Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1897: 1891: Members of Blood Bat Hall!

The discovery injected vitality into the stagnant investigation, igniting everyone’s enthusiasm once more!

“Quickly deploy personnel to follow the direction of the footprints. Search the entire surrounding area meticulously to ensure not a single clue is missed,” Tan Jing commanded, her voice sharp, as she organized the troop’s movements.

However, Chen Yang harbored reservations about Tan Jing’s strategy. In his judgment, the suspect’s ability to traverse walls suggested they were far from ordinary. Given the passage of time since the incident, a ground-level search nearby might prove largely ineffective.

Despite his internal disagreement, Chen Yang remained silent, respecting their established procedure and refraining from interference.

Once Tan Jing concluded her deployment, Chen Yang seized the opportunity to inquire about the condition of the deceased.

“What was the state of the bodies? Were there any visible wounds or other peculiar signs?” Chen Yang inquired casually. Tan Jing responded with utmost seriousness.

“Indeed, now that you mention it, a profound mystery surrounds the deceased. They bore no visible wounds, making it impossible to ascertain the cause of death. It’s as if their bodies were completely desiccated, as if their very moisture had been evaporated. Do you have any idea who could achieve such a feat?” Tan Jing expressed her bewilderment, having never encountered such an extraordinary crime scene.

A suspect capable of walking on walls, victims seemingly drained of all life essence – the entire situation was shrouded in enigma.

Hearing this, Chen Yang experienced a powerful sense of déjà vu. Bodies devoid of moisture and without wounds… wasn’t this exactly the same condition as his second uncle’s demise?

At this critical juncture, a realization dawned upon Chen Yang!

Perhaps the deaths of these individuals were intrinsically linked to the Blood Bat Hall!

He vividly recalled Ma Jiantao’s visit a few days prior. Ma Jiantao had mentioned that the members of the Blood Bat Hall possessed a secret technique.

Could this clandestine skill be related to the current horrifying circumstances? Might it be responsible for draining the moisture from bodies or extracting other vital substances?

This was his hypothesis, though he lacked absolute certainty.

“Chen Yang, what are you contemplating? Any insights?” Tan Jing, noticing his deep in thought, prompted him.

Chen Yang’s focus snapped back to the present. He shook his head, replying, “No definitive clue yet. We might as well take a walk around; I doubt we’ll find anything more here.”

“Hmm, you’re correct. Shall we proceed in that direction?” Tan Jing concurred with Chen Yang’s assessment. Every inch of the crime scene had been scoured. Lingering further would yield no new discoveries. It was far more prudent to explore the vicinity, hoping for a breakthrough.

Chen Yang, gesturing towards Wangcai, who stood faithfully by his side, smiled. “Of course, we’ll follow him.”

Tan Jing glanced at Wangcai, a smile gracing her lips. “Then let’s follow Wangcai.”

Woof woof!

Wangcai seemed to sense his moment to shine, responding with two sharp barks. With an air of intelligence, he began to sniff the ground within the alley, diligently searching for a scent.

Before long, he made a breakthrough.

Reaching the alley’s end, Wangcai meticulously sniffed the ground. Realizing there was no further path, he turned decisively and exited the narrow passage.

Observing this, Chen Yang, with Tan Jing close behind, immediately followed.

“Wangcai appears to have found something!” Tan Jing also noted Wangcai’s change in direction.

“Yes, Wangcai’s nose is incredibly sensitive,” Chen Yang replied with a smile, his gaze fixed on the canine’s progress.

Emerging from the alley, Wangcai circled the entrance a few times before veering off in a new direction.

Chen Yang and Tan Jing remained silent, their attention fixed on Wangcai, trailing him closely.

After approximately ten minutes of following Wangcai’s lead.

They unexpectedly found themselves on the outskirts of the township. The number of dwellings dwindled, and dense woods were faintly visible in the distance.

“Could the suspect have fled far into the wilderness?” Tan Jing mused, surveying the surroundings with a hint of concern. She surmised that the perpetrator likely escaped into the woods after the crime, vanishing without a trace. If this were the case, their investigation would undoubtedly become considerably more arduous.

However, Chen Yang held a different view.

He noticed that Wangcai wasn’t fixated on the distant woods. Instead, he kept his head down, meticulously tracking scents along the ground. This suggested that the suspect might still be nearby.

Even if they had passed through this area, they must have lingered, leaving traces that could still guide their investigation.

“Not necessarily. He could still be in the vicinity,” Chen Yang stated, his voice calm.

“Nearby?” Tan Jing was taken aback, her hand instinctively reaching for her waist as she cautiously scanned her surroundings. The perpetrator capable of such ghastly deeds presented a significant danger, making her caution entirely justified.

“Just follow Wangcai. Trust his instincts,” Chen Yang advised, offering no further explanation. “Let’s just keep following him.”

“Alright.” Tan Jing nodded, her vigilance unwavering as she continued to observe their surroundings.

Meanwhile, Wangcai meticulously continued his ground search. After another five to six minutes, he abruptly stopped before a residential house.

His gaze was fixed upon the residence, maintaining a strict silence.

Witnessing this, Tan Jing appeared perplexed, murmuring a question to Chen Yang: “Chen Yang, why has Wangcai ceased its movement?”

While Tan Jing was uncertain, Chen Yang possessed an understanding of Wangcai's actions.

“The target is most likely within this dwelling, and they are not ordinary individuals. Wangcai’s stillness is a measure to avoid alerting them,” Chen Yang explained in a low voice.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s deduction, Tan Jing paused, her perception of Wangcai undergoing a significant shift.

It was truly unexpected that Wangcai possessed such intelligence, far exceeding the cleverness and effectiveness of their police canines.

“So, what course of action should we take now? Should I summon backup?” Tan Jing, typically decisive, sought Chen Yang’s guidance at this critical moment.

However, Chen Yang indicated his dissent with a shake of his head: “No need, we are already here, and we can manage. You remain concealed; I will guide Wangcai inside for initial reconnaissance.”

Tan Jing hesitated for a brief moment before concurring: “Very well, proceed with caution.”

“Understood.”

Chen Yang nodded and proceeded to lead Wangcai directly toward the structure.

Tan Jing retrieved her firearm and found a discreet vantage point near the house, diligently monitoring the surroundings.

Should any adverse developments arise with Chen Yang, she was prepared to offer immediate armed intervention.

Knock, knock.

With Wangcai positioned at the entrance of the residence, Chen Yang raised his hand to knock.

However, no response emanated from within the house.

Could it be that the occupants had already departed?

Chen Yang harbored a flicker of surprise but persisted with his knocking.

This time, a voice responded from the interior.

“Who is it, knocking so late? Have you lost your mind?”

A languid, male voice cursed from within.

Shortly thereafter, the door creaked open.

The moment it swung wide, a sinister aura billowed outwards!

Such a presence would typically go unnoticed by regular individuals, but Chen Yang, having attained the Spirit Gathering Realm, instinctively detected this malevolent spiritual energy.

Members of the Blood Bat Hall!

Upon perceiving this wicked aura, Chen Yang's realization was instantaneous: the individuals now before him were affiliated with the Blood Bat Hall.

The preceding events were likely orchestrated by this very group!
