Xing patted the gray bin in front of her that looked exactly like the Belloberg trash can.
"Can you please make her leave? This is harassing me!!"
A voice rang in everyone's ears.
Bai Zhi:?
Oh no, am I hallucinating? The trash can is really talking.
"Can't you hear me? Get this guy out of here! This is serious harassment!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what is she doing? She's putting her hand into this bucket..."
Then the group saw Xing pull a bunch of Xingqiong out of the talking trash can.
"This bucket is no longer clean..."
The trash can actually had an expression like that of a wronged woman.
"Wait a minute, you can really talk?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised and tentatively asked.
"That's right, this barrel is the legendary Sage of the Barrel. You all better show me some respect. If you bring me an association commemorative coin, I can give you some mysterious rewards."
"The mystery reward, is it Xingqiong?"
Xing stared at the Sage of the Bucket with shining eyes.
"What Xingqiong? It's just some good stuff that can make your weapons stronger."
"It's not Xingqiong... No fun."
Xing seemed uninterested.
"You're really something! You can take things out of my body and I haven't even bothered you yet. If you offend me again, believe me, I'll get my distant relatives to teach you a lesson!"
The Sage of the Bucket looks like he's about to turn red.
Who is your distant relative? Is he/she also a dumping ground for garbage?
Bai Zhi asked curiously.
"Hmph, of course! My relative is the legendary King Yi Tong. Although this relationship is very distant, and I don't know where these relatives are, they are truly powerful!"
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. All the humans are watching, and I don't want to be seen as an outsider. You can leave."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi looked around and saw that many people were looking at her with surprise.
They seemed puzzled as to why someone would talk to themselves over a trash can.
Bai Zhi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
……
"Star, look, even the Sage of the Bucket isn't saying anything anymore. You've hollowed out its body too. Let's go."
Seeing that Xing seemed to still want to study the Sage of the Barrel more closely, Bai Zhi sighed, snapped her fingers, and the surrounding fire hydrants suddenly burst open, spraying out a stream of water that attracted everyone's attention.
Immediately, Bai Zhi placed her right hand on Xing's body.
"boom"
A puff of white smoke flashed by, and a raccoon wearing a baseball cap appeared in the spot.
"Sister March 7th, I'm entrusting Xing to you. Isn't she adorable?"
"So...so cute!!"
It's common knowledge that girls are always powerless against cute creatures.
Seeing Xing transformed into a raccoon, March 7th's eyes practically sparkled with excitement. He quickly stepped forward and hugged the still bewildered Xing in his arms.
Hmm... maybe Silver Wolf is an oddball; she's currently eyeing a cool motorcycle.
"Little Angelica, what do you think of that car?"
Silver Wolf pointed to the red motorcycle over there.
"I think blue would be the best match for you, but do you want to drive this thing?"
Bai Zhi glanced at the car over there. It was red with a streamlined design and a mecha-like style. There was also a bear head pattern printed on it.
This car isn't like those muscle cars; they're huge and require a strong physique to handle.
On the contrary, the car looked like it was driven by someone about the same size as Silver Wolf.
"I'm quite curious. I used to drive mostly Blade, and occasionally I'd drive starships or something. I've only ever experienced these kinds of motorcycles on the ground in games; I've never actually driven one in real life."
"However, Ren seems to really like this kind of car. He said it's much more fun to drive than those four-wheeled vehicles. When you drive it at top speed, you feel like you're heading towards everything you're pursuing."
"Uh... isn't Blade courting death? This is no joke."
Although Silver Wolf is a Star Core Hunter, his physical abilities are incomparable to those of someone like Blade who is almost immortal. Basically, Silver Wolf is able to withstand more blows than ordinary people only because of the power of his destiny.
You might not die in a car accident, but you might suffer fractures or other serious injuries.
"Ahem, actually it's because I just played a game at the arcade called Road Rash, and it was pretty fun."
"So when you saw this car, you wanted to try driving it?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi instantly understood.
You should have said so earlier. It's perfectly normal to want to try out a real car after playing a game.
"I just want to give it a try, don't overthink it."
“It’s alright, Silver Wolf. If you want this car, I can find out who owns it and buy it for you.”
Bai Zhi patted her chest. Silver Wolf had helped her a lot during this time, so getting a motorcycle now wasn't something she couldn't solve.
After all, there are still the legendary rope maker Phaethon and his sister.
With these two around, achieving this goal here should be quite simple.
"Really?"
"of course it's true."
"It's a deal. I'll also help you speed up the development of your system."
P.S.: Please vote for me!
Chapter 438 Zhu Yuan Investigates the Case
"Zhu Yuan, the police station's financial monitoring system has recently detected a large amount of abnormal fund flows. You'll need to investigate this case."
