Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1403 636: Blood for Blood_4

Gao Yina rose and said: "Director Chen, before taking action, I hope you can maintain the rationality that a professional should possess.

Moreover, if Director Li Qi cannot fulfill the responsibilities of the head of the Dark Star Bureau, we will send someone to replace Director Shen's position, please prepare for the work handover."

Gao Yina left.

Chen Changrui sat silently in the office for a long time, then picked up the phone and called Li Qi.

...

Liao Zihui stood at the office window, watching the sunset in Puluo State and then looked at the record in his hand.

This is a new piece by Jiang Mengting, Liao Zihui wanted to send a copy to Shen Jingye, but before he had a chance to send it, he received news from the Dark Star Bureau.

Over the years, he and Shen Jingye had numerous conflicts.

Shen Jingye wasn't a good man either, he had done plenty of sneaky things behind the scenes.

But he's just gone...

"Your revenge probably can't be fulfilled, there are too many things to consider Outside Provinces," Liao Zihui murmured to himself, "if this were in Puluo State, such a bastard wouldn't live past..."

Halfway through his sentence, Liao Zihui choked a bit.

His secretary Ling Sujun knocked and said: "Someone named Jia Heqing wants to see you."

"Jia Heqing? I haven't heard..." Liao Zihui paused for a moment, nodded, and said, "Let him in."

Ling Sujun didn't know Jia Heqing either, but since Liao Zihui nodded, Ling Sujun invited him in.

The man appeared to be in his mid-forties, wearing a wool coat, a round top hat, sporting a handlebar mustache, his attire was quite exquisite, he seemed of significant status.

After some pleasantries, both parties sat down, Liao Zihui asked directly: "Young Master He, you are quite bold, do you know you're a wanted criminal? Yet you dare come to the Defense Agency?"

Jia Heqing, also known as He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing explained: "Chief Envoy Liao, if it weren't for something urgent, you could give me a hundred guts and I wouldn't dare step through your door."

Liao Zihui chuckled: "You came for your family's business, right? That's not something you should find me for!"

He Jiaqing nodded and said: "I know, this is about Li Qi."

Liao Zihui advised: "It's best not to go to Li Qi now, he's close to losing it, if something you say sets him off, your business won't survive."

He Jiaqing came prepared: "I know a little about matters Outside Provinces too, I'm just worried I'll say something inappropriate, which is why I came to ask you to communicate for me, I can help Li Qi, I know where Du Wenming is."

Liao Zihui was startled: "This isn't something to joke about."

"This isn't a joke, if you don't believe me, I can tell you Du Wenming's whereabouts right now, in return, I just ask that you spare my business."

Liao Zihui said: "I need to discuss this with Li Qi, but as I said earlier, Li Qi is close to losing it, this isn't a joke, even I'm hesitant to contact him easily.

You say you know Du Wenming's whereabouts, there must be a backstory, right? If Li Qi asks, I need to have a clear explanation."

He Jiaqing straightforwardly revealed: "Du Wenming has a mark on him, left by a master, he couldn't remove it himself so he came to me for help.

Since Du Wenming is ruthless, it wasn't easy to offend him at the time, so I helped remove his mark, but in case of future precaution, I placed a mark on him, so I do know where he is,

but I didn't expect Du Wenming to bury the removed mark on Li Qi's territory, which led to a misunderstanding between us, I want to use this opportunity to clear the air, please help bridge the gap!"

Liao Zihui nodded slightly: "Alright, I believe you, I'll contact Li Qi right away."

...

In the morgue, the staff were all asleep, Li Qi used a music box to make them sleep.

"Butterflies fly away, the heart is absent, who comes in the lonely long night to wipe tears from the cheeks,

it's greed for a little dependency, greed for a bit of love, past bonds can't be settled, changed to a heart full of sorrow..."

He sat alone next to Shen Jingye's corpse, holding a phonograph, playing "Wild Grass Idly Blooms in Spring" over and over again.

Li Banfeng tried the Foolish Cultivation Technique, but failed.

The Spiritualists sensed it, and according to their conjecture, by the time the corpse was discovered, Shen Jingye's soul had already departed.

The needle reached the end, the song was finished.

Li Banfeng put down the phonograph and returned to the Portable Residence.

He took off his jacket and sweater.

He put on a white shirt and tied a black tie.

He dressed in a black suit, fitted waist and broad shoulders, a style unique to Puluo State.

He took a top hat from the wardrobe and placed it on his head.

Exiting the Portable Residence, he glanced at Shen Jingye.

"Little Shen, come to my office later."

After speaking, he lowered the brim of his hat.

...

Chen Changrui went to the Carrier Department, requesting a few dark energy carriers.

The department head asked about the purpose, Chen Changrui laughed: "I'll take them back for some research, I'll complete the procedures tomorrow."

Returning to the office, Chen Changrui lit a cigarette.

The core organization behind the Hundred Demons Workshop has been exposed, but no one paid any attention.

He previously contacted Gao Yina, who didn't support his investigation.

He then reached out to Li Qi, but couldn't reach him.

He texted Li Qi, informing him about the Haiyan Literature Society case, but Li Qi didn't reply.

Who else can he find?

If you all don't care, I'll manage it myself.

This matter needs to have a resolution, no matter what.

Chen Changrui drove to Yue Ming Garden in Yuerong District.

Yue Ming Garden is a private estate, and gaining entry beyond the garden gates was the first challenge.

Two kilometers before the garden gates, Chen Changrui parked on the roadside, throwing on a black down jacket.
