Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

【this……】

Shen Ji's eyes were deep and his face was cold and stern.

The contents of this brocade pouch might be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but even if it were reduced to ashes in his presence, he would recognize it.

Spicy pepper.

A new type of drug circulating in the market, known as "Spicy Pepper" is just a common name; its chemical code is α-fluoromethcathinone piperidine salt.

Unlike cathinone, which is white and light yellow in color, this drug is usually processed by criminals into meal replacement powders of different colors and circulated on the market.

But how did this end up on a stray dog?

Shen Ji raised his eyes and glanced around. Who brought this thing to him? Was it Lu Nian?

But why did he send this thing to him?

Aren't you worried that a young child might accidentally eat it or miss it because he doesn't recognize it?

Shen Ji glanced down at the corgi and asked, "Who told you to bring this over?"

Xiao Ke lowered her head and sobbed.

Shijiu coldly raised her claws.

The little corgi immediately gave a fawning smile, wiggled its heart-shaped bottom, and barked a few times.

Sijiu frowned and said, "[He said it was a man, wearing a hat and mask, so I couldn't see his face, and he was wearing a black windbreaker, but...]"

【But what?】

It said it smelled disinfectant on the man.

Disinfectant?

Shen Ji frowned. This description... why does it look so familiar?

He suddenly remembered that the man who first followed them was dressed just like this.

Still no signal for Lu Nian?

No, not at the moment.

Shen Ji fell silent.

He always felt that all of this was too much of a coincidence.

As soon as Lu Nian's signal disappeared, the man in the down jacket appeared, and he even had a dog bring this thing to one of his children.

What are we supposed to do?

"Good dog." Shen Ji patted the corgi's head. "Where did you meet that man? If you tell me everything, I'll adopt you."

The corgi's eyes lit up. "Woof woof woof! (Really?)"

Shen Ji nodded: "Take me there."

The little corgi immediately jumped up from the ground, grinned, wiggled its tail, and ran forward.

Shen Ji, holding Si Jiu's hand, ran after them.

After walking for about ten minutes, they were led by the corgi to the riverbank of the villa complex.

The little corgi circled around a clump of green plants, as if to tell Shen Ji that this was where he met the man.

Shen Ji and Si Jiu exchanged a glance, then walked over and carefully examined the surroundings, but found nothing unusual.

Just as they were wondering, Shang Yao suddenly pointed to a very lush palm tree nearby and said, "Hey, why is there an Ultraman there?"

"Um?"

Shen Ji was taken aback and subconsciously turned his head to look.

Sure enough, there was an Ultraman with a broken leg perched on the leaves of the short palm tree.

If you're not careful, you might mistake it for a toy that some naughty kid threw away.

Shen Ji frowned and walked over, tiptoeing to take Ultraman down from the tree.

This Ultraman looks very old; it not only has a broken leg, but its head is also cracked.

But the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

He suddenly paused.

Depend on!

Didn't the original owner have an identical little toy in his bag?

And he also lost a leg!

Shen Ji, for some unknown reason, grabbed Ultraman's other leg and snapped it off, leaving Shang Yao stunned.

"Little brother, what...what are you doing?"

"This belongs to someone else; you can't break it!"

Shen Ji didn't have time to pay attention to him at the moment. After he broke Ultraman's leg, he shook his hand and didn't hear a sound.

With another snap, Ultraman's head was broken off.

Shang Yao: "..."

This kid is really a lunatic!

In the blink of an eye, Shen Ji broke off Ultraman's arms, legs, and head, leaving behind a bald body with eight-pack abs.

Shen Ji stood up and squinted one eye to peer inside.

Upon seeing this, his face immediately darkened. He stood up, threw the bald Ultraman body on the ground, and simply stomped on it.

With a crack, the bare body shattered beneath his feet.

Amidst the shattered plastic, Shen Ji bent down and picked up a plastic ball stuck in the middle of his body.

He pursed his lips and shook it, a swaying sensation coming from inside the plastic ball.

There was indeed something inside.

He felt the texture, pinched it with both hands, and twisted it, thus breaking the plastic ball apart.

Inside this plastic ball was an orange-red powder, exactly the same as the stuff in the pouch around the corgi's neck!

This is also a spicy pepper!

Shen Ji's face was so gloomy it seemed like it was about to drip water. He couldn't believe that such a thing would appear in a children's toy.

Moreover, judging from this design, it was definitely not inserted later.

It's inside the toy, in a place designed to hold the plastic ball in place.

In other words, the plastic ball was designed into the toy during the manufacturing process.

These toys were produced and then sold to children...

Shen Ji simply couldn't imagine it.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and said to Sijiu, "These heartless beasts!"

Sijiu didn't say anything.

Shen Ji slowly turned around and called out to Shen Jiyuan behind him, "Dad, call the police!"

Shen Jiyuan subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

How did this kid know that he was following them?

When Xie Wujie called him, he originally intended to bring the person back.

But then he realized that keeping people locked up in the room all the time wasn't a good idea, so he secretly followed them.

But I never expected that Shen Ji had known all along.

Shen Jiyuan strode over, squatted down, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ji handed the item in his hand to him. Shen Jiyuan reached out to take it, but Shen Ji dodged him.

Shen Ji said in a deep voice, "Don't touch it, it will leave fingerprints."

Shen Jiyuan was taken aback.

He looked up at Shen Ji and saw that his face was so cold it looked like he wanted to kill someone. He paused for a moment.

This was the first time he had ever seen Shen Ji like this.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But in the end, he said nothing, slowly withdrew his hand, took out his phone, and called Zhao Tong.

After Shen Jiyuan finished making the call, Shen Ji's raging emotions slowly subsided.

"What...is this?" Shen Jiyuan asked softly.

Shen Ji glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Shen Jiyuan raised an eyebrow. "Can't I say?"

Shen Ji shook his head. "This is... a new type of drug that has been circulating on the market in recent years, commonly known as 'fiery pepper,' or sometimes as 'small chili pepper.'"

"The main ingredient... is cathinone."
