Chapter 118 Serial Killer

Qian Sen showed a look of astonishment, watching Li Chengxi, who was sitting quietly, suddenly jump twice on the spot.

What? You want to go to heaven?

So sometimes it’s not good to concentrate too much. Li Chengxi didn’t even hear the doorbell ringing.

Or maybe the battery simply needs to be replaced.

"Nothing, just sitting for too long, got up and moved around."

Li Chengxi picked up the teacup to ease the embarrassment. It was so embarrassing that he suddenly had the urge to crawl under the cash register.

He quickly changed the subject:

"Well, aren't you in the office lately because of an injury? Why are you here?"

As soon as Qian Sen finished speaking, before he could answer, he heard two people dressed as policemen behind him say:
"Comrade Qian Sen, are you familiar with Mr. Li?"

"no!"

Qian Sen stood at attention reflexively, seeming to be extremely nervous.

"We just met not long ago. At that time, a time traveler came to his house. Later, because of the haunted house incident, thanks to Mr. Li's help, I was able to notify the backup in time. Mr. Li saved my life, so he acted more familiar with me."

Li Chengxi looked at Qian Sen in confusion. Why did he feel like he was going to be tortured?
"These two policemen, uh..."

Suddenly remembering that those who came with Qian Sen should also be from Section 9, Li Chengxi didn't know how to address them.

"It doesn't matter. We all have identities in the police system. If Mr. Li feels that the title of police is appropriate, it's okay to call us police."

"Okay, these two police comrades are...?"

Qian Sen quickly said:
"These two are comrades from the General Administration."

"Headquarters?"

The headquarters of the nine departments?

No, what's going on?

Didn’t I just sell a bottle of potion?

I see there are quite a lot of people selling potions on the forum. Will the headquarters send someone directly to me because of this?

Li Chengxi suddenly panicked. It was like when you didn't provoke anyone, but suddenly one day you received a notice that you were being investigated by law enforcement across provinces...

"Mr. Li, please don't be nervous. We just want to ask you some questions. Our purpose here has nothing to do with you directly."

Aren't you looking for me?

Li Chengxi felt a little relieved:
"What do you need to ask?"

"Please give us a detailed description of how Comrade Qian Sen was injured a few days ago. Any details will be helpful to us."

That's it?

Wasn’t a statement taken at that time?

Why did the General Administration send someone to ask again?
Li Chengxi had more and more question marks in his mind, but when he saw Qian Sen nodding vigorously beside him, he still said:

"No problem, it's just that after a few days I may not remember the details clearly..."

He told the two people from the General Administration how Qian Sen was discovered and how the aftermath was dealt with after the Ninth Science and Technology Bureau's troops arrived.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Li."

As Li Chengxi was talking, they were writing things down in their notebooks, and they seemed to be very serious about it.

"Excuse me, regarding the time traveler in your house, has Miss Alday returned?"

"Yes, I just took away some clothes and snacks... Is this also against the rules?"

"No, no, no, it's okay, we're just checking."

Then the two looked at each other and said to Qian Sen:
"Comrade Qian Sen, please explain the situation to Mr. Li. We need to report to the General Administration immediately."

"Of course no problem, I guarantee to complete the task!"

"I'm sorry to disturb your normal life, Mr. Li. I wish you a happy life."

After saying this, the two of them turned around and walked out, as if they were about to leave.

When Qian Sen saw them leave, he immediately looked at the surveillance screen at the cash register. Seeing that the two people were really walking farther and farther away from the surveillance, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on? Suddenly two people from the General Administration came. Your immediate superior?" Qian Sen took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, chewed it vigorously as if to vent his anger, and then said:
"My boss had to squat, which scared me to death."

"Not that much."

"You don't know, the people in the General Administration are just like the fucking Jinyiwei."

Chanson explained:
"Let me put it this way. You recently sold a bottle of potion and made over two million. So, if I take advantage of my position, I don't have to do anything else but ask you for a kickback. How much do you think I can make from the area I'm in charge of?"

"Um... you want a kickback?"

"No! I was just making an analogy!"

Qian Sen was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He quickly turned around to look, fearing that someone from the headquarters might hear him.

"Don't talk nonsense. You can't use this to test officials. It will affect their careers in the future."

This line sounds familiar, I think I've seen it in "Wulin Wai Zhuan"...

"As you know, the work of our nine departments is basically impossible to be announced to the public, so there is no external supervision and we can only monitor internally. If it's just a matter of taking a few bucks, it's fine. But if someone takes money to spread contraband or causes a bigger mess, it's not something that can be solved by just executing someone."

"Those two people are equivalent to the Disciplinary Inspection Committee?"

"Almost. But the bad news is that you don't know who is in charge of internal monitoring at headquarters. Even the people at headquarters don't know."

No wonder they say he is like the Imperial Guards.

"You haven't done anything illegal, so what are you afraid of?"

"It's not a matter of not being afraid of ghosts knocking on your door if you don't do anything wrong. That's really scary."

Qian Sen added:
"For example, do you remember the guy I told you about who married the harpy?"

"Remember, I saw that guy asking for a kidney-tonifying recipe on a forum not long ago."

"The person in charge of him at the time was my old boss who brought me into Section Nine. When that guy married the harpy, he even invited us."

It is indeed worth inviting someone. It is no different from being a matchmaker.

"After the wedding banquet, someone gave me two bottles of wine before I left. My old boss didn't think too much about it at the time and accepted it after a few excuses. Guess what happened? A few days later, I was taken away by the General Administration for investigation. The two bottles of wine together cost less than 500 yuan."

"Is this okay?"

"The reason given by the General Administration is that if you dare to accept alcohol from the public today, you will dare to ask for more from them tomorrow, and you will dare to extort them the day after tomorrow. This kind of atmosphere is unacceptable."

"Forehead……."

There seems to be nothing wrong with what he said.

"In our line of work, although we get the same salary as civil servants, you know the work schedule is unstable and very tiring. It's not surprising that some people think I'm working like a slave to make a fortune, so the General Administration's scrutiny has always been very strict."

Because Section 9 was too down-to-earth, Li Chengxi never felt that it was a secret organization.

But this is an illusion. The Ninth Department is lenient towards the masses and will say anything as long as things don't get out of hand. But it is very strict internally.

After all, if there is corruption within, the entire order will collapse.

"What happened to your old boss?"

"I heard he was transferred to another area. I guess there is no hope for promotion."

So miserable.

This has little to do with whether you are an official or not. At least when you retire in the future, your pension will be very different from that of others.

"Okay, I understand. Then why did the people from the headquarters ask me about what happened a few days ago? Didn't I tell you everything?"

"They just came to confirm the situation with you. The previous incident is related to a major national case."

"Fuck, it's so serious? Nationwide?"

"There is an unidentified guy who has been using supernatural powers to commit crimes all over the country. I don't know much about the details, and I can't tell you in detail even if I know. Anyway, the General Administration believes that the grandson may be lurking in our city, so they sent people to investigate. If you see anything strange recently, don't touch it out of curiosity. It's best to call me on WeChat immediately. The grandson has killed people on his hands. It's very dangerous."

"Can you catch him?"

"I can only say that I tried my best. After all, I have caught this bastard before, but he escaped two or three times. Don't worry, he has never attacked anyone in the circle. Anyway, you should be more careful in the near future."

Qian Sen bought a pack of cigarettes from Li Chengxi:
"I also have to notify other people in the jurisdiction. Contact them anytime if anything happens."

After saying that, he left, leaving Li Chengxi a little panicked.

This is equivalent to the police telling you that a serial killer is running near your home. Anyone would panic.
