This matter was actually not that difficult to resolve. It was still possible to rely on the strength of ordinary people to conduct part of the investigation. It was just that people could not easily approach that man, which was why Ye Tiancheng had given the bodyguards such orders.
Ye Tiancheng explained to the little fox, "Actually, situations like this are relatively easy to solve. The problem is not very big."
"Because this man, since he is a living person and judging by his appearance, he clearly has a social status. As long as he has a social status, he cannot possibly leave no trace."
At this point, the little fox could naturally understand.
The little fox said, "Oh, I see. Even if we can't investigate him directly, he has a social status. Moreover, if the fragments of the Fuxi Qin are in his hands, it means he is often active in Lan City. We have also seen his appearance, so we can understand his true identity without having to interact with him, and thus investigate some things."
"Even if the information is not comprehensive, knowing his true identity will be of some help to our investigation."
Ye Tiancheng nodded slightly, indicating that this was his meaning. For a man like this, it was not the most difficult to investigate. As long as they knew where he was often active and what he looked like, then they could investigate his general experiences from childhood to adulthood in many ways without even contacting him.
Meanwhile, in a car where the bodyguards had lost track of the man, the man in the passenger seat raised his hand and touched the communicator he wore on his ear, "Report to the captain, we've lost him again. The trail of the suspect has been lost."
Afterward, he roughly described the situation and the location where they lost him. After receiving a reply from the other side, he then reported another piece of information.
"Captain, there's a new discovery. The suspect seems to be targeted by others. Currently, the origin and purpose of this group are unknown."
"Their tracking abilities are superior to ours. We lost him once in the middle, but they seemed to have discovered us. When we met again, they intentionally guided us to follow, which is why we were able to follow for a longer distance before losing the suspect's trail."
It seemed that they could only wait for the next opportunity to find the man and investigate and track him. There was also the new group that had appeared. They could also be contacted. Since they possessed such abilities, if these people were not problematic, they might be able to help them quite a bit.
As for those bodyguards, they had indeed deliberately guided them. It was clear that they knew that letting these people follow would be beneficial for their investigation into the man's identity. Moreover, the bodyguards were not afraid of being investigated, as they had not done anything illegal or against the rules.
Furthermore, the bodyguards could also realize that the man might have more serious problems if he was being tracked by these people. If the bodyguards needed to continue their investigation, they could not fail to appear before these people.
However, the bodyguards needed to confirm this matter and ensure their judgment was not mistaken before reporting to Ye Tiancheng and Hou Mingzhu.
The bodyguards then took action and notified Hou Mingzhu in advance, because some aspects of the operation still required Hou Mingzhu's involvement. They needed to borrow the influence of the Hou family, and this did not conflict with the priority of the orders given by Hou Mingzhu and Ye Tiancheng.
So, not long after, Ye Tiancheng received news from the bodyguards that the man might be involved in a case, and even more coincidentally, something happened.
The news that Ye Tiancheng had seen that day, which had been investigated for a long time, turned out to be so coincidental. After the investigation, the suspect was locked onto that man.
It was a pity that the man was particularly difficult to deal with and hard to obtain concrete evidence from. For now, they could only secretly track and investigate the man.
The bodyguards asked Ye Tiancheng if they should agree to the request for cooperation from the investigators. Ye Tiancheng thought that since they were already investigating, they probably had a lot of information. If they could cooperate with them, it would be a good thing. It was better to bring such dangerous individuals to justice as soon as possible.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng agreed to the matter, asking the bodyguards to assist the investigators and reminding them not to track the man at close range.
Ye Tiancheng stated that the man's situation was special. If the investigators were willing to believe him, they should minimize close contact with the man to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, as he was not someone ordinary people could deal with.
Ye Tiancheng would follow up and install a dashcam in the car to track the man's whereabouts, transmitting information in real-time to assist the investigation.
The goals of the two parties did not conflict. Since the man might be involved in a case, and he had visited the place where Ye Tiancheng and the others were temporarily staying, if this man was not dealt with quickly, Ye Tiancheng would not be able to sleep soundly. Who knew what his intentions were in visiting, and whether he had targeted Ye Tiancheng's relatives and friends next.
Ye Tiancheng and the investigators had the same goal: to bring the man to justice. However, Ye Tiancheng had an additional goal: to obtain the Fuxi Qin fragments.
Thinking of this, Ye Tiancheng was still uneasy. After ending the call with the bodyguards, Ye Tiancheng called Hou Mingzhu.
The phone rang twice, and Hou Mingzhu quickly answered.
"Hello, Tiancheng? You're calling again, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
This was because Ye Tiancheng had already called Hou Mingzhu several times before, such as strengthening security, arranging the bodyguards' actions, and even discussing the cooperation between the bodyguards and others not long ago.
