It's almost December and the weather is already very cold, but there is already warm floor heat in the house.
Originally Yue Wen thought that since we are all practitioners anyway, we would save money by not paying heating bills this year. But then I thought, it doesn't matter if I freeze myself, but it would not be good if I freeze the customers.
Qi Dian is still wearing the same white training uniform, with bangs hanging sideways, and a cold face that is a classic example of a righteous disciple.
The three of them sat together, eating the takeout Qi Dian had just ordered.
Originally, Yue Wen really wanted to invite Qi Dian back this time, but Qi Dian insisted that he came to the firm this time to ask for their help, and he must invite him.
Yue Wen and Zhao Xing'er had no choice but to reluctantly give him this precious opportunity to order takeout.
Then I ate this meal with great sadness.
"That's it." Qi Dian said while eating, "When I was inspecting Demon Race two days ago, I saw an aunt who looked very pitiful at the door of City Seven Vocational College. Her son disappeared, which was probably related to the evil incident. Later I asked about it, and it seemed that it was not something I could solve alone. I first went back to the sect to find someone for help, but after hearing this, the master did not allow me to intervene in this matter, and even my senior brothers did not dare to come to help."
"What is it?" Zhao Xing'er asked directly, "Is it scary?"
"It's not that the matter itself is scary, but that it involves a relatively large force City Seven." Qi Dian said, "Sanwen Association."
"Sanwen Association?!" Yue Wen and Zhao Xing'er exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
After a pause, Zhao Xing'er turned to look at Yue Wen: "Are you a fish farmer?"
"You've never heard of it, why are you trying to coax her?" Yue Wen rolled his eyes at her.
"Let's liven up the atmosphere." Zhao Xing'er shrugged.
Qi Dian moved his lips, as if he wanted to complain, but after all, he was not familiar with Zhao Xing'er, and the other party was a girl, so he finally held back.
Yue Wen explained, "Sanwen Association is City Seven's largest underworld gang. It belongs to the kind that has come to the forefront and has many legitimate industries. Compared with them, Tiger Head Gang's gangsters who still need to do things underground are just little bastards."
"That's right, it's them." Qi Dian said, "I don't know the specifics yet, but it may be related to this. If you have concerns, I won't force you to help----"
"Brother Qi, what you said is out of context." Yue Wen said with a smile, "In our relationship, you need help, am I going to sit back and ignore you?"
In addition to his friendship with Qi Dian, he is also in urgent need of Demon Suppressing Coin, so it is naturally impossible to extrapolate the evil spirits who came to his door.
Zhao Xing'er also crossed his arms and said, "I want to see how powerful these fish sellers are."
Qi Dian showed a smile and said, "I knew you wouldn't let me down, so come and have a look with me after eating."
After lunch, the three of them walked out of the door. Qi Dian wanted to wave to stop the car. Yue Wen pressed his arm and pointed to his little eDonkey, "Just take my car."
"Ah?" Qi Dian said in surprise, "Can three people sit down?"
"Bringing another Big White is enough." Yue Wen said.
A few minutes later, a fast white small electric car crossed the busiest street of City Seven and drove towards a school-like building in front of it.
Zhao Xing'er is still sitting sideways behind Yue Wen, lightly holding his waist with one hand, and a few strands of hair fluttering from under the helmet. Yue Wen's waist is straight, and the whole person is like a sharp sword. Especially after the fire Refining Gang, his eyes and temperament have become sharper, and two bright stars can be seen from a distance.
Two young men and women who are both top models, with their hair flying in the warm sun, are as beautiful as the scenes in youth dramas.
But what was a bit inconsistent was that in front of Yue Wen, there was a young man squatting with his hands on his knees.
Although he buried his head firmly in his knees, due to his size, his entire upper body still felt like he was being held in Yue Wen's arms.
At a glance, it looks like young parents taking their sons out - whoever is in front is the son.
Because this combination is both eye-catching and weird, eye-catching and slightly humorous, it attracted many people's sideways glances along the way.
Feeling the burning gaze on him, Qi Dian whispered, "I should have taken a taxi."
"Can you take a taxi as fast as my White Dragon Colt?" Yue Wen said with a smile.
"It's fast, but----" Qi Dian still whispered, "Isn't this posture too shameful?"
Yue Wen comforted, "It's okay, Brother Qi, you'll get used to it."
Qi Dian raised his voice slightly, "Why should I get used to this?"
Zhao Xing'er patted his head from behind, "Don't worry, just be patient and it will pass."
"Don't touch my head like that!" Qi Dian said louder, "It makes outsiders look more like a family of three."
"A family of three?" Yue Wen and Zhao Xing'er laughed at the same time, and the eDonkey was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Yue Wen shook his head and said, "Brother Qi, you are overthinking. Who would think that we two look like a couple? In other words, a kind-hearted father and son attracted an unfamiliar neighbor aunt."
Zhao Xing'er waved his hand and said, "At most, it's just a beautiful single mother taking her son to ride a motorcycle."
Qi Dian collapsed a little, "No matter which of your versions, there is no denying that I am like a son!"
Fortunately, White Dragon Colt is really fast and we arrived at our destination in less than ten minutes.
"City Seven Vocational and Technical College." Yue Wen parked the car.
This is one of Jiang City's relatively outstanding junior colleges. The school is famous for its studies on the treatment of human epidermal dirt and the evolution of high-temperature odors from animals and plants. The employment situation is quite good.
Qi Dian jumped down impatiently, pointing to the street corner not far ahead, "That's the auntie."
In the cool breeze, there was a woman wearing a thin cotton coat. She looked to be in her fifties or sixties, with gray hair and a skinny and weathered appearance. She was holding a white board with a few lines of red letters written on it and a photo attached to it.
