"Are you full? If not, I'll ask Baba and the others to make some more."

In Tianying Restaurant, Liu Yonglu looked at the two children opposite him like a competent old father.

Xiaohu patted his belly to show that he was full, while Ling'er tilted the bowl with one hand and scooped the last bit of soup at the bottom of the bowl with a spoon with the other.

"I am full."

Xiaohu's voice was still dry, whether he was happy or unhappy.

It has been a week since Liu Yonglu returned to New Newland. His daily schedule is very fixed. He gets up in the morning to prepare breakfast for his family of four, and then accompanies Millie Tang to work in the Special Event Investigation Department.

Mi Li'er actually didn't really go to work. She just went to the archives room to look for some information and then went to the study in the basement to prepare various things.

Time travel is no joke. Even with the stone tablet spell provided by Ling'er, Millie Tang still needs to make preparations in all aspects.

After returning from the Investigation Department, the two children should have finished their breakfast. After Liu Yonglu cleaned up the dishes, he took the two children out to play and bought dinner.

I went to Tianying Restaurant for lunch at noon, and then wandered around in the afternoon until it was time to pick up Mi Li'er from get off work.

When Liu Yonglu walked into the Investigation Department with Xiaohu and Ling'er, he could see his two silk banners. Liu Yonglu asked the director to move the oil painting of the family portrait to Millie Tang's house, and it was now hanging in the living room.

The investigation department was empty and sparsely populated, as most of the investigators who had explored the Lost Sea had not returned yet.

Several people from Shi Weitian also went about their own business.

Lin didn't even stay for a day after the celebratory banquet. He took the steam train back to his hometown. I don't know if he has found his childhood sweetheart now.

On the first day, Kogan put the things he fou'd at the Investigation Department. The next day, he applied for a carriage to take the things to the bank, and then continued to take the same carriage to the small town around New Nurent.

His sister, Ms. Myers, teaches in the town's school.

Marquette is the busiest. Liu Yonglu met him twice on the street two days ago. This guy was shopping in department stores with his female companions both times. And both times, he was with more than one female companion.

Carol and Yasmine were held up by the nobles of Mosesad. Banquets were held one after another, and everyone was busy trying to please the Grand Duchess of the Southern Continent.

"Bye, can't the seafood for dinner be so spicy? Ling'er doesn't like spicy food."

Xiaohu squeezed Liu Yonglu's hand and offered his opinion.

"Who said I can't eat spicy food? If witches can eat it, then so can I."

Ling'er made an unwilling defense.

"No problem, why didn't you tell me earlier! If you don't like spicy food, we can steam it and add some ginger and garlic sauce, and we can enjoy the original flavor of seafood."

Liu Yonglu went upstairs while chatting with the two children, and pushed the door into the familiar switchboard room.

"Ricky, you're here? Come and sit down. Have some of the puffs I bought yesterday."

General Norman folded the newspaper and invited the two children to have some snacks. He patted Liu Yonglu on the shoulder and pointed outside the door.

Liu Yonglu scratched the back of his head and followed the director to the study upstairs.

After entering the room, Norman was not ready to lobby Liu Yonglu to speak first.

"Master Chief, please don't persuade me. Mi Li'er and I have already discussed it. I will stay in the investigation department for another week, and then we will... hehe."

Going home and seeing the mother-in-law is Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang’s future plan.

But they had to inform the department before they left. The day after the celebration banquet, Liu Yonglu told Norman about this embarrassedly.

The general manager was a little shocked at first. After all, the couple were his two most relied-upon trump cards, so it was no problem for them to take a half-year vacation.

But... traveling through time and space, if something goes wrong, you may never see the person again.

Chief Norman was not only considering the work, he was also genuinely worried about the safety of the two people. During this week, the old man found various reasons to persuade Liu Yonglu.

Norman sat on the sofa and curled his lips bitterly:

"That you……"

“I will be back.”

Liu Yonglu's answer was very affirmative. In fact, he was reluctant to leave his buddies in Moses THAAD.

The reason why Millie Tang has been working so hard on her research recently is because Liu Yonglu hopes that the passage through time and space can be controllable and reused repeatedly.

"Then I feel relieved if you say so."

"Maybe next time we come back, there won't just be the two of us..."

Liu Yonglu scratched his head embarrassedly. General Norman was old and experienced, and he immediately understood what Liu Yonglu meant. It seemed that this guy had made progress with Millie Tang.

"The next witch must also agree to come to the Ministry to help out occasionally."

General Norman deliberately put on a stern face.

