Soul Master Manual

Chapter 20 Helong Mine
The name of the deceased was Yang Jiande, 34 years old.

He is a small foreman in the mining team of Helong Mine. There are about a dozen people under him, and he is barely considered to have a small status in the mining team.

Five days ago, on the night of July 7, he died mysteriously at home.

His whole body was burnt into charcoal, and he was suspected of being burned to death.

But most importantly, there was no trace of burning in his home, even on the ground where the man fell when he died.

According to the description of Yang Jiande's wife.

She went out for a walk after dinner, and when she came back, she found that her husband had become like that. She was in a panic for a while, and it was the neighbor next to him who helped him call the Public Security Bureau.

Li Changan once again scanned the B32 document from beginning to end.

If nothing else, this is definitely caused by the power of the spirit beast.

Whoosh whoosh—

Hearing the movement from the forest, and the swift figures of Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding, Li Changan couldn't help but smile.

Continue to look down at the file.

"The case that happened five days ago, if I were the suspect, I would have escaped long ago. This is probably the reason why there was no follow-up and the matter was suppressed so easily."

There were no apparent leads and so many days had passed in the case.

"It's no wonder Ran Jianyu said there's no rush, so he can take his time. If my guess is right"

From the moment he entered the Public Security Bureau, it was Ran Jianyu's test for him.

Test whether you really have the ability to be a member of the action group.

in case.

He couldn't deal with the situation in the Public Security Bureau, and he couldn't grasp the initiative, which meant that he was not good enough to take on the responsibilities of the action team.

"That's why Ran Jianyu allowed me to learn more about the history in the Quiet Society's library. This is to allow me to work in the Quiet Society as a researcher specializing in history if I fail to pass this test."

Simultaneously.

"It's no wonder that the fat man who was in charge of the case didn't seem to pay much attention to the case, and asked Cao Xinsheng."

In other words, the test for him is actually over.

Case investigation is not that important.

After understanding the deep meaning, Li Changan reluctantly threw the document aside and stretched long.

Maybe Ran Jianyu already knew about his performance in the Public Security Bureau yesterday.

You shouldn't have disappointed her, and didn't embarrass Jing Mi, right?
Some reluctantly pulled the corners of their mouths.

"I just said, it's not logical to let me, a 'hina' who just joined and just became a spirit master, be in charge of investigating the murder case."

Lying on the grass and looking up at the gradually glowing sun, the golden light pierces through the dense forest leaves, leaving golden spots.

"People's hearts are really complicated."

Can't help sighing.

It wasn't until the sun's light moved and a golden speck landed on his slowly closed eyes that Li Changan suddenly sat up.

"No. Anyway, even if I guessed Ran Jianyu's intentions, the investigation that should be carried out still needs to be carried out."

After all, it is about a human life.

Moreover, what if the murderer hadn't left Ningyuan County?

the most important is.

The case involved a spirit beast with the attribute of "abetting". If there was any contact with the black-robed man who abetted him that day, even if it was just in case, he would try to find out as much information as possible.

This is also a matter of his life.

Sitting up, Li Changan patted his cheek, picked up the document again, and read it carefully.

"Auntie, I'm going out for a while."

After training until nine o'clock, Li Changan took the two little guys back to have breakfast.

Four hours of training in the morning is about the same, and the rest of the training content will be handed over to the evening.

Training also pays attention to a combination of work and rest.

"Are you coming back for lunch?" Aunt Zhao Lijuan came out of the kitchen.

"It's hard to say." Li Changan shook his head.

"Then wait a minute."

As she spoke, she walked quickly back to the kitchen.

When he came out again, he took a lunch box in his hand and stuffed it into Li Changan's hand.

"It's the tofu left over from your uncle yesterday. I fried it with some meat. You take it with you. If you're hungry, eat some." Zhao Lijuan said.

Li Changan looked down at the iron box in his hand.

"Tofu sandwich?"

When I was a child, the conditions at home were not good.

He and Lu Chan went to school with one such lunch box each.

Filled with tofu sandwiches for lunch.

At that time, it wasn't even meat in it, but some vegetables grown at home.

He and Lu Chan had complained more than once before that their farts tasted like tofu.

But seeing this lunch box and the tofu clips in it now, Li Changan felt a little nostalgic for no reason.

Zhao Lijuan rubbed her pants at a loss. She also knew that Li Changan and Lu Chan didn't like to eat this, so she said awkwardly, "Changan, at home"

"I've wanted this bite for a long time!"

Li Changan directly interrupted Zhao Lijuan's words.

Grinning his mouth, he opened the lunch box, and the aroma of well-cooked tofu came to his face.

For some reason, Li Chang'an's nose felt a little sore when he smelled it.

The more I grow up, the more I understand the difficulty of my uncle and aunt.

He quickly adjusted his state and gave Zhao Lijuan a thumbs up.

"It's still delicious made by my aunt."

After finishing speaking, he ran directly towards the door.

If you don't go, you won't be able to hold back.

Seeing Li Changan's leaving back, Zhao Lijuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and rolled her eyes.

"This little brat."

As soon as he went out, Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding appeared stealthily, and climbed onto him in two or three steps.

That posture, as if he wanted to run away from the scene after doing something bad.

"What are you two doing?" Li Changan asked suspiciously.

It's just that Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding didn't answer his question.

And quickly change the subject.

I saw it twitch its nose and its eyes suddenly lit up.

"Meow? Meow!" (There is something delicious!)
delicious?
Xiao Douding directly regarded Li Changan as a tree, and climbed up and down to search for it.

"You two are dogs, right? Such a good nose?"

Regarding this, Li Changan seemed extremely helpless.

But did not continue to ask.

Ningyuan County is not considered a very developed county, but its economic conditions are not bad.

