"I wonder what the second matter is that you're talking about, Detective Chen?"

Zhu Si Hai's eyes were fixed on Chen Yuan.

If it was another difficult task, Zhu Si Hai would definitely refuse.

"The second matter is simple. I need you to help me investigate something..." Chen Yuan's eyes flickered with a strange light.

"What is it?"

Hearing that it was an investigation, Zhu Si Hai slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it didn't involve money.

"Check how many people have died or gone missing in the northern part of the city in the past two years..." Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

Zhu Si Hai frowned:

"Wouldn't it be better for the yamen to investigate these things?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Just help me investigate."

If it was so easy to access the yamen's household records, Chen Yuan wouldn't have asked the Si Hai Gang to investigate first. The County Clerk is in charge of these duties within the yamen.

And the County Clerk is Wu Qingfeng's confidant. How could he let him browse the records so easily?

Besides, Chen Yuan and Zhao Shu Ping had already developed some animosity because of the Three Harmony Fist Hall incident. Chen Yuan wouldn't go looking for trouble now.

It might even stir up a hornet's nest.

In fact, after the Liu family massacre, Chen Yuan had already had some vague guesses in his mind, but he hadn't had time to seriously investigate. In addition to Zhao Nan Shan and the guidance of the Qi Luck Altar.

Chen Yuan felt that perhaps the Wu Sheng Sect had been secretly killing people, but very secretly, without anyone knowing.

When Chen Yuan fought Chen Ping An before, he obtained some information from him. The Wu Sheng Sect didn't escape from the prefectural city as Li Mingqi said, but had always been rooted in Ping An County.

Cien Temple may be where those Wu Sheng Sect bandits are hiding.

Of course, everything is still just Chen Yuan's guess, without any evidence.

Li Mingqi would not turn against Cien Temple based on Chen Yuan's groundless guess.

There are Ning Gang experts stationed in the temple!

"Okay, Lord Chen's order, I, Lao Zhu, will definitely instruct my subordinates to do it seriously."

...

...

The next day, the county yamen.

"How is it?"

Chen Yuan looked at Wang Ping and asked.

From yesterday to now, Wang Ping traveled on small roads at full speed, only taking a short time to make a round trip.

If it were a carriage, it would take at least twice as long.

"The Liu family head personally met me. After receiving the letter, he didn't say anything. I then asked to leave..." Wang Ping replied truthfully.

Chen Yuan nodded with flickering eyes:

"It doesn't matter, you've worked hard on this trip."

"Serving Brother Yuan, it's not hard..." Wang Ping smiled honestly.

Brother Yuan's status is so high now and he's still willing to support him. To be honest, Wang Ping is very grateful in his heart, but his own strength is indeed a bit low, and he can only help Brother Yuan with errands like these.

"This is the reward money from before, take it, and don't go giving it to the girls at Yan Yu Tower again..." Chen Yuan threw a small cloth bag to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping reached out and weighed it, and his face lit up with joy. There were at least ten taels of silver inside!

As a young yamen runner, he could get so much. Without asking, it must be Brother Yuan taking care of him.

"It's only right for older brothers to earn money for younger brothers to spend, and for older sisters to earn money for younger sisters to spend." Wang Ping joked.

"You have a lot of crooked logic."

Chen Yuan smiled.

However, a life like Wang Ping's, without any great pursuits, just wanting to live a stable life is not bad. Everyone has their own pursuits.

Chen Yuan wouldn't force Wang Ping to cultivate.

His talent is indeed quite ordinary. Perhaps his limit in this life is Blood Refinement, at most reaching the Bone Refinement level. He can make a decent living in the county.

"Brother Yuan, you just went through a battle, why not relax a bit?"

"A true man living between heaven and earth, how can he..."

"Just listen to some music to relax."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, then stood up and said:

"Alright, I'll go with you to take a look."

After listening to Wang Ping nag about how beautiful Xiao Yue is so many times, Chen Yuan himself was a little curious. Could she really be more beautiful than the beauties in his previous life's hard drive?

Chen Yuan didn't want to be burdened by any women, but he couldn't possibly become a eunuch.

Moreover, his body was no longer a virgin long ago.

Of course, most importantly, he had heard this name so many times that Chen Yuan suspected that this Xiao Yue girl might have Qi Luck.

He had previously guessed that people with Qi Luck would meet him through various coincidences.

"This is the Brother Yuan I know..." Wang Ping muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, I just said that Xiao Yue is indeed very beautiful, maybe Brother Yuan, you'll find her pleasing to the eye."

Chen Yuan shook his head:

"I don't like walking on paths that too many people have walked."

"What path?" Wang Ping was stunned.

...

South of the city,

Yan Yu Tower.

This was Chen Yuan's first time here since he transmigrated. He had to say, compared to other brothels, it was much quieter. There were no women upstairs shouting to solicit customers.

It was a relatively high-end place.

Of course, the corresponding expenses were also much higher.

Don't look at Wang Ping muttering about Xiao Yue, in reality, he had only been here once. He couldn't afford it.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

Chen Yuan and Wang Ping had just arrived at the entrance of Yan Yu Tower when Wang Ping suddenly called out.

Chen Yuan sized him up and down, and it was indeed Wang Ping's father, Wang Dafu.

"I... cough, I have something to do."

Wang Dafu subconsciously touched his nose.

"Uncle Wang."

Chen Yuan greeted him.

"It's Detective Chen..."

Subconsciously, Wang Dafu wanted to call him Chen Xiaozi, but thinking that Chen Yuan was no longer the same as before, and had been promoted to detective, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Not to mention his current status, his son was under his command. How could he not be respectful?

Although Wang Ping said that Chen Yuan hadn't changed, Wang Dafu, who had been doing business for many years, knew that he couldn't just believe what others said, or he wouldn't know how he died.

He had already instructed Wang Ping several times on this point.

"Uncle Wang, there's no need to be so polite, we're all family."

Chen Yuan smiled.

"What are you guys doing here?" Wang Dafu's eyes flickered.

"Dad, didn't you say the girls at Yan Yu Tower are good? I brought Brother Yuan to take a look..." Wang Ping interjected.

Wang Dafu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said in a low voice:

"They are good, you go, I'll go back first."

"Why are you going back so early? Dad, you didn't not go home last night, did you?"

"I did, I did, I just left something here. Alright, I'm leaving."

Wang Dafu waved his hand and turned to leave quickly.

"Uncle Wang is still full of vigor." Chen Yuan smiled. The Wang family and his son were a bit like a father and son fighting side by side.

"Forget it, forget it, Brother Yuan, let's go in..."

Wang Ping said, and stepped into Yan Yu Tower.

As soon as Chen Yuan entered, he was greeted by the sound of a flute, the sound was melodious, completely different from other places of entertainment.

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"As expected of a brothel woman, she's very skilled at 'playing the flute'."
