I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 343 Antique Shop, Steaming!
Although they couldn't see each other, the policemen all started their actions tacitly.

It always takes some time for people's eyes to adjust to the darkness suddenly, but many plainclothes officers present go to work every day and are familiar with the internal structure of the room.

Even if he can't see, he can skillfully bypass all obstacles and get to the designated location to throw his fist.

Soon the cursing at the scene turned into screaming.

It is dark now, and we should seek revenge if we have grievances to seek revenge.

Su Fan saw it clearly and couldn't help but click his tongue.

These policemen are really ruthless, but it’s no wonder. They have been dealing with criminals for many years and they know best how to deal with bad guys.

"What's going on? Are they rebelling again?"

Tom was totally confused.

"They did start to resist, but it was the police."

Tom immediately understood what had happened and felt relieved.

From time to time, he could hear cries of pain, which made him feel extremely happy.

You were so aggressive and bullying before, why are you not so arrogant now?
But problems also arise.

"Did they all get on? Didn't Mr. Albert stop them?"

"Albert?"

Hearing Su Fan's somewhat puzzled tone, Tom began to explain.

"He's the one who appeared to be calm and restrained before."

"If the Albert you're talking about is the one I was talking to earlier, he's now performing a powerful whip kick on the head of the fallen fat guy."

"..."

The teenagers and their parents were beaten so hard that they screamed and soon ran out of the police station crawling.

The lights in the room came back on, and Tom saw the policemen who had previously thrown heavy punches but now returned to their original positions and pretended nothing had happened.

But I have to say that their acting was pretty poor. Their shoulders even shook up and down obviously due to their rapid breathing, and they were obviously making large movements.

"Thank you for this. If you hadn't arrived in time to rescue us, we don't know how long we would have to endure them."

Albert first looked at the unshaven James, and while thanking him, a hint of apology appeared on his face.

The other party is clearly no longer a member of the police station, but he is still needed to save the situation at a critical moment...

"I'm used to it."

James let out a breath and put the baton in his hand on the table.

"Do you have any wine here?"

"here……"

Albert paused and looked at Chavez on the side.

The latter swiftly took out a key, took out a bottle of whiskey from the bottom drawer of his desk, and handed it to James.

The latter opened the bottle, gulped down two gulps, and let out a long breath.

"That's it, bye."

After saying that, he was about to go out with the bottle of wine, but before he went out, he caught a glimpse of Su Fan's figure.

James retracted his steps, turned his head and took another look.

"Honest sir, have we met in the park before?"

This attracted everyone's attention. They turned around and saw that the mysterious young man who had left the police station earlier had returned here at some point.

And he was standing right next to Tom at the deepest point!
Everyone was quite shocked and didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Ah."

Ignoring everyone, Su Fan just nodded lightly.

When James saw the other party admit it, he became even more confused.

He walked out of the park and took a taxi to get here without wasting any time. There were very few red lights and no traffic jams.

The other party clearly left later, so why did he seem to have arrived earlier than me?
But soon he stopped worrying about it.

What does this have to do with him?

Thinking of this, he left the police station with the bottle of wine.

After watching the other person leave, Albert sighed and turned to Su Fan.

"When did you get back here, sir?"

"Not long ago."

Seeing that Su Fan had no intention of answering in detail, Albert did not continue asking.

"It seems that the situation has been perfectly resolved. I wonder how you will deal with that young man."

"We'll follow the normal process... There should still be some tea in the cup I used before, right? We'll just hand it over as important evidence when the time comes."

Su Fan said this and turned to point to the black goat wood sculpture placed not far away.

"and this."

"As for the remaining water, whether it is used by the lawyers or by the judge and jury is up to you to decide."

Su Fan also saw the young man when he came in. He looked like a hardworking and honest man.

In this case, there is no need for him to suffer unjust accusations.

"okay, I get it."

Albert nodded.

There is no current law that provides for the punishment of murder under curse, but with the magical clean water, the judge will take it into consideration when sentencing.

Don’t underestimate the word “discretion”; it can even mean the difference between a few years in prison and the death penalty.

Many policemen lined up and returned the talismans they had obtained from Su Fan to Tom.

During this period, Su Fan started communicating with Albert.

"Why did James just resign from the police department?"

"This is a long story... sit down first."

Albert invited Su Fan to leave and sit down in his office.

"Do you need something to drink?"

"No thanks."

Su Fan refused the hot tea handed to him by Albert.

Albert seemed to see Su Fan's curiosity about James, so he told him James' experience from beginning to end.

It turns out that James once had a very happy family.

My wife is virtuous and beautiful, and my son is obedient and cute.

He himself was also appreciated and paid attention to in the army.

It can be said that his life was perfect, but it was all broken by a carefully planned murder.

As a policeman, James's hatred of evil and extreme behavior led some cruel criminals to seek revenge on his wife and children.

The man tampered with the car his wife often drove when traveling, causing the vehicle to crash and both of them died in the fire.

After this incident, James never recovered.

He felt deeply guilty for not protecting his family as a policeman, and he voluntarily left the police station.

Having said this, Albert suddenly paused.

"The above is actually the version that everyone knows... In fact, there is a little hidden story. This is why I asked you to come into my office to talk."

"Oh?"

Su Fan raised his eyebrows.

Albert sighed and then slowly explained the whole story.

It turned out that James and his wife's relationship was in crisis during that period. The man next door passed away, leaving only his wife and daughter.

James is an enthusiastic person and he helps repair home appliances or other infrastructure whenever he has nothing to do.

