Naturally, Ji Ran couldn't provide Bu Bugao with the corresponding documents.

"I'm sorry, I was too rushed leaving the house today and forgot to bring them."

At the same time, she prepared for Wang Hu to suddenly attack... She wasn't skilled in offensive techniques, but she was confident in her ability to protect herself and escape. At worst, she would expend some vital energy to use a secret technique.

"Didn't bring them?" Bu Bugao paused, thought for a moment, and said, "Miss, could you tell me your name so I can check for you?"

"Ji Ran." Ji Ran silently mobilized the spiritual energy within her body, secretly constructing a special secret technique route.

Bu Bugao then took out a cutting-edge folding device and, after operating it for a while, suddenly said, "Found it. Miss Ji Ran, right... Your identity is not a problem."

"Huh?"

Her secret technique was already constructed and ready to be activated!

The thing Bu Bugao took out should be a tool that can access the Shenzhou Administration's database... Without an anti-peeping screen, and not far away, Ji Ran clearly saw a photo of her ID card on the screen.

How could this be?

When did she apply for an [Abnormal Creature ID Card]?

No... could it be Master You Ye?

Ji Ran instantly understood.

It was likely Master's secret manipulation. Since Master arranged for her to train here, she would naturally have thought that she would have times when she would leave [Qilin City]... and interact with [Transcendent] individuals from Shenzhou.

Master is indeed very thorough!

Learned it!

"Then see if what I say is okay." Bu Bugao said, "During the pursuit, we [coincidentally] met Miss Ji, and with your help, we successfully killed the offending demon?"

Ji Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't mention me."

Bu Bugao scratched his head, "Then we met a mysterious expert who lent a hand during the pursuit..."

"Just say you two killed it." Ji Ran said directly, and looking at the wooden-faced Wang Hu, she said deeply, "Besides, with your friend's strength, he could have easily killed this Bighorn Sheep demon."

"But this is your credit after all?"

"I don't mind!" Ji Ran shook her head. "I don't want trouble either. I'll just take the materials from the Bighorn Sheep demon's body to make medicine, consider it a reward."

"This... okay?" Bu Bugao nodded subconsciously, then said, "Miss Ji has helped us so much... How about Ah Hu and I help you process these materials? Please don't refuse!"

Ji Ran hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't refuse—processing things like the goat's treasure was already the limit. As for things like goat intestines, she was really worried.

She never had to do these things herself before!

...

Bu Bugao stuffed two wads of paper into his nose and squatted by the stream to clean the goat intestines... He was a little dazed, only because Ji Ran was sitting on a protruding rock in the stream, cleaning her calves.

Suddenly, a bloody smell came. Bu Bugao paused and quickly exclaimed, "Ah Hu, why are you eating raw meat!"

These muttons were quite gamey, Ji Ran didn't want them, and threw them aside after removing them... then she saw Wang Hu directly grabbing a raw lamb leg and gnawing on it.

"Raw is delicious." Wang Hu's mouth was full of blood, simple and ferocious.

Bu Bugao leaned back tactically in disgust, throwing a piece of unwashed large intestine over, "Do you want to eat this?"

Wang Hu rolled his eyes, spat it out in one breath, and blew Bu Bugao directly into the water.

"Ah Hu, you've changed!" Bu Bugao was soaked all over and started splashing water on Wang Hu, "Water Style! Thousand Waterfall Technique!"

Wang Hu blew another breath, and Bu Bugao directly skipped across the stream... a total of seventeen times!

Having fun.

Ji Ran silently watched these two guys frolicking, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch... Wang Hu gave her a very strange feeling, as if he was indifferent to everything, but occasionally he would reveal a terrifying aura, especially in the moment of battle.

Through Bu Bugao's introduction, Bu Bugao himself was just a small detective from the Administration, while Wang Hu was his support logistics unit, belonging to the bottom rung of the Shenzhou Administration.

Wang Hu couldn't remember the past because he was injured, so he seemed a little dull...

Did Wang Hu really not remember the past?

Ji Ran didn't think so. People with dissociative amnesia weren't completely like Wang Hu... Ji Ran was more inclined to believe that Wang Hu really had amnesia at the beginning, but later he gradually remembered some things, maybe not all of them, and he was in a very confused state.

"Miss Ji, we've cleaned up all the materials you wanted!" Bu Bugao came over with a pile of materials and Wang Hu, "Is there anything else we need to help with?"

Ji Ran hesitated slightly and shook her head, "No, thank you for today."

"You let us pick up a credit for nothing, I should be thanking you." Bu Bugao saw that it was good to stop at this time, he knew the way of the workplace (taught by his old father), "Then we won't bother you, say hello to Dragon Consultant for me, goodbye!"

Ji Ran hummed lightly... Suddenly she realized that the banner of Doctor Long seemed to be quite useful?

