Chapter 313 Investigation
The two chatted for a long time, and the butler finally called and said, "The situation is true. The answer given to me by the investigation organization is that when they accepted your commission to conduct the investigation, they found several people who had been missing for several years. They will not tell us the information until the investigation is complete."

Steward: "My personal opinion on this matter is that we should conduct our own investigation. At present, it is not ruled out that Liu Sheng was forced to go to Kyoto for transformation because of Zhang Ya. Assuming that Liu Sheng was completely voluntary, then this matter has nothing to do with us. Shui Yao, Yue Yao, the two-headed dog and the four-headed dog will be in charge of the investigation. Before that, I will seek the opinions of all members."

Cui Jian said: "I agree."

Shengzi replied: "I agree."

"Okay, wait for my news."

……

Zhang Ya is a quasi-first-tier star in South Korea, but she is considered a top Hallyu star in many Asian countries. As a star, she needs constant exposure. After a day of filming a variety show, her agent sent her home. The villa servant had received a call in advance and prepared the bath water.

Zhang Ya went to the bedroom on the second floor, closed the door, and walked through the living room into the bedroom. She was so exhausted that she immediately lay down on the bed and didn't want to move at all. After about five minutes, Zhang Ya struggled to sit up, and Cui Jian appeared in front of her.

Cui Jian, wearing a full set of Seven Kills costume, was holding a silenced pistol in his right hand and was looking at the photos on the wall with his back to her. They were all group photos, photos of her with others at every stage of her acting career, including her trainee stage.

Zhang Ya suppressed her fear, took a deep breath, and stood up slowly, afraid of making any noise. She tried to stretch her left foot toward the bedroom door. Cui Jian, who had his back to Zhang Ya, raised his pistol and moved with her movements. Zhang Ya didn't dare to move, so she could only cover her mouth tightly, tears falling down.

"Please sit down." Cui Jian said as he was trying to find Liu Sheng among the photos on the wall.

Zhang Ya sat down, and Cui Jian dropped the gun in his hand. After looking at the group photo for a while, Cui Jian asked, "Are they all here?"

Zhang Ya replied: "Yes."

Cui Jian turned around, gave up the makeup chair that was closer to Zhang Ya, and walked to a chair that was a little further away and sat down. He said, "I ask questions, you answer. If you lie, you will die. Do you understand?"

Zhang Ya nodded repeatedly.

Cui Jian asked: "When was the last time you saw Liu Sheng?"

Zhang Ya was stunned: "Liu Sheng?"

Cui Jian asked back: "Don't you remember?"

Zhang Ya shook her head and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Cui Jian pointed the gun at Zhang Ya's head. Zhang Ya said hurriedly, "Let me think about it. Two years ago, I saw him outside a senior's concert."

Cui Jian put down his gun and asked: "Why didn't you contact me later?"

Zhang Ya replied: "Two years ago, I asked my agent to send Liu Sheng a watch to wish him a happy birthday. I would do this every year. But he refused to accept it that year. My agent said that Liu Sheng's fiancée talked to her and said that Liu Sheng still had me in his heart and that his fiancée just wanted to live an ordinary life. She hoped that I would not bother him again in the future and that his fiancée would promise to take good care of him."

Cui Jian asked: "You have no contact since then?"

Zhang Ya was silent for a moment. "No, not really. We were in love before. The first time we held hands was on a hillside with rapeseed flowers. He almost fell because of his bad legs. I supported him and led him to the middle of the hillside. He unfolded his drawing board and drew a picture for me. After we broke up, he often went to the hillside to paint. I knew this, so every year on that day I would go to the hillside and watch him from afar."

What kind of love story is this? Cui Jian interrupted: "From half a year ago to now, have there been any suspicious people around you?"

Zhang Ya replied: "As a star, it's normal for there to be suspicious people around you."

Cui Jian asked: "Does your phone have any information about Liu Sheng stored on it, including chats on social media, phone numbers, etc. By the way, half a year ago, he had a new online name, Tianqian."

