Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

That's a fly?

Those were the poisonous bees he had carefully raised.

It is a terrifying entity that can easily poison pigs and cattle.

If an ordinary martial artist encountered this, they would undoubtedly die.

But you're saying it's a fly?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat He Li, Chang Wei would really want to ask He Li what he was pretending for.

However, the pain from having large chunks of flesh torn from his back was unbearable, so he didn't want to waste any more words. Unfortunately, He Li insisted on forcing him to continue talking.

"Tell me, what else do you know about Shang Qiuyun?"

"Is this some kind of Gu magic?"

"Did you teach Shang Qiuyun her Gu techniques?"

He Li asked, threateningly, "If you don't talk, I'll slowly tear your flesh and blood clean."

Upon hearing this, Chang Wei's eyes were filled with terror.

Such bloody and brutal methods...

Is this supposed to be an investigator?

Whose investigator is so ruthless? Chang Wei was now truly terrified. He quickly endured the pain and said, "Gu... Gu techniques were indeed taught to her by me."

"But about other things about her... I really... I really don't know much!"

All I know is that she was bullied at school.

"I have...had suicidal thoughts."

"I encouraged her to get revenge..."

"After all, I am a teacher, and I... I can't bear to see good students being bullied by thugs."

Huh? So this is how you become a teacher?

He Li and the other three were all shocked.

"Go on!" he said quickly.

Seeing this, Chang Wei continued, "After listening to my advice, she was eager for revenge, but the Gu technique takes time to develop... Later, she somehow learned about the existence of strange creatures..."

"She...she developed the idea of ​​using Gu magic...to raise monsters for revenge."

"She truly surpasses her teacher!"

"I never expected this to happen."

"The key is that after she disappeared and came back, it seems... it seems she actually managed to do something like that!"

It sounds like Chang Wei thinks highly of her.

"You probably know what happened next."

"She just left suddenly..."

At this point, Chang Wei added, "I didn't lie about her wanting to go to Fairy Shadow Bridge. After learning about the strange things, she heard that there were unusual events happening at Fairy Shadow Bridge."

So she went there.

"And then...and then he disappeared."

Huh? This is the truth?

Tap tap tap! He Li was processing the information he had just received when he heard footsteps outside.

When he looked up, he saw Deng Changfeng and his group panting as they came upstairs to find Chang Wei. Of course, they also saw He Li and Chang Wei, whom he had subdued.

They looked rather unwell.

Chang Wei was unaware of the situation.

Seeing more investigators arrive, he hurriedly cried for help: "They...they are investigators from out of town!"

"They have no right to enforce the law!"

"The key issue is that they also used excessive force against me."

"Look at me, this unarmed old man almost got beaten to death by them! You...you must be from Rongcheng, right? Then why don't you do something about him?!"

Chang Wei seemed to have grasped at a straw.

He roared in a hoarse voice.

Deng Changfeng and his men's expressions immediately turned even uglier.

"Shut up!!!" Seeing that Chang Wei was about to speak again, Deng Changfeng couldn't help but growl and scold him.

What right does he have? Does he dare?

Let's set aside their actual abilities for now.

It should be noted that He Li is currently under the scrutiny of Kyoto. If he dares to do anything to He Li, he will probably be forced to resign immediately. How could Deng Changfeng dare to interfere with such a person?

Of course, seeing Deng Changfeng's reaction...

Even if Chang Wei were stupid, he would have seen that something was wrong.

He turned to look at the smiling He Li...

He shuddered immediately.

"I...I didn't mean to...tell on you...I was just...I was just joking..."

He forced an extremely awkward smile.

He Li didn't mind. Although Chang Wei had some problems, he wasn't beyond redemption, so he simply withdrew his inspiration: "From now on, keep a low profile and behave yourself!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Seeing the power in his body disappear, Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed his head in agreement.

He Li then looked at Deng Changfeng and the others.

"What a coincidence, we've run into each other again?"

"Are you here to investigate a case too?"

"Then you can continue your investigation. We'll take our leave!"

After saying that, he smiled and used his spiritual power to carry Yu Ji and the others out of the window and away amidst the students' admiring gazes. Deng Changfeng and the others stared at their retreating figures, feeling furious.

