CHAPTER 325: CHAPTER 325: PUPPET!

Lin Feng shook his head, "No."

"No?" Lin Xiaoyan frowned, "Then what are you doing?"

Lin Feng cleared his throat and said embarrassedly, "I found out that Jiang Rui comes to a tattoo shop here every day."

Lin Feng pointed to a tattoo shop across the street.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced over, and sure enough, there was a tattoo shop, but she saw young people coming in and out, so she withdrew her gaze.

"So what? What are you planning to do?"

Lin Feng: "I’m planning to wait at the entrance of the tattoo shop, and when Jiang Rui comes, I’ll go up and..."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s plan, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi were at a loss for words.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Don’t you think this behavior is a bit... abrupt?"

Lin Feng: "Abrupt? I don’t think so!"

Nan Xi glanced outside, "I feel like as soon as you walk over there, the city management will come and chase you away!"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Yeah, have you seen beggars in Beijing?"

Lin Feng paused and looked around. Um... he forgot, this is Beijing!

Moreover, it’s the city center!!!

There won’t be any beggars here!

Lin Feng looked bewildered, "Then what should I do?"

Lin Xiaoyan: ...

Nan Xi: ...

"Hold out your hand and let me take a look first!" Lin Xiaoyan said helplessly.

What to do? How would she know!

Lin Feng’s ears turned slightly red as he extended his hand, a bit embarrassed as he looked at Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t notice Lin Feng’s expression. She reached out and touched Lin Feng’s hand.

A moment later, she looked up at the tattoo shop across the street, "Let’s go back to the bureau first."

Lin Feng: "? But I’m planning to go to the tattoo shop..."

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan’s determined gaze, Lin Feng suddenly remembered her superpower.

"Alright then, let’s go."

Lin Feng stood up, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Feng turned around, "What’s up?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "The car hasn’t arrived yet."

Lin Feng glanced at the phone in Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, awkwardly sitting back down.

He usually travels by bus or subway...

Oh, sometimes the subway is too expensive, so he generally walks more!

As for taking Didi, he doesn’t even dare think about it!

He only hops on when someone else books a Didi during outings with Senior Brothers or colleagues.

Anyway, calling a Didi? Sorry, he has no money!

Once the three of them returned to the Special Investigation Bureau, Lin Xiaoyan said, "You better not go into that tattoo shop."

Just now, I saw if you went inside, you’d be faced with a..."

Lin Xiaoyan recalled the scene with that creature, neither human nor zombie.

"A puppet?!"

Lin Feng immediately asked upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s description.

Upon hearing these two words, Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes widened, "Looks like it! It probably is!

Because when you attack it, it seems to feel no pain.

And it seems like there’s a tattoo artist controlling it!"

"A puppet master in Beijing!" Lin Feng’s face turned serious.

Lin Xiaoyan immediately thought of Jiang Rui, "Could that Jiang Rui be a puppet too?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "At the moment, it doesn’t seem like it.

He has consciousness, whereas a puppet has none and acts only on orders!"

Lin Feng contemplated, "I need some backup! I definitely can’t handle this task alone!"

With that, he grabbed his phone and started calling for help.

"Hey, Senior Brother Jiang, are you free recently? I’ve got a mission over here, quite serious, in Beijing..."

"Hey, Brother Liang, are you recently..."

"Hey..."

Lin Xiaoyan watched Lin Feng making one call after another, oddly noticing that none of the people contacted were from Xuan Sect.

After finishing his calls, Lin Feng looked a bit distressed—no one was available to come over.

Lin Xiaoyan curiously asked, "Why not contact Xuan Er and the others?"

Lin Feng looked up at Lin Xiaoyan, "Them? The bureau chief has to contact them."

"Their level is too high, and they only take orders from the chief."

Lin Xiaoyan hadn’t expected it to be for this reason. From Lin Feng’s words, she sensed that Xuan Er and the others didn’t seem very approachable.

The Xuan Er he mentioned seemed somewhat different from the one she knew.

Lin Xiaoyan: "If you can’t bring people over, report it to the chief and let him handle it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng realized it made sense!

He smiled at Lin Xiaoyan, "I’ll go find the chief then!"

After speaking, Lin Feng quickly ran toward the chief’s office.

Once Lin Feng left, Lin Xiaoyan glanced at Nan Xi, and Nan Xi turned his gaze toward Lin Xiaoyan.

"He... just left like that?" Nan Xi glanced at Lin Feng’s departing figure and asked.

Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, "This Lin Feng is really different from others."

Nan Xi: "I can tell, a bit silly."

"Hahaha..." Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Ding dong~"

Lin Xiaoyan’s phone rang, so she looked down and saw it was Yang Manqi.

She opened the message from Yang Manqi, who was asking if she was still in Beijing.

Lin Xiaoyan thought for a moment, then replied: "Yes, I’m still in Beijing. Is there anything?"

Yang Manqi became excited upon receiving the reply from her cousin-in-law and quickly called her.

"Hey, Qiqi."

"Cousin-in-law, my friend seems to have some issues. She wants you to come have a look. It’s Jing Mengmeng, the one you met last time!" Yang Manqi said.

Upon hearing the name, Lin Xiaoyan immediately remembered the fragile girl.

"What’s the matter with her?"

Yang Manqi: "She just sent me a message saying that she can’t sleep at all for the past few nights. Whenever she closes her eyes, she feels like someone’s beside her.

And she said that when she sleeps, she feels like someone’s pressing on her..."

Yang Manqi was a bit excited, "Cousin-in-law, do you think Mengmeng’s situation means she’s encountering a ghost?!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan frowned slightly, "I don’t know, but her situation isn’t something I can deal with."

Yang Manqi: "I know, I told her that too, but she insists on having you check it out, and she said she’ll give you twenty thousand if you come."

Lin Xiaoyan laughed, "It’s not about the money, I’m a superpower user, but her situation is more suited for someone from Xuan Sect.

How about this, I introduce someone from Xuan Sect to help her check it out?"

Yang Manqi said eagerly, "Then I’ll ask her!"

"Alright!"

After hanging up the phone, for some reason, Lin Xiaoyan thought of the five people she had met last time.

Since Jiang Rui seems problematic, could the "deaths" of Yang Manqi’s group be related to him?

Gao Ze is currently fine.

Now Jing Mengmeng is in trouble.

It all seems related to Jiang Rui somehow.

Yang Manqi quickly called back.

"Cousin-in-law, Mengmeng says it’s okay, and she also wants to thank you."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Alright, then send me her phone number and location, and I’ll have someone contact her later."

"Okay!" Yang Manqi replied, "Oh... Cousin-in-law, why didn’t you return home with your cousin?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "I have things to take care of here. I’ll return once they’re settled."
