I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 159: 143 Xie Zuxin’s Doom! Devour! (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1

“Hello Pei Jinye, I’m Qiu Hezi, a member of the Second Group. Due to an emergency task, I’m short-staffed and must draft you in temporarily. I apologize for interrupting your holiday,” said the middle-aged man with the flathead haircut, his face full of politeness.

Seeing that the other party was not being pretentious, Pei Jinye didn’t care whether he was the type to smile through gritted teeth. At least for now, he maintained polite appearances, “Brother Qiu, you flatter me. What task is this?”

“Earlier, the Night Patrol Department issued a warrant against a former employee of Sky God International, Gu Shaoshang. Now, the case has been transferred to our investigation team, and we currently have a suspected trace of the target,” Qiu Hezi whispered. “We are going there to confirm their location. It’s in the old city district with many alleyways, so we need manpower to set up a blockade.”

“Who are we catching?” Pei Jinye paused.

“Gu Shaoshang, the one who killed the Wei Family Young Master,” Qiu Hezi whispered back. “I heard that last night the Wei family’s young master was also killed. The Wei family has now issued a reward for clues to the murderer.”

Pei Jinye had not given much consideration to the affairs of the Wei family.

It was just that he suddenly found the name Gu Shaoshang familiar. Now, hearing Qiu Hezi speak of it, he quickly made the connection.

Wasn’t this the scapegoat he had found before?

To think the man had actually been tracked down.

Initially, he had no other intention than to divert trouble elsewhere.

After all, at that time, the Old Gods Association had blundered themselves into oblivion, leaving him with few to blame.

Qiu Hezi thought Pei Jinye was unaware of this and briefed him on Wei Xia and Wei Xianren’s affairs on the way. Little did he know that the “mastermind” behind the two murder cases was sitting right in front of him, quietly and obediently listening in the car.

In Da Peng City’s old district.

“Everybody in position.”

Qiu Hezi signaled, and a few casually dressed investigation team members began to move out.

According to plan.

Everyone steadily narrowed down the search area.

Pei Jinye was patrolling inside an old building with a young team member.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from a few kilometers away.

The young team member quickly looked in that direction, “Not good, something’s happened!”

Soon, Qiu Hezi’s warning came over everyone’s earpiece, “The target’s identity is confirmed, the target is escaping in the southwest direction, hold that area! Xiao Liu was just discovered by the target and is seriously injured, everyone be careful, we are authorized to open fire! Remember, we are authorized to open fire!”

The young team member chambered a round immediately and looked at Pei Jinye, “Let’s go.”

Pei Jinye nodded.

They hurried after the target.

Suddenly, gunfire erupted.

“Get in the car!”

Qiu Hezi shouted loudly, waving his hand. The mech body was stained with blood, but it was unclear whose it was.

He turned to a teammate behind him and said, “You stay here and take care of the injured. I’ve already contacted headquarters and the Night Patrol Department; they’ll arrive in three minutes.”

“Understood!”

Pei Jinye followed them into the car and chased after them.

Qiu Hezi’s voice came through the earpiece, “Be careful everyone, the target is armed. Information about the target has been sent by Xing Tian to your front-end devices, remember to check it.”

Pei Jinye tapped the screen.

The information quickly appeared.

Gu Shaoshang, male, 32 years old…

Extraordinary Abilities: Body · Yanebao (a superpower that can explode Vitality)

Pei Jinye slightly raised his eyebrows.

This ability was somewhat interesting.

For some reason, every time he encountered a Transcendent with the Body Technique System, he felt that same sense of agitation as if he were seeing something delicious.

“Is there a problem with Gu Shaoshang’s information?”

The young team member beside him saw him staring motionlessly at the information and thought there was some issue.

“No problem, I just thought he was only in his early twenties, didn’t expect him to be over thirty,” Pei Jinye came back to his senses and said, “Is his Vitality still at its peak?”

“It should be,” the young team member whispered back. “Those with the Body Technique System typically have their Vitality decline much later than the rest of us.”

Pei Jinye pondered.

He swiped out his attribute panel.

Vitality Value[10-16]

The Body Technique System he had devoured yesterday had taken too much of a toll on his blood.

If he were to devour this Gu Shaoshang… based on the other’s Vitality, it would probably drop by another three or four points… or even more,

“The cost is a bit high.”

“It is a bit high. If Old Liu hadn’t been exposed, we could have just informed the Night Patrol Department to make the arrest,” the young team member completely misunderstood Pei Jinye’s concern.

But Pei Jinye just smiled.

He didn’t say anything further.

Soon.

Three vehicles from the investigation team stopped in front of Broken Cloud Mountain. Not far away in the woods, there was a Jeep.

The people inside had long since fled.

“Headquarters has replied. It’ll be five minutes before the Night Patrol Department arrives. We’ll pursue and track first, reporting our positions en route,” Qiu Hezi spoke softly, the first to rush into Broken Cloud Mountain.

Looking at the familiar place, Pei Jinye retracted his gaze and followed the team, tracking the footprints.

Before long, his teammates up ahead were already taking shots.

Qiu Hezi scolded loudly, “Gu Shaoshang, I advise you not to resist; surrender peacefully, and you still have a chance to live.”

“Get lost, I don’t need your advice on how to do my job! Everyone, get the hell out of here!”

Gu Shaoshang’s angry cursing came from behind a rock.

“Gu Shaoshang, I urge you to come out with your hands on your head immediately!” Qiu Hezi shouted again.

“Go to hell, there are so many criminals out there and you’re still after me. Believe it or not, I’ll cut off your heads and use them as chamber pots!”

Pei Jinye looked on with an odd expression on his face.
