Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

"Who's chasing him?"

The furious young lady stamped her feet in anxiety and finally rushed into the house like a fly.

I had lunch, and then kept procrastinating until just now when I sent the message.

The newly hired maid was still thinking about getting a broom to clean up the bottles and jars that the eldest lady had smashed.

The experienced housekeeper Chen had already taken out the car keys from the drawer and was counting three, two, one in his mind. It was coming.

"Uncle Chen! Do you have a new car? Don't be too low-key. You know my level. I can't hurt others."

"Yes, miss, yes." Uncle Chen handed over the car keys with the crescent moon logo. "Miss, there's no need to underestimate yourself. Your driving skills are excellent. Practice will only make you better."

Keqing laughed at herself and said, "Uncle Chen, stop praising me. Let's go!"

"Where's dinner?"

"No need to leave it for me." Keqing had already walked to the door. Without looking back, she just waved to the butler Chen behind her.

Butler Chen actually wanted to ask whether the door should be left open tonight or not, but Keqing had already walked away.

He thought he could only improvise when the time came. If he called or sent a message to ask, it would mean no one had stayed, but if he was already at the door, he would just open it.

The plan goes through!

Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Master, the young lady is out."

……

……

……

At the Yanshang Tea House, the two bodyguards at the door saw a silver-white McLaren slowly driving in the middle of the road. They immediately understood who the visitor was and hurriedly opened the door in advance.

The scissor door lifted up, and inside was indeed their new colleague Li Qingping, and the rich woman who supported him!

"You really have to drive an expensive car. You can't see a single car in front of you all the way." Li Qingping got out of the car and said to Keqing who was in the driver's seat.

Keqing snorted and didn't want to talk.

This is a criticism of her for driving too slowly and being left behind so that she couldn't see other people's taillights!

Chilling!

She has clearly broken the human limit today and increased the speed of the car to 25 miles per hour. Can you pretend not to see it?

Can't you just praise it a little!

"But my driving skills have improved, which is great." Li Qingping said seriously.

Keqing, who had already taken a few steps, was immediately overjoyed, but she pretended to be nonchalant: "What do you care!"

Then she rushed into the tea room immediately, and couldn't help but curl her lips when she entered.

This was seen by the bodyguards on both sides.

Suddenly, they realized the gap between themselves and their new colleague. Why didn't they think of the strategy of first suppressing and then praising? No wonder they couldn't make a living!

The man in front of me could understand the rich woman's mind with his every move, and he made money without doing anything. It was so terrifying!

He is worthy of being Sister Lan’s new ace agent.

The two bodyguards often expressed admiration for Li Qingping.

Li Qingping greeted him awkwardly and followed him in.

In Ye Lan's office, when Li Qingping knocked on the door and entered, there were already three people sitting in front of Ye Lan.

Keqing is self-explanatory, and the other two are a girl in a priest's uniform with twin ponytails, who has the Water Attribute Divine Eye, and a young man with an eyepatch, who has the Ice Attribute Divine Eye.

There were only two rows of sofas in Ye Lan's office. The two of them sat on one side, and Keqing occupied the other.

Thinking about how he had just offended Keqing, Li Qingping felt it was better to stand.

Ye Lan didn't want to be part of their strange play, so she started introducing the other two people in the office.

"This is Kaia, the cavalry captain of the Mond Knights. This is Barbara, the prayer minister of the West Wind Church, and the person in charge of this trip."

"Li Qingping, my most reliable subordinate."

The two sides greeted each other and got to know each other.

"Who is this?" Barbara's voice was very sweet. When you heard it for the first time, it felt like you had poured a large cup of honey into your mouth, so greasy that it made you feel dizzy.

Keqing glanced at Li Qingping who was still standing and pulled him to her side.

"His driver can pretend I don't exist. I'm keeping my mouth shut."

"Keqing, my deputy, is very reliable!"

Barbara wanted to confirm Keqing's identity, but after learning that she was one of her own, she didn't say anything.

"What happened this time? Why did people from Mondstadt come to our Liyue?" Li Qingping asked.

"Mondstadt sent a letter of cooperation, Qixing approved it, and then sent the case to the Liyue Police Station. The police station then sent the matter to me." Ye Lan said.

"So Sister Lan, you just throw this job to me?" Li Qingping looked reluctant.

Is this unwillingness?

Barbara frowned and thought to herself, "Oh no!"

Ding!

Li Qingping's cell phone rang. He took a look at the message and it was from Ye Lan.

Ye Lan: "Your boss is planning to expand into the Mondstadt market. Work hard and you'll get a big bonus."

It was actually instructed by the kind-hearted boss Ningguang, so we must do it well!

"I don't have any questions. Please speak. I will cooperate if conditions are available, and I will create them if conditions are not available."

Barbara was stunned by Li Qingping's 180-degree turn.

