Chapter 19 Sunset
"Haha, Brother Xu, are you a shoemaker?" Cai Fei continued to inquire.
"I guess so." I just heard him say.
"What... does this mean?" Cai Fei was confused. If it is yes, it is yes. If it is no, it is no. What does it mean to be yes?
"It's a part-time job." Xu said.
"Part-time job?" Cai Fei was surprised. "Then what is your main job?"
"Master." Xu Lai wondered, "I told your Lao Huang about this before, right?"
Old Huang...
Cai Fei only felt like two crows were flying past him. They were the young master of the Huang family and the head of the ninth department, but in other people's mouths, they became Old Huang...
"But you are so good at corpse arts, how come your main job is a mage..." Cai Fei didn't understand.
"Because I'm better at magic." Xu said.
Cai Fei was completely speechless.
He really didn't believe this.
When it comes to corpse skills, he does admit that he is not as skilled as others, but when it comes to magic, let alone his young master, even Cai Fei is confident that he is much stronger than this guy.
As they were talking, the car had already entered the police station. A group of people got out of the car and without stopping, they immediately sent Zhao Wenjun to the morgue.
Not long after, two police officers came with a group of people. Xu Lai took a look and recognized that one of the women with eyes swollen like peaches was Zhao Xiaomin's mother. The others were probably relatives and friends of the Zhao family.
Xu Lai and the people from Section 9 were just outside the morgue and did not go in.
Soon, heart-wrenching cries were heard in the room.
"Damn it!" Cai Fei's eyes turned red and he cursed in a low voice. The others were also silent.
"Let's go." Xu Lai said.
Zhao Wenjun had already been sent there, and there was nothing else for Section 9 to do here. Cai Fei gave some orders and led his men out of the police station.
"Brother Xu, let me take you back first." Cai Fei said, and told the driver to go in the direction of Zijinyuan.
After dropping Xu Lai off at the gate of Zijinyuan Community, the car turned around and headed west of the city. Back at Section 9, Cai Fei jumped out of the car and ran straight to the second floor, where he saw Huang Shaotang standing at the window in a suit jacket.
This is a habit that their young master has developed over the years. No matter whether it is summer or winter, no matter whether the weather is cold or hot, he always wears a shirt and a coat on the outside, without exception.
"Young Master, the person has arrived." Cai Fei stepped forward and said .
Huang Shaotang said "hmm", and after a while, he looked back at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Cai Fei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the young master was asking about .
"You have seen Zhao Wenjun's relatives, what do you think?" Huang Shaotang said.
Cai Fei couldn't help but clench his fists: "I want to tear that bastard into pieces!"
Huang Shaotang nodded and said, "That's a good idea."
After a while, I heard him say, "Go and call everyone over."
"Yes!" Cai Fei took the order and left.
Soon, all the members of Section 9, except those who were on field missions, were present.
Huang Shaotang glanced at everyone and said, "Why did we establish the ninth department?"
"Eliminate demons and punish evil, and protect the area!" everyone responded in unison.
"So have we done it?" Huang Shaotang asked in a deep voice.
Everyone was silent for a while. The Ninth Section had been established for more than half a year, and these people were recruited one by one by Huang Shaotang and Cai Fei during this half year. Naturally, they knew everything about the Ninth Section very well.
Since the establishment of the Ninth Department, apart from helping people deal with a few cases of possession by evil spirits, there has been basically no achievement.
"Four lives have been lost now! I can tell you very clearly, this is the Zong Xuan case and no one else can solve it!" Huang Shaotang said sternly.
"Let's break it!" Everyone in Section 9 shouted in unison.
"Three days, can you do it?" Huang Shaotang asked loudly.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
Huang Shaotang stared at everyone for a long time before nodding: "You guys go down first and be on standby at any time. Liao Lao and Cai Fei will stay."
Everyone retreated as ordered, leaving only Liao Huaixian and Cai Fei.
"Chief, I think this matter is very tricky." Liao Huaixian said with some concern.
Huang Shaotang naturally knew that this matter was extremely troublesome. The Yin Tattooing Technique was an extremely complex spell. Since this person could even do the Yin Tattooing Technique, it meant that he had a high level of skill in magic and was definitely not an ordinary person.
If it was a head-on confrontation, it would be fine. Huang Shaotang is really not afraid of anyone.
But just think about it and you will know that this is absolutely impossible. That guy hides in the darkness and comes out from time to time to hunt a prey. Jiangning City is so big, with densely packed high-rise buildings, like a steel jungle.
Trying to find a vicious jackal in this vast forest is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
There are only so many people in the ninth section, even if we disperse them all, it would be a drop in the bucket.
"Why should we be afraid of him? I don't believe we can't catch him!" Cai Fei said angrily. He had just met Zhao Wenjun's family and was still very excited.
"We can't act on impulse." Liao Huaixian said: "The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, brute force alone is useless!"
"Then what else can we do? Are we just going to watch? Four girls have already been killed by Uncle Liao!" Cai Fei said angrily.
"What are you arguing about!" Huang Shaotang frowned and shouted.
Cai Fei then shut up in dismay.
"Chief, there are still several senior masters in Jiangning City . Why don't we ask them for help?" Liao Huaixian came up with an idea.
