Chapter 159: Department Inspector

Zhang Dashuai brought Luo Dayou into the villa, handed an arrow to Luo Dayou, and said, "Go to the back garden and take a look."

Luo Dayou said with some fear, "Master, I can't do it alone."

Zhang Dashuai immediately took out an ancestral Five-Thunder Divine Talisman and said, "Take this divine talisman, it will keep you safe."

The two separated immediately; Zhang Dashuai walked upstairs, while Luo Dayou headed to the back garden via a small path on the first floor.

Zhang Dashuai searched the second floor but found no trace of the Cat Demon. He came to the balcony, saw Luo Dayou downstairs, and hurriedly said, "Keep looking, the Cat Demon is nearby."

Having said that, Zhang Dashuai walked inside. Meanwhile, Luo Dayou looked toward the surrounding woods in the back garden.

At this moment, the figure of Tian Na appeared in the woods nearby, and she called out softly, "Dayou, come here quickly, Dayou."

Although Luo Dayou already knew some basic Daoist arts, compared to the cultivation of the Cat Demon, it was still not enough.

However, the Cat Demon could only bewitch Luo Dayou, but could not possess his body.

Zhang Dashuai, who was upstairs, suddenly felt a sense of unease, then went downstairs and shouted, "Luo Dayou!"

Luo Dayou appeared immediately and shouted, "Master."

Zhang Dashuai sensed something was wrong at first glance and immediately aimed his bow and arrow at Luo Dayou.

Luo Dayou said in terror, "Master, what are you doing!"

Zhang Dashuai immediately released his grip, and the divine arrow struck a portrait of Tian Na behind Luo Dayou.

"Ah!"

The Tian Na in the portrait let out a painful cry and soon revealed her true form, and the bewitched Luo Dayou also sobered up quite a bit.

Zhang Dashuai immediately shouted, "Divine Arrow!"

The Cat Demon was greatly alarmed and hurriedly summoned a demonic wind, causing both Zhang Dashuai and Luo Dayou to lose their footing.

Zhang Dashuai hurriedly leaned against the wall and said, "Luo Dayou, block the demonic wind!"

Luo Dayou hurriedly got up to block the demonic wind, but seeing Zhang Dashuai about to strike the Cat Demon, he hurriedly blocked him, saying, "Master, she is a human."

Zhang Dashuai was furious and snapped, "Don't be deceived!"

But the next second, Hu Jing broke in with his men, and Tian Na instantly controlled several of them. Hu Jing immediately shouted, "Drop your weapons!"

Seeing these guns, Zhang Dashuai and Luo Dayou had no choice but to surrender.

Zhang Dashuai was extremely anxious; he did not know where Zhang Wei had gone.

At this time, Tian Na, possessed by the Cat Demon, had a triumphant smile on her face and directly transmitted her voice, "As long as I get through tonight, I will recover all my cultivation, and then I will kill you, and then kill your daughter!"

Zhang Dashuai was furious, but he had been controlled by the officers and could not move.

Hu Jing, standing to the side, had a lecherous smile on his face and said, "Miss Tian Na, I will take you to the police station to treat your wounds."

Soon, Hu Jing accompanied Tian Na to a police car and attentively sent her to the back seat.

But the next second, golden light erupted inside the car, and Zhang Wei appeared from the side, casting the Two-Forms Eight-Trigrams Array to trap the Cat Demon within it.

The Cat Demon was covered by the golden light and felt extremely uncomfortable; she could only control the demonic energy within her body to resist the damage from the golden light.

As for the bewitched Hu Jing and the others in the car, they immediately sobered up.

The Cat Demon looked at Hu Jing and immediately bared her fangs and sharp teeth, wanting to take Hu Jing hostage.

Before she could act, Zhang Wei immediately drew his Gold Coin Sword and threw it at the Cat Demon, hitting her left shoulder.

The Cat Demon's right shoulder had already been shot and was already injured; now it was adding insult to injury.

Zhang Dashuai, standing to the side, hurriedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, quickly take my divine bow and divine arrow and shoot her in the heart!"

Zhang Wei immediately took the divine bow and divine arrow from an officer's hand and shot at the Cat Demon's chest.

"Ah!"

The Cat Demon let out a miserable scream, her demonic energy leaked out, and a gale blew up around them. Before long, the Cat Demon died completely, and Tian Na also collapsed inside the car, bleeding from her seven orifices and dying.

Zhang Dashuai said excitedly, "Good, the Cat Demon is resolved!"

Zhang Wei threw the divine bow to Zhang Dashuai and unlocked his handcuffs.

Hu Jing hurriedly walked over and asked, "Inspector Zhang, what is going on here?"

Zhang Wei said calmly, "You don't need to worry about this matter; I will write a report to the higher-ups. However, this matter must be strictly sealed; the public cannot know, or it will cause panic."

Zhang Wei immediately returned to headquarters and wrote this report for Hu Xin.

