Chapter 38: Investigation
"I don't enjoy trimming my mustache, because it's troublesome, but for elegance, it's a necessary price to pay." Li Dongze smiled, scrutinizing him, and said:
"It seems you passed the screening of the Taiyi Sect."
As expected, the Squad Leader knew the purpose of the Taiyi Sect finding me, but he didn't give me any hints beforehand. You'll lose me like this… Zhang Yuanqing said casually:
"Does the Squad Leader also know about the Devil Lord?"
"Official organizations, evil organizations, civilian organizations, and wild rogue cultivators—the number of high-level The Way of the Extraordinary members who died at the hands of the Devil Lord exceeds the fingers on both hands. His fierce reputation precedes him, so of course I know." Li Dongze said, while focusing on trimming his mustache:
"However, such big shots are too far removed from us. Elephants might accidentally crush ants, but they would never deliberately step on them."
The Devil Lord isn't a good person. How is Brother Bing connected to such a guy? Zhang Yuanqing took the opportunity to say:
"Squad Leader, please trouble you to inquire with Jiangnan Province about the progress of Lei Yibing's case. Also, help me investigate Lei Yibing's activities and relationships during his university years, the more detailed the better."
Before, because he was still a novice, lacking ability and experience, Zhang Yuanqing harbored the illusion of a "long-term task" regarding Brother Bing's disappearance.
But now that he knew the truth about the Devil Lord's role card, he had to redefine Brother Bing's disappearance.
Why did Brother Bing disappear? Is he dead or alive? What was the reason for giving him the Devil Lord role card?
The truth behind this is shrouded in layers of mist. It concerns Brother Bing and himself, so even if his strength is low now, he has to try to explore and investigate.
Brother Bing only sent him the role card and didn't reveal any information, which is understandable. Sometimes, it's not that he doesn't want to talk, but others can't pry open his mouth.
Today's questioning is an example.
Brother Bing probably didn't say anything for his sake, but he would definitely leave corresponding clues, guiding him step by step to explore and unravel the truth. Therefore, Zhang Yuanqing needed as much information about Brother Bing as possible.
Li Dongze pondered and nodded: "Okay, I'll call and ask my colleagues over there, but it will take time."
In his opinion, it was only natural for Yuanshi to care about the safety of his childhood friend. But Li Dongze thought that as a The Way of the Extraordinary member who had been in the spirit realm for a week, he was probably dead inside.
After talking about Brother Bing's matter, Zhang Yuanqing finally cut to the main topic, his expression serious:
"Squad Leader, I have something to report."
Seeing his subordinate being so serious, Li Dongze put down the razor, closed the makeup mirror, and straightened his back slightly, saying:
"What is it?"
Zhang Yuanqing immediately told Li Dongze in detail about the haunting of his aunt's hospital and how he inadvertently brought the Infant Spirit home, but he concealed and modified the information about the Spirit Servant.
He described the Infant Spirit as a kind of dull spirit that had been refined but had not been promoted to a Spirit Servant.
When saying this, Zhang Yuanqing calmed his emotions, making his expression and tone flawless, to avoid being detected by the Scout.
Finally, he concluded: "I suspect that a The Way of the Extraordinary member is conducting Spirit Servant refining experiments in the hospital, most likely a Night Wanderer. But I don't know if they are wild or official."
Li Dongze's expression worsened as he listened, and he couldn't help but grip his cane, angrily saying:
"Oh, God, this is a guy who should go to hell. I will make him pay for his actions, I swear."
The concepts of devouring spirits and enslaving spirits are different. Spirits will always dissipate, inevitably. Devouring is just making this phenomenon happen sooner.
And refining spirits into Spirit Servants and driving them is against humanity, especially an Infant Spirit.
It is also out of humanitarianism that it is forbidden to use ordinary people's spirits to refine Spirit Servants. To put it bluntly, if your family and friends are special spirits and are refined into Spirit Servants after death, how would you feel?
I thought you would say, I really want to kick his butt hard with my boots… Zhang Yuanqing complained about the Squad Leader's catchphrase in his heart.
"Squad Leader, I have already reincarnated that child, and I have read the target person from its memory. I want to apply to carry out the task alone to train myself." Zhang Yuanqing put forward his opinion.
As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that Li Dongze would definitely disagree.
Li Dongze shook his head as expected:
"Your idea is very good, but in the process of accumulating experience, it is inevitable to step on pitfalls, and among the The Way of the Extraordinary members, one mistake may be death. Well, let Guan Ya go with you. Her physical skills and shooting are better than mine."
"Okay, Squad Leader." Zhang Yuanqing was secretly delighted.
He must get the leadership of the Infant Spirit case to cover up the existence of Little Silly, but as Li Dongze said, The Way of the Extraordinary events must be cautious and careful. The cost of negligence is often death. Ou Xiangrong is an example.
So, he needs an experienced helper.
When he suggested that he wanted to gain experience, Li Dongze would most likely give up going out himself and let Guan Ya accompany him as a compromise.