"Oh right!" Bu Bugao suddenly seemed to remember something, "Miss Ji, many powerful spirits have come out these days, you should pay more attention on your way back. Also, when you return to [Qilin City], it's best not to stay in [Phoenix Mountain]... There seems to be some anomaly there, shrouded in a thick fog, and several investigators from the Hangzhou branch have disappeared."

"[Phoenix Mountain]?" Ji Ran frowned. She came directly through the air after leaving [Qilin City]. Because she was in a hurry, she didn't pay much attention to things on the ground.

"Yes, it's just recently." Bu Bugao nodded, "That place was originally a scenic spot, once the temporary palace of the Southern Song Dynasty emperor... Actually, only a ruin remains."

"Okay, I know." Ji Ran nodded, "Thank you for the information."

Bu Bugao smiled and said, "It's not a secret, maybe Dragon Consultant has this report on his desk... Okay, Miss Ji, goodbye!"

...

Ji Ran floated away like a fairy.

"Sweet alto, accurate bass... Ah Hu, I feel like I'm in love!" Bu Bugao looked痴痴at the cloud.

Wang Hu said expressionlessly, "You said the same thing last week when you met that junior investigator named Mu Zi. Also, last month, you were at..."

"Ah Hu!!"

Wang Hu said indifferently, "I just want to tell you that the woman just now had the smell of dead people on her body, she probably killed someone not long ago."

"!!!" Bu Bugao paused, feeling that Wang Hu wasn't so dull at this moment. He subconsciously said, "Miss Ji is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she's also Dragon Consultant's person... She probably encountered some evil-doing guy and was acting on behalf of heaven!"

"Idiot." Wang Hu then responded.

Bu Bugao glared unhappily, "Let's go, we've been out for almost two days and two nights, it's time to go back and report."

Wang Hu nodded and directly packed up the unfinished lamb leg to take away.

Bu Bugao's communicator suddenly rang at this moment.

“Code 167, this is Agent Bu Bugao!” Bu Bugao quickly answered, “What are your instructions?”

“Buzz… …[Phoenix Mountain] anomaly, please all agents near the Hangzhou branch rush to support… …Buzz… …Situation critical, situation critical… …”

“Code 167, Agent Bu Bugao received, heading to support immediately!!” Bu Bugao took a deep breath, looking at Wang Hu and saying: “A big one is coming, Ah Hu! If we can make a contribution this time, let's see what excuses they have for not letting you be an agent!”

Wang Hu frowned, looking thoughtfully in the direction of [Phoenix Mountain].

Ma SIR walked out of the interrogation room with bloodshot eyes… …After staying up all night, he still couldn't get any useful information from the assassin.

“Ma SIR, coffee!”

Lin Feng yawned and brought over the coffee, with four sugar packets on the saucer.

Ma SIR hesitated for a moment, then directly downed the black coffee… He frowned, “Any results from the peripheral investigation of the hotel?”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, “We're preparing to expand the scope of the investigation… Who could have expected to encounter three cases all at once yesterday? SIR, we don't have enough manpower, should we request help from another team?”

Yesterday, Ma SIR went to the [Song Dynasty Hotel] and encountered three cases.

Li Dongnan's troublemaking case.

Song Ying's attack case.

And the disappearance case of the Daidoji Zaibatsu's young lady.

Among these, Li Dongnan's case should be the simplest, after all, the evidence is conclusive, there's nothing much to say… As for the reasons behind Li Dongnan's actions, Ma SIR actually plans to detain Li Dongnan for a few days, with the main focus currently on the disappearance case of Daidoji Yuga.

After all, although Song Ying was assassinated… it wasn't successful, was it? Anyway, the assassin is quite tight-lipped, and there's no breakthrough for the time being.

This case might drag on for a very long time.

Ma SIR thought for a moment and said, “How about this, transfer Li Dongnan's case to Team Three. Also, file a report requesting a joint investigation by Team Two into the disappearance case of Daidoji Yuga.”

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, “Do you want to go home and rest first? I'll notify you if there's any news?”

“Hmm… alright.” Ma SIR nodded, “Take shifts to rest, I have a feeling this battle will last a long time.”

“The temperature has dropped a lot today, remember to put on some clothes later.” Lin Feng instructed.

Ma SIR was stunned, he had been in the bureau all the time and hadn't paid much attention. He subconsciously lowered the Venetian blinds, only to see snowflakes fluttering outside the window, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: “It's snowing?”

“Oh, really?”

… …

… …

“In the past two days, the weather has been abnormal in various parts of Shenzhou… It is reported that this climate anomaly is only within the scope of Shenzhou. For this reason, we have invited a famous climatology expert today… …”

The car radio was babbling.

Lizi retracted her hand from outside the car window, showing off to Zi Ling Ma, who was boredly waiting for the red light: “Sister, look, snow!”

“Look at how happy you are.” Zi Ling Ma rolled her eyes, “It makes me feel like your childhood was very deprived.”

“I haven't seen it in a long time!” Lizi responded with a smile, directly licking the almost melted snowflakes in her palm into her mouth.

