Before Bu Chensu could answer Si Niannian's words, his cell phone rang.
"Minister Jun? Okay, I'll come right away."
After hanging up the phone, Bu Chensu went back and drove the car out, took Si Niannian with him and went out.
"Minister Jun asked us to go to the inner city and let us take a look at the things we found in the Su family."
Chi Zhiyu looked at the car going away and slapped his forehead suddenly, "How could I forget this?"
He wanted to chase the car, but Bu Chensu was driving a little too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chi Zhiyu had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and call Si Niannian.
"Master, I went to Dona Studio today to try on clothes for the concert. I overheard the designers there discussing privately. They said that when the second young lady of the Su family was trying on the engagement dress, she was seen wearing... all that kind of... trace."
Si Niannian responded, "I already know about this. By the way, Xiaoyu, you go find Luoluo now and stay with her. I'm a little worried about her."
"I understand, Master, don't worry."
Chi Zhiyu agreed and quickly drove to find An Luo.
Inner city, detective department.
When Si Niannian and Bu Chen arrived, they happened to see Si Xinghe and Zhou Qian who had just gotten out of the car.
"Uncle Third, Uncle Qi, are you here too?"
Si Niannian walked over and asked, "Is it also about the Su family?"
Si Xinghe nodded, "Did you also receive a call from Minister Jun?"
"Well, Minister Jun's tone on the phone was very serious. It seems that he has made some important discovery." Bu Chensu said, putting his hand on the sensor at the door and looking up at the camera above.
This is the security system of the first gate of the Detective Department. It not only checks fingerprints and palm prints, but also checks facial features and pupils. This information will be synchronized to it as soon as possible, and the relevant personnel will confirm the identity and then decide whether to release the person. Come in.
A special formation is set up on the second door, covering the entire Detective Department. As long as you step into this door, no matter how deep the cultivation level of the visitor is, you will be restricted. If you force a breakthrough and want to use spiritual power, you will be Cause backlash.
This kind of backlash varies from person to person, but the consequences are not very good, so generally few people are willing to take that risk.
Several people passed through heavy defenses and finally reached the interior of the Detective Department.
Someone is waiting for them.
"Master Qi, Third Master, Bu Shao, the little princess, and the minister are waiting for you all in the office. Please come here."
Jun Guangyuan's office is in the basement and can only be reached by a dedicated elevator.
When Si Niannian and others saw him, he was holding a magnifying glass and looking at something.
"Master Qi, Third Master, the matter is urgent, so I won't be polite to you. Mr. Bu, little princess, you also sit down and take a look at these things together."
Jun Guangyuan pushed the things on the table forward.
There are maps, photos, some curios, and a USB flash drive.
"This is..." Si Niannian picked up the map first. She was very familiar with the terrain on it, "Phoenix Mountain?"
Jun Guangyuan raised his eyebrows. He had been studying the map for a long time. He even scanned it on the computer and checked it. He couldn't find out where it was. He didn't expect that the little princess of the Si family recognized it at a glance.
"Little princess, are you sure?"
Si Niannian nodded, "Of course, I grew up here. I walk around the mountains every day, how could I not recognize him?"
"Minister Jun, where did you get this map?" Bu Chensu asked.
Si Xinghe also took the map and looked at it carefully. "Although it is made of cowhide, it is not old. It doesn't look like it should be put together with these things."
He was referring to the curios nearby.
Both Si Xinghe and Zhou Qian knew this. At a glance, they knew that those antiques were serious items. If you put any of them at auction, they would be priceless and could fetch sky-high prices.
Jun Guangyuan looked at a few people and said, "Be mentally prepared, don't be scared."
"Su family."
Several people:"… "
"Su family?" Si Xinghe put down the map, "You mean, the Su family that you just sealed?"
He casually picked up an inkstone and said, "This doesn't look like something that can be found in the Su family."
Jun Guangyuan has been the head of the Detective Department for so many years. Although he spent most of his time in the inner city, he also knew some of the prominent families in the outer city.
The ancestors of the Su family were engaged in detective work. After being promoted by Dan Shen and Tang Wuye, they opened their doors and established a family. The descendants of the Su family also strived for success. Gradually, the Su family rose to prominence until it became one of the four major families.
