My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 196 Chaos, the more chaotic, the better!

Without the triggering conditions, the urn could no longer cause any trouble and could only lie quietly in the storage cabinet.

In order to observe it, Li Jiuhe simply opened the locker door.

He tried to store important things in the Morning Bell space, but he couldn't.

It's not that it can't be put in, but the Morning Bell Space is actually exclusive, unless it's a sequence item belonging to Li Jiuhe, such as a boundary stone or a death pass.

Or perhaps it's someone he trusts implicitly, such as Li Yi or Ma Li.

Otherwise, once inside, either they will be swallowed up by the Morning Bell Space, or the Morning Bell Space will be taken down by the other side; a winner and a loser must be determined.

This is the same experience Li Jiuhe had when he first entered the Morning Bell Space.

The original method used by the Morning Bell of the Second Seventh was to devour other sequence objects or sequencers in this way to complete its own evolution.

Several hours later, the plane landed at Dancheng Airport in Liuli Kingdom.

Dan City is not the capital of Liuli Kingdom and does not have a private airport, so Bo Mingyun's private plane had applied for landing permission at a public airport in advance.

Meanwhile, vehicles and police cars from the Dan City Special Incident Investigation Bureau, who had already received the notification, were waiting on the side of the airport runway.

As soon as the plane landed, Bo Mingjun and his fiancée Yue Ke'er were escorted out and put into the Investigation Bureau's car.

This case involves a collaboration between a serialized individual and an ordinary person, so the Bureau of Investigation will lead the investigation, with the police assisting.

However, a medical-grade morgue also roared into the airport; it was there specifically to pick up the wealthy businessman, Bo Mingyun.

When Bo Mingyun discovered his son and Yue Ke'er's misdeeds on the plane, he was initially furious, and even after he caught the two of them, his anger did not subside.

He had been racking his brains over raising his eldest son, Bo Mingjun, but now he had calmed down and thought that even if the guy was incompetent, as long as he was a decent person and didn't cause trouble for him, that would be fine.

But who would have thought that he would almost be killed by this son in the end? Bo Mingyun became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and he was in a terrible state.

Therefore, the housekeeper urgently contacted a sanatorium in Dancheng to prepare to send Bo Mingyun there for recuperation after landing.

Li Jiuhe and his group still used the rear cargo area entrance and did not show themselves in front of others. The car that picked them up was another black minivan with windows that were completely opaque.

After entering the van, Li Jiuhe handed the urn containing ashes to a bald, middle-aged man.

This man is the deputy regional supervisor of the Dan City Detention Center, and sitting next to him is a member of the Dan City Investigation Bureau.

With a smile on his face, the deputy supervisor inspected the urn to make sure it was intact, and then put it into a larger suitcase.

The leather case has a basic sequence pattern printed on its surface. Although it is not very complete, it is enough to suppress the sequence items.

Thank you for your cooperation!

The deputy manager extended his hand and shook hands with Li Jiuhe. "Where are you going? I'll take you there first."

Because the Kingdom of Liuli is right next to the Kingdom of Tianshu, the languages ​​of the two countries are not much different, except for some pronunciations and the meanings of a few words.

However, Dancheng is located on the other side of Liuli Kingdom, far from Tian Shu Kingdom, and the local language in this area sounds a bit strange.

If the deputy manager spoke even a little faster, Li Jiuhe would start to be completely lost.

Fortunately, Ma Li had an exceptional talent for languages, and she quickly mastered the local pronunciation of Dancheng, enabling her to act as a temporary translator for Li Jiuhe in the car.

Li Jiuhe handed a note to the deputy supervisor: "We're going to this place, thank you!"

The bald deputy director glanced at it and immediately nodded: "Hmm, I've been here before. It's an office of your Tian Shu Kingdom's Investigation Bureau. Let's go."

The van quickly drove to the address on the note.

They were supposed to arrive in Dancheng around 3 p.m. as planned, but because Li Jiuhe used a mission reset, the reset took a long time.

So when they left the airport, night had fallen and the city lights were on.

As for those waiting for them at their destination, nothing unusual was found; it was simply attributed to reasonable factors such as flight delays.

While in the car, Li Jiuhe checked the mission rewards for the "Blue-striped Lynx Incident" that had already been credited to his account.

