"Hua Ziqin hasn't returned yet?" Xia Pingan sat comfortably on the soft and thick leather chair and drank a mouthful of the fragrant green tea that Wei Meiyu brewed. He glanced at the clock on the wall of the room and exhaled contentedly.
It was the first day he came to the office of the inspectorate. After a day of torment, he finally finished all the things that needed to be tormented.
"Yes, Sir, you asked her to retrieve the evidence. There's more than one victim, and some of them may have moved, so they probably won't be back for a while!" Situ Hua stood in front of Xia Pingan's desk and sized up Xia Pingan's expression. He carefully reported to Xia Pingan, "That Lawyer Jiang, I've already taken him to visit those security banks and security business groups. I've also told them what Sir said. Those security banks and security business groups' owners and managers actually want to find an opportunity to visit Sir personally!"
Xia Pingan looked at Situ Hua expressionlessly. "Hmm? When did I ask you to take Lawyer Jiang to visit those security banks and security business groups? Why didn't I know about this? "
Upon hearing Xia Pingan's words, Situ Hua was stunned for a moment. The next second, he felt his heart beating violently and sweating profusely. F * ck, is he trying to distance himself from me? Isn't it enough to have the white gloves and Lawyer Jiang as insurance? He's collecting money behind my back and wants to throw me out as a scapegoat when something happens …
Thinking of the consequences, Situ Hua's legs went soft and he almost couldn't stand.
"Hahaha, don't be nervous. I'm just joking with you. Look at your face, it's changed!" Xia Pingan suddenly laughed again, which made people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze. "Those people should just disappear. Even if they meet, it's nothing more than flattery. Anyway, the rules are the same. If there's a need to meet again, it's fine as long as they deposit my hard-earned money into my account every month!"
Situ Hua wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and forced a smile. "I'm old and can't stand being frightened. Sir, please don't joke with me like this in the future!"
"Alright, what do you think of Lawyer Jiang?"
Situ Hua calmed down. "Sir, this person is the one you like. He's cautious and he's quite smart. He won't do stupid things. If Sir uses him, it means that he's useful. Even if he does something stupid, it's very easy to settle it!"
Xia Pingan smiled and nodded. "You've worked hard today. It's almost time, you can go home!"
"It's not hard at all. It's my honor to work for Sir!" Situ Hua wiped his cold sweat and forced a smile. He carefully took a few steps back before turning around and walking towards the office door.
......... and the rain. of the rain't's's.
. ''t't' ''t's''s't't '' '''t, ''t's't's.
The streets outside were still a little cold and cheerless in the afternoon. There weren't many people on the streets, but at this time, the streets were bustling with people getting off work. Because of the rain, the rental carriage business on the streets was booming. It was hard to find a carriage. Not far away, the doors of several wine houses across the street also began to be crowded.
The white-collar and blue-collar workers from the banks, business groups, notary offices, various business associations, and trade representative offices on the nearby streets began to swarm out of the buildings.
For many workers who had worked hard all day, getting off work was the happiest thing. Some wanted to go home, while others missed the warm and relaxed atmosphere in the wine house with their colleagues.
Xia Pingan had also been busy at the Inspection Department for the whole day.
Today, he had gained a lot. He felt unusually full and long. He had met the people he needed to meet and arranged the things that needed to be arranged. Originally, Xia Pingan wanted to crack the case and establish his glorious position as the inspector in the Inspection Department. However, since Hua Ziqin hadn't returned yet, then forget it. He would wait until tomorrow.
Anyway, the person locked in the cell wouldn't escape, so it wouldn't make a difference to wait for half a day.
Xia Pingan stretched, then stood up, put on his coat, and pushed open the office door.
Outside the office, Wei Meiyu had already moved in and was organizing some documents.
"Meiyu, you can get off work now!" Xia Pingan took his umbrella and said to Wei Meiyu.
Wei Meiyu quickly stood up. "Sir, do you want me to arrange a carriage for you?"
"No need, I will go back by myself. You should go back early too!"
"Okay, I will go back after I finish organizing these documents!"
Xia Pingan nodded.
… …
After pushing open the door of the Inspection Department, the cold wind outside blew in, making people feel refreshed. Xia Pingan went down the stairs, went around the fountain, and came to the door. Luo Lao Yao, who was guarding the door, smiled and opened the door for Xia Pingan. Just as he walked to the street outside, a four-wheeled rental carriage pulled by two black horses had already stopped in front of Xia Pingan.
"Baifu Carriage Company is honored to serve you!" The coachman sat in the carriage, but a young attendant in a black suit opened a black umbrella, opened the door, and respectfully let Xia Pingan in.
This kind of luxurious rental carriage was rarely seen on the road. In addition to the coachman driving the carriage, there was also an attendant who acted as a bodyguard. Some rich people liked to hire this kind of carriage when they first came to Shangjing.
Baifu Carriage Company was one of the four major carriage companies in the Donggang District. Xia Pingan saw their owner in the afternoon.
"Go to Tianyuan Bridge …" Xia Pingan did not decline and directly got in the carriage.
This luxurious carriage was equipped with a heater, incense, a bar, and fine wine. The carriage was covered with a bearskin carpet, which was quite luxurious.
The attendant and the coachman sat in the front in the wind and rain. The coachman shook the reins, and the carriage ran happily.
