Before going out, Xiao Jun put on a baseball cap and secretly held a baseball bat in his hand behind his back.
Hearing the footsteps, Qiu Xingluo showed a triumphant smile, waved to his younger brothers, and mouthed: Get it ready for me.
The footsteps suddenly stopped. Qiu Xingluo listened for a long time, making sure that there was no sound. He carefully stuck half of his head out, but found the path empty and there was no one in sight.
"Where are the people?" Qiu Xingluo asked angrily.
The gangsters didn't dare to speak, for fear of angering the old man.
"Ah!" A scream was heard, and the gangster standing at the back knelt on the ground, covering his arms.
"What are you screaming about?!" Qiu Xingluo turned around and was punched in the face. He covered his left eye socket and vaguely saw a familiar figure.
Xiao Jun had no intention of holding back. He swung his stick, avoiding the vital parts and striking. Later, he felt that hitting with the stick was not enough, and punching the flesh was more exciting. Originally, two thugs wanted to rush up to rescue Qiu Xingluo, but when Xiao Jun turned around, the cruel look in his eyes startled them.
"Go!" the gang leader said, "This guy is desperate."
Qiu Xingluo was beaten so hard that he kept wailing. He had deliberately chosen a place where there was no surveillance, so even if he wanted to find fault afterwards, he had no reason to do so.
Xiao Jun enjoyed the fight very much, and after it was over, he did not forget to call the police and report that his house had been robbed.
When the police arrived, they didn't see the thief. They only saw Qiu Xingluo, who was beaten black and blue, and valuables scattered on the ground.
In the past, Xiao Jun might have felt guilty, but through his contact with Wei Sushen and especially the chicken during this period, he had already developed a devilish heart.
No matter what the process was, Xiao Jun did beat someone after all. Wei Sushen did not inform Xiao Zhitong and took the initiative to bail him out.
At the police station, Xiao Jun clenched his numb fists, ignoring the angry fire in Qiu Xingluo's eyes. Just then, Wei Sushen slowly approached, his powerful aura and the rooster in his arms attracting many eyes.
"He clearly hit people on purpose!" Qiu Xingluo accused the police.
Wei Sushen smiled when he heard this: "This gentleman's face is like this, it's normal that my brother didn't recognize him."
Qiu Xingluo said angrily: "I was beaten by him!"
Wei Sushen spoke slowly and calmly: "Then please explain to me, Mr. Qiu, why did you come to my house to steal things?"
"What nonsense!" Qiu Xingluo slammed the table and stood up, but was held down by the police again.
Xiao Jun, who was sitting opposite, said coldly, "There are surveillance cameras at home, which at least can rule out the possibility that I framed you. And when I chased after him, I clearly heard the thief call you boss."
Qiu Xingluo: "Bullshit!"
Xiao Jun felt relieved. Although Qiu Xingluo was a bit of a jerk, she rarely used vulgar language. After all, she came from a wealthy family and had been nurtured in this area since childhood. He had also been driven to swear a few times in the past.
The police were also troubled, but they still sided with the Xiao family. It was Qiu Xingluo's fault for being unreliable and causing trouble all the time. Now, they had hit a wall!
Qiu Xingluo didn't even care about his image. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Li Kai?"
The young man following the police was stunned: "You are..."
"You're blind!" Qiu Xingluo said, "I'm your Grandpa Qiu!"
Li Kai gasped: "Mr. Qiu, how did you become like this?"
Qiu Xingluo waved his hand: "Go away."
Li Kai shook his head, thinking that these rich young men were unreasonable, and walked into the interrogation room.
Qiu Xingluo seemed to know the policeman who brought him here, and hooked his finger: "What crime did that kid commit?"
"His girlfriend is dead, routine investigation."
Qiu Xingluo felt that this was not a simple matter. Usually, the police would come to investigate and question someone at home. Bringing him to the police station specifically only meant that he was highly suspected. His eyes rolled, and he suddenly calmed down. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Xiao Jun. "Not long ago, Liu Dali came to me specifically to inquire about Li Kai. Perhaps you are also interested."
Xiao Jun just felt that the name Li Kai sounded familiar, and now he realized that it was Xiao Qi who asked him to inquire about the boyfriend of the deceased in the incident. It seemed that the police had a new clue.
When he looked up again, Xiao Qi had disappeared without a trace, leaving him and Qiu Xingluo staring blankly.
…
Liu Dali had a brilliant plan. He called Wei Sushen, then hung up after three seconds. Even if the other party asked, he wouldn't hesitate to share information. But at the last second, the call was connected.
"Speak." During the brief pause, Wei Sushen's tone was slightly impatient.
Liu Dali swallowed his saliva and thought to himself that this was a bad idea: "I have some important information to tell you."
Wei Sushen: "The deceased's ex-boyfriend is called Li Kai, and he is currently being questioned at the police station. What else can you tell me?"
Liu Dali: “…Gone.”
Wei Sushen sneered, leaving only mystery.
Liu Dali has always been a bit clever. When he saw Wei Sushen instigating the children to rely on the power of others to accomplish things, he judged that even if this person had some ability, he was extremely lazy and cunning in his daily life. He never thought that he would actually participate in the investigation.
"The starving ghosts have done great harm to people, so I will do my best," Wei Sushen said calmly, but without question. "I hope we can put aside our prejudices and cooperate sincerely."
Liu Dali sighed, "My vision is too narrow. I'm not even as good as the last young man... I do have some information. If it's convenient, you can come find me at the cafe across from the Snow City Hotel."
