Let's start by analyzing the sun

After lunch, the orioles and swallows cleared away the cups, plates, and bowls like butterflies flitting through flowers.

"Knock! Knock!"

A knock sounded on the door.

A familiar figure pushed the door open and entered on their own.

It was none other than the chief's assistant, a woman with an amazing waist-to-hip ratio.

She was no longer dressed as an assistant, but had changed into a chauffeur's uniform.

The woman smiled brightly, "Sergeant Cheng, I'll be your guide and driver this afternoon. Please feel free to tell me where you'd like to go."

Cheng Han frowned slightly.

I clearly said I didn't want a guide, yet she still shamelessly pushed her way in. Isn't that a bit much?

The female assistant noticed his frown and immediately explained, "You encountered a very unpleasant incident as soon as you arrived in Anhua City, which has left you with a terrible impression of our city's Patrol Department.

"In fact, our Patrol Department does an excellent job. We've consistently ranked first among the three cities in the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm for two out of the last three years."

Cheng Han glanced at her, "Why are you telling me this?"

The female assistant gave a charming smile, "You will definitely be a big figure in the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm in the future, so your opinion of the Anhua City Patrol Department is very important."

Cheng Han shook his head, "Aren't you thinking too far ahead? I'm only a teenager."

The female assistant smiled, "You are a genius who appears once in a century. Your achievements in your teens surpass the achievements of most people in their entire lives. Your future is limitless."

She added seriously, "If we fail to reverse your negative impression of our city's Patrol Department in time, we'll be in big trouble if you become a big figure in the future and say just one casual word about us."

Cheng Han didn't speak again.

He felt a little strange. So this beautiful female assistant is a public relations person, and I've become the target?

The female assistant quickly changed the subject, "Sergeant Cheng, the most famous scenic spot in Anhua City during winter is called 'Winter Garden'. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to visit and appreciate it."

Cheng Han hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."

The inner city's network of rivers is complex and vast. My black cat's investigation won't be done so quickly, so it's good to have a place to pass the time.

The female assistant immediately led the way, bringing Cheng Han to a luxurious crystal energy car and eagerly opening the door, "Please get in."

Cheng Han calmly sat inside.

Soon.

The vehicle started and drove out of the clubhouse.

After the crystal energy car drove for a few hundred meters.

The female assistant began to introduce the Patrol Department's achievements, "In the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm, our city's security has consistently ranked first for the past five years. The Patrol Department has put in tremendous effort for this."

She gave an example, "For example, the number of heinous crimes such as robbery and homicide has always been lower than the other two cities…"

Before she could finish speaking.

A voice from afar interrupted, "Someone's robbing!"

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

The female assistant looked embarrassed.

She had just been boasting about the good security, but immediately ran into a robbery case. This slap in the face was as fast as a whirlwind.

Cheng Han turned his head to look out the window and saw a woman sitting on the sidewalk a dozen meters away, shouting loudly.

Twenty meters ahead of the woman, a thin man was running wildly. This guy was extremely cunning, darting wherever there were more pedestrians.

Further ahead was a large green space. Once the man escaped into it, it would probably be difficult to find him.

The female assistant said quickly, "Sergeant Cheng, I've cultivated the Nine Yuan Battle Technique. I want to stop the car and deal with…"

Cheng Han interrupted her, "No need, that guy can't run away. Keep driving."

The female assistant was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the robber in the distance.

She saw that the latter's situation had become extremely strange. No matter how he stepped, he was always running in place.

The robber also realized that something was wrong and began to run like crazy, but it was of no use.

The female assistant found it both funny and surprising.

What was funny was that this scene was even more amusing than a slapstick comedy.

What was surprising was that Sergeant Cheng had quietly controlled this guy with just a glance. He was too amazing!

She had come into contact with many Black Armor Army warriors responsible for curfew patrols, but the latter only knew how to use the Nine Yuan Battle Technique to deal with enemies.

In comparison, Sergeant Cheng's methods were so clever that they didn't carry a trace of smoke. No wonder he's a genius!

The female assistant continued to drive while curiously inquiring, "Is this a powerful mental martial skill you learned in the Black Armor Army?"

Cheng Han shook his head and explained, "No, there's no such technique in the Black Armor Army. This is a little trick I figured out myself, called 'Drawing the Ground as a Prison'."

The female assistant's mouth suddenly formed an "O" shape, and the look in her eyes changed.

Cheng Han coughed and reminded, "Pay attention to the road while driving!"

The female assistant flusteredly said, "Oh," but still glanced in the rearview mirror from time to time.

She had only heard rumors about the legendary genius teenager before, but now she finally had a real understanding.

Outside the city.

The black cat was happily bouncing around while using "Shadow Clone" to search the river.

It had played in every corner inside and outside Qinglin City, and suddenly coming to a new city filled it with novelty. It was having so much fun.

The black cat used its tail to roll up a snowball and threw it out with a "swoosh."

The snowball drew a huge arc in the air, flying over a distance of more than five hundred meters and hitting a gray stone wall more than ten meters high.

"Pa!"

The snowball exploded into snow dust.

Accurate hit!

And it hit the exact center of the stone wall.

The black cat shook its tail triumphantly.

This cat is really amazing!

The stone wall hit by the snowball was a windbreak wall built by Anhua City. As the name suggests, it was used to block strong winds.

