Chapter 589: Investigation (1)
Zhuang Baoli's father and daughter did not immediately reply to the message.
The first reply Li Yun received came from Bai Wuchang. The content is simply three words "ascertained", without even adding a punctuation mark.
It seems that black and white impermanence is indeed very busy. The chaos in the capital city can be seen.
Fortunately, Jiang Longchang has not encountered a "robbery". Maybe the area where he lives is safer.
Li Yun was unable to personally feel the changes in the capital. Even Jiang Longchang's description, he also heard second-hand news from Uncle Li. If you count the gossip that Jiang Longchang heard, the news he received here was the Nth hand. Maybe Jiang Longchang also encountered a robbery, but in order not to worry Uncle Li, he deliberately lied.
Li Yun speculated wildly, and his mood was a little relaxed.
Since Bai Wuchang and they have investigated, it should be no problem. It's not what he thought, and another star has appeared.
Li Yungang wanted to put down his mobile phone, but suddenly thought of what Meng Sinan said just now.
If Bai Wuchang only followed the clues he had previously provided, would he have missed the crew of the Ocean Superstar?
After thinking about it, Li Yun listed all the situations investigated on his side in detail and sent them to Bai Wuchang.
He also informed Bai Wuchang that he was going to investigate the Ocean Superstar next.
The source of the problem must still be on that ship.
He needed to get on board and see for himself.

The capital city.
Police station.
As soon as Bai Wuchang sent a fraudster to his cell, he received a message from Li Yun.
He patiently read Li Yun's tirade, and did not dislike Li Yun's verbosity.
The black impermanence who was leaning against the wall to inspect his phone glanced at his phone screen and scoffed, "Does he think we are as amateurs as him?" β
His taunts were not untargeted.
After Li Yun sent the first message, Bai Wuchang investigated Zhuang Baoli's family, as well as their family's recent itinerary and the people they came into contact with.
In fact, he already knew what was going on.
Merely......
Bai Wuchang stared at the phone screen, pondered for a long time, and did not reply.
One hand snatched the phone from Bai Wuchang's hand, and his slender fingers quickly jumped on the screen, sending a message.
The phone was back in Bai Wuchang's hand, but there was one more reply that was sent out: "Received".
There is still not even a punctuation mark.
Bai Wuchang lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.
"My lord! I'm a ghost! I've never broken the law before! I just miss my family so much! I'm old and young! I am the pillar of the family, I died suddenly, how can they live! β
The fraudster in the cell clung to the iron bar, hoarse, crying tears and snot, and his feelings were sincere.
The rest of the people in the same cell had their own reactions, but most of them just watched the excitement.
Bai Wuchang raised his eyes to look at the man.
The man cried even louder, "My lord! Do well! I don't dare anymore! I will never do it again! I'll find a serious job to make money! Please let me go! Just let me get in touch with my family! Just once! One minute! Just a minute! Please! My mother has coronary heart disease and high blood pressure, and she has to take medicine every day! My wife has to take care of my parents, take care of the children, and work...... I miss them so much! All I need is a minute! Half a minute! β
He pleaded, fell to his knees, and kowtowed.
Bai Wuchang's expression was indifferent, but he just held his phone tightly.
A sneer came from the side.
Black Impermanence leaned back against the wall, his hands in his pockets, his posture leisurely, staring at the man.
"Are you really a cop when you are black and white?"
The crying stopped abruptly, and the next second it sounded again. The words of pleading continued to pour out of the man's mouth.
Hei Wuchang continued: "You have been dead for twelve years, and it is not clear where this is and who we are? You are a dregs who is addicted to drugs and gambling, you didn't support your old mother, take care of your wife and children when you were alive, and now you are dead, and your ashes have been scattered in the sea for 12 years, and you think of your family? β
The man straightened up like a spring and looked at the black impermanence in astonishment, "Ashes scattered in the sea? Who scattered my ashes in the sea? β
"What do you say? The only contribution you have made to your family is the sea burial allowance. Black Impermanence sneered.
The man's face distorted for a while, and he muttered to himself, "No wonder I don't have a penny in my account...... That stinky ...... The dead old woman ......" his face turned hideous, and he gritted his teeth.
Bells.
Black Impermanence kicked the iron fence.
The man retreated in fright, and soon, he showed a humble and flattering smile again, "Your Excellency, ......"
"Fraud, 12 years." Black Impermanence said.
The man's face changed dramatically again.
"After that, it's up to who's going to take a fancy to you." Hei Wuchang threw down this sentence and walked out.
