I'm a Professional at Finding People

"This is getting interesting!"

Lu Zheng took a taxi at the Municipal Bureau and went straight home.

"Framing me? You probably don't know how formidable I am!"

"Alright, there's not much I can do anyway, but you probably don't know how formidable the people's police are!"

He paid, got out of the car, went upstairs, and arrived home.

Back home, it was already noon. Lu Zheng changed his clothes and then traveled back to ancient times for lunch.

"Young Master, Second Miss Liu came to see you early this morning, saying she wanted you to accompany her shopping."

Lu Zheng smiled upon hearing this. Shopping? Probably just finished the candy in her pocket.

However, Lu Zheng couldn't go play with the Liu sisters right now, because that would prevent him from traveling back and forth at will.

"I won't be here this afternoon. Later, please send a bag of candy over for me and tell them I'll be busy for the next few days."

"Alright!"

Lu Zheng thought as he ate, "This isn't a long-term solution. The case is dragging on, and the police will keep looking for me, which will just tie me down."

But things weren't going his way. He couldn't exactly catch the murderer and hand them over to the police, could he?

He didn't even know who the murderer was!

"Huh?"

Lu Zheng put a piece of tofu in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

"Am I stupid?"

After quickly finishing lunch, Lu Zheng returned to his bedroom. First, he took out a bag of fruit hard candies from the drawer, and then he took out the several talismans he had drawn last night at the cost of exhausting his True Qi.

Using the Light of Luck to exchange for talisman-drawing proficiency had this advantage: Lu Zheng skipped the initial practice stage and increased his talisman success rate to one hundred percent.

Five Peace Talismans, one Qi Seeking Talisman, two Evil Expelling Talismans, and one Swift Travel Talisman.

After thinking about it, Lu Zheng took a Peace Talisman for himself and gave the other two, along with a bag of candy, to Uncle Li to pass on to the Liu sisters.

Then, he prepared cinnabar, spread out yellow paper, and drew two more Qi Seeking Talismans.

"Travel!"

"Buzz!"

Feeling the True Qi within the yellow paper talisman, though locked in, still present, Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile. "Success!"

Lu Zheng wanted to see if, besides himself being able to travel in person, things containing True Qi energy could travel as well.

The result was gratifying: it worked! "Well, cinnabar is fine, it's about the same on both sides. I wonder if there will be a difference with the yellow paper and talisman brush? Next time, I can bring some over from here to test the effect."

The immediate priority wasn't to verify his guess, but to catch the murderer.

"So, what should I do next?"

"The object with the most concentrated aura of the murderer is, of course, the murder weapon."

"Find Lin Wan, have her show me the murder weapon, and then I'll cast a spell on the spot, use the Qi Seeking Talisman to extract the aura, and then fold the talisman into a paper crane and let it lead the police to the murderer?"

Lu Zheng, "Heh!"

He should first test whether the murderer's aura still lingered in his house.

True Qi poured into the paper talisman, and Lu Zheng gently shook his right hand. The vermilion talisman on the paper began to shine.

Immediately afterward, Lu Zheng felt several auras gather around the paper talisman, slowly floating around it.

The largest clump was himself, and the other three smaller clumps should be the residual auras of the three policemen from the morning.

And another... trace?

Faint, almost imperceptible. If Lu Zheng had used the talisman half a day later, he probably wouldn't have been able to gather it.

"Hurry, condense! Guide!"

Lu Zheng held the talisman in his right hand and formed a hand seal with his left. First, he dispersed the other four strands of aura, and then with a condense and guide, he channeled the remaining wisp of aura into the Qi Seeking Talisman.

"Buzz!"

The Qi Seeking Talisman trembled slightly, as if establishing a connection with a certain place far away.

"Go!"

Now that he was in Hai City, Lu Zheng couldn't fold the Qi Seeking Talisman directly into a paper crane. Of course, he also didn't have enough True Qi stored in the talisman to make the paper talisman fly.

So, Lu Zheng simply folded the paper talisman into a small square, held it in his hand, and following the guidance of the paper talisman, immediately went out.

"Quick, quick, the aura collected inside the paper talisman is limited and will disappear soon."

Quickly leaving the residential area, Lu Zheng unlocked a shared bicycle at the entrance of the community, then leaped onto the bike and pedaled rapidly.

Meanwhile, at the City Bureau.

"Team Leader Li, through surveillance comparison, we have indeed found five targets that meet the criteria, but..."

"But what?"

"But they are all wearing delivery uniforms, helmets, and masks, without revealing any features."

"So, either Lu Zheng is lying, or the other party is an expert?"

"Yes!"

Li Jinglin stubbed out his cigarette, and fell into deep thought.

The aura and True Qi in the paper talisman were consumed at an extremely fast rate. Lu Zheng pedaled his bicycle all the way north, quickly passing more than a dozen blocks.

Then, he turned to the entrance of a hotel that looked quite high-end, grand, and classy.

"Buzz!"

The Qi Seeking Talisman in his hand trembled slightly, its effect completely lost.

Lu Zheng looked up, "Fortunately, it didn't fail halfway, at least I found the destination."

He got off the bike, locked it, and looked up at the hotel sign.

Qingyu Hotel.

The target was currently in this hotel. As long as Lu Zheng confirmed a place where this person had definitely been, and used the Qi Seeking Talisman again...

Then, Lu Zheng, who had already memorized this person's aura, could immediately filter out the target's aura from the complex and chaotic auras.

For example... the hotel front desk? Eh, how did things suddenly become so easy?

When the time comes, he would catch the murderer, send him to the police station, and say that he had accidentally encountered him and remembered seeing him in the residential area.

Anyway, he hadn't committed any crimes, so the process didn't matter, just like that! Lu Zheng swaggered into the hotel and went to the front desk, "I'd like to book a room."

"Okay sir, what type of room would you like, how many days will you be staying, and please show me your ID card."

Lu Zheng took out his ID card and handed it to the young lady at the front desk, "A standard room will do, for three days first."

In the blink of an eye, Lu Zheng had already thought of the reason for staying at the hotel this time.

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

A moment later.

"How would you like to pay, sir?"

"Mobile payment."

"Thank you, your payment has been successful, this is your room card, have a pleasant stay!"

Lu Zheng took the room card and turned to walk towards the elevator on the side of the lobby.

As he walked, he reached into his pocket and took out a Qi Seeking Talisman, folding it into a square and holding it in his hand.

With his other hand, he pinched an incantation, and instantly hundreds of auras rushed towards him.

"So many!"

The True Qi in the Qi Seeking Talisman was rapidly consumed, but Lu Zheng instantly recognized that aura.

"Condense! Guide!"

"Buzz!"

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!"

Lu Zheng entered the elevator and smiled as he pressed the button for the eighth floor.

And if someone were to look at the room card in his hand at this moment, they would see the numbers 1210 clearly written on it.
