Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.
Chapter 48 Is the man in gray Wang Yan?
After hearing what Wang Liqun said, Wang Yan's eyes flickered slightly.
Lifespan-related rare items are extremely rare, even at headquarters.
that……
Wang Liqun glanced at him.
"Speak your mind."
Wang Yan asked, "If headquarters finds out I might possess a lifespan-related artifact, will they do something outrageous?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Liqun burst into laughter.
"You don't need to think too badly of headquarters."
"You are now an S-class prospective weapon wielder."
"As long as you don't do anything heinous, even if they know you have a lifespan-related rare item, they won't dare to openly steal it."
"After all, the Bureau was able to reach its current scale in such a rapidly changing world in just one year, not by stealing its own people."
"There are definitely people with selfish motives in headquarters, but there are more people who want to maintain order. Those people will not allow others to disrupt the order they have carefully built."
Hearing this, Wang Yan's worries lessened considerably.
Wang Liqun continued.
"Moreover, Changsheng Town is located in the vicinity of Jiangdong, and there are still survivors in the cellar. The Jiangdong Administration Bureau has priority in handling this matter."
"Following the internal procedures of the Jiangdong Administration Bureau, it will take at least a week for headquarters to officially see the complete report."
"Can't you resolve this in a week?"
Wang Yan laughed upon hearing this.
There's plenty of time.
Seeing that he seemed a little more relaxed, Wang Liqun immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
Don't be too happy yet.
"If Changsheng Town really has a lot of people who have used the Longevity Fruit, as Qian Tiezhu said, then you'll be busy with the rest."
Wang Yan looked at him.
Wang Liqun counted them one finger at a time.
"Block the entrances, isolate those who ate the longevity fruit, screen innocent townspeople..."
Dozens of items in total!
Wang Yan felt a chill run down his spine.
"Captain Wang, am I supposed to handle all of this by myself?"
Wang Liqun glanced at him.
"If you hadn't told me, you would have had to handle it all by yourself, but now that you've told me, I'll definitely send someone to help you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just then, Lin Youyou opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she leaned back suddenly, her forehead covered in a layer of cold sweat.
It was as if they had encountered something terrifying.
Wang Yan looked at her.
"How is it?"
Lin Youyou raised her hand and pressed her temples.
"It was like reliving the Qingfeng Mountain incident. It was quite peculiar, but the despair was also quite unbearable."
"However... this time, the Qingfeng Mountain in my dream is different from some places in my memory."
Wang Yan's heart sank.
His expression remained unchanged.
"What's different?"
Lin Youyou thought for a moment.
"There was one more person in the group. He was wearing gray clothes, and I couldn't see his face."
"What's even stranger is that he seemed to have saved me several times..."
Wang Yan fell silent upon hearing this.
If Lin Youyou can see it, it means Shen Qingli can see it too.
Shen Qingli is no ordinary person.
She is an A-level weapon handler from headquarters, and was sent to investigate Gu Jingnian's cause of death.
They definitely have some skills.
So, will she suspect him?
Wang Yan was unaware.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that Shen Qingli had also opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she looked towards Wang Yan's position.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Upon seeing Shen Qingli awake, Wang Liqun asked, "What was the result?"
Shen Qingli withdrew her gaze from Wang Yan.
"It can be basically confirmed that Gu Jingnian did not die at the hands of the calamity."
Wang Liqun frowned, thinking of the gray-clad man Lin Youyou had mentioned earlier.
"Was the cause of death related to that man in gray?"
Shen Qingli nodded.
"Was there any information about the man in gray in that dream?"
Shen Qingli shook her head.
"The information that Youyou can express is already the most complete part of this dream."
"That person left only very fragmented traces, gray clothes, face not visible, and clearly showed goodwill towards Lin Youyou."
Wang Liqun read it aloud in a low voice.
His gaze swept across Wang Yan's face for a moment before he said nothing more.
Shen Qingli glanced at Wang Liqun, stood up, and nodded to the others.
"The cause of Gu Jingnian's death has been determined, and I should return to headquarters now."
"See you again someday!"
Without waiting for their response, Shen Qingli walked out of the room first.
She only took out her phone after leaving the Jiangdong Administration Bureau.
I glanced back.
After confirming that no one had followed her out, she made a phone call.
"Help me check Wang Yan's records of exchanging rare items, the serial number..."
There was a quick response on the other end of the phone.
"The file has been sent to your phone."
Shen Qingli opened the file.
Inside was Wang Yan's list of rare items he had redeemed in the Administration Bureau's app.
She read through it line by line.
F-level artifact.
F-level artifact.
It's still an F-grade rare item.
There are no memory-related strange items.
There are no disguised strange objects.
There is nothing that can erase the traces of one's identity out of thin air.
Shen Qingli frowned.
"What's going on? Could it really not be him?"
She quickly shook her head again.
"Disguise-type artifacts are not difficult to obtain, but memory-type artifacts are strictly controlled..."
