Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Su Beichen had arranged for someone to investigate Xiong Bufan's identity and background. She had suddenly appeared in the slums of the west of the city and had been living there ever since. Recently, she had partnered with someone to open a rouge shop and worked there every day.

However, the poorest area in the west of the city was a mixed bag, making it difficult to trace her origins. But according to clues provided by the locals, before starting work, all she did every day was eat and watch the excitement.

The local thugs in the west of the city avoided talking about her, and even ran away at the mere mention of her name, as if they had seen some kind of ferocious beast, more terrifying than the government officials. Some of the bolder thugs even went so far as to report Xiong Bufan's misdeeds to Su Beichen, hoping that the government officials would arrest Xiong Bufan.

Xiong Bufan's presence in the west of the city has greatly improved the security situation there, with theft and fighting becoming rare.

Su Beichen was torn between whether or not to ask Xiong Bufan for help in the case. He picked up Xiong Bufan's profile and put it down again. His super strong combat ability would make the case much more efficient. At least he wouldn't be caught off guard when he encountered a suspect with high combat ability. However, Xiong Bufan's actions were entirely based on his mood and likes and dislikes. Apart from not killing people, he had no method to his actions. It was unknown whether he would follow orders.

The advisor had always disapproved of Xiong Bufan coming to the Dali Temple to assist in the case. He thought, "What can a woman accomplish? She's all talk and no action." Looking at Su Beichen, he said, "Sir, this woman is eccentric and I'm afraid she can't assist in the case."

Moreover, the New Year is just around the corner, and the capital cannot afford any more mishaps.

Su Beichen handed a file on the table to the clerk. "What do you think of this case? The suspects are highly skilled in combat, and there's more than one of them."

This is a new case taken over by the Dali Temple. Recently, there have been frequent assassinations of ministers in the capital. A minor official was wiped out overnight, and the people of the capital are in a state of panic. Several ministers are afraid to go out to court. Although the New Year is approaching, this incident has cast a gray veil over the capital.

The clerk opened the case file and said, "Our Dali Temple is full of talented people. There's no need to find an unstable person to assist in the case. We can find some people from the underworld."

Su Beichen walked over and retrieved the case file. "Master, put aside your personal prejudices. Miss Xiong's martial arts skills are very high, which will be very useful to our investigation. We don't have much time left, so I will recommend her to His Majesty."

"Ok."

The advisor knew there was no way to stop it, so he could only reluctantly agree. Getting in was easy, but staying was difficult. With a superior who couldn't think straight, this matter was going to be very complicated.

Su Beichen acted quickly. The next day, after consulting with the emperor, I led my men straight to Xiong Bufan's residence. Since Xiong Bufan was not home, we went directly to the rouge shop.

Officials rarely came to the rouge shop, so Qiao Yujie quickly came out of the shop and put on a respectful attitude, "Gentlemen, what brings you here? Our shop is run with integrity and has never done anything illegal or disorderly."

Su Beichen saw Xiong Bufan sitting in the shop and said, "Shopkeeper, we are from the Dali Temple. We are looking for Miss Xiong Bufan to assist us in handling a case."

Xiong Bufan spends his days at the shop, occasionally visiting Zhang Mingming to assist in teaching the students. It's impossible for him to go out and commit crimes. Qiao Yujie said, "Sir, have you misunderstood? Bufan hasn't caused any trouble."

"Manager Qiao has misunderstood. I've come to hire Miss Xiong to assist the Dali Temple in handling cases."

Qiao Yujie breathed a sigh of relief. "Please wait a moment, Lord Su. I'll go and call Bufan out."

Su Beichen looked at Xiong Bufan, bowed slightly, and said, "Miss Xiong, it's been a long time."

Xiong Bufan asked Kongkong, "Did he come to ask me for the extra ten taels of silver? I won't return it to her."

"No, they've run into trouble and need your help."

"Alright." Xiong Bufan unconsciously straightened his back and said to Su Beichen, "Is your injury any better, sir? What brings you here today?"

Su Beichen: "Thank you for your concern. This time, I'm asking Miss Xiong for help with the case. Your salary is the same as that of a public official."

Upon hearing the word "salary," Xiong Bufan quickly nodded in agreement. "Let's go now. We can come back for dinner after we're done."

Qiao Yujie pulled Xiong Bufan aside and asked Su Beichen, "Will there be any danger in assisting with the case?"

Su Beichen said with a smile, "Don't worry, Manager Qiao, no one can hurt Miss Xiong."

