Chapter 120: Item: Tracking Doll

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Bai was completely stunned.

Just now…

After he voiced his doubts, he thought of many reasons why his sister-in-law left Old Fu without saying goodbye.

‘But…

Xu Bai did not expect that to be the reason.

He had to pause for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Xu Bai looked at Old Fu. He asked his second question, curious.

“Did you do it on purpose?”

“Uh…

Old Fu’s eyes became a little blurry.

“Actually, it wasn’t be considered intentional. At that time, the bureau’s undercover mission was to kill them if they couldn’t find any evidence of their crimes. That day, someone murdered him, so I took him and ran away. Then, the story was that… he drowned in the river.”

When Xu Bai heard Old Fu’s explanation, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.

“Wait a minute.”

He suddenly realized something.

Xu Bai gulped and looked at Old Fu. “Let me get this straight. So, you were the one who killed your boss. Then, at your boss’s wake, you and Sister-in-law…” Heavenly Dao above!

Inside Xu Bai’s heart, Old Fu’s strong and respectable image completely collapsed.

This was crazy.

‘I never imagined such a thing.’

Old Fu looked at Xu Bail s shifting gaze and shook his head with a bitter smile. “At that time, I had just joined Homeland Security. I was young and impetuous.

Ever since she left, I’ve regretted it.”

Xu Bai looked at Old Fu suspiciously. “Do you regret fighting in the mourning hall?”

Old Fu shook his head.

“No. I regret telling her that I killed the boss.”

Xu Bai suddenly did not want to say anything.

Old Fu had always been the inspiration behind him joining law enforcement.

However…

He suddenly realized that the rock that he had always thought was so tall and majestic was actually eroded and had a shaky foundation.

Old Fu sighed. “So, after I learned the whereabouts of the mother and daughter,

I accepted Su Bancheng’s conditions and signed a confidentiality agreement.

Then, I left and claimed I was sick.”

Xu Bai recalled Fu Sichen, who had been alone all these years, and frowned. “So, where are Sister-in-law and your daughter?”

Old Fu looked up at Xu Bai as if he wanted to say something, but then he shook his head and changed the topic. “Forget it. I’ll tell you when I feel like it. Are you sure it’s Zuo Lei?”

Xu Bai did not push further. He listened to Old Fu’s question and nodded.

“Yes, I’m sure!” “That’s strange.”

“What happened?”

“Back then, after the two suspects gave up Zuo Lei’s name, we immediately went to arrest him. However, when we chased Zuo Lei to the Delson River, he roared at us and jumped into the river. We searched for him all night but couldn’t find him.’

Old Fu recalled his memories from back then. “After that, all Zuo Lei’s information and all traces of his existence were erased. Needless to say, the Su family also took action, but that’s not important. In short, until I retired from my illness, I was secretly looking for Zuo Lei, but he really seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. I thought…”

As he spoke…

Old Fu looked at Xu Bai meaningfully.

He understood.

Old Fu had always thought that Zuo Lei had been secretly killed by the Su family.

Anywhere else, if the Su family wanted to disappear without leaving any traces, it might be challenging to do so.

However, in Feng City, if the Su family wanted an ordinary person to disappear from this world, they had the ability to do so.

Xu Bai thought to himself as he looked at Old Fu.

“You just said that when Zuo Lei was jumping into the river, he shouted something. What exactly was it?”

“It was, ‘You adulterous couple. Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you get away with this!”‘

“Wha—”

“Now you know why I’m not so sure.”

Old Fu looked at the stunned Xu Bai and told him what he had been uncertain about.

Xu Bai opened his mouth.

This amount of information…

Was overwhelming.

He frowned as his thoughts raced. After a while, he put away his badge and came back to his senses. He said to Old Fu, “I’ll leave first.

He needed to go home and have some peace.

Then, he would think about it.

After all, this news was too explosive.

If this was true, it did explain why the Su family spared no effort to eliminate any traces of Zuo Lei’s existence. At the same time, they spent a lot of effort to make Su Ruyu’s information unmarried.

However…

That couldn’t be.

Even if the Su family was not a prestigious family, they were at least a transcendent family. Moreover, they belonged to the Archaic Mysteries Sect, one of the eight immortal cultivation sects. They could not possibly not have such rules.

Xu Bai felt that he had used too much of his brain. He needed to go back and calm down before digesting this information.

Old Fu did not say anything. However, when Xu Bai stood up and was about to leave, he still spoke to him.

“Lil Bai.”

“Yeah.”

“Once the Su family finds out that you tried to investigate this matter and that Zuo Lei even appeared, they will definitely not sit back and watch you restart the investigation.”

