Seeing my surprised expression, Xu Chengcheng knew that I would be surprised by what happened to the task force, so he asked me to sit down, poured me a glass of water, and showed me the red-headed document signed by the leader.
This document is ten pages long, and is actually full of high-sounding nonsense and empty words. The only really useful thing is the seven lines on the last page, which explains the need to establish a task force, introduces the members of the task force, and even... The funds for handling the case are only a pitiful 150,000 yuan...
I closed the red-headed document, threw it to Xu Chengcheng, and said: "This is just a face-saving project, ten pages of documents, nine pages of nonsense, the office space is not enough for four of us brothers, and the funding is only 150,000. To tell you the truth, the two of us will need at least 100,000 yuan to go to Thailand this time. What about the future? Damn it, you just let the horses run and don’t even let them eat grass!"
After I finished complaining, I turned my head, looking very angry, and turned my face to Xu Chengcheng, deliberately embarrassing him.
"Junior brother, listen to me, don't be so childish first!"
I ignored him and still sat there with a disdainful look on my face. It gave people the impression of being cold and cold.
Xu Chengcheng had no choice but to say sincerely: "Actually, the director is under great pressure in arranging this task force. Since the founding of our country, there has not been any supernatural department. In the past few decades, our behavior It is the Four Old Concepts, which belongs to the category of feudal superstition. As for why the director agreed to establish this department, it was also due to the weird cases I have solved over the years. Junior Brother, can you just be a helper? The funds are small, Senior Brother Fill it in, I won’t let you suffer any loss.”
I turned around and Di Sheng took out two cards and said to me: "This yellow Agricultural Bank of China Golden Harvest Card contains 150,000 yuan, which is the case handling funds of the task force; this green Postal Bank Pass Card, It’s my salary card, it hasn’t been touched in three years, and it contains 370,000 yuan.”
After finishing speaking, he took the photo in front of me and said a meaningful sentence, "Yang Sheng, we cannot do without you to promote Taoism. Whether our Ji Dao sect can flourish depends on the efforts of our brothers and sisters alone. It must be assisted by the help of you." With the power of the government, we must do a good job in this special operation! Don't worry, the money will be there, as will the identity and status. I need you to handle Zhuorong Group's case. Guangyao Menlin, you also You need me and the government’s help. Junior brother!”
After Xu Chengcheng finished speaking, he cast an expectant look at me, waiting for my answer. Of course, the choice is mine. If I agree to him, he will definitely work harder. If I choose to refuse, that is my choice, Xu Chengcheng Will also respect it.
However, his words are very convincing. It is indeed a legal society now. Not many people believe in the Taoist Yin and Yang theory that we have. Even if our actions this time cannot bring about the popularity of the Ji Dao sect, they can indeed It will provide a lot of convenience for us to deal with supernatural events or attack opponents in the future. It can be said that it has both advantages and disadvantages. How could I not be tempted!
So, I pushed the two bank cards to him and said, "Brother, keep the money. After all, you are the leader of our task force. When you go out to take action, I will listen to you."
Seeing that I agreed, Xu Chengcheng couldn't help being happy and said to me gratefully: "No, although I am your senior brother and the leader of the task force, you still have to make the decision. You are the head of our Ji Dao Sect. You are also the smartest among the brothers. Even if you are in charge, I will obey you unconditionally."
"Unconditional obedience! This is what you said." I pointed at him and asked jokingly.
Xu Chengcheng smiled and didn't answer. I didn't say anything else and asked again, "Did the office only apply for visas for the two of us?"
"Yes, that's right, but don't worry, we have arranged for a tour guide who can speak Thai to stay at the Bangkok hotel in advance and wait for us to arrive."
The official was so thoughtful. He even arranged for our translator. I thought that we wouldn't have to worry about our food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily life.
"So, what about that murderous cat? What are your plans?" I asked again.
Xu Chengcheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. Now that the clues have been found, the identity and cause of death of the dead female middle school student have been revealed! I don't know where to start?"
"This is easy to handle. Don't let them continue to search for cats. Cats are different from people. Cats have no identity information and cannot be found. You ask your two followers to cooperate with Geng Biaobiao and Li Huhu to check more Once we find out what that girl liked to do during her lifetime, since her death looks so much like a tow truck accident, it might have something to do with cats, and it is very possible that she died after intercepting a cat truck."
I thought about it and continued: "In this case, you can also let Geng Biaobiao try the Talisman tracking technique. Fifth Junior Brother can do it. We have a broken cat tail, so we can find some clues. However, they I don't feel at ease with the work, so I told them to only collect clues and not act without authorization. We will wait until we both come back from Thailand."
Xu Chengcheng agreed and was about to make a call when I stopped him, "There's something I forgot. Li Huhu's temper refuses to be obeyed by anyone. You are his senior brother. Just say it was you who said it and let him listen to Lao Wu." To save him from causing trouble."
