Chapter 925: Too High a Request
Bai Yi: I feel a little depressed, and I don’t know who to talk to. Actually, you are the only friend I want to talk to now, but don’t get me wrong, I swear I have no other thoughts.
Tu Ran: I know.
Bai Yi: So... is it convenient for you to come out? I'll book a barbecue restaurant and we can have a drink.
Tu Ran: OK, no problem.
Tu Ran doesn't have the habit of eating midnight snacks, especially so late.
It's also a 40-minute drive from the city.
However, she wanted to ask Bai Yi about the details of the Guo family.
Because her first feeling was that there seemed to be evil forces involved in the matter between Old Man Guo and Guo Meixin.
Soon, Tu Ran drove to the appointment.
Of course he wouldn’t bring Wei Ming and the others with him. He can trust Bai Yi’s character.
In the corner of an inconspicuous Hanshi BBQ restaurant in the city.
Bai Yi has been waiting for a long time.
When Tu Ran arrived, he took off his black cotton jacket.
"I'm really sorry to bother you so late."
"It's okay, I just happen to have something to ask you." Tu Ran said.
"You want to ask about the Guo family?"
"You know?" Tu Ran glanced at Bai Yi.
"This is the biggest news in Hong Kong right now. The police are also confused and are still investigating."
"Is Lin Chen still in detention?"
Bai Yi shook his head.
"Lin Siyao bailed him out today."
"However, the current evidence does not prove that Lin Chen was responsible. He was not at the crime scene and has not returned to the Guo family in recent days. The autopsy confirmed that the deceased died of hanging. The surveillance footage was also checked and no suspicious person entered the Guo family mansion."
"Then do you believe that Mr. Guo and Guo Meixin would commit suicide?"
"I don't believe it either." Bai Yi said.
"So I guess it has something to do with metaphysics."
"Yes, I think so too." Tu Ran nodded, and the two finally agreed.
At this time, the waiters served the dishes one after another.
"The pork belly and beef ribs here are good, you should try it." Bai Yi could tell at a glance that he was a regular customer.
Tu Ran didn't hesitate and picked up the chopsticks to start grilling.
There were two bottles of beer on the table, one for each of them.
That's how we eat and chat.
"Hey, I got suspended by my dad."
"Although it's temporary, I still don't know when my position will be restored. I had a big fight with him about this, and I was very upset during the New Year." Bai Yi complained.
"Is it because of what happened last time?"
"Yes, some of our brothers died, but you can't blame me. I tried my best... If we hadn't stopped him, and he'd gotten out, who knows how many people would have died. I think I'm quite noble, selfless, is that wrong? I've already minimized the casualties, so why doesn't my dad understand?"
Tu Ran looked at Bai Yi quietly.
"Maybe your father didn't suspend you because of your mistakes at work."
"It's because I love you, care about you, and am afraid that you might be in danger."
"I feel sorry for the love of parents in the world. I can actually understand him."
"You are the only child in your family, right?"
"From a father's perspective, how could he possibly let himself walk on the edge of a knife? If he's not careful, he'll end up losing his son."
Bai Yi disagreed, "But I'm a police officer. This profession is very risky. I've wanted to be a police officer since I was a child. This is deeply ingrained in me. If I live just to eat, drink and have fun without doing anything for society, then there's actually no value. I don't like a meaningless life."
After saying that, Bai Yi picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
It can be seen that he is indeed very depressed.
"Your father must have his reasons for doing that."
"Just leave it like this for now. Don't get too excited. Calm down and just treat it as a vacation." Tu Ran advised.
Bai Yi frowned, "Tu Ran, to be honest, I'm not in the mood for a vacation... Although I'm an ordinary person, I always feel that... the atmosphere in Xiangcheng is becoming increasingly wrong. I can't really put my finger on why it's wrong, but it seems like there's more and more dirty things. Just take this as my personal speculation."
"The Guo family case is very bizarre."
"I originally suspected Lu Xuan'er... but after a long and careful investigation, I found that Lu Xuan'er had no significant connection with the Guo family or even the Lin family. This seems a bit illogical."
"It's not Lu Xuan'er this time." Tu Ran said firmly.
"Why are you so sure?" Bai Yi was stunned.
"I've already gotten a glimpse into Lu Xuan'er's methods... She enjoys controlling souls... even capturing them, I'd say. But from what I understand, the spirits of the Guo family father and daughter are still wandering around in the same place, unable to enter the afterlife. They're truly pitiful."
"Ah? You can see it?" Bai Yi was greatly shocked.
Just say it so bluntly?
Tu Ran has the third eye?
Tu Ran felt a little embarrassed when he saw Bai Yi looking at him in shock.
"It's not some magical power, it's probably just a sixth sense."
“But it can’t be wrong.”
"So I believe that this incident with the Guo family has nothing to do with Lu Xuan'er."
"But no matter what, it is indeed a strange thing."
Bai Yi sighed slightly, "This is also the reason why I asked you to come here today, it's still that matter, the cleaning team."
"Huh? Weren't you suspended?"
"Yes, but it won't delay the progress of this matter... Even if I'm still working, I'll mostly rely on my work relationships to help you handle some things that are inconvenient for you to handle."
"A cleaning team still needs to be established."
"I'll pay for it, too."
“The funding is already in place.”
"Here are three million, keep it first." Bai Yi handed over a card.
Tu Ran immediately rejected it. "No, I can't take your money. Even if you really set up a cleaning team, I won't be responsible for the money."
"No, you have to."
"I'm suspended, not fired. Technically, I'm still a police officer, so I can't make frequent large transactions."
"But don't worry, this money comes from legal channels."
"My mother's family is in business, and my grandfather's family has a big business, so I have saved a lot of private money over the years, and this money is used as start-up capital."
"I originally thought of just using the brothers in our group, but now it seems that's not possible."
"We must find someone from the metaphysical circle, even a junior apprentice will do."
Tu Ran disagreed. "People in the metaphysical circle have one thing in common: they're aloof and aloof. You might not be able to hire them even if you pay them. We could consider asking them for help. But regarding the actual cleaning team members, my advice is slightly different from yours."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Bai Yi listened carefully.
"I think we should find someone with a strong horoscope and plenty of yang energy."
"It's best to have a good foundation in martial arts and be skilled."
"You also need to have a high IQ and not be a burden to your teammates."
"Of course, if the virginity is good."
"It doesn't matter if it's not, you can bring some magic weapons for self-defense."
"Retired soldiers can be considered, as can returning mercenaries and those with peacekeeping backgrounds."
"Your requirements are...higher than mine? The civil service exam isn't that strict, is it?" Bai Yi felt embarrassed.
"Tu Ran, don't be upset if I tell you the truth. I think with our requirements, I'm afraid we won't be able to recruit anyone." Bai Yi said worriedly.
