Looking at Zheng Qiang throwing up here,

Lawyer An was disdainful.

You must have thrown up a lot before when you didn't have Bian Hua Oral Solution with your meals,

How could your resistance have declined so much after only a short period of good times?

"Should we bring the head down?"

Liu Chuyu, on top of the pavilion, asked.

Lawyer An shook his head, "Forget it, come down. Let's pack up."

The three ghost messengers didn't quite understand. Although they followed Lawyer An back into the car, they didn't know why they were leaving now.

Now that the body had been found, shouldn't they continue to investigate the murderer?

Lawyer An sat in the passenger seat, reached out and tapped the steering wheel next to him, and said to Zheng Qiang:

"Drive."

"Ah, where to?"

"Back to the bookstore."

"Oh, okay."

The car started and left the exquisite courtyard in the countryside of Rugao.

Lawyer An lit a cigarette, his brow furrowing and relaxing alternately.

Yueya couldn't help but lean forward a little and asked:

"Brother An, are we just leaving like this?"

"Yeah, or what, do you want to uphold justice?"

Lawyer An retorted.

"No..."

Yueya was really a little confused, "Then what did we come here for?"

"To see if a human killed him, or someone from the underworld killed him."

"What if a human killed him?"

"Then call 110 (the Chinese emergency services number)."

"Uh..." Yueya, Zheng Qiang, and Liu Chuyu.

"What if a ghost killed him?"

"Then we can't call 110. It's impossible to tell the police, 'Report, I found a ghost who killed someone here.'"

"This..."

"Heh, these are turbulent times. Before the situation stabilizes, let's not create unnecessary trouble. As long as the murderer who killed this guy doesn't have any hostility towards our bookstore, why should we provoke him?

Regardless of whether the other party is strong or weak, our boss hates trouble the most, with the exception of Lao Zhang.

Anyone who keeps bringing him trouble will be dealt with.”

Lawyer An rubbed his brow.

In fact,

he wasn't as calm as he looked on the surface.

He had worked in the underworld, and back then he was at least a glorious, top-notch inspector, so he knew much more about the secrets of the underworld than these three ghost messengers.

But sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing.

When the car drove back to the bookstore, it was almost late at night. After getting out of the car, Lawyer An didn't see the boss on the first floor, so he went straight to the vegetable garden next door.

Xu Qinglang was still here. In front of Xu Qinglang were five paper figures, and they seemed to be drawing talismans.

Geng Chen was wrapped in the Bawang Hua (Queen of the Night cactus), but his eyes were fixed on Xu Qinglang's fingers.

At the moment the door opened, Lawyer An clearly caught a glimpse of admiration in Geng Chen's eyes.

Heh,

you're tempted, aren't you?

However, after Lawyer An came in, Geng Chen immediately returned to his calm, emotionless state.

Lawyer An walked up to Geng Chen without saying a word.

"Ask what you want to ask." Geng Chen said.

"Will you answer?" Lawyer An responded.

"I won't answer, but I still hope you ask, because a big man standing in front of me, hesitating to speak, makes me very uncomfortable."

Lawyer An nodded and said:

"The underworld's enforcement team is coming up."

Geng Chen's eyes lit up instantly.

"It seems you didn't know about this."

Geng Chen shook his head. "I'm only responsible for passing messages to the underworld. I don't know what the underworld's follow-up actions are. However, I want to know, has the enforcement team arrived in Tong City?"

"I can't be 100% sure yet, but the way one of my clients died is very similar to the methods those people like to use."

"The enforcement team are all a bunch of lunatics."

"Yeah, those guys have been locked up in some small hell for decades."

Geng Chen smiled slightly. "Unless there's a warrant from a Yama King, they can't be released. In that case, a Yama King must be angry. I just don't know which court it is."

Lawyer An smiled. "Who cares? We're law-abiding citizens anyway."

Geng Chen also smiled, a meaningful smile.

"Don't play coy with me. We have other things to do recently. The enforcement team can't all come out, and the underworld can't release them all, otherwise, who's going to take responsibility if something big happens?

Now that they're here, we just won't provoke them."

"Do you think they'll find this place?" Geng Chen asked, "You've captured me, and it should be your people who wiped out an underworld tracking team that was sent here."

"Let them search, go ahead, search as hard as you can. By the way, do you remember if I found you or you found me?"

Geng Chen was stunned for a moment.

That's right,

If Lao Zhang hadn't told him about Tong City, he wouldn't have known that An Buqi was actually in Tong City. But even though he knew about the bookstore, he searched for a long time and couldn't find out where it was!

It wasn't anything difficult, but in the process of searching, it was as if he was shrouded in a cloud of darkness. If An Buqi hadn't gotten information from an informant and found him, he might still be wandering around in Tong City.

"The enforcement team's noses aren't that sensitive. We have divine protection here."

As Lawyer An spoke,

he crossed his arms over his chest

and piously said:

"Praise Mount Tai."

