… …

Opening his eyes.

This was an old room.

Light scattered from the ceiling, and in front of him was a desk, along with an old-fashioned iron teacup.

There were two other people in the room, both police officers.

They were discussing something in low voices, as if waiting for him.

Zhang Feng began to recall his memories, knowing that he was a 'small private detective' and also an assistant to the local police station.

It wasn't like he was arrested right from the start.

Moreover, he also had experience in 'collecting evidence' in his memory.

He also had some fighting skills, but not much.

However, for Zhang Feng, as long as he had some muscle memory, he could quickly stretch his muscles and bones, allowing his body to adapt to some boxing routines.

At the same time, Zhang Feng looked at his own attributes.

[Age: 35]

[Physique: 12]

[Root Bone: 1.7]

[Martial Arts: 2.5]

Because of the blessing of 'Born to be Talented' and 'Fifty Strings', the character's starting talents were not low.

But if you remove the talent, the root bone is only 0.7, and martial arts is 1.

'What are they here for?' Zhang Feng looked at the two police officers again. Although he knew their names and had some work dealings with them.

But he didn't know what they were specifically here to do.

So, taking advantage of the 'blank period' before the start, Zhang Feng didn't delay and quickly looked at the first enhancement based on his own attributes and the current environment and memories.

[1: Putting it into Practice]

[2: Ambition]

[3: Dangerous Game (Blindness)]

Zhang Feng glanced at it and first looked at 1.

[Putting it into Practice: Ordinary, Rare, Appears at the Beginning, Exclusive to Investigation and Case Handling Identities]

[Note 1: Assist in the investigation of a major case together]

[Note 2: Strengthening effects are not stackable. For example, when assisting in two or more cases, the strengthening effect is still considered one case]

[Effect 1: When you assist in a case, every month that passes, Physique + 0.5, Martial Arts + 0.1. After solving the case, the attribute continues to be effective]

[Effect 2: This strengthening effect lasts for a total of 12 months]

[Effect 3: After you assist in a case for half a year, or after solving a case for half a year, you will receive an additional Strengthening Choice]

After reading the introduction, Zhang Feng felt that this was a growth type.

After reading it.

Zhang Feng looked at 2 again

[Ambition: Ordinary, Rare, Career, Appears at the Beginning]

[Note: After selection, your main quest will be changed to 'Get rid of the detective status and transfer to the police station's official establishment within one year', and the non-essential task will be changed to 'Solve five cases personally']

[Effect 1: Every time you personally solve a case, Physique + 1, Root Bone + 0.2]

[Effect 2: After all cases are solved, you will receive an additional Strengthening Choice]

[Effect 3: After completing the main and non-essential tasks, lifespan + 5 (years), Root Bone + 1, Martial Arts + 0.5]

This is good, the talent reward after completion is higher than 1.

But it belongs to the career path of getting ashore.

Zhang Feng wants freedom at the moment and doesn't really want to go that way. He feels that it is not as good as 1's 'assistance'.

'Perhaps one day when I feel tired, or can't find a new path and insights, I can experience the "lifestyle mode" of the adventure world.

Not cultivating, not fighting, just planting flowers, growing vegetables, building small houses, living a carefree life, and watching the world for a hundred years, which is also a kind of cultivation.'

While thinking, Zhang Feng looked at the familiar Dangerous Game.

[Effect: 24 hours of blindness, after the end, Physique + 1.2, and an additional Strengthening]

The attributes are a bit more than before.

It's just blindness, and the attributes are not much, so forget it.

After Zhang Feng finished scanning, he finally chose 1

After assisting in a major case, 0.5 Physique and 0.1 Martial Arts per month.

At the same time, Zhang Feng looked at the second strengthening.

[1: Physique + 0.3]

[2: Martial Arts + 0.1]

[3: Digestion and Absorption + 30 grams]

The normal person's food intake is 250 grams to 400.

This body is a bit thin, but let's calculate it based on 400.

30 grams is a one-tenth increase.

