After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan: "Σ(?Д?;)"

Huh?! You're reluctant to part with it?!

Does the goddess Nuwa love us that much?

Erlang Shen left Zhou Yan's bedroom and returned to the living room.

Inside the living room, Erlang Shen dialed the local police station's number 4 again.

"Officer Wang, it's like this, one of my informants told me that Lin Ziwei has women's clothing at home, but he actually lives alone."

"Women's clothing? Oh, I'll go ask the forensic team at the scene."

"We've asked around, and there are indeed fragments of women's clothing. However, Lin Ziwei's house exploded, and the clothes were mixed in with those of the neighbor, so it's impossible to tell which one belongs to whom."

As a police officer, when computers and cell phones explode, as long as there are still some fragments, it's still relatively easy to extract the data from the fragments. However, when clothes are mixed in with the neighbor's clothes, it's much harder to tell who is whose.

Without Zhou Yan's reminder, most of the police officers focused their attention on checking cell phones and computers and investigating Lin Ziwei's interpersonal relationships.

The chances of getting a reward from investigations in these places are obviously much higher than in other places.

Police resources are limited, and most of the time they can only investigate a few valuable leads. Only when they can't find the most valuable leads will they search for other leads in descending order of value.

"I had the informant draw up a sketch of the clothing design. Officer Wang, could you investigate that?"

"Okay, send me the clothing design, and I'll have someone investigate it right now."

Erlang Shen sent the design drawn by Zhou Zhong*＂ｑ：[♂俬琳≈泤∧◇∞￡娰衍 to Officer Wang, and then hung up the phone.

……

Hailan Bar.

The celestial dog parked a car outside the bar.

After getting off the bus, a few thugs came up.

"Hello, Brother Yang..."

"Good morning, Brother Yang..."

"Brother Yang, we've arrested all the people you wanted."

The Celestial Dog nodded in satisfaction and entered the bar surrounded by several thugs.

It's almost noon now, and the bar should be closed at this time, but most things in this world can be solved with violence, especially when a loaded gun is pointed at your head; even the sleepiest person can be jolted awake.

After Xiaotianquan entered the bar, the bartenders, waiters, and manager were all sitting behind the bar, with a few thugs playing with guns sitting next to them.

"Hello, Brother Yang!"

"Brother Yang, a chair..."

"Brother Yang, please have a seat..."

As soon as Xiaotianquan approached the bar counter, several thugs who were closest to him immediately brought him a chair and drinks, and even stood behind him as a backdrop.

The Celestial Hound ignored the eager little fellows and only glanced at the somewhat unnatural bar employee in front of him.

"Don't worry, everyone. You haven't offended us. We're just here to ask a few questions."

After taking out photos of Lin Ziwei from his pocket and pushing them in front of the bar staff, Xiaotianquan asked a question.

"Has anyone seen this person before?"

The bar staff exchanged glances, and after many signaling glances, the most handsome bartender stepped forward, picked up the photo of the dog, and looked at it.

"This person..." 8

The bartender glanced at the guns in the hands of the thugs around him and said weakly. 2

"I...I've seen it before."

The Celestial Hound pulled out a thick wad of RMB from his pocket; judging by its thickness, it was at least ten thousand.

The Celestial Dog pointed at the RMB coins with its hand. 3

"Speak."

The bartender's eyes lit up. For some reason, the moment he saw the stack of RMB, his fear of firearms diminished at an unimaginable speed.

"This person is, well, a very strange person."

The bartender searches Lin Ziwei's memories by scraping her belly.

“Normally, people come to bars either to drown their sorrows or to pick up girls. As an employee, besides chatting and communicating with customers, I sometimes also have to organize team building activities for female and male customers.”

Drinking at a bar is secondary; the main purpose is socializing. As a bartender, you need to be eloquent and knowledgeable about many games, such as King's Game, Werewolf, and magic tricks. As long as you can create a lively atmosphere among the customers, the bar will be popular.

But Lin Ziwei is a very strange exception.

"This customer doesn't seem to come to the bar to drink, nor is he looking for other lonely people. Every time he comes, he only orders a bottle of cold water. If that's not enough, he drinks juice. He never touches any alcoholic beverages. Once, I saw that he was lonely and wanted to introduce him to one of our most beautiful regulars, but he refused..."

The bartender had a strange expression.

"Later, I tried recommending some handsome men to him..."

The Celestial Dog almost choked on its own saliva.

Ziwei Search: Qi Si 々№[∪Lu/≥？ Lin》'Qi)♀ Emperor introduces the same...

Young man, are you trying to get yourself killed?

The bartender shrugged.

"In the end, this guy still wasn't interested."

The Celestial Dog then pulled out another 10,000 RMB.

"And then? I need more information, remember, more information!"

The bartender stared at the 20,000, his eyes practically brimming with eagerness.

"The amount of information... well, I... I see this guy doesn't want either women or men, so I... I asked him, is there no woman in the world he can find attractive?"

