Chapter 114 The Stone of the Sage(1/2)
Hearing Ai Qing's response, the legal specialist laughed.
"I haven't heard that the Astronomical Society has any capable operators in Xinhai!" The middle-aged man sneered, "Don't just send two cats and dogs to deal with it and be done with it. What we want is the result."
"A cat or a dog?"
Ai Qing raised her eyebrows: "If you think that the person who personally killed Green Day's international criminals and quelled the unrest among the returning people of the New Sea within just one week of joining the company is Ah Mao and Ah Gou, I can only say that Wanli is really full of talents.
The fifth level is like clouds."
The legal specialist was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Ai Qing's staff had such a strong resume. Then he looked at the manager with some suspicion: Is this woman trying to frame me?
The manager seemed to have remembered something and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. He quietly shook his head at the legal specialist and signaled him not to dwell on this issue.
"It seems like you have doubts about his abilities? That's normal. After all, he is a seventeen-year-old brat."
Ai Qing's words seemed to expose her shortcomings. Instead, the legal specialist who was initially hesitant suddenly looked harsh. But then, she heard her voice:
"But I have to say, although that guy has a good temper, his style is not very...gentle."
With that said, Ai Qing reached out and took out a thick pile of reports from the belt of the wheelchair and placed it in front of the legal affairs officer.
It was a death report two fingers thick.
In other words, the performance is not an exaggeration...
Even the elite seeds in each lineage who invested a lot of resources could not achieve the horrific results, which can be said to be full of blood debt, especially the top three books.
In addition to Green Day's current activist Red Gloves, it was Qi Wen and his son who were once major clients of Renaissance... Almost all of this family died at the hands of that guy, and it was only a week later, when that guy was still there
Under interrogation in jail.
Until now, the viaduct mentioned in the damage report has not been repaired!
Ai Qing asked considerately: "If you really have any objections to his investigation, how about you say a few words to him in person? I'll call him over right now..."
"No, no, no!"
The legal specialist tried hard to look away from the tragic photos of the scene and forced a smile.
"Then it seems we have at least reached an agreement on this matter."
Ai Qing nodded with satisfaction, "You just said you wanted results. What a coincidence, I want them too."
As she spoke, she tapped the pen in front of her and showed a kind and formulaic smile: "But before that, we have to figure out everything that should be clarified, right?"
So, the investigation continued.
In the evening, Huaishi received a call from Ai Qing.
When he arrived anxiously, Ai Qing seemed to have been waiting for a long time and was sitting in the living room drinking black tea, looking calm and relaxed.
After Huai Shi entered the door, she glanced at him, motioned for Huai Shi to sit down, and then lowered her head to drink tea.
After putting down the tea cup, the first sentence she said made Huai Shi jump in fright.
"Looks like a good harvest?"
"Uh...what did you say?"
Huai Shi's expression twitched, "I didn't hear clearly."
"Ah, then maybe I made a mistake."
Ai Qing pointed to the document on the table and pushed it over. Huai Shi picked it up and took a look at it, confused: "Authorization letter for action? What action?"
"A few days ago, a vicious robbery occurred in Xinhai. A suspected Roman alchemist robbed the treasury of Renaissance Group and took away goods worth tens of millions..."
Where are there so many!
Huai Shi almost blurted out, tried her best to endure it, and smiled with difficulty: "Is it so excessive?"
"Yes, so our Astronomical Society must investigate to the end."
Ai Qing glanced at him and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
"Uh..." Huai Shi hesitated: "What if I can't be caught? Ahem, I mean, if I were a suspect, I would definitely run away after one vote. I can't go all over the world.
Looking for it?"
"If you can't solve it, just don't solve it. Report it to the headquarters, and then issue a reward, and that's it. There are countless unsolved cases like this every year. It's not a big case, and we don't even have the manpower to arrange it."
Ai Qing said calmly: "It's just a label of poor performance on your back, and it's just another stain on your resume."
"Just leave it to me."
Huaishi quickly put away the authorization letter and said in an impassioned voice: "Fighting criminals is the unshirkable responsibility of every member of the Astronomical Society."
stain?
Why does he care about this thing? His resume has been stained for a long time. He was penalized after he killed Qi Wen last time. Besides, he is not even an officially registered employee now, and he doesn’t want to be promoted. How can he take advantage of this?
He was satisfied with just one layer of skin.
"Confidence is a good thing."
Ai Qing calmly picked up the tea cup and glanced at him, "It's just that from the perspective of mutual trust, both you and I have a long way to go to learn..."
Huai Shi pretended not to hear.
"How about we start by helping each other?" Ai Qing said suddenly.
"Um?"
"Do you have any plans tonight?" Ai Qing asked, "For example, with an enthusiastic school girl, or with Director Fu's daughter? Or with a lady who you suddenly confessed to? I don't want to disturb you.
The world of two people."
"No! It's nothing!"
Huai Shi shook her head like a rattle, hating how she could look like a lecherous ghost in the eyes of others when she was clearly innocent.
Once again, I felt the pain of Feng Ping’s murder!
"That's good."
Ai Qing nodded: "Go to the Special Affairs Office to report later. You are going on a business trip."
"Um?"
Huaishi was stunned at first, and then was shocked: "Business trip? Where are you going?"
"It's not far, about five hours by sea."
Ai Qing finished the tea calmly and put down the cup: "Thanks to a certain suspect who engaged in an unnecessary conspiracy, at least I was able to catch the Wanli Group's sore foot.
In order to be able to carry out business smoothly in Dongxia, and also to give an explanation to the Astronomical Society, the iron roosters held back tears and handed over a piece of information.
As far as they know, a certain smuggling fleet has taken a big order. One ship is carrying a border relic excavated from hell, transporting it from Indonesia to Russia.
Our goal is to join forces with inspectors and operations specialists from other astronomical societies to stop this ship and bring back the item."
"Border relic?"
Huai Shi was curious: "What border relics? Are there other inspectors to be dispatched?"
"A fragment."
Ai Qing said, "Fragments of the Philosopher's Stone."
"What the hell?"
Huai Shi's eyes widened and she almost jumped up from her chair, in disbelief.
When Huai Shi first became an Ascended One, she once had a discussion with Crow about the Philosopher's Stone.
After all, this thing is so famous, it really has to arouse people's curiosity.
Besides, Crow is also very good at alchemy. Wouldn't she make a lot of money if she could do it?
Crow was very calm about this.
"Although the Philosopher's Stone is not common, it is not so rare that it is rare to find it in a thousand years." Crow replied, "There are probably hundreds of people active in the world today."
“Hundreds of people active in the world?”
"There are some who are dead, but I know what your problem is. Yes, the Philosopher's Stone is a living person. In other words, only a person who has reached the peak of his own stigma lineage and transformed into a prototype can be called a person.
It is the perfect thing, the Philosopher's Stone."
This is the stage division of the sublime, the process of gradually transforming into a miracle.
Crow also re-examined the five major stages of sublimation for Huai Shi, and dubbed the "Path of the Fire Sword" an advanced map in alchemy.
The first stage, mercury, needless to say.
Named after the first metal in alchemy, it describes its positioning as the basis of sublimation. Only the fertile soil of the source of salt, sulfur, and mercury can carry miracles.
The second stage, gold, has already taken a crucial step in its own pedigree, determining the future direction. The sublimator will skillfully master the talents and abilities of this category and pedigree, and some prominent stigmata.
He even has all kinds of weird talents and skills. For example, the gargoyle's eyes of hate...
The third stage, ether, is already a change of bloodline.
If before that it was just a scaly claw, strengthened piecemeal, then now it is an overall strengthening from the inside out.
To be continued...
