Dragon Gate Swordsman

"Selling arms makes you rich overnight."

"Don't talk nonsense to me, you know what I mean."

"Then Xingxiong, do you think... someone deliberately tricked them into doing this?"

"They are young and hot-tempered, they love violence, and they don't know how to control their strength. It's easy to fool these gangsters. The question is what do they want to do?"

After investigation, it has been determined that the caravan that was robbed was transporting common items that were not particularly valuable, and the identities of the caravan members were also ordinary.

In this case, the motive of the crime is very questionable.

"Those idiots in the organization and the people who provided them with weapons have denied any connection. It's too troublesome to start from this aspect. If you, Chongxiao, take action..."

"Wait a minute, Xingxiong... Just because I arrested someone doesn't mean I can easily get to the bottom of the matter. Besides, that was done during my off-duty period. It can't be considered my official job, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense to me. The girl you rescued last time must have a very special identity. Go ask her. Maybe the case will be solved right away."

With Xingxiong's sharp eyesight, since he could see Chen Huijie's character at a glance, it was natural for him to see that Lin Yuxia's identity was not simple. Moreover, in Longmen, it seemed that the only one who could actively investigate various incidents and solve them like the Guards Bureau was the Rat King.

Therefore, Xingxiong concluded that going directly to her would definitely save him some energy.

But at the same time, this unconventional investigation behavior has also become one of the reasons why she will always have difficulty in getting promoted in the future...

……

Lin Kee Tea House.

The last time they separated in the infected settlement area, Lin Yuxia did not leave any contact information, but left this address and said that if Mr. Chongxiao needed help, he could find her here.

The sharp-eyed and careful Xingxiong took note of this at the time, but he didn't expect it to be used so soon...

Standing in front of the teahouse's door, Chongxiao looked up at the plaque with vigorous calligraphy, then pushed the door open and walked in.

The interior of the teahouse is smaller than it looks from the outside, and there are not many tables of guests... In modern society, tea art has become a luxury that only the middle and upper classes can enjoy. As for ordinary Longmen citizens, they will not go to a teahouse specifically if they want to drink tea.

Chongxiao randomly chose a table and sat down. Soon, a waiter in cheongsam came over.

"Excuse me, sir, what can I order?"

"I'm here to see Miss Lin."

"Sir, you may have come to the wrong place. Our boss is a gentleman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has no children."

Chongxiao frowned and then said, "Lin Yuxia, she's not here?"

The waiter's expression did not change at all, but he changed the subject: "In that case, I can ask for you, please wait a moment."

After saying that, she turned and left.

As he was still thinking about helping Master Mo Li revise the script, Chong Xiao didn't think much about it until the waiter appeared again and invited him to the private room upstairs for a chat. Only then did he realize that he seemed to be being watched.

Three... No! There were four pairs of eyes in total, fixed firmly on him.

This teahouse is indeed not an ordinary place...

Chongxiao originally planned to find out what those people were thinking, but considering that they might be Lin Yuxia's subordinates, he gave up... After all, he had a good feeling about the girl who took the initiative to enter the infected area to investigate.

Of course, this perception has nothing to do with the fact that she is a beautiful girl with long flowing hair!

The waiter brought Chongxiao to a large room, which was where Ma Si, Mr. Jiang, and Boss Pei came to ask the Rat King for help.

But the difference was that this time Lin Yuxia walked out directly instead of sitting behind the screen in the inner hall.

"It's been a few days since I last saw you, Mr. Chongxiao."

"Ah...yes, yes."

Faced with Lin Yuxia, who was dressed in a modern Dayan palace costume, Chongxiao was obviously at a loss.

You should know that this modern palace dress, which is improved from traditional aristocratic clothing, has been simplified in many aspects of accessories. It is the standard dress for officials of Dayan to attend formal occasions, which corresponds to the business suits popular in countries such as Victoria.

So...if Lao Wei came here, it would be fine for her to wear this, but she...

Little did she know that Lin Yuxia was even more embarrassed at this moment.

This modern palace dress was certainly not prepared for Chongxiao, but for the coming-of-age ceremony at the end of the year.

Compared to Chen Huijie, who lives in an open and free environment, and Shi Huaiya, who is a Victorian herself, Lin Yuxia received the most standard traditional education of Dayan. Although she was exposed to many foreign things in the process of growing up, she was the same as the ladies of the Yan Kingdom hundreds of years ago in her bones.

Therefore, such a big event as the coming-of-age ceremony naturally requires good preparation.

