American Zombie Detective

According to the netizen "Xianyun Yehe," among these seven pictures are a painted skin demon, a fox spirit, a corpse demon, and four other figures. Now, it seems that three of them are quite clear.

The resealed Painted Skin Ghost, the Fox Demon Qingyin, and the Corpse Demon Jiang Chen.

Later, Xianyun Yehe lost contact with him again. I don't know if he couldn't find anything else or if he simply forgot about it.

The appearance of the progenitor of zombies made Qin Jin quite uneasy. After all, he was a zombie who was bitten by Jiang Chen and had a natural fear of the progenitor. Even though he had become an immortal bone, this intimidation still existed.

He remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, the faint sound of police cars could be heard in the distance, indicating that the police force had been alerted and was arriving. The helicopter also landed again from above.

Suppressing the horror in his heart, Qin Jin asked directly:

"I understand. What else do you know about the other four paintings?"

Qingyin smiled faintly and said, "What sealed me was a bronze cauldron; there was also a purple-gold gourd that sealed a fierce ghost named Huapi; the black coffin contained the corpse demon Jiang Chen; and the Bagua bronze mirror contained a pig-headed fierce ghost named Peng Sheng."

She shrugged:

"As for the other three paintings, I really don't know anything about them. They've been sealed away for too long, and we're completely cut off from information."

After saying that, she looked at Qin Jin with a calm and collected expression, as if she was certain that he would accept the deal.

Qin Jin fell into a brief moment of contemplation. The names Jiang Chen and Peng Sheng echoed repeatedly in his mind like thunderclaps.

It must be said that the information provided by Qingyin was quite valuable, and her offer to help in the battle was not entirely impossible...

"...Where you want to stay is none of my business."

Qin Jin ultimately acquiesced to Qingyin's decision to stay:

"But remember your promise, don't cause me any trouble. Also, you'd better change your ways and live a low-key life."

"It's a deal!" Qingyin's face lit up with a bright smile, as if she had solved a huge problem:

"Change the appearance? No problem."

She winked playfully, her figure seemingly blurring for a moment, her demeanor becoming even more reserved and ordinary.

The sound of the sirens grew clearer and closer. Qingyin picked up the fragments of the wooden carriage from the ground and shook her head regretfully.

"It's a pity, my magic power is insufficient, so I can't transform into a carriage for the time being; I can only walk."

She looked at the helicopter from afar, reached out, and flicked her hand lightly towards the pilot, a wisp of illusory power flowing into the pilot's helmet—

The helicopter pilot's eyes suddenly went blank, staring straight ahead, as if his memory had been erased.

"Enough!" Qin Jin saw that she still intended to continue altering the memories of Constantine and the others, and slowly shook his head:

"They are my people."

She didn't say much, but nodded slightly to Qin Jin and the others. With a flash, she disappeared into the deep forest of the canyon, like the mist in the forest.

The backup team finally arrived. Qin Jin gave them some instructions to clean up the place, while he, Alessa, and the others boarded a helicopter and returned to the police station.

Back in the office, Qin Jin briefly informed the three of Qingyin's identity and her pregnancy.

"You mean, she's sure she won't cause us any trouble?" Constantine, a cigarette dangling from his lips, shrugged nonchalantly.

"It's up to you to decide, I... don't care."

Alessa said nothing, but silently took out her Gru Red Eagle, whose barrel had exploded, and placed it on the table. Qin Jin then pushed it to Constanze.

"Get it fixed, and while you're at it, replenish the ammunition..." He looked up, saw Alessa's grey-blue pupils, and then added:

"And grenades."

Aresa lowered her head in satisfaction and resumed stroking the snoring Yuanxiao.

Only Catherine's eyes held a hint of wariness, and her expression remained somewhat tense.

"Qin! Are you... sure?" She made no attempt to hide her worry. "After all, it's a monster. If its ferocity erupts, won't another tragedy occur?"

"For now, this is the only way," Qin Jin said very bluntly.

"She's very powerful, and forcibly expelling her would be counterproductive. Besides, there are already quite a few mixed-race people living in Los Angeles. As long as they follow the rules, we don't need to drive them all away..."

He paused, then concluded, "...Besides, we don't have the resources to drive them all away!"

Catherine looked at Qin Jin with a complicated expression, but finally nodded:

"Understood. I will compile the report according to this line." She knew that this was the safest and most reassuring explanation at the moment.

Before submitting the written report, Catherine gave an oral presentation, the main point of which was:

Both the fox spirit Qingqiu and the demon Marduk have been dealt with for the time being, and the whole incident has come to an end.

The city hall was overjoyed by the result. Mayor Matthew personally called to commend Qin Jin's team, highly praising their outstanding contributions, and sent over the old factory's permits and breeding licenses, so that the reward could be paid out immediately.

As for Constantine and Catherine, they also received a cash reward of $100,000 from the city hall. Qin Jin didn't take a penny and divided it all equally between them.

However, both Constantin and Catherine were somewhat uninterested, because almost at the same time, Congressman Michael's share of the money arrived. They each received $90, while Qin Jin kept $120 million, making a small fortune for themselves.

The next day, Qin Jin went to the pond and found the paper bride to inquire about the whereabouts of Jesus' blood.

The paper bride seemed to have anticipated this, so her answer was quite straightforward:

"I've heard about the blood of Jesus before. It's said to be hidden in a European monastery to suppress the demons within, but the exact address..."

She stretched out her hand, and illusory power condensed in the air, forming the shape of a parchment manuscript.

The cover of the manuscript is decorated with a cross and a scale, with a longsword and a demon's wings on either side. There are no words on it, but it is clear that it is quite old.

"...In this handwritten copy! And it's part of the Tong family's collection."

Qin Jin understood; this meant... they still wanted to completely destroy the Tong family!

If you do the math, the Tong family doesn't have much left:

The elders of the first generation are still alive, Tong Zhenhai is the only remaining member of the second generation of the Tong family, there are two members of the third generation, and only a little over a dozen members of the fourth generation, ranging in age from 13 to a few months old.

Hmm... it looks like I'll have to go to San Francisco again, but given the current situation, it might not be possible for the time being.

Although the Los Angeles incident has come to an end, Mayor Matthew and Chief Edward are very worried. They estimate that he will not be allowed to go out because he was going to commit murder and kidnapping, and he cannot go openly. Therefore, the plan has to be put on hold for the time being.

Anyway, there are still some other things to take care of here...

Two days later, Qin Jin brought Alessa to his office. After a short while, aside from the necessary signatures, Catherine told him that the company that would be renovating and decorating the old factory had been arranged to meet him at the coffee shop next to the police station that afternoon.

Qin Jin agreed and then prepared to take Alessa out. Today was the day to pick up the results, and he needed to go to the school.

Just then, Constanze pushed open the door and entered. He first handed the repaired Gru Red Eagle to Alessa, and then placed half a bag of various grenades in front of her.

"Here you go! The one with the white horizontal line drawn on it is a specially made Holy Light Grenade, a prototype. Take it with you."

Alessa glanced at Constantine and began stuffing grenades one by one into the bag behind the Frankenstein doll. She even gave Constantine a glutinous rice ball, which was unusual for her, so that he could pet the bear.

Constantine naturally understood Aresa's good intentions, and while holding Yuanxiao, he casually told Qin Jin:

"By the way, Qin, I've had someone find out why Marduk is chasing Qingyin... I think it's probably the right reason. What should we do? Call and ask, or go there in person?"

Qin Jin stood up immediately: "Let's go there. After that, I still need to go to Alessa's school."
