Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

Jiangchuan, Luohan Bridge.

Jiang Chaosheng stopped at the entrance of the detective agency and looked up at the plaque.

White Cat Detective Agency.

It is here.

Jiang Chaosheng stepped inside.

This is a small two-story building, simply furnished and clean.

There was no one inside.

Jiang Chaosheng walked towards his desk.

The desk is located at the corner of the stairs.

On the wall at the corner of the stairs, there were many newspapers that had been cut up.

Most newspapers were in English.

Jiang Chaosheng's English was not very good, but he could still understand the contents.

Justice may be delayed, but it will never be denied!

[The mysterious detective "White Cat" steps in and brings the elusive "Penguin" to justice!]

[The legendary detective "White Cat" strikes again, finally bringing the serial killer to justice!]

The greatest detective of this century, White Cat...

It's clear that Peng Guanhai used that "Looking-Homeward Mirror" to solve many major cases abroad.

Just then, footsteps sounded.

A gentle voice reached Jiang Chaosheng's ears:

Who are you looking for?

Jiang Chaosheng turned around and glanced back.

She is a mixed-race beauty wearing a blue shirt and jeans.

She was holding a wooden box in her hands, which contained many documents and books.

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"Is Peng Guanhai here?"

The mixed-race beauty carried the wooden box, quickly walked downstairs, placed it beside the sofa, turned to look at Jiang Chaosheng, and tossed her hair:

Grandpa is in the hospital.

Jiang Chaosheng asked:

"What's wrong with him?"

The mixed-race beauty's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly concealed it.

"Just tell me what's wrong, please sit down first."

The mixed-race beauty walked up to Jiang Chaosheng and led him to the sofa, asking as she went:

"Are you here to buy this house? Who recommended you?"

Jiang Chaosheng sat down on the sofa and accepted the bottled water handed to him by the mixed-race beauty:

"I'm not buying the small house."

The mixed-race beauty was stunned:

"Brother, aren't you here to buy the small house?"

The mixed-race beauty looked at Jiang Chaosheng with a hint of surprise in her eyes again.

If they're not buying a small house, then they've come to ask a detective for help?

Is it about catching someone in the act of adultery or finding someone to help?

But none of that matters anymore, the White Cat Detective Agency is closing down in the next couple of days.

The mixed-race beauty said with a hint of apology:

"I'm sorry, we're not open right now. You may have made a wasted trip."

Jiang Chaosheng put the bottled water aside and said:

"I know him from before, and I need to talk to him about something else."

The mixed-race beauty blinked her eyes.

An old acquaintance?

This gentleman looked to be in his early twenties.

How could it be an old acquaintance of Grandpa?

The mixed-race beauty carefully observed Jiang Chaosheng.

The black shirt and trousers he wore looked expensive, probably high-end custom-made.

He was wearing a watch on his wrist, which appeared to be an antique.

He also possessed an indescribable air of nobility.

The mixed-race beauty learned a lot from her grandfather and is also a genuine detective.

Generally speaking, you can tell what someone does or what their social status is just by looking at them.

The person in front of me doesn't seem to be an official, nor does he seem to be a typical wealthy person; he's very mysterious.

The mixed-race beauty became more wary of Jiang Chaosheng:

Grandpa is not in good condition.

Even if you find him, you will be disappointed.

He is no longer in a position to receive guests.

The mixed-race beauty suspects Jiang Chaosheng's identity.

Could they be Grandpa's enemies?

My grandfather offended a lot of people in the United States back then.

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"I won't bother him too much; I just want to borrow one of his mirrors for a bit."

"Mirror?"

The mixed-race beauty's eyes lit up:

"I know, Grandpa told me about you."

Jiang Chaosheng raised an eyebrow in surprise:

"You know me?"

I highly recommend "Zero Antique Shop: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts"! Go straight to the exciting part.

The mixed-race beauty moved a chair over and sat down in front of Jiang Chaosheng:

"Grandpa had a very beautiful antique mirror, and he treasured it very much."

