My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 54: The King of Ideas

a bolt from the blue.

Although Li Bailong's face remained expressionless, his heart was already in turmoil.

Chief detectives? Want to see your operational process report?
damn it!
brute!

Didn’t you say before that the reason you came to investigate Long Aotian was because you saw a brainless novel when you were bored, and thought the author had problems with his thinking, so you came to check out his background?
Do the chief detectives of the Six Gates have to intervene in this kind of childish nonsense?!

Li Bailong was furious and almost flew into a rage.

He has been playing tricks on the cops these days, and has been making a big move in Lin County, taking the opportunity to eliminate pirated copies, promote the fourth volume to the market, and collect wishes, which can be said to be killing several birds with one stone. As for Mu Qingge's so-called investigation, all she needs to do is to manipulate her, pretend, and finally make the investigation report colorful, and let a few local celebrities help her brag, and this matter can be fooled.

After all, he is just a small detective who came here to investigate a small author!

But now! This beast actually said that this matter had caught the attention of the Six Gates Chief Constables?

——They are the smartest and most perceptive police officers in this country! They have solved countless major cases in their lifetime. They are a group of old cops with the instincts and mentality of wild animals!
If these detectives just take a quick look at the mission reports of the cops, they will definitely find that in this incident, there was a guy who was overactive, jumping around, and doing a lot of strange things...

Then the chances of social disarray after the box is opened will be greatly increased!

And the most ridiculous thing is that the regulation that "public servants must write detailed and well-organized reports when performing official duties" was caused by Li Bailong's own essay!
For this reason, the old cops who were also suffering from official documents would definitely buff their skills such as "grasping shadows" and "making far-fetched claims" when they found the name "Li Bailong"...

Li Bailong was furious, but he still asked calmly.

Mu Qingge felt so guilty that she almost burst into tears.

"I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I was indeed assigned by my superior to investigate Long Batian. The reason why I didn't tell you before was because it involved the Demon Sect. According to the Six Sects' rules, it must be kept secret. I didn't even tell my aunt..."

Li Bailong's voice rose an octave: "——Demon Sect?"

"Yes." Mu Qingge said in a low voice, "Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you, brother. About a month ago, the Six Sects planned a siege operation against the Demon Sect's giant. By chance, I got involved. After killing the bandit leader, we found a strange book among his belongings!"

"..."

Fafafafafafafa!

I thought my crappy book was just pornographic!
It's even related to terrorism!

Li Bailong tried his best to cover up his painful mask: "...Is it the Legend of Emperor Extreme Battle Heaven?"

"That's right." Junior Sister Mu replied, "The chief constable said that the leader of the Demon Sect carried this book with him, and there must be a serious reason, so he ordered me to investigate secretly to see if the author of the book is an evil person..."

"..."

fart!

never heard of that!

I have only heard that someone's character or even life will be defined by others based on whether they play or don't play a certain game, but I have never heard of the opposite!

How can you believe everything you hear? Who are the readers? How can the author be responsible for that?

However, no matter how Li Bailong protested in his heart, the matter seemed to have been decided long ago.

His heart was filled with alarm bells, and he tried his best to calm down. He asked in a deep voice, "So what is the purpose of Junior Sister's investigation? Do you have to find evidence of Long Batian's collusion with the Demon Sect?"

Mu Qingge heard the hidden meaning and quickly rejected it, "Of course not! I was born into a government family. My father and brother taught me everything. How could I associate with others and bring harm to good people? The chief constable's order is for me to investigate and verify the truth. Investigate whether Long Batian is related to the Demon Sect..."

Oh, investigation.

Investigation is not review. Investigation means not coming to work with preset positions and task indicators.

This means there is still room for maneuver.

Li Bailong breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the investigation, the best result would definitely be "after working day and night and conducting meticulous investigations, the working group headed by Comrade Mu Qingge overcame all difficulties, repeatedly confirmed, and finally concluded that the writer with the pen name Long Batian is an elegant writer who cares about the country, advocates righteousness, and promotes truth, goodness, and beauty. He has no suspicion of colluding with bandits. It is recommended that the court commend him vigorously, invite him to the top three rows of the Writers Association, and give him a wife."

But Mu Qingge had concealed something before, which caused him to lose the initiative and had no time to make careful arrangements, so this perfect ending might not be achieved - you owe me a wife, little bastard!
Although this is a relatively mild investigation, the crisis still exists. The detectives of the Six Gates have sharp eyes and I am afraid they can really see some clues. How should I deal with it...

While he was thinking, the little cop said timidly: "Brother, the chief constables want to see my mission report..."

Then let them see you listening to music in the brothel all day long!
Although he wanted to say so, but at this point, the two of them were almost on the same boat, Li Bailong could only smile: "Junior sister knows what we have been doing these days, just write it down as it is."

Mu Qingge blushed: "But...but I've been here all day..."

"Junior sister is clearly conducting a secret investigation."

Although this little cop concealed the news and almost caused a big mistake, it was better for the old cops from the Six Gates to send her to investigate the imperial book than to send a meticulous man in a wheelchair with amazing intuition.

Although Li Bailong was extremely angry, he had to help her cover up.

After all, these are stupid civil servants who can be easily corrupted by sugar-coated bullets, just like the German machine gunners on Omaha Beach who are experts in outlining the human body and have a hit rate close to zero. The US military is reluctant to kill them!
He said calmly, "I was ordered to assist Junior Sister. I am not a member of the Six Gates, so my plans and actions can also be regarded as Junior Sister's plans and actions. Anyway, we have discussed it."

"How can I be so embarrassed..." "Since she is Third Uncle's biological niece, we are like siblings. There is no need to be so distant."