Therefore, although the Su family is also a family with a century-old heritage, its background is much thinner than that of other families, and it is impossible to obtain so many treasures.
"These were all found in the room of the second young lady of the Su family." Jun Guangyuan added.
This is interesting.
Si Xinghe and Zhou Zhou looked at each other with a hint of interest on their faces.
Bu Chensu's face was still expressionless. He was more concerned about Si Niannian next to him than the things on the table.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Bu Chensu looked at Si Niannian's shocked expression, and his first reaction was to put him in his arms and comfort him.
Especially when he saw that her eyes were a little red, Bu Chensu even had the urge to bring Sumu Qiao over right now and crush her bones into ashes.
He carefully held Si Niannian's face and turned her attention to him. His voice was gentle and doting, as if he was afraid that if he spoke louder, he would scare the little girl in his arms.
"Baby, Brother Su is here."
There was no need for too many comforting words or questions, just such a simple sentence was enough to calm Si Niannian's mind.
She looked at Bu Chensu and pointed at the antiques on the table.
His voice was slightly choked, "These are my master's burial companions."
Hearing this, Bu Chen Su looked surprised, and then he held her in his arms, caressing her gently and comforting her softly, "Brother Su will definitely accompany you to find out about this matter, be good."
Jun Guangyuan was also stunned, "So, the second lady of the Su family stole the tomb of the little princess's master?"
Cultivators believe most in cause and effect and are most afraid of damaging one's moral character, so few people would do such a thing.
Si Xinghe carefully put down the inkstone in his hand. The amusement in his eyes had faded away, replaced by solemnity and coldness.
"How does Su Muchiao know where Master Nian Nian's grave is? Nian Nian once said that the entire Phoenix Mountain has been set up with formations, and others cannot enter at all. Even the disciples who left the mountain gate cannot return to worship because of this. So how did Su Muchiao "Go in?"
Jun Guangyuan pondered for a moment and said, "This is another reason why I invited you here today."
"Another reason?" Si Xinghe thought for a while, "Or is it related to Su Muchiao?"
Jun Guangyuan nodded, "Actually, we have been investigating Su Muchiao. We suspect..."
A rapid knock on the door suddenly interrupted Jun Guangyuan's words.
He didn't frown, but still pressed the remote control button on the table, and the door that was originally locked opened with a click.
A young man pushed open the door and entered immediately. It was the man who brought Si Niannian and others here before.
"Minister, something seems to have happened to Guan Bao."
Time was urgent, and he didn't care that there were other people here. Anyway, they were all people the minister could trust, and it should be okay to know.
Si Niannian suddenly turned his head to look at Jun Guangyuan, "Guan Bao? Minister Jun, what's going on?"
Jun Guangyuan was also confused, "Please tell me clearly, what happened to Guan Bao?"
"Guan Bao suddenly lost contact an hour ago. His vital signs were weird. He must have been drugged. I immediately asked No. 6 and No. 8, who were lurking in secret, to go to support, but there was no news."
Jun Guangyuan stood up and said, "Start Plan B immediately."
"Yes, Minister."
The man responded and hurriedly turned around and went out.
Si Niannian and the others were still in confusion, waiting for Jun Guangyuan to explain.
"I, I'll tell you on the way."
When Jun Guangyuan thought of Lu Wanqin, who was famous in both inner and outer cities, his scalp felt numb and his heart trembled.
If something happened to Lu Wanqin's precious son in his hands, would this woman come over and overthrow the detective department
On the way to the outer city, in order to make it easier to talk, several people made a surveillance trailer for the Detective Department.
There are several monitors placed in the car, all of which show pictures of various roads near the southern suburbs resort.
"Minister Jun, are you saying that Guan Bao is working as an undercover agent for you?" Si Niannian couldn't believe it.
Bu Chensu and Si Xinghe also had slightly surprised expressions. In their impression, Guan Bao was still the fat guy who didn't care about anything except eating. It was difficult to associate him with being an undercover agent.
Jun Guangyuan was full of praise for Guan Bao, "He applied for the Detective Department a year ago, and after passing the selection process, he officially became a detective. Originally, as a newcomer, it was impossible to assign him such a task. But this case is very special, and the suspect has an unusual relationship with Guan Bao, so Guan Bao himself offered to be an undercover agent and cooperate with us inside and outside. "
"Guan Bao actually applied for the Detective Department? But he..."
