Chapter 87: Sakai

Because Inspector Ke also agreed, Chen Jiang and Mao Xiaofang came to the police station, and Inspector Ke had his subordinate Zhong Bang assist them.

This man Zhong Bang did not believe in Taoist priests like Chen Jiang and Mao Xiaofang; he believed in science.

So he said confidently, "Actually, I can investigate this case by myself, and I have already found a lead."

Chen Jiang was also a young man and naturally would not indulge Zhong Bang; he waved his hand and said, "Alright, just follow us."

"Daoist Master Mao, let's go to Fei'e Mountain and take a look."

Their group soon arrived at Fei'e Mountain, and both Chen Jiang and Mao Xiaofang were holding compasses to search.

Zhong Bang laughed, "I think you won't be able to find anything holding those things."

Chen Jiang ignored Zhong Bang; he looked at Mao Xiaofang and asked, "Taoist Master Mao, what do you think that ghost shadow is?"

Mao Xiaofang pondered for a moment and said, "This kind of ghost shadow is different from ordinary ghosts. He likely encountered an accident before he could finish what he needed to do."

"As long as the ghost shadow doesn't move, it's hard for us to discover it; it is indeed somewhat difficult to deal with."

As they spoke, they soon arrived in front of an abandoned villa.

Zhong Bang immediately said, "This is the lead I found; Sakai and his subordinates were last here."

He saw a saber on the table, so he stepped forward and picked it up.

But a man burst in directly, trying to snatch the saber, and was subdued by Zhong Bang.

Zhong Bang recognized at a glance that this person was the Matsuda from the group photo.

He stepped forward and said, "Speak quickly, where is Sakai?"

Matsuda immediately shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

Zhong Bang sneered, "You're still playing dumb with me? Look at this photo, you are in the position on the left!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sakai's ghost shadow rushed in.

Fortunately, Chen Jiang was prepared; he took out a Eight Trigrams Mirror and shone it, knocking Sakai's ghost shadow flying.

But Sakai's ghost shadow disappeared in an instant.

Mao Xiaofang immediately warned, "Careful!"

Chen Jiang immediately chanted, "Swiftly, like the law! Reveal your form!"

He swept the Eight Trigrams Mirror around the surroundings but still did not discover Sakai's whereabouts.

He said in surprise, "This is impossible; Uncle Sheng's magic treasure shouldn't have any problems."

Mao Xiaofang alerted him, "Behind the pillar!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sakai rushed out, kicked Zhong Bang away, grabbed Matsuda, and smashed through the wall to the side.

He grabbed Matsuda and demanded, "Matsuda, why did you not remain loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Matsuda hurriedly begged for mercy, "Major Sakai, spare me!"

Sakai roared in anger, "Where is my corpse? Speak quickly!"

Matsuda kept begging for mercy, while Chen Jiang, having regained his senses, immediately drew his Seven-Star Copper Sword and attacked.

Sakai sensed the threat, instantly crushed Matsuda's heart, and rushed out.

It dodged Chen Jiang's Seven-Star Copper Sword repeatedly, then swung its blade at Mao Xiaofang.

Mao Xiaofang immediately pulled Zhong Bang and A-Fan back, then drew out a magic paper and threw it, repelling Sakai.

Taking advantage of this moment, Mao Xiaofang took out more Ghost-Suppressing Charms and rapidly closed in on Sakai.

Seeing Sakai forced back against the wall, Chen Jiang threw his Seven-Star Copper Sword directly, pinning Sakai's ghost shadow to the wall.

"Ah!"

Sakai struggled and screamed for a while, and before long, it vanished.

Chen Jiang gave a cold laugh, then pulled out the Seven-Star Copper Sword and said, "Alright, the matter is resolved."

Zhong Bang, who was to the side, then said, "So there really are things like this in the world."

A-Fan replied, "Of course, it's not too late now that you know."

The group immediately left the villa, and as for Matsuda's corpse, it was also taken back.

Upon learning that the ghost shadow had been resolved, Yu Dahai immediately breathed a sigh of relief; he happily announced that he would host a victory banquet.

