Chapter 856 Casting the Net!
Now, Boss Zhou has improved a lot compared to before. He used to be unable to distinguish between "ghosts" or "demons" when they were right in front of him.
But now, his eyes are still quite sharp.
However, spotting the deliberately hidden Feng Si among a group of constables is a different level of difficulty, like finding a unique goldfish in a pond.
Moreover, since the surroundings are all filled with a "ghastly aura," people's sensitivity will naturally decrease.
However, this surprise was a bit too big. The forty-year-old woman who had been sitting across from him earlier was actually Feng Si?
What is he doing here disguised as a constable?
The woman looked at the shorty, and instantly, her entire demeanor changed.
She said:
"Do I need to report to you about my people?"
It really is Feng Si!
"How dare I, I was just curious, when you were sitting there earlier, Fourth Master, why didn't you..."
"Bang!"
Feng Si kicked out.
Sending the shorty flying, crashing into the wall,
The shorty's body slowly slid down the wall,
Cracks had already appeared in the wall behind him.
"Did I ask you to be so talkative?"
"No, no."
The shorty spread out his hands, even wearing a somewhat ingratiating expression, and turned to leave.
"Ding!"
The elevator arrived, and the doors opened.
Feng Si entered first, and Zhou Ze followed.
As the elevator descended,
Feng Si spoke first: "This time, the Enforcers came up, and I was sent by the Yin Court to be in charge of supervision. Because there might be ghost officers or constables in the Yang world who are connected to the defectors, I chose to hide as a constable to see if I could catch a fish."
Catch a fish?
Boss Zhou's brow suddenly twitched.
"Oh."
Zhou Ze responded,
And then asked:
"Do you really like, using a woman's body?"
Last time, Feng Si used the body of an old woman, implying it was to "apologize" for what happened in Yeren Mountain.
But this time…
Sure enough,
There are only zero or infinite times when it comes to cross-dressing.
Feng Si smiled, "It's just an accident, this body wasn't found in a morgue, it's a somewhat old female corpse that was buried in a *sha* (inauspicious) location and didn't rot."
Last time in Lijiang, when facing the Bald Monk's rampage, Feng Si suffered enough from the body's disadvantages. Spells were useless, or they were limited by the body and difficult to fully unleash, and in the end, he had to retreat back to Hell in a sorry state.
So this time, when he came up, he deliberately chose a better body, so that he could unleash his strength more easily.
"I didn't think you'd come," Feng Si said. "Actually, if you hadn't come, there wouldn't have been much of a problem."
"I received the notice, so I came to take a look."
"My intuition tells me that things aren't that simple."
"I just killed three Enforcers."
Feng Si didn't seem too surprised, only remaining silent for a few seconds,
Then said:
"Oh, you stole someone else's things, and then came to their house to watch them frantically search for those things, isn't that quite interesting?"
"Not bad."
Inside the elevator,
Zhou Ze stood a little ahead,
Feng Si stood half a step behind Zhou Ze,
Seemingly a small detail,
But it contained too many complex factors.
It could also be considered an indirect expression of Feng Si's attitude towards Zhou Ze.
Fortunately, Feng Si still had some face,
Moreover, his situation and position were now completely different from Lawyer An's, so his way of handling things would naturally be different.
He had to be subtle and reserved, but he couldn't be too pretentious or put on airs, otherwise it would backfire.
From beginning to end, in a simple conversation, Zhou Ze bluntly told Feng Si that he had killed the Enforcers, and Feng Si seemed very calm.
There were no boring lines like "Will you report me?" or "Should I report you?"
This wasn't their first meeting,
And Lawyer An had also played a part in connecting them. They couldn't be said to know each other inside and out, but at least they had some understanding of each other.
Sometimes, even Zhou Ze had to admit that dealing with people like An Buqi and Feng Si was much more comfortable than dealing with upright people like Lao Zhang Tou and Geng Chen.
Zhou Ze wasn't worried that Feng Si would report him,
Feng Si knew a lot of Zhou Ze's secrets, although he didn't know how much Lawyer An had revealed to him. But if Feng Si wanted to report him, he would have done it long ago, and wouldn't have waited until today.
Moreover, the Enforcers were just mad dogs that the Yin Court had just unleashed, a group of mad dogs that seemed glamorous but had no future. Feng Si wouldn't sell out the Late Night Bookstore for them.
Of course,
The most important point,
Was still,
Feng Si vaguely understood,
That despite the fact that the bookstore owner in front of him had honestly come to the meeting, had honestly bowed to the Mountain Eagle of the Enforcers, and had honestly come to have an honest conversation,
If he really pissed off this boss,
And he went crazy,
In this hotel,
All the ghost officers, constables, and Enforcers, even including Feng Si himself,
Would probably all be dead.
