Chapter 1000...

  "Is the result out?" Looking at the mess on the ground and the remaining flames everywhere, Black Federation Investigator Bloke asked with a worried face.

  A white detective said: "Well... preliminary determination is accidental."

  "What? Another unexpected accident?"

  "Although it's hard to believe, after analysis by technical personnel, it was indeed an accidental incident. To be honest, I thought it was an act of God and I also found it hard to believe that it was just an accident, but that's the fact. However..."

  "What's going on?" asked the black detective hastily.

  "This time, the accident did not result in any casualties." The white detective said: "However, according to eyewitnesses, at that time, there was indeed a person trapped in the big fire and hit by the fallen neon lights. But we didn't find any bodies. This means that the person is still alive. I have to say, that person's life is really tough, and they can't even die like this."

  The black detective looked around and sighed, "This is the 4th unexpected accident today. Including yesterday's big bridge collapse, there have been 5 unexpected accidents already. Each one was such a coincidence, completely caused by a series of unexpected events. Jim, do you think this is just a coincidence?"

  "It's really strange. I've been a cop for twenty years, and it's the first time I've encountered such a bizarre case. However," White Jim shrugged his shoulders and said, "Life is unpredictable."

  The black detective seemed to have thought of something, "Right, how's the investigation into that vagrant's disappearance case going?"

  "You see my memory, I just received the news and was about to report it to you." Jim patted his head and said: "From the collected evidence, several fingerprints were extracted, and after matching, they found that they were exactly the same as those of several Chinese students who died unexpectedly today. If there is no other evidence, it can almost be determined that they are the murderers."

  The black detective's eyebrows furrowed and he said, "Have you investigated those exchange students?"

  "They were all Chinese students from 'Al-Arab High School'." He added, "All the procedures were legal. There was no doubt whatsoever. To be honest, I couldn't understand why a group of young students would want to kill a group of vagrants."

  The black detective rubbed his chin and said: "I remember there were thirty foreign students in total. Twelve are dead, leaving eighteen. Where are they now?"

  "Twelve of them are currently staying in a hostel at 1207 Washington Street. Another six are unaccounted for. Oh, and according to the hospital's report, that student who was seriously injured in yesterday's bridge accident has gone missing." Jim added: "I think this group of Chinese exchange students is very suspicious. Do you want to send someone to catch them?"

  The black detective shook his head and said, "We can't do this without solid evidence. Since those who had a motive to kill are already dead, it's impossible to get a conviction. Arbitrarily arresting foreign students, especially Chinese ones, during such a sensitive period could easily lead to international disputes. We can't afford to take on that responsibility."

  "What's to be done?" Jim asked.

  "Order the black detectives to keep a close eye on them for the time being and report their movements at any time. Also, search for the 6 missing foreign students with all one's might."

  "What about the 'Lucky Eight', no, now it's the 'Lucky Seven', what are they going to do? Boss, we don't have enough manpower."

  "I'll take care of that personally." The black detective said: "The little chef in that restaurant is very suspicious, I must keep an eye on their movements at all times."

  "Alright."

  White Jim left, but the black detective furrowed his brow, and suddenly his gaze swept over a nearby alleyway, subconsciously adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose. As if possessed by a spirit, the black detective looked around before taking steps towards that dark alleyway.

  It seems to be from a kind of intuition, the black detective thinks that the dark alley may have the answer he wants. Long-term detective work has cultivated his extremely keen intuition, and he has always believed in his intuition.

  Cautiously entering the narrow alley, the black detective habitually drew his gun, its cold muzzle pointing down the passage.

  The dark alley was like a ferocious beast's bloody maw, ready to devour people.

  The black detective took a deep breath, stepped lightly, and walked into the alley one step at a time. His breathing was extremely light, and his footsteps didn't make any sound. The alley was very quiet, humid, dark, and had a strong unpleasant smell.

  "Huh?"

  It seemed like he had stepped on something, and the black detective couldn't help but glance down at the ground. He couldn't resist bending down to pick up what he had stepped on.

  It was a raincoat. Moreover, it was a tattered and burnt raincoat with holes everywhere, which should have been burned by the big fire and pierced by some sharp objects at the same time. The raincoat still had some temperature left on it, as well as a pungent smell left after being burned.

