Reincarnation Paradise: Abyss Guardian

Chapter 7 Claire's Good News
The threatened old man gave up the agreement with the priest, and he told Qiu Ao that Klein's skin was in the warehouse in the backyard.

After disinfecting and bandaging the old man's wound, the old man limped and reluctantly led the way. The atmosphere between the two was dignified, but Qiu Ao didn't care.

"right here."

Qiu Ao looked at the old man suspiciously, and carefully opened the box, which contained a set of clown costumes.

"fake."

Qiu Ao told the old man the truth.

"How could it be fake!? What exactly do you want?"

"Don't believe it? Is Klein's skin afraid of being burned?"

Qiu Ao's words made the old man pause, and he stuttered: "What, what do you mean?"

"It's very simple. I want to eliminate this thing. It just so happens that you don't want to keep this thing. I can also prove my position."

As Qiu Ao said, he found a bucket of oil from the side and made a gesture to pour it on.

"Hey! Don't be here, go outside! Are you going to burn us all!?"

"Feel sorry."

Qiu Ao looked at the wooden warehouse and was a little embarrassed. He really didn't think so much just now.

"Now, it's time to prove me."

In the yard, Qiu Ao threw the wooden box on the ground, and the oil had already been poured on it. The old man was watching Qiu Ao's familiar movements, and his mind was a little distracted.

The match ignited and fell on the clown suit. The flames spread rapidly, and the sharp and ear-piercing howls sounded at the same time, deeply stimulating the eardrums of the two.

"how can that be……"

The old man was the most uncomfortable. Because of the injury, it was difficult to cover his ears to block the voice. What made him unbelievable was that the clothes could really be burned by fire?
The burning didn't last long, and it turned into a pile of black ash in less than 3 minutes.

"How is it now?"

When the old man looked at Qiu Ao again, the previous hostility was gone, and his eyes were very complicated: "I didn't expect him to lie to me..."

"I'm not interested in these, tell me, who touched this thing in the end?"

"I have no idea……"

The old man explained apologetically: "I really don't know. Originally, I planned to sell the house. This thing has been in the warehouse for many years and has never been opened."

The clues were interrupted. Qiu Ao didn't know if this was the priest's plan.

What should I do next?
Certainly not passively waiting.

"Do you know anyone from the police station?"

"...Inspector John?"

"Make an appointment to meet up."

…………

In the coffee shop, John and Qiu Ao sat opposite each other, while the old man went to the hospital.

"I heard from Kenny that you have something to do with me."

"Yes." Qiu Ao took a sip of the coffee, which was bitter but refreshing.

"What's the matter?"

"Let's drink coffee first. If you have anything to say, it's not in a hurry. What would the inspector drink?"

"I'll just drink ice water."

"Waiter, a glass of ice water, a glass of lemon juice with ice, thank you."

Inspector John was not young either, maybe a little smaller than the old man, that is, Kenny. He was very broad, but because of his short stature, he looked very fat.

Wearing a wedding ring on his hand, he was dressed in gray casual clothes, with no extra decorations or accessories on his body.

"Thank you."

Because ordering is simple, it's served quickly.

Qiu Ao picked up the cup and twirled it in his hand: "Did the police station receive a call for a missing child recently?"

John didn't speak, but his lazy eyes seemed to be sharper after Qiu Ao finished speaking, scanning Qiu Ao up and down.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Detective John's reaction was not what Qiu Ao expected. He is not someone who can get what he wants without opening his mouth, but he obviously won't be this kind of person.

"This watch seems to have frequent problems recently. I hope that the inspector can find a watchmaker with good skills to repair it for me when he has time."

Qiu Ao took off the watch in his hand, put it on the table and nodded. This watch belonged to him in the real world, and it was very expensive.

His method, I have to say, is very vulgar and old-fashioned, but it is also effective.

For this kind of old man who is already a few decades older, he must either go further and have more power, or have enough money in his hand, otherwise everything he says to them is empty.

"is it?"

Detective John picked up the watch and stroked it carefully, while saying, "Can such a delicate watch go wrong?"

"After all, it is a machine, and there will always be something wrong. Please trouble the inspector."

"Then I have time to help you take a look?"

"Thank you Inspector."

"You're welcome. If you really thank me, you'll have time to visit Flynn Street. I don't know why recently. I've received a lot of calls from there to help maintain law and order. It's much better than what you said."

John put the watch back on the table, and vomited bitterness to Qiu Ao, with a tired look of enjoying the bitterness.

"The detective is willing to help me with such a small thing as repairing the watch. I am happy to do a little favor for the detective. Cheers."

"cheers."

The two glasses collided, some of the ice water and lemon juice splashed out, and Qiu Ao drank it all in one gulp: "I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother the inspector any more."

"be careful."

Qiu Ao didn't pay the bill, but so what, the value of that watch is enough.

…………

Outside, Qiu Ao looked back at the coffee shop again, just in time to see John playing with his watch.

He had nothing to be reluctant about, and he didn't care about it. After the exchange, both parties got what they wanted, and there was nothing wrong with a win-win situation.

Next, it's time to harvest it yourself.

Fulin Street, Qiu Ao is already very familiar with this place, because the house he lives in is on this street.

Since it happened here, it means that the person wearing Klein's skin has a high probability of being a resident of this neighborhood. As long as you pay attention, it won't be too difficult to find out the news.

"Hey, Claire."

After strolling around outside and returning home, Qiu Ao had an in-depth communication with a parent whose child was missing, and added the contact information of the other two parents.

At the door, I saw Claire wandering around.

"What are you doing?"

"Um... nothing, nothing."

Claire opened her mouth a few times, with a very reluctant expression. Judging from the whitish finger bones after she gripped the phone tightly, she was very conflicted.

"It's so hot outside, come in and talk."

"OK, thanks."

"Drink a glass of water."

"Qiu, I do have a question for you."

"I know, you say."

"...You have been chasing Klein for so long, do you know how to take off Klein's skin?"