Geng Chen's gaze was calm, as calm as if he were looking at a fool with a strong desire to perform.

Lawyer An didn't mind. Fools always think others are fools.

Putting down his hands, Lawyer An licked his lips and said, "Let me tell you a secret, we also have a Nanfu battery here, which is better than six."

"..." Geng Chen.

"So, just stay here peacefully."

After speaking,

Lawyer An said to Xu Qinglang, who was still practicing,

"Lao Xu, don't just focus on practicing. When you have nothing to do, bleed your cheap master a little, so he doesn't recover too quickly.

Don't worry, this guy is a good person. He knows your difficulties and can understand you."

Geng Chen's breathing became heavy, and he immediately said:

"An Buqi, they're out!"

It was almost a roar!

Xu Qinglang was surprised. Was there a story here?

Lawyer An paused.

"You really are hiding thoroughly. I thought you would be the first to rush out and take revenge on them."

"Lao Geng, you're provoking me a bit too much. It doesn't suit your character, haha."

Geng Chen was silent.

After a while,

he sighed and said:

"Sorry."

"Mm."

Patting Xu Qinglang on the shoulder, Lawyer An walked out of the vegetable garden.

Stretching, Lawyer An sat down behind the bar.

There was a plate of boiled peanuts next to him, probably prepared by Lao Dao. Lawyer An didn't stand on ceremony, grabbing them and starting to peel them.

As he ate, he pondered the current situation.

Of course,

the general policy couldn't change.

That was, being a lazy bum trumps everything!

So, the next thing to do was to arrange things properly so that the bookstore could watch the fire from the other side during this period of turmoil, without getting involved.

Thinking it over,

after half a plate of peanuts was gone,

Lawyer An still felt that

the safest way seemed to be for everyone not to go out these days.

Order all meals online.

That was the safest...

But that was what gave Lawyer An a headache.

If closing the door could guarantee that nothing would happen,

then what did he need as a strategist?

To be in charge of locking the door?

At this moment, Lao Zhang came down from upstairs. His complexion had recovered a lot, and he didn't look like he was having a seizure like he was during the day.

"How are you?" Lawyer An asked with concern.

"My head still hurts a bit." Lao Zhang walked to the water dispenser behind the bar, poured a cup of hot water, and sat down while warming his hands.

"Next time, exercise more. Maybe that will make you last longer."

Lao Zhang "uh"ed.

"Look at our boss. He used to be like you. Every time after being entered, he would be paralyzed for a long time.

Now, as his physical fitness has improved, he can walk back refreshed after it's over. That's the difference."

Lao Zhang nodded as if he understood, but reason still told him that Lawyer An was talking nonsense.

Could physical fitness be improved through exercise?

This had already deviated from the range of ordinary people's physical fitness.

"Have you handed over your work?"

"Yeah, I took a long sick leave. I'll go back to work when the storm calms down."

Lao Zhang wasn't worried.

Lawyer An threw another peanut into his mouth. Perhaps, this was what made Lao Zhang more comfortable to be around than that Geng Chen.

People still have to know how to be flexible.

Lao Zhang took out his phone. It seemed to be out of power and couldn't be turned on. He found a charger under the bar, plugged it in, and then turned it back on.

Lawyer An was using the remote control to change channels, stopping at the sports channel.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Lao Zhang asked, "I just saw Lin Ke go back to her room alone."

Lawyer An shook his head. "I can't sleep. There's a Clásico tonight. Let's watch it."

"Do you like soccer a lot?"

"Not really."

"Because you're upset?"

"Yeah."

"Is it difficult to handle things?"

"No, the reason I'm upset is that things are too easy to handle."

Lawyer An helplessly reached out and scratched his hair.

"Our shell is too thick."

With such a thick shell protecting him,

If he wasn't a lazy bum,

he really would be letting himself down.

A ghost messenger certificate, plus a rechargeable battery luck buff.

Don't even mention enemies coming to seek revenge.

Enemies can't even find your house.

What revenge are they going to seek?

Lao Zhang didn't know how to respond, so he lowered his head and looked at his phone.

"Swish!"

Lao Zhang suddenly stood up, scaring Lawyer An.

"What's wrong?"

Lao Zhang solemnly handed his phone to Lawyer An. "Humans didn't do this, right?"

"What is this WeChat group? Is it internal to your police team?"

"Yeah, this news has been blocked to prevent panic. They didn't dare let the media know."

Lawyer An turned the phone over and swiped his fingertip up on the screen.

Three photos appeared.

Definitely not the censored versions from the news media, these were the most authentic ones.

Three corpses, mostly melted, were found in a ditch at the foot of Wolf Mountain.

Lawyer An's eyes widened instantly.

His fist clenched all of a sudden,

and slammed hard on the bar,

"Great!"

"Huh?" Lao Zhang looked at Lawyer An suspiciously.

Lawyer An took a deep breath, his face filled with sorrow, and angrily repeated:

"These damned beasts!"
