Chapter 158 Is your department still hiring?
Wang Han explained all this to Yuan Chun with a serious expression.
"Do you suspect that this was not done by humans?"
Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, after investigation, the police found that no one was seen passing through any of the surveillance cameras leading into the city on the road where the crime occurred on the night of the incident."
"Moreover, our officers detected a strong aura of death at the scene!"
"Coincidentally, the day before the first accident was the Ghost Festival, when the gates of hell are wide open! Therefore, we believe that this incident was most likely not man-made..."
Wang Han nodded and said.
"So how do you want to handle this?"
Yuan Chun asked Wang Han.
"What I'm thinking is that since two tragedies have already happened on bus No. 414, I think there's a high chance this evil spirit will harm someone again."
"Master, I want you to come with me, disguise yourself as a passenger, and take the last bus of Route 414 at night. Let's see if that can lure him out!"
Wang Han told his plan.
"He attacked twice and killed twelve people. He's a ferocious evil spirit. Aren't you afraid of danger by getting in the car yourself?"
Yuan Chun smiled.
"Master Yuan, you're joking. I'm in Bureau 101, and that's exactly what I do. I can't ask you for help and let you get in the car and take the risk alone. That would be a bit of a jerk."
"Besides, I have the means to protect myself and won't let them bully me. At the very least, I still have you, Master."
Wang Han shook his head and smiled indifferently.
"Okay, then, let's follow your plan."
Yuan Chun nodded and agreed. As he spoke, he raised his palm slightly and stretched it in front of Wang Han.
"Um?"
"Oh! I understand, Master. Wait a moment!"
Wang Han was stunned when he saw Yuan Chun's actions, but he immediately reacted and hurried back to the car.
A moment later, Wang Han took out a rectangular box from the car and ran back.
"Of course, I can't ask the master for help for free. The things have already been prepared!"
Wang Han patted the box and chuckled.
"This box is quite big. What's inside?"
The box is about sixty to seventy centimeters long, dark red in color, with no special decorations, and is very simple and quaint.
Wang Han smiled slightly:
"Master, please look."
After saying that, Wang Han opened the box and put it on the table.
I saw a wooden stick quietly placed inside?
"Is this... a peachwood branch?"
Yuan Chun calmed down and immediately recognized that the wooden stick was a peach wood branch.
"This is no ordinary peachwood branch. It depends on whether the master can tell the difference."
Wang Han smiled mysteriously.
Yuan Chun said nothing when he heard this, but reached out and picked up the peach wood branch.
As soon as he got it in his hand, Yuan Chun's expression changed slightly.
This peach wood branch is icy cold all over and extremely hard, as if it is not a peach wood branch but a steel bar!
"A peachwood branch of this quality, some years old..."
Yuan Chun couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Master, why don't you take a guess?"
Wang Han smiled.
"You can't faze me."
Yuan Chun chuckled, and then gathered a touch of spiritual energy from heaven and earth in his eyes, taking in the essence of the peach wood branch in front of him.
At the same time, Yuan Chun couldn't help but look shocked!
"Three hundred and twenty-seven years old peachwood branch!"
Although Yuan Chun guessed that the peach wood branch was very old, he never expected it to be three hundred years old!
The average lifespan of a peach tree is around 20 to 40 years, with 50 years being rare. As for a peach tree that is a hundred years old, it is something that only exists in legends!
But the peach wood branch in front of me is actually more than three hundred years old!
Wang Han couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:
"Master Yuan is Master Yuan. Nothing can escape your discerning eye. This peach branch is indeed over three hundred years old. Finding another one would be incredibly difficult."
"Master, is this peach branch enough to pay for your help?"
Peach wood is also known as fairy wood, dragon-subduing wood, and ghost-fearing wood. It has been known since ancient times to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.
The peach wood branch in front of him had reached an extremely rare age of three hundred years, and its effect in suppressing evil had increased many times. Yuan Chun was naturally happy to take it for his own use.
"I'm curious about one thing now."
Yuan Chun said as he rubbed the peach wood branch.
"What are you curious about, Master?"
"Last time you took out top-grade mutton-fat white jade, and now you've taken out a three-hundred-year-old peachwood branch. What the hell is this place called Bureau 101? How come you have so many rare and precious treasures? Are you hiring?"
Yuan Chun asked seriously.
"Hahaha, Master, if you are willing to come to our bureau, the higher-ups will definitely be happy to see you. As for this treasure, Master, don't forget that Bureau 101 has existed since the founding of Dragon Country. Coupled with the special nature of our work, we naturally have our own heritage over the years.
“These things can still be taken out.”
Wang Han laughed out loud when he heard this.
"When are you going to start?"
Yuan Chun didn't dwell on this issue and changed the subject.
"This matter can't be delayed. Otherwise, if there's another murder, the higher-ups will have to deal with me. I'm going back to prepare. Let's start tomorrow night."
Wang Han thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, tomorrow night then."
Yuan Chun nodded, and since he only had one day left, he was ready to make some preparations.
--------------------
After seeing Wang Han off, Yuan Chun rubbed the peach wood branch and began to ponder.
If an evil spirit does appear during your nighttime activities, this peachwood branch can be of use, but it needs to be processed...
Thinking of this, Yuan Chun immediately took out his mobile phone, found the phone number of the jade shop owner Jiang Lin, and called him.
"Hey! Brother Yuan! What's going on? Do you want some goods?"
The call was connected, and Jiang Lin's voice came through accompanied by a burst of noisy noise.
"Is Mr. Jiang in the store? I'm out of stock."
Yuan Chun smiled.
"Hey, Brother Yuan, I'm not in the store right now. I'm buying goods at the jade yard. How about this, if it's convenient for you, you can come directly to the jade yard. I can't go back for a while."
"Okay, just send me the location and I'll go right away."
After saying that, Yuan Chun hung up the phone.
I was wondering why there was so much noise on the other end of the phone. It turned out that Jiang Lin had gone to the jade field.
Soon, Jiang Lin sent the address of the jade field to Yuan Chun's mobile phone via WeChat.
It is more than a hundred miles away from the city center.
--------------------
Dozens of minutes later, Yuan Chun drove a black Bentley to the gate of the jade mine.
Jiang Lin heard the noise and hurried out.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, for making you come all the way here."
"It's okay. There just happens to be more jade at the jade mine, so I can pick more."
Jiang Lin and Yuan Chun exchanged a few words and then walked into the jade field together.
At this time, in the huge jade field, various machines for transporting and cutting jade were running, and the noise was deafening.
A middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes stood in the field and gave orders from time to time.
"Foreigners?"
Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows.
