One wave has not yet subsided

  I don't quite understand what it means to have taken an interest, but I've always been most afraid of trouble, and this thing is definitely going to be a big hassle.

  Jin Haicheng saw my expression turn ugly and hastily told me that the department specializing in mysterious cases had many monk and Taoist consultants, and some people even worked directly inside, so I didn't have to worry, maybe one day I could become their consultant or something.

  Working for the government, that's an iron rice bowl, and judging from Jin Haicheng's tone, this consultant position seems to be quite prestigious, could it be that I, Jin Hai, still have a chance to become an official?

  If it's really like that, then I'll truly bring honor to the Lao Xu family

  。

  However, there is one more thing that's difficult to handle. I asked Jin Haicheng if he had told anyone else about the worm in my belly, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying that Old Jin was also a man from the mountains who kept his promises, and what he promised would never be broken.

  Ma Jian, who was next to him, also nodded in agreement. He said that no matter how I put it, I had saved their lives. They all knew what could and couldn't be said. Ma Jian also said that the reason why Jin Haicheng specially asked me to make a statement was that he was afraid I would reveal something by mistake.

  To be honest, when I first heard that Jin Haicheng and Ma Jian had sold me out, I was still a bit angry. But the two of them can maintain this for me, it's not bad to have gone through life and death together. Think about it carefully, those people in these organizations must also have many difficulties, it's not easy.

  "Brother Jin, after going through that ordeal together, we can be considered as having a deep and abiding friendship. Whatever you want to know, just tell me and I'll keep it confidential, I'm Xiao Xu." I said directly to Jin Haicheng.

  Jin Haicheng fell silent for a moment: "Xiao Xu, the top wants to ask what that worm is all about. To be honest with you, in my hometown's village, there are also several people who raise Gu, but I've never heard them say that there's a Gu worm that can cause a corpse to move."

  "Jin Ge, all I can say is that I think it's a Gu insect, but I don't know what kind of Gu it is either. Just like you said, I've never heard of any Gu insects being used on corpses before."

  I only said half of what I meant, and my judgment that the thing was a Gu insect is mainly based on the fact that Long Jiao sucked it into a dry insect. Based on my interactions with Long Jiao over the past few days, I found that it only preys on Gu insects and has no interest in ordinary insects.

  I thought for a moment and said, "Jin Ge, the thing in the Taiping Interment is definitely related to Zhou Li's gang. You can report it to the top, that Zhou Li is actually a black rice person, and Wu Zha has a deep relationship with the black rice people."

  The witchcraft of the Black Miao is very evil and rarely seen, I reckon that the corpse-raising bug is what they use to control their underlings.

  Jin Haicheng looked at me deeply, then wrote down everything I said.

  I thought I'd have to stay in the detention house for another day or two, but Jin Haicheng left the interrogation room and came back less than half an hour later, bringing with him the things that were taken away from me when I entered the police station.

  "Xiao Xu, remember my number." Jinhai Cheng handed me my phone and then told me his number.

  "Brother Jin, are you sending me home now?" I opened my mobile phone to save Jin Haicheng's number and found several text messages from Dog Genzi.

  "Well, it seems that the idea over there is similar to yours. I hope we will put in great effort to monitor Zhou Li's drug trafficking gang next and should be able to lock down the suspects. Of course, as I said at the beginning, we invited you just to understand the situation and also to fool the higher-ups." Jin Haicheng smiled and patted my shoulder.

  I finally got my freedom back, I politely declined Jin Haicheng's offer to send me home and walked out of the Municipal Public Security Bureau alone.

  After leaving the police station, I called Dog Root.

  This kid looks like he hasn't woken up yet, and his voice is also mumbling unclearly.

  I asked Dog Root why he called me so many times, and as soon as he heard my voice, he immediately became sober.

  Gou Genzi was shouting on the phone, Xu Ge, how did you get caught by the police?

  It wasn't until now that I remembered I was able to get out of the police station, and it seemed like I owed it to Dog Root for testifying on my behalf.

  Gou Genzi said he was pulled out of bed by police from Wenshan in the middle of the night, asking if I was with him last week. He thought something had happened to me in Kunming, but no matter how he asked the police, they wouldn't say anything. So Gou Genzi could only call me every hour, unfortunately, my phone was always turned off.

  It's really good brother, Dog Root is so concerned about me, I'm a bit touched in my heart, and I quickly told him it's nothing serious, just that the store sold some contraband stuff and was checked by the authorities.

  I didn't tell Dog Root the truth, not because I don't trust him, but what happened in the past two days is really unbelievable, no need to get him involved.