He said he got it from a friend, etc.

The mixed-race beauty spoke, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, then paused before continuing:

"After a while, the owner of that mirror will come and take it away."

He told me to wait in Jiangchuan, to wait for the owner of the mirror to come.

The mixed-race beauty looked up at Jiang Chaosheng, her expression somewhat relaxed:

"You must be a descendant of the 'friend' that Grandpa mentioned, right?"

It's great that you're here.

"I don't need to wait for you in Jiangchuan anymore. After I sell this little building, I can go to the United States."

The mixed-race beauty thought that her grandfather's "friend" must be very old and it was impossible for him to come to Jiangchuan in person to take the mirror away.

Jiang Chaosheng didn't look much older than me; he was probably the grandson of my grandfather's friend or something like that.

He didn't look like an official, nor was he an ordinary wealthy man; he must be a scion of a prominent family.

That antique mirror is priceless; whoever owns it must be from a very wealthy family.

That matches up perfectly.

The mixed-race beauty, being cautious, thought for a moment and asked:

"Grandpa's friend has a title, do you know what it is, brother?"

Jiang Chaosheng naturally knew what the mixed-race beauty was talking about, and said:

"Manager".

The mixed-race beauty was now completely relieved and stood up, saying:

As she turned the corner of the stairs by the roadside, the mixed-race beauty looked at the newspaper pasted on the wall with a hint of admiration in her eyes:

"Our family used to live in the United States. My grandfather was a very famous detective in the United States."

The police, underground forces, celebrities, and tycoons have all asked my grandfather for help.

Grandpa is very capable; he can solve any case quickly.

Grandpa was especially good at finding people; he once said that there was no one in the world he couldn't find.

The mixed-race beauty turned and glanced at Jiang Chaosheng, smiling as she said:

He said that the mirror was his lucky charm, and with it, he would be invincible.

Grandpa really loved that mirror; he would secretly take it out to look at it every day in his studio.

Jiang Chaosheng listened and nodded politely.

Peng Guanhai is certainly good at finding people.

The Mirror of Longing can find any living being in the human world, and it is even more powerful than the Queen's Magic Mirror in finding people.

Jiang Chaosheng followed the mixed-race beauty upstairs and asked:

"You used to live in Meiqi?"

Why did you choose to settle in Jiangchuan?

The mixed-race beauty pushed open the door to the second floor, glanced back at Jiang Chaosheng, and sighed:

"Because something sad happened."

Jiang Chaosheng followed the mixed-race beauty up to the second floor.

The second floor has a three-bedroom, one-living room layout. It was very clean, but very empty.

This mixed-race beauty said that the building is for sale.

Jiang Chaosheng could sense that the Mirror of Longing for Home was in the room to the east.

That should be Peng Guanhai's studio.

The mixed-race beauty took out her keys from her pocket, opened the studio door, and said apologetically:

"It's a bit messy."

Jiang Chaosheng saw the scene inside and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The detective's studio is not quite what I imagined.

In fact... it can be said that they are quite different.

Various talismans, garlic, crosses, peach wood swords, and other items for warding off evil spirits were hung around the room.

Of course, these things are all ordinary objects, without any supernatural power whatsoever.

Peng Guanhai seemed to be hiding from some kind of ghost or monster.

The mixed-race beauty walked into the room, squatted down in front of the safe, and said as she turned the combination switch:

Grandpa doesn't know where he hid the mirror.

I asked him about it a while ago, but he was no longer able to answer questions.

I need to look for it.

Jiang Chaosheng's gaze was drawn to the wall.

He moved closer to the wall.

There is a calligraphy piece above, written by Peng Guanhai.

"There is no difference between a magician and a detective."

Magicians use magic to seek the truth; detectives use logic.

This calligraphy is written very neatly and precisely.

However, the writing on the wall below this calligraphy is quite messy.

"They're here! They're chasing us!"
