74: Possessed by a water ghost? Shadow Blade Spirit Material Theft Case (five chapters and 270,000 words!)Chapter 74: Possessed by a Water Ghost? Shadow Blade - Spiritual Material Theft Case (27,000 words in 5 chapters!)

Wang Haobin’s girlfriend was named Sun Yao.

Half an hour later, Sun Yao walked into the store with four other girls.

Compared to the luxurious decor of Overlord Seafood Buffet Restaurant, their clothes seemed quite ordinary.

When they entered, there was a sense of Liu Grandma entering the Grand View Garden.

After they came in, they deliberately lowered their voices, looked around, and were cautious, as if afraid of entering the wrong store.

Wang Haobin excitedly waved his hand.

“Here! Over here!”

The girls also quickly walked to the table. Knowing that a rich person was present, they spoke a little awkwardly and were very reserved.

They simply greeted each other.

Bai Yu looked at one of the girls who was not tall and had a slightly plump face.

This girl looked expressionless, indeed appearing to have mental issues.

Bai Yu glanced at the message Zhao Bin sent, then calmly said, “I’ve already called a capable private doctor over. He should be arriving very soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked into the doorway of the store, dressed in a custom light-colored suit, wearing a pair of classic yet stylish gold-rimmed glasses, and carrying a leather medical bag on his chest.

Zhao Bin calmly scanned the room, and upon seeing everyone, he walked over.

“Mr. Bai, hello, I am the private doctor you called, Zhao Bin. This is my business card.”

Saying this, he handed over his business card, his demeanor gentle and refined, looking quite distinguished.

This scene left Bai Yu a bit flustered.

‘Wasn’t it a tech geek plus medical student buff? What’s the meaning of dressing so handsomely? Trying to steal my thunder, are we?’

Bai Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Since you’re here, let’s start with the diagnosis. Afterwards, you can sit down and eat with us.”

“Alright.”

Zhao Bin, looking very serious, took Wang Mengmeng’s pulse and examined her eyes and throat.

The strange scene of a medical examination in a restaurant naturally attracted the attention of nearby diners.

However, there weren’t many people in this high-end restaurant, and everyone was seated quite far apart, not close to each other.

Others couldn’t clearly hear the conversation from Bai Yu’s side; they were just curious to see Zhao Bin’s white coat.

The waitstaff were also very tolerant; as long as it wasn’t extremely low-quality behavior, they wouldn’t intervene.

After about 5 minutes, Zhao Bin recorded some things on a piece of paper.

Bai Yu glanced at it and could only say: ‘I don’t understand, completely don’t understand!’

‘As expected of a doctor, his calligraphy is fluent.’

‘Scribbles!’

After the diagnosis, Zhao Bin directly said, “This is a recent special type of neurogenic meningitis. Normally, it’s due to excessive stress, not paying attention to rest and diet, leading to an imbalance of secreted substances in the body, decreased immunity, and subsequent infection.”

After listening, everyone felt: ‘Too much pressure, yes!’

‘Not paying attention to rest, yes!’

‘Dietary problems, absolutely right, bro!’

‘This doctor seems pretty awesome!’

Bai Yu: ‘Pfft~! Which college student doesn’t say they’re stressed? Who pays attention to their rest? With this Physique, it’s clear there are dietary problems too! Then I could also be a miracle doctor, right?’

Zhao Bin habitually pushed up his glasses and said, “Currently, there isn’t a very good diagnostic method.”

“However, I have encountered a few similar cases in the past few days and found that a certain calming incense has a miraculous effect. This is a new traditional Chinese medicine incense developed by a top-tier old Chinese medicine practitioner, containing specific phytochemical components. Studies have shown that its aroma has the effect of reducing anxiety and stabilizing emotions.”

“Moreover, the aroma of the calming incense can also increase serotonin and dopamine levels, thereby alleviating depression.”

“It also possesses the basic aromatherapy of incense-based medicine; the aroma of the calming incense can stimulate nerves, affect the limbic System of the brain, and help relax the body and mind.”