The points increased by 1, and the slight increase in the probability of obtaining high-energy labels was realized.

原本他获得各种标籤的概率是劣质90%、普通8%、优质2%以及稀有的0%，如今已变为劣质88%、普通10%，至于优质和稀有标籤的获得概率则暂时没变。

The probability of obtaining a regular label has increased in the future.

Li Jiuhe's professional level also increased from 96% to 98%, and it felt like it would jump to 99% soon. Just as he had guessed, he was indeed a little short of advancing.

After driving for more than forty minutes, the car stopped in front of a building that looked old shortly after entering the city.

In this three-story building, the first and second floors were lit up.

There are only two security guards hired from Dancheng in the building, one responsible for the entrance and the other for patrolling inside the building.

Before Li Jiuhe and the others arrived, in an office on the second floor, an elderly man in his sixties with gray hair and a bald head was smoking a cigar and complaining.

"What's gotten into the General Administration this time? They suddenly sent some special envoy. Do they not trust my abilities, Xu Wanshou, or what? And how long has it been? Our office hasn't worked overtime in over a decade. Is this special envoy trying to intimidate us from the start? If I hadn't had a good run of luck at the casino yesterday and wasn't in a good mood, nobody would be willing to wait like this—"

This guy kept babbling on and on, never stopping talking.

The young male assistant standing next to him seemed to know his character, so he didn't say anything, but just looked up at the clock on the wall.

A short while later, his eyes lit up slightly as he looked out the second-floor window and saw a black minivan stop on the street.

The van looked somewhat familiar to the male assistant; it seemed to come from a nearby shelter. He quickly said, "It looks like—"

"They're here!"

"Yo yo, here you come!" The old man Xu Wanshou, who had been looking resentful, suddenly straightened up.

Fully revitalized from his half-dead state slumped in the boss's chair, he quickly went to the mirror and straightened his suit, which he hadn't worn in years.

In recent years, the old man has gained a lot of weight, and he can no longer button his suit jacket, so it has to be left open. Also, his arms are so constricted that he dares not raise his arms quickly, otherwise his armpits might tear.

The trousers also couldn't be fastened properly; they could only be held in place by a belt.

He glanced down at his gleaming pointed leather shoes, then strode quickly out of the office, saying, "Come on, let's go greet the special investigator! Keep smiling, don't look like someone owes you money."

"You, don't try to renege on your promise. I've written it all down in my little notebook," the assistant said.

"Hey, let's talk about those trivial things later, let's get down to business first." Xu Wanshou waved his hand and hurried downstairs.

The male assistant behind him rolled his eyes at the guy and then followed.

The moment Xu Wanshou saw Li Jiuhe, his face lit up with a smile like a chrysanthemum, completely erasing any trace of the resentful look he had just displayed.

He strode forward and grabbed Li Jiuhe's hands tightly: "Oh, special envoy, you must be exhausted after a long day on the plane! I've been waiting for you so long, and I'm so glad you've finally arrived!"

The assistant behind him felt a surge of nausea and almost vomited.

Li Jiuhe frowned. He could smell tobacco on Xu Wanshou, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol from a hangover.

It's obvious that this old man smokes and drinks, and he's usually unkempt. This suit looks incredibly strange on him.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Xu Wanshou, the head of the Tian Shu Kingdom Investigation Bureau's office in Dancheng. This is my assistant, Gao Shu, who is also the office's clerk."

"Is it just the two of you here?" Li Jiuhe asked.

Xu Wanshou nodded, then shook his head: "There are two of us stationed here permanently, but there are several other investigators on assignment. These investigators are on a rotating basis; sometimes they go back to their home countries for rotation. They travel to various cities in the Kingdom of Liuli and only come here occasionally."

Li Jiuhe then introduced his people.

At first, Xu Wanshou really thought they were a family, but after figuring it out, he hurriedly said, "Xiao Shu, go and help Investigator Li and the others bring their luggage in."

He then pointed to the third floor and said to Li Jiuhe, "Our offices and living quarters are all here. The first and second floors are mainly used for offices, and the rooms on the third floor are your living quarters. However, Xiao Gao and I are used to being lazy, so his living room is next to the duty room on the first floor, and mine is next to my office on the second floor."

Li Jiuhe nodded. In other words, only the three of them lived on the third floor, so there were definitely enough rooms.

