Chapter 490 Above the Posa (25) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
"Will they attack again? Captain, you just woke up and haven't recovered yet. Xiao Guo knows the location of this pharmacy. Will they let him in again?" Xu Ke suddenly became anxious. "Should we change the location?"
"Change now? Do you think your captain is not walking fast enough?" Zhao Yinglai twitched his lips. "There is a doctor in the pharmacy. If he goes somewhere else, what if your captain needs to change medicine or have a follow-up visit?"
"That's right, that's right," Xu Ke slapped his forehead, "Then I'll send a few more people to keep watch! We'll take turns guarding here!"
"The pharmacy can't accommodate any more people," Bai Jinshu said in a gentle voice, "There were eight people here last night, and everyone was sleeping very nervously. There weren't enough stools. If we add more people, no one will get a good night's rest, and Doctor Fan will notice something is wrong."
Of course, Dr. Fan has now discovered their identity as outsiders and will certainly not comment too much on the strange behavior of these team members.
But it is precisely because Dr. Fan discovered their identities and showed a certain friendliness towards them that the pharmacy is now the base camp for the exploration team. If there were more people in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, it would be inconvenient for them to exchange information and go in and out in the middle of the night.
Regarding those shallows, the movements of Gu King Fu Yiran, the situation of Cai Hong and Fang Sha, and the foundation's exploration of rules, it is not appropriate to talk about these in front of these team members at the moment.
"What should we do?" Xu Ke paced back and forth anxiously, "How about I stay up all night and stay here... No, Captain, what's with that expression on your face?"
He turned his head and met a pair of speechless gazes.
Huai Jiamu: “…You are overreacting.”
"I am just worried!" Xu Ke defended his overreaction, "But now those people in the other world want to kill you, Captain. Aren't you worried?"
"It's useless for you to worry about these things now," Zhao Yinglai yawned while curling up in the chair, "Can you rush back to the other world immediately and kill that big shot on the spot?"
"And the thing this big shot is holding, well... I don't think it's that serious," Bai Jinshu shook his head slightly, "If this is useful, then your captain would have been dealt with long before you came to this world, and there would be no need to wait until now."
This is a non-materialistic world. If what he got were really things like hair, nails or horoscopes that could be used for curses, then the captain that Huai Jiamu replaced would have been killed long before he came. There would be no need to go through the trouble of sending the entire team into another world to take action.
Moreover, if Xiao Guo had something that could cause great damage to Huai Jiamu, he would not have made those few additional attacks later.
The two of them took turns pouring cold water on him, and finally pulled Xu Ke back from his anxiety.
"Oh, right," Xu Ke stopped and stood there thinking for a few seconds, "Doesn't that mean they can't do anything to the captain now that we are in a different world? Should we stay here until the captain recovers from his injury before going back?"
That would be a big deal.
Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai looked at each other, and Zhao Yinglai sighed: "I think you should go back early."
Otherwise, if you stay here for more than seven days, something serious will happen.
"If we go back soon, they will be more likely to attack us if they see the captain like this," Xu Ke was troubled. "At least we will be safer in this world."
"No, you said before that they might send someone in." Zhao Yinglai added mercilessly.
"Then we still have to strengthen our vigilance," Xu Ke said helplessly, "The only solution we can use now is to leave more people in the pharmacy. Do you have any other solution?"
He originally had no choice but to say this. Now Huai Jiamu was seriously injured, and there was no telling how far the people targeting him would go. In order to ensure the captain's safety, the best way was to have someone guarding him 24 hours a day.
However, it is really unrealistic to keep a few more people in the pharmacy. First, the place is small and if there are too many people, they will be unable to move around. Second, no matter how you look at it, they are outsiders. If too many people are left here, Dr. Fan, the owner of the pharmacy in another world, will notice that something is wrong.
Xu Ke thought about it and originally wanted to stay behind to keep watch, but he didn't expect that the next second, the long-haired young man who had been sitting next to the captain pondered for a moment and said, "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots?"
"There's only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there's no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly, "If you want to prevent anyone from attacking your captain again in the future, shouldn't you strike first and attack the other party?"
Xu Ke:?
ah?
Is this really something you can say in front of him as a police officer?
"It's just a joke," Bai Jinshu smiled slightly the next second, "Just to liven up the atmosphere."
Xu Ke responded dryly: "Oh, just kidding, haha..."
Why did he feel that this person was not joking?
Not to mention the sudden change in their momentum after they heard their captain was injured last night, you asked around about Cai Hong and Fang Sha, and ended up catching them at night. How did you do that?
Are you really not seeking revenge on purpose?
"Deputy Captain Xu seems to think this is not a joke?" The long-haired young man sitting on the rattan chair blinked, "But the big shot your captain offended is in another world. No matter what I say, I can't do anything to him, right?"