"That's not necessarily true... maybe she's inheriting her father's business..."

Liu Yonglu thought to himself, how do you know that Millie Tang must give birth to a daughter? What if it's a boy? But then he changed his mind and thought that a daughter would be nice too. His mother liked daughters the most. It's a pity that she gave birth to him in the end.

General Norman didn't understand what Liu Yonglu was saying...

The son follows in his father's footsteps, so he becomes an investigator like you? He doesn't know that Liu Yonglu has another job.

“By the way, Ricky, I won’t advise you anymore.

Normally, you and Millie Tang have just returned from the Lost Sea, so I shouldn't bother you to deal with special events.

But you have seen the current situation in the department. Most of the investigators have not returned from the Lost Sea, and we are really short of manpower.

There is a case for you to take a look at first. If you are interested, please ask you and Millie Tang to come over.

If it's too tiring, I'll wait for Lindbergh, Kogan and the others to come back and let them take a look."

Chief Norman's words were indeed a bit unconvincing. No matter from which angle, it was a bit inappropriate to trouble Richie and Millie Tang at this time.

The couple just came back! And they had experienced a thrilling overseas adventure. It's not a human thing to bother them now!
"Oh, sealing the box... I understand. There should indeed be a sealing box."

Chief Norman didn't understand what Liu Yonglu said again, but looking at Ricky's expression... he probably didn't mind.

General Norman handed over the brown paper file bag in his hand. Liu Yonglu took it out and took a look at it:
"Master Chief, this is it! We will take this job together."

Why did he agree so readily? Because at the beginning of the file there was a line of words written: "Miskatonic University Student Missing Case".

The University of Michigan, this is a place Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang also wanted to go.

First of all, Liu Yonglu was going to meet his father-in-law. Millie Tang's old house was built inside the University of Michigan.

Secondly, Millie Tang also placed the time-travel ceremony at the University of Michigan. In Millie Tang's words, the University of Michigan is a place with strong mystical energy. She once suspected that there was an unknown ritual array somewhere in the University of Michigan.

So, it doesn't matter if you drive one sheep or let two sheep go. There is no need to worry about too many debts, and there are no need to worry about too many lice biting. Liu Yonglu agreed immediately.

Norman had never expected Liu Yonglu to be so easy to talk to, and he quickly encouraged him. However, after he finished his words of encouragement, the old man still felt distressed and couldn't bear to leave Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang:

"Ricky, you said...after you two left..."

"Bah bah bah."

Liu Yonglu quickly waved his hands:
"How unlucky! It's not like we're going to die! What's called leaving? That's called temporarily taking up a position."

"Well, after the suspension, what should the Shi Weitian team do?"

Liu Yonglu lit a cigarette:
"Don't worry about it. Although we have temporarily left our revolutionary posts, the fire has been left behind. Kou Gang is very powerful now. This guy has fast hands... No, his brain is also very fast. He has trained it.

Besides, you know my eldest disciple Shani very well who he is. Even seven or eight ordinary followers of the clan cannot get close to him!

Although he spends most of his time as the manager of Tianying Restaurant, as long as you need him, he can be called over just like sending a grain of rice.

The one I am most proud of is Andreas. Even though his legs and feet are not very useful, he has a lot of these in his mind.

You are getting a great bargain. I chatted with him a few days ago and he happened to be planning to stay in Moses Sader for some time and needed a place to stay.

This benefit cannot be allowed to outsiders, please be polite to him, for the sake of Shi Weitian and other acquaintances, you must not be vague. "

Liu Yonglu's few words reassured General Norman.

The old man nodded slightly. Indeed, just as Ricky said, he and Millie Tang were not going to come back. During the time when they were away, these people were also doing the same:
"Okay, Ricky, I feel relieved when you say that.

You and Millie Tang still have a week left in the investigation department. If there are other investigators you like, you can give them some advice.

I won't waste your time. Go to the basement to find Millie Tang."

Director Norman stayed in the study to find something else, and Liu Yonglu came out alone with a file bag.

Just when Liu Yonglu was about to take the two children to find their aunt, he saw an investigator walking towards him in the corridor. The other party kept staring at him, and it was obvious that he was waiting for him and had something to say.

"Captain Ricky, you're not busy, are you?"

Sure enough, the man walked up to him, took off his hat and bowed respectfully.

This man is not tall, about fifty years old, bald, with a fat round head, thin eyebrows and small eyes.

Liu Yonglu had a slight impression of him, as he had seen him before, but he couldn't remember his specific name.

