Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques
Chapter 39 Investigation
Chen Han remained unmoved, showing no interest whatsoever in the woman's provocations, and asked, "Do you have any beast blood?"
Beast blood?
Qingxue was taken aback. She was quite surprised that this person remained unmoved by her seduction. She asked:
"Yes, I do, but what do you need beast blood for?"
Both the blood and meat of exotic beasts are rich in qi and blood, and can quickly replenish the qi and blood of martial artists after consumption. However, the former has a drawback: drinking too much of it can affect the brain.
They might become stupid, but more likely they'll go crazy.
Most people buy them to use as a medicinal ingredient or as bait to catch exotic animals.
Chen Han's voice was devoid of emotion. "Aunt Xue'er, just sell it to me. Don't ask too many questions. Oh, and make sure it's lumpy."
"Clumpy?"
Qingxue gave Chen Han a deep look. Could it be that this kid has a litter of strange beast cubs?
The strange practice of raising exotic beasts does exist in the black market, but it is rare. The best food for these exotic beasts is solidified blood.
But ordinary beasts are not easily subdued by humans; they usually escape or die within a few days, except for a few special beast cubs.
However, these animal cubs are incredibly valuable; without a substantial family fortune, one cannot even afford to sell them, let alone afford the enormous daily cost of feeding them.
"Could this kid have gotten incredibly lucky and actually found a litter of strange beast cubs?"
Qingxue was deeply shocked, and her gaze toward Chen Han became even more alluring.
She's planning to make her move on this young man tonight.
Murder and robbery are forbidden in the black market; that's the rule. But rules are meant to be broken. It's not that people are afraid, but rather that the time isn't right and the profits aren't big enough.
But now, this possibility is right in front of her. Should she take action or not?
After thinking for a moment, she smiled gently: "Alright, let's wait two more days. If the boy's brain is burned by the beast blood by then, it will prove that there is no strange beast cub as I guessed."
If this kid is completely unharmed, that's enough to prove there's a problem.
This is safer; she's not short of a couple of days.
The beautiful woman's thoughts raced; what seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only three breaths.
Qingxue smiled at Chen Hanying and said, "Auntie sells meat, so naturally I have blood too. How much do you want?"
"Two pounds, Aunt Xue'er, please don't let it leak."
Qingxue chuckled, half-covering her cherry lips with her hand, "Auntie is a respectable businesswoman, how could I do such a disgraceful thing? Good nephew, please wait a moment, Auntie will go and prepare it right away."
As she spoke, Qingxue stood up and strode towards the back room.
Before long, he came out carrying two large water gourds. His tall body was covered in blood, indicating that he had just done something quite serious.
Chen Han continued eating the gourd, and the beautiful woman deliberately touched his hand, causing Chen Han to frown and feel displeased.
This woman has bewitched him; he wishes he could stay a hundred miles away and never run into her again in this lifetime.
"I'm leaving now. Next time, Aunt Xue'er, remember to prepare in advance. I'll come again."
Chen Han said this and left the shop.
Qingxue's beautiful eyes were fixed on the direction Chen Han had left, and she didn't look away for a long time.
Meanwhile, Chen Han left the black market and went straight to the outskirts of the city.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are few, with a slight chill in the air.
Chen Han, his face veiled in black, walked along the path. Along the way, he saw dozens of beggars huddled together. Some of them, young and old, were already frozen stiff, while others knelt down and begged when they saw someone passing by.
Chen Han refused firmly, but the other party persisted. Some of them even went so far as to block his way, acting as if they wouldn't leave until they received a bribe.
Chen Han remained expressionless. Naturally, he wouldn't tolerate it. Without saying a word, he kicked the boy several meters away.
Immediately, cries of agony filled the air.
The others were dumbfounded and dared not linger around Chen Han anymore, so they went back to the warmer corner and curled up.
Chen Han remained expressionless and strode away as if nothing had happened.
Before long, he arrived at a small, dilapidated wooden hut that looked relatively intact. Inside, there was a campfire, its light shining brightly in the darkness.
But no one dared to join in the fun, because those who had dared to do so before had their legs broken.
Chen Han pushed open the door and entered. Inside were two people. One was a disheveled old man who had fought with Qing Xue earlier. The other was a young man who was lean and strong with a chiseled face and looked quite energetic.
"All done? What was that slut's reaction?"
When the old man saw Chen Han enter, he narrowed his eyes and asked.
Chen Han closed the door behind him. The cold wind howled outside. He went straight to the campfire and sat down, looking relaxed.
"His reaction seems unusual; as you might have expected, he must have noticed something."
The matter of the beast blood was naturally ordered by the old man to be carried out by Chen Han. He knew very well that Qing Xue was greedy and lustful, so he deliberately had Chen Han send out such a signal to lure her into the trap.
Given Qingxue's greedy nature, if Chen Han tries to seduce her a few more times, she will surely be tempted and follow him, which would be exactly what the old man wants.
It's a three-on-one situation, no doubt about it.
"You two, one old and one young, are quite the schemers."
At this moment, the lean young man spoke up.
This man, named Wu Duan, is a secret police officer of the government. He makes money by moving between the underworld and the legitimate world with his extremely strong investigative abilities. As long as you pay him, he can do whatever he wants!
Rumor has it that as long as someone is alive and hasn't been burned to ashes, there's nothing he can't find out.
Therefore, it is called "Judgment Investigation"!
"However, I have no interest in waiting here unless you ask me to help. It won't cost much, just two hundred taels of silver."
The old man glanced at him with displeasure. "Young man, we brothers paid you four hundred taels of silver to come here. What's wrong with asking you to lend a hand? You want money for this? Are you greedy?"
Wu Duan completely ignored the old man. "One thing at a time. Investigating someone is investigating someone, and murder is murder. If you're not satisfied, I'll refund half your silver. Then I'll leave."
The old man was speechless. They hadn't found anything wrong and were only refunding half the silver. It was simply outrageous.
He was so angry he didn't know whether to curse or hit the kid. This kid had connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and killing him would offend half the city.
"Very well, senior. You can easily handle this woman on your own. With me by your side, we'll be absolutely certain of success. Why should we have to put up with this?"
"Haha, you're the kind of guy who's best at talking."
The old man laughed heartily.
After a while, Chen Han, seeing that the time was right, asked curiously, "I wonder who you and the other seniors are going to investigate, spending so much money to invite this renowned expert?"
The old man took a sip of his wine, smacked his lips, and replied.
"Then we must investigate a fiend. This man killed more than fifty of my brothers in just one night, including five internal strength martial artists and dozens of external strength martial artists. You can't tell anything from the corpses; the bones were all smashed to pieces."
"That's amazing!"
Chen Han widened his eyes and feigned surprise.
