From the identities and relationships of the missing persons, to the unusual lack of movement when the case occurred, to the court's unconventional task arrangements, all of this seemed to be carefully planned by an invisible hand.

This unusual incident did not seem like an ordinary case. Instead, it seemed like someone was deliberately planning it behind the scenes and guiding them to do certain things.

Zhang Xuanwei, who was standing aside, saw that everyone looked sad and the atmosphere was dull and depressing, and he couldn't help but yawn out of boredom.

"If we have no clues, why don't we all just go home and sleep? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Why are you two little county magistrates so worried? As expected! Being a powerful official is too tiring!"

Zhang Xuanwei's life was quite comfortable and relaxed. With his profound magic and unique physiognomy, he received the honorary title of mage and, by chance, became colleagues with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

The most comfortable thing is that there are only three people in their department, and there is no strict superior-subordinate relationship between them.

On weekdays, if he wanted to go to work, he would just stroll around and chat with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. If he didn't want to go to work, he could just go home and take a nap.

And he still receives his salary as usual. Such a wonderful life is really enviable.

Speaking of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, their whereabouts are always mysterious and elusive.

They were often seen talking in low voices, or sneaking into the mysterious observatory in the dead of night, observing something.

Zhang Xuanwei didn't like their mysterious style of doing things, and felt that it was too depressing to be with them. Instead, he preferred to hang out with Di Renjie and Wu Meiniang and feel their enthusiasm and vitality.

At this moment, listening to Zhang Xuanwei's gloating words, Wu Meiniang was angry and looked at him with gritted teeth.

"Spirit, you can tell fortunes, right? Can you help us figure out where all these missing people are?"

Wu Meiniang said unhappily.

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Zhang Xuanwei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a hint of a smile. "Okay!"

Wu Meiniang was stunned by his straightforward response. Normally, if she asked him to tell her fortune, he would always find excuses to refuse, either saying that the secrets couldn't be revealed or claiming that doing so would shorten his own lifespan.

But why did he agree so readily today?

Wu Meiniang suddenly became alert, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"You charlatan, do you have any bad intentions?"

When Zhang Xuanwei heard Wu Meiniang's words, he scratched his ears helplessly.

"Sister Wu, although you are very beautiful, please don't slander me! Those trivial matters in daily life are not worth my energy to calculate. But today's case is quite interesting. I can calculate it, but you have to pay!"

Hearing that money was required, Wu Meiniang heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't dare boast about other things, but when it came to money, she was indeed quite well-off.

She waved her hand gently, and Lin Yu beside her immediately understood and quickly took out the purse. Wu Meiniang took the purse and said generously: "How much is it!"

Zhang Xuanwei grinned and gave Wu Meiniang a bright smile.

"Two taels of silver, no cheating!"

Wu Meiniang's originally gentle and peaceful face was instantly distorted when the words "two taels of silver" were heard.

Her two carefully drawn eyebrows suddenly pulled up, forming a deep "川" shape.

His eyes widened, his cheeks puffed up with anger, and he suddenly bounced up from the ground.

"Spirit of God, have you lost your mind? You're asking for two taels of silver just to tell my fortune?"

Her voice was a bit shrill.

"Do you know how many lives these two taels of silver can buy you?"
