I'm Good at Tracking People Down

"What the hell!"

Lu Zheng hailed a cab at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau and made his way home.

"Trying to frame me… Don't you know how powerful I am?"

"I can't do anything anyway. You probably don't know how powerful the People's Police are!"

He paid, got out of the car and went home.

...

It was already noon when he returned home. Lu Zheng changed his clothes and traveled back to the ancient times for lunch.

"Young master, the second miss of the Liu family came to find you early in the morning. She said she wanted you to accompany her shopping."

Lu Zheng chuckled. Shopping? She had probably finished all the candies.

However, Lu Zheng couldn't hang out with the Liu sisters at this time because he wouldn't be able to leave whenever he wanted.

"I won't be here in the afternoon. Later, help me send a bag of candies over. Just say that I'll be busy for the next few days."

"Alright!"

Lu Zheng thought to himself as he ate. "This is bad. The case can't be dragged on and the police will come looking for me at any time. Wouldn't that be holding me back?"

However, he could not do anything. He couldn't just catch the murderer and send him to the police, right?

He didn't know who the murderer was!

"Eh?"

Lu Zheng put a piece of tofu into his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

"Am I an idiot?"

Lu Zheng quickly finished his lunch and returned to his bedroom. He took out a bag of candies from his drawer and the talismans he drew last night at the cost of exhausting his Qi.

This was the benefit of exchanging the light of providence for the proficiency in drawing talismans. Lu Zheng skipped the initial practice stage and raised his success rate to 100%.

There were five protective talismans, one Qi-searching talisman, two evil-repelling talismans, and one divine-traveling talisman.

After some thought, Lu Zheng took the protective talisman and gave the other two talismans and a bag of candy to Uncle Li for him to pass on to the Liu sisters.

Then, he ground up the cinnabar, laid out a piece of yellow paper, and drew two Qi-searching talismans.

"Transmigrate!"

"Swish!"

Lu Zheng could feel the Qi in the yellow talisman in his hand, which was locked in. He couldn't help but smile. "Nice!"

This time, Lu Zheng wanted to see if something that contained Qi could transmigrate, other than his own body.

The result was gratifying. It worked!

"Well, cinnabars are the same in both worlds. I wonder if that's the case for the yellow papers and brushes. Next time, I should try it out by bringing them over."

The most important thing now was not to verify his guess, but to catch the murderer.

"Then, what should I do next?"

"Of course the murder weapon has the strongest aura of the murderer."

"Find Lin Wan, let her show me the weapon, and then I'll cast a spell on the spot to extract the aura with the Qi-searching talisman. Then, I'll fold the talisman into a paper crane and let it take the police to the murderer?"

"Hehe!" Lu Zheng chuckled.

It was better to test if the murderer's aura was still in his house.

Qi surged into the talisman. Lu Zheng's right hand trembled slightly, and the talisman began to shine.

Immediately after, Lu Zheng felt a few auras gather around the talisman and slowly float around it.

The strongest one was himself, and the other three weaker ones should be the three police officers' from this morning.

There was another... trace?

It was faint and almost non-existent. If Lu Zheng had used the talisman half a day later, it probably wouldn't have been formed.

"Hurry up and condense it!"

Lu Zheng held the talisman in his right hand and formed a seal with his left. He first dispersed the other four auras, then focused and guided the remaining aura into the Qi-searching talisman.

"Swish!"

The Qi-searshing talisman vibrated slightly, as if it had formed a connection with something in the distance.

"Let's go!"

They were in Haicheng City. Lu Zheng couldn't fold the Qi-searching talisman into a paper crane. Of course, he didn't have that much Qi stored in the talisman to make it fly.

Hence, Lu Zheng folded the paper into a small square and held it in his hand. Following the direction of the paper, he immediately left the house.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry. The aura collected in the paper talisman is limited. It will disappear soon."

Lu Zheng left the neighborhood in quick steps and got on a public bike at the entrance of the neighborhood. Then, he leaped onto the bike and pedaled at lightning speed.

...

On the other side, at the city police station.

"Inspector Li, we did find five suspects that fit the criteria in the surveillance footage, but..."

"But what?"

"However, they were all wearing delivery men's uniforms, helmets, and masks. They didn't reveal anything."

"So, either Lu Zheng is lying or the other person is an expert?"

"Yes!"

Li Jinglin put out his cigarette and fell into deep thought.

...

The energy and Qi in the paper talisman were being consumed at an extremely fast rate. Lu Zheng pedaled his bicycle north and soon covered a dozen streets.

After that, he walked to the entrance of a high-end hotel.

"Swish!"

The Qi-searching talisman in his hand trembled slightly and lost its effect.

Lu Zheng raised his head. "Fortunately, it didn't fail halfway. At least we've arrived at our destination."

He got down and locked the bike. Lu Zheng lifted his head to look at the hotel's signboard.

Qingyu Hotel.

The target was currently in this hotel. As long as Lu Zheng could confirm that this person had been to a certain place and use the Qi-searching talisman again...

Lu Zheng, who had already memorized this person's aura, could immediately pick out the target's aura.

Perhaps... The front desk of the hotel?

Why did things suddenly become so easy?

When the murderer was caught and sent to the police station, he could just say that he had accidentally met him and then remembered that he had seen him in the neighborhood.

Anyway, he didn't do anything wrong, so the process didn't matter.

Lu Zheng swaggered into the hotel and arrived at the front desk. "Get me a room."

"Okay, sir. What type of room would you like? How many days will you be staying? Also, please show me your ID card."

Lu Zheng took out his identity card and handed it to the lady at the front desk. "A standard room will do. For three days."

Lu Zheng had already thought of the reason for his stay in the hotel.

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

"How would you like to pay, sir?"

"With my phone."

"Thank you, the payment is successful. This is your room card. Enjoy your stay!"

Lu Zheng took the room card, turned around, and walked toward the elevator at the side of the lobby.

As he walked, Lu Zheng took out a Qi-searching talisman from his pocket and folded it into a square.

His other hand formed a seal, and in an instant, hundreds of auras came in torrents.

"So many!"

The Qi in the Qi-searching talisman was rapidly consumed. Lu Zheng recognized the aura in an instant.

"Condense!"

"Swish!"

"Yes!"

Lu Zheng walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth floor with a smile.

If someone were to look at the room card in his hand, they would see the number 1210 clearly written on it.
