"There is indeed one thing."
Jiang Wang said, "I recently intended to go to the offshore islands and wanted to pick up a mission at the Inspection Office. However, after looking for a long time, I didn't find a suitable one. I don't know if I didn't find the right place or if I don't have enough authority. "
He didn't need to reject Zheng Shangming's goodwill. Friendship was reciprocal, and relationships were built through interaction.
This time, he came to the Inspection Office of the Capital City to report on his work because he wanted to pick up a mission here.
As Hai Zongming's murderer, it was true that he was forced to fight back. The battlefield was outside the sphere of influence of Qi and Fishing Sea Tower, so Fishing Sea Tower couldn't find any reason to openly hunt him down. However, if he went to the offshore islands and showed off, he would inevitably encounter trouble.
As a man from Qingyang Town, he was naturally protected by Qi.
As a Rank Four Blue Medal Arrester who was on duty, he was even more important. It could even be said that he represented Qi's face in a sense.
Hai Zongming killed Jiang Wang in private and outside of Qi's territory. At that time, if Jiang Wang died, Qi would definitely find trouble with Fishing Sea Tower. Even if Hai Zongming was an Elder with real power, it was impossible for him not to pay the price. It was just that Hai Zongming thought that the value of the Red Makeup Mirror was greater than the price he had to pay to kill Jiang Wang.
If he killed Jiang Wang silently, Qi wouldn't have to pay the price if he couldn't find the murderer.
Whether it was right or wrong for Jiang Wang to kill Hai Zongming was already debated by Qi and Fishing Sea Tower. Fishing Sea Tower didn't have the upper hand no matter what. The result was that they didn't do anything.
At this time, on the offshore islands, as long as Fishing Sea Tower didn't want to start a war, they wouldn't easily do anything to Da Qi who was on duty.
This was one of the reasons.
The second advantage was that Jiang Wang had received a mission to the offshore islands, so he had to understand the offshore islands first. Depending on the level of the mission, the Inspection Office of the Capital City would correspondingly open the information about the offshore islands to him.
Combined with the information collected by Chung Geng Sheng, he could gain a better understanding of the offshore archipelago. It was killing two birds with one stone, and there were many benefits.
Zheng Shangming thought for a moment and said, "There are actually a lot of things to do in the nearby islands. You said that you want a suitable mission. Why don't you tell me your requirements?"
Jiang Wang didn't hide anything and said directly, "The level of the task can't be too low. It's better to be above the Inner Mansion, but not above the Outer Mansion."
'Has his strength improved to such an extent? Is he completely confident that he can handle cases at the level of the Outer Tower?'
Zheng Shangming took a deep look at Jiang Wang and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll ask around for you."
Jiang Wang could only try his best to increase the difficulty of the mission if he wanted to obtain more high-level information about the coastal islands from the city's inspection office. However, he did not intend to seek his own death by going there. Missions that were of a higher level than the outer tower were not something he could participate in.
As for putting up a task and only looking at the information but not carrying it out, it would not work either. The Patrol Office had its own reward and punishment system. For example, when Jiang Wang took up the task of chasing the Gateless Hell, it was because the Northern Yamen's Commandant Zheng Shi had informed him and the Arrester Yue Leng had acquiesced. That was why he was allowed to leave the territory with a nominal mission.
After all, no one would think that an arrester of the Inner Mansion State could do anything to the Gateless Hell.
Therefore, Jiang Wang had to complete the task he took in the offshore islands seriously this time. Keeping the Blue Medal on him was also beneficial for his future development in the Qi Department.
The Patrol Office in the capital was not very high-level, but it was very big. The Blue Medal Arresters who came in and out were all very good at keeping an eye on people, which made people feel inexplicably pressured.
Jiang Wang waited in the hall for a while and unexpectedly met an acquaintance.
"Mr. Jiang!" Lin Youxie, who was wearing a cyan headscarf, saluted from afar.
Judging from the internal structure of the Blue Medal Arresters, Jiang Wang, who was wearing a Rank-4 Blue Medal, was one level higher than her.
She behaved very well and was very polite. It was unknown whether it was because of the Rank-4 Blue Medal or because of Jiang Wang's warning last time.
"Long time no see. How have you been?"
"Thank you for your concern. It's been quite smooth." Jiang Wang nodded. "Arrester Lin, you're still as elegant as ever."
It had to be said that his greeting skills were very poor. No matter who he was talking to, he would always say, "You're still as elegant as ever."
He did not have any prejudice against Lin Youxie. In fact, he respected the Blue Medal Arresters who dealt with transcendent being cases and maintained law and order. However, the premise was that Lin Youxie did not endlessly probe and doubt him.