But she didn't expect that just after she changed her clothes, her subordinates informed her that Chongxiao was coming to visit...

"If Mr. Chongxiao needs help, he can find me here." Lin Yuxia said this herself. Now that he has come to her house, she still has to take her time to change clothes, which is not appropriate.

So the girl simply made up her mind and showed up.

Fortunately, I'm not trying on a bikini or something...

"Mr. Chongxiao, have you run into any trouble?"

Although modern palace dresses have made a lot of subtractions compared to traditional Yan country aristocratic clothing, removing the matching crowns, ribbons, wide sleeves and pleated skirts, and no longer deliberately adding a large number of gilded patterns and embroidery as decorations, they still retain elements such as tube tops, long gowns, gauze skirts and belts, so they are not clothing that is convenient for activities.

In a sense, this kind of palace dress is also a product that helps the wearer maintain a dignified demeanor from a "hardware" perspective.

Therefore, Lin Yuxia, who was sitting on the wooden chair, had to straighten her waist and put her legs together, posing in the most formal posture... It was just like a princess or a princess in the palace meeting guests.

Wait, logically speaking, isn’t Xiaolongnu the princess?

Chongxiao secretly swallowed his saliva and suppressed all the doubts and surprise in his heart.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you something."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Yesterday I caught a group of robbers outside the Dragon Gate. I don't know if they had a brain injury or what, but they started fighting right next to the Dragon Gate."

"This is really reckless and should be severely punished."

"That's... But Xingxiong interrogated them and found that..."

Chongxiao paused for a moment, "They are all gang members of Longmen."

"……what?"

Lin Yuxia's expression suddenly became serious.

Inside the mobile city, with her omnipresent spies, she can get certain information faster than the Guard Bureau, but that won't work outside the city, after all, the gangs won't go out at will.

And with Lin Yuxia's brain, her reaction speed will only be faster than Xingxiong's.

"That group of people alone would not have the guts to do this. As for the organizers, we have not found any evidence to arrest them."

"I understand, Mr. Chongxiao, I will investigate this matter as soon as possible."

Thorough investigation?

Chongxiao blinked, and his evaluation of Lin Yuxia increased a bit.

He actually doesn't mind using some less-than-conventional means to solve cases, even when dealing with underworld forces, which is exactly the same as Xingxiong.

From this point of view, it is very necessary to establish and maintain a good relationship with Lin Yuxia, which is a collaboration between the police and the public.

Let me repeat again, this idea has nothing to do with the fact that she is a beautiful girl with long flowing hair!

"If you have any news, please inform me immediately and the special inspection team will be dispatched immediately."

"...No problem, Mr. Chongxiao."

That being said, even without using his mind-reading ability, Chongxiao could see Lin Yuxia's hesitation and insincerity.

Obviously, even though the Guards and the Rat King have the same goal in dealing with certain problems within Longmen, they do not intend to work together...

Or... find a way to drag Lin Yuxia into the Guard Bureau?

This thought flashed through Chongxiao's mind and took root.

"Mr. Chongxiao, is there anything else?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to have glue stuck under his butt and couldn't get up, Lin Yuxia couldn't help but feel anxious.

The main reason was that the clothes I was wearing were not suitable for meeting guests on a daily basis, and even less suitable for being alone with the opposite sex, so I kept saying in my heart, "Mr. Officer, please get out of here as soon as possible..."

Unexpectedly, Chongxiao suddenly made a request that she had never expected.

"Well... can you help me find a good screenwriter?"

……

"The Cold-Faced Detective vs. the Ancient Monster"

During the Jia Guan period of the Great Yan Dynasty, many murders occurred near the southwestern capital Yuancheng. All the victims died in horrific and tragic ways.

Du Yuan's detective Hui Han was ordered to solve the case. Based on the clues, he investigated a mysterious woman. During the pursuit, they both fell into an ancient underground city and had to work together to find a way to escape.

As they get along, Hui Han learns that the mysterious woman's real name is Xi Hua. He secretly falls in love with her and firmly believes that she is not the murderer. However, after escaping the ancient city, they are besieged by the Xing Luo cult. Xi Hua is abducted by them and Hui Han is seriously injured and on the verge of death. He is later rescued by disciples of the Qinglian Sect, a sect of immortal cultivation.

Hui Han insisted on going to the headquarters of the Xingluo cult to rescue his sweetheart. To this end, he reported to the mayor of Duyuan City and asked for help. With the help of 5,000 infantrymen, he fought with the cult's troops in the desert outside Sichuan.

