Chapter 173: Let's Sleep Together

At 1:30 in the morning, Zou Guoming (Seeing Datou), soaked through, entered the Dark Star Bureau building and found Sun Haoran, who was on duty.

Like Light Bulb, Sun Haoran was also a newcomer to the security team, but the two's situations were completely different.

Sun Haoran was gifted, quick-witted, and deeply appreciated; he was the rising star of the Dark Star Bureau.

His nickname was "Star," which was several grades higher than Light Bulb.

Seeing Seeing Datou in a sorry state, Sun Haoran hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Brother Ming, what happened?"

Zou Guoming wiped his face and said: "I found Hu Lishan."

"Hu Lishan?" Sun Haoran couldn't quite remember.

Zou Guoming glanced at Sun Haoran.

There were some things Sun Haoran would never forget, such as what wine Captain Xiao liked to drink and what cigarettes Captain Chen liked to smoke.

There were some things Sun Haoran often couldn't remember, such as what cases were on hand.

"The female college student who disappeared in Huahu Park two days ago, I found her."

"The female college student in Huahu Park! I've been too busy lately, I forgot. Where is she? How is her mental state? Do we need to take a statement immediately?" Sun Haoran deliberately rubbed his forehead; actually, he still hadn't remembered, but he had to put on a show.

Seeing Datou waved his hand: "No need for a statement. I didn't find a living person; it's a corpse. Find someone to salvage it."

"A corpse?" Sun Haoran was startled. "Brother Ming, how did you find it?"

"Watch surveillance, find traces. It's not clear here; we'll talk when we get to the scene."

Sun Haoran nodded: "I'll notify the two captains immediately."

Seeing Datou asked Sun Haoran to find someone to salvage the corpse, but Sun Haoran thought of contacting the captains first.

It's no wonder people like this are destined to be stars.

Late at night, Li Banfeng crawled out from under the quilt and put on his clothes, feeling refreshed.

Naturally, he had to do what he promised Yao Lao. Li Banfeng ate, drank, and slept with Yu Nan.

Yao Lao's words made a lot of sense; two people squeezing together to sleep was indeed warm.

But Yu Nan hadn't fallen asleep the whole time.

Because Li Banfeng did nothing but sleep!

He just kept sleeping like that and did nothing!

Watching Li Banfeng's receding back, Yu Nan covered her mouth and sobbed.

Li Banfeng placed the Intestinal-Rolling Silkworm in front of Qin Tianjiu.

He had told him the pros and cons; it was up to him to make his own choice.

Qin Tianjiu didn't even think about it, picked up the Intestinal-Rolling Silkworm, and swallowed it with Yao Lao's medicinal wine: "Seventh Brother, what you give me must be good. I, Qin Tianjiu, will always remember this favor.

Even if I can't handle this good thing, it's because my fortune is thin and my life is short, and I deserve this tribulation. It definitely can't be blamed on Seventh Brother!"

Li Banfeng nodded: "With this courage, you are someone who can accomplish things."

After chatting for a while, Qin Xiaopang Qin talked about the news received by the Three Heroes Sect:

"Lu Dongjun hasn't made any moves. Many people say he's dead. According to our Copper Seal, Old Master Lu, Lu Maoxian, made it clear, saying Lu Dongjun was killed by Monkey Qiu."

Li Banfeng asked: "Did Monkey Qiu admit it?"

"He definitely couldn't admit it! No matter how big the disturbance, Monkey Qiu shouldn't have killed a Lu family member. Monkey Qiu bit back, saying this matter was done by Lu Maoxian. The two families seem to be about to fight, and our two Golden Seals have also gotten involved."

"Where are they fighting? Green Water City or Sea-Eating Ridge?"

"I heard it's still in Green Water City, but there's also trouble at Sea-Eating Ridge. This is what I heard from Sixth Brother Zhang.

After Lu Dongjun left, the business at Sea-Eating Ridge was taken over by the He family and the Ling family. They didn't divide the spoils evenly, and it seems they are also about to use force."

The Ling family?

When did the Ling family get involved in the Sea-Eating Ridge affair?

