Chapter 55 Foreign Combat Personnel
Li Yi slowly woke up from his coma.

He felt pain all over his body and wanted to move, but found that he was wrapped in medical bandages all over his body, with plaster on several parts of his body. Even his head was bandaged in a large circle. He looked like a mummy. In addition, there were several bottles of medicine hanging next to him. These medicines were continuously injected into his body to relieve his symptoms.

"Is this a hospital?"

Li Yi remembered at this time that he fought with Ning Wu to the end last night. Later, the people from the Investigation Bureau came and he was sent to the ambulance. However, he had fallen asleep in the ambulance. As for what happened afterwards, he had no idea.

"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a voice sounded. A man who was missing an arm was leaning on the hospital bed next to him, looking at him with interest.

"Your name is Li Yi, right? I've heard about your case. You killed eight people with your bare hands. Even a cultivator at the spiritual realm almost died in your hands. That's not bad."

Li Yi couldn't get up. He just turned his head and looked over: "Who are you? Are you from the Investigation Bureau?"

"My name is He Xiong. I'm a cultivator. Like you, I was injured and sent to the hospital for treatment. Last night I heard from others that a fierce man was sent here and killed eight cultivators in one night. So I was curious and wanted to meet you."

The patient who called himself He Xiong smiled and said, "I'm very curious. You are so young and your cultivation is not very high. How did you manage to kill seven people in a row? I've heard of Ning Wu. She is often active in the abandoned city area. She is not the kind of rookie who buries herself in cultivation. She has mastered a beast breathing method that can greatly improve her strength in a short period of time. Other practitioners can only be bullied by her. It is impossible for someone to be like you, who is one realm behind, to defeat the strong and take away one of her legs."

"I don't want to tell you the reason." Li Yi glanced and was unwilling to say more.

He Xiong touched his broken arm and said, "I know what's going on. You have mastered a very powerful boxing technique."

"Since you know, why are you asking?" Li Yi said, "Why, are you interested in my boxing?"

"Haha, I am somewhat interested, but I am more curious about another piece of gossip I heard." He Xiong suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Ning Wu said that you have a strange item on you. Is this true?"

"It's true. I have a rare item." Li Yi said casually, "I'll take it out and show it to you now. It's very big. Do you want to see it?"

"Forget it, I won't look at it. I also have the rare item you mentioned." He Xiong said with a smile: "But Ning Wu's words have a great impact on you."

Li Yi's expression slightly changed. "No matter how stupid a lie is, it can still deceive people. Who doesn't know how valuable a rare item is? Even if there is a 99% chance that the news is false, there will still be people willing to take a chance. But she suspected that I had a rare item, but I suspected that she had a rare item."

"Oh, what did you mean?" He Xiong suddenly became curious.

Li Yi began to make up a story. He said, "A month ago, Ning Wu and a cultivator named Lao Ya entered the abandoned city area. They found an old tomb that did not belong to our world in an abandoned building in the abandoned city area. They suspected that there were strange things in the old tomb, so they kept recruiting ordinary people in the old city area to explore the abandoned building for them and look for treasures."

“And I am one of them.”

He Xiong's eyes flickered. "It is true that this happened. Nearly 20 people are missing because of this. If there is no clear evidence, Ning Wu and Lao Ya would definitely be executed."

"There were five of us in the last group, and three of them survived. I did get something from inside, but I was just an ordinary person at the time, and I didn't know what it was, so I gave it to Old Crow. One month later, that is, yesterday, Ning Wu suddenly brought people to my house to kill me."

Li Yi couldn't help laughing when he said this: "What do you think is the reason?"

"Murder to silence the witness?" He Xiong's expression changed slightly.

"This is the reason I just thought of. Otherwise, I really can't figure out why Ning Wu would be so reckless and regardless of cost to kill people in the old city." Li Yi successfully made up a lie, a story, to make the whole thing make sense.

Only in this way can he conceal the fact that he possesses a rare object.

Li Yi continued, "There were three people who survived, Wang Hu, Wei Li, and me. If you want to confirm the truth of this matter, it's best to find the other two people. But I think Wang Hu and Wei Li are either dead or missing."

He was very sure in his heart that Wang Hu and Wei Li would never be found.

