Section 284: Reciprocity

"Hey, Sister Tianxiang, I want to go to the headquarters to see, I don't know ......" After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Zhang Su first went to the nearby breakfast stall to have a simple breakfast, and when the time was just after seven o'clock in the morning, he called Nanguo Tianxiang and asked for instructions.

"You can go by yourself, didn't I give you a sign after the last time I took you on a tour? With it you can do your best to get out of the HQ on your own, I have a tricky task on my side, and I can't get out of it temporarily, so I can't go and show you the way. Before Zhang Su finished speaking, Nan Guo Tianxiang thought that Zhang Su had entrusted him to lead the way, and seemed to refuse in a hurry.

"Uh......, Sister Tianxiang, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to inquire about the process of the first ghost hunting in the ability appraisal, and I don't know who to go to." Zhang Su wanted to ask the road before going to the headquarters, but he was afraid that Nan Guo Tianxiang would hang up the phone directly, so he quickly explained.

"Process, oh, you're wondering if anyone has done it, right? Are you looking for them to learn from them? After Zhang Su explained, Nan Guo Tianxiang guessed.

"Uh......, huh...... Well...... Sort of, I don't know who to talk to about this kind of thing? Zhang Su had already completed the ghost hunting reward for the first item of the ability appraisal, so naturally he didn't go to learn from others, but when he heard Nan Guo Tianxiang's question, he didn't explain again, but pretended to agree and continued to ask.

"Generally speaking, you can go directly to Ding Yan or his assistants, they should be on standby at the board of directors or the trial court at all times, so that you appraisers can deliver the task, from them you should know if anyone has completed the task, if you can't wipe your face and want to find someone to learn from it in private, you can also go to the intelligence department or the technology department, the intelligence department and the technical department they have the latest dynamic information of all your ability appraisers, and you can also see it at a glance." After Zhang Su asked, Nan Guo Tianxiang seemed to know the functions of various departments in the company very well, and quickly replied.

"Okay, I see, I'll go over and have a look." After Nan Guo Tianxiang answered, Zhang Su nodded in response, then hung up the phone, left the breakfast stall, and walked towards the Soul Hunting Company building.

After crossing a wide road, Zhang Su quickly walked to the entrance of the building of the Soul Hunting Company, pushing the revolving door, Zhang Su walked into the reception hall on the first floor of the company again, and crossed the bronze statue of the ghost man and the tall rockery bonsai that looked like a bucket, Zhang Su walked inside, walked straight to the elevator entrance, pressed the elevator, and rushed directly to the intelligence department on the second floor.

"Is Brother Pang Mo here?" As soon as Zhang Su arrived at the intelligence department, he raised his eyes and looked inside, in the intelligence department, he only knew Pang Mo who had met once, so in line with the principle of familiarity to life, he wanted to go directly to Pang Mo to help him find out the progress information about the company's ability appraisal.

"Who are you? Is this a place where you can break in? Get out and get out! Just when Zhang Su stretched out his head and shouted inside, a middle-aged man with a haircut was sitting on a chair next to the blood-red round table and flipping through the file folder in his hand.

"My name is Zhang Su, and I am the latest batch of ability appraisers of the Soul Hunting Company, and I want to consult about something." Hearing the middle-aged man impatiently driving himself away, Zhang Su did not get angry, but opened his mouth to explain.

"You're an appraiser?" After hearing Zhang Su's explanation, the middle-aged man's attitude seemed to change a little, and he asked after being a little kinder.

"Well, yes, I got the task from Director Ding Yu before, and now I want to consult some information related to the ghost hunting bounty, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" Seeing that the middle-aged man's tone was much softened, Zhang Su smiled slightly and asked in a friendly manner.