“… …Are you really daring to eat anything?” Zi Ling Ma was shocked at the time.

“I feel like the taste of this snow is a bit strange… …” Lizi said thoughtfully.

“What's wrong, the pH is too low, is it sour?”

“… …” Lizi suddenly said, “Sister, I have something to do this afternoon, can I take a half-day off?”

Lizi rarely asks for leave, mainly because she can freeload on Zi Ling Ma… Seeing this, Zi Ling Ma didn't ask much, “Is half a day enough? If it's really not enough, then don't go back to the company today, just make up a leave slip later, and I'll approve it with pay for you.”

This fairy boss, Lizi was so moved that she was about to cry… It would be perfect if she didn't have to pay rent!!

She thought for a moment and said, “Then… Sister, can you drop me off at the intersection ahead?”

“Do you need any help?” Zi Ling Ma asked seriously.

“It's a small matter, I can handle it.” Lizi smiled and said, “If all goes well, I'll rush back by noon.”

Ren Ziling nodded, and after passing the traffic lights, she dropped Lizi off at the next intersection. After thinking about it, she directly changed the route… She didn't plan to go back to the company to clock in either, and drove directly to the Enforcement Bureau. It was time to comfort Ma SIR and the other hardworking police officers.

… …

Just as she arrived at the bureau, Zi Ling Ma, who was carrying two boxes of freshly baked egg tarts, instantly bumped into Ma SIR.

As soon as Ma SIR saw Zi Ling Ma carrying the snacks, he knew what she was going to do, and instantly turned around and ran, as if he had encountered a plague god.

“Ma Houde! Stop right there!!”

In front of the gate, those going to work and those leaving work all cast their gazes… Zi Ling Ma and him were really too familiar, they could be called unofficial popular figures in the bureau.

Ma SIR was helpless and could only turn around, “I'm off work, let's talk outside… What does this look like!”

“Oh oh!”

… …

Actually, they didn't go outside, but went to the bureau's cafeteria—mainly because it was snowing outside and it was cold.

“… …Missing?! ! ! ”

Zi Ling Ma raised her voice all of a sudden.

“Shh, keep your voice down, my dear grandma!” Ma SIR covered his face, feeling really regretful for having said this.

But he couldn't resist!

As soon as Old Ren sat down, she started talking about his wife's first pregnancy, what about the Hong Kong district milk powder generation gap back then, what about sending baby carriages, what about helping with kindergarten enrollment, what about taking leave to take care of him in shifts with Mrs. Ma when he was injured and hospitalized a few years ago, and even the water pipes in his house were repaired with her help… Blah blah blah.

“Do you want me to help you inquire?” Zi Ling Ma quickly lowered her head, using the menu to cover her face as she asked in a low voice.

Ma SIR also lowered his head, also using the menu to cover his face: “Do you have a way?”

Zi Ling Ma hesitated for a moment, “I can help ask if anyone has been doing bad things recently… But you can't tell Luo Qiu about this, he doesn't like me contacting those people.”

Ma SIR frowned, “Do you still have contact with your godfather now?”

“It's 'Qi Ye'!” Zi Ling Ma corrected: “He retired a long time ago and is enjoying his old age in Hong Kong… Recently, the old uncles of Qi Ye's gang have retired one by one and formed a group to go north to retire. But they are well-informed, so I can ask.”

Ma SIR thought for a moment and said, “The Daidoji Zaibatsu has a lot of power in Japan. This time Daidoji Yuga is missing, it might be an international incident… It's not that I look down on them, but what era is this, a bunch of peasants, how can they get involved in this kind of thing?”

Zi Ling Ma shrugged, disdainfully saying: “What, don't big shots need a 'chamber pot'?”

“Speak more politely… …”

Zi Ling Ma immediately raised her middle finger, “Then do you still want the information?”

“Yes!” Ma SIR instantly smelled the sweet scent of success.

Zi Ling Ma directly spread out her palm.

“What are you doing?” Ma SIR was stunned.

“Informant fee!” Zi Ling Ma suddenly raised her voice, angrily saying: “You TM still want to freeload on me for free? My family Luo Qiu will have big expenses when he has children in the future! And have you forgotten that I recently adopted Long Er?”

“… …”

So, Ma SIR tearfully transferred one thousand yuan… And then screenshotted it and sent it to Mrs. Ma, proving that he really didn't spend this thousand yuan on something like a Cloud Men's Light Luxury SPA!!

Then Mrs. Ma immediately transferred one thousand yuan back, telling Ma SIR not to mistreat himself, and not to add 92 gasoline, which is not good for the car, add 98 instead.

Ma SIR felt that Mrs. Ma meant something else… …

“Old Ma, haven't you always been adding 95 gasoline?”

“Cough cough cough, I didn't, I didn't… …” Ma SIR quickly said: “Go quickly and gather information, I'm waiting for your good news!”
