Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Hello, my name is Kanoin Heizo, and I am a member of the Tenryo magistrate's comrades. Was that little thing on my shoulder just now yours?"

"What is 'unity of hearts'?" Walnut asked, tugging at Little Ghost's tail.

Heizo Shinoin's gaze fell on their clothing, which was distinctly Liyue in style. Clearly, they were Liyue people who had landed with the Southern Cross fleet.

"You're from Liyue, right? 'Tongxin' is a title used in the Sky Realm; basically, it's like being a police officer, but most people call me a detective..."

"I see."

When Hu Tao heard the word "police," she immediately understood.

Liyue also has a similar position, but it is called "Constable".

"This little guy is a bit naughty, did he scare you?" Hu Tao asked knowingly.

"A little..."

Chapter 507 He regretted following along.

Jiang Bai looked at Rokunoen Heizo with some wariness and asked bluntly, "Were you following us just now?"

A detective is following him; does that mean he suspects him?

"Sorry, I just subconsciously paid more attention to foreigners. It's kind of an occupational hazard..." Kanoin Heizo scratched his head, not embarrassed at all.

He didn't suspect the two were criminals; it's just that when a stranger appears in a familiar crowd, especially a foreigner, he always subconsciously pays more attention.

I noticed them whispering about plans and tasks, and I became curious about what they were up to.

"Oh, I see. I thought we had unintentionally broken some Inazuma law." Jiang Bai feigned a panicked look, but it was all fake.

Hu Tao glared at Jiang Bai, who shrugged to indicate his innocence.

It wasn't directed at him; it has nothing to do with him.

Although he saw the two exchanging glances, Kano Enheizo's detective instincts were not triggered.

That makes sense, Jiang Bai isn't the murderer of any major crime, he's just a wanted man, and the image on the wanted poster is just a small black figure that you can't make out anything.

Kanoen Heizo's detective instincts weren't as sharp as they were at catching wanted criminals one by one.

As long as Jiang Bai himself doesn't have a guilty conscience, no one in Tianling Fengxing can doubt him.

Kanoen Heizo chuckled and explained, "Haha, Inazuma's laws aren't that strict yet, but the border closure order hasn't been lifted, so foreigners still need permits to stay in Inazuma..."

“We have the documents; they were processed by the customs officer when we disembarked.” Hu Tao pulled out two documents to show him.

Kanoin Heizo glanced at it, then pushed the ID back. "Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to check your IDs, and this isn't my working hours."

He touched his shoulder, somewhat curious, "What was that little guy just now?"

“Speaking of this, I must first introduce myself. My name is Hu Tao, the head of the Liyue Hall of Rebirth. This is Jiang Bai, our Hall of Rebirth’s Soul Ferryman. The one who was just perched on your shoulder was my pet—a ghost.”

The little ghost burrowed in and out of Kurumi's body, waving happily at Shinoin Heizo.

"A ghost?" Shinoin Heizo became interested and quickly began to make connections.

"Are they transformed from dead people? If people can become ghosts and communicate directly after death, wouldn't we be able to find out who the murderer is simply by asking the ghosts, without needing to deduce anything...?"

This was the first time Hu Tao had ever met someone like this.

Hearing about ghosts, it's one thing not to be afraid, but the first thing that comes to mind is solving the case.

Is this an occupational hazard?

She said seriously, "The rules of life and death are irreversible. It's not a good thing for ghosts to linger. Young man, I see you're so young, don't even think about things that violate the balance between life and death..."

Kanoin Heizo looked at Kurumi, who had become serious, with some surprise, and suddenly understood what the Celebration Hall was all about.

"No, no, as a detective, I never solve cases for the sake of solving cases; it was just a subconscious association..."

Walnut's sales radar went off like crazy, instantly switching into sales mode:

"You're a detective, so you must encounter a lot of dead people, right? We happen to be traveling here right now, so how about we cooperate with our Funeral Home? We're experts in everything from encoffining and burial to performing rituals for the deceased!"

“That’s right, that’s right, young man Pingzang, this is our business. You can take a look and introduce it to your colleagues while you’re at it…” Jiang Bai enthusiastically stuffed a flyer into his hand.

Heizo's lips twitched; he was at a loss for words at the sudden enthusiasm of the two.

He glanced at it briefly and shoved the flyer back into Jiang Bai's hand.

"I'm afraid we won't need that. The Heavenly Commander has people specifically in charge of this, and sometimes there are many clues on the corpses..."

Seeing that he didn't need this business, Hu Tao changed her approach, took out a small peach wood plaque, and started selling it directly.

"Would you like to learn about items for warding off evil spirits? If a person is murdered or died unjustly, there will always be residual yin energy. Long-term contact with this energy is harmful to the body and may even cause one to become tainted by it, attracting bad things. Our Rebirth Hall sells various peach wood amulets, which can be carried with you to ward off evil spirits. We also have high-grade ones that can directly drive away all evil..."

"No need... I have a charm that my sister obtained from Narukami Shrine, which has a similar effect..." Shikanoin Heizo waved his hand awkwardly, somewhat overwhelmed by Kurumi's sudden enthusiasm.

"You're mistaken. Of course, the more exorcising items the better. This peach wood bracelet was made by the renowned Chunyang Taoist priest of Liyue. It contains a wisp of pure Yang energy, keeping ghosts and monsters away. It's perfect for a detective like you who frequently handles murder cases..."

With her silver tongue, Hu Tao managed to persuade the young detective to purchase a peach wood plaque imbued with pure yang energy.

Kanoen Heizo never expected things to develop this way.

He clearly intended to follow them and see what they were up to, but instead, he inexplicably ended up spending a sum of money on a peach wood pendant that he didn't even know if it was useful.