"Zhang Su, um......, I seem to remember this name, judging from the appearance and the characteristics of the soul power that emanates, um......, it should be that you are right, the company has explained, about your group of ability appraisers, all departments must give a certain amount of support within the scope of their ability, so there is nothing convenient or inconvenient, as long as the information you need does not involve the company's privacy, our intelligence department will not refuse, you don't have to go to Pang Mo, he is still off duty today, not here, if you need to tell me, I will help you find it." After Zhang Su asked, the middle-aged man looked at Zhang Su carefully for a moment, and then seemed to recognize Zhang Su, nodded and said.

"Then thank you for this ......" Zhang Su heard the middle-aged man's words, and immediately became happy, and said to the middle-aged man with a slight arch of his hand, but only to realize that he didn't know the other party's name when he spoke, and he didn't know how to call him for a while.

"Zou Fangju." Just when Zhang Su didn't know what to call a middle-aged man, the middle-aged man reported his name.

"It turned out to be Brother Zou, I have been looking up for a long time, then thank you Brother Zou." Seeing that the middle-aged man had reported his name, Zhang Su hurriedly said sweetly.

"The little mouth is quite sweet, but the ugly words are ahead, if the information you want involves taboos, I won't help you find it, and I still have a lot of work to do today, I can only help you for a while, if it takes too long, I don't have time to spend it with you all the time." Hearing Zhang Su's sweet words, Zou Fangju pursed his lips, afraid that Zhang Su would make any excessive demands, so he hurriedly made an appointment with Fa Dao in advance.

"That's that, no matter what, I can't delay Brother Zou's own work, in fact, I'm not here to look for anything that is difficult to find, I just want to know if any of our people in this group of ability appraisals have completed the first ghost hunting task, that's all." Seeing Zou Fangju rushing to his own law, Zhang Su felt that it was not necessary, because the information he wanted to listen to was not complicated, but since Zou Fangju wanted to explain the rules in advance, he also nodded obediently, there was no need to think twice about this kind of trivial matter, but he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the other party, and after nodding his head, Zhang Su told what he wanted to inquire about.

"You just want to inquire about the progress of the other appraisers?" After Zhang Su asked, Zou Fangju asked with some disbelieving.

"yes, that's it, nothing else." Zhang Su smiled and replied.

"I thought it was something, it turned out to be such a thing, I don't even need to check the information, I can tell you directly, none of the seventeen of you have completed the task of the first ghost hunting reward, but there have been two, three or five appraisers to Director Ding to deliver the task, but for some reason, they are all found to be unqualified, so the task completion of your batch of appraisers is still zero." Seeing that Zhang Su confirmed, Zou Fangju smiled, and then explained.

"Not finished yet?" Zhang Su asked in disbelief, he calculated that almost a week had passed since he accepted the ability appraisal task, and a week had not yet been completed by a soul master, which obviously showed how troublesome this ghost hunting task was, so he couldn't quickly hand in the task for the next one.

"Well, that's right, it hasn't been completed so far, but someone went to hand over after hunting a ghost, but it was limited to not matching the conditions of the task, so it was not counted as a success, after all, you have to complete it yourself this time from finding needs to hunting ghosts, which is really not an easy thing for you novices to complete." Seeing that Zhang Su was a little surprised, Zou Fangju spoke disapprehantly.

"Brother Zou, you said that someone completed it but didn't meet the conditions, what's the matter?" Zhang Su nodded, then turned his mind and asked curiously.

"Oh, someone directly hunted the ghosts that met the level conditions, and then forged a commission contract to make the difference, but it was found and judged to be unqualified; Some people played tricks, looked for ghosts after forming a team, and then entrusted each other, but they were also discovered by Director Ding and determined to be a failure; Some people did look for a bounty, but because the level of the hunted ghosts was not enough, it naturally couldn't be passed, and it was clearly marked in your rules manual, so it didn't count as completion. After Zhang Su asked, Zou Fangju seemed to know a lot about ability appraisal, and he didn't look up any information, and explained directly to Zhang Su.

"I see, I know, then I don't have any problems." After Zou Fanghu finished speaking, Zhang Su was slightly disappointed because his task could not be submitted immediately, but this disappointment was not shown on his face, and he still nodded at Zou Fanghu with a smile, preparing to leave from the Soul Hunting Headquarters.

