C18

It was already afternoon when they returned to the Public Security Office. Zhou Lin and the others had not had their lunch yet.

While they were eating lunch, Little Nguyen's cell phone rang. It was Captain Zhang who was looking for him. Captain Zhang asked them to write a detailed report to him as soon as they returned.

Seeing Little Ruan's attitude and hearing of his words, Zhou Lin finally understood. It seemed that the case they solved yesterday was more important than meritorious service. It seemed like this superpower case had attracted the attention of the media, making things difficult for them.

Even though he couldn't get anything out of it, Zhou Lin was still happy. At least they had solved the case, which gave him a sense of accomplishment and happiness. However, he would have to work hard to improve his Discipline. That way, he would be able to grow stronger and free from any constraints.

That night, he began to search the Internet for information on gravity. He wanted to know what Luo Fa's superpower was all about. If not, he would be in danger the next time he encountered an opponent like this.

However, he found that humans apparently recognized gravity, but did not have a proper explanation for it. Online, too, there were debates about relativity and quantum mechanics. If, according to the theory of relativity, it does not exist, it is only a four-dimensional twist in space, but according to quantum mechanics it exists as an unknown particle called a graviton, which currently has no proof of its existence.

Therefore, gravity could be understood as an unknown dark energy. Luo Fa was able to control it through his spiritual energy, making him a terrifying superpower.

To deal with such adepts, one had to be wary of them using gravity to throw you off your feet, or using gravity to make you unable to stand up and hit you with a heavy object. At the same time, his escaping ability was also very strong, allowing him to leap over high obstructions at any time. He could even run up the stairs as if he was running on flat ground.

But no matter what he did, he had to rely on gravity, unlike Zhou Lin, who could turn the movement of the particles instantly into heat. He had to match the gravitational force in order for him to have the power to kill.

Inside their office, while Xiao Nuan was studying the terrifying detailed report, Captain Zhang suddenly appeared again and praised them for their performance yesterday. At the same time, he reminded Xiao Nuan that there was no need to write that report.

Zhou Lin could understand that the reason for Captain Zhang's sudden change was not because of him, but because of his superior's "instruction." The superior must have been upset that the case had attracted the attention of the media, so Captain Zhang asked them to write the report. But after confirming that they had done a big case, Captain Zhang naturally came over to congratulate them after giving his praise.

Everything depended on the superior, and the superior still depended on the superior. If the superior had a different way of thinking, then the following changes would be huge. In short, his efforts of the past two days had been acknowledged, and Zhou Lin was very happy because he had proven his ability here.

So that night he began to look at other cases, for one success was accidental, and to consolidate his position he had to have more success.

This time, the two colleagues also came over to help. They had discovered Bao, and knew that Zhou Lin was truly a capable person. If they stayed by his side like this, it would be easier for them to talk about their merits later. Because in the investigation team, promotions have a lot to do with merit.

However, these two fellows really weren't working. The only thing that they could help Zhou Lin was to pass him a cigarette. Moreover, they slept late at night, so their snores were as loud as thunder.

Zhou Lin ignored them and went back to his dorm. He still remembered that Captain Zhang told him that he didn't take a bath last time because image was very important. In any case, this was something that he could never finish by himself.

The next day, just when he had some clues and was ready to say hello to Captain Zhang to study the next case, Captain Zhang actually said hello to him in advance. There was a case that just happened that needed his help to deal with, and this case was at the provincial capital.

The provincial government's case naturally had a huge impact, and Zhou Lin could tell from Captain Zhang's good attitude and meticulous instructions that Captain Zhang really hoped that he could solve a few more cases, allowing him to make a meritorious contribution.

Who wouldn't want to gain merits? Not only did this make their career smooth, their face would also brighten up. No one liked to be called trash. This was also good. Zhou Lin also hoped that Captain Zhang would support him. In any case, the more valuable he was, the more likely he would stay here.

However, after receiving the relevant information on this case, Zhou Lin was also annoyed, because the situation here was rather complicated. First is the number of people killed, about a dozen or so people, some of whom are not sure if there is a connection.

In fact, some of them committed suicide, some of them died suddenly without any injuries. They all died in a very strange way, because it was obvious that those who committed suicide were normally optimistic people, and those who died suddenly would be healthy before dying.

The reason why the same case was established was that the place where the victims had been killed was very concentrated, and at the same time they all came from a large family.

It was also because that district had already caused panic among the residents and had a huge impact on social order, so this case had to be dealt with first. There was no other way. The Public Security Office was not in charge of what to do now. The influence of society was in charge.

Captain Zhang also told him that if he needed anything, he would support him. Zhou Lin also did not tell him that there was no need, and only told him that sometimes he would be told.

Then Zhou Lin returned to his office, pushed the case file aside, and began to study the new case. At this time, his two colleagues went over to him listlessly and told him about yesterday's situation, but they did not complain that Zhou Lin had left them behind. Instead, they asked Zhou Lin to forgive them for sleeping yesterday.

Zhou Lin did not waste any time with them and immediately opened up the data and began studying it. These victims could be said to be from a big family. There were officials, big bosses, and people from different departments within the family. It could be said that one person could ascend to the heavens, and their entire family could ascend to the heavens.

Thus, in order to find out who had offended someone and recruit such a member, they would have to slowly investigate. However, this case had been investigated thoroughly by the Public Security Bureau, and there were a few suspects in it.

One of them was the head of an official who had been indicted more than a year ago. The man who had accused him had been convicted of slander, but he was still in prison and had heard that he was mentally ill.

In addition, as the head of the family, the big boss was also the brother-in-law of an official. He had offended a lot of people in the business world, but none of them would have a deep grudge against him.

Then there were those who worked in government departments or were the bosses of their second generation. They had many contradictions and problems, but there was no deep hatred between them. They would not want their entire family to be exterminated.

There was no sign of him. Zhou Lin looked at the way they were all killed. The official was the last to jump off a building. The official's wife hanged herself. The big boss died suddenly in a hotel …

The medical examiner was also unable to determine if this big boss had died or if there were any fatal factors in his body. All he knew now was that his internal organs had been damaged, but there were no signs of poisoning.

From the looks of it, it didn't seem to have much to do with superpower. However, as he continued to look at the pictures, Zhou Lin found that it wasn't that simple either. Because in some of the second-generation photographs, the deaths of individuals were horrific, and the medical examiner suspected that they had been scared to death.

Although there were people who were scared to death in movies, it was not easy to scare someone to death unless he had a heart attack. But these people are all healthy and do not have hidden diseases.

According to the customs of the people, they would naturally believe that it was caused by a supernatural object. If there was anything that could not be explained, it would all be attributed to the supernatural. What Zhou Lin was considering was whether there were any special abilities that could kill these people.

This was another challenge. As Zhou Lin was worrying about how to solve this case, his interest was piqued. There weren't that many coincidences in the world, this was clearly a family feud and murder. He had to first have a thorough understanding of this family before he knew the truth.

However, the background of the family could not be verified. There was only one sentence. This official's father was the first to be investigated, so the only thing he could do now was to investigate from the perspective of these two 'Patriarchs'.