Now the Ghost-Catching Unit had been renamed, and it was no longer under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor of Hong Kong, but belonged to a department that did not exist on the surface.

Seeing Zhang Wei return, Hu Xin said, "Consultant Zhang, from today on, you are the inspector of this department. Also, I am no longer the chief of this department; from now on, you will manage it."

Zhang Wei was somewhat surprised. Ever since the Divine Wind Cave incident, the foreigners had not been as arrogant, but their underhanded actions behind the scenes had continued.

For example, the reorganization of the Ghost-Catching Unit; people like Jin Maiji had all been transferred away, and now he was the only one left as a lone commander.

After Hu Xin left, Zhang Wei stepped forward to take over all the files of the new department.

Just as he sat down, a phone call came in. The person on the other end said, "Is this Inspector Zhang Wei? A colleague at the Tsim Sha Tsui branch recently encountered a very evil matter. Inspector Zhang is the one specifically in charge of this, so we would like to invite you to investigate."

Zhang Wei replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhang Wei immediately left the empty office and headed to the Tsim Sha Tsui branch.

The two colleagues who encountered the supernatural event this time were named Zuo Lun and Ji Chi.

Zhang Wei arrived at the branch immediately and saw the new person in charge of the branch, Xu Rong, reorganizing her subordinates.

Zhang Wei knocked on the door, attracting everyone's attention.

Xu Rong frowned and said, "Who are you?"

Zhang Wei said calmly, "Inspector Zhang Wei of the Miscellaneous Affairs Division. Headquarters said that Senior Constable Zuo Lun and Constable Ji Chi of your branch need the assistance of our Miscellaneous Affairs Division?"

Sergeant Ji-ge reacted immediately and hurriedly said, "Inspector Xu, this matter was reported to headquarters two days ago."

Xu Rong immediately looked at Zuo Lun and asked, "What matter?"

Zuo Lun immediately said, "Just two days ago, Ji Chi and I went to find Big-Eye Quan to ask him about selling those drugs to students. As a result, I walked away for a moment, and when I came back, I heard people say that Ji Chi had gone up to the rooftop.

I hurriedly went up, but the rooftop door was locked from the inside, and then I saw Ji Chi standing on the edge of the rooftop as if he were going to jump off the building."

Ji Chi followed up by explaining, "I don't know why either, but I'm actually a bit afraid of heights, and then a little girl wearing red shoes appeared beside me and pulled me down."

Zuo Lun said with a lingering fear, "It was truly terrifying at the time; just thinking about it now makes my hair stand on end."

Ji Ge nodded and said, "I reckon it's because the seventh lunar month has arrived, the Ghost Gate is about to open wide, and those lonely spirits and wild ghosts are out causing trouble again."

Xu Rong said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? As police officers, how can you be so superstitious!"

Zhang Wei said immediately, "Officer Xu, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of our Miscellaneous Affairs Department; if you have any questions, you can inquire with headquarters."

Zhang Wei immediately beckoned to Zuo Lun and Ji Chi, "Alright, you two come and tell me the detailed situation."

Zuo Lun and Ji Chi immediately followed Zhang Wei as he left, and Xu Rong said with an annoyed look, "Hmph, I will definitely inquire with headquarters!"

Arriving in another room, Zhang Wei asked in detail about the location and time of the incident.

Zhang Wei smelled Yin energy on the two of them, and he nodded, "I have already understood the situation you described; although it sounds very unscientific, you have indeed encountered something supernatural."

"Generally speaking, after encountering something supernatural, there is a high probability you will encounter it again; I have two Peace Talismans here, you take them first."

Zuo Lun said in surprise, "No way, Inspector, are you moonlighting as a Daoist priest? Can you let me work in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department?"

Zhang Wei shook his head, "With your aptitude, I'm afraid that won't work."

Having said that, he left.

Zuo Lun and Ji Chi had no choice but to return to the office.

Seeing the two return, Xu Rong immediately stepped forward and said, "The matter of Big Eye Quan has already caused quite a stir in the media; if this continues, how are we supposed to answer to the citizens?"

"I'll give you three days; if you still can't find any leads, I will hand this case over to other teams."

Zuo Lun said anxiously, "I've been following this case for a long time."

Xu Rong said decisively, "So what? I need to answer to the citizens, not to you. Instead of complaining here, you'd be better off finding leads sooner."

Zuo Lun had no choice; after all, he was only a Senior Constable, while the person before him was an Inspector, several ranks higher than him.

He had no choice but to use his connections and ask Fei Ji Lian to help him find leads.

Things went very smoothly; he had just told Fei Ji Lian to help him, and by evening, Fei Ji Lian sent a message to his pager.

Zuo Lun immediately took Ji Chi to a foot bath center.

Upon seeing Fei Ji Lian, he immediately asked, "Are you sure it's Big Eye Quan?"

Fei Ji Lian said in a low voice, "Of course I'm sure, I definitely didn't see it wrong."

Ji Chi asked, "I wonder if he's carrying a gun."