"You haven't found the bounty quest on your own, have you?" Just as Zhang Su was about to say goodbye, Zou Fangju turned the chair under his buttocks, let himself sit facing Zhang Su, and asked thoughtfully.

"Uh...... Hmm......" Zhang Su hesitated for a moment and nodded because he didn't want to submit the task he received at Daguan immediately.

"As the old saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by chance, before you just received the ability appraisal task, someone came to us to ask us about the information we have, and wanted to find some possible matching intelligence to complete the investigation, but in the end there was no information to meet your mission requirements, so they didn't come to our intelligence department to pick up information after that, but today, I just received a piece of information from the marketing department, saying that there was a murder in Xicheng District, and the deceased committed suicide, but the death was quite bizarre. It seems that he choked himself to suffocate to death, and I think you can try your luck. Seeing Zhang Su nodded, a sly smile flashed on Zou Fangju's face, and then he spoke seriously.

"Suicide? Strangling yourself to death? How is this possible? Hearing the death of the deceased described by Zou Fangju, Zhang Su frowned and asked.

"Yes, a little common sense knows that this is impossible, people have an instinctive desire to survive, even if they voluntarily hang themselves, they will struggle to survive when they are about to hold their breath, even if they jump off the building and commit suicide, they will regret the idea of survival at the moment before they fall to death, but because those commit suicide with the help of external forces, it is impossible to rely on the self-will of the person who committed suicide to recover, but it is different to pinch his own neck, when he touches the edge of death, The instinctive desire to survive will prevent the movement of the body that inflicts the injury on the body, making it difficult for people to strangle themselves, so it is very likely that the deceased was disturbed by an external force to complete the act of strangling himself, as for whether it is a physical external force in the human world or any soul external force, I don't know. After Zhang Su asked, Zou Fangju seemed to be very experienced and explained.

"Since Brother Zou told me, it's obviously not a physical external force." Zhang Su's eyes narrowed and asked.

"Well, judging from the information from the marketing department, there is no sign of manpower or material blessings, obviously it is a ghost victim, as for what kind of ghost it is, just ......" Seeing that Zhang was still clever, Zou Fanghu said.

"I think Brother Zou said just now that it was better to come early than to come by chance, it should have been seen from the information of the marketing department, right?" Zhang Su saw that Zou Fangju looked a little sold, and asked with a slight smile.

"Haha, smart, this information is the marketing department personnel from the Xicheng District Police Station to find, the police station is now worried about this matter, announced that the deceased is a suicide, the public with a little common sense will know that it is impossible for people to strangle themselves, if it is announced that he killed, it means that there is a murderer, there is no trace of the existence of a second person at the scene, you can't just catch someone as a murderer in the society, so the police station handed over to us who deal with the ghost, the person sent by the marketing department to negotiate the reward is only responsible for obtaining this order, They are not responsible for the subsequent intelligence investigation, but the necessary confirmation still has to be done, judging from the information obtained from the confirmation of the crime scene, there are indeed some remnant traces of ghosts left at the scene, and according to the traces of remnant souls, the ghosts who committed the crime may be at the level of high-level ghosts. After Zhang Su inquired, Zou Fangju told Zhang Su in detail what had happened, and while informing him, he looked at Zhang Su expectantly.

"Senior ghost, just in line with the requirements of the first item of ability appraisal, it seems that I came here is indeed a coincidence, but it stands to reason that this kind of intelligence should be investigated by special intelligence officers, and then made into a reward and announced in the company's reward column for everyone to receive, and the intelligence department can also earn a commission for publishing a reward, and Brother Zou has now informed me in such detail, let me investigate and even reach a reward deal, so Brother Zou's commission will not be there? The bounty of the high-level imp should be quite a lot. In view of the fact that the intelligence department gave other ability appraisers were inaccurate, Zhang probably guessed the reason, and did not believe that Zou Fanghu was kind enough to give himself such a chance to complete the task and make money, so he asked in a deep voice.

