With the plummeting SAN value, I can only work hard to watch the drama

Chapter 164 Shaking hands and making peace

As an organization against ominous evil spirits and old sects, the Bureau of Strange Affairs is well-deserved number one in the world in terms of both the number of people and the number of "pillars".

But such a behemoth is actually not as strict internally as other organizations.

Except for a few necessary regulations that must be followed, those investigators are relatively free.

When Shen Xiu joined the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, Zheng Qinghe gave him some necessary equipment for investigators, including bone daggers, but did not give him any documents that could prove his identity as an "investigator".

At that time, Shen Xiu was still a little confused. Could it be that she was just a temporary worker without a certificate?
It wasn’t until after I completed the first mission with Zhou Cheng that I was told that none of the directors of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs to ordinary investigators had any so-called “certificates”. If you really wanted to prove your identity, you could use that dagger or other things in the box. up.

But anyone who is on their own will understand the identity of the other party as long as they see these things.

It was precisely because of this that Shen Xiu took out the dagger when she found that Guo Zilian didn't believe that she was really an investigator.

This is done completely in accordance with the "rules" in the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.

Originally, Shen Xiu's idea was not wrong, and she used this dagger exclusively owned by the Bureau of Foreign Affairs to prove her identity.

When Guozilian saw the dagger, he did believe that the young man was really his own.

But the bad thing about this is that Shen Xiu shouldn't have thrown the dagger at Guozilian.

Because there is one of the rules that must be followed in the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, no matter at any time, you must not give your dagger to others, including your own!
In fact, in the final analysis, Zheng Qinghe, Zhou Cheng and the dead Wang Quan were all to blame for this matter.

The three of them were the people who had the most contact with Shen Xiu from the Lausanne Bureau of Foreign Affairs, but none of them told Shen Xiu about the rules of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, which is why this scene happened.

Shen Xiu, who didn't know what to do, suddenly turned her face when she saw the Chinese characters, and she was confused. Seeing that the other party seemed to be about to attack immediately, she quickly took a step back.

It's not that he's afraid of the other party.

There is really no need to do anything, everyone's goal is the same, to solve the strange things in the rose garden, the two sides have no deep hatred, it is not worthwhile to waste energy in such a place.

Shen Xiu's retreat made Aliya on the side mistakenly think that "father" wanted to hand over the battlefield to her.

The corners of Alia's mouth curved, revealing two fangs. She stood in front of the square face, and was about to teach the big man who didn't know what to do, but Shen Xiu suddenly pressed her shoulder:

"Don't mess around."

After persuading Alia, Shen Xiu immediately looked at Alia's Chinese character face with a tense face and said:
"Did we have some misunderstanding?"

Guozilian originally wanted to take down the "mouse" who dared to pretend to be an "investigator" immediately, but who knew, when the other party took a step back and his companion stood beside him at his original position, a kind of penetrating The coolness from the soles of the feet rushed straight to the Tianling Gai like lightning.

The soul is trembling!

That feeling was exactly the same as the feeling he had when he was on a certain mission and was attacked by an old believer hiding in the dark.

At that time, if there were no other people beside him, he would have died a long time ago.

Since then, Guozilian has understood what that feeling means, and has escaped death many times by virtue of it.

Guozilian really didn't expect that this little girl who was just as tall as his chest would actually give him such a feeling, how could he dare to act rashly for a while.

Hearing Shen Xiu's words and seeing that the little girl didn't intend to do anything, Guo Zilian secretly heaved a sigh of relief, took a deep look at Alia, and said in a deep voice:
"Misunderstanding? No misunderstanding."

Shen Xiu took a step across, walked out from behind Aliya, frowned and said:

"Then you acted like you were going to do something just now, don't tell me you were just scaring me?"

At this time, the investigators in the two commercial vehicles sensed the abnormality here, and they all got out of the vehicle and walked over.

"Captain Yang, what happened?"

A total of 13 people got off the two cars, and the one who spoke was the short-haired woman who walked in the front.

Although the woman's words were spoken to the Chinese face, her pair of eyes kept staring closely at Shen Xiu and the two of them, as if she was afraid that the soles of their feet would be oiled.

Dui Yang with a square face waved his hand, signaling to the woman not to ask, but to look straight at Shen Xiu:

"You dare to pretend to be an investigator, so don't you allow me to scare you?"

Really know how to borrow a donkey down a slope!

Shen Xiu snickered in her heart, the other party was obviously shocked by the aura that Alia showed just now, otherwise how could she have the patience to tell him these things at this moment.

