From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

"With Zhuo Hongjun's family background, he definitely spent a lot of resources."

Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun, and others all had reached the Third Transition Class, whereas Zhuo Hongjun didn't even have Third Transition Origin Quality.

Just then, Liu Songren came over and heard the ongoing discussion. He interjected, "I know a bit about this, Zhuo Hongjun's family has already prepared the Third Transition Origin Quality, and he should be merging classes soon. It's just that he's picky, unwilling to accept any class with lower combat power."

This explanation made much more sense.

As for when he would merge into the Third Transition Class, it had nothing to do with the case they were investigating now.

According to the test results, his two classes were indeed "Assault" and "Punishment Knight," neither of which could have inflicted wounds in the shape of beast claws.

In other words, this investigation instead proved his innocence.

Afterward, the remaining individuals also underwent class testing, and all was normal.

Everyone's class abilities were clear except for Tao Yalun's "Flame Beast Claw," which could cause beast claw-shaped wounds, none of the others was suspicious.

As for Tao Yalun, the suspicion wasn't high.

The investigation had reached a deadlock at this point.

Chen Linian raised a question, "Are only the Da Xia superpower users under suspicion?"

Lu Heng slowly shook his head, "No, all the superpower users drafted into the Elf World in the same batch are suspects. However, if it's superpower users from other countries, there's basically no way to investigate."

Superpower users drafted into the Quel'dorei World in the same batch not only included those from Da Xia but also from Fusang, Shendu Country, White Eagle Federation, Lion Heart Empire, and Siam...

The drafted superpower users were too diverse, and investigating all of them could take up to half a year.

Such a long time, and who knows how many Abyss Battlefields would transpire by then.

Therefore, this investigation could only stop here; there was no way to proceed.

Before leaving, Lu Heng walked Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun, and the others to the door.

There were a few who hadn't made it to the last gathering. Lu Heng hugged them and said, "In the future, we'll each go our own way; I wish everyone can become a great commander."

"Let's go, there are still things to handle in the troop," Wu Weibing patted Lu Heng's arm.

This parting, who knew when they would meet again.

Perhaps it was best not to meet, as likely, they would gather again only because of an urgent mission.

Lu Heng waved his hand, sending them off.

Afterward, Zhuo Hongjun also came out from inside.

The two exchanged glances, each seeing a different meaning in the other's eyes.

Zhuo Hongjun approached Lu Heng and, wearing a respectful expression, said, "I can guess you're suspecting me, but I really haven't done anything against discipline. You can question my abilities, but not my loyalty to the country."

Lu Heng noticed his attitude was much more subdued than before, not as arrogant as in the past.

"Let's hope that's the case. This investigation is only paused for now. If new clues emerge later, you might be recalled."

Zhuo Hongjun nodded in agreement, "I am absolutely obedient to the organization's arrangements and am ready to be investigated at any time."

After he finished speaking, he saluted militarily, then turned, walked out the door, and got into a car with a license plate starting with a red character.

Chen Linian, along with his apprentice and two other Iron Blood Investigators, came out and waved, saying, "Our work here is also done; we'll write the investigative report when we get back. If there's nothing else, we'll be going."

Lu Heng nodded, "Okay, thanks for your hard work."

"No trouble at all, it's the same work wherever we go," Chen Linian waved his hand.

As they walked out the gate, Lu Heng suddenly asked, "Inspector Chen, from your intuition, who among these people do you think is problematic?"