They both took things from the ancient tomb, and no matter what those things were, neither of them would hand them over.

He Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, and then said: "In fact, before you woke up, we had already investigated Wang Hu and Wei Li. Wang Hu is currently missing and his whereabouts are unknown, and Wei Li left Tianchang City a month ago. Now there is no news at all. So far, only you are confirmed to be alive, so your guess makes sense. Ning Wu and his gang may really want to kill people to silence them."

"Do you know Kong Sheng?"

"He's a friend of my friend. He was the one who tipped me off, otherwise I'd be dead." Li Yi was now able to confirm that this man named He Xiong was not a fellow patient at all, but a member of the Investigation Bureau. He probably wanted to take the opportunity to trick him into talking.

But now he didn't seem to want to keep pretending.

He Xiong said: "When Kong Sheng received this mission, he didn't know the content of the mission. He only knew that he had to kill someone. I believe the same is true for other people who received the mission. Ning Wu concealed your intelligence information from all of them, so everything can be explained."

"After all, this involves a rare item, so Ning Wu is right to be so cautious."

Li Yi said: "All this is just my guess. Maybe there is another possibility, that is, Ning Wu thinks that my cultivation is too fast and abnormal, and thinks that I really have a rare item in my hand, so she attacked me."

"Yes, it is possible. It is indeed incredible to open the psychic in a month. But it is not surprising that you had an adventure in the dangerous zone. You also acquired that boxing skill in the dangerous zone." He Xiong said. It was obvious that he had investigated Li Yi's information very clearly.

"Whether it's related to a rare object or just a misunderstanding, it depends on how the Investigation Bureau closes the case." Li Yi said.

At this moment, the door of the ward slammed open.

Investigator Wang Jian strode in at this moment and asked directly, "Lao He, how is the interrogation going? Are the results out?"

He Xiong smiled and said, "I already know the situation. Ning Wu and Lao Ya and his gang thought that Li Yi's cultivation was too fast and guessed that he had something special, so they organized and planned this attack. But the actual situation is that he had a strange encounter in the danger zone, which opened his psychic medium and also acquired a boxing technique, so he had the strength to kill Ning Wu and others."

"Let's just close the case. The captain doesn't want to make a big deal out of this. After all, he's been busy enough lately."

"That's fine." Wang Jian then looked at Li Yi and asked, "Did you kill the wanted criminal Wang Kui?"

"Not sure." Li Yi said.

"You were the one who killed him. Only you could have punched him like that. Kong Sheng doesn't have the ability to kill this wanted criminal." Wang Jian said, "But we investigators don't care who takes Wang Kui's bounty. We want to get back the sniper rifle. It's very dangerous. I hope you can cooperate with us."

Li Yi said: "I have never seen that sniper rifle."

Wang Jian stared at him and said, "You must know. I saw the situation at the scene. Wang Kui met you at that time and fired a gun. The gun didn't hit you, but hit the wall. Then you killed him. So you were the last person to see the gun. I know what you were thinking. Kill Wang Kui, hide the gun, and keep it for yourself after the incident."

"If it were me, I would do the same. After all, it's not against the law. If you're really unlucky and get found by our investigators, you can deny it completely. If we don't find you, you'll have made a profit for nothing."

Li Yi remained silent. Wang Jian continued, "The model of that gun is called the Super M200. It was developed to deal with super creatures and powerful practitioners. Do you know why that gun is so powerful?"

"Forget it, Wang Jian, let me explain, because the bullets are specially made." He Xiong said seriously, "Only we are qualified to apply for that kind of bullet, which is not available on the market. Wang Kui's gun was snatched after he killed an investigator, and an investigator is only allowed to apply for ten of these special bullets during a mission. How many bullets do you think are left in that gun now?"

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly at this moment: "Why should I cooperate with you to find the sniper rifle? The credit is for you, not me."

"Haha, you are such a cunning boy. Now you are asking us for benefits?" He Xiong suddenly laughed.

Wang Jian on the side also smiled slightly.

It's a good thing if you're willing to give in.

"I still have a quota for foreign combat personnel, and I can give it to you." Wang Jian said.

"Foreign combat personnel? What is that?" Li Yi asked.