“It’s just that the ingredients are quite expensive; one stick costs twenty thousand federal currency, but the effect is very good.”

“If your Physique is good, one stick can cure it.”

The price of twenty thousand stunned everyone present.

‘This is too expensive, isn’t it?’

The reason Zhao Bin said this was because he had worked as a doctor for a period and found that if you diagnose some patients too easily and casually, they will instead question your professionalism.

However, if the medicine you mention is very expensive, and you also show a bit of skill, this group of people might think it’s a life-saving medicine!

This is psychological medicine.

Cheap medicine, though it can cure the illness, people just don’t dare to take it.

Expensive medicine might not be effective, but it’s seen as a miraculous cure!

Bai Yu, with a wave of his hand, said, “Just use it. I’ll pay.”

Honestly, to knowledgeable customers nearby, weren’t these two really partners in fraud?

But none of them had the idea of coming over to expose them; they had to wait and see, right?

And Sun Yao and the group of students, in front of the elegantly poised Zhao Bin, truly had no thoughts of objection.

Zhao Bin took out a stick of incense from his extremely professional-looking medical bag, ground it into powder, looking like a very high-end down payment.

Then he lit it, and a rich aroma filled the air. Everyone who smelled it indeed felt incredibly refreshed and relaxed, with mental fatigue swept away. It was truly worth twenty thousand!

This was a spiritual incense from the Transcendent Domain, so it would be strange if it didn’t feel good.

At the same time, the ghostly Qi within Wang Mengmeng was secretly dissolved by the White Dragon.

The spiritual incense burned quickly, and during the burning process, Bai Yu and his group began to eat.

After about 5 minutes, Wang Mengmeng suddenly woke up with a start, gasping for air.

“Hoo~ hoo~ Save me!”

Her girlfriends beside her quickly said, “Mengmeng, how do you feel?”

“Water! I need water!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll get it for you right away.”

There was a flurry of activity.

And the terror in Wang Mengmeng’s eyes had not completely faded, and her mind was still somewhat abnormal.

This was equivalent to a part of her Soul being missing.

Seeing this, Bai Yu didn’t know how Zhao Bin planned to resolve the situation later, so he just quietly ate his food and chatted with Zhang Youpeng and others.

After Wang Mengmeng drank three cups of water, she grabbed the food on the table and started eating ravenously, her appetite remarkably good!

Sun Yao exclaimed in surprise, “It seems to be really cured? Is the medicine that fast-acting?”

The girl next to her said earnestly, “An incense stick worth twenty thousand must be equivalent to a special effect medicine! The effect of special effect medicine is just that fast.”

Bai Yu wanted to laugh, feeling that the work of anti-fraud was a long and arduous journey.

Wang Mengmeng was also very carefree; she didn’t consider how dangerous she had been these past few days. While chewing, she said, “These past few days, my head hurt so much, and I felt mentally fuzzy, unable to control my body. Now I’m starving! To live is to eat and enjoy more!”

However, looking at the luxurious feast, she asked somewhat confusedly, “By the way, where are we now? Why are there so many good things?”

“Overlord Seafood Buffet.”

Wang Mengmeng’s eyes widened. She had heard of this buffet restaurant.

Feeling the food she swallowed, she couldn’t help but say, “Um, 1888, can I pay on credit?”

These words made everyone’s faces flush.

They truly couldn’t afford it.

Sun Yao whispered from the side, “My boyfriend’s friend is treating. And that friend also invited the doctor who cured you.”

Wang Mengmeng paused, then carefully looked at the people around her.

Upon seeing Bai Yu, the handsome guy, and Zhao Bin, the elegant man, her first reaction was whether her eating manners had been poor just now.

Her face couldn’t help but flush, and she said, “Um… I… I was too hungry.”

Bai Yu smiled and said, “It’s fine. It’s a buffet anyway, just eat as much as you like.”

After speaking, Bai Yu also took a big bite.

The scene unfolding here greatly surprised some of the surrounding customers.