Seeing that Shinoin Heizo was half-believing and half-doubting as he took the card, Kurumi was displeased.

"Don't underestimate this token. Although it's a bit pricey, its effects are truly remarkable! Our Rebirth Hall is a thousand-year-old establishment that never engages in fraudulent transactions. If you don't believe me, you can ask the merchants in Liyue Island..."

"That's right! We came to Inazuma this time to make our Wangshengtang brand known throughout Inazuma. You're our first customer in Inazuma, so we've already given you a discount. If you like it and want to buy more, the price won't be the same..."

Hu Tao and Jiang Bai worked together in unison, using sales pitches that left the audience completely bewildered.

Kanoen Heizo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; he now understood what the two men's plan was.

He regretted following along.

Jiang Bai waved goodbye to Pingzang as he left, "Take care, Pingzang! If you find it useful, remember to recommend it to your colleagues!"

Pingzang ran incredibly fast, afraid that if he was even a step too slow, Pingzang would grab him and give him another sales pitch.

Seeing the detective walk away, the two high-fived in celebration, everything understood without a word.

As Hu Tao walked towards the hotel, she counted the mora, listening to the crisp sound of the mora colliding, and she was in an exceptionally good mood.

"I earned 180,000 Mora right after arriving on the island, what a great start!"

Jiang Bai suddenly remembered something, "Master, how many of these peach wood tokens made by Chongyun did you bring?"

"A dozen or so, what's wrong?"

"I want to give it as a gift to a friend I met in Inazuma..."

"No problem, how many do you want?"

The Ara-Taki School.

Ichidou lay listlessly on the table.

"How come Ah Bai disappeared after going off on business? I kind of miss him..."

"It's probably not that simple. Remember the person who called him away that day? That person is now a wanted criminal..."

Chapter 508 Boss, how do you plan to get into jail?

It took Yidou a moment to realize what was happening, and he jumped to his feet. "Then my little brother is in danger! No, I have to go to the jail to see if he's been arrested!"

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

Hisaki Shinobu closed the door, crossed his arms to block the entrance, and stared at him speechlessly: "Boss, how do you plan to get into jail?"

Arataki Ichito replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, we should have the Tenryo Magistrate arrest me!"

Hisaki Shinobu: "..."

She sighed and rubbed her forehead, knowing this would be the answer.

She said somewhat helplessly, "If I want to know if he's in jail, I can just have someone ask him..."

He clapped his hands and said, "That's true."

"As expected, we still have to rely on you, Shinobu!"

Araki Ichito patted her shoulder, as if the Araki faction couldn't function without her, then waved his hand and called to his underlings:

"Yuanta, Ashou, Ahuang! Let's go to the city and wander around, ask around, and see if we can find Abai!"

......

In the middle of the night, Jiang Bai took Hu Tao and sneaked from the outlying island to Narushin Island.

The lockdown order has not been lifted yet. Although it is not as strict as before, you still need to go through procedures if you want to travel from the outlying islands to Narukami Island.

The procedures weren't easy to complete, and the two of them were too lazy to bother with them. Jiang Bai, familiar with the process, smuggled Hu Tao across the border by air.

Upon arriving at Narukami Island, we found a sheltered and safe spot and skillfully pitched our tent to sleep.

The two slept until they naturally woke up; in short, it was blissful.

The two strolled slowly from Konta Village to White Fox Field, and then started catching butterflies right there in the field.

The White Fox Fields is a very large field inhabited by many animals, but the most famous of them are the foxes.

Shh! I've spotted a white fox.

Hu Tao squatted in the grass and whispered to Jiang Bai beside her.

"Should we arrest him?" Jiang Bai asked, eager to try.

Hu Tao shook her head, "No, thank you..."

The little fox was living a perfectly good life, what kind of nonsense is it to capture it?

After observing for a while, Hu Tao rested her chin on her hand and said, "It just looks like an ordinary fox, not like a monster..."

"We shouldn't encounter monsters so easily..."

Jiang Bai was immediately proven wrong after saying that.

A fox spirit suddenly emerged, looking at Jiang Bai with surprise. It clasped its two small paws together, bowing like a human.

"Fox Deity!"

"what?"

Jiang Bai was completely bewildered.

"Little one, you've mistaken me for someone else."

How could he possibly be associated with a fox spirit?

Hu Tao curiously approached, looking with wonder at the talking raccoon spirit that carried a bundle like a human.

"Huh? Did I mistake you for someone else?" The little fox demon scratched its head, looking a little troubled.

"But you carry the aura of the Fox Deity..."

At this point, Jiang Bai remembered something. He took out the protective charm given to him by the Eightfold Divine Child, "Is this the fox spirit aura you were talking about?"

"That's right, that's right!" The little fox demon nodded excitedly.

"Fox Spirit, please come with me!"

Before Jiang Bai could say anything, he saw the little fox demon run away quickly on its own. The two exchanged a glance and followed after it.

We're here to have fun anyway, let's see what this little raccoon demon is up to.

The two originally planned to go to Inazuma Castle, but they changed direction with the little tanuki and went to the Forest of Guardians.

"Lord Gobaikō! Lord Gobaikō! I've found the Fox Spirit!"

The little raccoon spirit hops and skips, yet runs incredibly fast. Judging from its ability to converse fluently with humans, it is already a little monster who has lived for many years.

Jiang Bai and his companion followed the little fox demon to a giant stone statue.

The stone statue is chubby and has an endearing, simple appearance. It is holding a bowl in its hand and looks a bit like a human and a bit like a fox spirit.

Next to the large stone statue are several smaller stone statues, which are clearly recognizable as raccoon demons.

"Where is it! Where is it! Is that stinky fox finally coming to see us?!"

An aged voice suddenly emanated from the stone statue, its emotion inexplicable, startling Jiang Bai.
