Chapter 107: New Discovery!
As Tian Wang spoke, he himself increasingly felt that this matter was done by Liu Jingwei, his face twisted in a scowl.
Yi Tian nodded in agreement and then asked Tian Wang a few more questions. The three of them walked out of the haunted house, one after another.
"Lao Tian, how can you take so long? Others are getting impatient." The young woman said irritably.
"Hehe, baby, I'm doing something serious here, why are you still angry? Can't I make it up to you by taking you to Yansha to buy some makeup later?" Tian Wang wrapped his arms around the young woman's waist, with a flattering expression.
A young woman let out a somewhat joyful hum and said, "Hmph, this is more like it!" She then casually asked, "Did you find anything inside? Can it be solved?"
"This time with Master Yi's help, it will definitely be solved. If he didn't say that this was man-made, I would have thought there were evil spirits inside. When I went in, I was really scared."
"What...what's going on?" The young woman suddenly looked stunned and said somewhat anxiously.
Just as Yi Tian was about to bid farewell to Tian Wang, he saw the young woman's expression and felt that something was not quite right.
When it comes to human affairs, the young woman is a little flustered, scared? Doesn't seem like it, she was just saying that there's a fierce ghost inside and didn't show much fear. Why such a big reaction when talking about human affairs? How can this expression be explained?
With a curious attitude, Yi Tian stepped forward and asked: "Boss Tian, who is this..."
Tian Wang hastily smiled and introduced: "This is my girlfriend Sherry." Turning his head, he said to Sherry: "Quickly greet Master Yi, Master Yi is a strange person beyond your imagination."
Xue Li originally didn't pay much attention to Yi Tian, but seeing Tian Wang's urging expression, she reluctantly nodded and smiled: "Master Yi is good!"
"Haha, Miss Shirley is being polite, what master or not, simply put, it's just a way to make a living." Suddenly, Yi Tian said mysteriously, "Boss Tian, I've already told you the details of the matter. This afternoon when I get back, I'll use my Heavenly Tracking Technique and I'm sure we'll find the culprit immediately!"
As soon as the words fell, Sherry's expression became even more flustered, as if she had a feeling of being out of sorts. Originally, Yi Tian was just casually probing to see Sherry's reaction, and seeing her like this, he suddenly guessed that Sherry might know something. Could it be that this matter is related to this woman?
Tian Wang beside him burst into laughter, "Master Yi, you can find the murderer so quickly? Haha, that's great!"
Just as he was excitedly gesturing, Yi Tian said: "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, I'm not that capable yet. But I'll do my best to help you solve the problem. By the way, remind you that today's magic show shouldn't be spread around randomly. If I find out, I won't be happy."
Tian Wang immediately grasped the meaning of the words and quickly responded: "Don't worry, Master Yi. You only taught me today, and since it's your family magic trick, I swear I won't spread it around no matter what!"
Yitian nodded in satisfaction and secretly thought that Tian Wang was quite reliable. He then bid farewell to the other party.
Just after they left, a young woman curiously asked: "What magic is this, and why so mysterious?"
"It's unspeakable, absolutely unspeakable! It's just magic that you'll never see in your lifetime!" Tian Wang shook his head like a rattle drum, thinking of Yi Tian's incredible methods. He was determined to keep it secret even if he died, fearing that if he betrayed Yi Tian's words, he wouldn't even know how he would die.
On the other side, Meng Meiliang looked at Yi Tian with a very strange expression, as if she had something to say but was too embarrassed to speak.
Yi Tian saw his expression and asked in confusion: "Meng Daozhang, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't keep it in your heart."
"This... then I'll say it, how did you manage that move earlier? Can you teach me? I want to learn too!"
Yi Tian shook his head and smiled, "Meng Dao Chang, it's not that I'm being petty and won't tell you, but this is a family secret technique, and apart from our own family, it can't be passed on to outsiders. Can you understand?" Everything he had learned, let alone pass on, couldn't even be spoken of, as soon as he tried to say something, his brain would ache unbearably.
"Ah...... I see, well, nothing can be done about it then." Meng Meiliang said with some disappointment.
"Meng Dao Chang, sometimes I'm really curious, what's your and Lao Dao Chang's origin? Has Lao Dao Chang taught you some techniques, martial arts or something?" Yi Tian asked.
"I do know some martial arts, and I'm aware of my own abilities. But if I were to fight someone stronger, I wouldn't stand a chance. As for techniques, I don't know any - not even my master knows them. You should have figured it out by now: my master and I are just pretending to be something we're not in order to make a living. However, we've never cheated or harmed anyone; that's our principle. And we don't scam poor people either. Sometimes, my master is kind-hearted and even gives away the little money he has to those in need."
"Actually, Master is also a pitiful person. During the war, when he was very young, all his family members died, and he had no choice but to beg for food to survive. He was often looked down upon and bullied, so he changed to cheating people as a way of life. I'm an orphan, and Master kindly took me in, otherwise I would have frozen or starved to death in the winter. His kindness is something I will never forget in my lifetime." Meng Meiliang spoke with deep emotion, as if all the past events were flashing before his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian also recalled the scene of going out to set up a stall and calculate fortunes with Old Man Xu. For Meng Meiliang, who had similar experiences, he unconsciously developed a desire to help him.