It is because many mining areas, large and small, have been discovered around Ningyuan County.

The Helong Mine is one of the larger ones.

Rumbling--

A huge truck with a load of more than [-] tons slowly passed in front of Li Changan.

A mountain bag that doesn't look very high, but has a huge hole leading to an unknown depth underground, appeared in front of his eyes.

stand right here.

He felt that the whole world had become a little gray.

The dust mixed in the air lingers for a long time.

In this regard, the workers working in the mine seem to have gotten used to it long ago, and they just kept their heads busy.

Trucks that carry ore, crawlers that transport ore, mine cars that carry ore, and excavators that throw away the surrounding impact.

At the same time, Li Changan also noticed.

In addition to the busy workers, there are also some figures of spirit beasts among them.

"Squeak?"

Standing on Li Changan's shoulders, Xiao Douding looked into the distance and stretched out his hands excitedly.

I see.

Not far away, a man wearing a white cap who looked like a foreman was holding an iron cage in his hand, and inside the iron cage was another psychic mouse.

It's just that compared to Xiao Douding, the psychic mouse in the cage looks haggard and thin, and it seems that he is not even in good condition.

This is one of the reasons why psychic mice are called "treasure hunting mice".

Their ability to explore spirituality can largely help mines find precious ores better and faster.

of course.

Not only psychic rats, the mine also has its own professional exploration equipment.

Li Changan silently hugged Xiaodouding into his arms, and rubbed it gently twice.

did not speak.

Put away the two little guys and walk towards the entrance of the mining area.

But before actually entering the mining area, a middle-aged man in the uniform of a mining area worker and a yellow hard hat stopped him.

"Why?"

The guard looked up and down at the young man he had never seen before, his voice was a bit rude.

Li Changan was not surprised by this, he just took out a brand new box of cigarettes from his pocket with a smile, and handed one over.

This was given to him by uncle Lu Yongguo last night.

Although Lu Yongguo was honest and didn't talk much, after all, he had been selling tofu for so many years, so he understood some people's ways of the world.

Sometimes.

Passing a cigarette is more effective than talking.

really.

Seeing the cigarette handed over, the expression of the middle-aged man immediately eased a lot.

"Brother, are we here the Helong Mine?" Li Changan asked immediately.

"Yes."

The middle-aged man glanced at the cigarette brand, it wasn't bad.

Satisfied, he took out the lighter and lit it, took a puff and replied.

"What kind of mine is this?"

"Oh, Black Mine." The middle-aged man waved his hand to disperse the rising smoke.

Ink Mine is one of the rich ores in Ningyuan County.

It can also be regarded as one of the ores with spirituality. The spiritual food, medicine and even some special training equipment and props for spirit beasts of ear spirit beasts will be mixed with some grinding powder.

"Is our ore output good? I see there are so many large trucks transporting it." Li Changan asked again with a smile.

While speaking, he felt movement inside the windbreaker.

Hold down the two little guys.

Put the cigarettes from the inner pocket of the clothes to the outer pocket.

"Meow~~"

"Squeak~~"

The faint voices of Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding came from inside.

Give them a bang on the head.

Little things, why are you so curious about cigarettes?
Cherish life, stay away from cigarettes, understand?
"What sound?" The middle-aged man looked left and right.

"There's no sound." Li Changan said expressionlessly.

"Oh." The middle-aged man exhaled a puff of white smoke, smiled again, and continued the topic just now.

"It's not bad. There are thousands of tons of raw ore produced every day."

The so-called raw ore actually refers to the ore mixed with magazines. It needs to go through several extremely complicated processes to obtain pure black ore.

"That's really amazing." Li Changan said with a thumbs up.

"Who is the boy?"

After chatting for a few words, the chatterbox opened.

"I'm a local."

"Local people? Local people are good."

"That's right. My uncle is Lu Yongguo, and he lives in the East District."

"Lu Yongguo?! Old Lu? The one selling tofu?"

"Brother, do you know him?"

"."

After going back and forth, Li Changan learned a lot of information from him.

Some are useless and irrelevant to the case.

And some are more interesting.

"Ah." The middle-aged man sighed, "Lao Yang is actually pretty good. He often distributes cigarettes to his brothers, and sometimes invites everyone to eat and drink. You said that his family's conditions are actually pretty good, and his income is not bad. Little, why do that?"

While talking, the middle-aged man suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something that shouldn't be said, his complexion suddenly changed, and he closed his mouth.

Li Changan narrowed his eyes.

I made a lot of money, but what did I do?

He seems to know some secrets.

However, Li Changan did not follow the question, but instead asked:

"Old Yang is not bad?"

The middle-aged man was relieved to hear that Li Changan did not go deep into this topic.

Immediately, the middle-aged man showed a somewhat wretched smile, lowered his voice and said:

"It's just that people are more ahem. You know, men. In fact, Lao Yang's wife is very beautiful and virtuous. Lao Yang doesn't know how to cherish it. But, some men just like wild flowers, right?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows at Li Changan.

Hearing this, Li Changan showed a sudden expression.

man.

You know everything.

Passed a cigarette again.

"Well, big brother, can I go in and have a look?" Li Changan asked suddenly.

Hearing this sentence, the expression of the middle-aged man suddenly changed.

He waved his hands again and again, "That won't work, that won't work. Although we hit it off, little brother, work is work, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the mine."

It seems that although he is very talkative, he still has working principles.

Li Changan glanced at the mining area.

If you don't go in, you won't understand many things.

Especially when the doorman slipped his tongue, but said half of what he dared not say.

How to get in?
Just when Li Changan felt troubled.

"Li Changan—"

Suddenly a girl's voice came from afar.

Follow the reputation.

"Gu Li?"