Inspector Ke was also very happy, framing the dead Matsuda as the murderer, with Zhong Bang as the detective who shot the murderer dead.

Zhang Cheng naturally knew the matter was not yet resolved, but he did not intervene; after all, this was a trial arranged for Chen Jiang.

However, to avoid any problems for the children at school, and since Lin Zhengfeng and Zhong Fabai were at the age to start learning, he sent the two of them to Yu Bixin.

Zhang Cheng explained to Yu Bixin, "Sigh, their studies were delayed previously due to the war, and I feel very ashamed in my heart."

"I also heard from others that you, Teacher Yu, are a top student, so I thought of sending the children to you for their schooling."

"When the world is peaceful in the future, children will have no future without an education."

Yu Bixin agreed wholeheartedly, "Mr. Zhang, you are absolutely right; the world of the future will indeed need people with knowledge."

Zhang Cheng smiled, "Teacher Yu, I will have to trouble you with these two children."

Yu Bixin nodded slightly and replied, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will take good care of them."

Zhang Cheng gave the two children a look and then left.

Yu Bixin squatted down kindly and said to Lin Zhengfeng and Zhong Fabai, "Teacher will take you to meet your classmates, alright?"

Zhong Fabai said irritably, "Teacher, don't be so childish."

Lin Zhengfeng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "A-Bai, you must respect your teacher!"

Zhong Fabai thought to himself that if he couldn't beat him, he wouldn't pay him any mind. Thinking this, he apologized to Yu Bixin, "I'm sorry, Teacher."

Yu Bixin said apologetically, "Teacher was also in the wrong; how about this, we get to know each other slowly?"

Lin Zhengfeng nodded and said, "Teacher, please take us to meet our classmates."

Yu Bixin took the two of them into the school and introduced them to the other children; she said, "Oh right, there is also Xiao Zun; he is at the hospital, and we will be able to see him tomorrow."

After speaking, she arranged seats for the two of them and then began the lecture.

After class, Xingguanzai, who liked to bully classmates, saw the newcomers Lin Zhengfeng and Zhong Fabai, so he brought his lackeys over and said, "Hey, you two need to call me Big Brother."

Zhong Fabai looked at Lin Zhengfeng, but Lin Zhengfeng kept his head lowered as if he had heard nothing.

Zhong Fabai let out a laugh, grabbed Xingguanzai's arm, and gave it a twist, causing him to yelp in pain.

Only then did Lin Zhengfeng say, "A Bai, what are you doing?"

Zhong Fabai released Xingguanzai and asked in confusion, "You—"

Lin Zhengfeng said sternly, "How can you bully a classmate?"

Zhong Fabai was stunned and hurriedly said, "I—"

Lin Zhengfeng immediately said, "Why don't you apologize yet?"

Just then, Yu Bixin heard the noise and walked in, asking, "What happened?"

Xingguanzai hurriedly ran in front of Yu Bixin and said, "Teacher, he twisted my arm!"

Zhong Fabai glared at Lin Zhengfeng and said, "Teacher, he told me to call him Big Brother, so I was just testing his skills."

Yu Bixin immediately said, "Hitting people is wrong; if there is an issue, you can come to the teacher."

"Xingguanzai, how many times has the teacher told you? You've learned your lesson this time, right?"

"Neither of you is allowed to have a next time."

Lin Zhengfeng hurriedly chimed in, "Teacher, don't worry, I will keep A Bai in line."

Only then did Yu Bixin leave, feeling reassured.

Zhong Fabai snorted and said, "Wow, why are you so bad, acting like a good person in front of the teacher?"

Lin Zhengfeng smiled and said, "I'm just making you behave yourself."

As he spoke, he looked at Xingguanzai, and Xingguanzai hurriedly scurried further away.

Zhong Fabai ignored that Xingguanzai; he walked up to Lin Zhengfeng and said, "What did Uncle Sheng mean?"

Lin Zhengfeng said casually, "Why do you care so much? You're still a kid, just focus on your studies."

Zhong Fabai muttered under his breath and returned to his seat.