0.1 Martial Arts, for his own talent of 2.5, is only one twenty-fifth of the improvement.

Both are development-related, and the two are also complementary.

Zhang Feng chose 3 to increase his own base number first.

This body is too thin.

Then quickly look at the third strengthening.

[1: Strange Apple]

[2: Physique + 0.3]

[3: Ordinary Nutritional Drink]

Zhang Feng glanced at it and looked at 1

[Strange Apple: Ordinary]

[Effect: Increases Physique by 0.7 after eating, and reduces the chance of constipation within a month]

Choose 1.

An apple suddenly appeared on the table.

The two police officers chatting in the distance didn't notice.

Zhang Feng picked it up and finished it in a few bites.

Perhaps the sound of eating was a bit loud.

A police officer in the distance looked over and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, I saw you were thinking about something just now, and I was embarrassed to disturb you."

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and passed it to Zhang Feng,

"We're on shift rotation, so we discussed finding you for supper. It's already eleven o'clock at night. When do you get off work?"

After passing the cigarette, he lit it and sat on the sofa in the room.

The other person also started to set up a chess game as if he was familiar with the place.

It seems that if Zhang Feng is still busy.

The two of them are going to play a few games first.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Feng also understood that these two friends should be fine and were looking for him to eat. No wonder they were not in a hurry.

"Okay, you arrange it." Zhang Feng also responded, wanting to see what the opening would be in the future.

Saying that, Zhang Feng also cautiously got up and looked out the window, wanting to see if it would be a natural disaster opening.

Lest he relax, and while drinking tea and playing chess with the two of them, a mud truck suddenly crashed over with a sinister laugh.

His place is a storefront on the first floor.

"Lao Zhang, what are you looking at?" The police officer is worthy of being from the criminal investigation team. When he saw Zhang Feng sticking to the window, he could tell what Zhang Feng was looking at.

"Nothing, just looking at the night view." Zhang Feng replied while looking out at the street.

But before Zhang Feng could ponder for a few seconds.

Beep beep, the police officer's phone rang.

After he answered and chatted with the other party for a few words, he said to Zhang Feng: "Sorry, Lao Zhang, we won't eat tonight. Something came up."

"What's wrong?" The other person asked the police officer: "Something from the team?"

"Yeah." The police officer nodded, "There's a murder in the western suburbs."

"Then call Lao Zhang along." The other person said as he got up: "Lao Zhang is considered half a colleague in our team, and he is a master in the investigation industry in our city."

When the government handles a case, they can invite people in professional fields under the premise of being responsible for relevant confidentiality.

Especially since Zhang Feng has assisted them many times, they are jokingly called 'half a colleague' by their bureau.

… …

Woo woo—

The police car was driving on the road to the crime scene.

The police officer was driving, and the other person had only been on duty for one day and was currently dozing off in the back seat.

Zhang Feng was sitting in the passenger seat and saw that someone didn't know who had thrown the newspaper randomly on the street. At this time, it was rolled up by the wind and stuck to the window for a few seconds.

The date was 2003.

Whoosh, the newspaper was taken away by the wind again.

Revealing the scene in the distance, it was a factory pulled by a cordon.

"We're here, wake up."

The driving police officer shouted while stopping the car outside the cordon.

At this moment, it was almost twelve o'clock at night, and there were still many people watching the excitement, and there were also some media personnel who wanted to squeeze in.

"What's going on?"

"Excuse me, what happened here?"

"Hello, hello, can you tell me in detail?"

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

The sounds outside the cordon were mixed, and there were many people.

But more people here were the factory workers gathered here, waiting for the latest news from inside.

Because after their boss died, they didn't know whether they would start work the next day or not.

However, some people showed smiles.

"He should have died long ago. He delayed paying wages for so long. He's getting his retribution!"

"It's good that he's dead, but what about the wages?"

"I heard he ruined Sister Lin's daughter a few days ago. A guy like that deserves to die! He's probably afraid the police will catch him, so he killed himself first!"

"Even if he didn't kill himself, I was going to break his legs! To get justice for my master's daughter!"

