After Lin Neng left the police station, he was deep in thought.
He had underestimated the ability of the police, and they actually investigated him.
Everything was not as simple as he thought.
It could be said that he just happened to encounter it if it was the first time he appeared at the crime scene.
But the second time, the third time, the fourth time, and even the tenth time?
He couldn’t always explain that he was just passing by.
He wasn’t Sherlock Holmes and would encounter murder cases every time.

So, Lin Neng should think of a way to clear his name.
Meanwhile, inside the police station…
Several senior detectives from New York City were watching the surveillance video of the red bar yesterday.
They watched it countless times, but they didn’t get tired of it. They watched it over and over again.
1
From five minutes before Peter’s death to five minutes after his death.
They had watched the video hundreds of times.
Suddenly, an old detective in his forties raised his hand and shouted, “Stop!”
The technician immediately pressed the pause button.
“Rewind it by seven seconds!” The old detective said.
“Slow it down by one-quarter of the speed!”
The technician immediately followed his instructions.
As if he had found something, the old detective continued, “Slow down to one-eighth of the speed!”
The old detective stared at the screen in front of him.
“Detective Evans, did you notice something?”
“Evans, what did you see?”
The other detectives were confused, but Evans didn’t answer them. His eyes were still staring at the monitor.
“Slow down by 16 times!”
“Slow down by 32 times!”
The surveillance camera of the red bar was not a high frame rate lens. It was already the limit to slow down to this extent.
They were watching frame by frame.
All of a sudden, detective Evans raised a hand and pointed at a location on the screen. he shouted, “Look here!”
Everyone followed his direction and noticed that in the place he pointed at, which was less than half a meter away from Peter’s throat.
A small and blurry black shadow flew past Peter.
Peter raised his hand and waved.
The small black shadow flew back.
This time, Peter’s expression instantly became in pain. He covered his neck with both hands, and blood flowed down his hands.

His entire body then collapsed on the sofa.
Seeing that, Evans gasped.
“If I’m not wrong… The cause of death is related to this black shadow!”
But here came the question.
What exactly was that black shadow?
Was it some new secret weapon?
Flying over and being able to fly back. The only weapon they could think of was the boomerang.
But that black shadow was too small, and there was only a blurry dot on the monitor.
It wouldn’t even be the size of a fingernail in reality.
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one could guess what the shadow was.
The image continued to zoom in. It was extremely blurry.
The lights in the bar were very messy. It was already good enough to be able to see the black shadow.
The case became difficult to solve.
Three days passed.
There were no new developments in the case. The New York police could only seal the files and temporarily drop the case.
According to their knowledge, it must be a professional assassin.
Logically speaking, the assassin would continue to commit crimes!
…
On the big bed of a five-star hotel, Lin Neng watched the news and heaved a sigh of relief.
The police had stopped pursuing the matter.
Perhaps the “Spear of God” had laid their hands on the matter. The organization had already infiltrated the police organization. Through a lot of operations, they were able to suppress the murder case.
Two hundred thousand dollars had already transferred to his account.
That was the Spear of God’s special account.
The flow of this money was untraceable by the police.
In an international metropolis like New York, two hundred thousand dollars was not much.
Buy a luxury car? The money might not be enough.
Buy a house?
Stop joking. How could anyone buy a house with two hundred thousand dollars?

Lin Neng planned to spend all the money on evolution.
He could transform into more animals and evolve stronger abilities. Only after he increased his strength could he accept more missions and earn more money.
“System, I want to evolve.”
The system immediately replied, “Host, would you like to evolve the Transformation Body No.1 Fly?”
“Yes.” Lin Neng nodded. Then, he asked in a puzzle, “Which part is the best for me to choose to evolve for now?”
Lin Neng still did not understand these evolutions.
Instead of messing around, he might as well ask the system to help him come up with ideas.
Perhaps it was because Lin Neng wanted to spend money in the system, the system’s attitude was friendly:
“Host, the answer to your question, with your current fund, if you want to evolve the fly, I suggest that you evolve your physique. Although your speed and strength have greatly increased, your vitality after transforming into a fly is weak. You will easily die if you are attacked.”
Hearing this, Lin Neng felt lucky that he asked.
Otherwise, when he transformed into a fly and was slapped to death.
It was not only the fly that would die but also him!
Lin Neng listened to the system’s suggestion and nodded repeatedly, “I’ll evolve its physique then!”
“Please choose your level. Currently, the host and the available level of choice are D-class and C-class.”
“C-class’s selective evolution-physique!”
“Alright, please wait for a moment!”
Suddenly, 200,000 USD disappeared from Lin Neng’s wallet. He had lost all his money from that mission.
“Ding Dong! Evolution begins!”
In an instant, Lin Neng was transformed into a fly by force.