Inside the police station, a man spoke to a tall female police officer and handed her a document.
"Yes, Chief, I'll investigate right away!"
The female police officer immediately saluted, spoke loudly, then took the document and left the office.
As soon as she stepped out of the office, a voice came from inside.
"It's this kind of boring, trivial matter again. It's not even a major assault case. Who knows when it will be solved."
"Senior Qingyi, finance is also very important. What if it's some kind of fraudster?"
"Zhu Yuan, you're still too young. If you were really a fraudster, someone would have reported it to the police long ago. How could there be no news yet?"
The one referred to as Qingyi was a short girl with blue twin ponytails, wearing a police tactical suit.
Despite her short stature, Qingyi's tone was unusually mature, which seemed completely out of character for someone of her size.
"I've seen this kind of thing a lot. It's just what those guys in the gray area are up to. It's nothing serious."
"Compared to these, there are far more shady dealings in the cash flow of large corporations."
"Besides, guess why the director gave you this task? With such a large sum of money, he should have personally led the investigation. But since there was no hope of finding anything, he just pushed it onto you."
The man in blue sighed, "Young man, just muddle along for a while. Only by protecting your health and life can you serve more people."
"Senior in green robes, please don't say such discouraging things. All evil will have nowhere to hide in the sunlight!"
Zhu Yuan clearly didn't agree with Qingyi's attitude, and instead clenched her fists, speaking with great enthusiasm.
"Alright, alright, I was being too long-winded. So, dear Officer Zhu Yuan, how do you plan to investigate this money?"
The woman in green leaned lazily against the wall and asked in a casual tone.
"Uh……"
Zhu Yuan scratched her head; this time, the question had truly touched on her difficulties.
Although the police have tracked down some unusual transaction information, it does not mean that they know the specific information of the transactors.
Because these bank cards are anonymous and the funds are transacted through a net, they are extremely difficult to monitor.
If it weren't for the fact that the amount involved was so large, they wouldn't even have known about it.
"How about we go and visit the surrounding area, ask the locals if anyone has suddenly become rich or spent a lot of money recently?"
Zhu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then put forward an idea.
"You... what's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack? Never mind, if it weren't looking for a needle in a haystack, why would this kind of case be given to you?"
"Since we're going to patrol anyway, just ask around casually. Don't have too high hopes, just keep a normal attitude."
"Otherwise, you won't be sleeping well lately~"
The woman in green commented helplessly.
“Okay, I won’t focus too much on it. Senior Qingyi, let’s go to 16th Street first. There’s a police outreach program going on recently, so we can ask if anyone’s attending the lecture.”
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. We still haven't met the KPI for this lousy thing. Sigh, what a miserable life."
Qingyi shook her head, straightened up from the wall she was leaning against, stretched her body, and said, "Let's go."
Meanwhile, on 16th Street, Nicole was handing a black card to Bai Zhi.
“Miss Bai Zhi, we’ve managed to dispose of all the gold, whether it’s mine or the store manager’s. This bank card contains all that money.”
"Oh, and these too, we've processed new Elidu identity documents for a few of them."
Nicole then pulled out a few more cards, which featured photos of Bai Zhi and several others, along with their identification numbers.
"Thank you."
Bai Zhi took the cards and nodded to Nicole in approval.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. We at the Rabbit House love getting things done. If you ever need help again in the future, please be sure to consider us!"
Nicole couldn't stop smiling; the money she earned was enough for Rabbit House to live lavishly for a while.
They could even upgrade Billy's physique and renovate the base.
"Speaking of which, I really have something to trouble you all with."
Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, then said.
"No problem, we'll take care of it for you right away! Just tell us what you need."
Without saying a word, Nicole patted her chest and made her promise.
She believed that the demand for angelica would definitely allow her to make a fortune again.
"Do you see that motorcycle over there?"
Bai Zhi pointed to the red motorcycle parked at the end of the street.
"I see. Are you thinking of buying a car? No problem, we can also work part-time as vehicle purchase consultants."
"No, no, no," Bai Zhi shook her head.
"I mean, I need you to find out who owns that car and see if it's available for sale. I want to buy it."
“That’s… no problem!”
Nicole hesitated for only a second before agreeing to Bai Zhi's request.
"Boss Nicole, you're not planning to just steal that car to deliver the goods, are you?"
"Billy, what nonsense are you spouting? Our Rabbit House isn't that bad yet!"
Nicole turned around and tapped Billy. Although the Cunning Rabbit House were cave raiders, and strictly speaking, an illegal organization, they were quite law-abiding in the city.
