[The Pink Skull Case] is not an isolated case.
Subsequently, similar cases occurred one after another throughout Quang Binh County, all of which used "beauty albums" as a medium to seduce younger men, and then plotted against their yang essence.
After learning about the case, the Guangping County Ghosts and Gods Department took it seriously. They immediately joined forces with the Guangping County Government to investigate and deal with the evil ghost albums in the county, and strictly prohibited the circulation of such "albums" in the book market.
At first, the results were good, and many "evil atlases" were investigated and dealt with. Over a period of time, similar cases in various places decreased a lot.
However, the good times did not last long.
The County Department of Ghosts and Gods did not eliminate the source of the "Red Skull". It didn't take long for the case to arise again, and another outbreak broke out one after another.
Many booksellers and booksellers are serious businessmen who dare not sell "beauty albums", but "Pink Skull" secretly bought books from booksellers and covered them up with blinding methods.
Ordinary people couldn't see through the deception and bought the "Beauty Picture Album".
When I went home, most of the men were either angry at the bookseller for selling fake books, or they got the wrong book and shouted to go back and exchange it.
The first reaction of many of them was – good stuff!
Then, with surprise, curiosity, and a little guilt, each of them found a deserted place and began to read silently.
Some people have enough concentration to flip through a few pages and find it boring, so they eventually take it back and exchange it for another book.
Most people will eventually secretly collect the picture album, read it carefully, and then get to know the beauty in the painting, rub their ears with her, and fall into a gentle land step by step, from which they can no longer extricate themselves.
Faced with this situation, the County Ghosts and Gods Department took this "Red Skull Case" very seriously and issued a very high reward of 50,000 yuan for anyone who could solve the case.
Of course, the reward of 50,000 yuan is not given to one person, but to all the immortal officials who participated in the case and contributed.
The greater the merit, the greater the reward, which is distributed according to work.
Previously, Chu Chen had been involved in several major cases in Xin'an County, made some contributions, and received a lot of rewards.
That's how the reward money came from.
The county and even the state capital have no way to intervene in the amount of the reward for a serious case or whether it should be offered. They can only report the case and the Immortal Court Center will personally make a decision.
This is also easy to understand.
A place is in charge of all the affairs of demons, demons and gods in the area, and has great authority.
If the power to formulate bounties for serious cases is decentralized and supervision is insufficient, it will easily breed corruption, allowing the governor to take advantage of the loopholes and join forces with subordinates to cash in wildly through the bounties and seize huge wealth.
In the past, when there was a ghost attack during the Ghost Festival, Guangping County Ghost and God Department issued a bounty for killing ghosts. In fact, it was only announced on the schedule and approved by the Xianting Central Committee.
Speaking of which, the main source of income for middle- and high-level immortal officials is not their salary, but the rewards for serious cases and their own treasure hunts.
Chu Chen is still quite short of money.
Originally, the small treasury had a total of more than 60,000 yuan. He spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy Kongmingling ore, recruit troops and horses, and gave 10,000 yuan to Sister Wan'er. In addition to buying incense and other miscellaneous expenses, he
The savings on hand are less than 10,000, and only more than 8,000 are left.
I don’t know if the little ghost boy’s phrase “Senior brother will make a fortune” took effect, and he felt increasingly poor.
Now that he could be exposed to the bounty case of the County Ghosts and Gods Department, Chu Chen was quite happy, and he had the hope of getting rich suddenly.
"Brother Chu, how about we change the case? I have to go to Longling Mountain to search for a demon. Damn it. Longling Mountain is so big and spans the entire Qingzhou. It slipped into the mountains. How can I find it?"
Wang Ping looked at the case in his hand with a gloomy look on his face.
Chu Chen smiled: "What we are handling is a serious case. If it is not difficult, there will be no reward from the Immortal Court. Don't complain."
Wang Ping just confided in front of his friends, not because he was afraid of difficulties. He smiled and said: "Brother Chu, show me your case. Maybe I can find clues on the way and I can help you."
Chu Chen didn't say anything and handed it over.
These bounty cases are open to the public within the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods. Not only the Huang No. 1 Court can handle the cases, but the other three Courts of Heaven, Earth and Xuan can also handle the cases. Each court and each class both cooperates and competes.
The reason why the squad leader Lin Wuqing assigned the two of them a task was because they felt that as newcomers, they could bite off more than they could chew. They wanted to investigate a task carefully, accumulate experience in handling cases, and understand the process of handling serious and important cases.
"Brother Chu, I like this case of yours! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, rosy skull, beauty picture album, that's all I like!"
Wang Ping held Chu Chen's case in his hands, his face eager to try.
It seems that he really plans to exchange errands with Chu Chen.
Chu Chen didn't have any objections to the exchange case.
His [Earth Talisman] had just been successfully refined, and he went deep into the mountains to search for wanted monsters. He could also hunt for treasures at the same time, so he could do both.
He was extremely happy with this arrangement.
However, at this moment, squad leader Lin Wuqing came back and said to Wang Ping:
"The most taboo thing in handling a case is to be picky. Every serious case is related to the safety of countless people. Everyone is picky. So no matter what, just handle your own case and don't mess around."
Lin Wuqing was quite dissatisfied: "Go and handle the case quickly. You can consider the method of handling the case yourself. I don't ask you to solve the case, but you must make some gains. If you find anything, report it to the County Ghosts and Gods Department in a timely manner."
"yes!"
Chu Chen and Wang Ping went out to meet each other. They were in a bad mood and did not dare to stay longer. They hurriedly left the squad leader's study.
The two of them had different errands, so naturally they parted ways.
"Brother Chu, if you give me your mission, I will definitely gain something soon. Where can I find such good things? I can find them by squinting my eyes. You, like your master, are serious, so you must have never seen it.
What kind of picture album of beauties, tsk tsk tsk, I’m afraid you can’t even find it in a bookstore.”
Wang Ping looked at Chu Chen with disdain, regretting that he had missed an interesting case, and went into the mountains to look for monsters.
Chu Chen smiled and said nothing more.
Who said he didn't understand? He did.
After bidding farewell to Wang Ping, Chu Chen also walked out of the County Ghosts and Gods Department.
One advantage of being in charge of major demon cases is that you have a lot of freedom, and you don't have to be on duty with ghosts and gods in the county.
"I didn't expect that I would encounter a pig-killing plate when I came to another world. Sure enough, since ancient times, true love cannot be retained. Only routines can win people's hearts. The pig-killing plate will be a sure kill through the ages!"
Walking on the streets of Juncheng, Chu Chen silently muttered to himself.
He was very familiar with this [Pink Skull Case], a complete "pig-killing plate" drama.
In the previous life, the pig-killing plate routine stole money.
But in this life, what matters at the pig-killing plate is human life and health.
The so-called "pink skull" might not be a charming "succubus" at all, but a burly, ferocious-looking, foot-picking monster hiding in a dark place.
All beauty, charm, and ambiguity are just bubbles and phantoms that will burst as soon as you poke them.
Chu Chen didn't have much clue about investigating the case at the moment. The only starting point was to find a brand new "Beauty Picture Book" and try it himself to see if he could get some clues.
As for where to find the "beauty album"?
Chu Chen thought for a while and rushed to Baihe Academy outside the city.
In the small town outside Baihe Academy, there are many bookstores and shops. You can buy any kind of books and albums there.
