CH 11

The original owner, male, 26 years old, had his address shifted from a rural to a city residence, and had four leased out flats in Ningqing. He had a monthly income of more than 10, 000, and it would be daring to say he was wealthy, but he definitely wasn’t poor. Gu Xizhou thought this kind of man really had no need to be a policeman. This kind of dangerous and high-risk occupation, although it was heroic, there simply wasn’t a need. 

After he had searched through the whole house, the books on the bookcase were all professional books that policemen needed to understand. There wasn’t a single book on ghosts or gods, and it was evident that this man was seriously sticking to his life track. He was a policeman, and a typical non-superstitious socialist. 

Then who was the one who took out all those random things to summon Gu Xizhou?

Gu Xizhou couldn’t think of an answer, but he was fortunate enough to be able to put it aside for the time being. He thought that If he could come back to this question, it would be nice.

The next day, Gu Xizhou just arrived at the gate of the police station when he saw someone holding a wreath and standing at the entrance. There was a loud, shrieking cry in the hall, and Gu Xizhou froze at the gate for a moment. He glanced at his colleagues standing around, and their eyes all held a hint of helplessness. 

Sure enough, there was someone here to stir trouble.

Gu Xizhou walked in and saw a man and a woman. The middle-aged woman fell to the ground and cried, loudly screaming: “Repay my husband’s life! Murderer! You all are murderers!”

There were a lot of people coming and going in the lobby, and having these troublemakers here affected the air of the police station. A more experienced policeman stepped forward and asked something.

It turned out that the two of them were relatives of Li Haichuan, one of the two murderers who were killed yesterday. Gu Xizhou recalled Li He’s hardheartedness and ferocity, then looked at the pair of mother and son, and his lips twitched slightly. 

“Your husband was a fugitive. Besides, this was an accident, it’s useless to find the police station!” After finding out their identities, the old policeman couldn’t help but frown. How could these people still dare to come to the police bureau to make trouble? Those two fugitives had slaughtered seven of eight people in Ningqing, and the victims’ families had just been notified to come over to close the case this morning. Other people hadn’t even come over to pay for the services rendered, but these two people were already here trying to stir trouble.

More and more people came to work and passed by the hall. The woman refused to stop, crying and crying while she laid on the ground. “I don’t care, if you didn’t chase him, then he wouldn’t have died, you must take responsibility!”

Gu Xizhou entered the hall and heard these words. The old policeman quickly winked at him, trying to get him to leave, but he was late by just a step. The young man seemed to have recognized him and grabbed Gu Xizhou. “It’s you, you’re not allowed to leave! It’s you who killed my father!”

Gu Xizhou: “…”

The young man pulled him over, and the lady who had just been lying on the ground suddenly climbed up, strongly grabbing Gu Xizhou and scolding him viciously. “Cannot leave, you’re not allowed to leave! Return my husband’s life! The police killed someone, they’re murderers ah!”

The people surrounding them increased. A lot of people were interested in the liveliness of the situation and even took their phones out of their bags to record. If Gu Xizhou acted the way he did back in the cultivation world, this person wouldn’t even be able to fathom how many times he died!

But now he was back to the lawful rule of society, so he put up with it. 

Gu Xizhou really felt that the original owner put forth his best effort but was still attacked. Look, he was even being blamed right now, a good policeman suddenly became a murderer in the mouth of these two people trying to push blame!

He should just resign!

The old policeman was extremely upset, and scolded loudly: “No photos are allowed, it’s not what you think!”

He was very obviously displeased, and it wasn’t difficult to imagine what would happen if this situation continued. Just then, Gu Xizhou saw someone familiar.

Wang Ao was dressed in a police uniform, and he raised a brow. “What kind of noisy and disruptive system is this, this is the office lobby, not a market! The two of you, get up! I’m telling you, it is the duty of the police to chase murderers. We have to deal with the families of the victims and account for their loss. If you think there’s a problem with that, then go to court and sue! Trying to make a mess and fight here, all you’re doing is obstructing official business!”

Hearing this, the two people stared at Wang Ao’s uniform and weren’t sure of how much power he held. The young man saw the middle-aged woman being helped up, and felt pressed to give an explanation.

“P, kf vbc’a mjgf, sbe tjnf ab mbwqfcrjaf er!” Ktf kbwjc rbecvfv j ilaaif uelias.

