Chapter 64 – Inquire


“Boss, can you help me weld this thing? Just weld it shut, it doesn’t matter if it’s rough.”

Yang Jian parked his car in front of an aluminum alloy door and window shop that hadn’t closed yet and had the boss weld the golden box shut.

As the boss used the electric welder, he saw crimson blood stains emerge as the gold foil melted.

“What is this thing? Why is it bleeding?” The boss was also surprised.

“It’s chicken blood, used to ward off evil spirits.” Yang Jian casually made up a lie.

“I see.”

The boss didn’t ask any more questions, as long as there was money to be made.

“Sure enough, if it’s not welded shut, the power of this ghost will seep out… luckily there’s ghost blood left by Yan Li to suppress it, but this kind of suppression seems to be temporary. Once this fresh blood runs out, this ghost will definitely run out again. Only by welding the gap shut can it be done once and for all.” Yang Jian thought to himself.

He was cautious and immediately came to weld this box shut.

If he delayed even a little, he was afraid that this ghost would escape for nothing.

After paying and retrieving the box, Yang Jian returned to his car.

“What is this? It’s so important, it looks like gold…” Jiang Yan asked curiously.

“Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t. This thing is very important to me.” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan was a smart woman, and when she saw how serious Yang Jian was, she wisely didn’t ask any more questions.

Soon, the car drove into a residential area.

“Come in, don’t be polite. This is my rented bachelor apartment, usually I’m the only one living here. You can stay here for a few days if you want.” Jiang Yan said.

“I won’t stay too long, I’ll be leaving in a few days… also, keep my business a secret. It’s not good for you to talk about it.” Yang Jian said seriously.

He was mainly afraid that Jiang Yan would leak the news of the golden box.

At the moment, this thing was the most precious.

“I’m going to take a shower, you can take care of yourself.” Yang Jian said.

“?” Jiang Yan was stunned.

Shouldn’t I be the one saying that?

“Can I borrow your car? I’m going out to buy something, I haven’t had dinner yet.” Jiang Yan said.

“Sure, I’m a little hungry too. Just bring me some egg fried rice.” Yang Jian said.

“Okay, you take your time in the shower, I’ll be back soon.” Jiang Yan giggled and left with the car keys.

Yang Jian watched the woman leave and thought for a moment. He felt that she wasn’t a bad person to have around for a while, and he had confirmed that she wasn’t a ghost.

If there was someone who could take care of his life, he could be a little more at ease.

Of course, as an invisible exchange, he had to take responsibility for Jiang Yan’s safety, at least during the time they lived together.

“By the way, if gold can restrain ghosts, then the demand for gold will increase for all countries, and the price of gold will continue to rise… Yan Li seemed to have mentioned before that the price of gold has been rising rapidly recently. I now have over ten million in cash that I don’t need to use for the time being. I can try to speculate on gold. I don’t expect to make a lot of money, but if I can get one or two million, that would be good.””Well, we can ask Jiang Yan about this later. She’s an accountant and should understand financial knowledge.”

While taking a shower, Yang Jian looked at the golden box that had been welded shut and began to consider his next steps and plans.

“Contacting the buyer through Yan Li will take some time, but he mentioned a club that only demon tamers can join. It’s necessary to ask about it.”

“But the International Criminal Police seems to be even more complicated than I thought… Besides putting the method to restrain the revival of demons as the top priority, the second objective is to confirm my position and identity.”

“Should I become a free demon tamer and join that club, or willingly be recruited to become an International Criminal Police officer?”

Yang Jian’s gaze flickered. “This step is also crucial, but the specific choice depends on the risks and benefits of each option. Only by understanding the situation and comparing them can the correct decision be made.”

After thinking for a moment, he called the Asian division.

The operator was still Liu Xiaoyu.

“Hello, is this Yang Jian?” Liu Xiaoyu’s voice was a bit muffled, as if she was eating something.

“It’s me,” Yang Jian replied.

“I received your action report today. The police department in the Dachang district said you encountered a supernatural event at the Furen Mall… How’s the situation?”

While flipping through the case records, Liu Xiaoyu asked, “Did a new demon appear?”

“Your intelligence is still quite fast. You received the news in less than two hours,” Yang Jian said.

“That’s because someone reported it. The police department’s data files will be uploaded first. Also, that person who accused you of extortion, Li Ming, yes, the manager of the Furen Mall. The police department has confirmed that he falsely accused you, and he has been sentenced to six months in jail for voluntarily withdrawing the case and admitting his mistake. Do you have any objections?” Liu Xiaoyu said.

“I’m not an International Criminal Police officer yet, so what objections could I have? I’ve already resolved the supernatural event. You don’t need to worry about it. The reason I called you this time was mainly to understand what kind of existence the International Criminal Police is.”