Xiong Bufan gave Qiao Yujie a reassuring look and left with Su Beichen. "Tell me, what's going on here?"

"Miss Xiong, you should go back and look at the case file. There are more clues in it, and it can't be explained in a few words."

Xiong Bufan: "I can't read."

Although he had been studying in the previous world, who would have thought that the writing system in this world was traditional Chinese? Xiong Bufan still didn't recognize a single character. Couldn't the writing systems in these worlds be unified? Xiong Bufan had to learn a new writing system in each world, and after learning so many, he was almost getting them mixed up.

Su Beichen: "I'll read the case file to you when we get back. It's not good to discuss it on the street."

"Okay, remember to hurry up, I need to get back for dinner early."

Su Beichen's two subordinates, Wang Qiang and Shi Yu, had worked together to capture notorious bandits. Having witnessed Xiong Bufan's abilities, they considered him a reclusive master, and believed that his eccentric temperament was to be expected. They held Xiong Bufan in high esteem.

Upon arriving at the Dali Temple, Su Beichen went to retrieve the case files. The clerk, forgetting his lesson, snorted coldly at Xiong Bufan. Before Wang Qiang and Shi Yu could speak, Xiong Bufan picked up the clerk and threw him out.

The advisor fell face-first to the ground, bleeding profusely from his mouth. He could barely utter any threats and scrambled away.

Wang Qiang and Shi Yu exchanged a glance. The clerk was eloquent but petty. They should follow him to prevent him from making false accusations everywhere.

Xiong Bufan paced back and forth in the room, bored. In his previous life, the incident of the minor official being wiped out had not happened. The minor official was only demoted to a remote area as a minor official in the later stages of the conquest of the concubine. He encountered bandits along the way and died on his way to take up his post, dragging his family with him. The minor official's time of death was brought forward. This was probably a chain reaction caused by Xiong Bufan's transmigration. The events of his previous life could no longer be used as a reference. Many things had changed.

Su Beichen took the case file, leaving Xiong Bufan alone in the room. There was a portrait of Xiong Bufan on the table, and Xiong Bufan picked up a pen and occasionally added a few strokes. Su Beichen did not hide the fact that he had investigated Xiong Bufan. Both sides had to reveal their cards to cooperate better.

Xiong Bufan put down his pen. "You can read the case file now. Remember to get straight to the point."

Su Beichen began reading from the case file. Xiong Bufan listened for a long time but couldn't make heads or tails of it. He didn't know anything about autopsies or interrogations, so it was difficult for him to glean any useful information from the case file.

Xiong Bufan interrupted Su Beichen: "Take me to the crime scene first, we can look at the case file when we get back."

Su Beichen: "Alright, come with me."

The family of the minor official who was murdered was not far from the Dali Temple; it would only take the time it takes to burn an incense stick to get there on horseback. Xiong Bufan carried Su Beichen to the scene in just a few minutes. There were two large seals on the door, covering the bloodstains that could not be washed away. Su Beichen explained, "After the incident, we sealed the door to prevent bystanders from disturbing the scene."

"Put me down, and I'll remove the seal."

Xiong Bufan carried Su Beichen over the wall and jumped inside. The body had been cleaned up, and white lines were drawn everywhere.

Su Beichen has brought his men to the site many times. He knows the site inside and out, and he can even remember every plant and tree. There are really no clues to be found in this house.

Xiong Bufan entered the room. The smell of blood had dissipated, but there was a strong sense of gloom. Xiong Bufan leaned close to the bloodstains and sniffed. There was a smell here that was very similar to the Gu worms from before.

Su Beichen observed the marks left by swords and knives on the pillar, trying to find any new clues.

Xiong Bufan: "Take me to see their bodies."

"it is good."

To save time, Xiong Bufan picked up Su Beichen and ran. She already had a clue in mind; as long as the smell was strong enough, Xiong Bufan could find the murderer by smell.

After learning that Xiong Bufan had been taken away by the Dali Temple, 002 was extremely anxious. Anyone who had served as a secret guard had a case on their hands, not to mention that he and Xiong Bufan had murdered their master and killed the emperor's most beloved son.

When Cui Zuoqian was alive, he avoided having his subordinates deal with the Dali Temple, because the Dali Temple was a royalist party that did not care about anyone's feelings. Any subordinates who were captured by the Dali Temple were killed without exception, and they were never allowed to implicate anyone.
