Zhong Kui's Diary
Director Li?
Hearing this, I was also greatly astonished. Could it be that Tongtong Toy Store is owned by Director Li? However, even if he is the owner, it wouldn't be surprising. If officials don't think of themselves, they might as well go home and play Mahjong. Officials and businesspeople often overlap; it's quite common for officials to use their power to engage in business. However, for a dignified Public Security Bureau Chief to run a Delivery Van seems a bit excessive; it feels like a waste of the director's position.
"So what about this Ding Zi?" I asked, expressing my disbelief that this Delivery Van belongs to Director Li.
Lingfeng lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and blew several smoke rings. Suddenly sitting up straight, he picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers: "Chen, do you know the name of Boss Lady? Uh-huh, alright, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Lingfeng frowned and said, "Director Li's Wife is named Ding Hong. Ding Hong Ding Zi, this Ding Zi should be the name of Director Li/aunt's child. It's perfectly normal for Director Li to open a store under his aunt's name."
"Since that's the case, why did Li Dexin go to Moon City Post to bring back this Six Masks? It's clearly his own store; couldn't he just sell it directly?" After saying this, I paused for half a second, cleared my throat, and continued, "Six Masks is a Spirit. Did he know or not?"
My question was somewhat contradictory. If he knew that this Mask was a Spirit, why would he go to the scene to possess the Dual-Faced Mask? If he didn't know these Masks were Spirits, where did he get this Six Masks?
"By the way, where's Qingcheng? I have something to ask her." I hadn't seen Xiao Qingcheng when I came in.
"This matter here has already concluded; I'm preparing to send her back to Beijing. The flight is this afternoon; she’s probably packing her luggage now," Lingfeng said while stroking his chin, looking at me thoughtfully. "Zheng Nan, what do you mean?"
"Just call her over; I need to confirm something with her." I frowned and said, "There might be things we don't understand in this situation."
Lingfeng made a call to Xiao Qingcheng. Half an hour later, she appeared in the office.
I got straight to the point and asked, "Qingcheng, how did you eliminate that Dual-Faced Phantom from Li Dexin?"
Xiao Qingcheng looked at me in confusion, not understanding what I meant.
I had no choice but to explain that I discovered Li Dexin was the mastermind behind everything. After hearing this, Xiao Qingcheng frowned and said, "Are you saying that all of this is Li Dexin's doing?"
"Not just that; the Six Masks were brought out by him. Just this alone is already quite revealing. You should tell me about your situation at that time," I replied.
"It was just like that Shadow Phantom; I used the Peach Wood Sword to directly pierce that Spirit, and then it turned into Bear Big's Mask. It was that simple." Xiao Qingcheng finished her explanation in just a couple of sentences, which left me feeling frustrated. I wanted to know the details.
Before I could ask Xiao Qingcheng to repeat herself, she instead asked me, "What was your situation like?"
So, I carefully recounted the process of dealing with the Deceptive Spirit and Devouring Soul, even detailing the encounter with the Frenzied Spirit. See? I was thorough.
Xiao Qingcheng smiled as she held my pulse point, and I felt a tingling sensation spread throughout my body. As she withdrew her hand, that tingling feeling also disappeared.
"Qingcheng, are you serious? You actually gave me a jolt," I joked.
"Enough of your nonsense; tell Guo'er to tear your mouth apart! This is Daoist Inner Vision Technique. There really is a powerful energy within you, but I don't know how to help you harness it," Xiao Qingcheng said, a hint of envy on her face.
I shrugged it off and said, "If you want it, you can have it; it's useless for me."
"Are you really that generous? Hehe, I'm not joking with you. That energy has already fused with your body; unless there’s a huge change, it will always belong to you," Xiao Qingcheng sighed and then asked, "By the way, what did your Niu Yongjun say back then?"
I recalled carefully; fortunately, it was just these two events that happened, and I could barely remember: "He said something about... Dead Thing Ang... clack clack... and also... Mo Yi An... clack clack... something about hitting... drinking Wen..."
“Dead Thing Ang? Clatter clatter?” Xiao Qingcheng and Lingfeng murmured to themselves.
“Could his ‘Dead Thing Ang’ be a ‘double’?” After a moment, Xiao Qingcheng looked at me uncertainly.
Dead Thing Ang, double! Yes, from the perspective of pronunciation, that's exactly how it sounds. Then the next part, Mo Yi An, noodles. Dual-Faced! To beat, drink warm, Spirit! Dual-Faced Phantom.
Damn, Frenzied Spirit wants to tell us that it was Dual-Faced Phantom who harmed him.
Dual-Faced Phantom harmed him? How could that be possible?
I suddenly recalled that at Xingcheng Kangning Hospital, Zhou Zhi'an had mentioned that this Niu Yongjun was personally captured by Li Dexin, and he had been tormented in a room for quite some time while Li Dexin was possessed by Dual-Faced Phantom. Could it be that during this time, Dual-Faced Phantom plotted against Frenzied Spirit? That doesn’t make sense; the six Spirit are a loving family.
Moreover, both Devouring Soul and Deceptive Spirit were present, and the final fusion could not proceed. Could this also be the doing of Dual-Faced Phantom? What significance does it have for Dual-Faced Phantom to create such chaos? Didn’t he end up dead himself? A flood of chaotic questions surged in my mind, and I felt overwhelmed. I lit a cigarette and exhaled a long plume of smoke.
