Long Ming saw the autopsy report of his niece and immediately understood that Long Lingxin had severed her own heart meridian and taken her own life.
Long Ming could understand his niece's thoughts. She was a very proud woman, and after suffering continuous heavy blows, it would be strange if she could endure it.
He had originally planned to arrange a corneal transplant for her after her injuries recovered a bit, and then trick her into finding the best plastic surgeon, saying that his skills could restore her appearance to a general extent.
As it turned out, even Long Ming did not expect that the anesthetic would wear off early, and the casual chat between two young nurses severely provoked the eldest daughter of the Long family, who then ended her suffering.
Just then, Tian Yiming, a capable subordinate of Long Ming, came over.
"Boss, we've found a clue!"
Tian Yiming was indeed a very capable detective, skilled and experienced in investigating cases.
Furthermore, as the incident occurred in the capital, a place filled with cameras, it was not easy for the killer to escape without leaving any trace.
Especially with the current integration of big data and facial recognition technology, Tian Yiming had finally discovered traces of the killer!
"We haven't apprehended the killer because after committing the crime, the perpetrator went directly to the airport and flew abroad!
However, after reviewing the surveillance videos, we discovered footage of this person scouting the crime scene before the incident.
The vehicle he used was a second-hand car. Although the car was not transferred, the account used to pay for it belongs to a disciple of the Tianshan Sword Sect.
And the house where this killer had been staying recently also belongs to a distant relative of a disciple from the Tianshan Sword Sect!"
Tian Yiming became more excited as he spoke, but Long Ming fell into deep thought. He couldn't understand why the Tianshan Sword Sect would do this!
The Tianshan Sword Sect now had a strong desire and need to cooperate with the Long family; they were eager to curry favor with them.
This marriage alliance had encountered complications. Although the young master of the Tianshan Sword Sect, Yun Zhan, had been driven away, the problem was that it was Yun Zhan, the young master of the Tianshan Sword Sect, who had cheated first, had his infidelity filmed, and it became widely known.
Moreover, this incident had caused the Long family to lose a lot of face. Before the Long family could even seek retribution from the Tianshan Sword Sect, they dared to send someone to disfigure Long Lingxin. This was simply an incomprehensible matter!
"Yiming, continue your investigation. Secretly control those involved and ensure you obtain conclusive evidence from them to prevent anyone from using them to confuse the public!
Because I have a feeling that something is not right. The Tianshan Sword Sect should have no motive to do this!"
Finding the motive for a crime was crucial in solving it.
"Also, give me the information on that guy who fled abroad. Does he think he's safe now that he's abroad? How naive!" Long Ming's words were filled with killing intent as he said this.
Although the Long family was an ancient family in China, they possessed immense wealth. Over the years, they had also infiltrated many foreign countries, and their influence abroad remained terrifyingly vast, especially for matters that were inconvenient to handle domestically but could be done without scruples abroad.
Just then, another confidant of Long Ming rushed over.
"Boss, there's important intelligence regarding the Tianshan Sword Sect!"
As this confidant spoke, he glanced at Tian Yiming, clearly implying a question about Tian Yiming's reliability.
"Go ahead and speak. Yiming is one of us. He's investigating matters concerning the Tianshan Sword Sect, so it's good for him to know the relevant intelligence!"
"Boss, just now, the secret informant embedded within the Tianshan Sword Sect by the Righteous Path Alliance sent a major piece of news: the young master of the Tianshan Sword Sect, Yun Zhan, was killed on his way home!"
"What!"
Long Ming was utterly shocked by this news. He slammed the table and jumped up.
Long Ming knew Yun Zhan's status within the Tianshan Sword Sect. He was the only son of Yun Hantian, the sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect. This young man was exceptionally talented, possessing outstanding intelligence, comprehension, skills, and understanding of martial arts.
It could be said that without any unforeseen circumstances, Yun Zhan would be the next sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect.
And now, he had been killed. One could imagine what the reaction of Yun Hantian, the sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect, would be upon hearing this devastating news!
"Who did it? Have you found out?" Long Ming quickly asked.
"There are no clues. The crime scene was deserted, with no cameras, no witnesses, not even a suspicious footprint!
The only thing that could be ascertained was that Yun Zhan was killed by a flying sword!"
"Flying sword!" Hearing these two words, Long Ming's scalp tingled, and a bad premonition surfaced in his mind!
In China today, apart from the people of the Tianshan Sword Sect, those who could wield a flying sword were extremely rare.
Not long ago, Yun Zhan had personally taught the technique of flying swords to Long Lingxin. Long Lingxin learned quickly and had basically mastered the basic operation of flying swords, capable of injuring people with them!
Now, Yun Zhan had been killed by a flying sword, and the suspicion on Long Lingxin and the Long family suddenly became extremely high!
Especially the eldest daughter, Long Lingxin, had a bad temper and a pronounced sense of entitlement, a fact well known to the Tianshan Sword Sect.
They might even believe that Long Lingxin, upon seeing the video of Yun Zhan's infidelity, felt humiliated and betrayed, and in a fit of rage, personally killed Yun Zhan!
It was not uncommon to reach this conclusion. Long Ming knew that even if he were in Yun Hantian's shoes, he would ultimately reach the same conclusion!
And the consequence of such a conclusion would be the Tianshan Sword Sect's fierce retaliation against the Long family!
It could even be said that the killer had shown restraint by not directly killing Long Lingxin, but merely disfiguring her with scalding hot oil from a hot pot.
All signs now indicated that the attack on Long Lingxin was retaliation from the Tianshan Sword Sect. As for whether the Tianshan Sword Sect had other forms of retaliation, it was truly difficult to say!
If it were him, Long Ming, whose only son was killed, he would probably go to any lengths to deal with the killer!
Long Ming found the situation very tricky because, although the Tianshan Sword Sect was far inferior to the Long family in many aspects, they were extremely formidable in martial arts.
If they were to fight a battle of mutual destruction, even if the Tianshan Sword Sect was eventually destroyed by the Long family, the Long family would still suffer heavy losses, being severely weakened even if they survived.
"Yiming, go write a report stating that we have discovered evidence of the Tianshan Sword Sect colluding with heretical cults!"
