My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Zhang Hao beckoned to them. Once they were close, he whispered a few words in their ears.

After hearing his idea, the officers were somewhat stunned. One of them disagreed, saying, "This is against the rules."

“These kinds of cases require special handling. Besides, your superiors will approve of what I do. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for anything that comes with it,” Zhang Hao assured him confidently.

Not long after, the officers in charge of the case received a notice from their superiors, requiring them to fully cooperate.

Since their superiors have said so, they naturally have no problem with it.

That night, Li Zixuan pretended to go to the toilet, complaining as he went.

"It's all about scientific investigation, why bother with all this mystical stuff? It's making it impossible for me to get a proper rest, it's so exhausting."

Wang Ren, who also came to use the restroom, was accompanied by several fellow livestreamers who were also there to relieve themselves.

Hearing Li Zixuan's complaints, they all curiously inquired about it.

"We heard you're assisting investigators with their investigation. What kind of assistance is this? It's all so secretive. We haven't seen you do anything. What exactly is this assistance?"

"Yeah, you look so tired. Did you go running around collecting evidence? But this ancestral hall isn't that big. It shouldn't be that tiring, right?"

Li Zixuan glanced at them and said casually, "You don't know, these investigators use really strange methods. I never thought they would use such superstitious methods to solve cases."

This piqued their curiosity, so they all crowded around to ask more questions.

Li Zixuan pretended to be impatient and complained to them.

"I heard they hired a master who knows everything, and he'll be performing a ritual to summon the soul tonight. I'm in charge of preparing those props; those things are so strange and weird, they've exhausted me to this day."

The other anchors found this very strange. One of them said with disbelief, "Do they still use these methods when solving cases these days? Summoning the soul? Can they really bring back the soul of the dead? It doesn't seem very reliable."

"It's really not realistic. Can we really do it this way? It doesn't feel very reliable."

"What specific props do we need to prepare? Is it particularly eerie? I'm thinking of doing a live stream, can I come with you to check out those props later?"

Li Zixuan immediately shook his head.

“Of course not. I heard those props are specially made, and I have to arrange them in specific positions. If you mess them up, all our efforts will be wasted, and we won’t be able to summon the soul of the deceased back. I can’t take that responsibility.”

"Don't worry, I won't touch anything. I'm just taking a look."

The other streamers also chimed in, promising they wouldn't mess it up.

As they offered him some benefits, Li Zixuan pretended to be greedy for money. After accepting the money, he cautiously said to them, "I can take you to see it, but you must remember not to spill blood on it. It is said that only the blood of the dead can be used to summon their souls back. Using other people's blood will destroy the entire soul-summoning formation."

On the way back, Li Zixuan kept reminding them of various precautions.

Those people also solemnly promised that they would definitely abide by it.

Soon they arrived at the back gate of the courtyard. There was a huge Bagua diagram drawn on the ground behind the courtyard, with all sorts of items placed inside the Bagua diagram.

Those things included peach wood swords, blood, and all sorts of strange objects; in short, they looked eerie.

The streamers were astonished when they saw this, and immediately started their live streams, broadcasting the scene. Li Zixuan carefully told them, "You guys be careful, don't mess up the things in here."

After saying that, he went to attend to other things and completely ignored those people.

The group pointed at the items displayed there and began to discuss them with laughter.

Wang Ren pretended to join in the discussion, but secretly glanced at those things out of the corner of his eye.

Do you think this magic circle is real?

"I think it should be real. The Bagua diagram looks quite impressive; it doesn't seem fake."

"Maybe they really have invited a master, after all, the series of events in this murder case we encountered were quite bizarre, weren't they?"

Wang Ren also asked in a low voice, "Is this formation real?"

The group of people held differing opinions; some thought it was true, while others thought it was just a scare tactic.

After streaming for a while and realizing there was nothing new to see, they left.

Wang Ren left with them.

Not long after, he returned, carrying a steaming plate of dumplings.

Wang Ren smiled and walked over to Li Zixuan, handing him the steamed dumplings.

"I see you've been busy all day. Have something to eat. These are steamed dumplings I bought outside."

The food Wang Ren handed over smelled delicious, making one's mouth water. The translucent steamed dumplings looked very fresh. Putting everything else aside, Li Zixuan's stomach started growling the moment he saw them.

He took it, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "How could I possibly accept this?"

"It's alright. I'm the most suspicious person here. It's thanks to you that I've been cleared of suspicion for the time being. Otherwise, I would always be on edge, afraid of being wrongly accused. I really owe you a lot. Please accept this."

Li Zixuan sat down on the steps to eat, and Wang Ren chatted with him.

"What kind of master did you invite this time? Could you tell me about him? I'm quite curious about what kind of person has such special abilities."

While eating, Li Zixuan said, "He looks like an ordinary handsome guy, but his mannerisms seem quite high-class. I heard he's a detective specially invited by a special department to help them solve cases. I wonder what his background is, that he can get the relevant department to back him up. Maybe he has connections in high society."

Wang Ren nodded, looking as if he had just realized something: "Oh, I see. That's really impressive."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ren asked another question: "Are you almost done setting up the things in this formation? It's probably almost time for the ritual you mentioned. What if you're not done by then? Won't you get scolded?"

"You're right, I need to hurry up and make the most of it, or I'll get scolded again."

Li Zixuan ate quickly, but his expression suddenly changed after he finished eating!
Wang Ren feigned confusion and looked at him with concern, asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should I go with you to get a doctor now? You should have told me sooner if you weren't feeling well!"

Li Zixuan gasped and said with great difficulty, "It's probably an upset stomach. My stomach hurts a bit. I'm going to the toilet first. You stay here and keep watch. No unauthorized people are allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to touch those things, understand?"

After saying that, he ran out without waiting for a reply. (End of Chapter)