Due to its geographical location, strong winds rise from the distant river valley every spring and autumn, sweeping across the entire city.

If it was just wind, that would be fine.

The key is that it is actually mixed with a kind of "weird wind". People affected by this strangeness feel that they have turned into wind, and then climb to a high place and jump down.

About fifty years ago, the Xuange Xuan scholar conducted an exploration of the river valley and ordered Anhua City to build a large windbreak wall in the south of the city. Since then, the strange wind has been reduced by more than half.

Soon.

The black cat rolled up a second snowball and was about to throw it when its tail suddenly let go.

Because its shadow clone had once again encountered a pale white object at the bottom of the river. Although most of it was buried in the silt, it still recognized it at a glance.

This is a human skeleton!

The black cat felt more and more that something was wrong.

Why are there so many human bones under the inner city river in Anhua City? This cat has only checked less than 20% of the river, and has seen at least thirty!

There's a problem!

The black cat squatted on the ground and transmitted the image to its master.

A message came immediately: "Warden, well done!"

It happily wagged its tail a few times.

Just then.

The black cat suddenly heard shouts coming from not far away.

"Da Zhu! Come home soon!"

Judging from the old voice, it seemed to be an old woman.

The black cat trotted over and confirmed its judgment.

This was an old woman wearing a worn cotton-padded jacket. Although her head was wrapped in a headscarf, her gray hair could still be seen.

She walked along the river in the snow, leaning on a cane, looking around while shouting as hard as she could.

"Da Zhu! Come home soon!"

The black cat watched the old woman and secretly guessed.

Is Da Zhu her son?

Could it be that Da Zhu is an idiot who accidentally got lost, so she came out to find him?

After a while.

The old woman was old and weak, and couldn't walk after walking for a while. She stood in place to rest, still muttering something in her mouth.

"Da Zhu, I have asked the Patrol Department countless times. The patrol officers always say that you entered the wilderness and disappeared in the end.

"Mom doesn't believe their words at all, because you said that you only catch fish in the river outside the city and never leave Anhua City too far.

"Da Zhu, for more than five years, I have come outside the city to look for you whenever I have time. Mom doesn't need you to catch fish. Just come home with Mom…"

The old woman's voice was full of urgency and the deepest expectation.

Only then did the black cat realize that it had guessed wrong.

Coming out to catch fish five years ago, wouldn't that be when he disappeared by the water? The water monster cannibalism incident that the master investigated is also related to the river.

Why does this cat feel that these two things may be related?

And the Patrol Department said that water monster cannibalism only appeared recently.

This cat doesn't believe their words!

The black cat turned its head to look at the water surface next to it, and the tail stopped wagging when it thought of the surprisingly large number of bones at the bottom of the water.

There is absolutely a huge problem here!

Winter Garden.

The so-called "Winter Garden" is actually a large greenhouse garden built of brick walls and glass, covering an area of more than twenty acres.

In the cold winter season, the flowers and plants in the outdoor garden have long withered in the cold wind, while the flowers in the greenhouse are still in full bloom. This is the most beautiful season here.

This is also the origin of the word "Winter Garden".

The Winter Garden does not appreciate itself in isolation. Anyone can enter and view it as long as they are dressed properly and buy a ticket for three copper coins.

The owner does so naturally not for the sake of such a small amount of ticket money, but to allow people throughout the city to appreciate the beauty of the Winter Garden.

Therefore, the Winter Garden in winter has always been an extremely lively place in Anhua City.

The female assistant drove the crystal energy car all the way to the outside of the Winter Garden.

Cheng Han found that this garden, famous in Anhua City, actually had a "Closed for Reception" sign hung up, but this car drove straight in and headed straight for the entrance of the garden.

This posture of closed garden viewing is undoubtedly a standard treatment for big shots.

A well-dressed middle-aged man and a gorgeously dressed teenager had already been waiting here in advance.

"Chih!"

Accompanied by a whistling sound of airflow, a large amount of steam came out, and the crystal energy car stopped.

The middle-aged man acted like a waiter and personally stepped forward to open the car door.

Cheng Han thanked him, "Thank you for your trouble!"

The middle-aged man smiled, "Sergeant Cheng, it is my honor to serve you."

The female assistant came over and introduced, "This is 'Fang Qinghuai', and this is his son 'Fang Tingyuan'. The Winter Garden is the Fang family's meticulously managed industry for several generations."

Cheng Han nodded, "Good afternoon, both of you!"

The gorgeously dressed teenager, Fang Tingyuan, took the initiative to express his welcome, "Sergeant Cheng, your arrival makes the Winter Garden shine."

This person was about the same age as Cheng Han, but his expression was full of restraint.

This was obviously a pre-arranged link by the Fang family, the purpose of which was to show their presence in front of the big shots.

Cheng Han naturally saw this.

A wealthy son of about the same age was trying his best to perform in front of him, which really made him feel emotional.

Fang Qinghuai took over the conversation smoothly and gestured a "please", "Sergeant Cheng, the Winter Garden is waiting for you, this distinguished guest, to view it!"

Fang Tingyuan rushed forward two steps and opened the wooden door at the entrance of the garden.

A warm air rushed towards him.

A colorful scene immediately came into Cheng Han's eyes.