The call was dialed, and Xu Chengcheng followed my instructions and called all four of them, Xuan Sheng, Huang Sheng, A Hao and A Qiang. After he had arranged everything, I asked him when he would set off.
What I didn't expect was that he never mentioned flying out of the country, but asked me to go with him to Shangshan, Shaanxi Province first, to find a Taoist master. I don't know his real name or Taoist name, I only know that outsiders call him Shangshan Taoist.
"Taoist priest Shangshan?" I was confused.
It was another night of driving. Xu Chengcheng and I, as the two bosses of the task force, had not been drivers during the whole journey, but a young man who drove hard and hard. He drove for thirteen hours. We had dinner and set off at one o'clock in the afternoon to the foot of Shang Mountain. He didn't rest the whole way.
According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Law, driving a motor vehicle for four consecutive hours is considered fatigue driving, and the driver must take a mandatory rest of twenty minutes every four hours. But this young man was a different kind of guy. Except for an hour in the middle when we stopped at the service area to have a meal and refuel, he never rested during the whole journey until we arrived at our destination.
He just flattened the driver's seat and took a nap to replenish his physical strength. I really admire the physique of the people of the past. He can drive the car for a long time without taking a rest. What a strong mental strength it must have!
As soon as Xu Chengcheng and I got out of the car, a young Taoist priest came over and said to us: "Two Taoist brothers, Master has invited us!"
"Master, who is your master? How did you know we were coming?" I asked.
Before the little Taoist priest could reply, Xu Chengcheng snatched the words away, "Is your master a Taoist priest from Shangshan? Did Director Qi Weidong say hello in advance that we are coming?"
The little Taoist priest replied: "This Taoist brother is right, but the time of your arrival was calculated by the master himself."
I calculated it myself. It seems that this Shangshan Taoist priest is an expert.
"You two, please come this way!" The little Taoist priest led the two of us to the Three Religions Palace and said, "Master is waiting in the hall. You two, please."
"Thank you!" Xu Chengcheng and I thanked him and entered the hall.
An old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit with a side-parted hair and gray hair was sitting cross-legged meditating with his back to the statue. When he saw the two of us coming in, he stretched out his left hand to signal, "You two young fellow Taoists, please sit down."
Xu Chengcheng and I sat on a futon and crossed our legs.
"Qi Weitong has already told me that you came to me. If you want to go to Thailand to track Keba, the great bow-head master, you must be careful, because what you will face is not just a bow-head master. There are many, and it is hard to guard against them. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble if you encounter evil spirits. "
After Taoist Shangshan finished speaking, Xu Chengcheng said to me: "Senior has stayed in Nanyang for twenty years and has contacts with many sects of Jiangtou masters there. It will be beneficial for us to go to Thailand to listen to his advice."
I didn't say anything, and Taoist Shangshan continued: "The origin of the head-lowering technique is from the ethnic minorities in the border areas of Yunnan, China. It was originally called Gu. Now the medicinal liquid used by the head-lowering masters to refine the head-lowering medicine is collectively called Gu medicine. Later, it is said that When you arrive in Nanyang, it’s time to call for head-dropping. There are many types of head-dropping. I’ve heard that you have eliminated several head-dropping masters and destroyed many head-dropping masters, but those are just childish. The truly powerful head-dropping You haven’t seen it yet, so I’d like to remind you a few of you!”
I said to myself: "This old Taoist priest is really loud. I guess he doesn't know that my other two brothers and I have killed corpse witches. The great master Keba not only lost the battle with us, but One of my two apprentices was surrendered by me, and he himself was seriously injured. You must know that Keba is one of the best head-lowering masters in Nanyang. If his head-lowering skills are second-rate, then he can use first-class head-lowering techniques. The only master who has surrendered his head is Zhao Tielong? Is it true that Zhao Tielong is the only one who can penetrate the eyes of this old Taoist priest?"
As soon as I finished teasing Taoist Shangshan in my heart, he sensed my disrespect, looked at me and said: "This little Taoist friend has some cultivation, but you are too arrogant, and you will definitely be troubled by your today in the future. You must pay the price for your madness. Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking. Since you doubt me, I won’t say anything anymore! You two, please go back.”
Seeing that Taoist priest Shangshan was angry, Xu Chengcheng quickly apologized and said to me: "Yang Sheng, you can't be rude to senior. He is helping us. Apologize to the Taoist priest quickly."
After he finished speaking, he quickly let go of his crossed legs, knelt on the futon and kowtowed sincerely to apologize. I was convinced by this old Taoist priest's ability. He could actually understand everything I was thinking and guessing. I was not convinced. It didn't work anymore, so, perhaps looking like Xu Chengcheng, he knelt on the futon and kowtowed to him to apologize.
"Haha, don't worry. Both young people are the rising stars of Taoism. I, the old boy, will not be so stingy and care about the younger people. You just listen to what I tell you."
Next, it is time for Taoist Shangshan to popularize the advanced head-lowering technique.
Some people died, but not completely...
