三级a午夜

“What’s wrong? Tell me what happened, I will help you if I can.” Wu Heng said directly.

“My son is missing, he left the day before yesterday and hasn’t come back since. We’ve looked everywhere he usually goes, and some other children have said they saw a man with a full beard and a red mark behind his ear take him away.” The woman spoke quickly, her words somewhat scrambled from her panic.

But he understood the gist of it.

Someone had kidnapped a child.

Due to the squad of professionals, Wu Heng was no longer as cautious as he had initially been, but that did not mean that the security in the crowded area had improved.

The crowded area was still chaotic, fights, robbery, and theft were frequent occurrences.

However, now that he had gained some power, such incidents rarely happened to him.

National professionals, without a good security system, had left this place still in chaos.

“Where are the patrol guards?”

“The patrol guards approached me today and said that they found the man, he was wanted by the city hall and was killed during the arrest. There has been no information about my son since.”

“How do you want me to help you?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

The woman gingerly took out a money pouch and pushed it across the table, saying, “Can you help me gather some information and see if I can find my son? Even if we can’t find him, knowing whether he’s alive or dead would suffice.”

Wu Heng glanced at the money pouch on the table and pushed it back, “I can help ask around, but I can’t guarantee anything. Keep your money for now. We’ll discuss it when there’s news.”

“Thankyou so much.” The woman rose and bowed again.

Wu Heng nodded, “You should go home first. If I hear anything, I will let Mr. Ludger know and he will contact you.”

“Okay.” The woman thanked him repeatedly and left the room with the landlord.

After giving it some thought, Wu Heng also tidied up his things and went out with Basen.

Frankly, he didn’t really want to get tangled up in this. After all, such matters could easily lead to troubles and dangers for him.

But seeing things happen right before his eyes, he couldn’t really stay indifferent.

At least for this matter, he should try to see what he could do.

In the central area, next to the flower bed in front of the Association’s entrance.

Yuli, with a small bag slung over her shoulder, hurried over.

She frowned at him, “You needed me for something?”

“Brought you some snacks.” Wu Heng took out some treats and handed them to her.

Yuli’s face lit up before she eyed him warily, “What do you want? If you don’t make it clear, I won’t accept them,” she said, licking her lips.

Wu Heng glanced around, then whispered, “Actually, I do have a favor to ask, I need a partner.”

“What do you mean by partner!”

“Let me explain. Today, my landlord, the one who told you about kicking the door, brought someone to ask for my help in an investigation…”

Wu Heng roughly explained the situation and continued, “You know me well, I’m good in combat, but investigating cases isn’t my strong suit. From all the people I know, you seem to be the most fit for it.”

Yuli took some chips, munching on them as she asked, “What is it that you’re saying?”

“Let’s investigate this together.”

“Alright, how shall we proceed?” Yuli agreed readily.

Wu Heng leaned in closer and asked, “Is there a way to get into the guard’s morgue?”

“Why would we go into the morgue?”

“Of course, it’s a matter of great importance, just tell me whether we can do it!”

“Break into it? I can transform into a bear and barrel in, you follow behind and knock everyone out.” Yuli said bluntly.

Wu Heng was at a loss.

If that was the plan, he could have just put on a mask and stormed in himself.

“Do we have any other way? A way that won’t land us in trouble afterwards.” Wu Heng said as he took out a box of yogurt, stuck a straw into it and handed it to her, “Have a sip, it’ll help clear your mind.”

“Hmm…” Yuli took a sip, then turned her head away and suggested, “How about I steal a Search Warrant from my aunt?”

“Ah! Good idea, I must say you’re really smart.” Wu Heng immediately agreed.

“Alright, wait for me,” Yuli said as she turned around and ran off.

Before long, Yuli ran back.

She patted her bag, indicating for him to hurry up.

Wu Heng nodded, and the two of them quickly left side by side.

The Guard’s Corps, the morgue.

Yuli stood at the front, a document in her hand, saying, “This is stamped by the association. We need to inspect the body inside.”

Two guards at the entrance looked at the two of them and at the strange man with a round helmet behind them.

