Seeing Zhan Shuyi being taken off the car and into the police station, Jiangli gave Xia Xin a look, "Xia Xin, go inside and find out what’s going on."
Xia Xin was taken aback, "Me?"
How was he supposed to go in and find out?
Jiangli: "You can’t?"
Xia Xin hesitated, "I, I can’t just go in directly, the police wouldn’t tell me the details of the case."
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "So what now, you got any ideas?"
Xia Xin was at a loss for words.
After a moment of thought, he suddenly thought of someone, "Master, how about I call Captain Song? Captain Song is at the city’s headquarters. Although this precinct isn’t under his jurisdiction, he might be able to help us get some information."
At any rate, it was better than trying to find out himself.
Jiangli hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You’re not that dumb."
Hearing this, Xia Xin knew Jiangli approved of the idea, so he immediately took out his phone to contact Song Taishan.
It was quite fortuitous.
Song Taishan happened to be nearby, handling some leftover issues from Minsheng Medicine.
There was a commercial office building of Minsheng Medicine in the area.
Song Taishan was inside looking for some evidence.
Hearing Xia Xin’s call, Song Taishan checked the time, "It’s almost noon, we should take a break. Master Xia Xin, I’ll come over and have a look. Have the Abbot wait for me, I’ll be there in two minutes."
Xia Xin was extremely overjoyed, nearly ready to kneel down in gratitude, "Great, great, Captain Song, we’ll wait for you!"
Song Taishan hung up the phone.
Xia Xin couldn’t contain his excitement as he told Jiangli the news.
Jiangli nodded, "Then let’s wait."
Song Taishan seemed to be very punctual. Two minutes meant two minutes.
Almost exactly two minutes later, Jiangli and Xia Xin saw Song Taishan walking over from across the street.
"Captain Song!" Upon seeing Song Taishan, Xia Xin waved frantically as if he had seen a relative.
Song Taishan walked over and explained, "What a coincidence, I’m handling some matters nearby..."
He briefly mentioned some follow-up issues of Minsheng Medicine to Jiangli without revealing too much.
Jiangli wasn’t interested in those details, "Quite a coincidence, sorry to trouble you, Captain Song."
Song Taishan waved it off with a smile, "The Abbot is too kind, if it weren’t for your help, we wouldn’t have cracked the Minsheng Medicine case. I owe you a lot of favors. Even if I were at the headquarters, I’d come right over as soon as you called."
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "Not seeing you overnight, and you’ve become quite the talker, Captain Song."
Song Taishan chuckled, "Is this the police station? The captain of this precinct’s criminal investigation team happens to be my old classmate. Shall we go in together and say hello?"
Jiangli was surprised, "Can we?"
"No problem, my old classmate is a really good person, he won’t mind."
Song Taishan smiled, leaned in a bit closer, and lowered his voice to add, "Besides, he’s had dealings with the Unusual Affairs Management Office, so don’t worry."
Jiangli was slightly surprised, "You police have contact with the Unusual Affairs Management Office?"
"Generally no, only in special cases," Song Taishan explained as he led Jiangli into the police station, "but my old classmate is an exoteric disciple of Xuanmen, he has worked with the Unusual Affairs Management Office before, although he’s been reassigned here now, so he’s more knowledgeable."
When Song Taishan first heard about the Unusual Affairs Management Office and didn’t understand much about it, he privately discovered his old classmate’s identity and used to ask him about the Unusual Affairs Management Office.
