Mysteries of the Ninth Grade Weapon Chapter 5

Mr. Wang is known as the richest man in Xicheng, Shi County, which means his family is really rich.

How to become extremely wealthy?

There is no other reason. If the business fails, I can only go home and inherit the property!

The Wang family’s ancestors started out as a restaurant owner in Shi County. After several generations of accumulation, they finally became wealthy and owned dozens of shops on a busy street in Xicheng.

You should know that the west city of Shi County is the most affluent. Whether it is commercial land or residential land, every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

The Wang family's dozens of shops almost occupied half of the street. The rent alone was a huge sum of money in a year, which could be said to be a huge profit.

Mr. Wang, formerly known as Wang Zhiquan, is the current head of the Wang family. He controls all the resources of the Wang family and holds a high status in Shi County.

Moreover, he was good at socializing and had a wide range of friends. From the rich and powerful to the knights-errant, he could treat them as brothers and drink with them.

If a person has sufficient connections, he will have great energy.

Anyone in Shi County who has a little common sense would not easily provoke him.

He had enough financial and human resources to solve most of the problems, but when it came to the ghost problem at home, he had to ask the county government for help, which showed that the matter was a bit tricky for him.

When Adrian Chu and his party arrived at the Wang family mansion, the sunlight dispelled the autumn dew and illuminated the earth.

The royal residence was bathed in sunlight, without any trace of gloom.

After explaining his purpose to the doorman, the other party invited the palace's butler to exchange greetings. Then, led by the butler, Adrian Chu and his group of constables came to the backyard and met Wang Zhiquan.

Wang Zhiquan does not have the slightest air of a nouveau riche. On the contrary, he is very elegant. In his forties, dressed in white, he looks like a scholar, gentle, polite, and still maintains a good figure, which makes him look like a mature and handsome middle-aged man.

Even his voice was soft and gentle, making people feel as if they were in a spring breeze: "It is an honor to have you, Captain Chu, visit my humble home. Captain Chu is young and promising, and I would like to ask you to help resolve the demon problem in my home this time." After saying this, he bowed, without the slightest arrogance of a rich man.

"Mr. Wang, you are too polite!" Adrian Chu was greatly surprised and astonished. He could only return the greeting modestly and said that he had done his best.

The county government's copywriter said that the record was very clear and detailed. The Wang family reported that on the night of seven days ago, a servant of the Wang family said that a huge cat demon appeared in their house. When standing upright, it was almost as tall as an adult. It moved quickly and came and went like the wind. After being discovered, it did not panic. It swept the person down with its long tail, then jumped onto the roof and ran away.

At first, no one believed it. They thought the servant was lying or was sick and had hallucinations. Especially since no one saw the so-called cat demon in the next two days, they thought the man was talking nonsense.

Who would have thought that three days later, the cat demon appeared again!

This time, more than one person saw its trace. Several of the royal family guards witnessed it with their own eyes. Among them, some warriors with the cultivation level of the first or second realm even dared to participate in the capture.

Unexpectedly, the cat demon was too powerful, especially its tail, which was about half a meter long and could be soft or hard. It knocked down several warriors to the ground in just a few strokes. Some of them were seriously injured and in critical condition.

Not only that, that night, the cat demon also rushed into the house in the backyard and scratched several people with its claws, including Wang Zhiyuan's relatives.

His wife and eldest son were both injured by the cat demon's claws.

Wang Hao, the son of the Wang family, was the most seriously injured. He was stabbed in the stomach by the cat demon's claws. If he had not been treated in time, he would probably have lost his life.

If the cat demon hurts people so wantonly, the matter will become serious.

Wang Zhiquan felt that the few guards hired by the palace were not able to protect them well, so he quickly reported to the authorities and asked for more people to deal with the problem.

Since Adrian Chu came here, he naturally wanted to see what was going on with the cat demon, so after the greetings, he asked to go to the backyard to see what was going on.

Wang Zhiquan had no objection and was extremely cooperative, accompanying us throughout the whole process.

But he saw Adrian Chu walking around the backyard, just looking here and there, without making any progress, so he couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Captain Chu, do you have any other instructions from Captain Xu?"

Adrian Chu glanced at him and realized that the other party might feel that he was young and unreliable, so he was not very reassured.

"Mr. Wang, Captain Xu has entrusted this case to Chu. Please rest assured that I will do my best to give you an answer."

Wang Zhiquan's elegant face was filled with an embarrassed smile, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, then I'll trouble Captain Chu. Wang is familiar with Captain Xu, and I just want to ask about his recent situation."

Adrian Chu smiled subtly, didn't expose it, just nodded.

Wang Zhiquan mentioned Xu Wei twice and said that he was familiar with him. His purpose was naturally to use the captain of the police to suppress the team leader. He was afraid that Adrian Chu would not be serious on this trip!

Xu Jin, who was standing by, also understood what Wang Yuanwai meant. After working all night, he was tired and easily angry. He said unhappily, "Wang Yuanwai, our Chu Bantou is always sincere and careful in his actions. Just relax!"

Wang Zhiquan lowered his attitude, clasped his fists and smiled bitterly: "Please forgive my rudeness. My family was hurt and I was very worried. I am confused. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Seeing such a wealthy man from Xicheng being so polite, Xu Jin was speechless and stepped aside angrily.

Adrian Chu held the handle of the long knife hanging on his waist with his left hand, staring at Wang Zhiquan with his eyes piercing, and said, "Mr. Wang, you reported the case today. If I can't find out the truth and solve the matter thoroughly during the day, I wonder how your family will spend the night? Aren't you afraid that the cat demon will come again?"

Wang Zhiquan laughed: "I have already reported to the police. Everything depends on you!"

What?

Adrian Chu was stunned. According to Mr. Wang, if the problem could not be solved during the day, they, the detectives, would have to help them stand guard at night until the problem was completely resolved?

If the problem is not solved this day, they will never be free!

Adrian Chu also got angry and said abruptly: "Mr. Wang, we are the imperial court's constables, not your guards!"

Wang Zhiquan still smiled and said: "Shouldn't the court protect big taxpayers like Wang? Commercial taxes in our court have always been heavy. Wang pays thousands of taels of silver in taxes every year!"

Adrian Chu also laughed. This man was indeed interesting and what he said made a lot of sense. He was speechless.

People have also said that those who collect taxes should provide protection to those who pay taxes. Is there anything wrong with that?

There's nothing wrong with that!

"Besides, I will not let you work in vain." Wang Zhiquan added, "After this matter is resolved, in addition to donating 1,000 taels of silver to the county government, I will also give each of you present 20 taels of silver as a token of gratitude."

When these words were spoken, many detectives' eyes lit up.

Twenty years of silver is equivalent to more than half a year's salary, and not much less than the rewards given by the county government in a year.

Very good, Adrian Chu expressed his admiration.

He couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, otherwise he would offend the detectives under his command.

People risk their lives to be constables, who are extremely dangerous, mostly for the higher salary than ordinary people. Why would he refuse the extra income that comes from a legitimate source?!

To steal someone’s money is like killing his parents!

If his EQ is so low that he offends everyone, Adrian Chu won't have to lead this team anymore, after all, people's morale is low.

He couldn't help but admire Wang Zhiquan. He might not have other skills, but he had the power of money, which made him successful in everything he did!

"Mr. Wang, I want to ask you a question and hope you can answer it truthfully." Adrian Chu suddenly changed the subject.
