Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 96 Zhong Cai Xiaobai
Tianmen County.

After hanging up the phone with Chen Miao, Chen Guokun pondered for a moment, then found a phone number he hadn't contacted in a long time and dialed it.

"Kuiyang, this is Chen Guokun."

"Do you have time? There's something I need to tell you about, regarding a suspected paranormal incident in Shannan City..."

Hearing a soft "hmm" from the other end, Chen Guokun briefly summarized the information he had received from Chen Miao.

It was specifically mentioned that Chen Miao had previously assisted in resolving paranormal events.

After the narration ended, Chen Guokun heard voices from the other end.

"Is this considered a paranormal incident you submitted?"

Chen Guokun paused for a moment, then denied it, saying, "It's just a suspected case; no clear traces of evil have been found yet."

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"Gone."

"Well, hung up."

A busy tone sounds.

Chen Guokun put away his phone.

After a moment of silence, Chen Guokun called Chen Miao.

“Chen Miao, I have already reported the matter, but I don’t know whether or when someone will be sent. If you are in a hurry, I suggest you try contacting Zhong Cai. He is a special person in charge of Shannan City and has connections there.”

Chen Miao was somewhat surprised after hearing this answer.

What could Zhong Cai do if Chen Guokun, an investigator, couldn't handle it?

What's the point?
However, Chen Miao is not a person without sense of propriety.

"Thank you, Brother Kun. I'll contact Zhong Cai."

After hanging up Chen Miao's call, Chen Guokun shook his head.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help Chen Miao more, but his relationship with Wei Yang prevented him from doing so.

If Wei Yang weren't in Shannan City, he might have directly requested Shannan City to send someone over, but Wei Yang couldn't.

Holding a cigarette, Chen Guokun went to Tianmen Health Center.

In most cases, this place is just an ordinary health care hospital, but there are some special wards inside, which are used exclusively by investigators.

The situation is similar in health care centers across the country.

Upon entering the special ward of the health center, Chen Guokun saw Tong Yu doing push-ups with one hand.

He was using his left arm, which had been broken before.

"The recovery is going well; it will be healed in two weeks. It seems the Bureau's technology has improved again."

Tong Yu did a few more before jumping up and wiping his sweat.

"There must be some progress in pharmaceutical research. The current nutrient solution is about 50% more effective than the last one."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guokun laughed and said, "It's been a year since you were last admitted to the hospital, so a 50% increase is normal. You can stay for another half month."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yu asked, "Haven't you been busy lately?"

"It's nothing... but Chen Miao seems to have run into trouble again."

"Hmm? Something happened at the funeral home? Do you need me to go out and help?"

Tong Yu asked in surprise.

It seems that the situations Chen Miao encounters are just as frequent as those faced by the investigators.

"No need, it wasn't from the funeral home. He went to Shannan City; his friend ran into some problems..."

Chen Guokun gave a brief explanation, and after a pause, he also mentioned the matter of Wei Yang.

"I wonder if Wei Yang will send someone over."

Tong Yu fell silent upon hearing the name Wei Yang.

"What, you still remember the time he demoted you to my place?"

Chen Guokun smiled.

Tong Yu shook his head, picked up the leftover nutritional supplements, stuffed the rest into his mouth, and started exercising again.

Seeing Tong Yu's expression, Chen Guokun didn't say anything more.

……

In Shannan City, Chen Miao has already communicated with the other party using the contact information left by Zhong Cai.

Chen Miao originally thought that if he invited Zhong Cai, he should be paid, since the other party was not a member of the Investigation Bureau and had no obligation to get involved in other paranormal events.

Chen Miao had already decided on his payment: ten talismans, but it would require payment in installments. However, before he could even state his terms, Zhong Cai had already agreed.

Chen Miao was somewhat surprised by the other party's straightforwardness, since he had always been wary of Zhong Cai because of Zhong Fa.

Seeing Zhong Cai's straightforwardness, he felt a little uncomfortable.

According to Zhong Cai, they lived in the suburbs of Shannan City, which was only about an hour away. So, Chen Miao waited in the waiting hall of the escape room.

Throughout the process, Chen Miao kept observing the people coming in and out, hoping to discover something from them.

However, even the players who came out of the "Third Ward" did not have any Yin energy fluctuations, which made Chen Miao frown slightly.

Time flies.

After receiving news of Zhong Cai's arrival, Chen Miao went outside.

Before long, Chen Miao saw Zhong Cai, who wore thick glasses and had a bulbous nose, by the roadside, and a white-haired little boy next to Zhong Cai.

To Chen Miao's surprise, he sensed a gentle aura from both of them!

This is a prompt from the perception of good and evil.

Therefore, Zhong Cai always held goodwill towards him?
When dealing with Zhong Fa, everything Zhong Cai did did did not have any other meaning.

Although good and evil can change, at least for now, Zhong Cai has no ill intentions towards him.

This reassured Chen Miao somewhat about the collaboration.

Chen Miao could understand Zhong Cai's kindness, but what about this child's kindness?

"Brother Zhong, who is this child?"

Zhong Cai smiled and said, "My apprentice, Xiao Bai, you mentioned on the phone that it might be related to ghostly resentment, so I decided to bring him here. He's all alone at home anyway."

Seeing Chen Miao's surprised expression, Zhong Cai explained, "Xiao Bai's eyes are a bit special; they can see some special beings."

Chen Miao then realized what was happening.

But Chen Miao still felt somewhat unsafe bringing a child like Xiaobai along.

"Wouldn't it be a bit unsafe for Xiaobai to come? After all, the specifics of this matter haven't been determined yet, and we still don't know what that thing is."

Zhong Cai waved his hand.

"When I arrived, I had already contacted the investigator in Shannan City. Of course, he was only a Level D investigator. If we wanted to get a higher-level investigator, we couldn't describe the incident so vaguely."

Chen Miao was relieved to hear this.

It's good that he can come. Having seen the Bureau's points mall before, he has a better understanding of the Bureau's methods, so he is quite at ease.

Therefore, the four of them could go in.

But why would Xiaobai be kind to him?

It was their first meeting, and Hei Zi barked wildly at him, which made Chen Miao think he smelled like a dead person.

Meeting Xiaobai has made Chen Miao reject the idea that the smell of death is unpleasant.

After all, Xiaobai can see special things, so it's very gratifying that he was still so kind to her on their first meeting.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Miao took out a peach charm.

"Xiaobai, this is for you."

Looking at the peach charm in Chen Miao's hand, Zhong Cai wanted to refuse, but he opened his mouth and then closed it again.

He could naturally see the condition of the peach charm, and that was why he couldn't refuse.

Xiao Bai looked at the peach charm, then looked up at Zhong Cai.

"Take it."

After Zhong Cai finished speaking, Xiao Bai reached out and took the peach charm away.

"This child is a bit withdrawn and doesn't like to talk because of an eye problem, please don't mind..."

"Thank you."

Before Zhong Cai could finish speaking, Xiao Bai's voice rang out.

"You're welcome."

Chen Miao smiled and touched Xiao Bai's white hair.

Zhong Cai, standing to the side, fell silent, puzzled, and looked at Xiao Bai with a questioning gaze.

However, Xiaobai did not give Zhong Cai any response, but only glanced at Chen Miao from time to time.
