Chapter 544

Shanghai had already cooled down recently. Su Bai drove the car to the door of a children's clothing store on the side of the road. When he got out of the car, he clearly felt that the ice crystals seemed to be floating in the air.

The weather here was like this. Heavy snow in winter was a relatively rare thing. Occasionally, when it did snow, it was often sleet. It was difficult to really accumulate a layer of snow on the road. The feeling of dampness and coldness to the human body was definitely more deceptive than the temperature shown on the thermometer.

Pushing the door open, Su Bai walked in. The children's clothing store was quite large, and there were many waiters. One of them saw Su Bai coming in and took the initiative to greet him. Su Bai waved his hand, indicating that he could choose and look by himself.

As he walked and looked, his mind kept imagining what the little guy would look like wearing this and that clothes. It was also a very interesting thing.

At this moment, Su Bai saw a woman slowly walking across the shelf. The other party also saw Su Bai and stopped to smile at Su Bai.

"What a coincidence."

Su Bai nodded. "It's really quite a coincidence."

"Are you choosing clothes for your child here?" Ying Yinger asked.

"Yes, what about you?"

The two of them had been talking across the shelf. No one thought of walking to the other's side. Perhaps, the relationship between the two of them was really just this. They encountered each other because of sexual asphyxiation, and because of the black listener, they had further intersected. However, since then, the two of them really did not contact each other again. Su Bai had almost forgotten about it.

"Choosing some clothes for my relative's child." Ying Yinger took out her phone and looked at the time. "Sorry, there's not enough time. Let's have coffee next time."

"Okay."

The other party obviously felt that continuing to stay here would only make the two of them feel awkward, so it was better to leave first.

Ying Yinger went to the counter to pay the bill. Su Bai continued to choose clothes. As a father, his attitude when buying things for his child was probably very simple and generous. If he could buy more, he would buy more. This way, the child would have enough clothes to change. Although he was not as rich as before, Su Bai did not really learn to live a frugal life.

After choosing five or six sets of clothes and bringing them to the counter, Su Bai found that Ying Yinger did not go far. She was still standing outside the store. It was raining outside. Ying Yinger, who had always paid attention to her appearance, did not care at this time. She was anxiously talking on the phone in the rain. Her voice was also very urgent. She should have encountered something urgent.

After swiping the card and paying the bill, Su Bai carried the packaged clothes and walked out of the store. He did not deliberately look at Ying Yinger. He went straight to his car and prepared to leave. As the saying goes, when a man raises his belt, he won't recognize him. Moreover, there was no real relationship between a man and a woman in a suit and Ying Yinger. Su Bai was naturally too lazy to poke his nose into other people's business.

About half an hour later, Su Bai parked the car in the building's parking lot. When he went to take the elevator, he found a few people in the parking lot who looked a little abnormal. A blind man, a guy wearing a thick coat that revealed the corner of a bright yellow Taoist robe, and a woman in a suit and sunglasses holding a tablet.

These three people were obviously not parking, nor were they property management. According to Chu Zhao, the murder case had been handed over to the department in charge of supernatural incidents. It seemed that these three people were most likely from that department. However, although these three people had energy fluctuations, it was really frighteningly low. From the looks of it, at least in China, the government could not control the listeners to help them. Presumably, the terrorist broadcasting would not allow such a thing to happen. They were the sheep that they raised, so why should they be fleeced by the political organizations in the real world?

However, it seemed that there was a similar semi-official listener organization in the United Kingdom. That organization was tacitly allowed to exist. Why was that? Was it caused by the cultural differences between China and the West?

It would be strange if these three people could investigate anything. Su Bai did not stay and went straight into the elevator.

When he reached his floor and walked out of the elevator, Su Bai found a person standing at the door of his detective agency. It was a middle-aged man with a stubble. The man looked a little like a gangster. Even in winter, he was still bare-chested, and there was a tattoo on his arm. He looked quite fierce.

The man had obviously been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw that Su Bai had returned, he immediately changed his previous attitude and took the initiative to walk in front of Su Bai. He nodded and bowed, and said respectfully, "I saw your agency on the forum, so I have something to trouble you with."

"Forum?" Su Bai frowned slightly. He continued to hold the bag of clothes in one hand, and the other reached out and placed it on the man's shoulder.

The man's expression suddenly changed, and the tattoo on his body seemed to come alive. A green phantom of a lone wolf appeared on his forehead, as if it was choosing a person to devour.

However, in the next moment..,

A few lines of blood appeared on Su Bai's palm, emitting a fierce aura, the lone wolf totem immediately shrank back.

The Lone Wolf Totem immediately shrank back, and the man also showed fear on his face. He broke out in a cold sweat and immediately apologized to Su Bai.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't control myself, I couldn't control myself …"

Su Bai shook his head. "It's fine. Come in and talk."