There were quite a few people nearby cursing the boss.

Some people even had weapons in their hands. It seemed that even if the boss wasn't dead, he would at least get beaten up today.

"Hello, can you tell me more about it?" This also caused several media personnel to shift their focus to these brave and outspoken people.

At the same time, in the car.

After Zhang Feng got out of the car, he saw a group of people surrounding him.

"Make way, everyone!"

After the two police officers got out of the car, they politely began to disperse the crowd. Although it wasn't very effective, as people would still gather, it at least cleared a path for the moment.

"Police comrades, can I ask..."

"What's going on inside?"

Zhang Feng followed the two of them through the crowd, and the most common questions he heard were 'What's the situation with the case? What's going on?'

The two police officers didn't say much and went straight inside.

Zhang Feng also ignored the nosy people around him and went into the factory.

Ka Ka—

At this moment, many personnel were collecting evidence. Behind a machine in the corner of the factory, there was a very strange corpse.

The reason it was strange was that a wooden sword was stuck in its chest, and there were Taoist talismans next to the body, as well as some incense ash and an incense burner that had been deliberately placed.

At the same time, a police officer came over and gave Zhang Feng and the others a general overview of the deceased's information.

"The deceased is named You Shouzhao, male, 45 years old, and is the owner of this machinery factory. Based on the state of the corpse and blood coagulation, the approximate time of death is estimated to be one hour ago.

At that time, the factory had already closed, and the staff on duty had been sent away by him.

According to many people outside, someone was lying in wait for him outside the factory. He didn't dare to go out, nor did he dare to leave anyone on duty, fearing that these people would secretly open the door?"

While he was talking, he looked at Zhang Feng again, "Why did you let Lao Zhang come? This scene is a bit strange... Can he handle it?"

Zhang Feng usually assists with cases involving people who look relatively intact, or normal criminal cases.

But this person's death was a bit strange, with a sword stuck in his exposed chest, and the surrounding arrangements all gave people a huge psychological discomfort.

Many police officers here vomited once or twice.

Only some veteran police officers could still hold back, but they also felt psychologically uncomfortable.

"Ugh..." Getting closer, the two police officers who brought Zhang Feng over were also disgusted by the appearance of the corpse and ran to the side to vomit.

Zhang Feng also frowned, and a feeling of nausea arose in his heart.

At first, Zhang Feng also felt it was normal, after all, the corpse was too strange.

But soon after, after Zhang Feng sniffed the air, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

'Besides the smell of machine oil and blood from the nearby machines, there is no other smell in the air, but there is burnt incense ash and some burnt talisman paper over there. There should be some kind of sandalwood or burning smell.

And I've seen everything, how could I be disgusted by a strangely dead corpse?'

Zhang Feng thought for a few seconds and quickly found the answer. He suppressed his nausea and spoke in the quiet environment where everyone was collecting evidence and observing:

"There is Wu Chen incense in the air. It grows in tropical rainforests and is tasteless and non-toxic.

But next to a corpse, the visual psychological impact, coupled with the medicinal properties of Wu Chen incense, will cause nausea and vomiting, making it impossible to concentrate.

The solution is to crush white apricots, soak them in water, and apply them to the mouth and nose. This medicine can solve it."

As Zhang Feng said this, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart, so he used the ring finger and index finger of his left hand to tap one inch below his left shoulder.

This is also a solution, equivalent to using 'pain' to awaken the spirit, but Zhang Feng can't tap everyone.

When everyone present heard the 'ordinary detective' Zhang Feng suddenly say so many professional terms, they first suspected him, and then looked at a middle-aged man next to the corpse.

He is the captain of the criminal police.

"Team Wang? Us?" Someone in the police force asked.

'How does he know so much? He's usually silent when collecting evidence.' Team Wang first looked at Zhang Feng curiously, and then said to the others:

"Go, send two people out to see which pharmacy is still open, or go to the nearest hospital and buy that... white... white apricot. Indeed, my mind is dizzy. I almost forgot what you just said."

"Normal." Zhang Feng replied casually and then began to examine the corpse.