“Huh.”

The corners of Xu Bail s mouth curled up. “They already know, but I don’t have anything on them that can stop me. Moreover, they can’t offer me a bargaining chip that I can accept.”

With that…

Xu Bai turned around and walked out of the door. He waved his hand without looking back. “Don’t worry, Fu. I’ll give you an answer if you don’t find out the Old Fu looked at Xu Bai, who had opened the door and left, and did not say anything.

When Xu Bai returned home, he found his small blackboard and wrote down the three parties involved in this case.

Su Ruyu.

Su Bancheng.

Zuo Lei.

Xu Bai crossed his arms and stood in front of the small blackboard. He looked thoughtfully at the three names on the small blackboard.

It was not difficult to discover the truth of this case.

Whether it was Zuo Lei or Su Bancheng, they did not have the credibility of the testimony. Even if they did, what they said was only one-sided.

Only Su Ruyu knew the truth of this case.

‘Still…’

Xu Bai shook his head.

He did not think that Su Ruyu would tell the truth even if he found her.

After all, if this case was really just a simple kidnapping case, he could not think of a motive for the Su family to cover up this case so tightly.

As Xu Baicheng thought about this, his gaze swept past Su Ruyu and Su Bancheng’s names and landed on Zuo Lei’s name.

“I should have given Zuo Lei some time yesterday to say more.

‘I can’t.’

Next time, he should give the villains some time to talk so that it wouldn’t be like now.

He wondered if Zuo Lei was dead.

Xu Bai shook his head. With a thought, he summoned the game store and opened the item column. He scrolled down twice and locked onto one of the items.

[Item Name: Tracking Doll]

[Item Quality: White]

[Item Effect: As the name suggests, he can help you find where the person you want to find is. Tell him his name and then follow him.]

[Price: 10,000]

[Note: It’s said that this was created by a female cultivator in order to find her husband, who listens to music all year round. Therefore, he’s very good at finding men, but it might not be very useful for finding women.]

This was the one.

Xu Bai immediately placed an order to buy it. After the tracking doll was settled, he entered the inventory and took out the latter.

The first thing he saw was…

A small female doll holding a kitchen knife appeared in Xu Bail s hand. The doll had an aggressive expression as it grabbed the kitchen knife, looking like it was preparing to catch Xu Bai in the act.

“It feels weird to use this.’

Xu Bai blinked and muttered. Then, he shook his head and took out Zuo Lei’s faked-death human skin from his inventory. “Forget it. As long as it works.” As he spoke.

Xu Bai took the mini kitchen knife from the doll’s hand and wrote Zuo Lei’s name on it with a pen. Then, he put the kitchen knife back into the doll’s hand and stuffed the faked-death human skin into the doll’s other hand.

The next second…

The eyes of the small doll on the table instantly lit up. It grabbed the fake-death human skin and sniffed it. Then, it turned to look at the name on its kitchen knife. Under Xu Bail s gaze, its eyes quickly darted around.

Xu Bai watched with interest.

At this moment.

Ding ding ding!

The phone rang.

Xu Bai glanced at the puppet that was still rolling its eyes as if it was searching for Zuo Lei. He took out his phone and flipped it open. He looked at the caller ID and raised his eyebrows.

He answered the call.

Xu Bai was the first to speak. “Team Leader An.”

An Ya’s voice came from the phone.

“Where are you?”

“Can I help you?”

“Has the 48th Precinct’s case been transferred to you?”

“Yes, it is.”

Xu Bai was slightly taken aback. Then, he smiled and said, “Team Leader An, did you call me at the 48th Precinct?”

An Ya turned to look at Chen MO, who was standing at the door and stealing glances at her. She opened the car door and got in. “Yes, I’m at the 48th Precinct.”

When she saw that this case had not entered the system of the 38th Precinct, she thought that Xu Bai had not gone through the procedures to get the transfer documents, so she rushed to the 48th Precinct immediately and prepared to intercept this case before Xu Bai did.

‘But…

However, she was still a step too late.

Agent Chen MO from the 48th Precinct had officially handed this case over to Agent Xu Bai from the 38th Precinct. The official documents had also been recorded.

I was right.

xu Bam smuea.

“Team Leader An, you probably called at this time because Su Bancheng asked you to come. He wants me to not investigate this case and transfer it to him like last time. He also wants me to sign a confidentiality agreement?”

Sitting back in the car, An Ya listened to Xu Bai’s voice on the other end of the phone. Her fingers, which were about to push the car’s ignition, paused slightly and she frowned. “More or less. Are you interested?”

Xu Bai smiled. “Sorry, nope!”

An Ya was speechless..
