Chapter 38: Investigations
Sitting behind his luxurious desk, Lee Dong-taek was holding a sharp razor and fixing two moustaches.
"I don't like trimming my moustache because it's a pain in the ass, but for the sake of elegance, it's a price that must be borne." Li Dongze smiled, scrutinized him, and said:
"Looks like you passed the screening of the Taichi Sect."
Shichang really knows what the Taichi Sect is looking for me for, and actually didn't give me a hint beforehand, you'll lose me this way ....... Zhang Yuanqing said casually:
"Shishou also knows about the Demon Lord?"
"Among the official organizations, evil organizations, civic organizations, as well as wild casual cultivators, the number of high level spirit realm walkers who have died at the hands of the Demon Sovereign exceeds the number of hands, and with his ferocious reputation, it is only natural that I am aware of it." Li Dongze said as he focused on trimming his beard:
"But such a great man is too far away from us, an elephant may trample an ant to death, but it will never deliberately trample an ant."
The Demon Monarch isn't a good guy, how did Bing get associated with this kind of guy? Zhang Yuanqing took the opportunity to say:
"Shishang, please help me consult the Jiangnan Province side, I want to know the progress of Lei Yibing's case. Also, help me check Lei Yibing's path of action, interpersonal interactions and so on during his college years, the more detailed the better."
Previously, because he was still a novice and lacked the ability and experience, Zhang Yuanqing had harbored the fantasy of a "long-term mission" regarding Bing's disappearance.
But now that he knew the truth about the Demon Sovereign's role card, he had to redefine Bing's disappearance.
Why did Bing disappear? Is he dead or alive? What is the reason for giving the Demon King role card to himself?
The truth behind this was shrouded in layer upon layer of fog, it was about Brother Bing, it was about himself, even if his strength was low now, he had to try to explore and investigate.
Bing only sent him character cards without revealing any information, and the reason for that was understandable; there were times when it wasn't that he didn't want to talk and others couldn't pry his mouth open.
Today's questioning was an example.
Bing didn't say anything, mostly for his sake, but would definitely leave behind corresponding clues to guide him step by step to explore and unravel the truth, thus, Zhang Yuanqing needed as much as possible, information about Bing.
Li Dongze nodded his head thoughtfully, "Okay, I will call and ask my colleagues over there, but it will take time."
In his opinion, it was human nature for Yuanqing to be concerned about the well-being of his hairy little one, but Li Dongze felt that as a Spirit Realm Walker, entering the Spirit Realm for up to a week would more than likely result in death inside.
After talking about Bing, Zhang Yuanqing then cut to the chase, his face serious:
"Shishang, I have something to report."
Seeing his subordinate's seriousness, Li Dongze put down his razor, closed his makeup mirror, slightly straightened his back, and said:
"What is it?"
Zhang Yuanqing immediately informed Li Dongze in detail about the hospital where his sister-in-law was haunted and had inadvertently brought the infant spirit home, but on the intelligence of the spirit servant, he had concealed and modified it.
Describing the infant spirit as the kind of dull spirit that had been sacrificed, but had not been promoted into a spirit servant.
As he said this, Zhang Yuanqing composed his emotions so that his expression and tone did not reveal any cracks to avoid being detected by the scouts.
Finally, he concluded, "I suspect that there are Spirit Realm Walkers experimenting with refining Spirit Servants in the hospital, most likely Nightwalkers. But I don't know if they are wild or official."
Li Dongze's face got worse and worse as he listened, and he couldn't help but grip his cane tightly as he said angrily:
"Oh god, this is a guy who deserves to go to hell, I'll make him pay for his behavior, I swear."
Devouring a spiritual body is a different concept than enslaving it; a spiritual body will always dissipate, it's inevitable, devouring it is bringing that forward.
And refining a spirit body to drive it from a spirit servant was against humane principles, not to mention an infant spirit.
Prohibiting the refining of spirit servants from the spirit bodies of ordinary people is also out of humanitarianism. The straightforward explanation is, if your family member or friend, who is a special spirit body, is refined into a spirit servant after death, how do you feel?
I thought you would say, I really want to kick his ass with my boots ...... Zhang Yuanqing mentally spat at Shishang's oral fetish.
"Shishou, I've already transcended that child and read the target person from its memories, I would like to apply for a solo mission to exercise." Zhang Yuanqing offered his opinion.
When he finished speaking, he knew that Li Dongze would definitely not agree.
Li Dongze indeed shook his head:
"Your idea is good, but in the process of accumulating experience, it's inevitable that you'll step on potholes, and among Spirit Realm Walkers, a single mistake could be death. Tell you what, let Guanya accompany you, her physical skills and shooting are better than mine."
"Okay Shishou." Zhang Yuanqing was secretly happy in his heart.
In the case of the baby spirit, he had to get the lead in order to cover up the existence of the little comedian, but as Li Dongze had said, in the case of a spirit realm walker, one must be cautious and careful, and the price of negligence was often death, and Ou Xiangrong was a case in point.
Therefore, he needed an experienced helper.