Her first impression of the boy in front of her was actually quite good, because he was quite handsome.

But how come this person switches his tone so smoothly, he's almost as good as a certain cardinal.

He is a little too frivolous, is he reliable?

Barbara glanced at Kaia, exchanged glances with him, and then spoke.

There is no other way but to trust him.

"There was an alchemist in Mondstadt who, for some forbidden alchemical ritual, brutally murdered three nuns of the Church of Favonius and fled all the way to Liyue.

The acting captain sent us here hoping that with Liyue's help, we can capture this criminal, alive or dead."

The matter was not complicated. After Ye Lan and Li Qingping briefly understood the situation, they sent Barbara and Kaia out of the tea room.

"You've been traveling so long, go back and rest first. We'll arrange for our informant to investigate."

After getting the promise, the two of them left in a car.

come back to the office.

Keqing frowned, feeling that there was something fishy about this matter.

Ye Lan and Li Qingping were already talking.

"Kaia is the main person in charge, and Barbara is just a cover." Li Qingping said

"Well, it's obviously just a murder case, but it has to lead to such a thing. It's a bit strange." Ye Lan nodded.

The two of them had just tacitly staged a scene to find out the background of these two people.

As a result, the pastor named Barbara was too naive and was directly trapped.

Keqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.

"You two also..."

Keqing opened her mouth and closed it again.

Insidious and cunning, with deep tricks?

These two people are in this line of work. They are bold and careful, and good at finding clues.

"Sister Lan, will you look for clues first?"

Li Qingping felt that he might not be able to find any useful information today, so he thought it would be better to go back early to pick up people and then adjust his state to prepare for tomorrow's exploration of the Demon God ruins.

"I just told them that a murder occurred in Liyue this morning. The murderer was brutal, and an alchemy array was found in the victim's home."

This is a hidden trick! Li Qingping has learned something new.

"Let's go and have a look."

Volume 1: 62. The Wolf of the Beast Realm (5.5k)

Ye Lan brought Li Qingping and Keqing to the neighborhood where the deceased lived.

"Tinglan Garden in Feiyunpo was also a high-end residential area in Liyue ten years ago. It was snapped up as soon as it was opened."

As soon as they entered Tinglan Garden, Ye Lan began to introduce the place to Li Qingping, but since it was an old building built ten years ago, her explanation was limited to a few words.

Intelligence agents will not specifically investigate this matter, they will only learn a little about it when it is needed.

The background of Tinglan Garden is not that important, so Ye Lan plans to quickly go over it.

"The original price was 20,000 yuan per square meter, and then it was raised to 30,000 yuan. However, they were all sold out within half a day after the launch." Keqing glanced at the name of the community and continued Ye Lan's words.

She also explained the layout of the community and the structure of each building, all the way from the entrance to the downstairs of the victim's house.

This explanation actually revealed some useful information, including a hidden fire escape.

Ye Lan took note of it and prepared to arrange someone to investigate.

That was 30,000 ten years ago. In that era, being able to buy a house here definitely required strong financial strength.

but...

Li Qingping and Ye Lan exchanged glances with each other, then looked at Keqing, as if asking why she knew so much.

According to your age, you were only nine years old at that time, right?

"It's a real estate development my family developed," Keqing said without hesitation. "And I usually like to relax by looking at construction drawings. The design of this complex is quite unique, so I made a special note of it."

It's really nice to have a driver like this around, and he can also provide some unknown inside information.

It’s just too hard to find, and I’m afraid there’s no other one in the whole of Liyue.

"The victim was a novelist who had written two or three best-selling books. He had purchased a house here in full."

"The victim rarely went out on weekdays. He didn't need to work. He occasionally wrote short stories and could live well off the royalties every year."

"The deceased had no enemies, and no valuables in his home were lost."

"If the deceased's editor hadn't come to him, no one would have even known he was dead."

Ye Lan continued to introduce, and the three of them took the elevator to the floor where the victim was.

"I live on the top floor, the 12th floor."

Li Qingping looked down through the window. It was nearly 45 meters high, and the surface of the building was relatively flat, with almost no place to stand.

“It’s quite difficult to climb up from the outside.”

This is the conclusion Li Qingping came to based on his own situation, also taking into account the assistance of Osel's Fang.

"It's quite difficult. Even a twelfth-level expert with the Wind-attributed Divine Eye couldn't come up here unnoticed."

Ye Lan pointed out the blind spot on the outside of the building to Li Qingping. He had to stick his head out to see that place.

"360° surveillance without blind spots, how about you try climbing it?"

It turns out there is a surveillance camera hanging above this building!

Li Qingping sighed, thinking that Shen He's Yunxin Residence didn't have this kind of grandeur, but it turned out that the community ten years ago had this kind of grandeur.

"Did the surveillance capture anything?"

"What do you think? Otherwise, why would we come here?"
