Chapter 251: 251 Tushan Jiu pawned a knife

251 Tushan Jiu pawned a knife.

After Qifeng Yuan finished telling his family his last wishes, and also learned from his wife and daughter that they were doing well now, the little obsession he had left also completely disappeared cleanly.

When they took Qifeng Yuan away, Qimian Yi asked what the compensation for Tushan Jiu's pawned knife was.

Tushan Jiu said, "One meal," then pointed to Maomao, Wang Dongqing, and Xiang Yichu, smiling as she said, "The four of us."

Qimian Yi was first stunned; she really hadn't expected that seeing her father would cost nothing more than a simple meal.

She replied with a choked voice: "Okay."

Tushan Jiu smiled and comforted her: "I eat a lot, but this meal will be quite hard for you."

Hearing that, Qimian Yi laughed through tears: "Thank you, Miss Tushan."

Tushan Jiu waved at her, then put Qifeng Yuan into the talisman paper and turned to get into the car.

The four of them drove all the way back to the office.

But as soon as they parked the car in the office lot and all four got out, they were stunned.

Because not only Xu Jiangshan, Lin Xiu'er, Chen Rang, Qian Hu, and others were standing at the building entrance, but even the Black and White Impermanence were there, arms crossed, leisurely watching them.

This matter had become a big deal, so not only the higher-ups took it seriously, but even the lower-level leaders found out, and thus they sent the Black and White Impermanence up to see what was causing trouble.

After the two ghosts came up, they listened to everyone's report, and also served tea and water; after a while Lao Xu said it might be Wang Dongqing having diarrhea, and then a moment later Lin Xiu'er said it might be Xiang Yichu having a stomach ailment.

Did they think those two ghosts were idiots?

With such an obvious delay, could those two thousand-year-old ghosts not see through it?

Fan Wujiu's single sentence, "Tushan Jiu pawned a knife," successfully made everyone go about their own business.

Not even the water in their tea cups was refilled for the two ghosts.

At that time, needless to say, they were utterly speechless.

They secretly noted this little grudge against the Nan Cheng Office in their hearts.

So when they saw Tushan Jiu get out of the car, they......

Well, since they've pawned a knife, what else can they do?

Tushan Jiu handed over the talisman paper, saying, "I've already performed the rites for him; tell my mother and my eldest aunt that he's a hero, and if he chooses reincarnation, arrange a VIP channel for him—thank you for your hard work."

The Black and White Impermanence duo: "......"

Without saying a word extra, they took the talisman paper and vanished from the spot.

Tushan Jiu raised her eyebrows: "Impolite, not even answering me."

The air grew eerily silent.

Everyone looked at each other and then all gave Tushan Jiu a thumbs-up.

Our Nan Cheng Office has truly been blessed by Tushan Jiu's light; as a Mystic Master, in my lifetime I can still make the lower-level leaders suffer defeat, and there's no one else like that.

Lao Xu spoke first, clearing his throat lightly: "Just go do what you need to do, Tushan Jiu."

Tushan Jiu: "Ah?"

The case was handled well; hurry up and write the closing report, as there are still leaders waiting above. Xiu'er, I don't know what little cakes or milk tea they'd like, so you order some for them—I'll treat personally.

Lin Xiu'er smiled: "Okay."

Tushan Jiu and the four of them said in unison: "Thank you, Lao Xu!"

Xu Jiangshan nodded, then smiled and turned to enter the building.

Everyone else also laughed as they walked into the building.

Only Qian Hu (that talkative team leader) remained at the end; he looked at Tushan Jiu, hesitating to say something.

Seeing that, Tushan Jiu silently thought "uh-oh," gave the other three a glance, and they all hurriedly slipped away.

While Qian Hu was choosing his words, he looked up again and only the puppet sprite by his feet remained.

The puppet sprite had a blank expression, but inside it was thrilled: "Captain Qian, long time no see! Our last chat was so fun. Let me tell you, those four of them look really cool today. I know the details—shall we go to your office?"

Qian Hu: "!!!"

Qian Hu turned and walked away; he didn't want to talk to it, couldn't win an argument, and if it started talking it could go on for three rounds back and forth.

He guessed this guy might have been underground with no one to talk to, and only after seeing the light did he start chattering nonstop.

He even worried a bit: if this thing ever took human form, would it be a man or a woman?

But regardless of gender, being this talkative would make it hard to find a job, right?

Then wouldn't it be difficult for it to live in human society?

No way; when he has free time, he'll need to talk to Xiang Yichu, who's currently in charge of it, about its future employment prospects.

"Wait, Captain Qian, don't go—don't you want to know how they caught that male ghost at sea today? Hey, wait for me......"

Two days later, a maritime police bulletin shot up to the hot search list.

This bulletin is about the case investigation report of the sinking of the Yunfan Ship HS-YF20201200 from back then.

The content above basically follows the cause and effect that Tushan Jiu divined, reported truthfully.

Of course, aside from the 'ghost ship' incident, this naturally could not be made known to the public.

Many news outlets also conducted in-depth reporting on this incident.

The state conferred the title of martyr on Qifeng Yuan, and his family legally enjoys all the welfare policies due to martyr families.

Many people online forwarded this news; heroes naturally should be remembered.

After this case ended, Tushan Jiu's team went several days without any cases.

By mid-month, they took on three small cases.

However, two of them were false alarms, and the other was merely that the family's descendants didn't believe in this; after the old person died, they didn't burn anything for him once, so the old person fared poorly in the afterlife, and because less than three years had passed since his death, his earthly soul ran to the house to cause trouble.

Because that family experienced a supernatural event at home, they reported it to the police, and then Zhang Xuefeng on the police side confirmed it was a supernatural incident and directly handed it over to the office.

After Tushan Jiu and her group arrived at the scene and spoke with them, that family insisted on materialism, saying someone must have used some means to sabotage their home, and they also demanded that the case be solved within a deadline, otherwise they would file a complaint.

Maomao disliked their ink traces, directly summoned the old person's soul, letting the old lady herself tell his descendants, saving trouble.

Anyway we are going to complain about them, so how could complaining not be complaining?

As expected, each of the four people happily received a deduction of ten performance points.

Before the end of the month they still need to go to the task library to find cases to solve; only then can this month be considered qualified.

The four said it didn't matter, and in the middle of the month they began selecting tasks.

Because the 29th at month's end is Tushan Jiu's birthday, although the Gregorian birthday on her ID has already passed, Xie Shiyu and Tushan Jiu still decided not to miss these few days, wanting to get the certificate on this commemorative day.

Tushan Jiu also specially lit incense to ask her grandfather whether, after obtaining the marriage certificate, she could hand the account book to Xie Shiyu, letting him help her keep it and remind her to collect payments.

The result was her grandfather said no, the whole ritual must be completed, and only after announcing it to heaven and earth can it be done.

Tushan Jiu was a bit disappointed, but thinking that once the certificate is obtained, marriage is not far off?

Thinking this way, she looks forward even more to her and Xie Shiyu's wedding night!

By then she can sit opposite him on the wedding bed.

She counts the gift ledger.

He counts the debt ledger.