Qin Xiaopang continued: "At Sea-Eating Ridge, large and small gangs are all preparing to take action. The Azure Cloud Society is standing on the He family's side, and the Hundred Flower Sect is occupying the Ling brothers."

"What about the Jiang Xiang Gang?"

Qin Xiaopang looked disdainful: "What is the Jiang Xiang Gang? In such a big scene, how could it be their turn?"

"Which side is your Three Heroes Sect standing on?"

"The First Master is closer to the He family, and the Second Master and Third Master are closer to the Ling family.

But our Silver Badge said, business is business, and friendship is friendship. When it really comes to taking action, what the situation will be is another matter.

There is also a grievance that I heard is about to be settled. Monkey Qiu sent a letter to the Second Miss of the Chu family a few days ago, telling her to hand over the Hundred Joy Gate within a month.

The Second Miss of the Chu family said that the Hundred Joy Gate is operated by her and the Fifth Young Master of the Ma family together, and this matter needs to be discussed with the Fifth Young Master of the Ma family. The Fifth Young Master of the Ma family, we have also met him, at the Peddler's place, that Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master..."

Halfway through speaking, Qin Xiaopang was sweating profusely and couldn't go on.

"What happened to the Fifth Young Master?" Li Banfeng's most worried thing happened; that mad woman Chu Er had brought disaster upon them.

"Seventh Brother, I, I'll eat something..." Qin Xiaopang wiped his sweat and picked up a pancake to chew.

Not long after, two pounds of pancakes were in his stomach, and Qin Xiaopang had some strength. He said to Li Banfeng: "I still have leftovers in the pot. I'll heat them up, and we brothers will eat together..."

Li Banfeng shook his head: "I won't eat. You tell me about the Fifth Young Master first. I think it's quite interesting."

"The Fifth Young Master hasn't made any moves yet, and I don't know where he is. The Second Miss of the Chu family has moved into Blue Poplar Village. She's not leaving!"

Monkey Qiu was furious. He said he wanted to settle the Blue Poplar Village account together. Blue Poplar Village is also Lu family territory. Ma Wu snatched Blue Poplar Village, and this matter hasn't been greeted with the Lu family yet..."

Li Banfeng saw Qin Xiaopang wiping sweat continuously; he shouldn't have eaten his fill.

He left Qin Xiaopang one hundred big foreign dollars and urged Qin Xiaopang not to starve himself.

Out of the courtyard, Li Banfeng went to Feng's Grocery Store.

There was still no news about the travel permit. Li Banfeng bought some canned food, biscuits, fuel, and machine oil.

Everything was ready. Li Banfeng returned to the Suishenju, placed the items, and was just about to set off when he suddenly discovered that the door to the outer room was open.

Entering the door, the Red Lotus petals opened, and two lotus seeds were refined.

Holding the lotus seeds in his palm, watching them slowly burst, the first lotus seed burst out ninety-eight Golden Origin Pills.

This was Pan De's heart flesh.

A complete Lu Dongliang burst out eighty-one Golden Origin Pills, and a piece of Pan De's heart flesh could burst out ninety-eight?

Was the quality of the two so different?

The second lotus seed that burst out produced thirty-six Golden Origin Pills.

The Drenched Monster, with a cultivation base of less than five layers, burst out Golden Origin Pills only two fewer than the eight-layer Lady Suoe. This native alien species was truly not simple.

There were also the sixty Golden Origin Pills left over from Lu Dongliang's side, adding up to a total of one hundred and ninety-four.

These Golden Origin Pills meant nineteen thousand four hundred days of time, which converted to fifty-one years and more than a month.

Li Banfeng had an impulse; he suddenly wanted to eat all the Golden Origin Pills in one breath!

Because as long as he ate them, he would become an eight-layer cultivator!

He had Blue Leaf Pills, although the number of Blue Leaf Pills was slightly less, with one hundred and fifty-eight left, but this little difference, in terms of proportion, didn't count for much.

At first, Li Banfeng just calculated casually.

After calculating for a while, he got carried away.

Eight-layer cultivator!

Having stayed in Puluo Continent for a long time, he knew what the concept of an eight-layer cultivator was.

He held the elixir in his hands, his eyes shining with gold, and was just about to stuff it into his mouth when a whirlwind flew out of the copper lotus, stopping Li Banfeng.