"My name is Kenneth Hoffman. You may have forgotten."

This guy was quite good at dealing with things. When he saw the puzzled expression on Liu Yonglu's face, he introduced himself first.

"Oh, hey, it was just on the tip of my tongue, I didn't think of it."

It's not that Liu Yonglu didn't remember him, he just didn't know such a person at all.

“I’m an investigator who just came back recently. You may not know that the investigation department was short of staff some time ago, so Sir Gregory called us back.

It's a temporary job, just a few months."

Liu Yonglu blinked his eyes. Until now, he still didn't know what Kenneth wanted to talk to him about.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Liu Yonglu also handed the other party a cigarette.

Kenneth was flattered and quickly took the cigarette and lit one for Liu Yonglu with his lighter:
"Captain Ricky, your name is really well-known. I heard about it from several old friends before I returned to the Investigation Department.

It is said that the Investigation Department has recently introduced a new young talent who not only has outstanding abilities but also extraordinary leadership. Your Shi Weitian team has become the ace of the Investigation Department in a short period of time!
After returning this time, I heard that you conquered the forbidden area of ​​the Lost Sea, and even Prince Andrew personally awarded you the Gold Cross Medal."

This guy... there is no one who doesn't like to be flattered, and Liu Yonglu is no exception. Listening to the flattery from the little bald guy opposite him, Liu Yonglu's mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head.

"Well, it's all thanks to the good leadership of the Chief Elder and Sir Gregory."

Liu Yonglu pretended to be humble.

"Captain Ricky is a role model for the Investigation Department."

Kenneth gave a thumbs-up and then got down to business:

“As for me, although I haven’t been an investigator for a long time, I still have some experience.

This time Sir Gregory invited us back and paid us accordingly.

But in recent days, no one in the investigation department has assigned us any tasks. I have nothing to do and can only stay in the lounge or the archives room and read some past mission reports.

But... this is not a good thing to continue. The old lord called us back to work. I am not at ease with the money I receive if I stay in the ministry all day long."

Liu Yonglu touched his chin and thought, is this guy thinking about something? Can't he just take the money without working? Why does he have to go out and risk his life? Is he so responsible?
"Then tell me...what do you want to do? I'll help you see."

Chief Norman just instructed Liu Yonglu to give guidance to other investigators during this period of time.

Since there was an active person in front of him, Liu Yonglu didn't mind finding something for him to do.

"Do you have any... mission..."

Liu Yonglu noticed that the little bald guy Kenneth spoke in a lower and lower voice, and his eyes were full of mischief.

"What kind of mission? Please explain it clearly."

Liu Yonglu is definitely prepared to do the job at Michigan University himself, and he will have to ask Oliver about the other tasks later.

"It's... Mr. Kogan... the kind of mission he carried out before..."

"Korgon performed a lot of missions, but most of them were hand jobs, which you can't do!"

Liu Yonglu still didn't understand what the man in front of him was trying to do.

“It was a few days ago, at the celebration party.

I was sitting far away at the time, and I heard... I heard... Mr. Kogan say that he was on such-and-such an island, covering for you.

The islanders were all pagans, and they just... wanted to seduce Mr. Kogan... and then you arrived too late.

Just, that kind of mission."

Liu Yonglu held the cigarette in his mouth and forgot to take it out to flick the ash for a long time. He kept staring at Kenneth opposite him.

"Captain Ricky, please don't look at me like that. It's embarrassing."

Liu Yonglu thought to himself, you still feel embarrassed! There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Good fellow, it turns out that this guy was planning to take advantage of this:

"I see, I see, you just want to see the naked one?"

"Shh! Captain Ricky! Keep your voice down!"

Kenneth looked around with a sly look, and then nodded ambiguously at Liu Yonglu.

"Okay, okay, okay! What a coincidence!

It just so happens that there will be a mission tomorrow, which is exactly this kind of mission. You, wait for me at the entrance of the investigation department tomorrow morning."

"And I shall go with you?"

When Kenneth heard that Liu Yonglu agreed, he rubbed his hands excitedly.

"No, no, no, two people can't do this kind of work together.

These are all individual Lu'er! Act independently, you go, be careful, I will pick you up when the opportunity arises."

Liu Yonglu patted Kenneth on the shoulder.

Kenneth thought about it and realized that this was indeed true. It would be awkward for two people to do this kind of thing together. It would be better for one person to do it alone.

"The task is arduous, do you have confidence?"

"Don't worry, Captain Ricky, leave it to me!"