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaoyu replied, “As far as my conclusion is concerned, the Criminal Police mainly maintains local security as a special police force… They have the right to mobilize all police forces within their jurisdiction and can apply for military assistance when necessary. They have a high degree of operational freedom, but must operate within the city and be responsible for handling supernatural events in one city.”

“Is that all?”

“You want to ask about the benefits, right?” Liu Xiaoyu said. “The benefits of International Criminal Police officers vary across the country. Taking the Asian division as an example, in addition to job benefits, there is also a dispatch subsidy. A supernatural event is… one million yuan. The original subsidy was twenty thousand yuan, but the new standard is one million yuan. In addition, there is also the right to use one hundred kilograms of gold. If a demon is successfully captured and contained, in addition to a commendation, the country will reward ten million yuan and increase the amount of gold allocated. As for some free housing and family care, that is a local matter, and I won’t go into detail here.”

“What about information?”Yang Jian said, “Fierce ghosts have appeared all over the country. Don’t tell me that other countries haven’t researched and analyzed the existence of ghosts.”

“It’s still in the experimental stage in this area. I don’t know, but what I can be sure of is that once there are any research results, you will be the first to know.”

Yang Jian began to ponder.

Sure enough, his guess was correct. Various countries were researching in this area, but they had not made any breakthrough progress, still in the process of trying… or maybe there were results, but they had not been announced.

But becoming an international criminal police officer was indeed a good welfare, although the money was not much, it was enough to take care of one’s future.

Most importantly, the power and status of an international criminal police officer was very high.

“If I become an international criminal police officer, can I talk about the duties and responsibilities?” Yang Jian asked.

Liu Xiaoyu replied, “If you want to become an international criminal police officer, I can arrange for someone to contact you and let you know everything you want to know. However, to become a formal international criminal police officer, you need to undergo systematic training and mental evaluation, which is not that easy.”

“Especially the mental evaluation is very important. I have asked you about your mental condition several times because in most cases, people who control the power of fierce ghosts will be silently influenced by the fierce ghosts. This influence is irreversible. Some people are severely affected and will experience mental disorders, collapse, and even a trend towards self-destruction.”

“And some people cannot bear great mental pressure, leading to schizophrenia, starting to give up on themselves, and becoming a complete lunatic.”

“Are you saying that most ghost riders are mentally abnormal?” Yang Jian frowned.

Liu Xiaoyu replied, “No, you can’t see them as abnormal. Maybe in their eyes, we are abnormal. They are just influenced by fierce ghosts. Can you understand that? They don’t even know that they will become like this.”

“In addition, the chat records between you and me will be sent to a dedicated analyst for analysis and evaluation of your mental state. It is worth affirming that your mental condition is very good, and the degree to which you are influenced by fierce ghosts is not significant. So I hope you can become a police officer and serve the country.”

“Let me think about this. Well, let’s end our conversation here today. I’ll contact you next time.”

After Yang Jian finished asking, he hung up the phone.

When Liu Xiaoyu heard Yang Jian hang up the phone, she stopped taking notes and frowned.

“Liu Xiaoyu, how is this Yang Jian doing? He is a potential seedling. Don’t give up on him. Follow him closely. He has only been a ghost rider for a short time and has already successfully solved a supernatural event. I read the report, it was very good. He managed to capture a restricted-level ghost within half an hour, which even experienced old police officers couldn’t do.”

“Although it was due to his cooperation with a ghost rider named Yan Li, we can’t deny his credit.”

Captain Zhao Jianguo walked over with several photos in his hand, all taken from surveillance cameras. One of them was a photo of Yang Jian getting off the car and welding the golden box.

“Captain, he has already contacted other ghost riders. I’m afraid he has already developed a wavering attitude and may not be able to join the police smoothly.” Liu Xiaoyu said.”But does he also dislike the police? After all, his life was saved by Zhou Zheng. He has a good impression of the police. I can feel that if it were someone else, they would curse and insult the police. Some even wanted to strangle the operator through the phone line. The frightened operator hung up the call.” Zhao Jianguo laughed.

Liu Xiaoyu said, “Captain is right. I will definitely capture this Yang Jian and make him join the International Criminal Police Organization.”

“Pay attention to the degree, especially his mental state. After all, the mental pressure of becoming a ghost tamer is very huge. When he knows that he is about to die, he is very likely to go down the wrong path. You can’t use the way of oppression to make Yang Jian obey. You should start with mutually beneficial cooperation. This is already very good.”

“He is not a police officer, but he has solved a supernatural event for the country. If he does not pose any threat, your cooperative relationship can be maintained until he is willing to join the International Criminal Police Organization.” Zhao Jianguo said.