Si Niannian looked at Jun Guangyuan, "It is impossible to work in the Detective Department without undergoing a physical examination. Regarding Guan Bao's physical condition, Minister Jun, do you know anything about it?"
"Little princess, I know what you are talking about. Guan Bao has L physique. Don't worry, no one else in the entire detective department knows about this except me. This is his privacy."
Jun Guangyuan would say it so directly because the people in the car now, except the driver, are all his own, and since the moment he got in the car, Bu Chensu had established a barrier. The driver was only responsible for driving and did not listen at all. No matter what they say.
"Minister Jun, after talking so much, you still haven't said what the case is? Also, what is the other reason why you asked us to come today?"
Zhou Qi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
With his status in the world of cultivation, ordinary small cases are not necessary at all, and it can even be said that it is not worth bothering him. But when Jun Guangyuan invited someone today, he specifically asked Zhou Zhou to go with him. This shows that this case is definitely not simple. .
Si Xinghe nodded, "Yes, I'm also curious about what kind of skills this Su Muchiao has and what kind of crimes he has committed. He actually bothered the Detective Department to take action himself."
The Su family are from outside the city, so even if a case is committed, it will be handled by the Detective Bureau. Unless the case is particularly important and involves a wide range of things, it will be handed over to the Detective Department.
Jun Guangyuan's expression became heavy, he adjusted his sitting posture, and said in a deep voice: "We suspect that someone around Su Muchiao has the ability to predict things, and uses this ability to repeatedly commit crimes for personal gain, and Su Muchiao is an accomplice, or even a co-conspirator. "
"Predictive ability?" Si Xinghe laughed directly, "Minister Jun, are you kidding me?"
"No, Third Master, I am very serious. Only a few people in our task force know about this matter, and we have verified it repeatedly. There is absolutely no mistake."
Jun Guangyuan called up several previous cases on his computer. "Some of these cases were thefts, some were murders, and some did not even constitute crimes. They seemed unrelated, but the same car appeared near the crime scene. The rut marks of the car and the surveillance video of Su Muchiao driving away were also found in the nearby store.”
"What was lost in the theft?" Si Niannian asked.
Jun Guangyuan glanced at Si Niannian, "The little princess really got the point right. These cases vary in severity, but the one that caught our attention was the theft case. The person who reported the case was an old lady, an ordinary person, and she was the one who was lost. The Dowry, a very ordinary cookbook.”
"This kind of case doesn't require your detective department to take action, right?" Si Xinghe asked with a raised eyebrow.
Jun Guangyuan nodded, "Yes, according to the old lady, it is not a cookbook at all, but a peerless exercise book. This is what her mother told her before she died. She also told her not to practice it and that she must To keep it a secret, this old lady was not a cultivator herself, so she kept this book as a relic of her mother, but unexpectedly, it was lost. "
"Does anyone else know that this cookbook actually contains ten peerless exercises?" Bu Chensu suddenly asked.
Jun Guangyuan shook his head, "The old lady emphasized again and again that no one else in the world knew except her, and on the day her home was robbed, nothing was lost except the book."
Si Niannian shrugged his shoulders, "But based on this alone, you don't doubt that Su Muchiao would have predicted it. Maybe she got the news through other channels, or maybe the old lady's mother revealed it to others before."
Jun Guangyuan smiled, "If it were just this, we would not have made such a bold guess, but it was enough to bring Su Muchiao into our observation field. Soon, we found that Su Muchiao often went out for training, and every time The places she went to were very strange, not places that most people would choose. Every time she came back, she gained a lot and her cultivation improved. However, the time she spent was very short, ranging from three to five days to half a year. Month, no more than one month at most.”
"One month is indeed a short time for experience. Just to find the target location, it takes more than this time. If it is once or twice, it can be said that Su Muchiao is very lucky, but if it happens like this every time , that would be interesting.”
Si Xinghe was tired from sitting, so he leaned back and leaned bonelessly on Zhou Qi's body, with his legs draped aside, feeling extremely leisurely.
"This can explain why Su Muchiao knew where Niannian and Luoluo were retreating, and how to break the formation to get in." Si Xinghe's voice was a little cold. Regarding the fact that Si Niannian almost died, he also There is no settlement with Sumu Qiao.
