Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 21 is all lies.
"Have you found out the identity of that champion from the Cloud Soaring Sect?"

In the bright office building, Captain Zhang walked side by side with a young woman in a smart uniform.

This woman's name is Li Mingmei, and she is currently the director of the Biaoyun Investigation Division of the Non-Natural Affairs Department.

She shook her head.

"No.

"That guy is too cautious."

"When he first verified the dream, he asked people to leave messages on the official Weibo accounts of some celebrities and companies, but these official Weibo accounts had a huge number of visits, so we couldn't determine which one of the visitors he was."

"Later we tried to identify him by his clothes, but he only wore consumer brands and had no limited-edition luxury items, so we couldn't pinpoint him."

"He never posts online, asks questions, or shows off."

"Whether in reality or in dreams, he doesn't leave us any clues."

Captain Zhang pondered for a moment.

"Um...didn't he wear a limited edition helmet before?"

Li Mingmei shook her head.

"That's a popular style online, and there are too many fakes of it."

"Some geniuses who can achieve extreme results in a certain field are idiots in other fields, while others are equally difficult to deal with in other fields."

"But he's not the main focus right now, so there's no need to rush."

As they were talking, a young colleague walked towards her and gave her a report.

"Director Li, all three have been brought here, and the interview room is ready."

Li Mingmei nodded.

"I'll go talk to them right away."

……

Blah blah blah...

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down like a waterfall.

In the study, Wu Yun had just sent a video to the property management company to let them know he was safe when he looked down and continued eating watermelon. Half a watermelon sat on his desk, and he scooped it out with a spoon, finding it exceptionally refreshing and satisfying.

"I never thought watermelon tasted this good before."

"Hey, maybe I've been stuck at home for too long because of the heavy rain."

While he was eating, he saw another message from the property manager.

Good morning, Mr. Wu. Please take a look at this latest arrest warrant.

As before, if you see these criminals, get away from them as quickly as possible!

Wu Yun opened it and saw that there were four people on the wanted list.

All four faces looked familiar; they were four of the fourteen people he had reported yesterday!
"Has it already been found out?"

He showed the information on his phone to Captain Zhang and the others. After Captain Zhang and the others woke up from their dream, they matched the candidates based on their memories. After a successful match, they had to verify the information, and then go through layers of approval and procedures to issue arrest warrants. The warrants were then relayed through the community property management to every resident's mobile phone. This entire process was completed in just a few hours!

"What high efficiency!"

While sighing, Wu Yun subconsciously opened the "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" forum again.

But the most popular post was from the head coach again.

[Latest update: Fourteen people entered the Fruit Shop via the Biaoyun Path yesterday and became Celestial Officials]

Of these, seven have prior criminal records, three have been apprehended, and four are wanted by the police.

The other seven people are clean, but they have all been invited for questioning.

The replies below kept refreshing rapidly.

Holy crap, which department is in charge of this? Their efficiency is incredible, they're practically all-powerful, hahaha!

[Seven out of fourteen people have prior convictions. Isn't the probability of them being criminals too high?]

What's the deal with inviting someone for tea?

[Should we have a talk? Should we give them official positions?]

[@Head Coach, maybe after this conversation they'll become your boss, hahaha]

……

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down, but inside the conversation room, the lights were bright.

The newly appointed Immortal Official of the Cloud Soaring Peak, Wu Jun, is recounting his experiences.

"...The Liu family's teaching is indeed very good. After learning from them, I flew faster and faster."

"Later, after the Fruit Shop opened, I thought I'd go in and take a look."

Wu Jun, 48 years old, is from an urban village near Beijing and works as a small business owner selling cigarettes and alcohol.

As he spoke, his eyes kept darting around, sometimes looking at the hot tea in front of him, sometimes at Li Mingmei sitting opposite him with a smile, sometimes at the young man sitting next to him taking notes, and sometimes at the men in suits standing on either side of him.

Judging from the builds of those two men in suits, they're probably bodyguards. "Once inside, um... the palace looked big, but it was quite spacious inside."

"There's a small room at the very back of the palace, like a little convenience store."

"But that little shop doesn't sell bread or drinks; it only sells clouds."

At this point, Li Mingmei became interested.

"Selling clouds?"
"What's the meaning?
Please explain in detail.

Wu Jun pondered for a moment.

"Well, there are all sorts of cloud models on the shelves, red ones, yellow ones, black ones."

"The names are all different; some are called 'Burning Clouds,' some are called 'Auspicious Clouds,' and some are called 'Qilin Clouds.'"

"They are all different sizes; some are as big as a head, and some are as big as a fist."

"The prices are all different, with the cheapest costing a few yuan each."

I didn't notice the most expensive one.

"I had five yuan in prize money, so I bought a cheap auspicious white cloud."

"This cloud can bring dreams out of the world and into reality."

"I tried it inside the house, and it really can fly!"

He hasn't gone for an interview yet.

Because it was also raining heavily in the capital, he couldn't fly in the rain.

At this point, Wu Jun stretched his back and legs on the sofa in the interview room, shifting to a more comfortable position.

He glanced at Li Mingmei sitting opposite him again… This little girl wasn't very old, about the same age as his daughter. His daughter failed the civil service exam, probably because she was squeezed out by someone like this, right?

But then Li Mingmei suddenly asked a question.

"What were the Liu family members doing inside the Fruit Shop when you entered?"

Wu Jun was stunned for a moment.

"Inside... we're having tea."

"Didn't he/she pay attention to you?"

"He...he didn't pay any attention to me..."

"You didn't even acknowledge them?"

"I...I didn't pay attention to him..."

At this point, Wu Jun suddenly stopped talking.

I said the wrong thing!

It's normal that the Liu family ignores him.

But his ignoring of the Liu family is clearly unreasonable.

But then Li Mingmei chuckled.

"Uncle Wu, don't be so nervous."

"We just want to get to know you, verify your cloud-riding ability, and see what kind of position would be suitable for you."

"You can tell us if anything happens."

"We will never harm you. We will do everything we can to stand by your side. We will always be your strong support."

"do you understand?"

Wu Jun paused for a moment, then stammered.

"I...I promised the Liu family that I would transfer all the bonuses I receive to them from now on."

"I have no choice but to agree!"
"They are immortals, very strong, and they also have immortal artifacts, such as flying swords. They are blocking the entrance of the convenience store. If I don't agree to their demands, I will never be able to go in and buy the cloud."

"If I agree to their offer, at least I can buy a cheap cloud."

Li Mingmei showed an "I see" expression.

After chatting for a while longer, I said goodbye to Wu Jun and left the room.

In the hallway, a colleague was already waiting, holding the conversation records of the other two people.

Li Mingmei took it and read it quickly.

Captain Zhang, standing to the side, asked with concern.

"So? Do their testimonies match?"

Li Mingmei pondered for a moment.

"Consistent".

"But all three of them lied."