"My lord! Wait, my lord! How twelve?! I've only cheated about 1,000 yuan, and I haven't succeeded yet! My lord! My lord!! The man threw himself on the iron fence and squeezed his face into the gap in the railing. He was hoarse, but he couldn't make the black impermanence turn back.
White impermanence also left with black impermanence.
Inside the cell, other inmates laughed sneeringly. There are also people who sigh and feel that they are sympathetic.
The man turned his head to look at his fellow inmates, "Why is the sentence so heavy?" Twelve years? It's only been 12 years since I entered the capital! β
His cellmates ignored him.
He had no choice but to find a corner to sit down.
After all, he had a bad life when he was alive, and it wasn't much better when he died. For him, it doesn't make a difference anywhere.
Black and white impermanence walked all the way to the hall of the police station.
The machines of the all-in-one network office lined up in the hall, and there were more than a dozen people waiting in front of each machine.
Seeing the impermanence of black and white, someone wanted to gather and ask questionsβthey had too many questions to askβbut they recognized the one who walked in front of them, and everyone stopped.
Black Impermanence walks forward without squinting, like walking on the catwalk, ignoring these people as if they were nothing.
Someone squeezed his eyebrows and looked at Bai Wuchang behind him, but he didn't get a response from Bai Wuchang, so he could only be discouraged and continue to line up at the machine.
Naturally, there are also gossipy people.
"This master has been busy arresting people recently?"
"Isn't that overkill?"
"There is a shortage of manpower, and there is no way."
"Why does that costume guy look in a bad mood?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's crazy. β
"Alas, if you want to change the usual, he is alone, and he will definitely be able to ask something."
"What? What does that white impermanence say? β
"There's nothing to say. It's the one who has a better temper. β
Black and white impermanence put all these discussions behind him and left the police station.
They didn't discuss it, but they all knew where they were going next.
As those people say, they've been "crazy busy" lately.
This is the inevitable chaos at the beginning of the change.
What's more, there is also their intention in this.
Walking to the uninhabited alley, Bai Wuchang looked at the black senior in front of him.
"How?" Black Impermanence asked, his pace not slowing down.
Bai Wuchang didn't speak, but just looked up at the immortal mountain that could be seen from any corner of the capital.
The top of the fairy mountain is shrouded in clouds, and only occasionally you can see the Qionglou Yuyu after the fairy glow. As for the divine beasts in the mountains, they would appear from time to time, or make strange noises, attracting the attention of everyone in the city.
In the various rumors circulating in the city, no one has climbed the mountain so far.
Bai Wuchang had never been to that mountain, but he knew that the black seniors had been there a long time ago, and he knew that the black seniors had sent some ghosts into the mountain, and he also knew that the old ghosts and demons in the mountain had come out.
The ghosts in those prisons......
Bai Wuchang lowered his eyes.
The white light around him dimmed a little.
"The only remaining refuge of death is death. We only represent the order of the underworld. But the balance of yin and yang, if we collapse here, the world will not be much better. Black Impermanence spoke.
White Impermanence looked blankly at Black Impermanence.
It is very obvious that black impermanence is true. But Bai Impermanence is now shaken.
Without heaven and earth, the world has not collapsed.
If there is no drunken capital, there are no ghosts......
He originally thought that there was no way for anyone, just like the "only in but not out" rule in the capital city and the starvation piled up outside the city.
Hei Wuchang also raised his head and looked at the immortal mountain, squinting slightly.
"They're not lonely ghosts, nor are they the kind of evil demons who live with their tails between their legs. How are you going to deal with them? Black Impermanence asked, turning to look at Bai Impermanence, "You know, when it comes to life and death, they will find a way to survive at all costs." β
Bai Wuchang could not answer this question.
Hei Wuchang asked again: "Besides, when the day comes, are you going to kill yourself by the neck, or will you complete your own suicide before this and practice your own justice?" β
Bai Wuchang still couldn't answer.
Hei Wuchang turned around and continued to walk forward, "What the old bird proposed is already the best way at present. β
"Do you really think so?" Bai Wuchang asked, "If that's the case, why don't you just announce your new plan in the whole city?" β
Black Impermanence tilted his head to look at White Impermanence.
The light on Bai Wuchang's body became a little more condensed, and the eyes looking at Hei Wuchang became firm again.
"I want to know your real reason for doing this." Bai Wuchang said, "You're not afraid of them, are you? β
Black Impermanence smiled.
"'If the punishment is unknowable and unpredictable, the people will be afraid'. This is something that humans have understood thousands of years ago. β
Bai Wuchang frowned, "We don't need their fear. β
"yes."
Bai Wuchang was stunned, "They ......"
"They don't need to." Hei Wuchang said lightly.
