Pah, Morally Degenerate

"Butler Tang" was also someone Ji Qinglin met on the dark web. Seeing Ji Qinglin's high success rate in killing wanted criminals, the other party proactively extended an olive branch.

Their cooperation had been very successful multiple times. "Butler Tang" provided accurate information and didn't ask for high prices. Ji Qinglin speculated that he was likely a police chief in the police station who needed achievements in catching wanted criminals or someone with a sense of justice.

Yu Ye kept asking about the wanted criminals Ji Qinglin had previously dealt with. While the two were chatting, "Butler Tang's" information was sent over.

Yu Ye opened it and found that the content was indeed more detailed: in addition to the personal information not written on the wanted warrant, she could even see some of Duan Tianpeng's whereabouts from three days ago. The police station didn't release this information in case there was an arrest mission that could take him by surprise.

Ji Qinglin drank tea while watching Yu Ye analyze, listening to the latter compare the obtained image information with the map and analyze, "Starting from his recent whereabouts, this person entered Xin Dong Street's Miscellaneous Goods Alley three days ago."

"Pfft!"

Ji Qinglin spat out a mouthful of tea and immediately leaned over to take a closer look, confirming that Yu Ye was not mistaken.

"What's wrong, Master?"

"You don't even know the name of our alley, do you?"

Yu Ye also reacted, her almond eyes widened in surprise, "No way! Such a coincidence?"

"Shh, first pull up the store's video to take a look. There are many coincidences in the world, but people just don't notice them usually."

Opening the video surveillance, the master and apprentice quickly screened the customers who came to the store to buy things three days ago.

It was a good thing that there weren't many customers who came to the store, and soon Ji Qinglin found a suspicious man, carrying a backpack, wearing a windbreaker, sunglasses, and earrings, with short hair, looking around before entering the store.

"It should be him."

"How can you be so sure? His appearance doesn't look anything like the description."

"It's not difficult to change faces these days. A thief like him has probably changed his face many times. The police station's general clues are based on scanning the body shape and gait to confirm whether the identity is likely to match, and then looking at fingerprints and blood type after the arrest, while ordinary people basically can't recognize him."

"Indeed, he looked around before and after entering the store, probably observing the surrounding environment."

"Yes, the main thing is that when he was looking around in the store, his eyes didn't linger on you for long. For the men who have come into the store these days, that's very abnormal."

Yu Ye chuckled, "If you put it that way, wouldn't that make you abnormal, Master? Hiss~ Ah~ I was wrong, I was wrong! Master, stop pressing!"

Crazy Night: I think with your current resistance to electricity, you can handle a few Palm Thunders without any problem.

Yu Ye: Tsk, proximity to vermilion makes one red; I find that my mouth is getting more and more venomous with Master.

The first thing to do now is to find Duan Tianpeng's foothold. Through the store's video perspective, they saw him enter Miscellaneous Goods Alley, but they didn't see him leave.

Besides a few small shops, there was nothing to live in the entire alley, but the small shops next door were all on the shady side of a small building. The hotel was upstairs, and the entrance to the hotel was on the other side. From Miscellaneous Goods Alley, you could only see the windows of individual rooms in the hotel.

"Master, he's likely rented a room by the window, and then came to Miscellaneous Goods Alley to observe the escape route. According to his agility, it's definitely no problem to return to the room from the alleys."

That was likely the case, but Ji Qinglin still went to the front desk to verify, and finally confirmed that Duan Tianpeng really lived in the middle room by the window.

"Yu Ye, you're really lucky, a Flying Mantis delivered to our door."

"Master, when are we going to make a move?"

"It's best to do it at night. Anyway, we're more familiar with the environment here than he is, but these thieves are very cautious. A surprise attack or going directly to the door is likely to let him run away. We have to find a way to catch him off guard."

As Ji Qinglin spoke, he unconsciously sized up Yu Ye again.

Yu Ye frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart:

"Master, you don't want to... a thief like him wouldn't fall for a simple Honey Trap, would he?"

Ji Qinglin smiled mysteriously:

"That trick can't be used, I just want to borrow something from you."

"You're not talking about... lingerie, are you?"

"What are you thinking? I just want to borrow your voice."

Late at night, the lonely stars and cold moon shone down, and the vendors on the main road of Xin Dong Street had all left.

In the small hotel in Miscellaneous Goods Alley, Duan Tianpeng sat by the window, examining the treasure in his hand by the moonlight.

It was a crystal skeleton of a right forearm connected to a palm, the same size as a real human hand, but it looked crystal clear, like a finely crafted work of art.

Even now, looking at the treasure in his hand, Duan Tianpeng's body would still tremble with excitement, after all, he had obtained something that all Qi Practitioners dreamed of: Immortal Remains.

Although it was also his first time seeing a part of the Immortal Remains, judging from the information he had obtained and the reaction of the President of the West Chang District Chamber of Commerce after the theft, this was definitely the Immortal Remains.

It was worth labeling himself as the Lingerie Bandit for so many years.

Stealing gold and silver jewelry was indeed for money, while stealing women's underwear was to mislead people. The police would not put a high price on a Lingerie Bandit, and wealthy families would not care about this little bit of money.

If he hadn't been discovered searching for the Immortal Remains before, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of killing the guards and cleaners to silence them.

The label was indeed very successful. Even though he had sneaked into the President of the West Chang District Chamber of Commerce's room and stolen the Immortal Remains, the guards and police still determined that it was the work of more powerful bandits or those who had committed major crimes.

He even took the opportunity to spread rumors that the guy who stole the Immortal Remains was fencing the goods in the North New District.

No one, absolutely no one, would target him, this low-profile Lingerie Bandit, during this special period.

However, because the virus in West Chang District had not been completely eradicated, it was not safe to travel with such valuable items. Duan Tianpeng decided to rest here for two days, and when his body recovered, he would take this part of the Immortal Remains and fly far away.

Even so, the naturally cautious Duan Tianpeng carefully scouted the surrounding area before checking in, confirming that there were no police informants or sentries before settling down.

After studying it for a few days, although he couldn't understand the mysteries of this Immortal Remains, Duan Tianpeng was certain that this thing would definitely help with cultivation. Even if he really couldn't figure it out, selling it would guarantee him a life of luxury for the rest of his life.

Tap, tap, tap, tap—

Just as he was thinking, footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor. Duan Tianpeng vigilantly put away his things, stepped silently on the ground, and quickly came to the door to examine the situation outside.

He saw a disheveled couple walking mysteriously towards the room next door, looking somewhat familiar.

Hiss, aren't those the Master and disciple from the grocery store downstairs? What are they doing here? "Master, hurry up, your disciple can't take it anymore."

"Hehe, don't worry, watch Master make you feel good today."

Bang—

As the two hugged and entered the room, the door next door slammed shut.

Duan Tianpeng snorted coldly, "Tch, immoral!"