Ktf sbecu wjc cfza ab tfg lwwfvljafis mbcalcefv: “Tfr, jcv tfiq er mjii bnfg atf ybrr bo atja wjii, kf jirb kjca tlw ab mbwqfcrjaf er!”

He was about to speak when the small policeman from yesterday, Fang Zhi, came over. Fang Zhi said with a stunned expression: “Leader Wang, Uncle Lin, Gu Ge, why are all of you still standing in the lobby? The victims’ families are here!”

Wao Ao heard this and paused. “At the door?”

“Yes! They rushed over as soon as they heard the news. We received the DNA report too late last night, so I only sent a message to the city this morning. The parents of the woman involved in the mass murder case 113 have also arrived, just now they said they were just 10 minutes away.” Fang Zhi said this all matter-of-factly. He could understand the victims’ families, once they knew the culprits had been brought to justice, no matter what was at hand, they had to drop it and come over!

The two people who were just irresponsibly making trouble heard this and their faces turned a pale white. They were planning to leave, but the door suddenly burst open, and about twenty people rushed in. “Hello, hello, we just received your notification this morning, saying that you found the two beasts who killed my son!”

“My, my poor suffering son, the police finally caught the two murderers who killed with a thousand cuts, it’s good, good that they died!”

“Wuwuwu… my poor daughter, are you seeing this from Heaven? The police finally caught them!”

The crowd of onlookers who were supporting the two people who were unnecessarily creating drama suddenly realized what was going on. They looked again at the troublemaking pair, and their expressions turned ugly. Someone shouted from the crowd: “It turns out you’re the relatives of the murderers, but you still have the face to come to the police bureau and demand compensation? Pei, really so shameless!”

Wang Ao realised that the situation wasn’t too good. Sure enough, the twenty people comprising the victims’ families that were just crying a moment ago suddenly stared at the two individuals, and the lobby immediately turned into a scene of a fight, a messy scuffle starting up at once.

“Stop fighting! Stop fighting!” The police all came down from the upper floors, forcefully pulling people apart.

Gu Xizhou held down a twelve-year-old boy. The boy turned and viciously bit on the hand holding him back, to the point where hints of blood could be seen. Gu Xizhou let go, and the child immediately rushed in front of the pair, ferociously kicking. Gu Xizhou bodily pulled the child back, this time blocking the child from biting him. Gu Xizhou pulled the child’s hands behind his back and pressed them together.

“Return my dad! Return my dad!” The boy bitterly cried.

The pair of useless people were lucky that this was a police bureau, and that the strength of the police was the strongest in the morning, or they could be beaten to death by the victims’ families!

Wan Ao brought everyone who had been involved in the fight to the upper floor. He glanced at those in the crowd who were still idling around, and said angrily: “If you’re done doing what you came here for, hurry up and leave.”

While going up, the child who was being carried by Gu Xizhou kept kicking, wanting to rush forward and beat the man and the woman one more time. Gu Xizhou ended up threatening him fiercely: “Settle down!”

The boy glanced back at Gu Xizhou. “Let me go, I need to kill them to avenge my dad!”

“What revenge? The two people are already dead, and are you aware that killing people is a crime? You’re just a young rabbit, grow up peacefully, marry someone and have kids, that will be the greatest comfort to your father.”

After bringing the people up to let them see the bodies from outside the room, the police had to deal with the matter of the fight. 

“Don’t be nervous, this is simply a procedure,” Fang Zhi said to the sitting opposite him.

“I, I won’t go to jail because of this ba?” The woman seemed to be a little uncultured, nervously and hurriedly questioning Fang Zhi.

Fang Zhi smiled at her, and lowered his voice. “Actually, I just wanted to say that you fought pretty well out there.”

The woman burst out laughing, and she instantly wasn’t nervous anymore. 

…

The two useless people were only slightly injured, and their injuries didn’t constitute any sort of crime. Considering how the victims’ families were also stimulated in the moment, in the end, the police carefully criticized and educated everyone involved. 

After the woman came out, the child that was being carried by Gu Xizhou burst out from his grasp and looked at the woman’s face. “Mom, can Dad rest in peace?”

“Of course.” The woman touched the boy’s cheek lovingly, and looked up at Gu Xizhou, nodding faintly at him.

At this time, Xiang Yuan came up. He had picked up two gray-haired elderly people from the lower floor. They walked a little slowly, but after seeing the murderers’ bodies, they burst into tears in the middle of the corridor. 