"Investigator Li, you have no idea," Xu Wanshou said sincerely, "We are located on the edge of the Liuli Kingdom, and beyond that lies the Volcanic Continent. We are really short of manpower and funds. The fact that the higher-ups sent you here shows that they are starting to pay attention to our long-standing demands."

"I didn't come here with any funds," Li Jiuhe said with a smile.

"It's alright, as long as you can share the burden with us." Xu Wanshou nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, from now on, our Lao Xu, no, Director Xu, will have more time to delve into his hobbies."

"Gao Shu added from the side."

Xu Wanshou turned and glared at him: "You've been talking for so long, and you still haven't helped Investigator Li and the others carry their luggage upstairs! These young people nowadays, all they do is contradict the old folks. How many times have I told you, go and change that unlucky name of yours right now!"

"Whose fault is it that I'm unlucky? My name didn't offend you," Gao Shu retorted.

Li Jiuhe and Ma Li exchanged glances, sensing that although the office had few people, there seemed to be some hidden secrets.

After a conversation, Gao Shu led them up to the third floor, while Xu Wanshou followed them to the second floor but did not go any further. Instead, he quickly went into his room on the second floor.

He had just closed the door when Li Jiuhe and the others heard two thuds, the sound of pointed leather shoes being kicked off and hitting the floor, followed by a taut rubber band suddenly loosening and snapping back with a snap.

Then came Xu Wanshou's satisfied groan.

"Phew, that's finally comfortable! They almost strangled me, what the hell are these pants?!"

Gao Shu covered his mouth and chuckled, while Li Jiuhe and the others pretended not to hear, but they could better appreciate the eccentricity of the people in this office.

"Don't mind him," Gao Shu said frankly. "That's just how Lao Xu is. He's actually a very nice person. This place is big and there are fewer people, so it's different from working in a company back home. It's like being a family."

"I love this feeling," Ma Li said casually.

Two clean rooms on the third floor have been vacated; they were cleaned and furnished during the day.

Li Jiuhe and the other two had already eaten their fill on the plane, and since it was getting late, they didn't eat anything else.

After unpacking their luggage, Li Jiuhe had a room to herself, while Ma Li shared a room with Li Yi.

The layout of the house is very simple now, but after Li Jiuhe and the others have lived here for a while, various household items will gradually accumulate due to the entropy increase effect.

Li Jiuhe didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, he turned on the small desk lamp and started looking at the office files that Gao Shu had just brought over.

He first looked through the information on Xu Wanshou and Gao Shu.

Both of them work abroad most of the time.

Xu Wanshou worked as an investigator in China for a period of time in his early years. Later, for some unknown reason, he was sent to Liuli Kingdom and never returned.

His sequence ability is listed as "binding," without any specific description of the ability. This is basically how it is recorded in the investigator's file.

After all, this kind of thing is extremely confidential, and can be considered a secret that is a matter of life and death for everyone. If it were all made public, and someone saw his file, it could be fatal for the person involved.

Li Jiuhe suspected that Xu Wanshou's sequence line should be at least a silver line.

The assistant Gao Shu's sequence ability is also only two words—"processing," which is still very vague, and this seems to be related to his job.

Li Jiuhe guessed that the sequence lines of this high-level book were most likely just ordinary lines.

He then looked through the work that the office was currently handling.

This includes special cases that require joint handling with the investigation bureaus of Dan City and nearby cities, as well as cases sent from within the country for assistance (these are relatively few), and joint activities, training, and inspections organized by some special agencies in Dan City.

Among these, Li Jiuhe noticed that there was a special school for Sequencers, located in an area designated by the local investigation bureau, which accommodated all Awakened and Initial Sequencers from several surrounding major cities, including Dancheng.

He already knew before he arrived that his daughter, Li Yi, was going to study at this school.

Because the school teaches both the development of abilities in sequencers and the knowledge of ordinary schools.

The back of the file box also included an introduction to Dan City, as well as a general overview of the development of the Sequencers throughout the entire Liuli Kingdom.

Li Jiuhe studied these contents for a long time, until late at night.

He was deeply shocked after reading it.

Unexpectedly, the development and management of Sequencers in the entire Liuli Kingdom was much more chaotic than in the Tian Shu Kingdom. Local Sequence forces emerged one after another, and gangs of all sizes sprang up and disappeared like mushrooms after rain, never truly disappearing.