"But..." Mu Qingge whispered, "I don't know the specific details..."

"..."

Okay, okay, I will also teach you how to write official documents!
Li Bailong gritted his teeth secretly, but just smiled: "This is a small matter, I will plan it for my junior sister."

Mu Qingge spent three hours writing his homework.

The good news is that Li Bailong took the opportunity to insert some private information and planted some traps for the little note, and in the process he considered the countermeasures, and finally guided the little note's report to be brilliant and well-balanced.

"Thank you for your hard work tonight, Senior Brother!"

Mu Qingge put down his pen, rubbed his wrists, and felt relieved.

"It's getting late, Junior Sister, you should go to bed early." Li Bailong stood up, "Also, since the Chief Constable of the Six Gates asked about it, we must take practical action in the next two days..."

The little guy's expression changed: "Brother, have you got any news about Long Batian?"

"It's hard to confirm for now, so we need to check it out tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you, Senior Brother. See you tomorrow!"

After leaving Mu Qingge's room, the smile on Li Bailong's face slowly disappeared.

"I think this bad woman is not simple." Long Aotian said in a serious tone, thinking, "Look, she came to Linxian to investigate the case, but she did nothing. She enjoys herself every day, and you still have to clean up her mess."

“…Is this the time to talk about this?”

Li Bailong returned to his room: "I have to do something, otherwise I will be targeted by the Six Gates!"

"That being said, what are you going to do?"

"First of all, this matter may not be serious. If the old cops really take it seriously, they would not send a rookie like Mu Qingge. But even so, the investigation results must be logically consistent, otherwise they will find something wrong..." Li Bailong analyzed calmly, "So there must be an investigation process and results."

"What's the result?"

"The result is, 'We caught a suspect who looks like Long Batian. He's a powerful guy with a good background. Unfortunately, he resisted arrest and was killed. We can't further confirm his identity.'" Li Bailong has come up with a countermeasure. "In other words, find a scapegoat, put the blame on him, and kill him!"

"After all, we have already published the fourth volume, and the power of willpower is constantly coming in. We still have at least a month to write the fifth volume. During this period of time, 'Long Batian resisted arrest and was shot', and there is absolutely no evidence to prove his mistake..."

"After a month or two, even if the fifth volume is published, even if Mu Qingge and the Six Gates come to their senses and rush to investigate the case, by the time they arrive, the fifth volume will have been sold out and the willpower will have been collected!"

After hearing this, Long Aotian asked, "What about the sixth volume?"

"Volume 6?"

Li Bailong sneered, "By the time I finish writing the sixth volume, I'll have finished the martial arts exam. Now I've already cultivated my internal strength from the fifth rank. Before the martial arts exam, we'll use our willpower to raise our internal strength to the fifth rank. Add to that my martial arts knowledge, and my connections with the Lords, and I'll be guaranteed a top spot."

"According to the laws of Da Qi, a top-ranking military scholar with the fifth rank can be directly selected to serve in the twelve prefectures of the Imperial Academy. My uncle has already made plans for me. I will either go to the Jingwei Academy or the Wuwei Mansion."

"If I go to the Jingwei Academy, the Prime Minister has been waiting for me. Once I come, he will entrust me with important tasks. Damn it, the Jingwei Academy is in charge of the overall development of the government and the opposition, and holds the lifeblood of the world in its hands. Even if the old cops from the Six Gates are brave enough, do they dare to control the hobbies of the members of the financial leadership team of this dynasty?"

"It would be even better if we go to Wuwei Mansion." Li Bailong grinned, "Old Zhang and Seventh Uncle both have connections. If they make achievements, they will be promoted. Wuwei Mansion oversees the affairs of the country's warriors. If they don't investigate the Six Gates, the old cops should be thankful. If they dare to investigate me, they will be rebellious against Tiangang and all of them will have to guard the pond!"

Seeing that he had thought it through, Long Aotian nodded and asked, "Who will be the scapegoat?"

"It is also the justice of heaven, protecting the good and righteous people!"

Li Bailong shook out a piece of official document from his bosom and said proudly, "I remembered the kind words that Captain Ding said that day, so I used the ghost to encourage him to serve the public wholeheartedly, and a branch line emerged from this old Deng!"

It was the task list that was given to Feng Guozhong by Captain Ding and then assigned to him by Feng Guozhong.

He happily unfolded it and said, "This guy from Zhaonan, a stinking foreigner, came to Daqi to retire! He came to a foreign country without any roots, nothing, and only the hard-earned money he plundered from his own people. How can he not be beaten to a pulp?"

"He is also a thief who has committed many evil deeds. There is no harm in killing him. I will pin the blame of being a vulgar author on him and prepare some evidence in advance. Then I will take the opportunity to kill him and leave the Six Gates without any evidence!"

"Vile, vicious." Ao Zi commented sharply, and then asked, "But this guy is not in Lin County, how can you put the blame on him? How can you build a chain of evidence? How can you make the police believe it?"

"This brings us to my second good deed of the day!"

Li Bailong proudly took out the confessions he had obtained from the pirated dealers who were demanding updates today!
He snorted, "These guys have been gritting their teeth and refusing to confess. Today they revealed the location of the pirated printing den. This is a godsend opportunity. Tomorrow I will take these confessions and Mu Qingge to seal it up. We can just find important evidence from one of the dens, pointing directly to this Zhaonan thief!"

Long Aotian checked for him and filled in the gaps: "Evidence? Do I need to leave a letter address? Isn't that too deliberate?"

"Of course it's intentional! So it can't be done so roughly!"

Li Bailong smiled confidently.

"I have a plan, a great idea..."
