Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013

"Fisherman, I'm going to arrange for some people to hide in the sewer later, could you help look after them?"

Liu Zheng called the Fisherman.

"What happened?" Googlᴇ search NoveI~Fire.net

The Fisherman, seeing that this kid didn't shout randomly and spoke seriously, also took on a serious tone.

"Killed a former Special Action Team member. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but last time I didn't share the credit for taking down those Round God Sect cultists with the Criminal Investigation Bureau, now they're coming for trouble."

"And what about you?"

"I'm fine, I've already reached the restaurant."

"Which entry are they coming down from?"

"The entry near the clinic."

"Understood. You're really quite the troublemaker."

The Fisherman shot him a glare over the phone.

He had hoped this kid could help him protect the Sea Girl, but now it seemed like it would be lucky if the Sea Girl didn't get dragged into this.

But if Liu Zheng weren't so troublesome, the Fisherman wouldn't believe this kid had the ability to protect the Sea Girl.

If the Fisherman was the agent of the sewer, then Liu Zheng was the Fisherman's agent.

The proxy you choose, you'll have to stick with even if you cry about it.

He certainly wouldn't admit that this kid was his chosen son-in-law!

"The Sphinx was taken away by the Criminal Investigation Bureau, my car was also towed by them."

Hanging up, Liu Zheng called Ace.

"Tsk, they're really quick. They're always the most enthusiastic when it comes to collecting things, no doubt they're the fastest department in the entire Security Department."

"They're doing this to retaliate deliberately, because I didn't share the credit for eliminating the Round God Sect with them before."

"I know. No need to remind me, if I didn't plan on helping you, I wouldn't have called you in the first place."

Ace saw through his intentions.

"Not only help me, but also help my friends."

Liu Zheng emphasized.

"Don't worry, the Criminal Investigation Bureau's methods are much more civilized now. As long as the Sphinx isn't related to this incident, there shouldn't be any issues."

"If you want to frame someone, what crime couldn't you fabricate? It can't be completely unrelated, at least helping me escape is something it can't avoid being suspected of."

"The Security Department should have soul-searching methods, right?"

"They do, but anyone with a bit stronger ability also has anti-soul-searching ways, so it's not very effective."

"And after a violent soul search, the person is basically ruined, right?"

"Yeah, generally that's the case."

Ace hesitated and said.

"Brother Pai, can you help me get the Sphinx out?"

"This matter, if I stepped in it wouldn't work. The Criminal Investigation Bureau already dislikes me, as a logistician, for stealing their credit. If I step in to get someone out, it could have the opposite effect."

"Of course, I'm not blaming you. Who doesn't like promotions and raises? I'm just too lazy to work for them, naturally, the more the better when credit falls from the sky."

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you either. Since you said it , I'll just go for it."

He hadn't expected much from Ace anyway, only asked politely.

"Don't go too hard; even if you're a delivery guy from the Bloody Restaurant, you can't openly oppose City Hall. Don't rush, let me see if there's another way."

Liu Zheng nodded, waiting for his response.

After waiting for a good ten minutes, Ace finally spoke.

"Aren't they using that Sphinx to threaten you? You also catch some people to threaten them."

"I'll send you a few wanted posters, you can pick one."

Soon, Ace sent over a picture.

A black-and-white photo, but clear enough to make out the details.

The criminal on the wanted poster looked not much different from a human, but their face was full of wrinkles, and the shape was unusually elongated, like a horse's face with human features grafted onto it.

This criminal was charged with assaulting and brutally murdering a First-class citizen couple and their two children, as well as killing other second and third-class citizens, among other offenses.

"This guy is called Nahuo, a Kunyang person. Of course, he's had many names, this is just one of them. The couple he slaughtered is the grandson and granddaughter-in-law of a councilman."

"Because the Criminal Investigation Bureau has yet to catch the criminal, the councilman often criticizes them in public, sometimes publishing articles in newspapers to expose their shortcomings and even plans to question them at next year's council meeting, putting the Criminal Investigation Bureau in a difficult position."

"If you can catch Nahuo, you can either use him to exchange with the Criminal Investigation Bureau or have the councilman help to get someone out."

"If the Criminal Investigation Bureau can't catch someone, how can I?"

"Every dog has its den, every mouse its path. There are places they can't reach that you might be able to. Things they can't find out, you might overhear just walking around."

Just like Sha Jiang, who hid in the sewer, the Security Department could never find him, but Liu Zheng could run into him.

"What are Kunyang people though?"

"It's a race that likes to live underground, essentially an independent tribe but they seem to have obscure ties with many Divines. They have high prowess in spiritual energy and can switch freely between spiritual bodies and flesh. They can even use spiritual energy to modify their own bodies to achieve immortality. Moreover, this ability can affect not only themselves but others, and even the dead."