Surprisingly, the official investigation bureau here is not one of the most powerful faction organizations.

The sheer number of cases occurring daily is staggering. If all of them were investigated like in the Tian Shu Kingdom, the investigation bureau here would likely be paralyzed and unable to function at all.

Within Dan City alone, there are two powerful sequence organizations, and dozens of others that are slightly smaller.

The official investigation bureau has reached a certain balance with these organizations; as long as the cases are not too outrageous and target civilians, they generally hand them over to these organizations to handle themselves.

The Bureau of Investigation even has less prestige in the area than the two larger Sequence organizations. Sometimes, when there are Sequence conflicts that are difficult to resolve, the locals prefer to ask the two major organizations to handle the matter directly, rather than letting the Bureau of Investigation get involved.

As for the containment facilities in this area, they not only contain the Sequencers or Sequence Items sent by the Investigation Bureau, but also items sent by other Sequence Organizations in society.

They even set up a special agency to store and manage the items held by these social organizations, and charged a service fee.

Because there are so many and so frequent cases here, the Order Restorers here also repair social order much more often.

It automatically repairs itself almost every week, which makes the Order Rectifiers hold a higher status in the Glazed Kingdom than in the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom.

They have broken free from the official jurisdiction of the Liuli Kingdom and are firmly in the hands of those powerful organizations, some of whose leaders are even order restorers themselves.

Li Jiuhe closed the file and placed it at one end of the desk, muttering to himself, "This Glass Kingdom seems quite chaotic."

However, he had his reasons for arriving here. The state of order in this place was clearly within Tong Cheng and his group's considerations; it was better to be a bit chaotic.

Otherwise, some traces of Li Jiuhe would easily be exposed.

Li Jiuhe wasn't worried about the traces left behind domestically. He knew that the General Administration had investigators skilled at cleaning up all kinds of traces, and it would be easy to remove the traces they left behind.

It's simply a matter of being meticulous and not leaving any major flaws.

After reviewing the files, Li Jiuhe washed up and went to bed.

Having just arrived, he's been getting familiar with the situation for the past few days. There's not much work to do, so he can sleep until he naturally wakes up without anyone bothering him.

Tian Shu Kingdom, Capital Investigation Bureau.

Shao Gang, who was in the middle of a meeting, was called out. He frowned and looked somewhat displeased.

"What is it?"

The secretary looked nervous and whispered, "The Guan family from Xiongfengling has arrived."

"What are they doing here?" Shao Gang sensed something was wrong.

The secretary said, "They said they brought something for Investigator Tong, but Investigator Tong is out on a case and hasn't come back."

They just spoke with the bureau chief, who said, "You know this best; I've already handed it over."

"Where are these people now?" Shao Gang asked.

"I'm waiting in your office," the secretary replied.

Shao Gang nodded and said no more. He didn't go back into the conference room, but went downstairs to his office.

As soon as I entered, I saw Guan Qingtong, one of the elders of the Guan family, sitting imposingly in the main seat of the office sofa, glancing at me sideways without any expression, which seemed to be a bit like taking over the role of the guest.

Sitting next to Guan Qingtong were some of the second and third generation descendants of the Guan family.

Shao Gang had heard of all these people, and had even met some of them several times.

Even just those few members of the Guan family in the second generation, any one of them could be considered to be on par with him in terms of strength.

Shao Gang had already guessed the purpose of these people's arrival, but he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

According to the countermeasures secretly discussed by the senior management of the General Administration, the director has already transferred the matter to him for handling in accordance with the plan.

When Shao Gang entered, none of the people sitting there made a gesture of politeness, clearly indicating that they were not going to offer him a seat, and it felt as if they were there to interrogate him.

Upon seeing this, Shao Gang's secretary immediately ran to the side and moved a chair over, placing it behind him.

Shao Gang sat down, looking surprised, and asked, "Second Master Tong, your sudden arrival—is—"

Before he could finish speaking, an elderly man from the second generation of the Guan family threw a hand-painted scroll in front of Shao Gang, his face cold.

"Minister Shao, is this person an investigator from your headquarters?"

The scene slowly unfolds, revealing a lifelike hand-drawn portrait of Li Jiuhe.
