Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Xu Sangen and Xu Si exchanged a glance, knowing they couldn't hide it any longer.
"Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere, and once we get there... all your questions will be answered." Xu San pushed up his glasses and said slowly.
...
Soon, the group returned to the hospital, where a gaunt old man was lying on the bed. This old man was Xu Xiang, the father of Xu San and Xu Si.
When Xu Xiang saw Zhang Chulan arrive, he seemed to be in better spirits than usual, perhaps due to a sudden burst of energy before death. In his aged voice, he slowly unfolded a story about Feng Baobao's immortality before Zhang Chulan's eyes.
After a long time.
When Zhang Chulan learned about Feng Baobao and the story of how his grandfather entrusted him to Feng Baobao before he died, he fell into deep thought.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that he didn't know where to begin.
Zhang Huaiyi...
The Celestial Master's Mansion, the site of the Jia Shen Rebellion in 1944, and the current Celestial Master's junior brother...
From Xu Xiang's words, Zhang Chulan learned the true identity of his grandfather.
The Celestial Master's junior brother has quite an impressive background...
Just as Zhang Chulan was processing the information, Xu Xiang seemed to be on his last legs, only exhaling and not inhaling. Under Feng Baobao's lullaby, the former head of the North China region slowly closed his eyes.
"Father? Father!"
"Dad, wake up..."
...
A few days later.
Xu San and Xu Si were busy handling their father Xu Xiang's funeral arrangements, while Zhang Chulan stopped going to the special training villa and stayed in his dormitory, deep in thought.
ding ding-
As the phone rang, Xu Si, dressed in black, answered it.
"Okay, I understand. The data has been uploaded? Yes, I'll check it."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Si called out to Xu San, then found a power outlet at the funeral home, plugged his laptop into it, and connected to the company's intranet to check the data.
“Three people died: a sorcerer and two registered sorcerers. It all happened in the last two days in our jurisdiction,” Xu Si briefly recounted the events.
The two of them have been busy with Xu Xiang's funeral arrangements for the past two days, and have temporarily put aside matters at the company. If it weren't for the urgency, they wouldn't know about it now.
"What do you think?" Xu San asked.
Keep in mind that this is not a time of war, and these extraordinary individuals are not ordinary people. This frequency of deaths is highly unusual.
"Let's investigate, what else can we do... We can't just let it go unchecked, can we?" Xu Si subconsciously touched his pocket and found that he was out of cigarettes, so he gave up the idea of lighting one.
"We're both here now... should we let Bao Bao investigate?" Xu San instinctively thought of Feng Bao Bao.
“Baby…” Xu Si thought for a moment. Feng Baobao had been busy with them for several days. He felt it would be inhumane to ask her to investigate again.
Who else?
Xu Si naturally thought of someone—a capable person he could trust, who currently had nothing to do…an idle person.
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and dialed the number.
Chapter 36 So he was just a nobody! (Second Update)
Zhou Fengliu has been quite free these past few days.
Very free.
Ever since Zhang Chulan questioned Feng Baobao that day, he has stopped coming to the training villa for special training. Feng Baobao and Xu San and Xu Si are also not at the branch office, seemingly busy with something.
This made Zhou Fengliu very comfortable at the branch office, working on time and leaving on time.
What a beautiful day!
During his lunch break, Zhou Fengliu lay on a worn-out sofa, gazing at the azure sky outside the branch office and sighing at the comfort of his life.
What a beautiful day...shouldn't we go out and have some fun tonight?
Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin; it seemed like he hadn't talked about life and ideals with the female technicians for several days.
I'll go after get off work... that's a great decision.
Before he could decide which place to go, a call came in on his cell phone. Seeing him pull out his newly bought "far ahead" phone, glance at the contact, and see it was Xu Si, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Fourth Brother..."
"Well, Xiao Zhou, Xu San and I have been busy lately, and we have a task that needs your investigation," Xu Si said on the other end of the phone.
"Task?"
“Yes, several superhumans have died in the area recently... After thinking it over, you are the most suitable candidate.”
"Is there a bonus?" Zhou Fengliu asked.
"No...the matter hasn't been investigated yet, and there's no information on the company's intranet...just consider it helping your brother out," Xu Si said.
“Since Fourth Brother has spoken up... then I’ll investigate.” Zhou Fengliu said.
"Okay, I've sent you the information. If you need any of the company's employees, just come and get them..." Xu Si gave Zhou Fengliu some authority before hanging up the phone.
"okay..."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fenliu used the company computer to check the information. After reading the information, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
This database only has information about the deceased... there are no interpersonal connections, so how can we investigate?
Zhou Fengliu thought about it carefully again, and he marked the locations where these extraordinary people died on the map and connected them together, and a triangle appeared on the map.
"Let's go take a look here first," Zhou Fengliu said, stroking his chin.
Although there was no bonus for this task, he was fortunate to have some spare money. After paying rent, buying a mobile phone, and supporting the service industry, he still had about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan left out of his 100,000 yuan. It wasn't much, but it was enough.
...
After lunch break, Zhou Fengliu began exploring the area where the three supernatural beings had been murdered. To call it exploration... he was more like just strolling around.
This is an old town area in the city. In the bustling metropolitan area, this old town area is inhabited by some elderly people and young people who rent rooms. Although the living environment is average, the price is low.
"Grandpa, have you seen any suspicious people lately?" Zhou Fengliu asked an old man who was sunbathing by the roadside.
"Who are you talking about?" The old man was fanning himself when Zhou Fengliu spoke up, and he answered him.
"A suspicious person."
"What's suspicious?"
"People, unfamiliar faces."
"What face?" The old man, perhaps hard of hearing, kept asking Zhou Fengliu.
"..."
“A stranger who seems suspicious is not defined by their face.”
"who?"
"Grandpa, you should rest." Zhou Fengliu gave up, realizing that talking to the old man was much more difficult than talking to Xia He.
"Okay, sure." The old man heard this clearly.
"?"
Okay, okay...
If I stop asking, I'll suddenly stop being hard of hearing, right?
Zhou Fengliu shook his head and continued to wander around the area near the three victims. During this time, he ate a bowl of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), drank a pot of black tea, and even ate an ice pop. Before he knew it, it was almost time to get off work.
Seeing that he had checked the time, he thought to himself, "This murderer is really good at hiding; we can't find him even now."
I have to come again tomorrow...
The old town has a lot of delicious food. He said he was full today, but tomorrow he was determined to have a three-hundred-round battle with that braised pork.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was watching him.
Is it an illusion?
Zhou Fengliu glanced around and found nothing unusual.
That's it.
Even if there are any abnormalities, let's talk about it tomorrow.
Zhou Fengliu chose to leave. He hadn't gone far when he became disoriented by the narrow streets of the old town. Before he knew it, the sky was gradually darkening, and he found himself in a dead end.
"So much Qi..."
Just as he turned to leave the alley, a simply dressed man exuding aura blocked Zhou Fengliu's path.
"Is this... just a lucky break?"
It's really weird.
The more he wanted to find this person, the less likely he was to find them. As it was almost time to leave work, the less he wanted to find this person, the more he would deliberately try to find them.