Most of them just watched it for entertainment.

But a middle-aged man of some standing seemed unable to hold back. He suddenly stood up and walked towards Bai Yu and the others, politely asking, “Um, excuse me, I apologize for the interruption. I noticed that the symptoms of that young lady just now are somewhat similar to those I’ve heard about in the recent river-jumping cases.”

“I heard that there’s currently no solution for this illness, and it can only heal naturally.”

“May I ask, is there anything special about the incense Mr. Zhao has? If possible, I’d like to buy a stick.”

This man wasn’t trying to cause trouble; he was probably genuinely curious.

But when Bai Yu heard this, his head ached.

‘What to do? What if they get exposed?’

However, Zhao Bin showed no panic and calmly said, “Have you heard of calming essential oils?”

“I have! The special substances produced by burning can indeed soothe the mind. But I’m still curious how this illness is cured. Could you elaborate?”

Seeing that the other party understood, Zhao Bin began to fabricate an explanation based on his medical knowledge.

If Bai Yu hadn’t known that White Spirit was actually the one who solved it, he would have felt like he was being fooled himself!

‘Meow meow meow! He looks like an honest person, but how can he lie so easily?’

After a lengthy explanation, the man seemed to believe a good deal of it and even took Zhao Bin’s business card.

But after seeing Zhao Bin’s business card, the man’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Zhao Bin again, as if confirming something.

The business card read: [Jiangnan District Special Investigation Bureau Seventh Group - Zhao Bin.]

His reaction clearly showed that he knew about the existence of the transcendent! And although he had seemingly listened to Zhao Bin’s bluffs just now, it was clear he hadn’t taken it to heart in the end.

At this moment, after confirming Zhao Bin’s identity, he understood that Zhao Bin had cured the illness using transcendent means, and his medical skills were merely a disguise.

The middle-aged man, who was from out of town, seemed quite concerned about the river-jumping cases. Now, seeing this scene, he enthusiastically started chatting with Zhao Bin.

He completely assumed that only Zhao Bin was a Transcendent, and Bai Yu was at most a rich second-generation.

Zhao Bin was pulled away, which Bai Yu was happy about, and the pressure on his classmates during the meal also lessened.

Wang Haobin was the most excited! This move really made him look good in front of his girlfriend.

“Hahahaha~ My roommate is very nice, so just relax and eat.”

Feeling Wang Haobin’s hint not to spoil his moment, Bai Yu smiled and decided not to show off anymore.

Occasionally coming out and interacting with old acquaintances is quite interesting; it adds a bit of color to life.

The main focus still has to be transcendent events.

’Coming out this time, I actually got intelligence on the Dragon River Woman, which isn’t bad!’

Around 1 PM.

After everyone finished eating, they left the restaurant and discussed where to go to have fun.

Bai Yu wasn’t too interested in this; for him, going out, having some fun, having a meal, and chatting was pretty much enough.

Those amusement park rides and such were just a waste of time.

Cultivating is much more enjoyable!

Noticing that Bai Yu was about to leave, Zhang Youpeng was a bit reluctant but only asked, ”Brother Yu, the party in two days will be held as scheduled. Are you planning to go?”

Hearing this, Bai Yu immediately thought of Liu Ruoxi’s attack.

His actions during this period should not change Liu Ruoxi’s fate.

So he would naturally be there.

Who was the mysterious person behind it?

He said, ”Most likely, I’ll go.”

Zhang Youpeng was clearly very excited to hear this and said, ”That’s great! Haha ~ If Brother Yu goes, it will definitely be much livelier.”

”You’re exaggerating, ha! I don’t have much reputation at school. But you, kid, should also exercise more recently and get involved sooner.”

”Understood!”

Wang Haobin, who heard the words ’get involved’ nearby, had his eyes light up and said, ”Get involved in what? Can I join?”

Bai Yu also said very directly, ”You are not suitable at the moment.”

”??? Why? At least tell me the standard.”