Ye Tiancheng said to Hou Mingzhu, "I've thought of some new things, and I'm a little uneasy. I didn't expect that the situation this time would be so dangerous. Since the man is involved in a case and cannot be easily caught, such an unpredictable person is really too dangerous."
"In the future, when you go out, you should bring as many people with you as possible. It's fine to have a grander presence, don't be afraid of being exaggerated, prioritize safety."
Hou Mingzhu understood Ye Tiancheng's meaning and agreed, "Of course. I've already made arrangements. If you're still not at ease, I can have more people strengthen the security."
Ye Tiancheng responded, "Yes, strengthen it as much as possible to maximize everyone's safety."
Ye Tiancheng paused for a moment before saying to Hou Mingzhu, "Also, our daughter, Qingcheng, please comfort her. During this time in Lan City, try not to let her go out. It's best if she doesn't go out at all. We can only inconvenience Qingcheng a little. Nothing is more important than her safety."
Hou Mingzhu knew that these words were out of concern. Although it was certainly uncomfortable for a person to be confined at home all the time, the situation was special now, and there was no other way.
"This is fine. It's for Qingcheng's own good. Our daughter is an understanding child. When she was at home before, she often couldn't go out. It's just a short period of inconvenience, and Qingcheng will surely understand." Hou Mingzhu comforted Ye Tiancheng, telling him not to feel too guilty.
Because encountering such a situation was not something Ye Tiancheng wanted, he could not be blamed.
Ye Tiancheng sighed, "I'm sorry to trouble you as well. Please try to reduce your travel schedule during this period. No one can imagine what people with those mysterious abilities can do."
"I'm afraid I can't protect you. I will finish this as soon as possible, and it will be fine soon."
Hou Mingzhu smiled. She knew that Ye Tiancheng was under a lot of psychological pressure, so she didn't want to add to it. "I believe in you very much. You've always kept your promises when you commit to something."
"Compared to before, you've become much more responsible now, and you're also very capable, so you will definitely be able to do what you say."
"We said we wouldn't hold you back, and we absolutely won't. Don't worry about us, just focus on your work. Tell us if there's anything, and we'll cooperate with you wholeheartedly. Don't worry."
It was impossible not to worry, but Ye Tiancheng still breathed a sigh of relief. "Mingzhu, thank you."
Hou Mingzhu said, "What kind of relationship do we have? There's no need to thank me. This is what I should do. I said I would support you, and I will definitely do it."
After discussing the situation with Hou Mingzhu and confirming that the house would be turned into an impenetrable fortress for protection, Ye Tiancheng felt slightly more at ease.
However, Ye Tiancheng was still somewhat restless. "Little Stone, let's set up some formations in our house. If any accidents occur, they might be useful."
Ye Tiancheng's anxiety was evident. After all, this time, his family's safety was also threatened. Ye Tiancheng was naturally restless. The Nuwa Stone agreed, saying, "Of course. With the protection of formations, they will be much safer. Let me think about what kind of formation would be more comprehensive."
Ye Tiancheng nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Little Stone."
The Nuwa Stone said nonchalantly, "It's no trouble, it's a small matter."
When Ye Tiancheng and the little fox returned home, Ye Qingcheng was in class. Fatty came to Ye Tiancheng's house to sit, as he was also waiting for Ye Tiancheng.
Because of this incident, Ye Tiancheng had already informed Fatty. To be precise, the little fox had informed him. Fatty, upon hearing about it, naturally paid close attention to the situation.
Ye Tiancheng roughly explained the known sequence of events to Fatty. After listening, Fatty expressed his desire to go with Ye Tiancheng for future investigations. Ye Tiancheng thought about it and did not refuse.
Fatty could also be of great help, and having one more person was like having more strength. However, Ye Tiancheng also stated that it would depend on the situation, as someone needed to stay at home. Fatty knew the seriousness of the matter and naturally accepted it, as it involved not only Ye Tiancheng's family but also his own.
Thinking of Shao Ying, Fatty's concerns increased. He was no longer alone now.
Around evening, Ye Tiancheng received news from the bodyguards. They had assisted in the investigation and obtained some information regarding the man's real identity.
The man was an elementary school teacher with an excellent reputation outside, very popular. He was handsome, gentle, and soft-spoken, a very warm person with strong affinity. Everyone liked him, whether at school or in daily life, and no one would have thought that he could be a bad person.
This person practically validated the lessons that bad people do not have the words "bad person" written on their faces, that one cannot judge a book by its cover, and that knowing someone's face but not their heart is a mistake.
If it weren't for too many coincidences that led the investigators to notice this man inadvertently, no one would have suddenly suspected that such a person would be involved in the current case. As the investigation deepened, the man's suspicion grew, and he finally came into view.
