After learning that Yang Zihan had a pure water spiritual root, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that he couldn't let Yang Zihan show her face too much. If she were discovered by those cultivators, it would be troublesome. Although Liu Xiaoyuan had the help of the God-level Invincible System, he hadn't reached that level yet and couldn't do anything to those cultivators.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to keep Yang Zihan out of the public eye and have her work at the hotel, which will greatly reduce the chances of her being discovered.
"By the way, system, is it possible for a master at the third level of the Innate Realm to detect that the other party has a pure water spiritual root?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
The system said, "Absolutely not. How could a novice at the third level of the Innate Realm possibly discover someone with a pure water spiritual root? Hmph, let alone a novice at the third level of the Innate Realm, even a cultivator of ordinary cultivation level would not be able to discover someone with a pure water spiritual root."
"Under what circumstances would a master at the third level of the Innate Realm discover that this person possesses a pure water spiritual root?" the system asked.
The system said, "Unless he has something that can detect spiritual roots, only then will he know."
Upon hearing the system's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately suspected that Master Tan might possess something that could detect spiritual roots, otherwise he wouldn't have known that Yang Zihan had a pure water spiritual root.
Realizing this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately ran to the police station and found Lu Siyao.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's anxious look, Lu Siyao couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyuan, is something wrong?"
Liu Xiaoyuan asked anxiously, "Where is Xiao Dajun? I have something to ask him."
Lu Siyao immediately led Liu Xiaoyuan to the room where Xiao Dajun was being held. Xiao Dajun looked dejected and sat on the bed with his head down. When he saw the door open, he immediately looked up at the doorway.
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao, Xiao Dajun immediately lowered his head in fright.
"Xiao Dajun, let me ask you, did you see anything unusual on Master Tan?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dajun thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Usually, when Master Tan stays at my house, he takes the initiative to talk to me. If there's nothing important, he tells me not to bother him."
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan asked Xiao Dajun a few more questions, but Xiao Dajun knew absolutely nothing about them.
After leaving the room where Xiao Dajun was being held, Lu Siyao quickly asked, "Xiao Yuan, are you looking for something?"
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't hide anything and said, "Siyao, to tell you the truth, Master Tan has something very important on him that I need to get my hands on. If this thing falls into someone else's hands, Yang Zihan might be in danger again."
Upon hearing this, Lu Siyao immediately asked, "Xiaoyuan, what exactly is this thing? Why is this related to Zihan's danger?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Siyao, this matter can't be explained in a short time. How about this, I'll tell you slowly when I have time later. Right now, the most important thing is to find this thing. By the way, the forensic doctor took all of Master Tan's belongings, right?"
Lu Siyao nodded and said, "Yes, they've all been put into the evidence database."
"Can you take me to see it?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
Lu Siyao shook her head and said, "This matter requires the director's written permission. Without the director's permission, someone of my rank cannot get in, and no one else would show it to me."
It seems we'll have to trouble Fang Jianyang with this matter.
So Liu Xiaoyuan immediately called Fang Jianyang. After the call was connected, Liu Xiaoyuan gave Fang Jianyang a brief account of the situation and said that Master Tan was connected to the person who had previously assassinated Lin Xin.
Upon hearing this, Fang Jianyang immediately told Liu Xiaoyuan that he would call the head of the county public security bureau and ask them to give Liu Xiaoyuan absolute authority to investigate the matter.
After what happened last time, Fang Jianyang knew that some things couldn't be solved by ordinary police officers.
"Secretary Fang, we must hurry," Liu Xiaoyuan urged.
“Xiao Yuan, since you’re in such a hurry to investigate, why don’t you give the phone to the police station chief and let him answer it personally? I’ll talk to him about it,” Fang Jianyang said.
Liu Xiaoyuan found Director Lu Siyao and handed him his phone. After taking the call, Director Lu Siyao said a few "yes"s before turning to Liu Xiaoyuan and saying, "Mr. Liu, I'll take you there now. Please follow me."
The person who could get the county's top official to personally call and give instructions was definitely not an ordinary person. Therefore, Lu Siyao's director, Liu Xiaoyuan, became exceptionally respectful, as if he were facing a superior.
Upon arriving at the evidence storage, they immediately had someone retrieve the items found on Master Tan. When Liu Xiaoyuan saw the large bag of items, he didn't know which ones could detect spiritual roots, so he had to ask the God-level Invincible System to help identify them.
The system seemed somewhat angry at Liu Xiaoyuan's summons, saying, "Young man, you've disturbed my rest again, which makes me very angry."
Liu Xiaoyuan quickly smiled and said, "Sorry, handsome system, you're the most handsome. Don't be angry, you won't be handsome if you're angry."
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan felt goosebumps all over his body. Damn, this was like coaxing a girl.
After hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's flattery, the system felt a little better and said, "You're good at talking, kid. So, what do you need my help with this time?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Handsome system, could you please check if there's anything in this bag that can detect spiritual roots?"
As he spoke, Liu Xiaoyuan held the bag up to his eyes so that the system could see it more clearly.
The system quickly provided its answer, stating, "It's not inside."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan's disappointment was written all over his face. Could it be that Master Tan did not find out that Yang Zihan was a person with a pure water spiritual root by using something to detect spiritual roots?
That's impossible! The God-level Invincible System already said that someone at the third level of the Innate Realm has no way of knowing whether someone has a spiritual root, let alone discovering a pure water spiritual root.
However, a search of his body revealed nothing. So what exactly happened?
If the forensic doctor hadn't searched thoroughly, this wouldn't be possible, because an autopsy would require removing all the clothes from the body, and Master Tan would definitely carry something as important as detecting spiritual roots with him.
Damn! What went wrong?
Liu Xiaoyuan was completely baffled. Finally, out of desperation, he found the staff member who was collecting evidence and asked, "Have you found anything else on the deceased?"
The staff member said without hesitation, "Everything we got from the deceased is in this bag."
Hearing what the staff member said, Liu Xiaoyuan sighed. It seemed that he could only go to Xiao Dajun's house to look for it and see if Master Tan had left it there.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's disappointed expression, Lu Siyao comforted him, "Xiaoyuan, don't be like that. Maybe it's at Xiao Dajun's house. Let's go to Xiao Dajun's house and look for it now, okay?"
