I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

The car stopped outside the factory, and Su Wuchen and the other two got out one by one.

Wang Xu and his companion, who had been waiting outside the factory, waved and walked over.

"Brother Fei, bury Su."

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course, we'll cooperate with your investigation department."

Wang Xu explained with a smile, "Besides, didn't two of our constables also disappear here?"

Su Wuchen nodded knowingly.

Led by Zhou Qi, the group arrived at the place where the two constables had disappeared earlier. It was a house deep inside the factory, near the Lijiang River.

"The people at the factory said that the last time they saw them was here."

Zhou Qi pointed to the house and said, "The two of them seemed to be smoking here at the time. Later, someone heard some noise and came out to check, but they had disappeared."

"They are government officials after all. They came here to investigate the situation. The workers didn't pay attention when they left, but no one expected that he would disappear."

Wang Xu nodded. "Before they disappeared, they spoke to us and said everything was peaceful here. Who would have thought it would happen so suddenly?"

Zhao Fei asked, "Did you discover anything during your call?"

Wang Xu shook his head. "I drank quite a bit at the time and didn't pay attention. Ding Ji, do you remember?"

Another constable, Ding Ji, pondered for a moment and said, "I just felt that they were making a lot of noise on their side, so I mentioned it, but that's all."

Wang Xu nodded: "Yes, Ding Ji did say that."

Is it windy?

Su Wuchen raised an eyebrow and looked at the iron courtyard wall.

Because it's close to the Lijiang River, it's normal to hear some wind noise from the waves blowing across the river.

But it was truly strange that two martial artists at the peak of the ninth rank could disappear without a trace.

Moreover, after the workers mysteriously disappeared, Zhou Qi arranged for a number of ninth-rank martial arts soldiers to patrol the factory.

Even if an eighth-rank cultivator were to make a move, it might still be discovered.

Unless one is a seventh-grade cultivator.

But if they can get a seventh-grade cultivator to come, why target Zhou Qi's factory specifically?

How could the target be just the factory workers and the fish that Zhou Qi brought over?

That doesn't make sense.

With his doubts in mind, Su Wuchen went to the fence to check the situation.

There were no traces left on either side of the fence. Standing here, you can clearly see the widest buffer zone of the Li River, and there are still many boats traveling on the river.

Zhao Fei scratched his head and said, "That's strange."

"Did you offend someone, and they're deliberately trying to sabotage you?"

Zhou Qi shook his head repeatedly, "I've always been kind to others, how could I offend anyone? Even if I did offend someone, they wouldn't target the workers and fish in my factory, would they?"

Zhao Fei: "..."

Su Wuchen's heart skipped a beat. "Where do you keep those dragonfish?"

"It's in the glass water tank not far ahead."

Zhou Qi pointed to the large glass tank not far away, "Because the living environment of arowanas is different from that of other fish, I specially ordered someone to prepare this tank."

Everyone walked towards the water tank.

The large glass water tank appeared normal from the outside, with no abnormalities whatsoever.

Even when it jumped onto the water tank, there was nothing strange about it.

however.

It was precisely because all of this was so normal that it seemed so eerie!

Zhao Fei reached out and scooped up a handful. "The water quality hasn't changed much. If it really had been eaten by some kind of monster, there should be some blood mixed in."

Wang Xu nodded: "Unless it's some kind of powerful monster that swallows them whole before the dragonfish can even react."

"impossible."

Zhou Qi shook his head. "Although dragonfish live in the deep sea, they have a very strong reaction and a keen sense of smell."

"They will detect any creature that approaches immediately and determine whether there is any danger."

"If a powerful monster really appeared, why would the dragonfish stay obediently in the tank? It would probably be pounding on the tank trying to escape."

"But look at this water tank, inside and out, there are hardly any impact marks."

Zhao Fei turned his head: "What do you think?"

Su Wuchen shrugged. "Everything seems too normal right now, almost ridiculously normal."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I do have a suggestion, though it's not entirely well-intentioned."

"What suggestion?"

Zhou Qi and the others looked over.

Su Wuchen gestured towards the water tank with his lip, "Since that monster has its eye on your dragonfish, why don't you bring over a few more dragonfish so we can all wait for it to come to us?"

"If that thing is really interested in arowanas, it will definitely come here once it smells their scent."

"If not..."

"Then we'll have to have Constable Wang transfer people from other government offices."

"Such a professional task as investigating a case should be left to professionals."

Zhou Qi remained silent, lost in thought.

Wang Xu and the other man looked rather grim.

They were all constables from the government office, and that's what they were responsible for.

Now that this has happened on our own turf, we can't find a single clue and can only ask other government departments to send people to us...

Wouldn't that be a slap in their face?!

Zhao Fei said in a low voice, "If we transfer people from other government departments, what will happen to the reputation of those departments and the Inspection Bureau?"

Su Wuchen shrugged. "Anyway, this whole thing is absurd. I'm just a coroner; how much useful experience can I offer you?"

"certainly."

"If you can find a body, you might make some new discoveries."

Zhou Qi pondered for a moment and then said, "How about we give it a try?"

"try?"

"You also have arowana?"

"These three arowanas are missing. The buyer wasn't happy about it, so I spent a lot of money to get three more that were about the same quality, but they're not here right now."

Zhou Qi said with a hint of helplessness, "This place has become dangerous. The workers are afraid to go to work, and I don't dare to put the arowana here, do I?"

Zhao Fei's eyes lit up: "We can give it a try."

Wang Xu nodded in agreement: "We can report to the head constable and ask him to come and oversee the operation in person."

"The constable won't do."

Zhao Fei waved his hand, "To be able to take away three dragonfish and those two guys so easily, there must be at least a seventh-grade cultivator in charge."

Su Wuchen glanced at him sideways, "You think you can get Lord Shangguan and the others to come?"

Zhao Fei shook his head, smiled, and pointed at Zhou Qi, "I may not be able to, but that doesn't mean he can't."

"Moreover, Lord Liu Rumin is quite easy to talk to. Young Master Zhou personally visited and explained the reasons. In addition, given the impact of this case, I think Lord Liu will not sit idly by."

Zhou Qi nodded emphatically, "Then let's give it a try. I want to see what kind of monster ate my dragonfish!"
