Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Li Tianxing strode into the police station.

He arrived at Song Mao's office with practiced ease.

"Brother Mao, are you there?"

Li Tianxing knocked on Song Mao's door.

"Tianxing, come in."

Li Tianxing pushed open the door and entered, finding Song Mao looking at piles of documents on his desk.

Although Li Tianxing and Song Mao were not very close, he knew that Song Mao was a very conscientious person.

"Tianxing, I've recently sent out all the patrol officers to search for the strongholds of the Puru Church."

But still, nothing was found.

Song Mao sighed helplessly.

"Brother Mao, there are so many irrelevant people in the Pudu Cult."

If we follow the clues...

Logically, it shouldn't be difficult to investigate.

Li Tianxing walked over to Song Mao and looked at the documents on his desk.

Li Tianxing has been cultivating these past few days and has only come here a few times, so he can be considered a hands-off manager.

However, today he has made up his mind to eradicate the Purusa Church.

Not only should the Pudu sect be eradicated, but the annoying flies around us should also be eliminated!

Song Mao lit a cigarette for himself:

"Because there are so many people in the Purusa sect, there are simply no effective leads."

Everyone we contacted was an ordinary citizen; even if they were members of the Purusah Church, they couldn't provide any useful information.

"That's true, so they haven't identified the key figure yet?"

Li Tianxing asked.

Song Mao shook his head:

"No, but I've investigated and found that many members of the Purdue Church seem to have disappeared."

Li Tianxing was somewhat surprised:

"Disappeared? You mean you never came back and vanished from Anlan County without a trace?"

Song Mao smoked a cigarette, looking somewhat worried.

"Yes, that's why many people are afraid to join the Purdue Church recently."

However, some fervent believers say that these people have ascended to a heaven free from suffering and hardship.

"He's hopeless!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tianxing became somewhat worried about Zhang Wei's family.

"Could this Purdue cult's stronghold be located in one of the surrounding villages?"

Li Tianxing offered his opinion.

Song Mao nodded:

"That's very likely."

"For the past few days, I've had the patrol team investigate some shops and stores in Anlan County, but we haven't found any trace of the Pudu sect."

Li Tianxing said thoughtfully:

"Has Brother Song also investigated some of the larger factions?"

Song Mao was slightly taken aback:

"Tianxing, what do you mean?"

Li Tianxing pretended not to care and said:

"It's nothing, Brother Song. It's just that, as the saying goes..."

The lesser hermit lives in the wilderness, the middle hermit lives in the city, and the greater hermit lives in the court.

Of course, this is just my guess, Brother Song, don't take it to heart.

Song Mao smiled and said:

"It seems you have your own ideas, Tianxing."

It's okay, just say whatever you want to say, I support you.

After Li Tianxing had dealt with Song Mao several times...

He also learned of Song Mao's identity.

Song Mao...

He is also the son of Song Sizhe, the head of the Song family.

He should have enjoyed the same treatment and status as Song Ming.

But it's because he is the illegitimate son of Song Sizhe and a courtesan.

This forced Song Mao to go to great lengths, only to be able to find a position in the police force.

Fortunately, Song Mao's kung fu was not bad; he was at the flesh-forging level of the first realm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be Liu Hui's deputy...

He'll probably only be able to become a low-ranking patrol officer!

In contrast, Song Ming could lie at home...

He could easily possess everything that Song Mao wanted.

Therefore, Song Mao naturally harbored a certain aversion to these so-called powerful clans.

Song Maoze disliked second-generation officials like Song Ming even more...

This is also the main reason why Li Tianxing dared to put forward such an opinion.

Li Tianxing said earnestly:

"Alright, then I won't keep you in suspense any longer, Brother Mao."

I suggest we focus our investigation on this Black Dragon Gang.

Especially some key figures in the Black Dragon Gang.

But there's no need to alert them...

Leave this to me, I'll look into it.

Song Mao said with great interest:

"Tianxing, have you gotten into a fight with the Black Dragon Gang?"

You should know that the Chen family is behind them.

The Chen family is not the main one.

The main issue is that the Chen family is backed by a complex web of powerful forces.

Li Tianxing was aware of this, even though the head of the Chen family was Chen Jinguang.

But the one who truly held sway in the Chen family was Chen Jinguang's wife, Madam Chen.

Madam Chen's real name was Su Pei, but Li Tianxing didn't know her specific background.

But he knew that Su Pei had some connections and influence from the previous dynasty.

Moreover, this background and influence are quite substantial...

Li Tianxing began to explain:

"Hehe... Brother Mao is overthinking it."

However, the Black Dragon Gang controls the Qinghe Wharf.

Smuggling and other transactions are both easy.

Therefore, I suspect they may have some connection with the Purdue cult.

After all, the "talismanic water" of the Pudu sect couldn't possibly be created out of thin air, could it?

Leave the investigation of the Black Dragon Gang to me.

"I'll leave the investigation of the surrounding villages and towns to you, Mao-ge, is that alright?"

Song Mao had no objection:

"Okay, I'll leave the investigation to you."

I'll assign you a few clever people, have them change into civilian clothes and follow you.

"Alright, starting tomorrow, I'll begin my investigation at Qinghe Wharf."

Li Tianxing discussed some details with Song Mao before leaving the police station.

……

At noon, Li Tianxing returned home.

When Xiao Yuan saw her young master return, her big, watery eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Kaixin said:

"Young master, you're back. You must have had a hard day fishing this morning."

I made you lots of delicious food.

Li Tianxing looked at Xiao Yuan.

After a few days of getting to know each other, the two finally settled in.

Xiao Yuan's temperament has clearly changed; she has an indescribable charm.

Originally a cute type, she now exudes a touch of sexiness.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Li Tianxing picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of beef, and put it in his mouth.

Just a month ago, Li Tianxing was still eating brown rice and munching on bran cakes.

A month later, his life had improved dramatically.

Not only can they have enough to eat and wear...

And he has also earned the respect of many people.

"By the way, young master, Zhang Wei came to see you this morning."

But when you weren't there, he went home.

Xiao Yuan looked at Li Tianxing with eyes full of love.

Li Tianxing asked while eating:

"He came to see me, but did he say what he wanted?"

He only said that his sister had returned, and then when he saw that you weren't there, he didn't say anything more.

However, he looked quite unwell...

Li Tianxing put down his chopsticks and thought to himself.

"His sister is back? Did she run away or...?"

Let's go check it out after we finish eating!

……

After finishing his meal, Li Tianxing did not rest.

And I didn't do any aerobic exercise either...

He went directly to Zhang Wei's house.

"Zhang Wei, why is your sister so thin from hunger?"

Li Tianxing was carrying a bag of white rice and some leftover meat from home.

He looked at a girl lying on the bed.

This girl is Zhang Wei's younger sister, Zhang Li.

Zhang Li was very weak at this time, and her hair was still a little wet.

He was lying in bed asleep.

Zhang Wei said with great heartache:

"Does anyone know what my sister went through in the Purdue Church?"

She managed to escape and come back, but her situation is still not very stable.

I asked her some questions this morning, and she hesitated and stammered.

He then fell into a coma...

Li Tianxing stood by the bed.

He handed the rice and meat to Zhang Wei:

"I'll wait here for a while. I have something to ask her when she wakes up."

Go and cook her something to eat now.

Zhang Wei took the rice and meat and said sincerely:

"Thank you so much, Tianxing. You're doing so well now, and you still consider me a friend."

Li Tianxing laughed:

"Go and cook for your sister. I need to discuss something with you later."

"Okay, I'll go right now!"