Bai Yu considered for a moment. The reason he didn’t tell Wang Haobin was because this guy was very fickle, had a three-minute passion, and wasn’t as honest and persevering as Zhang Youpeng.

If he told him, what would Wang Haobin most likely do?

Anxiety! Extreme anxiety!

He would be troubled by transcendent events every day, and ordinary fitness exercises would obviously not be able to counter the transcendent. He would feel useless and unable to persevere.

Later, he might even beg Bai Yu for a shortcut.

Bai Yu’s personality is also quite rigid. He will help friends with suitable personalities.

But for friends who seem not to be working hard enough, he would never directly help! He might even cut off contact later.

This is the difference in personality between people.

Everyone seems to be good friends.

He told Zhang Youpeng because Bai Yu understood that Zhang Youpeng would be very grounded after knowing, and Zhang Youpeng was indeed performing very well now.

Wang Haobin, however, was different.

Of course, this kind of seemingly not-so-good personality, but as long as they don’t delve into their character flaws, it’s still fine for everyone to continue being friends. After all, no one is perfect.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu considered for a moment and said, ”Within one month, for the first 10 days, you will do 100 push-ups, squats, sit-ups, and run 10 kilometers every day.”

”From day 11 to 20, double that, and from day 21 to 30, it will be 300 push-ups, squats, sit-ups, and 30 kilometers.”

Wang Haobin immediately complained, ”Ah? That’s too much... My body will be ruined.”

”Then you can train your body first, and then tell me when to start.”

”Do the things you do also have physical requirements? Can you change it to something more intellectual?”

”Only physical strength is required. If you can’t do it, then forget it, no forcing.”

”Alright...”

Bai Yu couldn’t tell if Wang Haobin had really listened or not from his expression.

However, Sun Yao, who was not far away, was constantly paying attention.

As they walked, a black car stopped on the main road, clearly waiting for Bai Yu.

Bai Yu greeted everyone, ”I’m leaving first.”

Suddenly, the girls spoke up, ”Ah? Leaving so soon?”

”Yeah, we were still discussing whether to go to an amusement park this afternoon.”

”Why don’t we play together for a while?”

”This afternoon, we’re treating, and since you cured Mengmeng, we definitely have to return the favor!”

Bai Yu was currently thinking about the Dragon River Woman’s matter and didn’t plan to stay, so he said, ”See you next time if fate allows. Bye bye.”

”Bye bye ~”

Seeing Bai Yu get into the car, Sun Yao walked over to Wang Haobin and said, ”You can try to challenge it. I’ll supervise you.”

Wang Haobin scratched his head awkwardly and said, ”That’s too difficult. Thirty kilometers every day later. Even immortals couldn’t keep that up.”

”Just try it ~ I’ll give you a reward.”

”Alright, then I’ll train my body first, and then I’ll try the challenge!”

In the black car.

Zhao Bin drove the car and said proudly, ”How is it? My professional knowledge is pretty good, right?”

”It’s quite impressive indeed.”

Zhao Bin’s personality was relatively stable. After receiving some praise, he wasn’t overly smug, just a bit happier.

Then, he changed the subject and said, ”By the way, about the Dragon River Woman, does White Spirit have a way to solve it?”

”I just learned a lot of information from the Ninth Team. I found out that there are currently about fifty affected patients. Some of the seriously ill ones have already started self-harming, and tying them up is not a long-term solution.”

Hearing this, Bai Yu frowned.

It’s already that serious?

There were only twenty or thirty cases during this period, and now there are more than fifty at the same time.

”I’ll ask White Spirit how to solve it.”

White Spirit naturally heard the conversation and immediately said, ”When I was treating that woman just now, I felt that the Dragon River Woman’s power was not very strong. She currently needs sacrifices to restore her strength.”

”According to the Dragon River Woman’s habits, she likes to hide in the river during the day. Generally, at midnight, she will absorb the Yin Qi of the moon.”

”It should be easier to catch her at night.”

Bai Yu naturally repeated this.

Zhao Bin heard it and said, ”Perfect. If we act during the day, the commotion would be too big. So let’s arrange to make a move after 11 PM. There won’t be many people at that time.”