"Uh......, it's really smart, yes, this kind of reward is generally digested by our intelligence department itself, but you can also see my sad face just now, at present, the intelligence department is not able to get out of the personnel who are operating outside, that is, there is not enough manpower, and it will take three days to deploy the available manpower at the earliest, the intelligence of the marketing department is not only sent to us intelligence one, but also the second department, if they let the two departments take the lead, the merit of this reward will eventually belong to the two departments, After a while, the company's headquarters will conduct a performance appraisal of our two intelligence departments, and the one with the highest performance will receive bonuses and soul skills and horcruxes rewarded by the company, and our first and second departments are on par, so ......" Seeing that Zhang Su didn't seem to believe in himself, Zou Fangju was silent for a moment at first, and then gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"So you want to throw that bounty order directly to me, so that even if you are short of manpower, you won't let the second department get such an order that can increase a lot of performance, so that you still have the possibility of fighting for the company's reward, I should be right?" After Zou Fangju spoke, Zhang Su immediately added.

"Hehe, the homicide order caused by a high-level imp will still increase a lot of performance, so I give it to you, and we and the second department are still at the same competitive level." After Zhang Su added, Zou Fangju felt more and more that Zhang Su was smart, and explained with a smile.

"No wonder the ability appraisers who came to your first and second intelligence departments before all returned empty-handed, it turns out that this is the reason." After Zou Fangju explained, Zhang Su thought of what he had said before, and suddenly realized, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said with a smile.

"I didn't say that, Brother Zhang, don't talk nonsense, since I've made everything clear, do you want this bounty order?" Seeing Zhang Sugu speaking strangely, Zou Fangju waved his hand and asked.

"I'm worried about how to complete the first task of ability appraisal, since there is such a good thing, why not, I don't want you to give it to others, forget it, let me take advantage of this advantage, then thank you Brother Zou for your kindness." After Zou Fanghu asked, Zhang Wei pondered for a moment, if he obtained and completed this bounty order, then even if no one completed the first ability appraisal task, then he could be the first to hand in the task justifiably, since the matter was a matter of course, he didn't want to just let it go, nodded directly and agreed, and then thanked Zou Fanghu.

"You're polite, reciprocal benefits, here you go, this piece of paper has all the information about the case in Xicheng District, you can contact the Xicheng District Police Department according to the information inside, and then find the family of the deceased to explain and deal with the incident, the bounty should be shared by the family of the deceased and the police station, it may not be too much, but it is enough for you to complete the ability identification task." Seeing that Zhang Su agreed, Zou Fangju directly took out a piece of paper with most of the text written on it from the file folder in his hand and handed it to Zhang Sudao.

"Is it okay for me to go straight away?" Zhang Su took the paper and looked at it, then asked.

"The Xicheng District Police Department once united with us, and there are people within them who know about the soul and the soul hunting company, so you can take the paper I gave you, and the one of them can recognize the company seal on it, and will naturally accept you, you actually take orders yourself in the name of the company, but because you are also a member of the company, no one will really pursue it, but it doesn't violate the company's regulations." Seeing that Zhang Su had some doubts, Zou Fanghu said.

"Well, that's good, but the reason why the police department made a bounty order is not to let me hunt the ghost, but to explain it to the public, even if I prove that the ghost committed the crime and hunt it, I can't really stand in front of the media and say that the ghost is harmful, so wouldn't everyone think I'm crazy, and no one will really believe me." Zhang Su seemed to think about another question and asked.

"The purpose of your hunting ghosts is not to show the public, but to give an explanation to the family of the deceased, to convince the family of the deceased, to make the family of the deceased believe, no matter how the police notice is written, as long as the family of the deceased has no objections, there will be no big problem, so let's make it clear." After Zhang Su asked, Zou Fangju seemed to be very experienced in replying. TV updates the fastest //

"I see, in addition to soul hunting, I also want to use some means to scare those family members." After Zou Fangju answered, Zhang Su said suddenly.