Zhang Ya was stunned and said, "Tianqian, I know. But he is of Indonesian Korean descent. How could he be Liu Sheng?"

Cui Jian asked: "How did Tianqian contact you?"

Zhang Ya replied: "He is my Indonesian fan who spent a lot of money to become one of my top 50 fans. My agent pulled them into a group, shared my schedule and activities, and took one to five photos every day and posted them in the group. I would go to the group to communicate with them every month. I don't have a deep impression of Tian Qian. I just know that he is in the group but never speaks. Is he really Liu Sheng?"

The two-headed dog's voice came from the headset: "This guy got a new identity and disappeared. The enemy knew he was Zhang Ya's licker, so they targeted Zhang Ya and tried to find him again."

Cui Jian responded: "What did he do wrong? He just wanted to watch his lover type a few words. Sorry, I'm not talking to you."

Two-headed dog: "You are fine over there, kill it."

Cui Jian rolled his eyes with his heart and stood up: "Thank you for your cooperation. Well, by the way, I personally don't mind you calling the police, but if you call the police, you will definitely get into trouble, so you can handle it yourself."

After saying that, Cui Jian left.

"Wait." Zhang Ya asked, "Is he okay?"

Cui Jian replied: "Not very good."

Zhang Ya asked: "Then he..." She didn't know what to ask.

Cui Jian turned around and replied: "It has nothing to do with you anymore. Goodbye."

Cui Jian went downstairs and waited for a while at the stairs. Shengzi told him that he could pass. Cui Jian walked out of the main door, pressed the door lock when passing the living room, left through the small iron door in the villa's iron gate, and got into Shengzi's car.

The two-headed dog said, "It is almost certain that Zhang Ya did not actively cooperate in coercing Liu Sheng. She herself was not aware of it. Next."

……

Bai Qi was a little tired after landing from the European flight. In the past few months, as Xue Bing's manager, he spent most of his time in Europe handling affairs. In fact, he was not needed to handle it. He was just an avatar of Xue Bing. When there was a need for signature and consent, he could sign on behalf of Xue Bing with the power of attorney.

He got into the car sent by the villa to pick him up. The car drove 300 meters and stopped. Cui Jian, wearing a seven-kill suit, squeezed into the back seat with a pistol. Bai Qi had just passed customs and it was impossible for him to hide any weapons. Seeing the inverted cross and the pistol, Bai Qi did not resist, but thought in his mind that the tripartite cooperation was going smoothly. What happened?

Two weeks ago, Qi Sha provided Bai Qi with Yue Yao and a video about Yue Yao. Yue Yao faced the camera and admitted to the numerous crimes he had committed in the past decade, with more than 300 victims, and included many details of the cases. If you were not an eyewitness, you would not be able to make it up.

Bai Qi's confidant who received the gift also filmed a video of Yue Yao's execution. Bai Qi spent a week sorting out the materials involved in more than a dozen cases, including evidence and information held by the police, and after summarizing them, he confirmed that Yue Yao was the real Yue Yao.

Bai Qi submitted all the materials to the Nemo Standing Committee two days ago. After the materials were released, all the people in Nemo were shocked and praised the execution team. The Standing Committee gave the execution team an additional 15% of its annual funding.

Facing a cunning person like Bai Qi, Cui Jian did not say anything. Instead, he took out a mobile phone and connected it to the car speaker, saying, "Hello, Mr. Bai Qi, I am Hellhound."

Bai Qi calmly asked, "Where's my driver?"

Shui Yao, who was driving, wearing a large mask and a driver's hat, answered: "The trunk."

Bai Qi sighed. With two Seven Killers, there was basically no room for resistance. Bai Qi asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The two-headed dog said, "I want to ask about Liu Sheng."

Bai Qi was a little surprised: "Liu Sheng? I remember he has left Qi Sha."

The two-headed dog said: "Thank you for reminding us. We are aware of this."

