Chapter 77 [Tai Sui]
After seeing the two off, the White Bone Demon could finally pry out the Black Tortoise with her hands.
"It shouldn't have been discovered by the movie theater. They sensed something was wrong and took precautions beforehand. They're so incompetent, they wouldn't have noticed."
As the White Bone Demon worked on the wood carving, she pondered, "They just told me not to use my phone, and that it would be fine after midnight..."
"Besides sending messages, a cell phone is pretty useless. Are you trying to prevent me from contacting others or tipping them off?"
"An operation at midnight? I don't know what kind of operation the Public Security Bureau has planned. Could it be Zhang Yijun?"
Based on the previous investigation of Xiao Liu by Ma Gan, Bai Gu Jing immediately suspected Zhang Yi Jun.
If the police department has a problem, it's most likely her.
However, apart from her hands not resembling those of a sculptor, Zhang Yijun possessed no similar aura.
Unless she is accompanied by a monster far surpassing herself, she will not be able to hide it from herself once she is infected.
"wrong……"
The White Bone Demon paused in her carving: "The shadow is eerie, the zither music is eerie, the petrification is eerie, the blood wine is eerie, and there's Zhang Qingguan with a turtle..."
The commotion at the New Year should have silenced all the strange and supernatural beings.
Even if they were restless, they couldn't have caused such a commotion that a bunch of their kind would settle down here.
Previously, Ice Cream, Zombie Silk, Mosquito Man, and Yanran all did their own thing.
This time, however, it's completely different. The Shadow Ghost and the Musical Ghost are clearly related, and perhaps... they may have already joined forces?
The previous case involving the Shadow Ghost wasn't about making a quick buck and running away; it was premeditated.
At that time, most of the police force was transferred out, and now the police force is investigating...
Is there something they want inside the police station?
Qi and Blood Pills?
Or... have they set their sights on three of their own from the Public Security Bureau?
"If something happens to the police station, we'll have backup food supplies like female crabs and roast chicken..."
The White Bone Demon pondered.
He also planned to keep them as a reserve food supply.
Of course, the White Bone Demon isn't the kind of monster who pulls off a quick heist; she prefers a steady, long-term approach, grabbing whatever opportunity arises.
"I wonder if Zhang Yijun will react when she sees this little pig jade pendant?"
Gu Bai put down the wooden carving, put on his leather jacket, and went out with the little pig jade pendant.
In the meeting room of the Public Security Bureau, only Zhang Qingguan, Chen Youzhi, Yanran, and Li Hongyi were present.
"Li Qingfeng sent word that the raid was successful and the shadow medium has been captured," Chen Youzhi said in a deep voice.
"It seems we really have a problem," Li Hongyi said coldly.
Yanran said softly, "But the problem is, how do we find these people? We can't keep monitoring each other forever. You've been monitoring their phones, but you haven't found any clues."
"The Xuanwu wood carving is finished. Let them wear it first." Zhang Qingguan took out the wood carving, his face full of a confident smile: "Since it's not using a cell phone to send messages, then we must prevent strange forces from transmitting messages. Once a fluctuation is detected, Xuanwu will issue an alert and relay it to me."
"What if it's another method? Like the simplest one, a note?" Yanran asked.
"Passing notes is too slow, and delivering them is also a problem," Li Hongyi continued. "Let's start with the key suspects and give them the Xuanwu wood carving."
"The effect of the basalt wood carving is known only to us, and we hope it will not be revealed."
Chen Youzhi lit a cigarette and looked at them: "Don't notify Gu Qingyi for now. Just say you're guarding the wood carving, don't say you're monitoring it."
"Hmm." Li Hongyi nodded gently: "Then all of them are guarding the wooden carvings to prevent any loopholes from being discovered."
"That's all for now, meeting adjourned." Chen Youzhi sighed.
Zhang Qingguan stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk to see how that girl who released animals is doing."
"Go ahead, Gu Bai and Gu Xiaojiao are in that neighborhood too. If you have any trouble, you can go to them," Chen Youzhi said.
"No need, I haven't encountered any trouble yet," Zhang Qingguan said confidently, waving his hand.
……
Inside a teahouse in the city.
Two men and one woman are enjoying tea.
A handsome man in ancient costume, a man in a Western suit, and a woman in a white dress.
The man in ancient attire took a sip of tea: "Why isn't that person here?"
The woman in the white dress asked, "Which side is it from?"
The man in the suit loosened his tie: "I don't know which side he's from. He's from the same province as that guy who runs a pyramid scheme and sells blood wine, yet he got in touch with me."
"Aren't the other provinces enough for them? Why do they have to extend their reach into our Jiangcheng?" The woman in the white dress frowned.
"When it comes to pyramid schemes, the more people the better, because every person you recruit is a source of revenue."
The man in ancient costume smiled and said, "As for it? At least we're friends now. If it weren't for the message it delivered, Li Qingfeng would have found clues about us long ago."
"This time, no message was delivered; one of my intermediaries was arrested," the man in the suit said coldly.
"The Public Security Bureau should have realized there's a problem internally," the man in ancient attire said calmly. "That's to be expected. So, tell me, have you found the [Tai Sui] yet?"
The woman in the white dress shook her head slightly: "No, however, the Public Security Bureau only obtained a portion of the mycelium of [Tai Sui] and the factory it set up. The bureau has no clues about the main body."
"The Qi and Blood Pill is actually quite good," the man in the suit said. "Humans use it very well, but unfortunately, it's not in our hands, so it won't work."
The man in ancient attire said, "Yes, this thing can only be controlled by us. It's not easy to pull chestnuts out of the fire. How's Zhang Qingguan doing?"
"He went into the police station and hasn't come out. I heard he was seriously injured," the man in the suit said.
"Oh? Who could hurt him?" the man in ancient costume asked in surprise.
The woman in the white dress said calmly, "The new district isn't as simple as you think. There's another one hiding in the shadows. The medium I left to test the police was drained dry by that guy. The surveillance cameras didn't capture any footage of it entering the scene. If I hadn't run fast, the message wouldn't have been able to get back."
"You mean, it injured Zhang Qingguan?" the two asked solemnly.
"It's highly likely. My surveillance system has no blind spots, so it couldn't capture it at all. The three key media outlets were completely powerless to resist. It must have at least the strength to rival our own body."
The woman in the white dress said solemnly, "It was probably also brought out by the [Tai Sui]. I'm afraid that in the end, someone else will reap the benefits."
"It wants to be the fisherman, but it'll have to see if it has the ability," the man in ancient costume chuckled. "We're both in the shadows; let's see who finds whom first."
"Oh, right, there's also that stupid crow. Should we keep an eye on it? It's pitifully weak and still trying to understand the human world," the woman in the white dress said.
The man in ancient costume pondered for a moment and said, "Let it handle it. Let's keep quiet for now. Zhang Qingguan will definitely take action. Let's not provoke him."
The man in the suit suddenly asked, "Have you found any clues about the one in the city?"
"We have a lead and are investigating." The man in ancient costume sneered, "It wanted to stay behind the scenes and push you out, playing a clever game, but it forgot that every action leaves a trace."
"I'll think of a way to pass the clue to Li Qingfeng and let the police uncover it," the man in the suit said.
"Then we'll leave it to Shadow." The man in ancient costume nodded slightly.
The woman in the white dress stood up: "I'm leaving too. I have a concert tonight."
"Wishing you a bountiful harvest." The two raised their teacups.
