I contracted myself

"Zhang Ping!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping looked at the alley beside him, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Old Wang!"

In the alley, Wang Jieming and Qiu Qiang were carrying large luggage. It was obvious that they had just returned from outside the city, and both of them looked tired.

Zhang Ping stepped forward quickly and saw that the two of them looked good, and said happily: "Uncle Qiang, Lao Wang, I was thinking of going to see you in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come back first."

He does have this plan.

Qiu Qiang and Wang Jieming both lived in camps outside the city in order to avoid Tian Changhu.

However, the camp was not 100% safe, so Zhang Ping planned to go to the camp to find the two of them in a few days and take them back to the city.

"We heard from an adventurer uncle. He said the city was safe, so Uncle Qiang and I were thinking about coming back." Wang Jieming said excitedly.

Zhang Ping pulled Wang Jieming and said with a smile: "Don't rush home. Come sit at my house first and have a meal together."

"Wait, Zhang Ping, where is Uncle Liu?" Qiu Qiang whispered at this time.

Zhang Ping looked around, then leaned into Qiu Qiang's ear and revealed a little about the current situation in Pearl City. He said seriously: "Those people know the relationship between Grandpa Liu and me. If Grandpa Liu returns to the city, he will easily be They targeted me and used it to tease me, so Grandpa Liu had to live in seclusion outside the city for a while. "

"Then can I go see Uncle Liu?" Qiu Qiang frowned.

Zhang Ping thought for a while, nodded and said, "In two days, I will take you to see Grandpa Liu."

"Yeah, okay." Qiu Qiang nodded.

In fact, he was a little worried that Zhang Ping was hiding something from him. For example, Liu Tiefeng had actually been... killed.

In short, only after meeting Liu Tiefeng could he feel at ease.

Next, the three of them went to Zhang Ping's new house together.

There is a projection of a clean world, and the entire new house is spotless.

However, Wang Jieming and Qiu Qiang are not people who particularly care about their residence, and they did not find anything special about this house.

After having a meal at Zhang Ping's house, they both said goodbye.

The main reason is that both of them haven't been home for a while, and they are both worried that their home will be robbed.

"That's right, Lao Wang."

Zhang Ping had just sent the two of them off when he suddenly thought that Team Gui was recruiting people, so he trotted out again.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Jieming, who was carrying a large luggage, stopped and turned around when he heard Zhang Ping's call, and waited for Zhang Ping to rush over before asking.

"Do you want to join the investigation team?" Zhang Ping asked.

Wang Jieming nodded and said, "Of course I do, my dad is from the investigation team."

"Which team is your dad on?" Zhang Ping hesitated and asked.

Wang Jieming scratched the back of his head, shook his head and said, "I don't know, my dad never told me."

"Okay, if you want to join the investigation team, you can come to me tomorrow and I will give you the address." Zhang Ping thought for a while and then said.

Although Wang Jieming's strength is far inferior to him now, it does not mean that Wang Jieming's qualifications are not good.

In fact, just give Wang Jieming a chance.

Sooner or later he will become the mainstay of Pearl City.

"Well, see you tomorrow!" Wang Jieming remembered the address and nodded.

Zhang Ping smiled and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

He felt much more relaxed as he watched Wang Jieming leave.

There are not many people he cares about in Pearl City, Qiu Qiang and Wang Jieming are one of them.

Qiu Qiang and him are both teachers, friends and elders, while Wang Jieming is a true friend.

Wang Jieming was really trying his best to invite Bai De and Feng Laixian to the appointment.

If Wang Jieming hadn't invited Bai De and Feng Laixian, Zhang Ping and the others might not have been able to reach Tongtian Peak safely.

Along the way, Feng Laixian was of great help to the team.

Zhang Ping is very aware of Wang Jieming's contribution, so he plans to recruit Wang Jieming into the Gui team first, and then apply for rewards for Wang Jieming. He believes that Situ Shibai will not be stingy with the reward that belongs to Wang Jieming.

"Zhang Ping, there is a case, let's talk about it while walking!"

Not long after Zhang Ping returned home and lay down his body, Liu Sishan came to the door.

"Sister Sisi, didn't you post a recruitment notice? Why did you receive the task?" Zhang Ping sat up from the sofa and asked in surprise.

Not to mention strange, he still got up and followed Liu Sishan out.

Liu Sishan said as he walked: "The main reason is that this case is related to Team Gui itself. Instructor Bai De received the case and was going to investigate, but he happened to meet me, so... the case fell into my hands."

Pearl City does not have many laws and regulations. It is actually a society based on relationships, so in many cases, as long as the connections are strong enough, you can really do whatever you want.

Of course, even people

The pulse is invincible, and he can't do anything too outrageous or outrageous.

Otherwise, Situ Shibai would tell these people what the rules are.

Normally, the patrol team's case would definitely not be the investigation team's turn to point fingers, let alone transfer to the investigation team. The problem is that this case is a bit special.

The deceased's name was Zhou Dahao. He was a weapons merchant and one of the top purchasers of alien beast materials in Pearl City. Many adventurers had business dealings with Zhou Dahao.

But Zhou Dahao also has another identity, that is, the special advisor and weapons sponsor of the Yuangui team.

"How did Zhou Dahao die?" Zhang Ping asked after listening to Liu Sishan's introduction.

Liu Sishan said seriously: "It was almost four days after Zhou Dahao's death. The patrol team received help from Zhou Dahao's wife and later found Zhou Dahao's body in a dark room in Zhou Dahao's home. He was crushed to death by something."

"Let's gather everyone and go to the scene first." Zhang Ping thought about it and said helplessly.

He was not good at investigating the case. Just listening to Liu Sishan's words, he had no clue in his mind. He could only go to the crime scene first.

On the way, Zhang Ping thought about the issue of weapon sponsors, so he asked: "Sister Sisi, do we still need weapon sponsors now?"

"In fact, Zhou Dahao should have a closer relationship with the original Gui team. Don't forget what the original Gui team was like. That's why I took over this case. The purpose is to see if I can follow the clues and find clues about the beast-controlling Zhu family." Liu Sishan said lightly.

Zhang Ping suddenly realized: "So that's it. I thought it was really a consultant and a weapon sponsor."

"These two identities should be true. We also need to find suitable consultants and "sponsors" who can recycle alien beast materials at high prices. After all, if you sell special materials to stores, it is actually equivalent to being exploited for most of the profits." Liu Sishan explained.

Adventurers often have more familiar stores.

Selling special materials in those shops can get a relatively high price.

When the investigation team goes out to investigate, they can often hunt mutant beasts, so they naturally need a partner.

Zhou Dahao was the partner of the original Gui team, but because the original Gui team was from the beastmaster Zhu family, Zhou Dahao's identity became very suspicious.

Therefore, he died inexplicably in the secret room, and Liu Sishan decided to investigate the cause of his death.