“What are you investigating? Why haven’t we received any news?” one of the guards asked.

“What do you care what I’m looking into? Can you catch criminals or conduct investigations?” Yuli shot back immediately.

The guards didn’t expect the young lady to have such a temper.

They gave the document another look and said, “Alright, go in.”

After all, they were only a couple of bodies. Who would steal them?

Yuli strutted in with her chest out, Wu Heng and Basen trailing behind her.

They entered the cold hallway and walked some distance before they got to the place where the corpses were stored.

In a closed space made of bluestone bricks, there were a few iron beds, each covered with a linen cloth underneath which lay a corpse.

“Which one is it?” Yuli asked.

“Big beard, there’s a red mark behind the ear.”

“Oh oh!”

The two of them and a skeleton started to check each one in turn.

“Over here, come quickly!”

Wu Heng strode over and saw the corpse lying on the wooden bed.

Big beard, there was a mark behind the ear.

“Is it him?”

“It should be him.”

“How do you plan to investigate? Do you want to perform an autopsy?”

“I have a way. Stand behind me,” Wu Heng said.

Yuli stood behind him.

Wu Heng immediately cast [Communicate with the Dead], and necromancy enveloped the body in front of him.

The next second, the pale corpse suddenly opened its eyes and sat up straight.

Yuli was startled and clung onto his arm.

Wu Heng looked at the corpse and asked directly: “Where did you take the child you stole?”

The corpse turned its head towards them and said: “I sold them to a human trafficker, each for a hundred silver coins.”

“Who is the human trafficker?”

“I don’t know. He always covers his face when we meet. I just collect the money and don’t bother with the rest.”

“How do you guys get in touch?”

The corpse answered, “Every time I catch someone, I will sit in the bar for a while, and he’ll send someone to give me the location where we’ll meet.” “Which bar?”

“Red-faced Mermaid.”

One last question.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then continued to ask: “Does he have any distinguishing features, or how do you know the person is the one you’re doing business with?”

“He speaks with a southern dialect and smells of smoke.”

After speaking, the corpse fell back onto the iron rack with a bang.

Not moving, not exhibiting any signs of life.

The corpse looked even more withered than before.

But no other peculiarities presented themselves.

“What’s happened to him?” Yuli pointed and asked.

Wu Heng said, “It’s a kind of necromancy that allows the dead to answer questions.”

“You can do that?”

“Yes! Let’s go. We’ll head out first.”

When they left the morgue, the guard stopped them again.

“Wait a moment!”

“What?!” Yuli shot back, hands on hips, glaring at him.

The guard glanced at his companion and said, “You keep an eye on them. I’m going to take a look inside.”

After speaking, he turned around and left.

He quickly returned, “Alright, there’s no issue, you can leave.”

“Hmph!” Yuli snorted, and the two of them with a skeleton walked off into the distance.

Once they were far away, Yuli asked again, “How are we going to investigate next?”

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “It’s not entirely without leads. The person has a southern dialect and smells of smoke.”

“Oh, then what? How to find this person?”

“You check with the vice-executive to see if he knows this person. I will go to the bar for an inquiry. We’ll split up and regroup at my house for dinner.” “Okay!”

The two of them split up in the central area and carried out their plans.

The Red-faced Mermaid Bar.

At this time, there wasn’t much of a crowd in the bar. It was quiet, with the barkeeper still cleaning up.

Only after sundown would the place liven up.

Wu Heng pushed the door open to enter and sat down in a corner.

The woman carrying a tray walked over. When she saw his face, she turned to leave.

It was the server he had met before, Bella.

Wu Heng directly said, “Two Cloudy Cocktails.”

He took out two silver coins and handed them to her.

The woman looked skeptical, hesitated for a moment but eventually took the money and left to prepare the drinks.

Soon, the woman came over with the drinks.

“Sir, your cocktails.”

Wu Heng nodded. As he saw her leaving, he immediately said, “Wait, keep me company for a little chat.”

“Sir, Ihave work to do.”

“Have a drink. You don’t want us to have a standoff here, attracting the attention of others, right?”