Xu Ke: ...That’s true.
Maybe meeting Cai Hong and Fang Sha was really a coincidence. After all, these two people have disappeared now. If Scaro really caught these two people and was preparing to take revenge, he should not have let them run away last night.
Barrage:
【《Nothing will happen to him》】
[What a good guy who won't do anything to him. ]
[Aoshen said: He is in another world, I won't do anything to him. 】
[Aoshen's inner thoughts: I will kill you next. 】
[Come on, the market is open again. The time of this great man has been wasted. I will just bet a little for three days and bet on a newly acquired car to join in the fun.]
[Why three days? One day! Believe in Aoshen and believe in love! Bet on a C-level space that is sure to win. ]
[One day is too late, right? Although Aoshen said that he would not kill the other party, they are indeed two different worlds. Even if he wants to find a way to go to the other world, it will take several days. I bet on four days. Anyway, there are only four days left now. Which is the C-level space that is guaranteed to make money? Give me an account so that my family can make money together. ]
[Then I'll bet for two days. I think Aoshen must have figured out how to leave here. Last night when Xu Ke and the others were looking for a way to leave, Jiang Jie asked Aoshen if they could leave like this. Aoshen said with certainty that they couldn't. So he must have found a way.]
[Then there are four options now: [four days] [three days] [two days] [one day]. The room manager will open it and everyone can place their bets freely. ]
[One day? I don't think it will take even one day. I'll continue to bet until dawn! If I lose, I'll give an angel investment to each member of the exploration team in this world! ]
【The boss is generous. 】
【Fugo v50. 】
In the unknown space, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird because of Bai Jin's words.
Zhao Yinglai blinked and took the initiative to change the subject: "Speaking of which... who is this big shot that your captain has offended? What leverage do you have over him? Can't you use this leverage to manipulate things?"
"How do we do this?" Xu Ke was a little annoyed. "The captain never told us who this person is!"
"Then just go over there on yourselves," Zhao Yinglai jumped down from the stool and moved it over to sit down. "Since this big shot wants to kill your captain, it must be that your captain knows something and he's afraid that the captain will tell others, right?"
"Yes." Xu Ke nodded.
"Then your captain just needs to promise him not to tell anyone!" Zhao Ying slapped his thigh.
"This... even if the captain agrees, the other side won't believe it, right?" Xu Ke was confused.
"Oh, why don't you understand?" Zhao Yinglai had an expression of a child who could not be taught, and stretched out his two hands and rubbed them together, "Do you understand? That's it."
Xu Ke looked at her with clear, blank eyes.
Zhao Yinglai was very disappointed: "Hey... hush money! Your captain doesn't plan to tell this secret to anyone, but the other party definitely doesn't believe it. In this case, if we get a hush money, won't both parties be satisfied?"
The captain got the money, and the big shot whose big secret was discovered spent money to gain peace of mind. It was a win-win situation for both parties.
Xu Ke: ...
"Why don't you take a look at who we are..." He couldn't help but speak.
Is it really okay to say this in front of a policeman like him?
Are these two friends of the Captain really law-abiding citizens!
One wanted to root out the problem and kill the big shot directly, while the other openly admitted to taking bribes in front of a policeman.
It would be fine if you two just talked about it in private, but saying it in front of the captain and the deputy captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau is really punishable by torture and handcuffs.
Zhao Yinglai curled his lips: "Isn't this just to provide you with an idea? I didn't instigate you."
"Besides, you said he's a big shot, and you said it's a life-threatening secret. It's normal for him to be worried because you have evidence against him. In this case, either he has evidence against your captain and can check and balance him, or he can just create one manually."
Taking the "hush money" is a good handle to create by oneself. Not only can she get the money, but she can also make the other party feel at ease. She really thinks this method is very good. When she was a younger brother of the Gu King Long Aotian in the Gu field, she often dealt with such things for this group of Gu Kings.
The Gu King paid money and gained peace of mind, while the other side gained money and did not have to be killed by people sent by Long Aotian. Everyone was very satisfied.
It's a win-win situation, why does it have to get to the point where one side wants to kill the other? Look, this will only cause trouble for Skao.
Really.
Otherwise, why do they say that spending money can ward off disaster? If I give this captain some money early, I won’t offend their captain [0106].
Xu Ke waved his hands helplessly: "Just tell us this in private, don't tell anyone outside, and don't throw dirty water on our captain, or you will suffer retribution."
Zhao Yinglai jumped up from his chair: "Why are you throwing dirty water on him? He didn't do anything. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear..."
Before she could finish her words, the chair beneath her suddenly shook violently and suddenly fell apart.
Zhao Yinglai, who was sitting cross-legged on it, was caught off guard and fell into a pile of wood.
The scene was strangely quiet for a few seconds, and Zhao Yinglai raised his head: "Is this really retribution?"