  Hua la——

  "Who?!"

  The black detective suddenly raised his head, and the finger on the trigger tensed up in an instant.

  In the darkness, two green eyes were shining and moving.

  Meow——

  A sleek black stray cat emerged from the dark shadows, fearlessly gazing at the black detective for a moment before sauntering past his feet.

  The black detective let out a heavy sigh, smiled bitterly, and put away his gun. He casually threw away the tattered raincoat and turned to walk out of the alley.

  The dark alley ultimately leads to deathly silence.

  ……

  Sigh——

  As he watched the black detective's back disappear at the end of the alley, Yin's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a deep sigh.

  "Damn it, he's finally gone. This guy's perception must be over 10 points. Luckily, my perception is 3 points higher than his. Otherwise, I would have really been discovered by him."

  At this time, Yin Kuang hid in the corner of a narrow alleyway, covering himself with a discarded curtain he had grabbed.

  Looking at the remaining "5" points of life on the attribute panel, Yin Kuang smiled wryly while secretly congratulating himself on his good fortune, and finally managed to pull through.

  At this thought, Yin Kuang couldn't help but cast his gaze at the tattered raincoat on the ground, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart. "If it weren't for this raincoat, I'm afraid I would have been burned to death by now. Should I attribute this to my charm, which has reached 16 points (originally 14 + 'willing to help others' auxiliary title), or should I thank the kind-hearted old American?"

  It turned out that the oil did splash onto Yin Kuang's body, but it was actually blocked by his raincoat. When the big fire started, it didn't directly burn Yin Kuang's body. Plus, with the heavy rain, Yin Kuang's clothes were already wet and wouldn't catch fire easily without oil. So, the big fire didn't have a significant impact on Yin Kuang after all.

  At the moment when the signboard fell, Yin Kuang once again activated the "G-type transformation form". The 20-point strength and 18-point defense barely withstood the crushing pressure of the recruitment, but his right shoulder was still pierced by a rusty iron bar. Fortunately, it was his right shoulder that was pierced, if it had been his brain, Yin Kuang would have died instantly.

  Fortunately, I managed to hold on until the end.

  When Yin Kuo leaned against the wall in a small alley and gasped for breath, he received a hint from the principal.

  "Hint: You successfully dodged the Grim Reaper's first design. Reward 500 learning points, 1 F-level assessment point, 2 academic credits, and 2 comprehensive assessment points."

  "Hint: As you successfully dodged Death's first design, due to 'rules' restrictions, Death cannot implement a death design on you for 24 hours."

  Upon receiving this hint, Yin Kuang couldn't help but shout out "YES"!

  The reward of 10,000 yuan is indeed tempting to Yin Kuang, but the 24-hour safety period excites him even more. This is simply a pillow being delivered while he's sleeping.

  Originally, Yin Kuang was always cautious because of his estimation of the Reaper's design, so he was always holding back in everything he did, afraid that if he wasn't careful, the Reaper would design him to death. But now, such worries no longer exist. A 24-hour safety period is enough for Yin Kuang to do many things.

  For example, drag out Tang Zhao Tian, drag out Wang Ning!

  These two people, from start to finish, were time bombs and extremely unstable factors. Especially Wang Ning, in Yin Kuang's view, this person simply could not be measured with common sense, thinking back on his behavior, Yin Kuang felt that he was simply not a normal person.

  Yin Kuang's greatest fear was that Wang Ning would intentionally sabotage the unified exam mission. If that were true, it would be a nightmare for Class 1204.

  Yin Kuang didn't suspect at all that Wang Ning would do such a thing.

  "If... he thought of a way to leave Class 1204 and join another class... then what he had to do was use every means possible to weaken the scores of Class 1204 in this unified exam... If that's really the case... Wang Ning, you're ruthless, you're poisonous!"

  "Whether you like it or not, you must die... Together with last time's bill, we'll settle the account once and for all!"

  Mysterious amber-colored pupils, because of Yin Kuang's murderous aura, became even brighter.

  Perhaps it was this thread of murderous intent that drew that black detective over there.