"That stinky out-of-towner!!!"

"A petty person has gotten their way! A petty person has gotten their way!!!"

"Take your time investigating... If we could fly, we'd solve cases much faster than him!"

"Exactly, what's with the smugness?"

"But then again... wait a minute, how did he know to come here to ask Chang Wei to investigate the case, since he went to the nursing home later than us? And how did they get here so quickly..."

"It felt like we had just left when they immediately ran out and flew this way."

"Is Shang Qiuyun's grandmother no longer suffering from Alzheimer's?"

"This is...unbelievable!"

The team members behind Deng Changfeng were talking amongst themselves.

Deng Changfeng also found it strange.

However, now is not the time to ponder these things.

"Stop with the nonsense!" he said. "He Li has already taken the lead in our case. If he really solves the case we're investigating..."

"Then how can we make amends?"

"So, hurry up and ask Chang Wei."

"Get the facts straight regarding Shang Qiuyun!"

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

However, before they could even ask, Chang Wei had already collapsed and passed out.

This infuriated Deng Changfeng.

"No? What's going on?"

"What else could have happened?" His partner said helplessly, "He Li went too far. Chang Wei has lost too much blood and is in shock. We can't wake him up at all."

"He just managed to hold on entirely by willpower."

"But as soon as He Li left, he relaxed... and as a result, he immediately couldn't hold on and ended up like this..."

Upon hearing this, Deng Changfeng became furious.

"Damn it! That bastard!!!"

"Couldn't you go a little easier?"

"They're not even leaving us the slightest chance of survival?"

Seeing their captain's incompetent rage, the team members looked at each other, unsure of what to do. After all, the trail had gone cold with Chang Wei, and they had no other options.

As for He Li, after leaving Baitang County, they went straight back to Rongcheng City.

Because Fairy Shadow Bridge is located here...

"Xianying Bridge is located in the Martial God District."

"According to information circulating among tourists, the fairy-like figure can occasionally be seen there at night."

"Several suicides have occurred there, with people jumping into the river."

"The Chengdu Special Bureau also investigated that area."

"But we've confirmed there are no problems."

Back in the city, Yu Ji told He Li what she had found out about Xianying Bridge online, and also shared her own speculations about it.

"Although the investigators in Rongcheng aren't very capable, they're unlikely to make mistakes when it comes to confirming supernatural phenomena."

"So their results should be fine."

"It's possible... it was sabotage!"

"After all, according to Chang Wei, Shang Qiuyun probably met someone there and received a full year of help before she returned with supernatural powers."

"If the person causing the trouble avoids the investigators, of course the Rongcheng investigators won't be able to discover the problem."

Yu Ji actually has another meaning here.

He Li had also thought of that.

Back in Bacheng, Song Qinghe was able to use various incentives to lure investigators from the Special Bureau into revealing information to them; it's possible that something similar is happening in Rongcheng as well.

If the perpetrators were tipped off, how could the investigators who went to investigate possibly uncover the problem?

What about those cases of suicide by jumping into the river?

After a moment's thought, I asked why.

Yu Ji checked his watch and replied, "Aside from the two cases of suicide by jumping from the bridge into the river..."

"There were two more incidents, one of which occurred on the water."

"There's another one by the river."

"Investigative information shows that in both cases, the victims' companions said that the victims seemed to see something, then went into the water and died there."

"By the way, all of these things happened at night."

Having said all that...

Yu Ji continued, "Judging from the appearance, this criminal is likely skilled in water and also has the ability to bewitch."

"Otherwise, how would you lure someone into suicide?"

"But that would be a difficult problem to solve."

Yu Ji pointed to the river in front of him.

"The water under the Fairy Shadow Bridge is wide and very deep. If the criminal has the ability to move freely in the water, even if we find him, it will be very difficult to catch him."

"After all, we can't move freely in the water."

"It's even less likely that I'll stay for long."

She frowned as she spoke, seemingly troubled.

He Li, however, remained unconcerned upon hearing this.

"It's alright, I have a way!"

"Oh?" Yu Ji asked curiously.

What good ideas could he possibly have?
