Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

In front of a coffee shop.

A taxi slowly pulled up at the entrance.

The rear door opened, and Li Rui got out of the car.

After paying the remaining fare to the Didi driver, Li Rui stepped into the coffee shop.

The moment Li Rui pushed open the door and stepped into the coffee shop, he subconsciously scanned the surroundings.

Soft music was playing in the café, and there were only a few customers. Li Rui walked straight through the lobby and went up to the private rooms on the second floor, knocking on one of the doors.

Two seconds later, the person inside opened the door to the private room.

The two investigators who had been conducting their investigation at the beach park were now in the private room.

"Hello, I'm Li Rui."

As soon as Li Rui entered, he showed his identification and then asked, "How is the investigation progressing?"

An investigator is searching for information on a computer.

Another investigator spoke up to explain the current situation:

"We have found the source of the barbecue skewers with residual deformed monster saliva. It came from a street-side barbecue shop called 'Lao Biao Barbecue Shop.' After checking the shop's surveillance footage and investigating each customer, we found that there were 12 customers who bought large portions of barbecue yesterday."

"Among them, 8 people made purchases between 6 p.m. and 23 p.m. Of these 8 people, 4 of them had a meal together in the store, and left immediately after eating without taking the barbecue skewers out of the store."

The reason why the four customers who bought barbecue skewers during the day were excluded first was because the meat residue on those barbecue skewers had not yet completely gone bad or smelled bad in the morning.

This confirms that the barbecue was cooked sometime after 6 p.m.

"Of the remaining four people, one is a ninth-grade student from Liuyun No. 2 Middle School. He came to buy barbecue because he was having a birthday party for a classmate. The party was held at a nearby KTV, not in the beach park area, so he can be ruled out as a suspect..."

After speaking, the investigator handed a stack of documents on the table to Li Rui.

A few hours ago, the two investigators received a notification from the Alliance that a master-level beastmaster would also be coming to assist them in their investigation.

The two investigators had heard of Li Rui before.

Li Rui, male, 31 years old this year, is a graduate of Shanghai University and the current chief disciple of Baihua Martial Arts Academy. He became a master-level beast tamer a few years ago.

Li Rui was valued by the current owner of the Hundred Flowers Dojo from a young age and was always taken in and carefully trained. Although they were only nephews and nieces, he was regarded as a son. In recent years, as Li Rui successfully became a master-level beast tamer, all the affairs of the Hundred Flowers Dojo, big and small, were gradually handed over to Li Rui to manage.

The dojo master, however, lives a secluded life and rarely appears in public unless something major happens.

It is said that Li Yousheng, the head of Baihua Martial Arts Academy, intends to hand over the position to Li Rui. Although Li Rui does not yet have the title of head of the academy, he is practically performing the duties of the head of the academy.

In a few years, when Li Rui is older and more experienced, everything will probably fall into place naturally.

Having such a person come to assist in the investigation, not to mention anything else, made both investigators feel that the pressure on them was greatly reduced.

Li Rui looked down at the documents, his brow gradually relaxing: "What about the other three?"

At this moment, the investigator who was fiddling with the computer spoke up: "I just filtered the identities of those three people in the population database, and I've now found them."

After saying that, he turned the computer screen around and showed it to the other two people.

Li Rui: "The information was sent to my phone. There were only 3 people, so we split up."

Li Rui's idea was simple.

If he finishes this task sooner, he can return to the Hundred Flowers Dojo sooner.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li have gone abroad for a trip, and he's not at the dojo right now. That little devil Li Mian is uncontrollable, and she's probably going to cause a huge uproar.

If it weren't for the task assigned by Sister An, Li Rui wouldn't have wanted to make this trip for someone.

Thinking of this, Li Rui cursed inwardly again at that shameless person who was making excuses and shirking responsibility.

What? The plane tickets have been bought and the plane is about to take off?

With the internet so readily available these days, who still goes directly to the airport to buy tickets?

It must be that some guy bought the wrong ticket online, only realized it when he got to the airport, and then had to change the ticket at the last minute. It's just that Sister An always indulges that guy, she just sees through it but doesn't say anything.

Li Rui casually picked out a portrait photo from the documents.

The other two photos are of young women, while the one in Li Rui's hand is a photo of a young man.

Li Rui glanced at the man's information: "Lin Zhixuan, 26 years old, currently working at an amusement park..."

"I'll go find Lin Zhixuan. You two take care of the other two."

"it is good."

"no problem."

"..."

After a quick confirmation, the three of them split up and got to work.

Li Rui continued to hail a taxi to Lin Zhixuan's current residence.

In urban areas, unless under special circumstances, no one may arbitrarily ride flying pets in the air, so as not to disrupt city order.

The previous National Day celebration was a special case.

If Li Rui were to rashly use the White Feather Eagle to travel in the city now, it would not only cause unnecessary disturbance to passersby, but would also inevitably alert the suspects hiding in the shadows.

After half an hour.

Li Rui arrived at the entrance of an employee accommodation area.

"Who are you...?"

Upon seeing an unfamiliar face, the security guard instinctively stopped the person.

Li Rui immediately pulled out his identification.

The emblem of the Baihua Dojo is clearly visible on the certificate.

The gatekeeper was startled and instinctively stepped aside to make way for him.

After showing his ID to the security guard, Li Rui was able to enter the residential area without any hindrance. Then, following the dormitory room number on the document, he went upstairs to find the person.

"Knock knock..."

Li Rui stopped in front of a door and politely knocked.

The first time, nothing happened.

Li Rui knocked again.

Just then, a dormitory door opened not far away, and a person emerged. Upon seeing Li Rui, a complete stranger, the man paused, then asked, "...You...you're looking for someone?"

Li Rui nodded: "Mm."

"You're early. It's working hours now. You should all be working at the amusement park..." Before the person could finish speaking, he sneezed loudly.

After saying that, the man hurriedly went downstairs.

Li Rui frowned slightly.

work?

The information said that Lin Zhixuan had taken several days off and hadn't gone to work at the amusement park.

If not in the dorm... then where could it be?

When Li Rui came downstairs, the man who had spoken earlier came up with the takeout that had just been delivered.

"I need your help with something. Don't tell anyone I've been here," Li Rui said.

"Ah... okay, sure."

The man nodded slowly, and in a moment of distraction, the person in front of him had vanished.