… …
When the carriage arrived at Tianyuan Bridge, the rain did not stop, but the sky was already dark.
Since it was raining, there were basically no stalls in the night market at Tianyuan Bridge. After Xia Pingan got out of the carriage, he directly went to the Jewel Forest with an umbrella.
When the boss of the Jewel Forest saw Xia Pingan enter, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and helped Xia Pingan take the umbrella. "I didn't expect you to come here today even though it's raining!"
"I just dropped by to have a look. I have nothing to do anyway …" Xia Pingan said with a smile.
"You came at the right time. I just bought two New Realm Beads. According to your request, the price is not bad. Please sit down and drink some tea. I'll show you!"
As he spoke, the boss of the Jewel Forest directly led Xia Pingan to the tearoom behind the counter.
These days, Xia Pingan had bought a lot of Realm Beads here and spent tens of thousands of gold coins. He was very familiar with the boss of the Jewel Forest.
The boss of the Jewel Forest was surnamed Su, and his name was Su He. He had been selling Realm Beads on Tianyuan Bridge for decades.
For customers like Xia Pingan, although the Realm Beads that Xia Pingan bought were of low to medium price, Xia Pingan was straightforward, straightforward, and bought a lot of Realm Beads. Unknowingly, he became a super petty customer in the eyes of the boss of the Jewel Forest.
After drinking two mouthfuls of tea, Boss Su came over with two boxes and placed them in front of Xia Pingan. He opened one of the boxes and said, "This is a Realm Bead of Divine Power. The probability of death if the fusion fails is 60%. However, after the fusion succeeds, the Realm Bead of Divine Power will increase by at least 70 points. Furthermore, the price is not expensive, only 460 gold coins. It meets your requirements very well!"
Xia Pingan looked at the Realm Bead and saw four Xiaozhuan characters flashing inside the Realm Bead. Xia Pingan's expression instantly became strange.
This was Gou Jian's Realm Bead.
Xia Pingan did not have any objections to other Realm Beads. However, Xia Pingan was somewhat against this Realm Bead. Firstly, Xia Pingan did not like Gou Jian. Secondly, fusing with this Realm Bead might be very disgusting. After Wu destroyed Yue, Yue King Gou Jian became Wu King Fu Chai's follower. The reason why Gou Jian was able to obtain Wu King Fu Chai's trust and return was because when Wu King Fu Chai was sick, Gou Jian volunteered to taste Wu King Fu Chai's feces. This made Wu King Fu Chai 'extremely moved' and allowed Gou Jian to return.
Therefore, if he wanted to fuse with this Realm Bead … he might have to eat feces.
F * ck …
"Why? You don't like this one?" Boss Su observed Su Hao's expression and asked.
"Ai, let's look at the other one!" Xia Pingan said helplessly. There were things a man could do and things he could not do. Forget about that Realm Bead. Even if you knew about Gou Jian's abilities, you would not be able to learn them.
"Alright, let's take a look at this Realm Bead!" Boss Su opened the second box with even more careful movements and began to introduce it. "This Realm Bead is a rare and special Cave Realm Bead. After successfully fusing with it, you can use a spell to dig a hole in the ground. Your speed is as fast as lightning. Digging a hole is not usually useful, but it is hard to say when it will be useful!"
Xia Pingan looked at the Realm Bead and saw three words on it. "Uncle Yingkao …"
Just by looking at these three words, Xia Pingan roughly understood why this Realm Bead could 'dig a hole'. This Realm Bead should be about the story of Zheng Zhuanggong digging a hole to see his mother. And the person who made Zheng Zhuanggong dig a hole to see his mother was Uncle Yingkao.
"How much is this Realm Bead?" Xia Pingan asked directly.
"Although this Realm Bead is difficult to fuse with, the death rate is extremely low even if the fusion fails. Furthermore, the spell it bestows is very special. Therefore, the price of this Realm Bead is not cheap. I bought it for 2150 gold coins. I will earn you 50 gold coins and 2200 gold coins!"
"That's not cheap!"
Boss Su smiled bitterly. "Recently, the price of Realm Beads on the market has been increasing. I can't do anything about it. If it was in the past, the purchase price of this Realm Bead would only be 1,800 gold coins. Now, it has increased a lot …" At this point, Boss Su looked outside and lowered his voice. "Haven't you heard that the Demon Gate is about to open? That's why the price of this Realm Bead has increased so much!"
"The Demon Gate is about to open?" Xia Pingan was slightly stunned.
The so-called opening of the Demon Gate in this world was somewhat similar to the space invasion on Earth. However, it was not exactly the same. The so-called Demon Gate was the opening of the door to the Void Secret Realm where a large number of demons were hidden.
When the Demon Gate opened, the demons in the Void Secret Realm could run out. Summoners and humans from the outside could also run into the Void Secret Realm.
However, in general, the opening of the Demon Gate was not a good thing.
"I just heard this news from a bounty hunter who came to sell Realm Beads. Many people are spreading the news!"
"2200 gold coins it is. I want this Realm Bead!" Xia Pingan said and sighed in his heart. This Summoner really spent money like water. No matter how much money he had, it would not be enough.
"Do you want this Realm Bead?" Boss Su pointed at the Realm Bead that was "enduring hardships".
"I don't want this one …" Xia Pingan shook his head. "I think this Realm Bead is very picky!"
