All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 41: Clues to the Killer

On his way home by car, Su Xin took out his phone, and before he could actively search for local news, several news pop-ups appeared.

"Shocking! A major shooting incident occurred in Lening City, resulting in over twenty deaths."

"A major criminal case occurred at Kangbo Biological Company, the perpetrator murdered several researchers."

"A sensational case..."

There’s no doubt that these pop-up news reports were about the case of Su Xin’s parents’ deaths.

Su Xin clicked in to take a look.

The content was similar to what Officer Wang had said, even more detailed in some aspects, such as the crime scene, the progression of the incident, and some witness testimonies— all included in the report, along with some on-site photos.

After reading these, Su Xin had a more comprehensive understanding of the case, though he still didn’t know who the perpetrator was, but it was evident the attacker had targeted Kangbo Biological Company.

Especially the attack inside Kangbo Biological Company’s premises, where the perpetrator suddenly struck others in the lab.

Undoubtedly, the criminal was certainly an insider at Kangbo Company, given that such a big company’s lab cannot be accessed by outsiders.

Moreover, the attack inside Kangbo Biological Company’s lab occurred almost simultaneously as the attack on Jiuan Road, with the victims being Kangbo Biological Company personnel.

Clearly, the attackers on both sides were the same group, orchestrated by the same organization behind the scenes.

This means it was an organized, premeditated, and targeted attack, with the mastermind having deployed people to infiltrate Kangbo Biological Company beforehand, planning a coordinated action today.

Su Xin quickly deduced this.

These insights may seem to have no practical use, but in fact, they allow the mastermind to be confined to a clearer scope—

They bear a deep grudge against Kangbo Biological Company, otherwise, they wouldn’t commit such a shocking crime.

They possess strong or well-hidden power, given Kangbo Biological Company has international conglomerates’ backing, any forces that harbor grudges against them would have long been eradicated thoroughly, unable to survive and even further retaliate.

They have considerable influence locally, otherwise, they couldn’t have obtained so many weapons and ammunition, including assault rifles and grenades, and subsequently managed to quickly clean up clues so the police and media couldn’t find the real culprits.

According to the news report, during the attack on Jiuan Road, the attackers dispatched three vehicles with over ten individuals, and these vehicles traveling through the city roads would inevitably leave traces, even though this world’s surveillance network isn’t as sophisticated as in the past life, the main roads are still well-covered.

If the criminals hadn’t prepared thoroughly, the police would soon find them through these three vehicles.

Be aware that this news has stirred the entire nation, and sparked widespread international media coverage; the upper echelon of the police have repeatedly spoken out, should there be any positive news or clear progress, official channels would promptly reassure the public.

Yet, oddly, there’s been no progress whatsoever.

This sufficiently demonstrates the perpetrators’ meticulous preparation, after committing such a staggering crime, they managed to eradicate clues as much as possible, not exposing a single flaw within a brief period.

Without formidable influence locally, achieving such a feat would be impossible.

These are easy to surmise; Su Xin could discern this, knowing the police unquestionably can too, and they will surely investigate in this direction.

As he pondered.

Su Xin returned home, changed into a loose daily outfit, slipped the Finger Tiger into his pocket, and tucked the phone into the other pocket. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But as he neared the door, he hesitated—not out of fear, but sheer confusion, not knowing where to start.

He intended to greet all the significant and minor forces locally one by one, relying on his Instant Teleportation and Resurrection Superpowers; he was unconquered by fear, even if the Resurrection Superpower could activate only once, he no longer worried about that slight risk now.

The issue, however, was despite having lived in Lening City for over ten years, he was practically ignorant about the various forces, other than a few renowned gangs, he hadn’t heard of other entities, not to mention the many factions hidden in the shadows, he, an ordinary person, wouldn’t know where to even begin contacting them.

At this moment, he hated himself for not having any influence or connections, equipped with a miraculous Causality Law Superpower, yet faced with his parents’ deaths, he didn’t know whom to seek for vengeance.

"Mengzhu, she might know something."

"After all, she’s the daughter of the Golden Shield Gang’s president; even if she’s not directly involved in gang affairs, she’s certainly heard of the forces on the streets."

Su Xin immediately picked up his phone and dialed.

The call was soon connected.

"Su Xin!"

Even over the phone, Fang Mengzhu’s inner delight could be clearly sensed.

"Mengzhu, could you come to my house?"

Sensing something wrong from Su Xin’s somber tone, Fang Mengzhu promptly asked with concern, "Su Xin, what’s wrong?"

"I have something important to ask for your help with; could you come over now?"

"Okay, I’m on my way!"

Fang Mengzhu put away her smile, responded earnestly, and promptly got up, rushing towards the door.

"Hey! Mengzhu, where are you going? You haven’t finished eating... this girl!"

Han Danfeng called out a couple of times, seeing Fang Mengzhu rush out the door without looking back, could only sigh in resignation.

Half an hour later.

Fang Mengzhu arrived, panting, at Su Xin’s apartment floor, and gently knocked on the door.

"Ka!"

The door opened.

Before seeing Su Xin, Fang Mengzhu had prepared herself for being deceived by Su Xin, thinking perhaps he wasn’t really in trouble, but purposely enticing her to come over, wanting to cozy up with her; she’d also prepped herself for pretending to be mad, then relenting half-heartedly.

However, as the door opened and she saw Su Xin looking cold and expressionless, face marked by un-dried tear streaks, eyes red-rimmed, Fang Mengzhu felt a pang in her heart.

She quickly rushed forward, hugged Su Xin tightly, then let go, concernedly asking:

"Su Xin, what happened?"

"Come inside first."

Su Xin closed the door, led Fang Mengzhu to sit on the couch, and asked intently:

"Your father is the president of the Golden Shield Gang; do you understand the major forces in Lening City? Can you give me a brief introduction?"

Fang Mengzhu paused, asking: "Why are you asking this? Can you tell me what happened, why are you like this?"

Su Xin took a deep breath, briefly explaining his parents’ murder today.

Fang Mengzhu hadn’t watched the news, completely unaware of this ordeal, hearing Su Xin’s parents were both dead, she had no time for her prior misjudgments from Su Xin, only compassionately embracing Su Xin, hoping to offer some warmth.