The bartender was a little thirsty, so he took out a bottle of water from under the bar, took a sip, and continued.

"This guy said he does, and I'm curious, what kind of woman would catch his eye?"

"This guy told me that the woman he liked was irritable and had a bad temper. Even though they had a child, she ran away from home over a small matter and even kidnapped her own child."

The bartender shook his head.

"After hearing this, I told this guy that this kind of woman is not suitable. If he is willing, I can introduce him to some women who are good-tempered and will not cause trouble."

The celestial dog retorted.

"And the woman you introduced him to, this guy had absolutely no interest in her?"

The bartender said weakly.

"Yes, I still don't understand what this guy is doing at our bar. He doesn't drink or socialize, he just sits there all alone."

"What about you guys? Does anyone know anything about this brother?"

The Celestial Dog pulled out another wad of RMB from its pocket.

"Who said these belong to him!"

A waitress seemed to have a spring under her buttocks; she sprang up in a flash and landed in front of the Celestial Dog.

“I, I, I know a little about this guy. I talked to him before. When I was going home, I was blocked by a few drunks. This guy chased away the gamblers and took me home. When I got back, I saw a car pull up in front of him. It was a woman’s car.”

The waitress's tone softened.

"The man got into the woman's car and drove away."

The celestial dog hurriedly asked.

Do you remember this car's license plate number?

The waitress smiled wryly.

“That happened so many days ago. Even if I remembered it then, I can’t remember it now. But I can provide the car’s appearance and brand.”

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Getting on the Bus

Take out a bowl and line it with blanched amaranth, enoki mushrooms, taro, and sausage.

The phone rang at that moment.

Erlang Shen put the phone aside, turned on speakerphone, and a familiar voice came through.

"Young Master Zhou?"

Erlang Shen hummed in agreement.

The person on the other end of the phone knew that Erlang Shen didn't like to talk much, so he continued.

"You want our cheap clothes? We've pretty much done our research."

Erlang Shen paused in his cooking. Almost five hours had passed since he ordered the police to investigate the case.

Considering the time involved, the search wasn't particularly slow or fast.

"What's going on with these clothes?"

"We checked online and found that these clothes were made by a very famous handmade clothing studio in our city, and they're quite expensive."

Erlang Shen asked in confusion. (缌)

"Handmade clothes, is that something Lin Ziwei can afford?"

Labor costs in the Eastern United States have always been very high, especially in these handmade clothing studios, which are basically made for high-class people in the upper class. How could normal people possibly afford them?

“Yes, we also investigated Lin Ziwei’s salary and found that it would take this caregiver two years’ worth of wages to afford just one outfit. Lin Ziwei even took out a loan of over a million yuan for these few outfits.”

Erlang Shen walked to the wok, put down the beef tallow hot pot block, watched the beef tallow melt, and then asked again.

"Why would someone take out a loan of over a million yuan just to buy a few pieces of clothing?"

"I was also very curious about this, so I went to the studio to ask the designer there. You know, these designers usually get to know their customers well in order to design good clothes."

Since the clothes are handmade, the customer's body shape, ideas, and the temperament they want to express can be discussed in depth with the designer before customization.

This was a lengthy process, and Lin Ziwei spent a considerable amount of time communicating with these designers.

"The designer said that when Lin Ziwei came to order the clothes, he did not bring the owner of the clothes with him. He just gave her body measurements and said that the clothes were made for his wife."

Erlang Shen became curious.

"Wife? Lin Ziwei has a girlfriend?"

"No, at least we haven't heard from Lin Ziwei's colleagues and friends that he has a girlfriend, and we didn't find any women's personal care products like shower gel in his bombed-out home."

Erlang Shen pondered for a moment.

"So this girlfriend seems to be a very good clue?"

"Yes. We are currently investigating Lin Ziwei's connections and preparing to bring out this girlfriend whose whereabouts are unknown."

"Then I won't trouble Officer Wang. Please contact me again once you've found your girlfriend."

"Uh-huh……"

Officer Wang on the other end of the line hung up the phone.

After Erlang Shen melted the beef tallow hot pot base, he added water, then added the coated beef. Once it was cooked to perfection, he poured it into a bowl filled with side dishes.

Finally, and most importantly, sprinkle chili peppers over the boiled pork, then drizzle it with oil.

The aroma is fully released by the hot oil.

Erlang Shen sniffed it and nodded in satisfaction.

As a god who has been single for thousands of years, these dishes are a piece of cake for him.

Erlang Shen picked up the still sizzling boiled beef and walked to the bedroom where Zhou Yan was.

"Wanwan..."

"Come in..."

Erlang Shen opened the door with one hand and walked into Zhou Yan's bedroom.

Zhou Yan was sitting on the edge of the bed, her freshly washed hair still wet. Her long, beautiful hair covered the girl's face, so Erlang Shen could only catch glimpses of Zhou Yan's bored gaze occasionally beneath her hair.