The other reasons were secondary, that last one was fundamental!
The elevator didn't go to the first floor, but stopped on the second floor first. The second floor was a gym.
"There's no need to rush down. Since Quail already knows that you're one of mine, it's normal for you to spend more time with me."
"I'm afraid they'll misunderstand."
"Misunderstand wha…………"
Feng Si understood the implication, smiled, and shook his head,
Saying:
"Misunderstand if they misunderstand. Anyway, my reputation isn't great in the Yin Court, so I don't mind having another one. It's just making you suffer, having to be my male concubine, wouldn't that be my honor?"
Zhou Ze took out a cigarette and handed one to Feng Si, then lit one for himself.
The two stood in the corridor at the entrance of the gym, not going inside.
"Quail? That shorty?"
"Yes, don't underestimate that shorty, his eyes are very sharp."
"How did he get that name?"
"It's said that they got nicknames when they were imprisoned. The Enforcers don't have surnames."
"Oh, then he must be crazy from being locked up."
"He really is crazy. If I wasn't watching over this branch of theirs, who knows what they might do."
That's right,
Zhou Ze thought of the three Enforcers in Tongcheng,
You could say they represented justice,
But what about the three girls who were killed and had their blood essence devoured by them?
"By the way, in the future, when you encounter this kind of occasion again, you shouldn't bring An Buqi's things with you.
Maybe you don't care, but since you're participating in this kind of occasion, I don't think you want to cause too much trouble."
Feng Si felt that he was being polite enough and very tactful.
Zhou Ze reached into his pocket, took out the deck of cards, and threw it away casually, deeply agreeing:
"I felt it."
For ordinary ghost officers or constables, going out and saying that they had an Inspector as their backer would definitely be a very impressive thing, like a village chief standing at the village entrance and telling the villagers that his backer was in the city.
But Boss Zhou was sure,
If any ordinary ghost officer or constable dared to shout a few times that their backer was An Buqi,
They probably wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.
"Actually, my reputation is even worse than An Buqi's," Feng Si suddenly mocked himself. "I have an extra charge of betraying my master."
When Lawyer An was doing bad things and scheming against people,
There was always a subordinate named Feng Si helping him out,
Then An Buqi participated in high-level power struggles,
And Feng Si exposed him.
To a certain extent, Feng Si did betray his benefactor.
But the relationship between these two was a bit complicated, it didn't seem like a life-and-death feud.
Of course, Feng Si said it that way, but in reality, it depended on his position.
If An Buqi was still the An Buqi of the past, he definitely wouldn't be as reviled as he was now. Feng Si was even worse than An Buqi, but because he was still in a position of power, it wasn't a big deal.
Just like when Iron Dun was still the master of the Nether Sea, who did he care about?
If you were unhappy,
You just had to suck it up.
But now,
He had to be careful even when he wanted to eat a piece of pork.
"Who are they looking for?" Zhou Ze asked.
Feng Si smiled, "Maybe there was a problem with the information transfer. They don't know who the real culprit is. There are two defectors in Yangzhou now, but their target seems to be more focused on one person, Geng Chen."
"Hmm?"
"I know him, he wouldn't be a defector. If he was, there must be a reason or difficulty. But the Enforcers are wholeheartedly trying to execute him this time, which makes me very strange. I once suspected that he might be the one who has been transmitting coordinates to the Yin Court."
Back then,
Geng Chen's wife and daughter's souls were scattered by Feng Si, so he was clear about Geng Chen's character.
You can't say that all the people standing opposite An Buqi and Feng Si in the past were good people and there were no bad people, but it was certain that the good people were all standing on the opposite side.
"This, it's a long story."
Zhou Ze didn't bother to explain the ins and outs of how Geng Chen had taken the blame for him.
"Mountain Eagle and the others are just the first branch. There's another branch of Enforcers on the way. When the time comes, they have the ability to search for people. The reason why they deployed the constables and ghost officers is to weave a net, and then they'll find a way to make the fish in the net move on their own."
"Oh, so that's what's going on," Zhou Ze understood, and then continued to ask: "I just saw that shorty, he was very respectful to you?"
Wasn't it said that the mad dogs of the Enforcers didn't even care about Inspectors?
Feng Si nodded, saying:
"When this mission is over, I might have a chance to compete for the position of Judge when I go back."
So, the shorty was respectful not to the Inspector, but to the… Judge.
"Congratulations, I think An Buqi will definitely be very unhappy to hear this news."
"Heh, if it wasn't for that woman back then, he would have been a Judge long ago."
"Did Cui Hua come too?"
"I didn't bring her up this time, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, I just thought Cui Hua was next door cooking sauerkraut."