Youkai who have lived for thousands of years, ghosts who have been dead for thousands of years, how can they need such a thing as "fear" of humans?
The phoenix fire can not only sweep away the evil spirits, but also easily burn the city and destroy the world, at least it is no problem to burn a hundred miles in an instant. In the face of such power, what is the point of human beings being afraid or not? It is also impossible for humans to actually kill the phoenix. Because they have endowed the phoenix with the ability to be reborn from the ashes, and have endowed it with the attribute of becoming immortal and immortal.
Bai Wuchang was completely stunned.
The white light on his body was flickering, showing his chaotic mood at the moment.
"The heavens and the earth are gone, but the capital has survived." Black Impermanence sighed softly, "They and they were just ants struggling to survive at that time, and it was not the weaker side that died. They're just in the wrong place......"
The white robe of white impermanence is windless and automatic, and the wide sleeves flutter.
The black and impermanent black hair did not move at all, and the metal jewelry and hanging chains on his body reflected the cold light.
For a long time, the wind was still.
Black impermanence and white impermanence continued their silent progress as if nothing had happened.
It's just that the light on Bai Wuchang's body is even dimmer, and Black Impermanence is like a black hole that swallows everything, and the places he walks through are a little darker.

It's the off-season, and there is no need to grab tickets for the Ocean Superstar, and there is always room for them. It's just that its voyage has a fixed route and time, and Li Yun can't get on the ship halfway.
The time of waiting was not wasted.
He had a meal with Zhuang Baoli, and he also sent messages frequently with Zhuang Xuexia.
Zhuang Baoli does not believe in strange powers. Even if Li Yun intended to guide, he didn't think of any useful clues. Of course, although Li Yun intended to guide, he didn't dare to say frankly, that is, "guidance", and he didn't dare to cross the line too much, for fear that Zhuang Baoli, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, would be "crooked" by him.
Zhuang Baoli is currently just having nightmares, and he hasn't really "seen the hell", perhaps because he never believes in these.
In comparison, Zhuang Xuexia didn't need Li Yun's guidance at all, so she thought about it that way.
Even so, Li Yun and Zhuang Xuexia, an adolescent girl, are really difficult to communicate.
On the one hand, it was because Zhuang Xuexia was "playing with her mobile phone" in class that day and kept in touch with Li Yun, but she was caught by the teacher, her mobile phone was confiscated, and her parents were called afterwards. This made Zhuang Xuexia have a lot fewer opportunities to touch her mobile phone in the next few days.
On the other hand, it is also because of the above things, compared to the "prophetic dream" and the strange things that her father encountered, Zhuang Xuexia now has more realistic troubles.
The teacher called to school was Zhuang Xuexia's mother, Luo Lanjun.
Luo Lanjun was originally more patient and tolerant of Zhuang Xuexia. But not long after the start of school, he was called to school by the teacher twice in a row, one time he was late and absent from class, and the other time he was playing with his mobile phone in class, no matter how good Luo Lanjun's temper was, he couldn't hold back.
She cares no less about Zhuang Xuexia than Zhuang Baoli.
The change in Luo Lanjun's attitude made Zhuang Xuexia very annoyed.
On weekdays, Lila's mother, who was biased and muddy, trained herself with a straight face, and told her father about it, causing her to be trained again, Zhuang Xuexia was so aggrieved.
She was obviously really in danger, but she nervously contacted Li Yun for the sake of her father, but she was reprimanded instead.
"Kindness should be the liver and lungs of a donkey!" Zhuang Xuexia secretly complained to Li Yun.
This is still a sentence from a reading and analysis article in her new semester's Chinese monthly exam. She felt that it was right for herself.
Her complaints, looking for the wrong person.
Li Yun's age is between Zhuang Baoli and Zhuang Xuexia, he has long passed the age of being afraid of "parents/teachers' blame", and because of the loss of his parents, he is actually a little disgusted by Zhuang Xuexia's complaints; He doesn't care about "kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs". He is now helping people solve supernatural problems everywhere, purely volunteering, without asking for anything in return, and he doesn't even feel the need to tell the other party the truth.
This reminded Li Yun of their somewhat exaggerated self-introduction when they first met Black and White Impermanence.
"Interested".
Since it is "interest", no matter what the other party reacts, whether it is gratitude, disdain, or disgust and boredom, he does not have to take it to heart. Because he's doing these things for himself.
Li Yun politely comforted Zhuang Xuexia, and implicitly reminded Zhuang Xuexia that their conversation should revolve around that supernatural event, not to talk about these trivial matters of life.
This naturally aroused Zhuang Xuexia's resistance.