Suddenly, she remembered the name of a calamity that she had seen in Jiangdong City before.
"Wait a minute! I remember there's another record in Jiangdong City of someone who died mysteriously after possessing a memory-related artifact. Could it be him?"
She didn't dwell on it any longer and instead made a second call.
After the call was connected, I could hear the sounds of a keyboard and mouse scrolling.
Shen Qingli said, "Zhixing, the cause of Gu Jingnian's death has been investigated."
The other side only replied with one word.
"explain."
Shen Qingli recounted his discoveries one by one.
Gu Zhixing didn't react much after hearing the voice.
"The man in gray? Have you found his identity?"
Shen Qingli remained silent for a moment.
She looked at the Jiangdong Administration Building.
"The tentative suspect is Wang Yan, an S-level pre-service weapon handler in Jiangdong City."
The mouse clicks on the other end of the phone stopped for a moment.
"S-rank preparation?"
Gu Zhixing seemed genuinely surprised.
"Why are we suddenly bringing up this level of prospective weapon wielders?"
Shen Qingli said, "He is very strong and has the potential to kill Gu Jingnian. Moreover, the gray-clad man who remained in Lin Youyou's dream had goodwill towards her."
"Wang Yan is also close to Lin Youyou."
"so……"
Gu Zhixing chuckled softly, interrupting Shen Qingli.
"Don't bother with speculation; I only look at things with concrete evidence."
"Besides, knowing the cause of that old man's death would give my mother some closure."
"As for how that old bastard died, I don't care."
Shen Qingli did not respond to that sentence.
She knew that Gu Zhixing and Gu Jingnian didn't get along.
But I didn't expect it to be this bad.
Soon, the sound of a mouse scrolling came from Gu Zhixing's side again.
He was probably looking at Wang Yan's file.
Soon, a hint of interest appeared in his voice.
"Having only been a weapon wielder for a few days, I was recommended by two A-level weapon wielders to become an A-level candidate."
"And then, just a few days later, he was promoted to S-rank prospective?"
"Even I can't match that speed."
"The file also says that he seems to possess a special talent that allows him to easily master multiple strange objects. That's interesting."
"Compared to the cause of death of that old bastard Gu Jingnian, I am more interested in Wang Yan."
Shen Qingli asked, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Zhixing said, "I've recently had some ideas about this kind of talent and want to do some experiments."
"Qingli, don't go back to headquarters yet. I'll use my privileges to have Wang Yan come to headquarters."
"You and he will come back together then."
Shen Qingli was stunned for a moment.
"what?"
She was already preparing to go back to rest.
Now I have to work overtime again.
Gu Zhixing knew her very well.
He said directly, "I'll give you double the enhancement potion I promised you before."
Shen Qingli's expression immediately changed.
"make a deal."
She hung up the phone and turned to leave.
Inside the Administration Bureau, Wang Yan was fully aware of Shen Qingli's conversation.
Because he had placed a B-grade artifact obtained from the calamity [Hundred Eyes] on Shen Qingli.
[Strange Object: The Eye of Detection]
[Abilities: Stealth, Remote Monitoring, Rapid Recovery]
"The people at headquarters don't seem to have much hostility towards me?"
Wang Yan is somewhat strange.
He killed his father!
But this is good, it saves him from having to deal with both Shen Qingli and Gu Zhixing.
Soon, the field team sent by Wang Liqun arrived.
There were seven people in total.
They were all foreign staff from the Jiangdong Administration Bureau, and they were very efficient in their work.
Some equipment was prepared immediately.
Lin Youyou originally wanted to go with them.
But she was working on a report until dawn last night, and then she was tormented by Shen Qingli in her dream.
When she stood up, she even seemed a little dazed.
Seeing this, Wang Yan dared not let her come along.
"You should stay."
Lin Youyou looked hesitant, but did not refuse Wang Yan's suggestion.
Wang Yan led his team away from the Administration Bureau to find Qian Tiezhu, Lu Mingzhou, and Jiang Li.
The three of them did not run far.
It was in a large foot massage parlor near where I met Wang Yan.
When Wang Yan pushed the door open, Lu Mingzhou and Jiang Li were sitting in chairs, their expressions a mix of embarrassment and relaxation.
Qian Tiezhu's feet were still soaking in the water.
When he saw Wang Yan, he almost stood up.
The basin of water was kicked and shook.
"Are we ready to go?"
Wang Yan said, "Put on your shoes and let's go now."
After saying that, Wang Yan walked out.
There's a large shopping mall right next to the foot massage parlor, and even on a weekday, there's still a good flow of people.
While the three were getting dressed, Wang Yan took advantage of the time.
The Seven Deadly Sins Mask was subtly moved in the shadows.
Strands of unseen original sin value were sucked into the mask.
[Absorbed Sin Value: 97 points]
【Strength +1】
[Speed +1]
【Spirit +1】
