Wu Bei nodded: "Very good. It seems that you are a smart person."
Zhang Xuanbai said: "Brother Wu asked him to send me back?"
Wu Bei nodded: "This person knows you and the Zhang family, so it is most appropriate for him to send you back. Moreover, I use restrictions to control his life and death, so he does not dare to do harm to Brother Zhang."
Zhang Xuanbai nodded: "That's fine. As his eldest son, it is easier to see my father."
Wu Bei: "Brother Zhang, please notify me in time when he returns home."
Zhang Xuanbai: "Okay, Brother Wu, just don't worry."
Wu Bei looked at Qinglin and said, "You should know that this is another opportunity for your Qing family to take off. And although you are the heir, you must be under a lot of pressure."
Qinglin's heart tightened. Indeed, he was facing huge pressure now. One of his half-brothers suddenly rose to prominence, and his father had already wavered on the choice of the crown prince. He had a hunch that if he didn't make changes, he might
It is difficult to keep the position of the Crown Prince. Now, if he can hug Zhang Xuanbai's thigh tightly, then the position of the Crown Prince will be as stable as Mount Tai!
"I understand!" Qinglin said quickly.
"Get ready and we'll leave in two hours!"
Qinglin first asked people to announce to the outside world that he had obtained the immortal jade, and then contacted the family's confidants in advance to prepare them for the reception.
Two hours later, Wu Bei saw him off in person at Qinglin's manor. For convenience, Mao Tie was also taken there, and he will continue to serve as Zhang Xuanbai's messenger.
"Brother Zhang, I hope we can meet again soon." Wu Bei said with a smile.
Zhang Xuanbai: "Brother Wu, I will see you as soon as I recover. Goodbye!"
After saying that, several people entered a simple teleportation array. This teleportation array can only be used once, and it will become invalid after use.
At this time, the magic circle glowed, a beam of light rose into the sky, and then several people disappeared.
At this time, Wu Keqi and others were standing outside the courtyard. Wu Keqi was Qinglin's slave, and he had just received the order. From now on, he must obey Wu Beiyan and be more respectful than he is to him!
Wu Keqi was a discerning person, so he quickly said: "Master Wu, has the Crown Prince Qinglin gone back?"
Wu Bei said "Hmm": "That Xu Lingguang you mentioned before, who is he?"
Wu Keqi: "This person is the person in charge of the affairs of the three provinces in the Xunxian Department. He is half a level lower than me, but he does not need my approval to do things."
Wu Bei: "He threatened you?"
Wu Keqi: "He has been very popular recently and has completed several major cases."
Wu Bei: "Qinglin asked you to obey my orders from now on. What do you want to say?"
Wu Keqi said quickly: "I will do my best for Mr. Wu!"
Wu Bei: "Very good. If you are obedient, I can also help you."
Wu Keqi's heart moved and he said: "Master Wu, I have encountered a problem right now."
Wu Bei: "Oh, what's the trouble?"
Wu Keqi: "Xu Lingguang set up a trap to offend Qiu Yingtian, the leader of the Green Forest Road in the Seven Northern Provinces. Qiu Yingtian sent two of his masters to take the villain's life."
Wu Bei: "People from the Green Forest Road dare to confront the Xunxian Division?"
Wu Keqi smiled bitterly: "Originally I didn't dare, but Xu Lingguang was behind it. If Qiu Yingtian kills me, not only will I not be held accountable, but I will also become a friend of the new head of the Seven Northern Provinces of the Immortal Patrol Division."
Wu Bei said: "So, the problem is not actually Qiu Yingtian, but Xu Lingguang. Then why does he dare to challenge you?"
Wu Keqi: "Xu Lingguang has better qualifications and has a better relationship with the big boss of Xunxian Division, so..."
"So your big boss has long wanted to replace you?" Wu Bei looked at him.
Wu Keqi nodded helplessly.
"So even if you solve this trouble, there will be more troubles later. In my opinion, it is better to take the initiative instead of passively defending."
Wu Keqi was stunned: "What does Mr. Wu mean?"
Wu Bei asked him: "Let me see, the fundamental reason why your big boss asked him to compete with you is that your business ability is not as good as Xu Lingguang. As long as you do things well, Xu Lingguang will naturally no longer be a threat to you."
Wu Keqi was helpless and said: "Master Wu hit the nail on the head. Xu Lingguang is indeed very capable and has done many beautiful cases in the past few years." .??.??
Wu Bei: "Then you will do a bigger case and make the big boss look at you with admiration."
Wu Keqi was slightly startled. A bigger case? Something suddenly came to mind in his mind, and he said: "Five years ago, a series of missing persons cases occurred in the Seven Northern Provinces. All the missing persons were between the ages of fourteen and ten.
A six-year-old girl. Since the total number of missing people exceeded 10,000, the whole country was shocked, and the emperor ordered a strict investigation. Our Xunxian Division is the main investigation agency. But three years have passed, and nothing has been found in the end. "
Wu Bei: "Is this case very important to the Xunxian Division?"
Wu Keqi: "Of course. Our big boss could have been promoted to a higher level, but because he failed to complete this case, he can only stay in the Xunxian Division."
Wu Bei thought for a while and said: "Then handle this case. As long as this case is completed, no one can threaten you anymore."
Wu Keqi smiled bitterly: "Master Wu, how can I possibly solve a case that even the big boss can't handle?"
Wu Bei: "Bring the dossier now and let me take a look at it first. Maybe I can help you."
Wu Keqi was overjoyed and said quickly: "Okay, Mr. Wu, please wait a moment!"
Not long after, Wu Keqi called up the electronic files, and Wu Bei sat in front of the computer and looked through them. He found that all the missing girls had one thing in common.
They all have the same characteristics. They are all born on the vernal equinox and are no more than sixteen years old. There are only more than a thousand people born on the same day in the country. If they are between fourteen and sixteen years old, there are only a few hundred thousand.
Out of hundreds of thousands of people, more than 10,000 people are missing. This is absolutely terrifying!
Later, he discovered a second common point. All the locations where the missing girls appeared could be connected into a curve that connected many cities in the seven northern provinces.
Wu Bei suspected that there was a person or an organization, starting from one city, kidnapping the girls they needed one by one.
He said: "Three years ago, I didn't even know that this big case was happening. It seems that the authorities have blocked it and disappeared."
Wu Keqi: "Yes. But it can't be sealed. After all, there are too many missing people. The people were extremely resentful. His Majesty the Emperor was furious and killed many officials responsible for local security."
Wu Bei: "Have any girls disappeared recently?"
Wu Keqi shook his head: "Actually, there have always been sporadic disappearances of girls aged fourteen to sixteen and born on the spring equinox. It's just that there are no reports."
Wu Bei asked: "Where was the latest crime?"
Wu Keqi said: "It's not in the Seven Northern Provinces, it's in Jiangnan Province!"
Wu Bei frowned: "They have already started arresting people in Jiangnan!"
Wu Keqi: "Yes. But the intensity is obviously not as high as before, and only a few people disappear every day. It's not like in Beiqi Province, where dozens or hundreds of people disappeared a day."
Wu Bei wanted to visit the location where the crime occurred in the past month. He found that the crime locations were scattered and there was no pattern to be found. It seemed that the other party committed the crime randomly.
Wu Bei: "Several people go missing every day, so someone will report the case today."
Wu Keqi: "It should be."
Wu Bei: "Give me the latest case now, and you and I will investigate the case together!"