Previously, Su Bai had deliberately provoked the man. It could also be considered a test. The test between the listeners would sometimes be very hidden, because every listener would subconsciously hide themselves. This was because everyone was used to having an extra trump card at a critical moment, which was a higher chance of survival.

However, that kind of obscure test could only occur between listeners of equal strength, and the man in front of Su Bai obviously did not have the qualifications and strength to talk to Su Bai on an equal footing. Therefore, Su Bai simply forced the other party's enhancement to take a look. This was a very rude behavior, and also a kind of offense. However, even if the other party knew, he had to apologize to Su Bai.

This was … reality.

Su Bai opened the door and sat on the chair behind his desk.

The man also followed in, appearing to be very cautious.

At this time, Su Bai suddenly remembered that Chu Zhao, who was standing in this position not long ago, was not as timid as this man. In fact, this man was much stronger than Chu Zhao.

Was it because Chu Zhao still treated him as a friend, so he ignored the difference in status between the two of them in the audience level?

"Hello, Mr. Su. Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Fuquan, a native of Shanghai. I used to drive a taxi. Later, well, I haven't done anything in the past six months, and I don't have the mood to do anything."

Su Bai's fingers tapped on the table. Compared to Liu Fuquan's name, Su Bai was more interested in how Liu Fuquan knew about his matters and how he found this detective firm.

"Is it that Listener forum?"

Su Bai turned on the computer on his desk, logged into the forum URL, and clicked on the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region section.

"Yes, there is an administrator's post. It's there." Liu Fuquan said.

Su Bai's gaze wandered through the administrator's post and found a message titled "Opening of the Listener Detective Firm". He clicked on it and saw the specific location of Su Bai's detective firm. It even had a phone number.

All of a sudden, Su Bai felt a little funny. He had to admit that he had indeed thought too simply in the past. Spending all his wealth to do these things was somewhat reckless. Of course, Su Bai didn't care much about the loss of money. It could even be said that he didn't care much about it. However, the opening of a detective firm didn't seem to bring him much of a normal life.

His discount firm seemed to have an inextricable relationship with the Listener Circle from the beginning. And now, this post was equivalent to the person in the forum exposing his identity.

Su Bai really didn't like the feeling of being exposed. He didn't want his rhythm of life to be constantly disturbed by unfamiliar listeners. Su Bai wasn't surprised that the administrator in the forum had information about him. What Su Bai found strange was why the other party would use this method to expose his detective firm and attract a listener.

"Speak, what's the matter?"

Su Bai lit a cigarette and planned to put the matter of the forum aside for the time being. Now there were many things that made him feel troublesome. One was the organization that absorbed Chu Zhao, and the other was the true identity of Ji Xiang. Compared to these, the matter of the forum really couldn't be ranked in the first place.

Liu Fuquan smiled in a somewhat reserved manner. "I came here after seeing that post. Originally, uh, originally, I wanted to find a listener with similar strength or a bit stronger than me to investigate that matter together. But I didn't expect that sir's strength was so strong."

Liu Fuquan said with an awkward expression.

"Let's talk about your matter first. If I have a mouthful of meat to eat, you at least have a mouthful of soup to drink."

"Look at what you're saying. How could I dare to discuss conditions with sir? Even if sir doesn't give me anything, I'll tell you this news and gain some goodwill from you. For me, it's also a profitable business."

Liu Fuquan took out a photo from his pocket. It was a black and white photo of a couple. Looking at the era, it could even be traced back to the old Shanghai of the Republic of China period.

This black and white photo as well as the photo album were brought to Su Bai. Su Bai first looked at the black and white photo, then looked at the photo on Liu Fuquan's phone. "What's wrong?"

"The old photo was taken under the department store when my grandparents were young. This one was taken in the park the day before yesterday. Look at the young man walking behind my grandparents in the old photo. Doesn't he look exactly the same as the young man in the photo I took on the day before yesterday?"

Su Bai carefully looked at it again. The old photo was well preserved, so it wasn't blurry or blurry. He could clearly see the face of the young man who walked past Liu Fuquan's grandparents when they were taking the photo. The photo on the phone was even clearer, it could indeed be seen as two people who looked very similar.

"It's probably just a coincidence. After all, there are many people who look alike in this world. It's even possible that the person you took the photo the day before yesterday is the descendant of the person in the old photo." Su Bai shook his head and said.

Liu Fuquan suddenly lowered his voice and approached Su Bai. With a little mystery, he asked softly,

"Sir, there's an unsolved case. I don't know if you've heard of it. It's called 'Lin Family Residence No. 37 Case'."