Shen Xiu glanced at the bony dagger held in her hand by the square face, and said:
"Why did I pretend to be, is there something wrong with something?"

The woman was ready to do it when she heard the Chinese character face saying that the other two were pretending to be investigators.

But when Shen Xiu said the words just now, she realized that Guozilian was actually holding a very familiar dagger in his hand.

The eyes wandered between the dagger and Shen Xiu for a few times, and the woman finally turned her doubtful eyes to the square face.

Although the woman didn't get the dagger, the woman's intuition told her that the dagger was real.

Since the things are fine, why does the team leader say that the two are fake?

The square face felt the woman's gaze, looked sideways, and frowned.

"Have you forgotten the bureau's rules?"

The woman was startled, and suddenly came to her senses, that's right, if the other party was one of her own, why would she give the dagger to the team leader?
Only those who don't know the rules of the game would do such a thing.

Then, the team leader should have judged the other party to be a counterfeit because of this!

Shen Xiu watched the two of them "sing together and harmonize", grasped the key word in it - "rules", and couldn't help frowning.

What other rules does the Bureau of Foreign Affairs have?
How come no one told him before.

"Wait, what rules are you talking about, I really don't know."

Finally discovering the problem, Shen Xiu smiled wryly.

"You say that you are your own person, and you don't even know the rules. Is this called your own person?" The woman sneered.

Shen Xiu took a deep breath and explained:

"After I joined the bureau, no one told me there were any rules. Where would I know?"

The woman sneered, showing an expression of "see how you make it up".

At this time, Guozilian suddenly said:
"You said you are also an investigator, then tell me which branch you belong to and what is the name of the director."

This has already been said very clearly, tell Shen Xiu clearly, you are definitely not from the Jingdu Bureau of Strange Affairs.

Shen Xiu said without any hesitation:
"The Lausanne City Branch has no director, only a deputy director named Zheng Qinghe. He gave me the thing in your hand."

While speaking, Shen Xiu glanced at the dagger in Guozilian's hand.

"Zheng Qinghe?"

The woman's complexion suddenly became weird, and she glanced at the sullen Chinese character face, gloating and saying:
"What a coincidence. Zheng Ju was a partner with our Team Yang when he was working in Jingdu. You made up the most easily exposed lie, tsk tsk."

This guy is partner with Zheng Qinghe?

Shen Xiu was a little surprised, and carefully looked at the square face.

This guy looks to be in his 30s, not more than 60 years old at most, and Zheng Qinghe is an "old guy" in his [-]s and [-]s. If he was really a partner with this guy when he was working in Jingdu, then he was only at that time. How old is it?

The square face took a deep look at Shen Xiu, and while reaching into his pocket, he said:
"When I first became an investigator, I was brought by Lao Zheng. He said he was my partner. In fact, he is also my teacher. What's more, he just called me yesterday."

Before the words finished, Guozilian took out the phone and made a call.

"It's really a coincidence." Shen Xiu muttered secretly.

The other party was obviously calling Zheng Qinghe, wanting to confirm his identity.

In this regard, Shen Xiu is happy to see the success.

After all, after Zheng Qinghe learned about this incident, even if he told the other party truthfully that he was no longer an investigator of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, he should say something good for himself, so as not to really cause a fight.

It seemed that she was afraid that Shen Xiu would not believe it, so the Chinese character face was specially adjusted to be hands-free.

As the phone was connected, Zheng Qinghe's joking voice came from the phone:

"Why, have you figured it out and are ready to let me introduce you a daughter-in-law?"

Guo Zi blushed slightly, coughed awkwardly, and said:

"I have a serious matter with you. I met a person here who said he was from Lausanne. I wanted to confirm it with you."

Hearing this kind of thing, Zheng Qinghe also became serious, thought about it, and said doubtfully:
"It seems that we haven't sent anyone to Jingdu recently."

As soon as these words came out, Guozi's face showed such an expression, and the woman couldn't stop laughing.

But in the next second, Zheng Qinghe suddenly changed his voice, as if he remembered something, and said:

"Well, wait a minute, is that a young man you met, what's his name?"

The square face looked at Shen Xiu, motioning to say the name.

Shen Xiu rolled her eyes and said loudly:
"Director Zheng, it's me."

On the other end of the phone, Zheng Qinghe looked at the phone strangely, muttered in a low voice, "It's really that kid", laughed and said:
"It's really you, kid, did you really go to Jingdu to mess with that?"

Shen Xiu said helplessly:
"That place belongs to my buddy's house. It's fine if I don't know about this kind of thing. If I know about it, I must help."