Because everyone knows that as a Night Wanderer, with rule-type props, Zhang Yuanqing has a high fault tolerance rate, and ordinary dangers can't trouble him.
In Zhang Yuanqing's view, Guan Ya is much "easier to fool" than Li Dongze.
"Then I'll go find Guan Ya now?"
Li Dongze "hmm"ed, and suddenly ridiculed: "You sing well, don't sing again next time."
"......"
..........
Kangyang District, Pingtai Hospital.
As a top-notch hospital, Pingtai's main brand is obstetrics and gynecology, with several authoritative experts in this field sitting in town, ranking among the top five obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in the country.
A black commercial vehicle drove into the hospital, the door slid open automatically, Guan Ya scrutinized Zhang Yuanqing's dull face, and asked with concern: "Have you had any double images on your phone or computer screen recently?"
"Why do you ask?" Zhang Yuanqing, who was thinking about how to find the target, retracted his thoughts.
Guan Ya raised her delicate corners of her mouth, blinking her watery eyes: "Your expression tells me that you haven't been restrained recently."
Zhang Yuanqing was used to her language style, ignored her, and said:
"The Squad Leader asked me to cooperate with you. In this situation, what do we usually do first?"
Guan Ya put away her smile, and said seriously:
"First, lock down the target person, and then investigate his identity in reality. You have seen his appearance, so it is not difficult to lock down the target. Then contact him. If the other party is not strong, control him directly. Otherwise, notify the Squad Leader for violent arrest.
"But we are not sure if there are accomplices in the hospital, or the scale of the Spirit Servant refining, so it is best to stand still first and do a background check on Pingtai Hospital.
"You can start with the rumors of haunting, when it started, determine the approximate time range, in addition to the Infant Spirit, are there any other haunting rumors.
"Check the records of abortions and miscarriages during that period, male infants, and not small months, there will not be too many such groups, and it is not difficult to lock down the identity of the Infant Spirit.
"Infants have extremely weak mental strength, and once they die prematurely, they will dissipate quickly, so the personnel who have been in contact with pregnant women during that period are all our screening objects.
"Among these people, if there is a target you saw with spirit vision, then carry out the arrest. If not, it means there are accomplices."
Her thinking is so clear, is this a Scout... Zhang Yuanqing was stunned when he heard it, and said: "My aunt is in the hospital, it is not convenient for me to go to obstetrics and gynecology, why don't we split up, I will check the content related to spirits, and you go to obstetrics and gynecology to check the bottom."
The two got out of the car, put on masks and baseball caps, and acted separately outside the outpatient building.
Entering the building, taking the elevator to the fourth floor, Guan Ya glanced over the women with slightly bulging abdomens or big bellies, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
A female doctor in a white coat walked towards her. Her round, oval face was fair and delicate, her eyes were big and bright, her nose was straight, and her wavy hair was draped on her back.
She was holding a piece of candy in her mouth, her cheeks were slightly bulging, which made her look even more sweet and cute.
Guan Ya held her own beauty, but when she saw this plain-faced female doctor, she still admired her.
She quickly greeted her, stood in front of the female doctor, and said with a smile: "Doctor, I am planning to get pregnant recently, and I don't know what to pay attention to."
.........
On the other side, Zhang Yuanqing came to a quiet corridor and summoned Little Silly.
"Aba Aba..."
The round, lovely, and sparsely haired baby was lying on the ground, his big, dark eyes looking at Zhang Yuanqing, pure and innocent.
Zhang Yuanqing conveyed to it the thoughts of "free activity" and "go play".
He planned to use Little Silly to lure the snake out of its hole. If a precious Spirit Servant is lost, the person behind it will definitely look for it. When he finds that the Infant Spirit reappears in the hospital, he will definitely be attracted.
To take a step back, even if the plan to lure the snake out of its hole fails, Little Silly can also take him to the person behind it. It will have an impression of the guy who refined it, and even be naturally close to him.
With Zhang Yuanqing's permission, Little Silly happily moved its limbs and crawled up the corridor.
Zhang Yuanqing followed it all the way to the fourth floor, opened the door of the corridor, entered the waiting hall, and then followed it all the way to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Is that guy really in the obstetrics and gynecology department?
As Zhang Yuanqing was thinking, he heard a silvery laughter: "Really, really, you also like that brand of skin care products? I often go abroad, and I'll help you bring some back later."
This is Guan Ya's voice.
Looking in the direction of the voice, the woman was chatting and laughing with a female doctor, chattering non-stop.
The female doctor in the white coat was his aunt.
Damn it! Zhang Yuanqing lowered his hat as much as possible, trying to move his gaze down, not to look at his aunt, to avoid eye contact.
Although he was wearing a mask and hat, with his aunt's familiarity with him, and the familiarity between the two, she could recognize him just by looking at his eyes.
At this time, he saw Little Silly crawling happily towards his aunt.
