This person was none other than Hu Qi.
His expression was solemn as he quickly packed up his clothes, simulated leather gloves, and wig.
Afterward, he found a black garbage bag near a trash can on one side, which he had previously packed and hidden underneath.
Trash like this was usually only cleaned up around midnight.
So at this moment, no one had touched it.
He pulled out a bottle of pre-mixed strong sulfuric acid from the bag, twisted open the cap, and poured it directly over the packed wig and clothes.
As soon as the sulfuric acid touched them, it immediately made a “sizzling” sound, turning into wisps of blue smoke that rose into the air.
The wig and clothes instantly charred, curled, then broke apart, finally turning into a nauseating black viscous liquid.
It flowed down into the drainpipe.
After doing all this.
Hu Qi turned and left.
A few minutes later, at another alley entrance, a dissolute young man with red hair and ear studs walked out.
He then entered a nearby shopping mall.
It wasn’t until after ten o’clock that night that Hu Qi, having returned to his original appearance, walked out of the mall with the flow of people.
He carried a few bags of snacks in his hand, no different from an ordinary person.
After returning home, Hu Qi went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and rinsed his body.
Only when the scalding hot water poured down from his head did he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
His gaze fell on the skill column of the panel before him.

【Criminal Investigation Technique (Perfection)】Trait: Meticulous as a Hair
【Makeup (Perfection)】Trait: Disguise
In the past few days, besides staking out Lu Shi and Jiang Yuyan’s whereabouts daily, he spent the rest of his time learning these two skills.
After getting started with these two skills, he used modification points to upgrade them.
Perhaps it was because his physique had been strengthened after cultivating the Fighting Technique.
Or perhaps these two skills leaned towards memory, making them simpler than skills like Fighting Technique.
Therefore, the modification points consumed were not many.
The two skills only consumed four modification points.
Hu Qi successfully upgraded them to Perfection, and at the same time, he gained two different traits.
The former allowed him to enhance his focus and observe details that ordinary people would find difficult to notice.
The latter allowed him to control his facial expressions and voice to a certain extent, thereby achieving a state of making the fake indistinguishable from the real.
With this skill, if he were to act, he would definitely be an award-winning actor.
The process and details of this incident kept replaying in Hu Qi’s mind.
He had considered almost every detail, and he had dealt with sounds, smells, fingerprints, hair, and so on.
Of course, if this were a normal, ordinary technological world, Hu Qi was confident that he would not leave any clues.
But this world was clearly not normal; the existence of monsters, and the Breaking Limit Method that broke through the limits of the human body.
All proved the extraordinary nature of this world.
Furthermore, Lu Shi’s background was not simple; it was rumored that his father’s early rise to wealth was not clean.
It was hard to guarantee that he had no connection with some existence that wielded extraordinary power.
What he did carried no small risk.
But Hu Qi did not regret it; what action carried no risk?
Even defecating could lead to falling into a latrine.
He had given the other party a chance, but they did not cherish it at all.
Since others were determined to deal with him, merely enduring, retreating, and begging would not earn the abuser’s pity.
They would only think he was easy to bully, just like some school bullying.
When facing bullying, if one was tougher and more ruthless, although they might not necessarily avoid being bullied, they would definitely not be bullied so miserably.
This was Hu Qi’s personality.
He couldn’t possibly wait for the other party to have a change of fortune; he couldn’t wait.
Although he had scared off those thugs that day, it was inevitable that the other party would send people to trouble him again.
If they came again, it certainly wouldn’t be as simple as just these few small thugs.
An open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against.
Rather than constantly guarding against the other party, it was better to directly resolve the problem by dealing with them.
The only thing Hu Qi regretted was that.
Originally, he had planned to send Lu Shi’s father down to accompany him, after all, a family should be together, what was the point of leaving one behind?
Unfortunately, perhaps because the other party had offended too many people when he was young.
When he went out, he always had at least four or five bodyguards with him.
It was simply not easy to make a move.
He reached out and wiped the water droplets from his face, Hu Qi’s eyes were clear.
“It’s a pity, I originally just wanted to cultivate the Fighting Technique well, if you hadn’t repeatedly troubled me, why would it have come to this?”
“Although I am a good person, you can’t push me like this!”
After killing Lu Shi and Jiang Yuyan, Hu Qi’s heart was surprisingly calm at this moment.
There was no nausea, fear, or other discomfort as he had imagined.
This made Hu Qi wonder if he was a bit abnormal.
Perhaps it was because his strength had grown too quickly, or perhaps it was his Transmigration mentality at play.
Although he had been in this world for over a month.
He had always felt an invisible barrier between himself and this world, much like a player’s mindset when playing a game.
Would a player feel any discomfort when killing monsters? Obviously not.
“Forget it, no matter what, at least this feeling isn’t bad.”
His hair hung down due to the water, making Hu Qi’s eyes, hidden beneath his hair, appear somewhat dim and unclear.
...
That night, the starlight was dim.
Residence No. 1, downstairs of Building No. 3, next to the greenery.
At this moment, a yellow cordon had already been set up here, and law enforcement personnel in official uniforms were visible everywhere.
“Old Sun, how is it? Are there any clues?”
Just then, a square-faced middle-aged man strode over from one side.
He was wearing a pure black Xi Ya Federation standard police uniform, with several orange-yellow flame stripes on the cuffs and shoulders.
From the pattern on the surface, it could be confirmed that the person before them was a Third-Grade Police Superintendent.
The square-faced middle-aged man’s gaze swept over the two bloody, mangled corpses on the ground, then landed on the old man in a white long gown who was squatting beside them.
This person was thin and had a long beard on his chin.
Hearing this, the old man, called Old Sun, stood up, adjusted the glasses on his face, and shook his head slightly.
“According to the preliminary examination of the bodies, there were no obvious signs of struggle on either body.”
“There are clear strangulation marks on both their necks, which indicates that this was a homicide, and it was a one-sided suppression.”
Speaking of this, he paused, seemingly unable to understand something.
“Don’t beat around the bush, keep talking!”
The square-faced middle-aged man frowned.
“It’s just that I didn’t find any third-party fingerprints on either of them.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, even if they fell from a building, they couldn’t have fallen so far!”
Old Sun pointed to the distance between Building No. 3 and their current location.
Under normal circumstances, when a person falls from a building.
The landing position’s distance from the building depends on multiple factors.
Including the initial speed and angle of the fall, wind force, and whether there was any collision or friction with the building.
Generally, if a person falls freely and vertically without being affected by other external forces, then the landing position should be directly below the building.
This deviation distance could range from tens of centimeters to several meters.
But the angle here was simply too far.
The square-faced man frowned.
