67: Canal and auction, Director Yang at the door

Seeing a large amount of red liquid in the pipe, Bai Yu sniffed it and noticed a herbal fragrance, not a bloody smell.

It was not an ordinary substance.

'Highly likely.'

Realizing this, Bai Yu quickly took some samples.

He already had a general idea in mind: to have the captain's team use the sewer as a clue to reasonably find the target, rather than conducting a widespread search that might alert them.

'This approach should be fine.'

'After all, in my previous life, even with sewage, they could detect which household it came from. The technology in this world, having been refined through countless cases, is definitely not bad.'

The torrential rain continued without stopping.

Shallow water, over five centimeters deep, had already accumulated on the roadside.

Bai Yu and the Seventh Team members were naturally escorted back to the Investigation Bureau by the two strong practitioners from the Li family.

In the car.

Li Yunbin said, "Such a big incident happened today. For the next few days, let's stay at the Bureau and wait for news. It's also a good opportunity for me to stabilize my strength."

Liu Feifei clenched her small fists and agreed enthusiastically, "Exactly! Exactly! We were supposed to have a holiday today!"

As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and looked at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu could only turn his head, look out the window, and awkwardly rub his nose.

Looking at the heavy rain, he couldn't help but say, "By the way, Captain, this rain is probably closely related to the water vapor the Fishmen guided earlier. It won't stop anytime soon. It might even cause flooding."

"Speaking of which, we'll definitely face various natural disasters like floods in the future. Do we have a solution?"

Li Yunbin thought for a moment and said, "Tianhai City does experience heavy rainfall. The existing drainage facilities should theoretically be sufficient."

"However, for long-term consideration, the Official plans to open a canal on the Qingyun River, connecting to Qingcheng City to the north."

Bai Yu asked, confused, "Qingcheng City?"

"If I remember correctly, it's about 200 kilometers away, with mountains in between, right?"

Li Yunbin nodded, "That's right! It's a huge project, requiring at least 100 billion in funding."

"Speaking of which, because of this, there's an auction coming up at the end of the month, on the 31st."

"It mainly auctions Cultivation items, some ancient god promotion materials, and special items that cannot be detected."

"Most of the buyers are wealthy individuals from Tianhai City and nearby areas. The auction is generally semi-charitable, and the auction prices are often three to five times the actual value of the items."

Hearing this, Bai Yu's eyes lit up.

Finally, they were talking about this auction! He remembered that there was a golden page at this auction.

If the captain hadn't mentioned it, he would have asked himself.

Seeing Bai Yu's interest, Li Yunbin smiled and said, "I plan to go take a look. Do you want to come?"

"Of course! I've never been to an auction before. I'm curious what it's like."

"If there's anything you want to bid on then, just tell me. Consider it a loan to you; with your abilities, you can definitely pay it back."

"Alright!"

After a moment of silence.

Liu Feifei, unable to bear the boredom, asked, "Is the jiaolong pearl still quiet?"

As soon as she said this, although the others didn't show much expression, it was obvious they really wanted to see it!

Since the captain had made so many arrangements for this matter, Bai Yu naturally didn't hide it and took it out directly.

This pearl was not large, only about twenty centimeters in diameter, and was aquamarine. Unknown energy seemed to be flowing inside, and a coiled Little Dragon could be seen, seemingly asleep.

Liu Feifei adored the Little White Jiao.

Her voice softened involuntarily, "Is this a Jiaolong? So cute!"

Bai Yu also lowered his voice, "I just don't know how strong it is."

"A Jiaolong definitely won't be weak!"

Since the Little Dragon remained still, everyone watched for a while before Bai Yu put it away.

What was particularly strange was that Bai Yu possessed some unknown ability, allowing him to store the jiaolong pearl just like he stored the golden page!

This was also the reason why the jiaolong pearl had not been exposed.

After driving for a while longer, the water on the road became deeper and deeper.

In some low-lying areas, the water was already waist-deep.

Seeing that they were about to return to the Investigation Bureau, Bai Yu touched the bottle of red sewage from the sewer that he had stored in his chest.

Seeing Bai Yu take out a strange item, Liu Feifei asked curiously, "What is this?"

"It's the sewage from the sewer that we saw when we surfaced."

"Sewage? Why would you carry something like that? That area is within Yundong District's jurisdiction. We just mentioned the sewage issue to them."

