Chapter 7: Bandits and Experts

  The big army and its little brother Hook are now wandering aimlessly in the suburbs like a dog without a home. These two guys were quite powerful this morning, they actually stormed into a bank in the downtown area with guns and robbed it, killing a security guard in the process.

  After succeeding, the two armed robbers immediately fled in a small car that had been prepared in advance, and they were gone before other pedestrians could react.

  Originally, according to plan, they could have escaped the area of Lushan City before the police reacted. As long as their car got on the highway, it would be difficult for the police to track their whereabouts.

  Although the two men's plan was very meticulous and the initial stage went smoothly, but man proposes and God disposes. Just as they were driving their car near the outskirts of the city, it suddenly broke down. This scared the two guys who were excited about the robbery and also highly tense.

  Because they were considering safety and secrecy, they chose a road with few vehicles as their escape route. As a result, after the car broke down, there was no way to rush another car to catch up, so the two of them had to use their own feet to run away now.

  As the two robbers were outsiders and completely unfamiliar with their surroundings, they began to panic when they heard the police sirens in the distance. The two thieves hastily ran towards a forest connected to a large mountain in front of them, hoping to temporarily hide there for the time being.

  "Big brother, it seems like there's someone up ahead, what should we do?" The slender and bespectacled Hook noticed that as they were about to enter the forest, someone was actually walking out of it. He asked for instructions from his leader, Da Jun, while running and turning his head sideways.

  "Damn it, what's going on... just get rid of him and be done with it. Wait, don't use a gun, we don't want to attract other people's attention!" The burly man's face scrunched up in a frown as he growled at Hook, meanwhile a multi-functional military knife had already appeared in his hand.

  After receiving the order from their superior, Hook didn't say much and quickly pulled out a military dagger from his clothes and rushed towards the person walking towards them with the army. Both of them were former soldiers, so they were also skilled in using cold weapons.

  Looking at the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer, the hook's sudden pounce on the approaching person was like a fierce strike. At the same time, the dagger in his hand also stabbed forward. However, with a strong impact, the hook suddenly found that what should have been behind him, the old general's army, had suddenly appeared in front of him, and he himself was getting farther and farther away from them.

  After being slammed to the ground violently, Hook felt a sharp pain rapidly spreading from his abdomen throughout his entire body. Then blood kept spouting out of Hook's mouth, and soon after he felt everything go black and knew nothing more.

  But seeing the hook being knocked away instantly, the army was shocked and immediately stopped its forward charge. At the same time, a 54-style pistol was quickly pulled out from his body, aiming at the person who had knocked away the hook, ready to fire.

  The big army couldn't care less whether it would attract other people's attention with the gunshot, he just wanted to solve the opponent first.

  When he pointed the pistol at the position where his opponent was, ready to settle the opponent with one shot, he found that the person who had just hit the hook in that position had disappeared. Dajun knew something was wrong, and before he could react, he felt a heavy blow to his head, and then everything went black.

  Looking at the two robbers who were instantly killed by himself on the ground, Mu Chen Xing also felt a little inexplicable. He had just finished training and was familiar with the power of the Fist God Gloves, and was about to go home for a good lunch, but as soon as he came out of the woods, he found two flustered guys rushing towards him.

  With the battle experience accumulated over this period of time, Muxu Xing quickly discovered that the two people who were rushing towards him at a fast pace had no good intentions for himself.

  When the two sides were already very close, the thin one of the two suddenly pounced on Muxin Xing. At the same time, he was also holding a shiny dagger in his hand.

  "Whoa, I haven't even made a move yet and these two guys are already launching a preemptive attack on me. It seems like they're trying to take me down. Looks like I've been underestimated as a soft persimmon. Guess I won't be holding back now."

  Mudustar's anger surged in his heart, and with the Fist God glove on his right hand, he struck out a powerful punch without holding back.

  Under the stimulation of Quanshen Hand Gloves Electric Current, Muxun Xing's iron fist, which was launched later but arrived earlier, heavily hit the chest of that skinny guy who pounced on himself.

  Under the combined force of the God Fist and the Power Glove, that skinny guy who rushed over was unfortunately hit in the chest. His entire body was like being hit by a large truck, flying six or seven meters away instantly. Then he heavily fell to the ground, his chest already caved in. Looking at him, it's clear he won't survive.