When he proposed that he wanted to experience, the probability was that Li Dongze would give up personally and compromise by having Guanya accompany him.
This was because we all knew in our hearts that as a Night Wanderer and with rule-based props in his possession, Zhang Yuanqing had a high tolerance for error, and idle dangers could not be difficult for him to defeat.
In Zhang Yuanqing's opinion, Guanya was much "better" than Li Dongze.
"Then I'll go find Guanya now?"
Li Dongze let out a "hmmm" and suddenly scoffed, "Nice song, no singing next time."
"......"
..........
Kangyang District, Pingtai Hospital.
As a tertiary hospital, Pingtai's main signature was obstetrics and gynecology, with several authoritative experts in the field sitting in the hospital, which could be ranked in the top five obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in the country.
The black commercial car drove into the hospital, the doors slid open automatically, Guanya examined Zhang Yuanqing's dull face and asked with concern, "Looking at cell phones and computers lately, are there any overlapping images on the screen."
"Why do you ask?" Zhang Yuanqing, who was thinking about how to uncover his target, retrieved his thoughts.
Guanya tilted the corners of her delicate mouth and blinked her watery winks, "Your expression tells me that you have not been restrained recently."
Zhang Yuanqing had long been accustomed to her style of language and ignored it, saying:
"Shishang asked me to cooperate with you, in this situation, what do we usually do first?"
Guanya put away her smile and said in a serious manner:
"First lock the target person, then investigate his identity in reality, you've seen his appearance, it's not difficult to lock the target. Then make contact with him, if the other party is not strong, control him directly, on the contrary, notify the shiksa and arrest him violently.
"But we're not sure if there are accomplices in the hospital, and we're not sure about the scale of refining spirit servants, so it's best to stay put and do a mapping of Pintai Hospital first.
"We can start with the rumors of hauntings, when they started, determine the general timeframe, and whether there are any other rumors of hauntings other than baby spirits.
"Check the records of abortions and miscarriages during that time, male babies and not too young in months, there can't be too many of such groups, it's not hard to pin down the identity of the baby spirits.
"Infants are unusually weak in spirit power, and will dissipate very quickly once they die young, so any persons who came into contact with pregnant women during that time are targets for our screening.
"Of these people, if there is a target that you asked the spirit to see, then carry out an arrest, if not, then it means there is an accomplice."
Thoughts are so clear, is this a scout ...... Zhang Yuanqing listened in a daze and said, "My sister-in-law is in the hospital, I'm not too convenient to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department, why don't we split up, I'll check the spirit related content, and on the obstetrics and gynecology department side, you go to feel the bottom."
The two of them got out of the car, put on masks and duck-tongued caps, and split up outside the outpatient building.
Entering the building and taking the elevator to the fourth floor, Guanya's eyes swept over a woman with a slightly rumbling belly or a big belly, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Facing her came a female doctor in a white coat, her round googly-egg face was fair and delicate, her eyes were large and bright, her nose was straight, and her wavy hair was draped over her back.
With a piece of candy in her mouth, her cheeks were slightly bulging, which made her even more sweet and cute.
Guanya, who held herself to be beautiful, was still in awe when she saw this veiled female doctor.
She quickly greeted her and blocked in front of the female doctor, smiling, "Doctor, I've recently planned to prepare for pregnancy, and I don't know what to pay attention to."
.........
On the other hand, Zhang Yuanqing came to the secluded hallway and summoned Little Tease.
"Aba aba ......"
The round and cute baby with sparse tire hair was lying on the ground, its ebony eyes looking at Zhang Yuanqing with innocence.
Zhang Yuanqing conveyed thoughts like "move freely" and "go play" to it.
He planned to use the little teasing boy to lure the snake out of its hole. When a precious spirit servant was lost, the person behind it would definitely search for it, and when he found the baby spirit reappearing in the hospital, he would definitely be attracted to it.
Taking a step back, even if the plan to lure the snake out of the hole failed, Little Tease would still be able to lead him to the person behind the scenes, and it would have an impression of the guy who refined it, and even be naturally close to it.
With Zhang Yuanqing's permission, Little Tease paddled its limbs cheerfully and climbed up along the building.
Zhang Yuanqing followed it all the way to the fourth floor, pushed open the door of the building, entered the waiting hall, and then trailed all the way to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Is that guy really in the obstetrics and gynecology department?
Zhang Yuanqing was just thinking about it, when he heard a silver bell-like laughter coming from him: ''Is that right, is that right, you also like that brand of skin care products? I often go abroad, so I'll bring some over for you later."
This was Guanya's voice.
Looking around, the woman was laughing and gabbing with a female doctor.
The female doctor in the white coat was his sister-in-law.
Hell! Zhang Yuanqing lowered the brim of his hat and tried his best to keep his gaze down, not looking at his sister-in-law and avoiding eye contact.
Although he was wearing a mask and a hat, with his sister-in-law's familiarity with him, and with the two of them knowing each other, he would be able to recognize it was him just by looking at his eyes.
That's when he saw the little tease crawling happily towards his sister-in-law.