"Because... it might be related to the person who makes the sin blood potion."

As soon as he said this, Li Yunbin accidentally slammed on the brakes, but fortunately, due to the heavy rain and few cars, he had already slowed down and was driving carefully.

Li Yunbin's tone was somewhat excited, "Are you sure?"

"Yes. I studied the sin blood yesterday. I feel there's a slight connection with this one in my hand."

Hearing this, Li Yunbin frowned, "There's no sin blood energy in this liquid. I can feel that."

"I just said there's a connection. For example, what if this is a medicinal herb that neutralizes the sin blood potion's energy, allowing ordinary people to withstand it?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

They all knew that Bai Yu's abilities were special.

What he said might not sound very logical, but it was very likely the correct answer!

Thinking of this, Li Yunbin said, "I'll have someone investigate along the sewer to find out which factory or residential building is discharging it."

"That's what I meant too. It's best if the commotion is small and discreet. This should be an important person, so we absolutely cannot alert them."

"Okay! I'll arrange it."

After speaking, Li Yunbin took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

They had been investigating for several months with no significant clues. But now Bai Yu was telling him that he had actually found an important person who made the potion!

What was even more outrageous was that everyone had seen this clue, but no one had paid attention, thinking it should be handled by the Environmental Protection Bureau.

Could this kid really be a Genius at solving cases?

Investigation Bureau.

Li Yunbin seemed to have received a message. He glanced at it briefly, then said, "Yang Lao was attacked by the Fishman leader."

After joining the Investigation Bureau, Bai Yu had learned about Fishmen.

Both the Fishman Priest and the Fishman leader were individuals of the Linghai Realm! The Priest's status was even higher.

Bai Yu: "Nothing happened, right?"

"No."

Hearing Li Yunbin's unusually calm and confident tone, Bai Yu instantly understood.

Li Yunbin was even more prepared than he had imagined!

'He even dispatched a Linghai Realm expert. Does it feel like it's not just to help me, but that the Li family also set up a trap?'

After a brief conversation, everyone was about to disperse, but then they noticed Director Yang standing at the main building's entrance, quietly watching them, a relieved smile on his face.

"Director Yang!" "Hello, Director Yang!"

Director Yang's smile carried a hint of relief as he said, "You seem to have done something big and resolved a major crisis."

"Good! Well done..."

After speaking, without waiting for anyone to reply, Director Yang turned and went back into the building.

The other team members couldn't help but look at Bai Yu.

"? ? ? Why are you looking at me? Everyone participated! Don't you all know?"

Li Yunbin speculated, "With Director Yang's special ability, he probably saw more than we did."

Bai Yu's heart stirred.

That's true! If this White Dragon had fallen into the Fishmen's hands, what then?

Afterward, Li Yunbin rented a Cultivation room within the Investigation Bureau and began his formal Cultivation.

Most of his time back at the Li family had been spent arranging today's operation; he hadn't even had time for the most important matter of Cultivation.

Bai Yu, on the other hand, was running wildly in the rain, completing his thirty-kilometer task!

The heavy rain in Tianhai City continued without any sign of stopping. Some areas were already flooded, and emergency measures were being taken.

5:00 PM.

Room 401.

Bai Yu was currently sitting cross-legged, performing the Great Circulation of the Heavens.

[Obtained Golden Intelligence Fragment * 1]

"Phew~"

"A golden one!"

However, based on probability alone, it would take 111 days to obtain a complete golden intelligence.

During this process, he would also need to accumulate a large amount of intelligence value.

"Beep~"

Hearing his phone ring, Bai Yu opened it.

It was a message from Professor Professor Wang Wen.

"I heard the school is holding a party on the evening of the 27th. Are you planning to go?"

Bai Yu was a bit confused; why would Professor Professor Wang Wen ask him this?

"Why are you asking that?"

"Just tell me if you're going or not."

"This rain will probably last three days! The party will probably be canceled. If the weather is good and it proceeds normally, I might go."

"Okay, got it."

After chatting, Bai Yu still didn't understand Professor Professor Wang Wen's intention.

"What a strange personality."

"Never mind, let's focus on my main business first."

He took a deep breath and looked at the intelligence with the keyword 'talisman brush'.

Confirm purchase!

Hope it's a good item.