Bai Qi thought for a while: "The execution team was not strong at that time, so the special service team did the work of the execution team and found Liu Sheng, who was closely related to Jin Yao, from some clues. During the detention and interrogation, a group of people attacked the safe house and took Liu Sheng away." The two-headed dog said: "Mr. Bai, we want to know the story of Tianqian."

Bai Qi smiled: "Haha, Liu Sheng is a lovesick man, and I firmly believe that a dog will never change its nature. We didn't spend much energy and time. We just monitored Zhang Ya's mobile phone and quickly locked onto Tian Qian. We induced Zhang Ya to say some sad words, hoping that her old friends would attend her fan meeting. We caught Liu Sheng at the fan meeting. But don't worry, he didn't betray you no matter it was drugs or torture." Liu Sheng said a lot of information, but it was impossible to check.

Bai Qi asked: Tell me the real name of Qi Sha.

Liu Sheng: Ding Yi.

Bai Qi: What does he do?

Liu Sheng: Fisherman.

A few days later, Bai Qi: There is no fisherman named Ding Yi.

Liu Sheng: Oh.

Bai Qi: Call me.

Liu Sheng: When you called me, I had already compiled the next name for you.

Liu Sheng adopted the strategy of asking and answering questions, regardless of whether they were true or false. He even started to name people in the circle that he knew, such as Li Ran, Duanmu, Baili Xiong, Cui Jian, Ai Li, etc., and gave nearly two hundred names.

The two-headed dog said: "Mr. Bai, you should know why we are looking for you."

Bai Qi said, "I am only the chief steward of the Xue family. I know Liu Sheng was imprisoned in the Xue family dungeon, but it has nothing to do with me. It was under the care of Feidi's people. He was imprisoned for about three months, and then he left the dungeon and left the Xue family in the same car with Feidi. I have not heard from him since then."

Two-Headed Dog: "You should know better."

Bai Qi recalled for a while and said, "When I sent Liu Sheng away, I overheard Fei Di talking to Liu Sheng. After Liu Sheng left the dungeon, he will rest for a few days in the residence provided by Fei Di, and then go to Kyoto to contact a woman named Xiaodao Xing."

Two-headed dog: "What is Liu Sheng's attitude?"

Bai Qi replied: "He said yes without any emotion. According to my own speculation, Liu Sheng and Feidi seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. This speculation comes from some fragmentary information that Feidi and Xue Bing occasionally talked about. Xue Bing didn't know that anyone was imprisoned in the dungeon. She thought the dungeon was just a shelter."

The two-headed dog asked a lot of questions, and Bai Qi was quite cooperative and answered them one by one. Half an hour later, Cui Jian and Shui Yao left the car and got into Shengzi's car. Bai Qi was very calm, smoking a cigarette outside the car, and then waiting for ten minutes before opening the trunk to let the driver out, giving the driver a stack of US dollars and asking the driver to forget what happened today.

Inside Shengzi's car, the two-headed dog's voice came: "Bai Qi protects Xue Bing."

Cui Jian asked: "Is it related to the investigation?"

Two-headed dog: "You idiot, of course. We can divide Bai Qi's answer into two parts, one part is related to Xue Bing, and the other part is not related to Xue Bing. In order to distance Xue Bing from the matter, Bai Qi will tell the truth in the part that has nothing to do with Xue Bing. Bai Qi said that he inferred from the conversation between Feidi and Xue Bing that Liu Sheng and Feidi reached an agreement. It can be translated as Xue Bing may know about Liu Sheng's existence, Liu Sheng did reach an agreement with Feidi, and Liu Sheng went to Kyoto voluntarily."

Shui Yao interrupted and said, "It is possible that Feidi used the means of coercing Zhang Ya to force Liu Sheng to go to Kyoto."

The two-headed dog replied, "It seems possible, but judging from the information Bai Qi told me, Zhang Ya is not the main reason for their cooperation. Bai Qi has been alerted, so it is not a good idea to start with Xue Bing for the time being. There has been no news about Fidi recently, so I guess she is helping Luke do some dirty work."

