Even a Shaman Needs Evening Self Study

Chapter 59 - Jun Xing Shi Part 1

With Tan Xiao's appeal, the crowd who were originally watching in shock also reacted, clumsily supporting Mu Fei and pulling Fang Zhu away.

Seeing Tan Xiao adopt his strategy, Xiong Hui couldn't help but laugh heartily, only to be stepped on by Kong Xuan again.

Ah Jin, unable to fully investigate, felt regretful, but also a bit comforted. He knew men could give birth to children.

"Let's do the transcript first," Liu Qingquan said. This time, Tan Xiao and Kong Xuan also joined in as witnesses, with Ah Jin present to record. Listening while nodding continuously, deeply appreciating the plot.

"Let's separate it, first talk about Mu Fei's case." Liu Qingquan first made a record of this kidnapping case, confiscated Fang Zhu's mobile phone, and imported all the data into Ah Jin's server as evidence, and then the case within the case.

Fang Zhu had already blocked the person who deceived him with the demon-slaying trap, but he still kept some chat records. Everyone took a look, the other party's WeChat name was "Jun Xing Shi", and it was indeed set up so that friends could not be added, and the address could not be traced.

"Since you've had a confrontation with the other party, did you find out their background?" Liu Qingquan asked, such as race, appearance, martial arts, even accent, all counted as clues.

"At that time, we agreed to meet at the entrance of Yunmeng Marsh. The other party used some kind of long-range attack magic weapon from afar to take my life. I immediately hid in my shell to save my life. Feeling something was wrong, I handed over my great-grandmother's bones, but unexpectedly, the other party was relentless. While I was running back, I took a glance and saw it was a dog demon, opening its big mouth to swallow me. In the end, it was a close shave, almost biting me..."

Fang Zhu had lived in Yunmeng Marsh for many years. After taking human form, he mostly did some aquatic product business locally, especially after the development of the internet. He was quite a homebody and didn't really go out much, so he really didn't know many demon races.

But when he said this, Tan Xiao couldn't help frowning, always feeling... a bit familiar.

"A powerful dog demon with a penchant for devouring?" Tan Xiao muttered.

Hearing him repeat the keywords like this, Mu Fei also seemed to be reminded: "Are you thinking of the Huodou previously, the Beagle? If you mention it, we did find a few cases of demon disappearances in Nanchu before, suspecting it was the culprit, but this guy has always been like squeezing toothpaste, refusing to reveal what wasn't found, and only admitting when there was real evidence in front of it, causing the case to keep dragging on."

"Right, right, this case is now being handled by Elder Baoping." Liu Qingquan also remembered.

"Although it seems similar, it's unlikely. It's still being held well in our Bureau 404, the timeline doesn't match. There are so many dog demons in the world, it's not necessarily Beagle. Fang Zhu, can the dog you saw breathe fire?"

"What is a Beagle?" Fang Zhu blinked, "What I saw was a black and brown Yorkshire Terrier. I don't know if it can breathe fire, but it can dive and chase me underwater."

"Oh, a Yorkshire Terrier is definitely not it." Tan Xiao nodded, thinking to himself that he was overthinking, and reacted with everyone present three seconds later to what it was.

Everyone: "...A Yorkshire Terrier?"

Even Kong Xuan gestured at the size, unsure: "Is it about this big?"

Fang Zhu: "Yes, yes!"

"Tsk, a standard Yorkshire Terrier only weighs about five or six pounds." Liu Qingquan imagined the scene of Fang Zhu being chased and bitten by a Yorkshire Terrier, which was a bit too miserable to watch.

Fang Zhu saw everyone's disdain for him and said aggrievedly, "It was super fierce!!"

Not bad. Although small in size, to be able to chase Fang Zhu, it must not be easy to deal with.

Tan Xiao pondered, and this Yorkshire Terrier's online name was "Jun Xing Shi", which means encouraging someone to eat more, eat well. Originally a very good blessing, but recalling its behavior always felt a bit off. Are you saying this is a food lover or a demon-eating enthusiast?

"In any case, did it disguise its appearance, or did a real pet dog really cultivate successfully?" Mu Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "Ah Jin, check the information to see if there are any records of Yorkshire Terriers committing crimes."

Ah Jin responded and quickly searched around. "In the existing data, there are no records of Yorkshire Terriers endangering an area, only some cases of them gaining spiritual intelligence.

"For example, in the capital, a veterinarian always dreamed of having his genitals bitten off at night, and later discovered that it was a Yorkshire Terrier he had neutered before, harboring a grudge and gaining spiritual intelligence to take revenge. There was also a Yorkshire Terrier in the provincial capital where its owner discovered more and more decorations at home, which turned out to be it gaining spiritual intelligence and stealing them back home..."

