Chapter 268: and translation of title, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities appearing in these lines

268 What's the point of earning points? It's just getting deducted anyway.

After listening to Tushan Jiu's words, Maomao finally understood a bit: "No wonder, I didn't see any blood evil aura on his body—how did he become a fierce ghost?"

After thinking, it again said: "No way, the people from the Qing Cheng office—can't they even see this?"

Wang Dongqing gave it a glance and said: "You think every team has a little Jiu?"

The implication is that, although many offices in Huaxia have diviners, ordinary diviners can only see a bit of fate and destiny; such deep deduction consumes a lot of cultivation, not to mention it also drains vital energy, so even when encountering supernatural events, they only do a bit of investigation.

In other words, if their team didn't have Tushan Jiu, they would also have to discover bit by bit, investigate the truth bit by bit, and finally close the case.

Just like ordinary police, except they investigate people while we investigate ghosts; they use weapons, we use magical implements.

Maomao sort of understood: "Oh~ okay, I still don't really get it."

Wang Dongqing: "......"

Xiang Yichu held back a laugh: "It's my fault; after we finish this case, I'll teach you the Mysterious Gate system when we go back."

There's no way around it; it has a lot to learn, so we can only teach whatever comes to mind.

The only advantage is that it's a blank slate; whatever you teach it, that's what it learns.

Tushan Jiu also covered her mouth and laughed, but she always felt like she had forgotten something.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly slapped her thigh: "We seem to have left those three from Qing Cheng at the hotel!"

Upon hearing that, whether it was Wang Dongqing driving, Xiang Yichu and Maomao in the passenger seat, or Maomao beside Tushan Jiu, they all froze for a moment.

Alright, they've gotten used to handling cases, forgetting that this case belongs to others.

Wang Dongqing scratched his head embarrassedly and explained: "Hehe, it's fine; this is also our first joint case, lack of experience, Xiang Yichu, you drive, I'll send them the location so they can take a taxi and catch up."

Saying that, he pulled the car over to the side of the road, let Xiang Yichu take over driving, and he was responsible for real-time location sharing with the Qing Cheng side.

The three who received Wang Dongqing's message had already been confused in the wind for half a day, thinking: "You guys finally remembered us!"

After they regrouped.

Wang Dongqing: "Sorry, we're all newcomers, we forgot, we forgot, lack of experience; don't worry, next time you come we definitely won't forget you."

Bi Yewei waved his hand: "No problem, no problem, normal; when we first went out on a case, we didn't rush you either, but your way of leaving the scene really shocked us three, hehe."

Wang Dongqing scratched his head sheepishly and gave an embarrassed laugh: "Hehehe, occasionally, occasionally."

Tan Feng adjusted his glasses: "Alright, let's get down to business—where's Lang Qingfeng? You didn't lose him too, did you?"

Upon hearing that, Bi Yewei and Chen Yinghui also looked over.

"He's not lost, but you'll have to wait a moment—Lang Qingfeng is doing a live stream inside; once the stream ends, he'll naturally come out to you." Wang Dongqing explained.

The three were dazed again, feeling they could understand each word Wang Dongqing said, but when put together they couldn't make sense of it.

"Live stream? Lang Qingfeng?" Bi Yewei exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Dongqing gave a professional smile: "Yeah, our team specializes in ghost‑themed case work—oh, right, you guys too, you haven't investigated clearly how you can say those two people were killed by Lang Qingfeng; although we handle ghost cases, we still need evidence, right? The situation is like this......"

He recounted to them the whole cause, process, and result of what Tushan Jiu had calculated, from beginning to end.

The three listened, stunned, and inwardly exclaimed, "You guys are devils!"

Not only can they deduce the matter in such fine detail, but they also do it from multiple angles and perspectives.

Because Wang Dongqing said it, Tushan Jiu explained that the reason she can calculate so thoroughly is that sometimes she can't just calculate from the ghost's perspective; she also has to calculate the dead, the living, and those about to die—there are many intricacies involved.

Tan Feng wanted to jot down everything Wang Dongqing said in a little notebook, because he is their team's 'assistant'.

Chen Yinghui asked again: "And what about those few of them? They wouldn't be together with Lang Qingfeng......"

When they arrived, only Wang Dongqing was here; he thought the others had gone to control the scene.

Wang Dongqing knew what Chen Yinghui wanted to ask.

He nodded: "Right, they're inside watching Lang Qingfeng use Ma Zhiqiu's body to make a real‑name confession. Let's wait a moment; it should be over soon."

The three: "......"

This trip to Nan Cheng really opened their eyes.

As Wang Dongqing said, not long after, Tushan Jiu came out first from inside, slowly.

At the same time, police cars and ambulances came wailing.

Wang Dongqing glanced, then asked: "What's going on? Reporting the police is normal, but why did an ambulance come too?"

Maomao raised a hand: "I know this; as I was saying, we just caught Lang Qingfeng, right? He said he wanted to bring out all the things that hadn't been exposed before his death, for fear he'd try to destroy them, and then we agreed, didn't we?"

Then Ma Zhiqiu was possessed by Lang Qingfeng, pulled out his ID and corporate livestream account, started a broadcast, and exposed that he'd used spoiled meat to make infant food; before the broadcast even ended, he was beaten up by people eating at a street‑side barbecue stall, now his face is bruised and swollen, and he's still vomiting blood.

I also saw that the address had been flooded on the public screen, with everyone coming to beat him up.

Tan Feng and the others felt their eyelids twitching; this is a blatant violation of the office regulations!

"Aren't you afraid of losing points? If the higher‑ups find out, they'll go crazy."

Upon hearing that, Wang Dongqing laughed and said nonchalantly: "Hey, what's the point of earning points? It's just getting deducted anyway. Besides, just say whether this way of handling things feels good or not."

Bi Yewei: "But......"

Maomao interjected: "What's the problem? Lang Qingfeng isn't exactly a good guy either; he finally wanted to do a good deed before going to the underworld, so we should help him out. Besides, I've watched a lot of detective shows—cases like this would require them to file an investigation, wasting a lot of time, and there are many who try to evade responsibility with money and connections. It's better to do it this way: a live broadcast that instantly exposes all the related suppliers, straightforward, so nobody can run away."

Maomao nodded: "Exactly, I agree."

Xiang Yichu: "Mm, yes."

The three of them, plus one, each said a sentence, leaving the three from Qing Cheng dazed.

Tushan Jiu never spoke.

The three all looked at her in unison.

As it turned out, she was looking down at her phone, completely not taking this matter seriously.

The three from Qing Cheng felt like wailing inside, really wanting to shout out loud.

Points! Those are all points!