"You wouldn't really take the money, would you?" She stared at Huai Jiamu with wide eyes.
Bai Jinshu: ...
"I told you not to move," he pinched the bridge of his nose, "Look now, the chair is falling apart, isn't it?"
"I told you that you would be punished," Xu Ke said faintly, "Look, you've fallen down now, haven't you?"
Zhao Yinglai: "So no one comes to help me?"
You two just watched her fall into a pile of scattered wood?
Bai Jinshu and Xu Ke expressed their rejection with their eyes.
"Brother Jiang Jie, are you okay?" Only Wen Qi ran over quickly, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Yinglai up from the ground, "Be careful, you have very bad luck this morning."
"It has to be you, Qiqi—" Zhao Yinglai dragged out his voice, "Look at these two people, look..."
She locked eyes with her captain: "... Well, let's not look at it."
It’s better not to look at Scaro’s kind yet piercing eyes.
"Brother Jiang Jie, please watch your feet. I don't know how this chair fell apart. Be careful not to sprain your ankle." Wen Qi added worriedly.
"OKOK," Zhao Yinglai made an OK gesture, stepped over the broken stools, and sighed, "Hey... I feel like I'm having a bad morning."
It's simply abnormal that she is so unlucky.
"Why don't you sit on my stool?" Xu Ke pointed to his seat.
Now, whenever he thought about someone watching their captain, watching their team trapped in another world, he became so anxious that he couldn't sit down and could only walk around to relieve his anxiety.
"Goodbye," Zhao Yinglai pushed Wen Qi's shoulder, "You go sit down, I'm fine standing here."
Otherwise, there were not many stools in the pharmacy, and she had used them all up, so what would today's patients sit on?
Wen Qi blinked: "Can I?"
Aren't they talking about some secret topic?
"Why not?" Bai Jinshu glanced at her with a smile, and pointed at the stool in front of him with his chin. "Sit down, there's nothing you can't listen to."
The "big shot" they were discussing might be related to the parents of the two classmates who bullied Wen Qi.
Wen Qi was naturally not stupid. After getting Bai Jinshu's affirmation, she sat down immediately.
"It's better if Wen Qi doesn't know..." Xu Ke wanted to stop him, but was interrupted by Bai Jinshu before he could finish his words.
"This big shot might be related to the parents of the two classmates who bullied her," the long-haired young man looked over innocently, "If you want to take her back, at least make sure she understands the situation, right?"
"I...I want to know," Wen Qi raised her eyes, tears already welling up in just a few seconds, "Brother Xu Ke..."
The two of them sang in unison. Xu Ke rubbed his forehead, and was finally defeated by the guilt: "...You want to know, you still want to know!"
He couldn't help but look at the captain on the bed: "Captain, now that it has come to this, you can finally tell me, right? Who is it? What's the secret?"
"He was the one who sent Xiao Guo into the team to monitor you, the captain, and to disgust you on purpose," he began to walk around again. "I asked you at the beginning, but you didn't tell me who it was. Now that Xiao Guo has hurt you like this, you can tell me, right?"
"Xiao Guo..." Zhao Yinglai touched his chin and observed Scarao's expression.
It seems that this little Guo is not far from death.
"Xiao Guo was sent to monitor your captain's whereabouts?" Bai Jinshu leaned back and changed his sitting position. "Didn't they say that your captain learned a fatal secret of the other side?"
"Yeah?" Xu Ke agreed subconsciously.
"Your captain has learned the other party's secret. Is the person sent by the other party to monitor their whereabouts?" Bai Jinshu rubbed his fingers together. "Don't you think the logic is wrong?"
"But Xiao Guo's main role is to let the captain know that he has been keeping an eye on us..." Xu Ke explained.
“No, no, no,” the long-haired young man glanced at her, “Xiao Guo’s role is to monitor. No one would specially send a useless person to deliberately disgust the person who knows his secret.”
Even if this secret is told, the person who spreads the secret will be doomed, and there is still the saying of "fish die and net break". Human emotions are like a bow. When the bowstring is pulled tight to the extreme, it will either break or the arrow will be shot. If you push someone to a dead end, you don't know what the other party will do.
This "big shot" must be impure. If Xiao Guo sent him here and he has no real use, why would he force someone who knows his secrets to this point?
This doesn't make sense.
So Xiao Guo’s use must be surveillance.
"But Xiao Guo can't possibly monitor the captain," Xu Ke was bewildered. "How can he be sure whether the captain has passed the information on? He can't check the captain's phone every day, can he?"
"So Xiao Guo is definitely not monitoring him to pass on this information," Bai Jinshu held up his chin, "He must be preventing your captain from going somewhere...right?"
He looked at Huai Jiamu with a smile.