Cui Jian asked: "What's next?"

The two-headed dog said, "Xiaodao Xing, Bai Qi specifically gave this name. I guess he wants us to skip the stage of investigating Xue Bing and go straight to Xiaodao Xing."

Cui Jian: “It seems to make sense.”

The two-headed dog said, "Now tell me, does Bai Qi's protection of Xue Bing have anything to do with the investigation?"

Cui Jian ignored him and said, "I have a chance to go on a business trip to Kyoto next week."

The two-headed dog said, "Let the four-headed dog go with you. She is a local."

Shengzi was about to cry but couldn't. "Actually, I'm not that local anymore."

The two-headed dog said, "You are the most local among all of you. Shui Yao."

Shui Yao: "I'm here."

Two-headed dog: "There is an auxiliary target hiding in Hancheng, a very marginal target. I originally intended to leave this target for Yueyao to clear his suspicion. Now is a good opportunity. Your task is to kill the auxiliary target while using your height, body shape, and professional skills to confuse those who are interested." When bodyguard Cui was killing people everywhere, the two-headed dog had already planted this chess piece.

Shui Yao: “OK.”

Cui Jian asked: "How will Xiaodao Xing deal with it?"

The two-headed dog asked, "Besides drawing your gun, do you have any other means of dealing with this?"

Cui Jian couldn't catch his breath.

Shengzi whispered to comfort him: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. He won't pay for it if he makes you die of anger."

Two-headed dog: "Catch her, torture her, and make her talk to me."

Shengzi said: "I have a small opinion."

Two-headed dog: "Please speak."

Shengzi said: "I think Feidi deliberately made Liu Sheng a human-shaped dog. He must have some ulterior motive."

The two-headed dog replied, "Yes, that's what I'm worried about. Xingfu Company released Liu Sheng in the second auction, which means that everything that should be prepared is ready. We are now like the chess pieces that have been set, and we are starting to move according to the trajectory of the chess player."

The two-headed dog said, "To break the conspiracy, we must take it by surprise. Four-headed dog, you have an important mission when you return to Japan this time. Find a way to find Luke or Fidi. To be reasonable, the two of them are not the targets of the Seven Killers. To be unreasonable, they are directly or indirectly involved in the action of harming Liu Sheng. As for whether to be reasonable or not, it depends on whether we can get rid of them."

Shengzi wanted to cry, she was really not from here.

This is a typical two-headed dog style. He is not bound by faith and purpose. Qi Sha is not an investigation agency. Based on the information currently available, they can subjectively infer that it was Feidi and Luke who harmed Liu Sheng. As for their explanation? I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen.

Core: I wanted to kill you anyway, but I just lacked an excuse and an opportunity.

Cui Jian did not say anything about this. After all, this matter must be related to Fidi and Luke. Strictly speaking, it is still unclear whether Liu Sheng was willing. If Liu Sheng was willing, Qi Sha should not intervene in this matter. The two-headed dog meant: Before we find out whether Liu Sheng was willing, we should kill him first.

There was one thing that Cui Jian, the housekeeper and others were all kept in the dark. After sending Zheng Yu away, the man in straw raincoat Duanmu secretly contacted the two-headed dog and provided a list of supplies that Qi Sha could not refuse. There was only one condition, to use Qi Sha to get rid of Luke. In the many collaborations between the man in straw raincoat and Qi Sha, he had discovered that the two-headed dog was a core member of Qi Sha who could be negotiated with, and the two-headed dog also had a lot of say.

Although the legendary sword butterfly old butler did not object, he did not support Duanmu's infiltration of Qi Sha. He believed that the value of Qi Sha lies in faith. One possibility is that the two-headed dog has the right to speak for Qi Sha, and Qi Sha has deteriorated and lost its value. The value of Qi Sha is the property of the raincoat guest, otherwise the raincoat guest would not need to help Qi Sha dig out the inner ghost planted in Qi Sha by Bing Spike.

There is another possibility, Duanmu cannot defeat the two-headed dog.