"Meng Daozhang, you and Lao Daozhang can't just take on any business that comes your way from now on. If something big goes wrong, it'll be hard to clean up the mess. Even if you're making a decent amount of money, it's time to stop. You have Pu Tian Ju, selling things there will at least bring in enough for food. Lao Daozhang is getting old, if he runs into trouble or an accident, he won't be able to handle it." Yi Tian reminded him kindly.
Mei nodded in agreement, saying: "You're right. To be honest, after the incident at Hongqi Hospital, Master and I didn't want to do it anymore. But then Guo Baozi came along, and with a lucrative business opportunity in sight, Master and I had second thoughts. When I get back, I'll have a good talk with Master."
Yi Tian nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "Do you want to really learn some skills? I happen to know someone who's quite impressive. If you're interested in learning, I can put you in touch with them."
Meng Meili's eyes lit up instantly and she replied eagerly: "Of course I have, I want to learn some real skills, like your ghost-catching skills!"
"Heh heh, okay, I still need to ask first. If that person agrees, I'll let you know and you can go ask too. Does the old master allow you to find another teacher?" The person Yi Tian thought of was Yun Fei Yang, planning to go ask him. Although Meng Mei Liang was over 30 and his foundation was a bit poor, his character wasn't bad, and he didn't expect Yun Fei Yang to teach him anything too amazing, learning a few moves would be fine too.
"What? Still want to apprentice?"
"Of course, if you don't pay respects as a disciple, how can they teach you?" Yi Tian said in an unpleasant tone.
"Alright, I'll go back and ask."
As they spoke, the two of them left the amusement park and walked to a phone booth. Yitian called Du Song of Shen Feng Men and asked him to arrange for someone from Shen Feng Men in Yanjing to meet with him. Du Song readily took care of this matter.
Just as they were about to meet the people from Shen Feng Gate, Yi Tian let Meng Mei Liang return first.
It only took a few minutes to get a response, and the phone call was from an external affairs personnel of Shenfengmen Yanjing. The two parties agreed to meet at a coffee shop near the amusement park.
Yi Tian arrived at the coffee shop first, which was quite high-end. A cup of coffee cost 38 yuan, almost as expensive as a bag of white flour. He had never had coffee before and was curious about it, wondering how good it tasted to be so pricey.
With such a curious mind, he ordered a cup of coffee and waited for the other person to arrive. Just as he took a sip, his face suddenly changed color and he spat it out, "Damn, this stuff at 38 is too hard to drink!"
He saw rock sugar on the table and quickly grabbed a few pieces and put them in his mouth, crunching away.
The surrounding customers all looked at him strangely, some covering their mouths and giggling, others pointing and whispering, all with the expression of looking at a country bumpkin.
Seeing this, Yi Tian knew he had made a fool of himself. However, for someone who never cared about how others perceived him, these were all unimportant matters.
Just as he was looking around, a beautiful woman walked into the coffee shop. She looked about 26 or 27 years old, dressed very fashionably with curly hair and a stunning figure.
She attracted the attention of many men as soon as she appeared, and when they saw her walking towards Yi Tian, many people showed a look of surprise.
As the woman approached, she smiled and asked: "Are you Mr. Yi Tian?"
"That's right, I'm Yi Tian, what can I call you?"
"Just call me Luyao, Du Song has already told me about your situation. If you have anything in the capital city, you can contact me." As she spoke, she sat down and signaled to the waiter to order a cup of coffee for herself.
"Alright, let's get down to business then. I need you to help me investigate two people!" With that, Yi Tian took out a pen and paper from his bag, wrote down the names "Bai Mao" and "Xue Li", along with his requirements, and handed it over to Lu Yao.
Luyu inquired about the basic situation of the two, and then made a phone call on the spot to verify the information of the two. After receiving the news, she thought for a moment and said: "These two people are not recorded in the Shenfengmen database. Xue Li has already been located, and is an ordinary person, so the price is not expensive. However, Bai Mao is a Jianghu person, and his cost is difficult to estimate."
"As usual, Bai Mao, you need to pay a deposit of 1.5 million. After receiving the information, we will make a reasonable estimate and return any excess money to you. If it's not enough, you'll need to pay the difference separately. If you agree, I can give you a discount and won't charge for Sherry's information. The total is 1.5 million."
Yi Tian said with a smile, "No problem, I trust the reputation of Shen Feng Men, and I also hope to get the information about these two people as soon as possible." He took out a check from his bag and asked, "I have a check for 300,000 yuan, can it be cashed immediately?"
"Hehe, of course, I can just give you a check for 150,000 yuan and that's it."
As they spoke, Luoyao wrote a check for 1.5 million and completed the transaction with Yitian.
In the blink of an eye, 150,000 went into the other party's hands. Yi Tian shook his head and smiled: "Your Shenfengmen is really good at doing business, I really want to get to know your sect leader, if we can become friends, wouldn't that be a great advantage!"
"Hehe, then don't think about it anymore. Even I don't know the core figures within the sect, and no one in the sect has ever seen them." Lu Yao smiled and stretched out her hands.
At this point, Yi Tian was stunned. Haven't the people of the sect seen it? How can there be such a mysterious sect? Thinking about it, if not, it wouldn't be called Shen Feng Men either. It's mysterious and secretive, like a wind that leaves no trace!
Just as the two were talking, Yi Tian's pager rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Bi Xia: I know who the bronze statue on the law enforcement platform is!