  After knocking the thin man flying, Mù Chén Xīng discovered another burly fellow immediately halted his charge towards him and quickly pulled out a Type 54 pistol from his body.

  Seeing the opponent's swift movement, Muxin Star didn't hesitate. With a sudden burst of energy from his feet, he immediately used the "Slash" technique he had just mastered, appearing beside his opponent before they could react. He struck their head with a fierce and powerful blow.

  Like the skinny guy before, this unlucky guy who was hit on the head by Mochizuki's full-force punch also died instantly. However, his death pose was a bit disgusting because he was hit in the head and under the powerful fist of Shinto, his entire face was bleeding from all seven orifices.

  "What kind of people are these two, huh... This is..." After confirming that the two were completely dead, Mochou Xing began to examine their bodies to see if he could find anything. When he opened the large package on one of the corpses' backs, he found that it was filled with a large amount of cash.

  "Could it be that these two are robbers... what a hassle..." Looking at the large amount of cash in the bag, combined with the weapons and actions of the two men just now, Muxuying had already guessed their identities.

  According to China's current strict gun control, it is generally impossible for ordinary people to own firearms domestically. Private illegal possession is a serious crime, and these two men do not look like they can normally possess firearms at all. No wonder as soon as they saw themselves, they immediately took action, with a look of wanting to kill themselves on the spot. It turned out that they wanted to silence them, but now they have died at their own hands instead.

  "It seems like something big is going to happen in the city today... This money... Forget it, I won't take it... To avoid trouble." After glancing at the large bag filled with a huge amount of cash, Muxuying hesitated for a moment before reluctantly shifting his gaze away.

  Although Mu Chen Xing is in urgent need of money now, he can't make up his mind about these tempting cash. Because this cash was robbed from banks and other places, if they move the money now, it will be troublesome when the police investigate later, which does not conform to the low-key standard set by Mu Chen Xing and Lao Zhou.

  After looking around and not finding anyone else, Mochou Xing immediately carefully eliminated some obvious evidence and quickly left here with his own superb skills. He didn't want to be a hero who knocked down bank robbers, now he just wanted a low-key and peaceful life. If possible, he would never draw attention to himself.

  About four hours after the departure of the dust star, a group of police officers led by several police dogs found this small forest. At this time, two bank robbers who had been out of breath for a long time appeared in front of these police officers, and the millions they robbed were all on the scene. There was no other person around at that time.

  The police immediately reported the situation on the scene to the headquarters. Soon after, forensic doctors and a large number of criminal police also arrived at the scene, starting to investigate and collect evidence while sealing off the area.

  As the commander-in-chief on the scene, Liu Wenhao, the head of the municipal police force, was now frowning unconsciously as he looked at the scene. Although Old Liu was already over 50 years old and his hair had turned white by more than half, he was still full of energy. Especially his sharp eyes, which left a deep impression on people. As a veteran detective with over 20 years of experience, he had discovered something unusual through his keen instincts.

  The security situation in Lushan City has always been very good, and there has never been a case of armed robbery with such severe consequences! Moreover, it won't be long before Lushan City will host several large-scale promotional exhibitions for the city, and at that time, many representatives from home and abroad will arrive here. However, now, at this critical moment, such a case emerges, which is equivalent to openly slapping the face of all government officials in Lushan City.

  The enraged municipal party committee leaders then issued a notice to the police department, requiring all departments to fully cooperate and capture the robbers before they escaped from Lushan City.

  Old Liu immediately issued an order after receiving the leader's command, requiring roadblocks and checkpoints to be set up at each exit of the city to strictly inspect passing vehicles.

  Old Liu's biggest worry was whether the robbers had already escaped from the police cordon and fled outside the range of Lushan City. After all, they were only notified an hour after the case occurred. In the following time, no vehicles driven by robbers were found at each exit.

  Just as Old Liu was wondering if the robbers had already escaped from Lushan City, a team searching in the suburbs sent a message saying they had found the robbers' trail and were now pursuing them.

  Lao Liu immediately led the criminal police team to rush to the location where the robbers were found to provide support. When they arrived at the scene, they found that the two robbers had been dead for a long time.