It was interesting to say. Lin Youxie was only in the Soaring Dragon Realm and should have been wearing a Rank-6 Blue Medal. However, with his rich experience in handling cases and his ancestral methods of handling cases, he had solved many cases and was wearing a Rank-5 Blue Medal.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wang was in the Inner Mansion Realm and was wearing a Rank-4 Blue Medal. He relied on his extraordinary strength, Zheng Shi's favor, and Yue Leng's admiration.
Both of them were considered to have leapfrogged positions, so they should have a lot in common.
However, because of Lin Youxie's inexplicable suspicion of Jiang Wang, the relationship between the two was very tense.
Perhaps it was not inexplicable. Perhaps … Lin Youxie was suspecting Zhang Yong. Every time she talked to Jiang Wang, she would always bring the topic to Zhang Yong.
However, the case of Feng Xian and Zhang Yong's family extermination had already been closed, and Lin Youxie was personally involved in the case. Zhang Yong was now working for Jiang Wuqi in the Longevity Palace, which was enough to prove that there was nothing wrong with him.
Lin Youxie still suspected Zhang Yong. Firstly, it was like slapping his own face. Secondly, it was inevitable that it would be futile. What was the point?
Moreover, regarding Zhang Yong's case, Jiang Wang was really innocent. He and Zhang Yong had nothing to do with each other. They had only entered the Tianfu Mystic Realm once, and he had forgotten the process. Later, when he heard about the case of Feng Xian and Zhang Yong's family extermination, he was asked by Chung Geng Sheng to pay a visit. After that, they did not contact each other.
Even if there was something wrong with Zhang Yong, it could not be traced back to Jiang Wang.
The only problem was that Jiang Wang was suspicious of Zhang Yong's true identity because of their fight on Yunwu Mountain. However, Jiang Wang chose to hide it at that time, so no one else knew of his suspicions.
Or perhaps, Zhang Yong was just a cover. Lin Youxie's real purpose was to investigate how he had sneaked into Linzi City in the early stages of the Doorless Hell. Or to investigate who had ordered Xu Fang to apologize outside the Bluestone Palace?
During his time in Qi City, if there was anything that could not be exposed, it would be these two things.
In the face of Jiang Wang's perfunctory politeness, Lin Youxie chuckled and said, "Lord Jiang, you were separated from most of the Blue Medal teams, but you were able to dig out King Qinguang's whereabouts alone. That's what I call outstanding!"
When interacting with a smart person, especially a smart person who specialized in handling cases, it was inevitable that one would often feel uneasy about being seen through.
"You flatter me." Jiang Wang decided not to make things difficult for himself. He said politely, "I still have things to do here. Constable Lin, you see …"
Lin Youxie seemed to not understand at all. "What are you busy with, Lord Jiang? I wonder if I can be of any help? "
"You're too polite!" Jiang Wang was somewhat helpless. "It's just a private matter. There's no need to trouble yourself."
"Oh." Lin Youxie nodded and said, "Actually, it's no trouble at all. We're all colleagues. Speaking of which, I would like to ask Lord Jiang for help. "
Hitting the snake with the stick, this movement technique was too proficient.
Could it be that this was a necessary skill for the Blue Medal?
Jiang Wang thought about some trivial matters and said with a laugh, "I just returned to Linzi not long ago. What can I do to help? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. "
"It's not a very troublesome matter."
Lin Youxie smiled and said sincerely, "Lord Jiang hasn't worn the Blue Medal for long. First, you found King Qinguang of the Doorless Hell in Qi. After leaving Qi, you found traces of King Chujiang alone. It can be seen that Lord Jiang has studied the art of tracking. This lowly official has been immersed in the art of tracking for many years and has reached a bottleneck. It's difficult to advance, and it's unbearably painful! I wonder if Lord Jiang can spare some time to discuss this with this lowly official? "
Jiang Wang looked at her intelligent eyes and had the misconception that she had already dug out all the secrets in his heart.
He knew that it was too careless of him to use King Chujiang's appearance at Camel Mountain to deal with the task. He had already committed a mistake!
It was also very likely that Lin Youxie would be able to connect him to the Doorless Hell through this.
The only thing worth rejoicing over was that he and King Chujiang really didn't have much interaction. They had only exchanged a few words, so it was impossible for him to find out anything. Moreover, he was able to openly reveal King Chujiang's whereabouts. From another point of view, this proved his magnanimity.
However, no matter what, he still had to keep a distance from people like Lin Youxie.
However, she was so difficult to deal with that it would be difficult to achieve his goal by distancing himself politely.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wang shook his head coldly and said arrogantly, "Your rank is too low and your cultivation is even lower. I don't have time to discuss this with you."