“Lingfeng, do you have all the Six Masks with you?” Xiao Qingcheng suddenly asked.
“Yes, Zheng Nan is supposed to bring me the remaining masks today. I took all the previous masks out of the evidence room,” Lingfeng replied as he got up and retrieved the Six Masks, laying them out on the desk one by one.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Lingfeng didn’t bother to put away the masks and said, “Come in!”
A female officer walked in holding a document and handed it to Lingfeng: “Ling Ju, here’s the minutes from yesterday’s meeting. Please sign after you’ve read it. Oh, there are so many masks on this table? Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Snoopy, Pleasant Goat, Rogue Rabbit, and even Xiong Er. Haha, Ling Ju, are you planning to hold a masquerade ball? Why is there an Xiong Er but no Bear Big?”
Lingfeng laughed and said, “You’ll be the first one invited to the ball!” He then lowered his head to sign before handing the document back to the female officer, who smiled as she left.
"What did his Bear Big Xiong Er mean just now?" Lingfeng asked me with a smile.
"Don't you watch Animated Series? Bear Big Xiong Er Bald Qiang is a very popular Animated Series right now." I said, holding a cigarette in my mouth. "Bear Big Xiong Er are two bears; they are brothers..."
At this point, a spark flashed in my mind, and I suddenly stood up, reaching to pull the cigarette from my mouth. Unexpectedly, the Filter Tip stuck to my lips, and as I tugged, the cigarette butt flew everywhere, scattering ash all over my face.
I spat out the ash from my mouth, not caring whether I had burned myself, and urgently said, "Bear Big Xiong Er have always been inseparable. You guys, could this Dual-Faced be composed of two Spirits?"
Xiao Qingcheng and Lingfeng both frowned at what I said.
"You mean, the Dual-Faced has two Spirits, and I've only eliminated one?" Xiao Qingcheng said slowly.
"Very likely!" I nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Li Dexin to investigate. If it's true, then let's have some fun!" Xiao Qingcheng stood up.
I nodded at Lingfeng: "You handle getting Li Dexin to meet us somewhere. Leave this kind of thing to us; it's just killing a Spirit, right? We're quite experienced at this."
Since one Dual-Faced could be eliminated by Xiao Qingcheng, then naturally the other Dual-Faced could also be eliminated by her. It's as simple as 'one plus one equals two,' so I wasn't worried about safety at all. The only thing left to do was to follow behind Xiao Qingcheng and watch the show. If I'm correct, there should still be a Bear Big Mask on Li Dexin.
Lingfeng called Li Dexin, saying that tonight Jiang Haoyu was treating us to dinner at the Wangjiang South Restaurant. We agreed to meet there at seven o'clock sharp, exchanged some casual remarks, hung up the phone, and he made a 'K' gesture at us.
The Wangjiang South Restaurant is located in the River District, not far from the Municipal Public Security Bureau River Division. This place was originally developed as a large shopping mall, but after the investors withdrew their funding, it was left as a shell. The boss of Wangjiangnan, being quite business-savvy, rented this shell from the government at an extremely low price, made some minor renovations, and turned it into a restaurant. Because of the cheap rent, the layout of the restaurant is quite grand; the parking lot is as big as a football field, and there's a river dug around it with several rows of poplar and willow trees planted. From afar, it has a unique Jiangnan charm.
The main reason for this restaurant is that it only has three floors renovated, while the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors are all bare frames. When the time comes, we can find an excuse to lure Li Dexin up to those upper floors; even if we deal with Dark and Gloomy, it won't matter.
Around seven o'clock, Xiao Qingcheng and I had already settled into the private room. After a while, the door to the room was pushed open, and Li Dexin walked in. Upon seeing the two of us, he paused for a moment and smiled as he asked, "Qingcheng is here too. Where are Jiang Secretary and Ling?"
Li Dexin definitely recognized Xiao Qingcheng since she had extracted a Spirit from him related to Xiong Er. If this Li Dexin wasn't Bear Big, then Xiao Qingcheng could be considered his lifesaver; if he was Bear Big, well, then she would be his enemy.
Xiao Qingcheng smiled and said, "Director Li, Vice Ling and Jiang Secretary are upstairs discussing matters. The land for River Division can still be expanded a bit; anyway, no one else wants the surrounding land."
"Hahaha, Ling really has ideas! Why didn't I think of that before?" Li Dexin laughed heartily and said to us, "Are they on the top floor? I'll go up and take a look too."
I stood up and smiled, "Director Li, let me accompany you and Qingcheng upstairs; it hasn't been renovated much up there, so it might not be safe."
Li Dexin laughed boldly, "Haha, I come from a military background; how could I be afraid of this? Alright then, let's go up together!"
The three of us left the private room and climbed the stairs. To prevent accidents, Wangjiangnan's Boss had installed several high-powered spotlights at each corner of every floor. Even though it was dark outside, the floors were still bright as day; however, the power cords were coiled on the ground, which could trip someone if they weren't careful.
When we reached the sixth floor, Li Dexin walked straight toward the center of the floor. Just as Xiao Qingcheng and I were astonished, Li Dexin stopped in the middle of the floor and turned to look at us with a strange smile on his face: "We are now on the sixth floor; this number is nice—six six great smoothness. This is where you two will meet your demise!"