As she spoke, Shen Xiu suddenly complained:

"Director Zheng, why didn't you tell me the rules of the bureau when you gave me something back then."

How "cunning and cunning" Zheng Qinghe is, combined with Shen Xiu's words and the words of the owner of the phone, he immediately realized that Shen Xiu's identity was exposed by the other party because of a certain "rule".

Immediately, Zheng Qinghe apologized:

"This is indeed my fault. Didn't you want to carry out a mission with Chengcheng at that time? I didn't have time to tell you. When you came back, you forgot about it. Why didn't Chengcheng tell you?"

Shen Xiu rolled her eyes and said:

"You think she's going to tell me these things?"

Hearing this, Zheng Qinghe smiled.

Indeed, with Zhou Cheng's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to tell Shen Xiu the so-called "rules".

"So, this kid is really yours?"

At this time, Guozilian opened his mouth and said.

"This is what it is."

Zheng Qinghe on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, but still confirmed Shen Xiu's identity.

Although he was a little confused about what his old partner who was half a teacher and half a friend said, Guo Zilian just hesitated for a while, did not delve into it, chatted a few more casually, and hung up the phone.

After confirming that Shen Xiu was really one of his own, he no longer looked at Shen Xiu so sharply, and casually threw the dagger to Shen Xiu, saying:
"Remember, there is a rule in the Bureau that you must not give your weapons to others, including your own people, at any time."

Shen Xiu casually caught the dagger, inserted it back into his waist, and nodded to show that he remembered it.

"Is she your partner?"

With Shen Xiu's identity confirmed, Guozilian turned her attention to Alia again.

This seems to be a weak woman, but the strength contained in her body is enough to make the whole scene tremble.

Guozilian felt that if he had guessed correctly, this "lower-level demon hunter" who could intimidate him with his aura alone was likely to be a "pillar".

In the entire Bureau of Foreign Affairs, most of the "pillars" are in Jingdu, and only a small number are sent to those key cities.

This person is obviously not one of those people, let alone the "pillar" of Jingdu General Administration.

In other words, the other party is likely to be someone from another organization.

Shen Xiu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head:

"I don't have a partner for now, she's just my sister."

Guozilian's body shook, and his expression became very strange.

A "pillar" sister, this is incredible!
Shen Xiu didn't want to reveal the identity of this "pillar", but because of Zheng Qinghe's endorsement, Guozilian didn't get to the bottom of it.

Huang Wu, who was hiding at the side, saw that the two parties shook hands and made peace, and there was no tendency to fight, so he ran over with a bunch of smiles and said:
"Everyone, this is not a place to talk, let's go in first."

Guo Zilian nodded, turned around and walked towards the commercial vehicle, took two steps, stopped suddenly, turned towards Shen Xiu and said:

"By the way, my name is Yang Ye."

"Shen Xiu, Alia." Shen Xiu nodded and said.

As Yang Ye and the others returned to the business car, Shen Xiu and Ailiya also boarded the sightseeing car driven by Huang Wu.

A group of people drove straight towards the castle.

A few minutes later, three cars stopped in front of the castle.

Everyone got out of the car one by one, and after a while, they planned to enter the castle and start doing business.

But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the castle.

Ah!
Yang Ye's face was serious, and he ran in first without saying a word.

Shen Xiu frowned, and looked at Alia beside her.

Aliya tilted her head in confusion, and shook her head:
"I didn't feel anything."

Hearing this, Shen Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, raised her eyebrows, and led Alia to chase after her.

When Shen Xiu found the screaming person, she realized that it was the middle-aged woman who had spoken to him a few words.

At this time, the middle-aged woman was sitting on the ground in a daze, with her head down and her body trembling uncontrollably.

The rest of the servants gathered together and stood looking at her from a distance, shrinking back and not daring to approach her.

Shen Xiu walked over and asked Yang Ye who arrived one step ahead of him, and said:
"What happened?"

Yang Ye didn't speak, just pointed to the corner of the wall.

Shen Xiu looked along, there seemed to be a smear of white there, but because it was in the corner, and it happened to be under the window, the light was not enough, so it was impossible to see clearly.

"Go and take a look." Shen Xiu said.

Aliya nodded with a smile on her eyebrows, walked over and picked up the thing.

"It's a piece of human skin. Hey, it looks like this aunt."

Aliya compared the human skin with the middle-aged woman, twisted the sides of the human skin with both hands, and showed it in front of Shen Xiu and the others.

Sure enough, that human-skinned face was exactly the same as that of a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman slowly raised her head.

When her eyes fell on the human skin, she passed out from the extreme fear.
