Chapter 28: Exploring the Compass
After the four people from the Divine Constable Department arrived at the government office in Anyuan Town, Xu Tianlei greeted them warmly.

Completely different from before when he used his aura to establish himself in front of everyone, this time he was very kind, smiling and saying all kinds of nice things.

The people from the Shenbu Division all seemed indifferent.

It was obvious that they did not take Xu Tianlei seriously, including three people whose martial arts skills were weaker than Xu Tianlei.

In the government system, martial arts skills are not that important; identity and official position are the key.

"You all will follow me to explore the east and record the locations we have explored."

A man from the Divine Constable Department came up to Shi Yi, Zhao Cheng and the others, pointed at some people at random, and said.

Then he took out a map of Anyuan Town and threw it to one of them casually.

"Yes, my lord."

Shi Yi and others replied.

"Let's go!"

The people from the Shenbu Division are very efficient. After selecting the people, they start taking action directly.

Everyone watched as the man took out a special compass. They didn't know what kind of tool it was, but seeing that the man's eyes were fixed on the compass, it was obviously a reconnaissance tool.

Shi Yi looked at Zhao Cheng, only to see Zhao Cheng also shaking his head slightly, obviously he had never seen this kind of tool.

The crowd was walking in Anyuan Town.

The man from the Divine Constable Department checked the compass, asked about the specific locations of various places, and asked people to record the points they had checked on the map.

This investigation continued into the afternoon.

"Let's stop here today. Tomorrow we'll go investigate outside the town and meet up at the government office first. The time we'll spend there will be the same as today."

The people from the Shenbu Division took away the map that recorded the places they had explored and left leisurely.

The people who were investigating together then separated.

"The investigative methods of the Divine Constables are truly miraculous, completely incomprehensible."

Zhao Cheng followed Shi Yi back to Anyang Martial Arts Hall and couldn't help but say on the way.

In their eyes, the people from the Divine Constable Department just walked around, stopped, looked at the compass in their hands, and asked for directions.

This is completely different from searching every house.

At first, everyone thought that the other party would take the opportunity to check whether there were any fugitives or the like hiding in Anyuan Town. Now it seems that they have no such intention at all.

"That compass should be made by a Taoist master to detect Buddhist treasures. It's really eye-opening."

Zhao Cheng continued.

In fact, it wasn't just him, other people also had guesses in their minds.

This magical method of investigation is basically related to Taoist immortals and masters.

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of investigation method. It's really amazing."

Shi Yi followed up.

Through his double pupils, he could see a blue light flashing above the compass. The other party was walking and looking at it to see if he could sense the blue light.

He estimated that after the compass detected the Buddhist treasure, the blue light must have changed.

This also reminded Shi Yi of the subtle blue light he saw on the Bodhi seed. It was obviously related to this.

The detection methods of this world are even more powerful than he expected.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and made many preparations, and the Bodhi seeds were not left here at all. Otherwise, even if he hid well, he would have been discovered by the people from the Divine Capture Department.

"Taoist masters possess special methods. According to the investigation methods of the Divine Constables, it should take less than two days to complete the investigation. We can be considered to have completed this mission!"

Zhao Cheng originally thought that the task would be very long, but looking at the situation today, it should not take more than a few days. The efficiency is much faster than he expected.

Of course, this is also a good thing for them.

No one likes the Shenbu Si to stay in Anyuan Town all the time. It gives people a great sense of oppression.

Even the three major gangs in Anyuan Town did not dare to fight for territory openly at this time, for fear that they would be disliked by the Divine Constable and be wiped out.

Even if these gangs had people behind them, they wouldn't dare act recklessly in front of the Divine Constables, because their people were afraid of being targeted by them. "Brother Zhao, are there people from the Divine Constables investigating the surrounding towns?"

Shi Yi suddenly asked at this time.

Seeing how efficient these people were, it was obvious that this was not their first investigation!

"As far as I know, the people from the Divine Investigation Department have been focusing their investigation on Danjiang."

"But for some reason, they suddenly scattered around Danjiang to investigate."

"At first, we were assisting in the investigation. I thought they were cooperating with the government officials, but I didn't expect the people from the Divine Constable Department to come here in person."

"But seeing how the people from the Divine Constable Department are making such a big fuss, I guess the lost Buddhist treasure is very important."

Zhao Cheng lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

He knew some things from his father, but not much. There were some things his father did not tell him.

Just like this time, someone from the Divine Constable Department will come in person.

Zhao Cheng didn't know whether his father knew about this, but he knew that his father would not harm him.

"Let's go, let's go back and tell the master what happened today."

Zhao Cheng took Shi Yi and quickened their pace.

He also needs to tell Lu Feng about this and try to find out more.

Zhao Cheng knew very well that his master, who seemed to drink tea in the martial arts hall every day and seldom took care of things, was very well-informed and might know more.

The two quickened their pace and headed towards Anyang Martial Arts Hall.

Anyuan Town Government Office.

"Sir, the people from the Divine Constables Division are investigating in the town today, but they haven't entered any houses. Tomorrow, they'll have us follow them and investigate outside the town. They've already left Anyuan Town and said they'll be back tomorrow morning."

Xu Tianlei reported today's situation to Zhu Zhuoyu, the mayor of Anyuan Town.

He followed them both to help and to keep an eye on the people from the Divine Detective Department.

The town magistrate Zhu Zhuoyu made such arrangements because he was worried that the people from the Divine Constable Department would have other actions.

"It seems that I think too much!"

"Continue to cooperate with the people from the Divine Investigation Division tomorrow."

"Also, I want to warn the people in town that I don't want anyone causing trouble at this time."

"If someone wants to make my life difficult, then I will definitely make their life even more difficult."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuoyu's peaceful face showed a thoughtful look, and then he said.

There was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.

Zhu Zhuoyu's face looked peaceful, but his heart was not peaceful.

"Don't worry, sir. I've already reminded you today. I'll arrange for someone to remind you again later."

Xu Tianlei replied solemnly.

He was very clear that there were many forces fighting in Anyuan Town and the situation looked chaotic, and Zhu Zhuoyu was involved in it.

Zhu Zhuoyu doesn't want any force to dominate the town. This is not a good thing for Zhu Zhuoyu. Only when multiple forces fight against each other can Zhu Zhuoyu maintain his transcendent position.

If he has the opportunity to move up a level in the future, he can use it to achieve sufficient political achievements.

Zhu Zhuoyu's imperial examination results were not ideal, and he was affected by the turbulent officialdom, so he had to stay in Anyuan Town, but he did not want to be trapped here for the rest of his life.

"Well, you've been busy all day, go back and rest!"

Zhu Zhuoyu waved his hand and said.

"It's a pity that the lost Buddha treasure is on the bank of Danjiang River. Otherwise, if I could find the Buddha treasure, I could establish a relationship with the Divine Constable's Office."

"As long as there is a suitable person to recommend me, I can get out of my current predicament."

Zhu Zhuoyu sighed deeply after Xu Tianlei left.
