46: Chapter 46: Investigation 46: Chapter 46: Investigation While Wen Wen was having a great ti, a phone call ca through.
“This is Lin Zheyuan.” Lin Zheyuan spoke in a deep voice.
Wen Wen answered the phone and casually said, “Oh my gosh, isn’t this Captain Lin?
What do you need for?”
“…” There was a silence on the other end of the line, then he asked, “Who are you?”
Wen Wen’s eyes rolled around a bit, he fell silent for a while, made so strange noises, and then said to Lin Zheyuan:
“I’m Wen Wen, a friend answered just now, did you need for sothing?”
He didn’t want to expose his abilities too much in front of the Hunters Association, as any superpower could have unexpected effects.
“About that sewer you ntioned earlier, we sent people to check it out, but only found so supernatural creature corpses.”
“There were signs of a fight in the direction where the host body fled, and it seems the host body was defeated, while the other person must have been Mr.
L, and the Bewitching Clown Grandi escaped again.”
Lin Zheyuan and Wen Wen discussed the follow-up to the last sewer incident, which shouldn’t have involved telling Wen Wen, but since Wen Wen was a direct participant in that incident, it was necessary to inform him.
“Also, I have another matter to discuss with you, Uncle Gong will co to conduct an investigation, and you need to cooperate with him,” Lin Zheyuan paused before saying.
“Why investigate ?
Making videos for Zhu Qipei isn’t illegal, right?” Wen Wen said nervously.
On the other side of the phone, Lin Zheyuan’s expression turned strange: “You actually made videos for Zhu Qipei…
No wonder he ca to for your contact information, well, I admire you, you are truly a brave soul.”
Wen Wen ruffled his hair, feeling like he had inadvertently exposed sothing.
“So, I got a report that you intimidated two high school students and then blew up a park with our Association’s RPG rocket launcher?”
“Well…
you could say that, but I took down a murderous Tree Spirit, you guys should be able to cover this up for , right?” Wen Wen said uncertainly.
“While it’s true that your rit outweighs your faults, you made quite a scene this ti, and since you aren’t an internal mber of the Hunters Association, a necessary investigation needs to be carried out,” Lin Zheyuan explained to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen sighed and had no choice but to accept the investigation: “Alright then, just don’t go spreading the word about the videos I made for Zhu Qipei!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” Lin Zheyuan felt a bit weary, knowing this guy would make videos for Zhu Qipei, he didn’t expect much decency from him.
After hanging up, Lin Zheyuan’s expression gradually beca more composed as he thought about Wen Wen’s situation.
As the captain of Furong River City’s Demon Hunter squad, he had been busy tracking down Profane Blood but he never completely ignored other matters.
And in the entirety of Furong River City, the most conspicuous one was Wen Wen.
Compared to the majority of freelance hunters, Wen Wen was definitely an anomaly.
Most superpower users choose to beco freelance hunters simply because they don’t want to be too constrained by the Hunters Association.
So, even though they cop the title of Hunter, most wouldn’t actively seek out monsters to battle, they are at best just ordinary people with superpowers.
There are at least a dozen freelance hunters in Furong River City, but none are as active as Wen Wen.
Such a talent, Lin Zheyuan wanted to bring into the Hunters Association, but he always felt that there was sothing hidden about Wen Wen.
“Abilities unclear, reasons for fighting monsters unclear, all bodies of the monsters he has interacted with disappear …
I hope Uncle Gong can find out sothing.”
Indeed, it was for a better understanding of Wen Wen that Lin Zheyuan had asked Uncle Gong to investigate, not necessarily to uncover Wen Wen’s secrets but at least to determine if he harbored any ill intentions towards the Hunters Association.
Having secrets isn’t scary, many in the Hunters Association have secrets, but they cannot pose a threat to the Association.
Otherwise, based on what Wen Wen did tonight, a simple report could easily gloss over it.
…
“They will be here soon, I need to set things up in advance.”
Wen Wen scratched his chin.
Everything important in this room was inside the Sanctuary, and there was nothing he was afraid of Uncle Gong seeing, so a simple cleanup was all he needed.
In other households, if guests were coming, the room would be tidied up neatly to make the visitors feel at ho.
But Wen Wen was not like that …
He first tore off so toilet paper, wadded it up into a bunch of balls, dampened them, and evenly threw them onto the floor.
Then he took out a few unopened condoms, similarly dampened them, and stuffed them into the creases of the couch where Uncle Gong would sit—specifically into crevices that were very easy to see.
As for where he got those condoms …
Of course, he picked them up for free from the supermarket, thinking they might co in handy when capturing monsters …
indeed, this was why Wen Wen had collected the condoms.
In any case, after Wen Wen’s setup, most people wouldn’t want to stay here long, and he was eager to see how long Uncle Gong and the others could last here.
It wasn’t without reason that Wen Wen had no friends; except when doing business, he rarely interacted with others and disliked people getting close to him, being in his current state was entirely his own doing.
There was a knock on the door, and Uncle Gong stood outside, neatly dressed and beaming.
Wen Wen opened the door, scowling, and said, “Co to investigate , huh, co in.”
Uncle Gong’s face turned awkward as he stepped inside, then his foot landed on sothing sticky—a wet toilet paper ball …
“Hmm, I bet the terrible conditions of my house scared you, just ask your questions and leave quickly,” Wen Wen thought to himself.
Uncle Gong picked the tissue from under his foot and casually threw it on the floor, his expression relaxing imdiately.
He walked over to the couch, sat down with a flop, and casually put his feet on the coffee table, causing Wen Wen’s temple to throb.
“Ah …
comfortable, I thought with you always dressed so neatly you’d be clean, ca here all nervous.
Seeing you’re just as sloppy as , I’ve relaxed,” he said.
He expertly took off his clean coat, revealing the stained shirt beneath, pulled out a cigarette, and began to puff smoke.
Wen Wen’s expression grew even more serious; he rembered the first ti he had seen this uncle, he was exactly in this sloppy manner, so this environnt made him even more relaxed!
This was a daunting opponent!
“I scared those kids because they were lured by the Tree Spirit, and if I didn’t drive them away quickly, they’d be in danger.
I used the RPG launcher because that Tree Spirit was too powerful, I had to use heavy artillery, that’s what you wanted to ask, right?
Ask your questions and leave quick,” Wen Wen said in a rush before Uncle Gong could inquire.
“No problem there, but you know that’s not what I’m here to ask about,” Uncle Gong exhaled a ring of smoke and said nonchalantly.
