Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Trust the Detective’s Eyes "The manor? Everything in the manor has been moved out, all the documents have been collected and are right in front of you, are we still going?" "Trust the detective’s eyes, sister!" Lin Xiaosu said. Blue Demon smiled sweetly, "Alright, senior brother!" The title ’sister’ originated from their first meeting. No matter how much time has passed, whenever Lin Xiaosu says the word ’sister’, Blue Demon feels a unique sensation, as if it adds a bit of warmth. And the word ’senior brother’, she was saying it for the first time in her life. This title seems to reflect a transformation in their relationship. Now, she is willing to see him as a brother. On the same path, the more capable one leads... She admits Lin Xiaosu is stronger than her! The car sped southeast, and Lin Xiaosu closed his eyes. In his mind, thoughts were swirling rapidly... Who could send explosive, top-secret information to Qianlong? Who could do it? Among thousands of Qianlong members, who knows who the General Leader of the Nine Headed Snake in the Daxia District is? If someone knew, just one piece of information would earn them the Qianlong Annual Medal. Therefore, it’s clear that whoever sent this message could not be from Qianlong, nor from anyone in the Mortal World seeking fame or fortune. Because in this realm, Qianlong represents orthodoxy, eliminating the Nine Headed Snake leaders is a national level task, it’s not something covert, it is indeed the most sacred task. Something infinitely sacred, immensely glorious, invaluable, and immeasurably meritorious, yet doing it covertly, what is the mentality? And who is he? The signature is even stranger, no name, no code, yet there is a ’Six-Eared Left Holder’. What does Six-Eared Left Holder represent? What is his intention? Even with extraordinary intelligence, with a mind that changes constantly, and despite being well-read, he could not find an answer. Perhaps he could find someone to ask. But who to ask? He had a few targets to ask, but the current task was not to be entangled with this... In the southeast, the late spring flowers abounded, especially under a huge manor beneath a mountain. This manor, once endlessly prosperous, today had only blossoms without the bustle because it was empty, and a seal was on the door. The vehicle landed within the manor, and a camera on the manor rotated half a turn, then stopped. Blue Demon and Lin Xiaosu exited the vehicle. Lin Xiaosu walked on the still clean and tidy bluestone path and entered the underground chamber. He stayed in the chamber for a long time. Blue Demon followed him all the time, watching his gaze change from indifferent to delighted... She had followed him to many places, witnessed many of his detective legends, but still could not understand the basic principles of his detection. Yes, time space reversal, how is there any reason that could explain it? Entering the manor, entering the chamber, as long as this Wang Zhongze was here two months ago, even if he turned into a fly, he wouldn’t escape Lin Xiaosu’s time space reversal. He saw it. Wang Zhongze was here a month ago! Even twenty days ago he was here! Thirteen days ago, he dragged out a robot from a basement chamber, then he was gone. Where did he go? Changed his appearance in place, transforming from a small domestic boss into a graceful Chinese expatriate in his forties. This expatriate had a suitcase with many passports inside. Identities all different. The vehicle pierced through the sky, and Lin Xiaosu registered two rooms in the Southern Province Capital City, Li Yang City. Currently, Blue Demon and he are like a sister and brother, so naturally, it wouldn’t be appropriate to share a room. By the time she woke up the next day, Lin Xiaosu had already gone. By sunset, he returned! "I’m slightly suspicious that you left me to cover your detective divine skills, but I have no evidence, maybe it’s just because I slept in..." Blue Demon said somewhat wistfully, pouring him tea. Lin Xiaosu laughed, "The process doesn’t matter, the result is what’s important." "The result? There’s a result?" Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, and a photo was sent to Blue Demon through the Dragon Eye: "This is his current identity, presently in the Middle East!" Blue Demon stared at the photo, frowned: "Visually compared, he... he has less than 80% resemblance to Wang Zhongze." "He’s wearing a mask with quite high technology. Not only his facial features changed significantly, even the eyes are different due to contact lenses." "Disguise Technique, even the eyes are disguised..." Blue Demon said, "This Chinese expatriate named Lewis, according to Dragon Eye’s data search, actually... he exists, not made up out of thin air." "That only shows he has planned far ahead, and established such an identity long ago." Blue Demon exhaled softly, "You are really certain, this Lewis is Wang Zhongze!" "You can doubt my character, but not my professionalism!" Blue Demon slowly lifted her gaze, "Next is verification, once verified successful, this photo of yours, its value... Are you going back to Fengcheng or Jiangcheng?" Lin Xiaosu was stunned, "Sister, you might as well say the value out loud." "If verified successfully, the reward won’t be little for you, at least... thirty thousand!" "Damn! I thought it was three million! How could you even say thirty thousand?" "I can’t stand you; you’re always fixated on money. How many wives do you have to support, exactly? Even if you do have many, it seems like each of them is quite capable of earning on their own and easy to support. Just take your nominal girlfriend in Jiangcheng, for instance—worth half a billion. Get