”Alright!”

As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, his phone rang.

”Beep ~”

He thought it was Zhang Youpeng, or a message from another group.

Who knew, it was from the Analysis Group!

”They found out so quickly?”

Bai Yu looked carefully. The guy suspected to be Shadow Blade this morning, his real name was Yang Yifei.

According to the various surveillance footage and phone information currently collected by the Analysis Group.

Finally, after comprehensive big data analysis, some clues were obtained!

Yang Yifei left Tianhai City from the East Gate on the 19th. After leaving Tianhai City, subsequent surveillance information was difficult to track.

After big data analysis, it naturally relied on powerful computing capabilities to find various small clues and piece them together!

According to the analysis, this Yang Yifei is very likely related to the stolen spiritual material case that Bai Yu and others investigated at Qingyuan Mountain Villa on the night of the 20th, which was the morning of the 21st.

This was naturally not a baseless guess, but rather derived from analyzing many surveillance videos in the suburbs.

Bai Yu’s eyes lit up when he saw this.

”I didn’t expect this guy to be related to the Qingyuan Mountain Villa case.”

Zhao Bin heard this and said in surprise, ”The Qingyuan Mountain Villa case has been solved?”

”Yes!”

Seeing this, Zhao Bin also picked up his phone, but after flipping through the messages, he found that he had not received any relevant documents at all.

He was a bit confused and said, ”It seems I haven’t received it here.”

”Oh, maybe they didn’t send it to you.”

”??? Why?”

Zhao Bin looked back at Bai Yu, really wanting to ask: Meow meow meow! Has our Seventh Team changed its leader? Logically, isn’t he an old member? And he’s the team’s analyst. What’s going on now?

Bai Yu looked innocent and asked suspiciously, ”Is something wrong?”

”Nothing, it’s just that if the team leader goes into seclusion for a few more days, our Seventh Team might have a new boss.”

Bai Yu heard that and laughed.

So I’m that awesome now?

”Haha ~ The main thing is that I was playing in the antique street this morning, and White Spirit detected a strange person, so I asked the Analysis Group to investigate this person. That’s why they sent the intelligence to me first, I guess.”

Zhao Bin heard it and laughed, saying, ”It was White Spirit who discovered it again? I can’t believe it now!”

Bai Yu: I can’t help it... It was indeed White Spirit who discovered it! It’s her credit.

He didn’t answer Zhao Bin’s words.

Bai Yu silently took out his phone and sent a message in the group chat: ”The Qingyuan Mountain Villa case has been solved.”

Jiang Chen: ”Does this mean we have to work again?”

Liu Feifei: ”Can you not be so competitive! Wuwuwu ~”

Qin Wanqing: ”Pouting... fox depressed.jpg”

Liu Feifei: ”@Qin Wanqing, so cute, send me the emoji.”

”Okay ~”

Bai Yu, hating that they weren’t living up to their potential, replied: ”You guys are really hard to make anything of!”

”What’s more, regarding the modified person involved in this case, I temporarily don’t think it’s necessary to arrest him immediately. We can monitor him for a period of time to see if we can dig up more information.”

”No objection!” ”I have no objection either.”

Liu Feifei: ”I think it’s most suitable for you to be the captain, haha ~”

”Don’t stir up trouble! Oh, and there’s the Dragon River Woman case. White Spirit said it’s best to find the Dragon River Woman at night. It looks like we’ll have to wait until midnight to make a move!”

Qin Wanqing: ”Yun Bin still needs to Cultivate in seclusion during this time.”

Jiang Chen: ”Then let’s find the Ninth Team, who is in charge of this case, and have a good talk with them.”

Bai Yu: ”Alright! When I return to the Bureau, we’ll go talk to them.”

”Okay!”

”Can’t escape the fate of working overtime, my skin is getting wrinkles.”

”Use BB cream.”

”Hmph! I’ll beat you to death! I’m not old yet!”

Heh ~ Women!