It can be said that none of them were big deals, not on the same level as chasing Fang Zhu to swallow him.

"Although there are no records, just like the Beagle before it was caught, it was also difficult to detect that it had actually committed crimes." Tan Xiao still remembered this point. For most disappeared demons, it was very difficult for everyone to distinguish whether they were actually in closed-door cultivation or captured by enemies, and they might even be hibernating.

"That's right. Since it even deceived Fang Zhu and its methods are so skilled, knowing to open a small account, it must be an old hand." Unlike the Beagle, this one was still at large. Mu Fei said, "Issue a notice to warn the demon race to be careful, indicating the latest fraud methods."

On one hand, alert the broad masses of the demon race, and on the other hand, file a case to continue investigating, requesting responsible units in various places to pay more attention.

After the second transcript ended, Liu Qingquan asked Mu Fei how to arrange for Fang Zhu.

Fang Zhu's body was different from other demons. It is said that he would be very weak during the pregnancy period, and out of humanitarianism, he could not be thrown into the detention center either.

"Just let him stay with Ah Jin, they will definitely hit it off." Mu Fei said coldly.

Ah Jin: "..." Oh, how did Director Mu know, he even had the draft written.

"That... wouldn't it be far from you?" Fang Zhu frowned, holding his waist, "The baby and I will miss you very much."

"Don't hold it, it's only twenty millimeters. How can you be so delicate?" Mu Fei said, speechless, "I will ask Elder Baoping to do an appraisal for you to see if the pearl is really as you said." If so, she would also consider not letting Fang Zhu go too far for safe pregnancy.

Fang Zhu said with red eyes, "It's uncomfortable to be poked..." His soft flesh had a strong rejection reaction to nurturing the clam pearl.

Mu Fei choked for a moment and turned her head, "Alright, that's it. Brother Tan Xiao, don't delay your homework."

"Actually, twenty millimeters is already quite big," Tan Xiao said. Mu Fei originally thought Tan Xiao was going to help Fang Zhu speak, but Tan Xiao continued, "I searched earlier and found that twenty millimeters is very large for pearls. A fifteen-millimeter abalone pearl sold for a hundred thousand, and an eighteen-millimeter black pearl is even more exaggerated, selling for several hundred thousand."

Fang Zhu: "..."

Fang Zhu felt faint. "You're not allowed to sell our baby!"

Tan Xiao was just using pearl prices to give Mu Fei a sense of scale. Actually, Fang Zhu's pregnancy was already quite big, but perhaps the pregnant father lacked a sense of security.

"It depends on your behavior," Mu Fei teased. "If you act crazy again, I'll put your kid up on for sale."

Fang Zhu hadn't reacted much yet, but Ah Jin took a cold breath first.

Fang Zhu: "..." What's with this person? He's even more dramatic than me.

Everyone else: "..."

... How did Ah Jin manage to make people uneasy without saying a single word?

......

After returning, Tan Xiao continued to rush to finish his winter break homework. With the new year approaching, he definitely wanted to finish early so he could enjoy the Spring Festival with peace of mind.

Moreover, at this time, Yunmeng City actually sent Tan Xiao a sum of "publicity fees". With such high online popularity and the availability of high-definition photos and video footage from the scene, they would be fools not to use it. They made plans and used it to design advertisements.

Since they used it, of course they had to pay Tan Xiao. Compared to the benefits Yunmeng City gained from this hot discussion, this copyright fee was an absolute bargain, and they were quite happy to pay it.

Tan Xiao already had some subsidies from the Bureau 404, and receiving this unexpected windfall made him equally happy. He very righteously found Kong Xuan: "Great God, you were also in the footage. I'll split half the money with you. You can buy a phone, computer, or something."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's face sank again.

Tan Xiao: "?"

No way, you're not happy even when I'm giving you money?

"What do I need money for? Don't give it to me, I don't have an account anyway." Kong Xuan said disdainfully, seeming to express that as a great god, he had no interest in such worldly money.

Well, that made sense. The items Kong Xuan casually gave out were all ancient jade artifacts.

Eh, so it all goes to the acting shaman then. Seeing his resolute appearance, Tan Xiao said, "Alright then."

Kong Xuan was still scrolling on his phone. Since getting his phone back, he had been spending this time learning how to use the internet. After a short silence, Tan Xiao found that he had come over to show Tan Xiao a phone case from an online store.

Tan Xiao didn't understand what he meant at first.

Kong Xuan stared straight at him: "I want this one. Give it to me."

Tan Xiao: "..."
