong Family wants to handle it themselves.

The rest involved the discussions of three people, and Li Xin was merely an observer, grateful not to be dismissed. His interest wasn’t in Hong Yan’s death but its direct connection to Xiaobo, suggesting Xiaobo was prepared for Hong Yan.

Song of Hell always acts by looking ahead, strategically planting setups. They seemingly work for money but their real motives aren’t always this.

Moving against the Dragon Fortune Association requires more definitive evidence, which naturally the Hong Family must provide, otherwise Li Moqian and Bai Zhongdong cannot explain.

Everyone left the Hong Family villa, while Long Ji and others anxiously waited outside, only relaxing upon seeing Bai Zhongdong and Li Xin emerge together.

"Captain Li, Night Patrol may be invited for further cooperation in this case. If encountering any difficulties, feel free to reach out to me," Bai Zhongdong said.

After speaking, Bai Zhongdong boarded a carriage alongside Law Enforcement Court personnel. His presence signified intent but didn’t mean he would continuously follow the case.

"Li Captain, what’s the situation?" Qin Donglai asked curiously, feeling a deep itch of interest, as even they shared a penchant for gossip, especially regarding such major matters.

"Let’s discuss it back home." Clearly, this wasn’t the place for extended conversation.

On the carriage, Li Xin remained silent, having dealt previously with the Song of Hell. He increasingly felt Song of Hell wouldn’t act just for profit; organizations with such reach and skill have much grander ambitions, yet what is it this time, and how much is it connected to Dragon City’s doom prophecy?

The dice silently adjudicated: the woman with Hong Yan is the singer Nun of Song of Hell.

The dice made an effective judgment: nine points.

It’s good they arrived!

This matter must be communicated to Sister Kathy, for though the Celestial Capital disaster was Matthew’s arrangement, Nun’s culpability was substantial!

On the carriage, Long Ji and Hong Ye remained silent, patiently awaiting Li Xin to finish his thoughts before hearing about what had transpired.

Long Ji and Hong Ye aren’t unsettled by it; they feel little connection to Hong Yan’s death but have interest in its linkage to Xiaobo’s case.

"The truth is gradually emerging; Song of Hell and Dragon Fortune Association are key. Is it possible the slave master is a Dragon Fortune Association member?" Hong Ye asked.

"Highly possible, perhaps even a Dragon Fortune Association senior."

"Dragon Fortune Association is led by the Ji Family, composed around principal Beijing family interests; the Hong Family is one of the major factions."

"Who indeed hired killers? To orchestrate such efforts requires immense resources, likely the Nalan Family; only the Potter Family has the financial muscle to support this, and only the Nalan Family would reap the greatest rewards," Long Ji said.

Nalan Jingguo and Hong Yan’s election rivalry was tied, recently marked by mutual media attacks and continual internal deals. Whoever is elected as Grand Governor will undoubtedly profit exponentially in the coming decade, rendering all means justified.

Yet such rules-breaking actions will not go unchallenged by the Hong Family.

The upper-echelon struggles are perpetually fierce, but it’s not something Night Patrol can intervene in.

The trio did not continue discussing these, as the carriage made its way back to the city. Without official orders, Night Patrol would not probe further into these matters, nor could Xiaobo’s case help but wait for developments.

Returning to the city it was already noon, all of Dragon City had become locked down, permitting entry but barring exit, although this scarcely affects powerful covert operations. Inside, the city could be compared to boiling chaos as everyone gossiped about Hong Yan’s demise, pushing the Nalan Family into the spotlight.

Hong Ban led Hong Family members to smash the Nalan Family’s gates, loudly cursing outside. None of the Nalan Family came out, absent intervention, Hong Ban would likely have set fire to the Nalan Family.