This madman who was courting death!

No one could figure out what he actually wanted to do!

Blown by the copper lotus, Li Banfeng also sobered up.

Indeed, he couldn't eat them all. He was at the third layer of residential cultivation, and the traveling cultivation was also at the third layer.

Once the traveling cultivation promoted to the eighth layer, if the residential cultivation didn't promote, wouldn't he just die suddenly?

After calming down, Li Banfeng paired it with a Blue Lan Lan Ye Dan, ate one Jin Yuandan first, and after his body recovered, he hurried toward Blue Poplar Village along the New Land route.

By the lake in Huahu Park, relevant personnel were salvaging the corpse.

Xiao Zhenggong didn't look down on such a small case; he didn't come to the scene. Sun Haoran was reporting work to Captain Chen:

"I checked the surveillance footage of the scene with investigator Zou Guoming and found several ignored details. I found Hu Lishan's abandoned gloves by the lake and found Hu Lishan's corpse following this clue..."

Light Bulb spat to the side: "Truly shameless. It was Seeing Datou Brother who found the corpse. He's just a messenger, and he doesn't even know how to blush when claiming credit!"

Seeing Datou smiled and said: "Forget it, forget it. Closing the case is the proper thing; whose credit it is isn't important."

Sun Haoran was still reporting the process of solving the case. Captain Chen listened with a smile, and Tang Yuan was taking notes seriously.

After he finished reporting, Captain Chen nodded: "Worthy of being the star in our bureau. This case was handled so neatly."

Tang Yuan nodded from the side: "The star's future is limitless."

Sun Haoran smiled modestly: "It's all Brother Ming leading me. Being able to find Hu Lishan's corpse is all thanks to Brother Ming's rich experience. I was just a helper by his side.

The seniors in our team take good care of me. Needless to say about Captain Chen and Captain Xiao, Sister Xuehan and Brother Ming are also especially good to me."

You Xuehan (Tang Yuan) didn't make a sound.

Whether in private or on formal occasions, Sun Haoran often flirted with You Xuehan.

You Xuehan also appreciated this sunny, handsome, and actively progressive junior brother, but she always felt that his behavior today was somewhat inappropriate.

Seeing Datou was the big brother in the team; Sun Haoran shouldn't have snatched his credit.

Captain Chen didn't express his attitude either. He smoked a cigarette and looked at Seeing Datou Zou Guoming meaningfully.

Seeing Datou was chatting with Light Bulb, as if he didn't take the attribution of credit to heart at all.

It was just handling a disappearance case, which indeed couldn't be counted as a great merit for the Dark Star Bureau.

But Old Chen always felt there was a trace of something wrong with the matter, yet he couldn't see where the problem was.

After the corpse was salvaged, Zou Guoming said he was too tired these past two days and requested a week off. Captain Chen approved it and handed all of Hu Lishan's case to Sun Haoran.

Sun Haoran was very excited.

Light Bulb was very annoyed. He drove Seeing Datou home and complained the whole way:

"Seeing Datou Brother, why are you taking time off at this time? Isn't this clearly wanting to benefit that kid? Aren't you afraid he'll climb over your head in the future?"

Seeing Datou shook his head and smiled: "He'll climb over my head sooner or later. People know how to conduct themselves; I'm just someone who knows how to do things."

"I truly can't look down on him being so drilling..." Light Bulb was still complaining. Seeing Datou cast his gaze toward the Western-style house in the park.

Hu Lishan's case wasn't important; what was important was that he had seen the New Land for the first time in his life.

He had never been to Puluo Continent. The New Land was a place only Puluo Continent had, and now he had seen it in the Outer Continent.

Hu Lishan's corpse was found by He Jiaqing in the New Land.

All the traces by the lake were forged by He Jiaqing.

Whose credit it was wasn't important. Pushing this to Sun Haoran was a better choice. As long as Hu Lishan's case was closed, the matter of the New Land wouldn't be exposed.

In the Dark Star Bureau, Seeing Datou was destined to be an investigator for a lifetime.

The person who could truly change his destiny had already appeared.

PS: What method did He Jiaqing use to conquer Seeing Datou?
