After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Young master, young master, I've been wanting to say this for a while now. This snake looks a lot like the beast-bodied, human-headed statue you took from Director Song's house yesterday!"

As soon as Ye Bai finished speaking, Shen Lu nodded quickly beside him.

She had wanted to speak up before, but she was afraid that her words would influence her son-in-law's judgment, so she held back until now.

At this moment, the wooden snake statue on the table was almost identical to the beast-bodied human-headed statue, except for its head.

Even those eyes were like that.

Although one is a human eye and the other is a snake eye, their lifelike, chilling, and terrifying nature makes them seem as if they were made from the same mold.

"It seems my intuition was correct; the carving techniques used on these two items are the same..."

Ye Bai frowned slightly. It seemed that there was indeed a mysterious organization behind the Black Fish Bagua artifact.

The wooden snake statue in front of us is almost identical in style, except that it is made of a different material and does not have the black fish Bagua diagram on it.

However, it's understandable that these guys are targeting Song Fuling, given her connection with Shang Sanning.

But Tong Yan should have no connection with these people.

Shortly after, Tong Yan returned, having already found the results from the surveillance footage.

Besides her, only the cleaning lady who cleaned the ceiling had entered or left this dormitory.

This means that the wooden snake statue was placed there by this person.

The result was in: Ye Bai's plan was to bring the person over and interrogate them directly.

But Tong Yan disagreed. She had always been a law-abiding citizen and a member of the system, so she naturally couldn't act recklessly in this situation.

In the end, they still chose to call the police.

Ye Bai didn't insist. Although calling the police would be a bit troublesome, it wouldn't make a difference as long as he could get useful information.

Tong Yan was the person involved, and he was just helping out, so naturally he should prioritize the other party's opinion.

"...Comrade Ye Bai, can't we try another one? Isn't it a bit much to always stick to the TV station?"

Upon seeing Ye Bai again, Yu Anqi couldn't help but look up and rub her forehead, utterly speechless.

It's practically a rule that nothing good ever comes from touching this stuff.

Yu Anqi is not superstitious, but she does not reject metaphysics either.

Ye Bai is a jinx, that's for sure.

Yu Anqi had seen Ye Bai three times on TV. The first time was when an assassin tried to kill Qin Wanqing, the second time was when Tong Yan was kidnapped, and today was the third time.

If things continue like this, Yu Anqi is genuinely worried that Ye Bai might ruin Jingzhou TV Station.

Jingzhou TV Station is just a small department, and the station director is about to retire. If this kind of thing happens a few more times, it'll probably be over soon.

However, compared to the direct violence of the previous two incidents, this situation seems somewhat strange.

Statue Murder Case?

Yu Anqi had never encountered anything like this since she started working, and she had never even heard of it while she was in school.

It looks rather mystical.

"Hey Captain Fish, you can't just accuse me like that! Do you think I want to run into something like this? It's just that there are too many criminals!"

Ye Bai pursed his lips and began to protest his innocence.

"...Well, so this is our fault for not doing anything."

Yu Anqi rolled her eyes, but she wasn't in the mood to argue with Ye Bai.

After all, she came here to work, not to catch up with this guy.

The cleaning lady at Jingzhou TV station was clearly not a vicious criminal; she was just an ordinary, working-class person.

Upon seeing the police officers in uniform, I was instantly so frightened that my legs went weak.

Yu Anqi got the whole story from the other party with almost no effort.

This matter actually has little to do with the cleaning lady.

She was not only not the real culprit, but she didn't even know the other party.

She received a mysterious phone call; the caller threatened her with money, citing her habit of stealing towels and mops from the TV station.

Under duress and bribery, the cleaning lady naturally had no choice.

After obtaining the mysterious number from the cleaning lady, Yu Anqi immediately had someone check the identity at the telecommunications company, but the final result left everyone speechless.

Nowadays, mobile phone SIM cards are required to be registered under real names, but it is clear that this requirement is specifically for the benefit of ordinary people.

Criminals are not included.

The owner of this phone number cannot be found in the public security household registration system.

The trail went completely cold at this point.

All we know is that someone is trying to harm Tong Yan, but we still have no clue who that person is.

Yu Anqi spent a long time trying to understand Tong Yan, but unfortunately, the latter was also completely confused.

She's just a television worker, and her social circle is only so big. Even if she offends someone, it's impossible for it to escalate to the point of killing her.

Unless, like the last kidnapping case, it was because Qin Wanqing was involved.

But this time the situation is clearly different. The mastermind behind this is here to kill Tong Yan, not to use her to make trouble for Qin Wanqing.

"Since the murderer used this method, it means they wouldn't dare to act openly. Ms. Tong, please be careful during this time, and call the police immediately if you notice anything amiss..."

Left with no other choice, Yu Anqi could only offer some words of comfort to Tong Yan.

"Thank you for your help today."

Tong Yan nodded, her expression remaining relatively calm.

She's only afraid of ghosts and snakes; she's not so afraid of people.

Now that she has fully realized that her so-called nightmare was man-made, she has naturally regained her composure and rationality.

And regardless of the circumstances, her temporary crisis has been resolved, which is ultimately not a bad thing.

At this thought, Tong Yan felt a surge of gratitude towards Ye Bai once again.

This was the second time the other person had saved her life, and she was increasingly at a loss as to how to repay such a person.

Just as she was about to express her gratitude to Ye Bai, she saw the policewoman captain suddenly pull Ye Bai aside.

"Captain Little Fish, is there anything else?"

Seeing Yu Anqi's mysterious look, Ye Bai asked curiously.

Now that everyone knows each other, there's no need to be as reserved as before when speaking.

The other party always liked to call him "jinx," so he simply called him "Little Fish."

The main point is that you can't be at a disadvantage in words.

"...I think you're quite the flirt, but it's a pity you're not Hua Wuque."

Yu Anqi glared at Ye Bai and snorted irritably, "Be serious, I have something important to tell you!"

"Oh."

Ye Bai nodded, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Do you have any clues about those masters of internal energy?"

Yu Anqi had spoken with him before, wanting his help to deal with the hidden strength master who killed Li Changlin and Hua Zhenghao.

Suspecting it was the work of scoundrels from the Xuanmen sect, Ye Bai agreed without hesitation.

Now that some time has passed, it's reasonable for the police to have made progress.

No matter how well a mouse hides, it will eventually be found by a cat.

"...Your brain works pretty well."

A look of surprise flashed across Yu Anqi's pretty face, then she nodded and said, "I found one..."