Zuo Lun immediately said to Fei Ji Lian, "Find a way to get rid of Big Eye Quan's gun, and there will be plenty of rewards for you."

Fei Ji Lian had no choice but to sneak into Big Eye Quan's private room, and she saw a Black Star pistol wrapped in a towel at the head of the massage bed.

She immediately picked it up, wanting to throw it away, but Big Eye Quan was very alert; he looked back, and Fei Ji Lian was so scared that she accidentally dropped the Black Star pistol.

Big Eye Quan was quick-witted and fast-handed, immediately catching the pistol and taking Fei Ji Lian hostage.

Zuo Lun and Ji Chi outside the door immediately burst in and shouted, "Drop the gun!"

Big Eye Quan knew deep down that if he were caught, something major would happen, so he immediately shouted, "Don't you dare act rashly, or I'll kill her!"

Big Eye Quan grabbed Fei Ji Lian and walked straight out, and Zuo Lun didn't dare to fire, so he had no choice but to follow behind.

The others were unfazed and just kept their heads down doing their own things, while Big Eye Quan pulled Fei Ji Lian straight out of the foot bath shop.

Zuo Lun and Ji Chi immediately followed.

Big Eye Quan, in a panic, pulled Fei Ji Lian into the New Heaven Club.

This club had suffered a major fire a year ago, and more than twenty people were burned to death inside.

And this fire was not an accident, but someone had committed arson, causing the deaths of the people inside.

Big Eye Quan didn't know how he ended up running here, and Zuo Lun and Ji Chi only thought about catching Big Eye Quan, so they followed him in.

As soon as they entered, they found that there were quite a few people inside and the decor was quite nice; Big Eye Quan said in confusion, "This place looks so familiar."

Saying this, he continued to pull Fei Ji Lian and walk further inside.

Zuo Lun and Ji Chi ran in and were blocked by a group of people.

They hurriedly shouted, "Move aside, excuse us, police on duty!"

They shouted for a while, but these people remained indifferent, walking along as if they were alone.

Ji Chi said in surprise, "Are these people drunk? So arrogant, they won't even acknowledge us."

Zuo Lun nodded, feeling very confused.

"Hmm?"

He looked down and discovered that the Peace Talisman in his chest pocket was getting hot.

He hurriedly asked, "Ji Chi, is your Peace Talisman hot?"

Ji Chi reached out to touch his and said in confusion, "Mine is hot too, what's going on?"

Zuo Lun didn't know either; he put it back in his pocket and said, "We'll ask Inspector Zhang later; for now, let's catch Big Eye Quan and take him back."

At this moment, Big Eye Quan pulled Fei Ji Lian into a private room, pointed his gun at the guests, and said, "Take off your clothes, quickly!"

A beautiful woman smiled and said, "Do you need me to take off my clothes?"

Big Eye Quan slapped her directly and barked, "You take them off too!"

The woman tilted her head, stuck out a long tongue to lick the blood from the corner of her mouth, and sneered.

On the other side, Zuo Lun and Ji Chi were still searching for Big Eye Quan room by room, and then in one room, Ji Chi saw quite a few people dancing inside.

Immediately after, he saw the girl who had pulled him off the rooftop that night.

The girl also saw Ji Chi, and she hurriedly mouthed, "Go!"

Ji Chi didn't quite understand and asked in confusion, "Are you calling me? What does that mean?"

Zuo Lun, who was walking in front, saw Ji Chi talking in front of a private room, so he stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ji Chi turned back and said, "I saw that girl."

Zuo Lun stepped forward to take a look and asked, "What girl? There's no one here."

Ji Chi turned his head to look, and the inside was actually empty.

Zuo Lun opened the private room door directly and said, "Where do you see anyone?"

Ji Chi walked in and said, "There was clearly someone here just a moment ago."

Immediately, Ji Chi said with some fear, "Zuo Lun, this place is so eerie; we had better leave quickly."

"Snap!"

The door to the private room suddenly shut.

Now Zuo Lun also felt that something was wrong.

He hurriedly stepped forward to force the door open, but it didn't budge at all.

Ji Chi said anxiously, "Let me open it."

Zuo Lun replied, "I can't even open it, can you?"

Ji Chi stepped forward, pulled the door open, and walked straight out, but the private room door slammed shut again in an instant.

Zuo Lun said in surprise, "How did you do that?"

Ji Chi also had a look of confusion and shook his head, saying, "I don't know either."

Zuo Lun pulled the door with force, but it still wouldn't budge. He immediately shouted, "Ji Chi, come back in."

Ji Chi pulled the door open and walked back in, and Zuo Lun immediately said, "Wait a moment, you open the door, and I'll rush out first."

Afterward, Ji Chi pulled the door, and Zuo Lun rushed straight out, but he rushed too fast and ended up rushing into another private room.

Ji Chi hurriedly opened the door and walked out; he took one look into the private room, was immediately terrified, let out a scream, and ran away.

Zuo Lun steeled himself and turned to look back, and he nearly lost his composure completely.
