Chapter 189 Rich Leisure Life
It turns out that we can't be too confident.
"So, when you were trying to capture Mu Lianhuai, something unexpected happened. Instead of catching him, he tripped over his left foot and fell to his death?"
You can't blame Qin Qinsen for making such a fuss. Anyone would be shocked to hear that something that was almost certain to happen turned out this way.
And he died by falling. Is such a unique way of dying popular among the upper class circles now?
"Is that really okay?"
Guessing what Qin Qinsen was thinking, Jiang Wei took him to the morgue. "Master Zhang has already checked and confirmed that there are no other traces of magic. But I'm worried, so please come and take a look."
They primarily practiced physical cultivation, most of them not coming from any sect or school. Jiang Wei, while he had a master and had learned a great deal, primarily focused on physical techniques, using other esoteric knowledge as a supplement and not a mastery. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to undo the Scorpion's charm and leave a mark.
Master Zhang is one of the three consultants in Hai City and the oldest. He basically does not interfere in the affairs of the department and only takes action when Jiang Wei and others ask for help.
Qin Qinsen paused after hearing Jiang Wei's words, raising an eyebrow. "Since someone else has seen it, it's not appropriate for you to come to me again, right?"
"...You should take a look."
Pushing the door open, a resounding male voice boomed from inside, "We'll definitely make it in time. You guys practice first. I'll be there in an hour. Oh, I know. We'll definitely be able to make it at the Green Park Lakeside Pavilion. Let Xiao Niu wait. We'll definitely not delay her singing."
Master Zhang, wearing a trendy vest and a baseball cap, hung up the phone, picked up his erhu, and said to Jiang Wei anxiously, "Oh, you finally brought him here. Why are you so slow at such a young age? Are you Qin Qinsen? Hurry up, give him—"
Master Zhang nodded at the corpse lying beside him and took small steps. "Look, I'm just a talisman painter. I'm not that good at magic. If Old She hadn't been so foolish, I wouldn't have troubled this young man."
"Okay, okay, I know you respect the elderly and love the young. Stop bowing and come over to take a look. I'm in a hurry to play the erhu. Lao Wang and the others are all here, only I'm missing."
Qin Qinsen found it funny. He didn't expect the consultant to have such a rich spare time life.
At Master Zhang's urging, Qin Qinsen covered the corpse with one hand.
Looking closely, there was a layer of flowing gas in the palm of his hand, separating him from the cold and stiff skin.
As his palm moved, dark grey inscriptions appeared and disappeared on the corpse. Master Zhang and Jiang Wei felt their bodies grow even colder. After a few minutes, Qin Qinsen withdrew his hand, and the temperature returned to normal.
"No problem, but you'd better investigate the source of the Yingsheng Gu and who made the medicine he has. But I suspect... it must be his own bad idea."
Qin Qinsen spread out his hand, and in his palm was a black bug, not much longer than his thumb, twisting and struggling in his palm, obviously trying to escape.
"Hmph, you're using evil ways, you deserve this bad luck." Master Zhang had already understood what had happened before he came, so naturally he had nothing good to say about Mu Lianhuai.
"He killed someone for no reason out of selfishness. His fate has run out, and death is natural." Qin Qinsen immobilized the little black bug and handed it to Jiang Wei. "Being thrown to death is retribution. Although the death is undignified, it is what he deserves. The underworld has other punishments waiting for him. If you are worried, just call a ghost messenger to ask."
"Why bother?"
Master Zhang clapped his hands, and a yellow talisman appeared out of thin air, flying towards Mu Lianhuai. Within two breaths, the talisman paper turned pure black, and the cinnabar writing on it transformed into golden lines—a negative inscription.
"Master Zhang has great skills." Qin Qinsen couldn't help but sigh. He finally saw someone with real skills.
The talisman is used to connect yin and yang, and on the paper that turns into the Yin Talisman there is a simple line of words written on it - the law of nature is clear, and retribution will come.
"Evildoers will be punished by Heaven." After saying this, Master Zhang rushed out at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his age. "If you need anything, call me. I'm in a hurry, old man, so I'm leaving now."
Qin Qinsen was stunned by the old man's agile back. "What an energetic old man. He must exercise regularly..."
"Master Zhang has a rich life in his spare time. He plays the erhu during the day and square dances at night. He even occasionally represents his community in competitions with neighboring communities." Jiang Wei then changed the subject and brought the conversation to Qin Qinsen. "As long as you work hard in our department, you can be as carefree as Master Zhang after retirement."
"Stop, what do you mean by working well in your department? I'm a consultant, so why am I being treated differently?"
Qin Qinsen had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"The leaders see that you are young but have profound skills. Naturally, they hope that you can practice more and participate more deeply in the cases of our Paranormal Control Bureau, and contribute to the country and the people."
Qin Qinsen took the document handed to him by Jiang Wei reflexively, glanced at the title, threw it back, glanced at Jiang Wei, and walked straight out.
"Isn't it an official organization with no name? How did it become the Abnormal Control Bureau? No matter what bureau it is, I won't join it."
Having agreed to be a consultant was a matter of mutual assistance, but suddenly asking him to sign an agreement and officially take on the position was another matter entirely.
"Behind Yuxia Mountain, the higher-ups have decided to establish the Abnormal Phenomenon Management Bureau to centrally manage related incidents. Master Qin is a rare and top-tier talent, whether in Hai City or elsewhere. Therefore, the higher-ups have decided to officially hire you as a member of the Abnormal Phenomenon Management Bureau, with preferential treatment."
Leaving the morgue and returning to the sunlight, Qin Qinsen stretched and said, "Reject."
Jiang Wei was obviously prepared and handed over another document.
"The new consulting agreement means you're considered a non-staff member. As before, we'll ask for your help when needed, and we can go out on field missions together in emergencies."
"Captain Jiang, you're quite the veteran." Qin Qinsen glanced at the agreement. It was not much different from the previous one. The most obvious thing was that Party A finally had a name.
Jiang Wei shrugged. "You are originally from Duyin. Even if the higher-ups don't understand, how can we not understand what this means? Whether you join or not, you will not stand idly by. Moreover, even if you agree, President Teng will not agree."
How could they let Qin Qinsen go when the other party seemed to want to tie him to their belt?
Pointing to the black Bentley that had been parked quietly nearby for a long time, Jiang Wei said with a smile, "Say hello to President Teng for me."
"What did he tell you?"
Taking the agreement from Qin Qinsen, Teng Su raised his eyebrows and asked, "Abnormal Management Bureau?"
"No different from before." Qin Qinsen was curious, "Aren't you in a meeting?"
"It's cancelled. We just received a notice that the project is ours. We're preparing for the signing ceremony right away. If nothing goes wrong, we can sign it before the end of the year."
"It seems that Mu Lianhuai... died well."
No matter from which perspective, it is naturally good that evil will be punished.