Wang Jian said: "Outside combat personnel are practitioners hired by the Investigation Bureau. They are responsible for carrying out missions with investigators. Of course, they are paid."

"Isn't that a temporary job? I'm not interested. Besides, I have parents at home to take care of, and I also need to practice. I don't have time to go out on missions." Li Yi shook his head.

Wang Jian continued to raise the stakes: "How about this, in addition to the quota for foreign combat personnel, I will help you handle this case as soon as possible and try to get you home as soon as possible. In addition, I can also apply for Wang Kui's bounty to be paid to you immediately. How about it? This is already the highest condition I can offer."

Li Yi is thinking.

He was not interested in other conditions; he cared more about whether he could return home as soon as possible.

I can't stay in the Investigation Bureau for a long time.

"How long will it take for me to go back?" Li Yi asked again.

"If I were to handle it, it would take no more than ten days." Wang Jian said, "After all, you are also a victim."

Li Yi did not refuse after hearing this, and said directly: "Since you helped me last time, Wang Jian, I agree to you, but Kong Sheng is my friend, I hope he will be okay too."

"No problem." Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

The terms were agreed upon.

"After I killed Wang Kui, I seemed to see him hide the gun in the chimney on the third floor of Building No. 1 in the opposite community." Li Yi said.

"So that's how it is. That Wang Kui was really despicable. He didn't forget to hide his gun even after his death." Wang Jian said with a smile.

He Xiong looked at Li Yi with a strange expression. No wonder he couldn’t find the thing.

You actually went around in a big circle and put the things in the community opposite.

What a cunning guy.

"Thank you for your cooperation. You should have a good rest. We have to deal with some other things first." Wang Jian planned to take action immediately.

He Xiong stopped pretending to be a patient and took off his hospital gown.

The two people immediately left the ward and headed straight for the address Li Yi mentioned.

On the road.

He Xiong lowered his voice and said, "Wang Jian, there may be some problems between Ning Wu and Li Yi, and it may be related to the strange object. Do you want to continue investigating?"

"This matter has nothing to do with us. Report it to the captain and let him handle it. It is not something we can interfere with regarding rare objects. Besides, let Li Yi become a foreign combatant so that we will have an extra good helper in the future." Wang Jian's face was calm and he was unmoved.

"This kid is very strong and is indeed worthy of cultivation." He Xiong nodded and said, "But the captain really cares about you and sends you such a good seedling."

"It's fate. I've met Li Yi several times. The reason he was willing to talk about it this time was because I helped him in the abandoned city last time. Otherwise, he would have refused to talk about it and no one would have been able to do anything to him. You heard it too. Even at the end, he didn't admit that he was the one who took the gun." Wang Jian said.

"Haha, I wasn't as smart as him when I was the same age as him." He Xiong laughed.

The two people soon arrived at their destination.

Look up.

There is indeed an external smoke pipe on the third floor of the old residential building in front.

There are many such pipes in the old city.

Wang Jianshe immediately searched along the pipe, and soon he found the special model of sniper rifle in a pipe.

"We found it. We can report it to Captain Lei now. Li Yi is really careful. He wrapped it in newspaper so that no fingerprints were left. He is a man of great skill. It's true that Ning Wu and his gang deserved to be defeated by Li Yi."

"Then you have to take better care of this young man in the future. You may even have to ask him for help in a few years." He Xiong said.

"You never know, there might really be such a day. Li Yi is a pretty loyal guy. He remembered to help Kong Sheng escape in the end, just because Kong Sheng tipped him off in advance. If it were someone else, they would insist that Kong Sheng was the murderer at this time, and Kong Sheng would never be able to turn over a new leaf in his life." Wang Jian said.

He Xiong suddenly asked, "Wang Jian, do you think Li Yi has any rare items? The captain doesn't care about this at all?"

Wang Jian suddenly laughed and said, "Because Li Yi is about to join the Investigation Bureau, if he has a rare item, it means that our Investigation Bureau has a rare item. It doesn't matter who has it. Otherwise, why do you think the captain ordered me to recruit Li Yi? Of course, even if Li Yi doesn't have a rare item, he is still a talent, and it's not a loss to recruit him."

"Haha, so that's how it is. The captain is really good at doing things." He Xiong said with a smile.

The two men completed the task while talking and then drove away quickly.
