However, based on the information he found...
Not only Xin Chi, but also the people who went to Chun Shi to deliver goods have disappeared without a trace.
They couldn't even contact any of the people in the city.
He was far away in Chunshi, so he couldn't really help those in Heshi.
Unable to contact anyone, they had no idea what had happened before or after Xin Chi's transaction.
What he could tell Shi Zhixin was naturally all the information he knew.
"Sir, I can assure you that our bookstore will take great care of the book you are looking for."
“I have already inquired with all the bookstores in the entire province that I am familiar with.”
Before Shi Zhixin could answer, the person on the other end of the phone, seemingly dissatisfied with his questioning, complained:
"I've even asked around in remote cities in order to find 'Poetry and Dwelling' for you."
“I even asked about the market, the neighboring market, the local market, and the well market.”
"But there's been no news from over there."
After hearing this, Shi Zhixin realized that the other party had indeed put in a lot of effort.
It's precisely because this is the result of such dedicated effort that it's even more alarming.
Since no news came from He City, their personnel must have been wiped out.
You should know that when they organize and develop grassroots personnel, they are not so particular.
There are people from all walks of life.
Of course, these people will not be involved in the organization's core affairs after they join.
They could only help out or do odd jobs on the periphery of the organization.
Aside from the local leaders in each county who know exactly who their subordinates are.
Others probably don't know, even if he has a list of people.
Meanwhile, no news came from He City.
It seems they have already been discovered and brought under control.
The only ones who could do this are the military and no one else.
Shi Zhixin was sweating profusely as he finished his analysis.
"you……"
Even his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't speak.
Shi Zhixin took a deep breath, gradually clearing his muddled mind.
After all, he is capable and intelligent, and capable of climbing to a high position.
In just a few breaths, he adjusted his state.
As his rationality gradually returned, he was no longer so panicked.
He realized that Xin Chi never used his own identity when he went out on business.
Instead, they used specially made human skin masks.
He himself had used this thing, so he naturally knew its amazing properties.
As long as a special medicine is applied to one's face, no one can tell the difference.
In this way, he should be able to remain hidden in the background without being discovered.
So now he can speak smoothly:
"Oh, I see. Thank you for your hard work."
"Since you haven't received any news from your side, I'll go and borrow it myself!"
Upon hearing his words, the person on the other end of the phone immediately said:
"I'm so sorry I couldn't help you, sir."
"It's alright, it's just a book."
At this point, both people on the other end of the phone hung up.
Anyway, the bookstore staff had already passed on the information they had found to Shi Zhixin.
Shi Zhixin also clearly received the information.
Although the results of the investigation were not satisfactory, the purpose of this call has been achieved.
Both sides hung up the phone simultaneously and without hesitation.
Meanwhile, in a bookstore not far from the Shi family's residence.
Ji Xiuming, who had just finished making a phone call to deliver a message, was staring at the phone in a daze.
"Master, what's next?"
Until a child who had been standing next to him spoke up, interrupting him.
He finally snapped out of his thoughts.
Looking at Ji Xuan in front of him, whose face was young and whose voice was also childish.
And then there's his head full of white hair, making him look like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
A wave of grief washed over me.
"Xiao Xuan, do you think we should leave here?"
Ji Xuan couldn't understand the complex emotions in his eyes.
Hearing him say that, I assumed they were moving again.
After a moment's hesitation, he cautiously said:
"Master, are we moving again?"
"Could you please not move too far this time, so I can continue my studies at this school?"
Ji Kang was somewhat resistant to the idea of moving.
Because every time he moves, he has to choose a new school to attend.
When I entered the new school, I could no longer see the friends I had made before.
If you want to meet up and spend time with someone, you'll have to put in a lot of effort again.
He hated this feeling.
"But...no, this time we have to go far away."
Seeing his pitiful expression, Ji Xiuming almost agreed.
The only concern is that we haven't received any news from the city this time.
Xin Chi has probably been taken into custody by the government.
Although he considers himself to be a first-rate craftsman in making human skin masks.
Even if an ordinary person gets close to look, or tells him directly that someone is wearing a human skin mask, it's not a problem.
He probably wouldn't be able to find any flaws or discover the existence of the mask.
However, once the state apparatus is in operation, its power is enormous.
If they wanted to investigate, they could always find clues in Xin Chi's movements.
Or perhaps there are some extraordinary individuals like him who can see through the human skin mask.
Although the possibility is very small, his guess was not wrong.
After all, Yan Bin and his team have Shen Mu Ning as a cheat code.
The moment the mental energy was focused on Xin Chi, it detected his abnormality.
Fortunately, by sheer coincidence, we were able to learn how to remove the human skin mask from his memories!
Doesn't that immediately expose his true identity?
Therefore, the first people to be investigated are those who have had contact with Xin Chi.
Although he had no direct contact with Xin Chi.
Even when making a mask that fit him, he found a safe place.
She appeared before him only after undergoing a complete makeover.
However, this does not mean that his identity will definitely not be leaked.
After all, there was Shi Zhixin, who knew the identity of the bookstore owner and had seen his true face.
So no matter how you look at it, the danger he's exposed to is huge.
He should leave first.
When Ji Xuan heard his master refuse without hesitation, he knew that he could not change his master's decision.
She just pouted and asked, looking aggrieved:
"Master, we're living here just fine, why do we have to move?"
From childhood to adulthood, his master would help him move every six months or a year.
Therefore, he collected a whole bunch of excuses for moving that his master had given him.
For example, "The neighborhood isn't safe, and I don't feel comfortable letting you go out to play on weekdays."
There's also the saying, "It's too far from the school, making it inconvenient for you to go to school."
And 'The kids here are unfriendly, we're not staying here anymore.'
This time, six months passed, a year passed, and five years passed.
The mover didn't make up any reason and took him to move.
He thought he could live here for a very long time!
Let's see what trouble the master can find in his current residence.
Looking at Ji Xuan's aggrieved expression, Ji Xiuming felt a little heavy-hearted.
He also recalled that in the past, Ji Xuan would become depressed for a long time whenever he moved to a new environment.
