"Mr. Jiang, you see, there's only this one piece of surveillance footage, and it didn't capture the woman's face. I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult to identify her."
Niu Tao said to Jiang Feng with a bitter expression.
He adjusted the angle and zoomed in, but all he got was a blurry profile, and the female killer seemed to be wearing a mask, purposely concealing her identity.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Send me this video. I'll figure something out on my own."
Niu Tao was helpless and had to download the video to his phone and then forward it to Jiang Feng.
"Mr. Jiang, I can compare this profile against the facial recognition database, hoping to find some clues, but the time it would take is unimaginable. I'm afraid, by the time I find something, Mr. Zhuge might already be..."
"You've already helped me a lot." Jiang Feng patted Niu Tao's shoulder noncommittally, "You're exhausted; take a rest first."
Under Niu Tao's somewhat helpless gaze, Jiang Feng left the surveillance room straight away.
Soon after, Jiang Feng went to the interrogation room and found Situ Yan. After briefly explaining the situation, he said goodbye and went home.
"Jiang Feng, wait for me! How about I treat this case as a major case, issue a nationwide and even provincial wanted notice, to help you find this woman and Zhu Ge Yuheng?"
Situ Yan caught up from behind and said to Jiang Feng.
"No need, you continue with your work, I'll handle it myself."
After saying that, Jiang Feng walked straight out of the operation division.
...
At this time, the moon was bright and the stars sparse. It had been a whole day since Jiang Feng returned from the Provincial City in the morning.
Throughout the day, he was almost non-stop, but finally, he had some leads.
The one who attacked Zhu Ge Yuheng was actually a woman. Which group was she from?
So far, among the women Jiang Feng had come into contact with, the only ones related to martial artists or assassins were from the Demon Moon Alliance.
At the moment, Jiang Feng pondered for a while, then took out his phone and dialed Dong Ruyan's number.
...
Dong Ruyan, as one of Shangguan Wan'er's four personal guards, was among the few in the Demon Moon Alliance who could be equipped with a personal phone.
Of course, this was also related to her frequent need to go out on missions.
At this moment, Dong Ruyan was meditating and practicing in her room on Taihu Island.
Since she flew Jiang Feng to Ehe Airport last time, some time had passed.
Dong Ruyan was still very annoyed that Jiang Feng had publicly rejected the Fox Master's offer to join the Demon Moon Alliance as a tributor!
He gave no face at all.
After returning, Dong Ruyan had several times wanted to take the opportunity of going north on missions to find Jiang Feng, but Kong Guyoulan stopped her every time.
Kong Guyoulan knew Dong Ruyan harbored resentment against Jiang Feng but feared she might anger him, which would have the opposite effect and provoke Demoness's wrath!
Suddenly, the phone by her feet rang. Dong Ruyan picked it up and was slightly startled to find that it was a call from the very bastard she was most annoyed with?
For some reason, upon seeing Jiang Feng's call, Dong Ruyan, who thought she would coldly ignore it, was suddenly so agitated that her face flushed slightly!
Why was he calling her so late at night?
Always as cold as ice, unbelievably proud, her outstretched hand was even trembling slightly.
Dong Ruyan picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and then calmly answered, "Hello?"
"It's Jiang Feng."
On the other end, Jiang Feng succinctly said, "There's something I need your help with, or rather, your alliance's help."
"Jiang Feng, you must be kidding, right? The Fox Master personally invited you to be a tributor last time, and you refused. Now you want to ask for our help?" Dong Ruyan asked with a cold laugh.
"Dong Ruyan, this is a separate matter. If you like to talk nonsense, pass your phone to Demoness, and I'll speak to her," Jiang Feng said indifferently.
"You!"
Hearing this, Dong Ruyan stood up with a start, walked barefoot to the window, and said angrily, "Jiang Feng, do you have to be so overbearing when asking for help? Is this your way of requesting favors?"
"You get one chance, and I won't wait if you miss it." Jiang Feng said coldly, still unwavering.
Dong Ruyan was simply about to burst with anger!
That guy really was infuriating, as if the Demon Moon Alliance owed him when in fact, it was he who needed their help now?
Yet, she didn't dare anger Jiang Feng.
For, after that event, the Fox Master and Aunt Lan returned to the valley and stressed the importance of Jiang Feng, demanding that they seize every opportunity to mend relationships and further draw him into the fold!
As a lowly guard, she dared not defy the orders of the Fox Master and Aunt Lan.
"What do you need help with, tell me!" Dong Ruyan gritted her teeth.
"Have any of you been to Binhai recently on a mission?" Jiang Feng asked directly.
"No!" Dong Ruyan snorted. She wanted to go, but Aunt Lan wouldn't allow it!
"In a moment, I will send you a photo, see if you can help me identify the woman in it in the shortest time. If not, also let me know promptly."
After speaking, Jiang Feng hung up.
"Hey, hey?"
Dong Ruyan was stunned, called out twice, and almost threw her phone!
That guy, he didn't utter a single unnecessary word, did he really take her as a servant?
Thankfully, he didn't agree to be a tributor for the Fox Master at that time, or he'd act like a lord, dictating orders!
Soon, Jiang Feng sent the photo, which Niu Tao had transferred to him, to Dong Ruyan's phone.
Dong Ruyan looked at it carefully, feeling utterly helpless. With just a profile picture, how could anyone identify the person? It was like finding a needle in a haystack!
She angrily messaged Jiang Feng back: Wait for my update, I will consult the Fox Master and Aunt Lan and get back to you.
Then, she quickly left her room and rushed to Demoness's house.
As the Fox Master, Demoness's living quarters were naturally in the very center of Lake Heart Island, surrounded by enchanting scenery and supreme elegance.
At this time, Demoness was sitting across from Kong Guyoulan, discussing something. Upon seeing Dong Ruyan enter, she curiously asked, "Ruyan, why haven't you rested this late?"
"Fox Master, Aunt Lan, Jiang Feng just called me, saying he needs our help with something." Dong Ruyan reported truthfully.
"Young Hero Jiang?" Demoness and Kong Guyoulan exchanged a glance and quickly asked, "What did he say?"
"He sent us a photo, asking us to somehow identify the person in it, but that person only showed a profile and was wearing a mask!"
Dong Ruyan puffed up with anger, took out her phone, and showed it to Demoness and Kong Guyoulan.
The two took a careful look and both furrowed their brows.
Demoness seemed troubled and said, "In principle, Young Hero Jiang has done great deeds for our Demon Moon Alliance, saving us from dangers several times. Not only should we help, but also commit any resources for his aid. However, finding someone is not our strong suit..."
"He said that the person in the photo is a woman, likely a female assassin or a female warrior, and that she kidnapped one of his friends, which is why he needs to identify her."
Dong Ruyan said, "Approaching from this angle, perhaps we can identify this woman."
"I see, having a general direction makes it easier."
Demoness, relieved, said, "Tell Young Hero Jiang that I will spare no effort to help him identify her by tonight and will get back to him by the latest tomorrow morning!"
"Understood!" Dong Ruyan nodded, then turned back.
