When I was a Taoist

Chapter 494 The first day at work

"Thank you senior!"

With a happy expression on my face, I cupped my hands towards Niu Jin and hurried forward to pull out the card.But no matter how hard I squeezed the card with both hands, I couldn't pull it out.

"This is also a test for me. If you can't even pull out the card, then you'd better go back to Dragon City and stay there, don't meddle in this kind of thing." Niu Jin said with a cold snort.

I was extremely surprised, this old man possessed such terrifying strength despite his plain appearance.With this hand alone, I am afraid that Elder Qingquan may not be able to do it. He deserves to be the leader of the No. [-] Archives Bureau.

Taking a deep breath, I gathered the dragon energy in my body to the palm of my hand, and immediately grabbed the card and pulled it vigorously, and finally pulled it out from the wall.I weighed the card in my hand, but I didn't expect this seemingly thin card to weigh twenty or thirty catties!

"Hey, the power that flashed through your body just now is a bit strange." Niu Jin looked at me in surprise, but he didn't pursue the question carefully. He just waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, you only have half an hour. If you can help us After closing this case, I still owe you a kindness."

"Senior, don't worry, I will do my best."

I cupped my hands, took the card and quickly found the most secret place of the No. [-] Archives Bureau, which is the secret room where they keep all the files.I handed the card to the gatekeeper of the secret room, who took a look at it and then led me into the secret room, saying with a blank expression: "There is a date number on each iron frame, and it is absolutely not allowed to casually browse through other file. If you violate the rules, I have the right to kill you on the spot."

"Hehe, of course."

I smiled and nodded, and immediately found the iron frame half a year ago, and began to search for the files of the bar case one by one.Most of the cases kept here are supernatural cases that cannot be solved in other places, so there are not many in terms of quantity, and I soon found the files I wanted.After taking it out, I quickly sat down on the table and began to read it carefully, browsing through the information inside verbatim.Just like what David said that day, a customer never came out after entering that box. After half an hour, the waiter went in and found that the customer had turned into a mummy.

The No. [-] Archives Bureau investigated this matter for several days without any clues, and because there were no customers at that time, only a few waiters who had just started work, so the impact of the matter was minimized, and few people knew about it .Until the end, the No. [-] Archives Bureau also gave up the case, and sealed the file here, never asking any more questions.

After reading the entire dossier, I was not only curious about the origin of this ghost, but also chilled by the inaction of this archives bureau.In any case, it belongs to the supernatural organization established by the government. I didn't expect to let such a weird case go.If it hadn't been for the ghost to commit crimes again, I'm afraid I would not have known that there was such a terrifying ghost lurking in the bar.

After putting the dossier back in place, I returned to Niu Jin's room with the card in hand.The latter glanced up at me and said, "Now that you've finished reading the file, tell me if you have any thoughts on this case."

I replayed the information in the dossier in my head, and then said: "From half a year ago to yesterday, Li Gui only killed the first deceased. It was not until yesterday that a new round of massacres began. Although I don't know I know why it took such a long time to do it, but I guess, it should be related to David's soul-calling at that time. Perhaps without his soul-calling ceremony, this ghost will not reappear."

"Yes."

Niu Jin nodded and said: "I know what you are thinking, blame us for sealing up this case. As you said, this ghost has never appeared again, and there is nothing we can do but temporarily put down the case. Now Li Gui reappeared, your friends have an inescapable responsibility, and I guess Li Gui will not let them go. If you can guard them, you don't have to worry about finding Li Gui's whereabouts."

"Senior, don't worry, I understand what to do. This time, I will definitely bring this beast back!"

Saying goodbye to Niu Jin, I flew back to Dragon City that day, and returned to the bar without stopping.I had expected the pub to be temporarily closed for a few days after what happened yesterday.But I didn't expect that the signboard of the bar was still on, and there were quite a few customers walking in, chatting and laughing, as if they didn't know what happened here last night.

Walking into the bar with doubts, I found that the place where the corpse was lying had been swept clean, not even a trace of blood was left.I hurriedly grabbed a passing waiter and asked, "Where are the corpses lying here? There are five corpses in total. Why didn't you call the police?"

The waiter looked at me like a madman, stepped back quickly and said: "What corpse? I think you have read too many detective novels, how could there be a corpse here? I warn you, if you want to specifically destroy the business of the bar , I will immediately call the security guard to drive you out!"

I was dumbfounded by the waiter's words. Five people clearly died here last night. Why did they disappear in just one day?I hurriedly called Team Liu of the police station and asked him if anyone had reported to the police last night.Team Liu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I was on duty last night. Except for two traffic accident calls, no one said that something happened to Dragon City Bar. Dazhi, Dragon City Bar is a very evil place. I advise you to stay away from it."

Hearing this, I vaguely felt that Team Liu knew some secrets, so I hurriedly asked: "What happened to this Dragon City Bar, could it be the unsolved case half a year ago?"

"Hey, you also know about this."

Team Liu smiled and said, "That's right, I was the first to take over this case. When I found something weird, and you happened to be not in Longcheng, I had to report it to Kyoto, and finally sealed it and handed it over. It’s nothing, but I think the owner of the bar is weirder than this case. I used to drink in the bar occasionally, and accidentally found that the waiters in the bar would change a batch of new faces every once in a while. Tell me, if it is How can a normal person change waiters so frequently?"

"Captain Liu, if this case is solved, you will have made great contributions!"

Excitedly, I hurriedly hung up the phone, grabbed a waiter and asked, "When did you come to work here?"

"Today is my first day at work, what's wrong?" the waiter gave me a strange look and replied.

Sure enough, as I expected, it's not that the corpses from last night didn't exist, but that the bar owner removed all the waiters from yesterday and replaced them with a new batch today, so they don't know anything about what happened yesterday !From this point of view, the problem must lie with the bar owner!
