Strange Cards

Chapter 226 Selling Sheep?

After returning to Nanhai City, Shi Yu continued to live her life. Every morning at 7:30, she would get up to send Shi Yanlan, Qi Nannan, and Liu Yu to school before going to the university's research lab.

Shigure's little rabbit now belongs entirely to Baiyu. Baiyu's daily routine consists of getting up in the morning, brushing her teeth and washing her face, having breakfast, and then riding Shigure's motorcycle to search for ghosts all over the world.

There haven't been any strange or eerie incidents in the entire south for a long time now. Even if people patrol at night for a long time, they might only find one or two ghosts.

On a typical afternoon, Shiyu finished the last piece of data on the satellite transmission and sent it to Guanyun. Then, she uploaded all the compiled data to Yanyun, instructing her to begin working on the satellite transmission project.

Shi Yu stretched, glanced at her watch and saw that it was already five o'clock. After taking a sip of tea from her thermos, she walked out of the research room.

Shi Yu had just stepped out when she ran into Guan Yun. Shi Yu raised her hand to greet Guan Yun.

"Doctor, would you like to go out for dinner together?"

Guan Yun tapped Shi Yu on the head in an annoyed tone, holding a stack of paper documents in his hand.

"Your research lately has really gotten bolder and bolder."

"You mentioned satellite transmission a little back then, and I didn't expect you to actually make it. Now I have to run some programs for it."

"After all, if this thing is really going to work, it has to be launched into space and put into orbit. This thing has not only scientific research value but also military value."

"I need to contact those guys in charge of flying; I'm not going to be idle this November."

Guan Yun hurriedly left, and Shi Yu smiled, locked the laboratory door, went downstairs, got into her car, lit a cigarette, and drove towards the elementary school.

Shiyu's car quickly arrived near the elementary school, but since it was school dismissal time, the area around the school was already completely congested. So Shiyu parked the car on a street away from the elementary school.

After Shiyu got off the bus, she lit another cigarette and then suddenly heard some rustling sounds.

"Are we really going to pull this off?"

"Nonsense, one sheep costs around three to five hundred thousand, and we caught six this time."

"After we sell the sheep, the rest of us will go abroad and come back after the statute of limitations for the case expires."

"Let's pull off one big heist and we'll be set for life. Now let's get the sheep to that customer."

Having previously worked under the yakuza, Shigure naturally understood their slang, and the so-called "sheep" were obviously children.

Shiyu stubbed out the cigarette with her hand and threw it into the trash can.

"I never imagined that there would be people in this world who would steal and sell sheep."

Shi Yu looked at the alley from which the sound came, opened the car door, took out a steel rod, and after seeing that no one was around, slipped inside.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"Have mercy, sir!"

"Wrong! Wrong!"

……

After teaching a lesson to the four men carrying four sacks in the alley, Shigure calmly dialed the police, then used reverse reconstruction to disassemble the steel rod and reconstruct a bundle of rope.

Shiyu even took the time to pick up the children before the police arrived. After picking up the three little ones, she bought each of them a candied hawthorn and then bought one for herself. She ate the candied hawthorn while waiting for the police to arrive.

The piercing sound of police sirens soon grew louder as they approached, and before long, four police cars stopped near Shigure.

"Who called the police?"

"I."

Shi Yu raised her hand, took a bite of the last candied hawthorn, threw the stick into the trash can, and pointed into the alley.

"There were child thieves inside, and I've already subdued them and tied them up with rope."

"Those children are still in the sacks, it seems they've been drugged. Anyone with medical skills should go check on them quickly."

The police rushed into the alley and gasped when they saw the four people lying on the ground.

"That's too brutal."

……

Inside the police station.

A policewoman looked at Shi Yu sitting in the interrogation room opposite her and emphasized her words again.

"You mean to say..."

"You single-handedly subdued several burly men weighing over 160 pounds, and then, in a situation where you couldn't see clearly, they accidentally fought each other, resulting in fractures, bone cracks, and even concussions?"

"And then you just happened to tie them up and saved the children."

"Is it right?"

"That's absolutely true, officer."

"How could a model young man like me, who can't even kill a chicken, possibly fight these burly men? My thigh isn't even as thick as their arms. If we really started fighting, I'd be lucky if I didn't end up with a Samsung flip screen."

The policewoman narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Shi Yu's sincere face, trying to discern subtle expressions from Shi Yu's face with a serious expression to confirm her guess.

But no matter how seriously the policewoman looked at him, Shiyu was not afraid at all, and even grinned.

If the Southern Hunters heard Shigure's comment about being "too weak to even kill a chicken," they would absolutely laugh their heads off.

Even the fiercest ghosts would avoid Shigure now, as Shigure is the only one among the hunters who is thin and looks like a frail scholar.

But Shigure happens to be the most capable fighter; he could easily take on ten, or even a hundred thousand, without any problem.

After Shi Yu answered each of her questions flawlessly several times, the policewoman had no choice but to let her go.

After all, there were only two items at the scene that contained fingerprints and DNA: the rope that bound the traffickers and the sacks that contained the children.

Putting aside the fact that the rope was what Shigure used to tie up those human traffickers, the fingerprints on the sack openings were clearly left by Shigure when he opened the sacks to let the children inside breathe.

After Shi Yu walked out of the interrogation room, she saw Liu An sitting outside, and Bei Hai, the captain of the criminal investigation team, standing to the side.

"Are you alright?"

After seeing Shi Yu come out, Liu An went up to her and touched her left and right, as if afraid that Shi Yu would get hurt.

Shi Yu scratched his head, smiled, and said.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

"Sister Liu An, don't you know how skilled I am? Taking care of those petty thieves is a piece of cake."

Just then, Bei Hai, the captain of the criminal investigation team of Nanhai City, came out and extended his hand to Shi Yu.

"Hello, Brother Shigure."

"Hello, Detective Captain."

Shigure extended her hand to shake hands with Hokukai, but only briefly before withdrawing her hand.

Beihai was not surprised and went straight to the point.

"Time is precious, so I'll get straight to the point."

"Our criminal investigation team would like to invite you, the Hunters, to join us in solving a case."

"This case is of the same nature as what the Shiyu brothers encountered today, which is child trafficking."
