Chapter 704: Chapter 704

By the time Du You arrived home, the two sisters were also back. Du You hung the Red Pills he brought back on the Magic Network. They could be sold online with a not-too-high shipping cost.

At the same time, Du You asked the sisters, "How did the investigation go? Did you find any clues out there?"

Speaking of it, what he did last time was quite big. After all, he killed a city lord. If anyone caught wind of it, he’d definitely be doomed.

The two sisters sat down, placed the items they brought, and Lin Yucha, twirling her hair lightly, said, "The investigation went well. The city lord’s case will likely not be traced back to us. The Earth Fire Sect, an external organization, has been suspected. We don’t know what will happen next. The underground Black Market’s intelligence, however, reported that the Earth Fire Sect admitted to the crime."

Du You felt both like laughing and crying. This really was the style of a terrorist organisation. These groups would boldly claim responsibility for such incidents, which others avoided for fear of getting involved. Their motive was beyond him.

Since they enjoyed the reputation, he decided to grant it to them. No matter what the upper class thought, as long as someone was responsible, the upper class would certainly shift the blame onto them.

After all, further investigation would yield nothing, so it was better to have a target. Otherwise, if something really came up, it wouldn’t be good news for many people.

"Li Sanyuan was not a well-liked person in the city, and his family had left the city long ago, almost severing ties with him. He only has a son now. But the son is preoccupied and probably wouldn’t have time for us."

Lin Yushi also added, "His son is a loser. It’s said he’s reaching the age limit for Law Formalization but hasn’t undergone it yet. He’s afraid of everything. Even if he successfully undergoes Law Formalization, he will have the least talent and no future. No one would follow him."

Du You nodded and said, "If that’s the case, we have nothing to do with Li Sanyuan’s matter."

Du You was truly relieved as long as this case wouldn’t fall upon him. He wasn’t afraid of Lin Feng being killed. It was just an heir of a corporation who was killed.

In the local area, it might be a big deal, but for the alliance, it was nothing. They didn’t care about conflicts among small powers, as long as it didn’t become too big of an issue.

"What about the Lin Family’s case? Any progress?"

"We’ve also investigated that, but the details are not clear. The news of Lin Feng and his mother’s disappearance has spread. But they left secretly that day, so the ruins did not expose any traces of their presence."

"According to our intel, the Lin Family is offering a high reward underground, presumably thinking that these two are more likely dead than alive. But many scapegoats have reportedly been caught recently. I’m not sure what they think."

Du You, reviewing the data brought back by the two sisters, was absorbed in thought.

"It looks like the Lin Family is just putting on a show. They probably don’t believe they can catch the perpetrator. Besides, disappearance is not the same as death. Forget it, we’re leaving soon, no need to bother with such things."

He was aware of the situation of the Lin Family. Lin Feng’s father, the head of the Lin Family, had four sons, and Lin Feng was the youngest.

Even if an inept son were to die, it probably wouldn’t hurt much when there are still three others. As for Lin Feng’s mother, she was only an affinal relative. Who knew whether they had any feelings for each other?

Most importantly, it wasn’t just Lin Feng’s father’s branch in the Lin family. There were actually two other strong factions. If they found any handle, Lin Feng’s father could easily lose his position as the family head. Now, it’s more important to minimize impacts than to track down the murderer.

Besides, it’s not something he could do to mobilize the entire Lin Family for such a thing.

Many times, it could be very troublesome for families with dispersed power to act. However, it was okay since it provided a secure environment for Du You. No one suspected them, so nobody could get in their way.

Du You was about to leave the city, who would care? As long as they were sure no one would give them trouble, Du You didn’t inform others. He once again left the city with the two sisters. Once again confirmed their identities, left the city.

"From here to the nearest city with a flight station... we should be able to get there in about three days at our speed. After returning to the school, the holiday will hardly be over. There’s no dangerous territory on the way, so we’re safe."

Du You checked the map. ’No dangerous territory’ meant there was no gathering of lots of tier-four beings. Lower-strength animals were simply no match for Du You and could only be slaughtered.

If slaughtering these beings on Earth didn’t yield rewards, Du You would really want to clear some dangerous territories along the way.

"Let’s go quickly then. This place is nothing compared to the lively capital." Lin Yushi was already a bit bored. Neither the market nor anything else there reached the level of the capital.

Of course, there was another reason. It was that she needed to dispose of the things in her hand. In this city, her stuff was too high-end. There weren’t any tier-three beings in the city, so who would buy tier-three items?

On the Magic Network, Du You didn’t know how long it would take to find something suitable. It would be best to use the market and Magic Network simultaneously. Leaving the city, Du You and the two sisters rode on two birds, flying towards the planned direction.

Meanwhile, Du You was still browsing on the Magic Network’s market. "This Magic Network is not user-friendly at all. There’s not even a search engine. You have to search one by one." Thıs content belongs to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"This is not a real network, how could it have something like a search engine? It’s already good enough that it can classify items." Lin Yucha behind Du You massaged him gently.

"I was just saying. The information on the Magic Network is so extensive, it’s not easy to find what you need."

Du You was about to say something when he suddenly felt a burst of danger. Without thinking, he conjured a Magic Power shield below. The next moment, a red laser hit the shield, making it tremble violently.

"Land quickly, someone is attacking us!" This laser attack mode was most likely carried out by humans.