However, when Huihan and Xihua met again, the leader of Qinglian Sect, Lingwu, came with his disciples and bluntly stated that Xihua's true identity was the ancient demon beast Zizai, and vowed to kill it.

Hui Han refused to obey, and in desperation he burst out with the power of the Ancestral Dragon, destroying the Qinglian Sect's demon-slaying formation in one fell swoop. However, this also awakened Zizai's consciousness, and Xihua transformed into a giant monster and began to move towards Duyuan City.

The Lord of Duyuan City had no choice but to sacrifice a giant mechanical man developed by exploiting civilians to fight. At the same time, the Qinglian Sect activated an ancient artifact to transform into the mythical beast Xian Jing, and the Xingluo cult sacrificed their souls to summon the evil beast Eight-Armed Shura.

In the end, the giant mechanical man was destroyed, Zizai's power dissipated and he turned back into Xihua who died, Huihan's martial arts were completely destroyed, Xian Jing and the Eight-Armed Shura died together, Ling Wu of the Qinglian Sect was killed and seriously injured, and the Xingluo cult was completely destroyed.

"…Sir…are you obsessed with monsters?"

"No."

"Then why would a fairy tale like this end with a battle between four giant monsters as the climax? What about the murder case at the beginning? What is the underground ancient city for? Is the Lord of Duyuan City just a tool?"

"Uh... there are actually five monsters. If you didn't look closely, the protagonist's ancestral dragon power can also turn him into a big dragon."

"I think the key issue is not the number of monsters."

Screenwriter Liu put his hand on his forehead and helplessly put the script that Chongxiao handed to him on the table. "Suspense, criminal investigation, horror, romance, fairy tales, war, human nature, and a little political satire in it. It's just a mess. If a movie made according to this script can have good box office, then I can just quit."

“Is it…is it really that bad?”

"Based on my many years of experience, yes."

"Then could you help me fix it?"

Chongxiao made the request shamelessly.

Lin Yuxia's efficiency is truly amazing. I just went to see her in the morning, and someone contacted Chongxiao in the afternoon, saying that they could take a look at the ready-made script.

So, Chongxiao ran out with Mo Li's script... Right now, the most important thing is to quickly get this done and let the master repair the Chixiao Sword. Otherwise, I don't know how Old Wei will make things difficult for me...

But it is obvious that the screenwriter Liu that Lin Yuxia contacted has nothing to do with the gang, and he does not intend to be a scapegoat.

"I'm quite busy these days, I don't think I can spare the time."

Come on, this kind of crap script makes me sick just by looking at it for one more second. I won’t do it even if you pay me!

What screenwriter Liu said was completely opposite to what he thought in his heart, and Chongxiao easily read his real thoughts.

But we can't blame others. With Lin Yuxia as the middleman, screenwriter Liu would definitely not come to discuss the script with malicious intent. The only possibility is that Master Mo Li's script is really unbearable to read.

"If we don't change the script, can we hire a good actor as a gimmick?"

Chongxiao's eyes rolled around, and he immediately came up with a weird idea, "For example, the recently popular Wan Shengsheng?"

He actually seldom watches TV. He heard this name from Haoyun. I remember that he seemed to be a star who had become famous recently. He was handsome, had a sweet voice, could fight, and had good acting skills, so his popularity was rising rapidly.

However, screenwriter Liu couldn't bear it any longer and gave him a look of contempt.

"I've already said that I'm a bit busy lately, so I don't want to waste your time here."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

By the way, due to limited funds, Chongxiao and screenwriter Liu met in a neighborhood park with stone tables and stone chairs, so it is not difficult to understand why the other party's expression was not very good.

If it weren't for Lin Yuxia's sake, I guess they wouldn't even meet.

As for walking away in anger, although it was a bit rude, Chongxiao had no right to feel resentful.

If you want to blame someone... you can only blame Master Mo Li for his scripts being so hard to accept... It seems that the saying "different trades, different worlds" is true.

I took out my cell phone to check the time. There were still more than four hours before the night duty started. It was a bit too early to go back to the Guard Bureau for dinner.

Looking at Mo Li's disliked script, Chongxiao's face was full of confusion.

According to screenwriter Liu, it would not be possible to change the script just by making changes... The biggest problem with the script is that the logic of the elements piled up is inexplicable, and the only way to do it is subtraction, but this requires reorganizing the story line.