her on board, and let her help you support the rest..." These words, not quite befitting a Heavenly King, flowed from her mouth, carrying an unknown meaning, as Blue Demon drove Lin Xiaosu back to Fengcheng. She didn’t mention the next step. Because she didn’t dare. In a foreign country, tracking someone who could blend into the crowd at any moment—he was the best choice. But Blue Demon had her own agenda. She had to admit that. She knew how much the position of "second on the Death List" was worth. It was a level that made global criminal organizations go on a slaughtering spree. He couldn’t easily go abroad! Her relaxed and cheeky words were actually a habit of hers—it was her habit to lighten up her words when her mind was in turmoil, to counterbalance the confusion and fear within. They were in deep waters now. Every step was nerve-wracking. As the Qianlong King, she had nothing to say, her mission was to fear nothing, but for him... This wasn’t his mission! She wanted to protect him, wanted to see his carefree smile at the next crossroads of life, to hear that infinitely charming "senior sister"... Lin Xiaosu quietly returned to being the mascot of the Detective Agency. Waking up late in the morning, sleeping early in the evening. Zhou Xi had daily appointments with Li Fang, and the two women had nothing to do in bed but to push the wildness of their words deeper. Until Li Fang, in the heat of a passionate topic, said to Zhou Xi: "Xi’er, you say Miao Ruolan treats you well, but do you really feel okay letting her bear the full brunt of a martial artist’s vigorous stamina alone every day? Haven’t you thought about helping her out?" Zhou Xi stared at her for two minutes! Li Fang felt her words might have been inappropriate, quickly explaining: "How about I help her? Maybe if she’s happy, she’ll even bring me into your Immortal Company?" "Oh my god, words fail me here!" Zhou Xi threw off the covers and burrowed under, not revealing even her head. Truth be told, no matter the corner of the world, where there’s a gap, the wind will blow. Lin Xiaosu in the outside world had winds of change sweeping around him. Even in Fengcheng, there was still wind blowing; perhaps from beside him, perhaps from under the covers, or perhaps from a woman’s eternally restless heart... Until May approached its peaceful end. The Detective Agency received another sum of money. This time, not as massive as before, 1 million! But Lin Xiaosu’s reaction was quite intense. He went to the rooftop and looked at the heavens... A million, others might not know what this meant, but he definitely did. Qianlong had already verified that the list he provided to them, Lewis, was indeed Wang Zhongze. Wang Zhongze was the former General Leader of the Nine Headed Snake in the Daxia District: Seven Steps. Since it was confirmed, the next step naturally was to take action. How would Qianlong act? Truthfully, it wouldn’t be easy. Overseas, it’s easy to kill someone. However, bringing someone back alive from overseas is a thousand times harder than killing. Especially when that person is someone whom the Nine Headed Snake’s dictionary absolutely does not allow to fall into Qianlong’s hands. At any time, killing is easier than protecting. Protecting someone requires comprehensive coverage; killing only requires breaking through one point. However, Lin Xiaosu wasn’t planning to get involved in this matter, nor was he needed to, since Qianlong had enough people and methods, and he wasn’t even a Qianlong member. He was able to give Qianlong an accurate coordinate in the sea of people, which was already a miracle. However, Blue Demon, upon receiving a message, was completely stunned... In the next moment, her vehicle soared through the skies, crossing the vast ocean, and arrived on an island. Without a care for the amazement it might cause, she appeared in Chang Ye’s small courtyard. She stormed into the inner room. Chang Ye was packing her things, her Dragon Armor contained various strange items, poisons, potions, even poisonous insects... Chang Ye turned around by the table, frowning slightly: "King Lantian, what brings you here?" Blue Demon stepped forward: "Are you going to the Middle East?" "Yes, the action directive has been issued; I’m leaving tonight." "No!" Blue Demon said. "I’ll immediately have them change the directive! This mission isn’t suitable for you." "It’s alright, my combat ability isn’t much weaker than yours now. Together with my poisons, my real combat power might not even be inferior to the Kings. Under complex battle scenarios, I’m the one who can be most effective," Chang Ye smiled. "Under typical circumstances, you indeed have an advantage, but is this typical?" Blue Demon’s face darkened. "If the news leaks and the Nine Headed Snake learns that Seven Steps is about to fall into Qianlong’s hands, they will stop at nothing to kill him! And kill you along the way!" "We can only gamble that the Nine Headed Snake Headquarters currently doesn’t know Seven Steps’ identity. Otherwise, even if the Heavenly King takes action, it wouldn’t be possible to bring him back!" Chang Ye said. "In fact, I’m the most suitable to go; your King’s presence in the Middle East would arouse suspicion and really stir things up, drawing the enemy’s focus onto Seven Steps." "There are exceptions to everything; acting recklessly with the hope that the enemy is unaware is the most foolish thing!" Blue Demon said. "No matter what, you can’t go on this operation. I’m contacting the ’Old Man’ right now!" She was about to activate the Dragon Eye. Chang Ye reached out and grabbed her: "Sister Lan!" At those two words, Blue Demon halted all actions because this was the first time Chang Ye had called her "Sister Lan."