Huang Shaotang sneered, "You count on them? We in the Ninth Division don't have the money to give to these old men!"
Liao Huaixian hesitated: "Not really. Our Ninth Section was decided by several major sects. If we ask them for help, will they refuse?"
Cai Fei said angrily, "Uncle Liao, forget it. When the young master and I were running around for the establishment of the Ninth Section, we went to find them, but they were all evasive or refused to help. Do you still want them to help you? Do you have a luxury car or a mansion for them?"
"No way, they are all people from the magic sect, what are they doing..." Liao Huaixian still didn't believe it.
"We can only rely on ourselves." Huang Shaotang waved his hand, interrupting the two of them.
"Young Master, what do you think we should do?" Cai Fei asked.
Huang Shaotang walked to the window, looked out for a while, then turned back and said, "Send everyone out, assign a group of people to keep an eye on those eight points, and the others to deploy in a cross-direction."
"Young Master, are you talking about the eight points that Xu...Xu Lai said?" Cai Fei was surprised. He thought, hasn't the young master always been skeptical about Xu Lai, so why did he still believe what he said.
"Whether it's true or not, just keep an eye on him first." Huang Shaotang ordered: "This matter will be handled by Elder Liao. Cai Fei, take a few people with you to keep an eye on Xu Lai."
"Yes!" Liao Huaixian and Cai Fei accepted the order.
"Go down." Huang Shaotang waved his hand and turned to look out the window.
At this time, the sunset glow in the sky was like fire, and it was already evening.
Xu Lai returned to Zijinyuan and took the elevator to the 21st floor. Instead of returning to his room immediately, he went to Room 01 and knocked on the door.
After a while, Chen Duo came over and opened the door. Her eyes were red and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Landlord, you're crying?" Xu said.
"You're back, how are you?" Chen Duo said sullenly, surprisingly without retorting him.
"It's nothing. How's the little girl?" Xu Lai asked as he and Chen Duo walked into the room.
"Her cousin came and just took her away." Chen Duo said, pulling out another tissue.
Xu Lai looked into the trash can and saw a full bucket of tissues. He clicked his tongue a few times and said, "Landlord, how long have you been crying?"
"Minmin is so pitiful." Chen Duo said, tears falling uncontrollably again.
Xu Lai handed over a tissue and said, "Life and death are common things, don't take it too seriously."
Chen Duo glared at him: "Do you have any compassion? People are in such a miserable situation, and you are still making sarcastic remarks!"
Xu Lai laughed and said, "You are crying like this, are you thinking about yourself?"
"Get out! I'll kick you to death if you keep talking nonsense!" Chen Duo was angry.
"Haha, you helped me a lot today, so I'll treat you to a meal." Xu said.
"No appetite!" Chen Duo said unhappily.
"Are you sure? If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store." Xu said.
"Go, go, go, I'll eat you out of money!" Chen Duo said angrily, packed up, closed the door and left.
The two of them went to the restaurant they had been to last night. Although Chen Duo said that she wanted to eat him out of money, she still showed mercy when it came to ordering and only ordered a few cheap dishes.
"This saves me money." Xu Lai said while looking at the menu.
Chen Duo ignored him and said in a low voice: "Hey, you are a mage after all, can't you think of a solution?"
"What do you want to do?" Xu said.
"Catch that damn perverted devil!" Chen Duo said gritting her teeth. In the past, she was just called a dead pervert, but from today on, she was upgraded to a dead perverted devil.
"Didn't you say that this person can tattoo and set up array formations? He must be a first-rate wizard among you. Ordinary people will definitely not be able to deal with him!" Chen Duo said worriedly.
"Oh, someone is handling this matter, the ninth department ." Xu said.
"Subject Nine, what is that?" Chen Duo was puzzled. She had never heard of it before.
"It's a special department established by the martial arts sect and the public, and it's specifically designed to handle this kind of mysterious cases." Xu said.
"Spell?" Chen Duo seemed to understand these terms.
"Shu Men is a general term for various schools and families of magic."
After hearing his explanation, Chen Duo immediately understood: "So schools like Tianshi Mansion and Maoshan Sect are all magic schools, right?"
"Yes, the Tianshi Mansion and the Maoshan Sect are the top sects in the art world, and the ninth category was decided by them," Xu Lai explained.
" So that's how it is!" Chen Duo slapped the table excitedly and said, "Can the Ninth Department catch that perverted devil?"
Then Xu said, "I'm afraid not."
Chen Duo was originally very excited, but he poured cold water on her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you say that the ninth department was established by the Shumen? There must be many great masters in it. How could they not be able to deal with a dead pervert?"
"When it comes to direct combat with spells, Section Nine certainly won't be afraid." Xu said.
"That's it!" said Chen Duo.
"Do you think everyone else is the same as you? If someone hides and kills people secretly, who can find him in such a big city like Jiangning?" Xu said.
What do you mean by the same as me! Chen Duo was furious when she heard this, and she really wanted to kick him right now. However, although this was infuriating, it was indeed true.
Indeed, Jiangning City is so big, with tall buildings everywhere and countless rooms. Who knows when and where that pervert will come out to harm people?