Fang Shan, who was openly eavesdropping on the phone, was dissatisfied: "Why do they all like to meet in coffee shops to talk things over? Don't these people know that there is a good place in the world called a bar?"
Wei Sushen hung up the phone and said calmly, "No one would talk about serious matters in a bar."
Fang Shan's sharp lips twitched: "Superficial."
Wei Sushen took a taxi to the coffee shop while holding the dissatisfied rooster. He had been to similar places quite often recently. Even in the real world, he also had a part-time job in a coffee shop. Now he felt a little uncomfortable when he smelled the aroma of coffee.
Frankly speaking, the moment he walked into the coffee shop, he felt that the smell of alcohol on Fang Shan was better than this.
This coffee shop also sells alcohol, but the alcohol content is not high. Wei Sushen took the initiative to order a bottle for Fang Shan for the first time.
When Liu Dali walked over, he saw the classic scene of a handsome young man pouring wine for a chicken.
"It is indeed an extraordinary spiritual pet." Liu Dali said politely.
Huangdou looked at everything with disdain. He patted the table with his wings, indicating that he could sit down and talk.
The smile on Liu Dali's face was a little forced, as he always felt that the big rooster was in a superior position in front of him.
He came alone, carrying a briefcase. "Li Kai is a very interesting person. He's unemployed and makes money playing games. Because he's good at it, he can even hang out with some of the rich second-generations."
Wei Sushen: "What is his relationship with Qiu Xingluo?"
Liu Dali smiled and said, "Very good, but not the kind of good friends. Li Kai has been trying hard to please Qiu Xingluo, almost playing the role of a follower, but Qiu Xingluo has been deliberately distancing herself from him recently."
While Wei Sushen was thinking, Fang Shan was drinking with a straw, making slurping sounds. Liu Dali's attention was attracted by him from time to time. He marveled at the magic of creation that such a wonderful spiritual pet could be born.
After a while, Wei Sushen slowly spoke: "Qiu Xingluo's methods are not up to par, but he still has some brains. Maybe he has discovered something strange."
Liu Dali opened the file bag and pulled out two photos. "These are Li Kai's recent girlfriends. They used to weigh over 120 pounds, but they lost weight after dating him for a while."
These facts piled up together, clearly not a coincidence. Liu Dali frowned, "There's another thing. Li Kai's father was once a ghost exorcist. He was later reported for using living people to study evil magic and was expelled from the Ghost Exorcist Association."
Wei Sushen: "Just expulsion?"
Liu Dali: "Ghost exorcists already enjoy great privileges. At the time, no irreparable tragedy had occurred. Furthermore, the nature of the incident was egregious. If it had been spread, it would have had a negative impact on the reputation of ghost exorcists as a whole, so it was suppressed."
The bottle of wine was almost empty, but Fang Shan didn't drink enough. There was still some wisdom in his amber eyes. He used his claws to randomly scratch the table. Wei Sushen understood his gesture and lowered his eyes slightly.
Liu Dali didn't stay long before he was called away by a phone call.
Fang Shan: "You should let him pay the bill before leaving."
Wei Sushen said calmly, "Don't be too picky about everything."
Fang Shan waved his claws at him and said, "I don't need the host to teach me how to be a chicken."
“…”
Fang Shan dipped the remaining coffee in the paper and wrote "a beast in human form" on the table. He raised his eyebrows at Wei Sushen, but unfortunately the rooster's eyebrows were so sparse that they could not be seen at all.
Wei Sushen looked at it for a while and said, "This word might be suitable for Li Kai."
Fang Shan nodded. "He just passed by us at the police station. He had a strange odor. Even a spirit summoner couldn't see any other abnormalities, let alone a law enforcer."
After exchanging a glance, Fang Shan spoke first: "Don't forget that Xiao Jun still has to help us with free work for a few days."
Seeing that no one was around, Fang Shan flew under the table, and out came a fat kid: "Go and guard the police station door. The detention time is limited. When Li Kai is released, you hold me and walk around under his nose."
Wei Sushen walked out holding the chubby little hand: "The identity of a ghost exorcist will make people feel apprehensive."
Fang Shan pinched his palm and said, "I'm giving the host a piece of advice for free. A starving ghost has no reason."
When they returned to the police station, Xiao Jun had already explained the situation clearly and left. Qiu Xingluo used his family's power to temporarily bail him out. It was said that when the two left, they punched and kicked each other, and walked away with their necks pinched.
Fang Shan sighed, "They must have loved each other."
As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.
Wei Sushen let him let his thoughts wander, his eyes fixed on the inside, and suddenly said, "Here it comes."
Li Kai frowned when he suddenly came into contact with the sunlight. His hair was a little messy and he looked worried. He accidentally saw Wei Sushen and subconsciously paused: "Mr. Xiao?"
Wei Sushen ignored him and just glanced at him.
Li Kai quickly said: "I've seen you before when I went out with Qiu Shao."
Wei Sushen nodded and asked knowingly, "Where is Xiao Jun?"
Li Kai: "He's gone." Then he looked at the fat baby in his arms and said: "This child is really rare."
Fang Shan is often praised for being cute, but this is the first time she has heard such compliments.
Li Kai could hardly take his eyes off the delicate and beautiful child. "Such innocent eyes, as if dust couldn't even touch them. I wonder how outstanding their parents must be to give birth to such a smart child."
Wei Sushen said calmly: "I am an illegitimate child."
“…”
The author has something to say: Fang Shan: You are very good.
Wei Sushen: ...Yeah.