After a few encounters, he fell in love with the widow and the two of them developed a relationship that should not have happened.

When James' wife found out, she had a big fight with him and that night she took her son back to live with her mother for a while.

James himself did not go out to look for them immediately, and only heard the bad news about his son and wife the next day.

"He felt that all this was a punishment for himself, so he kept indulging himself in it and was unwilling to come out..."

Having said that, Albert suddenly noticed a thoughtful look on Su Fan's face.

"Is there a problem? Could it be..."

"No...it's not a supernatural event..."

When Su Fan saw Albert's expression suddenly change, he knew what he was thinking about and immediately denied his idea.

"As for James's case, I can only say it is a tragedy and I feel sorry for it."

"Other than that, there is nothing else."

Albert didn't expect Su Fan to express sympathy for James.

Even though it was just polite talk, it represented a friendly attitude, which immediately made him feel that the young man in front of him was not so unkind.

Compared to the almost superhuman image he had first met and heard from Tom, the young man in front of him now finally had some meaning of being "human".

"Thank you for your act of justice for the innocent. If you don't mind, I want that young man to know your dedication behind the scenes."

Albert inquired.

"Well, of course you have to tell me. Otherwise, how can you explain where the clean water as evidence came from?"

"Really... I thought you didn't want to attract unnecessary attention..."

"It doesn't matter. I'm used to it."

Su Fan waved his hand.

It's not the first or second time that Su Fan has appeared in public in America. Even though he has moved to a new place, Su Fan is too lazy to hide like before.

"I thought……"

Albert hesitated to speak.

Isn't it said that superheroes generally don't want their true identities to be widely known?
It seems that the plots in superhero comics are not very realistic.

……

Under the gaze of many police officers, Su Fan and Tom left the police station.

This time, the two were finally able to return to their residence.

After opening the door, Tom immediately collapsed on the sofa, looking exhausted.

"To be honest, I have never felt that a day can be so fulfilling before or now."

Within two days, he followed Su Fan from one end to the other, resolving the incident non-stop.

Sasha's problem had just been solved, and on the way back he saw a murder.

While doing so, he taught the annoying Aunt Karen a lesson and went to different police stations to collect evidence.

Fortunately, Su Fan did not drag him along when he went to exorcise the demon for the last time.

"Is this your past life, Sue?"

"It's not that tiring. It's just that things just happened to come together."

When he was in America in the past, Su Fan didn't work around the clock. He always had a few days of rest in between.

But here in Britain, events seemed to be concentrated.

【No……】

It is more like an area that has not yet been cleared than a concentrated outbreak.

There have been incidents of evil spirits around Su Fan's antique shop, and he even experienced the arrival of the demon Baimeng.

It's just that he solved them one by one and finally cleared them up.

At this point, it is wrong to look at the world with the peaceful thinking of the previous life.

It should be said that this is a normal situation in London, which has never experienced large-scale exorcisms.

"I'm going back to bed. I'll see you tomorrow."

Tom lay there for a while before getting up and going to the bathroom to wash up.

However, Su Fan did not use the mirror to heal his soul trauma as he did before. Instead, he closed his eyes and kept recalling the image of James in his mind.

But what we got were scenes that looked like mosaics.

A smile appeared on Su Fan's lips.

【interesting. 】

He didn't pay attention to it when he was in the park before, but the second meeting in the police station allowed Su Fan to carefully check the situation of the man named James.

It was this one glance that made Su Fan discover that something was wrong.

James's face looks normal at first glance, which is consistent with what Albert said before, that he was married but his wife died.

But when Su Fan recalled the other person's face, he found that James' face had become blurred in Su Fan's mind.

Since practicing, Su Fan's memory and brain power have improved significantly, and he can even remember everything he reads.

But I couldn't even remember the appearance of someone I had just met less than half an hour ago.

This is interesting.

Generally, there are only two possibilities in this situation.

First, the other party possesses some special power that can block the outside world's deliberate detection of him and achieve the purpose of concealing himself.

But the existence that Su Fan cannot forget must be far stronger than Su Fan himself.

Obviously, James is just an ordinary person and does not meet this condition at all.

Second, there is something illusory and lacking in the other person's soul.

If a normal person loses any part of his three souls and seven spirits, his body and mind will become abnormal.

But there are also special beings who, even if they are defective and incomplete, can be no different from ordinary people.

So the question is, what exactly is James lacking, and why is he missing?
Su Fan thought of this and decided not to pursue the matter further.

He had only met the other person once, so there was no point in thinking too much about it.

If there is no problem, he will naturally live his life safely. If there is, those policemen with whom he has a good relationship will probably inform James of Su Fan's existence.

It won’t be too late to find out the cause in detail then.

Su Fan stretched, walked to the mirror and sat down cross-legged.

While repairing the soul, don't forget to check the system prompt messages in your mind.

The proficiency gained from killing high-level cultists is not very much. After all, many such characters have been killed in the Baimon Cult before, so it is nothing new.

The biggest gain this time was naturally the doll obtained from Darcy.

Tom has a strong uncanny valley effect when it comes to things that are too human-like, so he placed it in the living room.

Now it is turned off and lying quietly in the box.

This thing will be the antique shop's future security, so you have to keep a close eye on it.

Although Alice is good at fighting, how can we let the salesperson go out and fight and kill? That would be disgraceful.

These days, all high-end venues are equipped with advanced security.

Haven’t you heard of Country Garden’s five-star general?

Selling Alice, cleaning astrologer ghost, and security alchemy doll.

With these people, Su Fan can be at ease as his own boss.

His antique shop is booming!