"You..." Team Wang saw Zhang Feng coming over and actually wanted to stop him, but he thought of Zhang Feng's previous 'professional performance'.

He thought about it and decided to let it go.

"What else can you see?" Team Wang's mind was now dizzy and he had no ideas, so he asked Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng ignored him and first examined the corpse, seeing that the wooden sword had pierced his heart and his chest had been cut open, with a piece missing from his heart.

Zhang Feng glanced around and looked at some of the unburned talisman paper next to him.

They were arranged in a star shape, and the talisman paper was mostly covered with cultivation terms.

'This is? The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, and also Small Seal Script?' Because Zhang Feng studied meridians and medicinal herbs, he had read many books about Chinese medicine and Taoism in multiple worlds.

He could understand these terms and the Qin Dynasty Small Seal Script, and knew that this belonged to a kind of Taoist secret technique.

Roughly 'borrowing' people's energy, 'borrowing' life, and 'borrowing' other people's lives to cultivate.

But in reality, this 'killer' can't borrow anything.

Because the Strengthening Choice has already told Zhang Feng the final answer: this world has no spirit.

If one could cultivate, then in the initial development attributes, there would definitely be options such as spiritual roots.

Then, after eliminating the impossible.

This person is likely using these strange methods, pretending to be an envoy of the Taoist sect, and then cleansing the evil people in the world.

Or, he has cultivated to the point of being possessed by a demon.

In just a few minutes, plus the detective's memory.

Zhang Feng quickly sorted out all his thoughts by using the convenience of 'Strengthening Choice'.

At the same time, when Zhang Feng's gaze shifted away from the corpse.

Team Wang suppressed the nausea in his heart and asked Zhang Feng, "Brother Zhang... how is it?"

"What did Lao Zhang find?" The driver also walked over.

"Zhang, tell us." The others also looked from afar, because Zhang Feng had revealed the 'nausea' with one word.

"I can almost know the killer's motive." Zhang Feng sorted out his thoughts and said to them:

"It's just a little complicated, and I have to talk about the five elements and Taoist Qi."

"What does that have to do with it?" They felt strange, but looked at the talisman paper all over the ground and didn't find it strange.

So they looked at Zhang Feng even more curiously, wanting to know what this had to do with the five elements.

Zhang Feng first pointed to the heart of the corpse before saying, "The wooden sword belongs to wood, and the heart belongs to fire.

According to the five elements, wood generates fire. When the sword is stabbed here and the heart is taken away, one obtains a 'fire attribute Qi'.

And in the chest, the five internal organs are guarded by the Green, Red, Yellow, White, and Black Emperors.

The Red Emperor, the two Qi of the Fire Virtue of Bing Ding, corresponds to the heart, which is fire.

The Green Emperor receives the three Qi of the Wood Virtue of Jia Yi, corresponding to the liver, which is wood.

The White Emperor, the four Qi of the Metal Virtue of Geng Xin, corresponds to the lungs, which are metal.

The Black Emperor, the one Qi of the Water Virtue of Ren Gui, corresponds to the kidneys, which are water.

The Yellow Emperor, the five Qi of the Earth Virtue of Wu Ji, corresponds to the spleen, which is earth.

Among them, the four Qi of the Metal Virtue and the one Qi of the Water Virtue form five, the three Qi of the Wood Virtue and the two Qi of the Fire Virtue form five, and the Yellow Emperor has his own five Qi."

After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he looked at the somewhat dazed crowd, "The killer wants to take the five Qi of the five internal organs, fuse them together, and gather the five Qi towards the origin in Taoism.

The five Qi towards the origin is what the older generation of cultivators said, as long as you gather the Qi towards the origin, you will not enter reincarnation, and one more step will take you out of the three realms."

"Really bizarre." Team Wang shook his head, his scalp tingling from listening, "The more you say, the more mysterious it becomes, and the less I understand."

"That's right if you don't understand." Zhang Feng nodded, "Because this person wants to borrow Qi to become an 'immortal' and jump out of the five elements."