These two were the family members of the victim of the mass murder case 113. They didn’t live with their daughter, which meant they turned out to have escaped a terrible danger, but their daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and relatives all died, leaving behind these two eldery people. 

“Thank you… Thank you… Really, thank you so much, we, we have been waiting for so long, so long, it’s been two years, and now the beasts are finally dead!”

After the two elderly individuals calmed themselves, they slowly walked towards Gu Xizhou. 

Gu Xizhou’s palm felt a bit hot, and the old lady caught him. The elderly couple looked at him, warm and kind, and opened their mouths.

“Young man, thank you.”

Gu Xizhou saw the tears in the old man’s eyes, and felt a little unsure of what to do. After a while, he opened his mouth to say: “It was my responsibility.”

Being a policeman isn’t half bad, Gu Xizhou suddenly thought.

Just then, a voice suddenly came out from the interrogation room. “I don’t care, my husband died because of you! If you didn’t chase him, he wouldn’t have died! Compensation, you must pay compensation! One million and no less!”

The old man heard this sentence and peered over. When he saw the face of the woman clearly, he straightened indignantly, loudly scolding: “It’s you two shameless things again!”

When the woman saw the old man, she was visibly a little frightened of him, but she thought about how she was in the police bureau and retorted: “I want compensation for your sake too, my family has nothing at all, if they pay me money, only then can I pay you money!”

The old man pointed at her. “What a shameless thing! When did I ever want your family to pay?”

Both parties argued noisily, and Gu Xizhou felt an incredible headache washing over him. At that moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

“Gu Xizhou, we meet again.”

Hearing that voice, Gu Xizhou subconsciously turned back to look at the source of that sound. 

“It’s you, what are you doing here?” Gu Xizhou looked at the handsome and distinguished man behind him.

The man pointed inside, and said in a clean and pleasant voice: “Taking care of something.”

The man looked at the families of dozens of victims, and looked at the pair. He winked at the man in the suit who followed behind him, and the man in the suit immediately went straight to the two individuals. “Good morning, regarding the incident where the glass from the shopping mall fell and resulted in casualty, this is the compensation plan we have drafted. One person will receive 1.5 million yuan, for a total of 3 million yuan. Is this okay?”

Hearing this, the two people became happy. “Look, this is the proper and sensible way of settling things!”

The man in the suit appeared to ignore their words, and avoided the two people who were clapping their hands. He turned to look at the surrounding victims, and politely said: “Good morning, I am Feng Zhao, a lawyer of Tiandu Fengyun Group. If the families of the victims want to sue, my team of 137 lawyers can provide you with free legal support at any time, including going to court and other follow-up matters.”

“This is my business card.” The man in the suit took out a business card and started to distribute it. 

“What the fuck are you saying?” The two people who were delighted just a moment ago suddenly had a change in expression, grabbing the man in a suit and angrily scolding him. 

The man in a suit smiled at the two people. “Getting more business, can’t I do that? Also, loosen your dirty hands and be more careful, or I’ll sue until you lose your house and become completely bankrupt.

Frightened by Lawyer Feng Zhao, the arrogance of the two individuals faded instantly. 

“Chief Si, I’ll be taking my leave first.” Feng Zhao said gracefully as he adjusted his collar, looking back at the man standing at the door. 

Under Gu Xizhou’s dumbfounded gaze, Si Yu coldly agreed. 

“The mall yesterday belonged to you?”

Si Yu heard Gu Xizhou’s question and nodded. “Yes.”

Gu Xizhou approached Si Yu, and said in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear: “Then, if you had died in the mission world, in the real world, you would probably also have been killed by the glass like them ba.”

Si Yu: “…”

Gu Xizhou: “And then, the headlines of yesterday’s news would be: Shockingly Poor Management by CEO Uncovered in XX Group, Killed by A Falling Glass Panel From His Own Mall.”

Si Yu: “…” If you can’t speak properly, you can shut up!

The man, who originally didn’t want to explain himself, glared at Gu Xizhou, who suddenly laughed. The handsome face couldn’t keep his image, and he grit his teeth to explain: “The company is not under my management. The manager has already been fired by me.”

The author has something to say:

Si Yu: Everyday, I’m surviving in the mission world, I have no time or mood to manage ah! Asshole! I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!

soya: i just kept imagining Gu Xizhou unleashing his demonic cultivator powers and messing with those two people!!! ahh!!
