Sheriff Uncle, open the door quickly! I've come to solve a case!

Zhou's parents' eyes were red; they didn't hate the Wang family, but rather themselves.

Bai Zhizhi's gaze fell on a certain spot to the side, where a ghost had been floating around all along—it was Zhou Tianyu.

In fact, Bai Zhizhi has the ability to revive Zhou Tianyu.

But Zhou Tianyu said from the side that he didn't need to be resurrected.

He owed Wang Yao a debt; Wang Yao's death was all because of him. Even if Wang Yao had lived, he should still have died.

Bai Zhizhi did not soften her heart and accepted his request.

However, Bai Zhizhi still helped him a little, allowing him to be reincarnated sooner and into a good family.

After Bai Zhizhi left, Wang Yao pulled her parents back to their room.

"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong, Yao Yao?"

"Actually, I wasn't resurrected by the master. I'm still half-dead."

Wang's parents stared at her in shock, even holding their breath.

"It was the little master who deliberately didn't say it. She was afraid the neighbors would be afraid of me, and I was also afraid... that you would all abandon me."

"If my parents can't accept it, I can leave."

"Silly child, what are you saying?" Tears welled in Wang Yao's eyes as she hugged her and gently patted her back. "How could your father and mother abandon you?"

"Even if you turn into a small animal, as long as your mom and dad recognize you, you will always be our good daughter, and this will always be your home."

Wang Yao felt a warm glow in her heart, and she could feel her heart starting to beat again.

Not long after, the Wang family moved away and settled down in a new place to live a life that belonged to the three of them.

On the way back, Du Hong was still unaware of what Bai Zhizhi and the others had encountered when they left, and simply asked, "Did that Taoist priest who sold them the talismans also kill many people in this way?"

Bai Zhizhi and Qin Qingzhou nodded thoughtfully.

Not only did he kill many people, but he was also wrapped up like a rice dumpling and used as nourishment for his Taoist magic.

"Captain Du, I'll have to trouble you to investigate how many children committed suicide and how many died due to special circumstances." Qin Qingzhou patted his shoulder, showing a pitiful expression.

Du Hong looked up and sighed deeply, "The task ahead is arduous and the road is long!"

……

The police hadn't seen Song Zhiwen for at least a year.

This big star is really hot right now, running around all day without even having time to sleep.

However, she still had the energy to take beautiful photos for Bai Zhizhi to see; in short, she had inexhaustible energy.

She brought a case with her as soon as she arrived.

The gist of the story is that a very popular female celebrity went missing. Before she disappeared, she went to a long-established restaurant for a meal and never came out again.

"I've heard of that restaurant too. It's quite famous in the industry. The dishes there are especially expensive, and the owner only serves customers with status and influence. Everyone who's been there raves about it, but when you ask what's in there, they never say a word."

"And they're very secretive; they only operate at night."

Song Zhiwen showed no airs of a celebrity, sprawling on the sofa and collapsing next to Bai Zhizhi.

Have you been there?

"No, waah, I'm broke!" Song Zhiwen suddenly pretended to cry. "I finally managed to earn a pittance, and it's all gone in one meal. It's terrifying."

Of course, this is all nonsense from Song Zhiwen.

Given her current status, she is fully qualified and has the money to go, but she simply doesn't want to.

This place looks very suspicious. How could she, as a private detective from the No. 3 Agency, go to a place like this without permission?

Qin Qingzhou looked up information about the restaurant.

There is very little information about it, but he found out when it was founded, which was actually a year ago.

Can this restaurant achieve this level of status in just one year?

Could it be that the restaurant owner is also a Taoist priest? Are all the dishes inside imbued with spiritual energy?

So why do those wealthy people linger after eating there?

In the end, Qin Qingzhou still took the case. Before confirming the safety, Qin Qingzhou went there to check it out himself.

Guided by the map provided by Song Zhiwen, Qin Qingzhou arrived at the so-called restaurant.

Judging from the exterior decoration alone, you would never know that this is a restaurant. It looks like an empty shop with no one around, and there's not even any decoration on the outside, which makes it quite mysterious.

However, outside the shop, there was a man in a suit standing there, who looked like a security guard.

Qin Qingzhou walked over, but the security guard stopped him immediately: "Sorry, you can't enter without an appointment."

Qin Qingzhou took out his identification: "Police officer, please cooperate with the investigation."

The security guard's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing and stepped aside to make way for him.

As they went upstairs, Qin Qingzhou showed him photos of two missing female celebrities: "Do you recognize these two?"

"They came here last night. When did they arrive and when did they leave? Do you remember who they met during that time?"

The security guard glanced at the photo: "I do know Ms. Mimi and Ms. Du, but they didn't come to our restaurant for dinner last night."

Qin Qingzhou frowned slightly: "But they made a reservation to come for dinner last night."

"The two ladies did make a reservation for dinner last night, but they didn't show up in the end."

"In a restaurant like yours, if a customer doesn't show up, you should at least ask why, right?"

"No, not at all." The security guard smiled politely. "Our guests are all important people. If they don't come, it means they have something to do, and we can't disturb their time."

"Moreover, our restaurant is always fully booked. Once a customer makes a reservation, they will come without wasting the opportunity."

The security guard smiled politely but distantly, with a hint of arrogance.

"Then please show me your store's surveillance footage, as well as the reservation list and guest list."

The security guard refused outright, even though the person in front of him was a police officer: "I'm sorry, this involves our client's privacy, we cannot show it."

"Even the police don't have the right to see?" Qin Qingzhou sneered.

"Yes."

"Then have your manager come see me."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The security guard left Qin Qingzhou's side and went to the side to make a phone call to the person in charge.

Qin Qingzhou looked around the restaurant. It wasn't open yet, so there were no customers and the whole place was empty. At first glance, it didn't seem any different from other restaurants.

However, before the security guards returned, Qin Qingzhou received a call from Director Hao.

"Xiao Qin, let's put that missing female celebrity case you took on on hold for now. Someone from above is putting pressure on you to stop investigating."

"If we absolutely must investigate, let's look for other avenues of inquiry."

After hanging up the phone, the security guard came over from the side, still with that arrogant look: "I'm sorry, officer, our store manager is very busy right now and doesn't have time to come over."

Qin Qingzhou laughed in exasperation.

Who has such a big shot? Daring to put pressure on the police chief and then refusing to come out and meet the police?

There's definitely something fishy going on at this restaurant.
