Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

Zhao Xuliang found the suspect in the throat-slitting case in just two days.

This speed was already quite efficient, but Shen Qingzhou was not surprised.

Because ghosts, who have no physical form, are far more convenient than humans in some matters.

"The one who perfectly matches the characteristics you described is a man named Ma Yong, but he's not a fishmonger or a seafood stall owner; he's a worker at a nearby seafood processing plant..." Zhao Xuliang said.

Shen Qingzhou was greatly surprised to hear this. Huinan City is close to the Yangtze River, so there are many small aquatic product processing plants, whose business scope is mainly the processing and sales of aquatic products and semi-finished products.

These workers deal with aquatic products for a long time, and even if they wear rubber gloves, they will eventually become soaked in the fishy smell.

"I never thought of that before," Shen Qingzhou exclaimed.

"Actually, the characteristic of 'fishy smell' is too general. Seafood vendors, processing plant workers, fishermen on the water, chefs in kitchens, and even some chemical plant workers can all have a fishy smell on them. It's too broad a scope..."

"Wait, you mean the chemical plant workers? Why do they smell fishy?"

"Because chemical plants produce an amine chemical, such as trimethylamine, which smells almost exactly like fish."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou suddenly realized, "You really know a lot. If that's the case, how did you find the person? Such a large area, even if you have the advantage of your position, it's impossible to find the person so easily, right?"

"Because I didn't follow the fishy smell clue at all, but went to the crime scene and asked around along the way..." Zhao Xuliang said with a hint of pride.

Clearly, the "person" Zhao Xuliang is referring to here is actually a ghost.

This is the same principle as the old woman that Shen Qingzhou lured with the "soul-guiding incense" to inquire about the circumstances of the case.

These ghosts lingering in the human world wander around, and since Ma Yong can't see them, he naturally has no defenses.

"Uncle Zhao, you're really amazing. You've considered things much more comprehensively than I have."

In order to get them to work for him wholeheartedly, Shen Qingzhou never hesitated to give them enough emotional value, since it didn't cost him any money anyway.

However, Wu Suyun, who had been sitting quietly listening, was somewhat unconvinced.

"Xiao Shen, you can leave these things to me from now on. I guarantee I'll handle them even better," Wu Suyun said.

"Aunt Wu, Uncle Zhao handled this matter exceptionally well."

Shen Qingzhou believed that even if he were to do it himself, it wouldn't be much different.

But Wu Suyun didn't take it seriously and asked in return, "Oh, beautiful? What's so beautiful about it? I just want to ask him, besides knowing the murderer's name is Ma Yong, how many people are in his family? Are they locals or from out of town? Are they married? Do they have children? And even why did he commit the murder, and where is the murder weapon hidden? Have you done any research on these things?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuliang retorted, "What's the use of knowing all this? As long as the murderer is caught, the rest is the police's job."

"Yes, that's right." Shen Qingzhou agreed.

"How could it be useless? With this information, it will make it easier for the police to make arrests, create more detailed profiles of criminals, and reduce the risk of resistance during arrests."

Zhao Xuliang fell silent, and so did Shen Qingzhou.

"Xiao Shen is still young. You're so old, how can you still be so careless in your actions?" Wu Suyun said.

Zhao Xuliang looked embarrassed upon hearing this, but dared not continue to refute.

Wu Suyun has always looked down on Zhao Xuliang, feeling that he was very irresponsible. When he went bankrupt, his understanding wife abandoned him and their daughter and ran off with someone else to ease his financial burden.

Instead of taking responsibility for caring for his daughter, he chose to commit suicide, leaving her alone and helpless.

Wu Suyun's situation was actually similar to Zhao Xuliang's, but she was much more remarkable.

In her early years, she was a magazine editor. Later, she resigned and went into business. She went through ups and downs in the business world, went bankrupt several times, and divorced her husband during this period, raising her two daughters alone.

But none of this defeated her. She even founded her own fashion brand. Even though she passed away from illness in her forties, she left her two daughters a huge fortune, ensuring their future well-being.

"I will have the accountant transfer this payment to your daughter's account."

Shen Qingzhou would never break his promise.

Zhao Xuliang was quite reassured about this, as it wasn't the first time the two had worked together.

This is why Shen Qingzhou asked Zhao Xuliang to do this, since Zhao Xuliang's daughter was struggling financially, while Wu Suyun's two daughters lacked nothing.

Now that they knew the killer, Shen Qingzhou didn't delay at all and immediately sent Ma Yong's relevant information to Chang Shengli.

The reason for saying it on WeChat instead of making a phone call is that it will serve as evidence for him to provide clues to the police, making the process of claiming the reward later simpler.

"Confirmed?" Chang Shengli replied quickly.

"Don't worry about me handling things." Shen Qingzhou added an "OK" emoji.

"Then wait for my good news."

Chang Shengli stopped talking, presumably to arrange for people to capture the murderer.

After finishing his business, Shen Qingzhou decided to have dinner. Although it was still early, he had really exhausted himself during the afternoon's religious ceremony and was already starving.

Wu Suyun and Zhao Xuliang naturally followed him downstairs. When Xiao Qiu saw that she was the only one left in the house, she quickly rode Wuying to follow.

Once downstairs, Zhao Xuliang left first to see his daughter.

After he left, Shen Qingzhou turned to Wu Suyun and said, "Now tell me, what did you want to see me about?"

"Are you so sure I need something from you?" Wu Suyun asked with a smile.

Judging from her relaxed demeanor, it probably wasn't anything serious.

"Unless I take the initiative to contact you, every time you come over, it's because you have something to do," Shen Qingzhou said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Suyun smiled and then said, "Indeed, I do need your help with something. Do you still remember my youngest daughter, Lu Yunyun?"

"I remember, she should be a sophomore this year, right? What happened to her?"

Wu Suyun sighed, "Sigh, they're all dead, yet they still make me worry. Didn't she used to be a live streamer and short video influencer? She was always wiggling her waist and sticking out her butt, it was really unbearable to watch, but she had quite a few fans. Recently, she met a big brother, and the two of them arranged to meet. I'm really worried about her, so I'd like to ask you to come with me."

"An internet celebrity? Okay, I'll go with you then," Shen Qingzhou readily agreed.

This isn't a meeting; it's clearly an execution by cannon fire.

"She shouldn't be short of money, so why does she want to become an internet celebrity?"

"Who can argue with that?"

……

The two walked and talked, while Xiao Qiu rode Wu Ying around them.

"By the way, Xiao Shen, have you ever thought about getting a girlfriend?"

Shen Qingzhou immediately glanced at her sideways. Good heavens, she actually wants to freeload off me and become my mother-in-law.