  。

  Dog Root listened to my explanation and immediately felt at ease: "Hey, it's just a small matter, I thought it was something big. Brother Xu, there are many people doing medicinal materials now, it's not easy to make money, since the public is investigating, let them investigate, we might as well take a break for a while."

  I laughed and scolded: "You little brat, you can talk big because you have other means of making a living, but I don't. If I don't sell medicine, what am I supposed to do, go out and catch the northwest wind?"

  "Xu Ge, there are many ways to make money." Dog Genzi suddenly lowered his voice on the phone. "If you really want to make money, follow me and do business together. If we make a profit, we'll split it 50/50. If we lose, I'll take the loss."

  I guessed that Dog Root had a lucrative business, but he looked quite mysterious. He wanted to pull me in and specify that it was for my own good, this friendship I remembered, and to be honest, I was really moved. As Dog Root said, the medicine material business has indeed become more difficult to do in the past six months, with intense competition and no profit, and I myself have thought about changing careers.

  "So, Dog Root, let me think for a few days and then get in touch with you. By the way, I'll also deal with the inventory of my current store." Even if I don't change my line of work, I still have to take care of these things. Someone died at the storefront, and it was that kind of brutal death, so the news must have spread like wildfire in the market. Sooner or later, I'll have to deal with this storefront anyway.

  "No problem, I'll wait for your news." Dog Root also gave me a few phone numbers, saying they were his friends in Kunming, and that the transfer of the storefront and handling of medicinal materials might come in handy.

  I turned off my phone and headed to where I lived, but on the way, I passed by Xinhua Bookstore and went in to buy two reference books for studying ancient texts, because I wanted to carefully study the book that my master left me.

  Firstly, my master had instructed me to practice diligently before we parted ways. Secondly, after experiencing these events, I think it's better for me to learn some Taoist magic. At least next time when I encounter something like a zombie, I won't have to be so desperate.

  I think that's just the beginning of what's going on between me and those Black Miao people.

  I returned to the rented house, and several residents on the floor deliberately avoided me. The eyes looking at me also carried a hint of inexplicable contempt and some fear. Those relatives behind me whispered secretly, no need to think about it, they must be talking about my being caught by the police two days ago.

  A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and there are many people in the city who love to wag their tongues. I smiled at them with my mouth open, revealing the signature expression of those psychopathic killers from TV dramas. Sure enough, they were scared out of their wits and hurriedly closed their doors and went home.

  。

  I can no longer stay in this place, I should move out when the rent is due. I pushed open the door of my room and saw a mess all over the floor, suddenly feeling a little heartbroken.

  It's been a few years since I left home, and I've been struggling alone in this unfamiliar big city of Kunming. As a result, all my efforts over the past few years have gone down the drain due to an unexpected disaster. Is it really true what Master said, that my destiny as a Tianyi nobleman is not suitable for struggling in the mundane world?

  I tidied up the house and slept for a whole day with my head buried, and on the second day I lifted my spirits and started to study carefully the book that Master left me.

  With the help of Long Xiaoguang's modified body, I have a great memory. I can read books quickly, and it only took me five days to finish this thick book. Although I didn't learn too much, at least I remembered most of it, and I'll understand it slowly later on.

  On the sixth day, I contacted a friend of Dog Genzi's to sell off the shop in Shijiu Village. As soon as he heard my name, he said that Dog Genzi's big brother was his big brother too, and things were almost settled, so we could finalize everything today.

  I didn't expect that the dog would have already greeted the other party, which saved me a lot of trouble. I met with the buyer at the store and honestly told him about the death that had occurred there. To my surprise, he wasn't bothered by it, saying that he originally had two storefronts in Shijiu Village and was buying mine to use as a warehouse, so he didn't care about those things. He also took all the remaining medicine at my store.

  The store was sold for 1.5 million, which is much higher than I expected, and I don't know how Dog Root's friend negotiated with the seller. I transferred all of the 1.5 million to my family and kept 300,000 yuan in savings on hand.

  What should I do in the future?

  My friend, Dog Root, refused to accept the commission, so I invited him out for a meal. The two of us drank nearly two cases of beer. In all my years in Kunming, this was the first time I'd let loose like that while drinking, and as a result, I have no idea how I made it back home. However, after sleeping for less than two hours, I had basically sobered up. After waking up, I started boiling water to drink.

  It seems that after having a child, my drinking capacity has also increased a lot. This little guy is really amazing.

  I was sitting on the sofa in a daze when I heard the "bang, bang, bang" of knocking at the door outside. The voice was neither fast nor slow and very rhythmic.