"Looking for my son Lin Qiusheng, a junior in the animation department. He disappeared from school on the evening of November 26th. Please provide information from those who saw him, and I would be grateful."
Next to it is the ID photo of a boy with a handsome appearance.
She was walking back and forth across from the school. When she saw the teachers and students coming out, she would go up to them so that they could see the words on the board clearly. But the people passing by avoided her and didn't know what had happened before.
"I met this aunt when I was patrolling that day. Seeing that no one paid attention to her in such a cold weather, I went up and asked about it, and then I found out about it." Qi Dian said.
Yue Wen said, "If there was really an evil incident that caused people to disappear, Supervision Bureau would have intervened a long time ago, right?"
"I asked, and Supervision Bureau was indeed involved, but the situation was a bit complicated." Qi Dian replied, "Her son is probably a gang member and a cultivator. Another classmate from the vocational college was killed that day. Supervision Bureau suspected it was murder and escape. Just in time, the whole city was searching for Demon Race in those days, so Supervision Bureau put the case on hold."
"Auntie firmly believes that her son is not an evil cultivator, but she has no money and cannot afford to hire a cultivator to investigate."
"After I learned about it, I also felt that the matter was not that simple. The reason why it was said to be related to the evil incident mainly came from the testimony of a female classmate. I contacted her today and met at the coffee shop opposite the school."
With that said, Qi Dian took them into the coffee shop.
Out of concern for his aunt's mood, he did not disturb her again this time. He just repeated what he asked last time to Yue Wen and the others.
There are compartments in the store separated by board walls. In the corner one sits a girl wearing a woolen hat. She lowers her head, wears a mask, and looks up from time to time to look around, looking very careful.
Qi Dian walked straight towards her, sat across from her and said, "Hello, classmate Fang. These two are Yue Wen, the manager of Yue's Cultivation Firm, and his assistant Zhao Xing'er. They are all my friends and are willing to help."
"Yue Wen----Ruthless Brother, right?" The girl paused, then suddenly smiled.
Ordinary people have no idea how powerful practitioners of the same realm are. Those who can see them in live broadcasts often subconsciously think that they are very powerful.
What's more, Yue Wen was killing everyone in the live broadcast.
"Uh." Yue Wen felt embarrassed and said with a smile, "Just call me Xiaoyue."
"With you here, there may be hope for this case." The girl became happy, but soon realized that her voice was too loud. She quietly shrank her neck and whispered, "We should be more careful when we talk, there may be their spies near the school."
"Who?" Yue Wen asked.
"Let me tell you in detail." The girl said slowly, "My name is Fang Hui, and I am the classmate of Lin Qiusheng.
We are all learning about roasting - ah, specializing in the evolution of smells of animals and plants at high temperatures. Lin Qiusheng is the student with the best grades in our class, and many old professors cannot compare to him in his mastery of heat."
"Later I found out that he actually had good grades in high school. He chose to come to our college in order to get a job and make money early."
"There are a few boys in the class who have never had a good relationship with him. They often bully him. I have seen him several times. The leader is named Wang Huan. His father is a barbecue city owner. He often says that we will all have to work at his house in the future. He also harasses female classmates in the class. I don't like this person very much."
Fang Hui briefly explained the background of the characters, and then got serious.
"Last month, Wang Huan bullied Lin Qiusheng outside the school. At this time, several people came and beat Wang Huan and the followers severely. Afterwards, Wang Huan didn't dare to say anything. I heard others say it was because the people who beat him were all Sanwen Association's, and his father didn't dare to offend him."
"Since then, it has been spread in the class that Lin Qiusheng joined Sanwen Association and goes to the bar every night to show off the show."
"Then, one night last week——"
Speaking of this, a look of horror appeared on her face.
"After the evening self-study get out of class, when we girls were returning to the dormitory, we saw a big black shadow moving on the wall between the two dormitory buildings! What kind of animal it looked like--we braved it and went over to see, and there was someone recording a video on his cell phone--and then we saw--"
"In the open space between the two buildings, a monster with long red hair and a big tail was lying on a person. When he heard us approaching, the monster looked back at us and it was clearly the face of Lin Qiusheng!"
"We were so scared that three of the four of us ran away. Only I fell down and didn't run away. I thought I was dead - but he just glanced at me, turned around and ran away. Later we called someone and found a corpse lying on the ground. He died miserably and his head was chopped off! It's Wang Huan's!"
"Because the two of them had always had a grudge, after the Supervision Bureau's people came to investigate, they initially determined that Lin Qiusheng became an evil cultivator after joining a gang, came back to seek revenge on Wang Huan, and then escaped. The next day, the city was closed down to search for Demon Race, but they had not made a conclusion yet, and they did not come back to investigate carefully."
"But just in the past two days, the girls in our dormitory have been warned. The person who took the video was also coerced to delete the video----Those people did not say it clearly, but they should be Sanwen Association----"
Fang Hui pressed his hat again, looking very scared.
"This logic sounds a bit reasonable." Zhao Xing'er thought, "He was bullied before, but now he joined the underworld and became an evil cultivator. He came back and killed the people who bullied him - and the people in the gang came to help him destroy the evidence."
Qi Dian said, "But Aunt Lin insists that her son cannot become an evil cultivator and cannot kill people. So she feels that there is an evil spirit pretending to be her son, and the real Lin Qiusheng should be captured."
"This is also possible." Yue Wen nodded.
"I also feel that there is something hidden, so others are avoiding it, so I still want to tell you about it." Fang Hui said with a slight hesitation, "Because that night, he looked at me with a helpless look, and he also said something to me. I didn't quite hear it, but after thinking about it carefully, what he said to me should be----"
"Help me."
"Help me?"
