The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 86: Discovering New Clues


Early the next morning, Luo Chao got up quite early.

Ever since staying at the hospital with Lin Yun, Luo Chao practices the Gale Purple Thunder Technique on the hospital's Celestial Platform every morning.

In the past, no matter how hard he practiced, the Gale Purple Thunder Technique wouldn't show any progress, but ever since he absorbed the strange energy from the Wandering Dragon Jade Pendant, he could now see slight improvements through his practice.

Although this progress is small, it's better than none, so Luo Chao persists in practicing.

Sometimes, on the hospital's Celestial Platform, Luo Chao would encounter Jiang Lianqing, the director who comes early to practice Tai Chi, and he seizes this chance to help Jiang Lianqing with medical problems or even guide his Tai Chi.

After all, Jiang Lianqing is kind of like his disciple, and the authority that comes with being the director is something Luo Chao is extremely grateful for.

He allowed Luo Chao and others to take over an entire floor of the hospital so that the special police officers protecting Lin Yun could stay together.

Of course, the money is still paid.

Honestly, if it weren't for the unresolved big case, Luo Chao would actually quite enjoy living in the hospital.

Meals can be had at the hospital cafeteria, clothes and bedding are washed by caretakers, and most importantly, you get to see the adorable nurse sisters every day…

Thanks to Luo Chao's unique insight into bras, he was already friendly with the nurse sisters at the hospital.

Those special police officers standing guard saw Luo Chao mingling with the adorable nurse sisters like that and all respected Luo Chao, hoping he could teach them the skill to discern bras.

But this requires talent that Luo Chao doesn't know how to teach, so he just fooled them a bit and got quite a few cigarettes.

After finishing a round of cultivation, it was already morning, and Luo Chao took a shower and returned to Lin Yun's ward.

At this point, he found Lin Yun's good friend, Miao Shiyun, the chairwoman of Meilong Group, had come to visit Lin Yun.

Miao Shiyun was wearing gray stockings and a tight skirt that perfectly showcased her curving buttocks, almost making Luo Chao, who had just completed his cultivation and was full of vitality, have a nosebleed.

"Yun'Er, you've been in the hospital for several days now. I thought you had a serious illness and was worried to death!" Miao Shiyun said, sitting by Lin Yun and holding her hand.

"I don't have any physical ailment, but I'm almost having a mental breakdown!" Lin Yun replied sulkily.

Not only being chased but restricted by the police for protection, Lin Yun had indeed felt stifled these past days.

"Tell me, what trouble have you encountered recently?" Miao Shiyun asked curiously, "Why are there so many police officers standing guard in the hallway?"

Miao Shiyun, despite being twenty-something, referred to those similarly-aged special police officers as "police uncles," which disgusted Luo Chao.

Before Lin Yun could answer, Luo Chao jumped in and said, "Our president Lin has encountered the wealthy family serial killer case."

Upon hearing Luo Chao's voice, Miao Shiyun immediately turned around in excitement but found Luo Chao bare-chested, showing off his defined eight-pack abs.

"Oh gosh, why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Miao Shiyun made a displeased gesture at Luo Chao.

At Miao Shiyun's remark, Luo Chao only realized he hadn't dressed himself after showering yet.

Feeling awkward, Luo Chao grabbed a shirt to put on, but Miao Shiyun's voice came again.

"No need to put it on, you look good as is!" Miao Shiyun shook Lin Yun's arm, "Yun'Er, don't you think so?"

"Oh stop it, Sister Miao, don't talk nonsense." Lin Yun hurriedly covered her eyes, "Luo Chao, please put your shirt on!"

Luo Chao shrugged and put his clothes on, albeit slowly.

Because he noticed Lin Yun was secretly peeking at him through her fingers, thinking she wasn't spotted.

After dressing, Miao Shiyun seemed slightly disappointed but quickly continued asking, "Luo Chao, were you talking about the serial killer case that's been all over the news? The one already claiming eight victims?"

"Exactly." Luo Chao nodded.

"Oh dear, Yun'Er, you must be careful." On finding out Lin Yun was caught up in the case, Miao Shiyun expressed worries, "I heard that killer is quite deranged, not only killing people in various ways but also takes the victim's head!"

"Takes the head?" Miao Shiyun's remark suddenly triggered an idea in Luo Chao.

"Why take the head? Ancient killers took heads to verify identity for rewards, but what's the point in modern times?" Luo Chao mused aloud.

"Why else? Just because he's deranged. From what I've seen in TV dramas, serial killers always take something from the victim as some sort of trophy! It's so twisted!" Miao Shiyun remarked.

Listening to this, Luo Chao suddenly had a brilliant idea and hurried to Ouyang Tian's hospital room.

Ouyang Tian was already up, studying the case notes in his room.

"Captain Ouyang, I'm wondering if this case's victims really had their heads taken?" Luo Chao asked anxiously.

Seeing Luo Chao's urgent demeanor, Ouyang Tian responded, "You heard about this too? Yes, indeed, the first seven victims had their heads taken."

"The first seven victims... So you're saying, the eighth victim Wu Yunfei's head is intact?" Luo Chao seemed to see a glimmer of hope and quickly asked.

"Wu Yunfei's body is currently the only one fully intact, and it's being preserved in our police department's morgue..." Ouyang Tian said, suddenly catching on, his eyes lit up, "You think the killer might go after Wu Yunfei's head too?"

"You got it!" Luo Chao nodded vigorously.

"Great, this can be a trap! I'll immediately arrange for the police department to tighten the security around Wu Yunfei's body!" Ouyang Tian said and started making phone calls from the balcony.

Meanwhile, Luo Chao returned to Lin Yun's ward.

The moment he walked in, he saw Miao Shiyun and Lin Yun discussing the Blood Jade Bracelet that Luo Chao had given Lin Yun.

"Yun'Er, this bracelet was given by Luo Chao, wasn't it?" Miao Shiyun asked, examining the Blood Jade Bracelet on Lin Yun's wrist.

"Yes, it's pretty, isn't it? Luo Chao said it's worth 1.3 million Huaxia Coins, but I think at most it's worth three thousand." Lin Yun chuckled.

"Hmph!" Miao Shiyun glared at Luo Chao, "So it's because it's worth 1.3 million that you won't give it to me!"

Luo Chao awkwardly smiled. The truth was, that's indeed why he begrudged giving it to Miao Shiyun, even if he gave it to Lin Yun just to repay a debt.

Lin Yun, hearing Miao Shiyun's words, showed a puzzled expression, "Sister Miao, what are you talking about?"