【Aoshen's smile is killing me. 】
[Aoshen is laughing so happily, is he going to kill someone again? ]
[He's a big shot. He asked this question. He must be going to kill him.]
【Why do I feel like it’s Xiao Guo. 】
[What? Open another one?]
[The friend in front of me is addicted. Small gambling is good for your mood, but big gambling is harmful to your health. I won’t open it anymore. I’ll just do this. When will this big guy bet on it be sent? ]
[Can I canvass for votes? Friends passing by, please vote [within one day] meow, vote [within one day] thank you meow! ]
【Friends passing by, please go and vote for [Before Dawn][Within One Day][Within Three Days][Within Four Days] meow, the odds for [Within Two Days] are higher if you vote for these four. Thank you meow! 】
[You kid, I've made you understand the opening of the foundation. ]
【This is called mathematics made clear to me. 】
On the screen, Bai Jinshu stared at Huai Jiamu with a smile for a few seconds, and finally saw the captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau who had been at the center of the topic meet his gaze and sighed: "Just ask whatever you want to ask, there's no need to be like this."
I went through a lot of twists and turns just to get some information about this big shot out of him.
"That's because I'm afraid you won't tell me," Bai Jinshu tilted his head while supporting his chin, "So what's going on with this big shot, and what's the so-called handle?"
"He's not a big shot," Huai Jiamu sighed slightly. "A few years ago, I went to investigate a case of people jumping off a building in a newly built commercial area. I found out that nine people had jumped off a building in that area within three months. The person in charge of the mall closed the mall at the time, suspecting that a competitor had deliberately sent someone in to disrupt their Feng Shui during the renovation."
The breaking of the Feng Shui Bureau only falls within the scope of business warfare, but after the Feng Shui Bureau was broken, some people still tampered with it, resulting in nine people jumping from the building within three months. This falls within the scope of management of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.
"Oh, I remember this!" Xu Ke interrupted, "This case was a big deal at the time. It started from a post on a supernatural forum. The poster said that he lived near that business district, and then he witnessed the mall across the street being surrounded four times in one month, so he posted this. So, Captain, you were investigating this in the first place!"
"Yeah," Huai Jiamu nodded imperceptibly, "water."
Bai Jinshu handed over a cup with a straw. Huai Jiamu took a few sips from his hand before continuing, "After investigating this case, we found that the feng shui of the business district was not broken. The reason why nine people jumped was because something was at work."
"What is that?" Xu Ke came closer curiously.
"Little ghost," Huai Jiamu said without giving any suspense, "The big boss of the company behind the mall hired a ghost card. During the opening period, he was busy with mall affairs and did not submit the card in time, so the little ghost took away nine lives."
"Fuck," Xu Ke's eyes widened, "Is his kid so fierce?"
"Then...then the fatal secret in your hand is this kid?" He was a little incredulous. "This...although it will certainly cause the company's stock price to plummet if it gets out, there is no real evidence anyway, right?"
It won’t be to the extent of killing their captain, right?
"The little ghost he raised might be his biological child," Huai Jiamu said very succinctly. "When I was about to continue investigating, I don't know what he did, but the little ghost suddenly stopped harming people, and the superior who handed the case over to us suddenly started to put pressure on me. You all know what happened next."
Xu Ke discovered that a mysterious force was intentionally targeting his captain, and not long after, Xiao Guo was transferred to the team.
Now it seems that Xiao Guo’s role is not to prevent the captain from passing the information on, but to prevent the captain from continuing the investigation.
After all, at the beginning, we only found out about the raising of a little ghost, but there is no conclusion yet on who the little ghost is.
"So that's how it is..." Zhao Yinglai touched his chin thoughtfully. When he turned around, he suddenly noticed that Wen Qi's expression was not right.
She poked Bai Jinshu with her arm calmly.
Bai Jinshu turned his head and looked in the direction Zhao Ying was looking.
[Wen Qi seems to know something?] Zhao Ying lip-syncs, [Let’s ask?]
Although this girl is only fifteen, she is usually as smart as a monkey. She is good at pretending to be pitiful and selling information. This is the first time she has shown such an expression. She must know something.
Considering that the big boss of the company behind the shopping mall mentioned by the captain should be in the same class as Wen Qi's parents, she may know more than the captain.
Bai Jinshu nodded slightly, and the two were about to continue asking questions when someone pushed open the door of the pharmacy.
"Wow, so many people?" The old man's voice sounded, "Are you all here to see the wounded? Come out of the way, let me see how the wounds are."
Xu Ke quickly made way for Doctor Fan: "Doctor, look!"
"Well, let me see..." Doctor Fan walked towards Huai Jiamu, took a few steps, and his eyes suddenly fell on Zhao Yinglai who was not far away, "Hmm?"
He looked at Zhao Yinglai carefully and said, "Jiang Jie, why is there another person on you?"