  Just as Old Liu was pondering the cause of death of the two robbers in the forensic report, several police cars rushed to the scene. After a few people got out of the car, the police who were maintaining the scene nearby all saluted them.

  Among them, the most striking one was a young policewoman in her early twenties with shoulder-length short hair and a pretty face. A well-fitted uniform made her look energetic and spirited.

  "Xiao Ying! What are you doing here with the Special Duty Squad?" Old Liu couldn't help but feel surprised to see his old friend's daughter, Fang Xiangying. Her department should have other tasks at this time, so why was she appearing here? Moreover, according to reason, the Special Duty Squad directly under the Central Committee would not normally intervene in local affairs unless they had received special orders.

  Lao Liu and Fang Zhengxiong, the old man of Fang Yingying, have been old friends for many years. He has also regarded Fang Yingying as his own daughter since she was a child, so he asked with concern.

  Fang Yingying walked quickly to Old Liu's side, smiling and looking at him: "Uncle Liu, this time I came personally to see if I can help out a bit... At the same time, I also came to visit you!"

  "That's good, let the girl take a look at the scars on the bandit's body. It seems to be the handiwork of someone from the martial arts world, what do you think about it?!" Old Liu asked this question for a reason, these two people were obviously beaten to death by someone from the martial arts world. This was no longer something that he, as the head of the city's criminal police, could easily solve. However, Fang Yingying was more knowledgeable in this aspect.

  Because most of Fang's ancestors were people from the rivers and lakes, they later followed Mao Taizu to fight for the country and made many military achievements. After the founding of the country, they also became one of the founding fathers, and their descendants mostly served the country as well. However, their identity as half-people from the rivers and lakes has not been lost, and they are still familiar with some things on the rivers and lakes today. At the same time, Fang Yingying's special task force is also an old hand in dealing with this kind of thing.

  As a member of the special task force, Fang Yingying also knew the discipline of the troops, putting public interests before private ones. Under Lao Liu's leadership, they immediately arrived at the side of the two corpses and began to examine their wounds with an unchanged expression.

  "Uncle Liu, the two robbers on the scene were clearly beaten to death with fists, and it was a one-hit kill. The technique was clean and efficient, from the wounds on the robbers' bodies, there were obvious signs of impact on the surface, and their internal organs were also shattered by the force, which was caused by being hit by an extremely powerful martial art."

  "As far as I know, there are less than ten external family masters in the domestic martial arts world who possess the ability to kill with one blow. However, none of these people should be present in Lushan City at this time." After a series of careful observations, Fang Yingying looked solemnly at the two corpses covered with white cloth on the stretcher and told Old Liu the astonishing result of her examination.

  Fang Yingying, due to her family background, was also relatively familiar with some things in the Jianghu. The wounds on these two corpses were clearly caused by the fists of an external expert, which ordinary forensic doctors could not distinguish.

  "It seems that this city of Lushan may be hiding a top-notch folk external fist master, and the urban promotion exhibition will be held in a few days. I hope nothing happens in the future!" After listening to Fang Yanyan's explanation, Old Liu sighed and looked at the two corpses that had already been lifted onto the car.

  A martial arts master of this level is generally not something that ordinary people can handle. For a master of this caliber, if they want to kill someone, they don't need any weapons at all. Their body itself is the best weapon. However, such an unstable factor will also bring no small amount of trouble to the security work of the upcoming exhibition.

  "Uncle Liu, don't worry, this time our special task force will also temporarily cooperate with the Lushan City police on security issues during the exhibition. We'll keep an eye on that mysterious expert!" Fang Yingying said with a smile, seeing Old Liu's worried expression.

  After hearing Fang Yanyan's words, Old Liu felt much more at ease. "Really? That's great! With your special task force's help, I can also feel much more at ease! By the way, Lass, come to Uncle Liu's house for dinner tonight, your aunt hasn't seen you in a long time."

  "Got it... I haven't had Auntie's cooking for a long time either." Seeing that things around them were almost done, Old Liu got into the police car with Fang Yingying to head back to the police station.

  At the same time, Muxin Xing, who was at home with Old Zhou and others checking out new equipment, had no idea that he had already been listed by the police as a hidden martial arts master among the people. At the same time, it also drew attention from the Special Task Force.
