Xiao Mei was startled by Hu Jiu's sudden harsh words, but quickly regained her composure. "You've agreed to participate in this mission?"
"Of course." Hu Jiu nodded. Sure enough, the Headquarters couldn't be underestimated; they caught him so quickly.
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. After all, it's a state apparatus; an attack on the Capital would not be treated lightly.
Xiao Mei added, "I'll send you all the detailed information about Langzhou City later. Be careful, after all, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake."
"Several officials in Langzhou City have died mysteriously in the past, but Headquarters needs to stabilize the situation and cannot spare the manpower to deal with it. Moreover, the forces there are very powerful and difficult to eliminate in one go, so it has been delayed until now, resulting in the current situation."
"Most minor matters are overlooked by Headquarters, but this time Headquarters can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. Those people have actually extended their reach to the university!"
Xiao Mei spoke with righteous indignation. Hu Jiu raised an eyebrow. This matter did indeed seem thorny at first glance. Several people in charge had died, which showed how badly the situation had deteriorated.
But Hu Jiu really had to go there in person, partly for Chu Shan and the complex forces behind him, and partly for the Headquarters.
He hadn't forgotten those eyes that had been watching him just now. According to the information He Ming had sent back, Headquarters' attitude towards him was very unusual, and those mysterious eyes had appeared just as He Ming had called him for help... This couldn't be a coincidence.
The Headquarters probably noticed something was wrong with He Ming and followed the clues to Hu Jiu. Although this was just a guess, Hu Jiu wouldn't take it lightly. With his current strength, there was no need for him to cower and pretend to be weak and harmless to dispel the Headquarters' suspicions. He could jump straight to the point of taking on the tiger and show his strength at the right time. His powerful martial arts would ensure that the Headquarters would always maintain a friendly relationship with him.
Chu Shan had been hiding in Langzhou University, but according to intelligence, many students had died there one after another, but the news was suppressed to maintain a facade of harmony.
The students at the school know some secrets, but they seem to be restricted from speaking out.
While thinking about things, she dialed He Ming's number.
"Old Hu!" He Ming's voice was tired, but it contained excitement and anticipation.
Hu Jiu didn't disappoint him. "Tell me your location, I'll come find you right away."
"What?" He Ming was incredulous that someone was actually willing to come and rescue him, but he didn't waste any time and immediately gave them an address.
"I'm currently hiding around. If my location changes, I'll contact you again!" He Ming said hurriedly and hung up the phone, as if he had encountered some urgent situation.
This phone call was just a formality; Hu Jiu knew perfectly well where He Ming was.
His figure gradually faded in the room until it disappeared completely.
On the other side, the disheveled He Ming once again evaded the encirclement and interception, secretly praying that Hu Jiu would arrive soon, as he could not hold on much longer!
Little did he know that the Ghost Tamer chasing him were also in a state of emotional collapse. Theoretically, He Ming should have been captured by them as soon as he got off the plane, but He Ming was exceptionally lucky to escape.
During the period that followed, He Ming was "almost" caught every time, but at the last minute, a turning point always appeared, and he managed to escape.
He Ming thought he was incredibly unlucky, being relentlessly pursued, but those who were pursuing him thought he was extremely lucky.
At this moment, Hu Jiu, whom He Ming was thinking about, did not immediately go to him to save him from his predicament, but instead appeared in another place.
In a high-end residential community in Langzhou City, Hu Jiu was sitting on a sofa in a resident's living room with his legs crossed, holding a file in his hand and reading it carefully.
A soft footstep came from the kitchen, and a slightly overweight middle-aged man carried a large basin into the living room. The basin was filled with freshly cooked meat. He had a smile on his face, but if you looked closely, you would be horrified to find that his movements were very stiff, his smile was very strange, and tears were streaming down his face.
Hu Jiu briefly looked away from the file, focusing on the middle-aged man's face. He tilted his head, his eyes filled with malice. "What are you crying for? How pretentious. So what if a few people died? As the detective with a 100% case-solving rate in Langzhou City, haven't you seen enough dead bodies? Why put on such a show?"
The middle-aged man was indeed a "super detective" who had appeared on television. With his unique investigative methods, he could fabricate evidence even when there was none. He was able to solve all the cases he handled in a short time and catch the real culprit.
"First fire the gun, then draw the target, treat the suspect as the criminal, then pin all the clues on the criminal, and use the Great Memory Restoration Technique —no wonder they catch him so easily." Hu Jiu exclaimed, truly worthy of being called a detective!
The middle-aged man was unable to speak, his tears gradually turning into bloody tears, yet he was unable to make the slightest move to resist. He was manipulated into wielding a kitchen knife, killing and dismembering people, chopping meat, boiling water, and cooking them raw...
"Move! Move! Kill him with the knife! Ah... Why! Why is my body out of control!" The middle-aged man struggled violently inside, but to no avail. He could only reach for the meat in the basin as instructed.
"No! You can't eat this!" The middle-aged man looked terrified, but he still chewed greedily, wolfing down his food. He devoured it all in no time, and his stomach swelled up like that of a woman about to give birth to twins or triplets.
Seeing the middle-aged man's eyes widen in fury, Hu Jiu couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression. "Your son tastes quite good, doesn't he? I'm going to ask you a few questions now. You answer whatever I ask, otherwise... I heard you also have a younger son who's in middle school?"
The middle-aged man's expression instantly turned to extreme terror.
Hu Jiu held up the file in front of him and asked, "This man Qin Dachuan witnessed a murder while visiting his daughter at Langzhou University. After reporting it to the police, he was arrested by the local police as the murderer, and after a trial, he was quickly executed. What exactly did Qin Dachuan see that made you so determined to kill him?"
The middle-aged man discovered he could speak again, but dared not shout or scream. He could only swallow his grief over the loss of his son for the time being. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said with a sob in his voice, "Qin Dachuan did see something he shouldn't have seen. It seemed to be a Feather Pen, but it involves the Supernatural, and I don't know the specifics. It was Chu Yan, the person in charge of Langzhou City, who personally gave the order to deal with all those who knew. Qin Dachuan was just a small person who was affected."
