The case of blood and fire, with limited clues, there was no good way to investigate before the owner of the compass contacted himself.

After parting ways with the Chief Justice, Gu Shen came to the Huazhi Building alone.

The next time will be very leisurely.

And Gu Shen is not good at enjoying leisure time... In other words, he can't sit still. During the days of working in Dato, he wished to break up the twenty-four hours and use them.

According to Cui Zhongcheng, he is now the officially appointed adjudicator, and can enjoy the practice field specially built for the three commissioners... In that case, Gu Shen decided to give it a try.

"Deep Sea, verify the information."

The underground elevator of the Huazhi Building requires iris verification and corresponding owner information. In other words, those who can use this elevator to go downstairs are all important "big shots" with permission.

"Deep Sea linked, serial number V340011250001, information verified..."

The dim buttons of the elevator lit up the first three floors.

Gu Shen pressed the negative third floor and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. This direct elevator to the underground reminded him of a scene from a long time ago in a third-rate movie. After the end of the world, humans spent a lot of time and money building a strong fortress hidden underground, with walls of bronze and iron, as solid as a golden soup. Only this elevator can descend to the center of the earth. When disaster strikes, the powerful hide in the "Noah's Ark" underground, watching the outside world slowly being destroyed.

When the scene from the movie appeared in reality, his mood was quite complicated.

Especially now, in a sense, he is also considered a member of the "big shots" who can squeeze into this elevator.

"I've been to the negative seventh floor after all."

The elevator arrived, and Gu Shen restrained his expression and composed himself.

The light on the negative third floor was dim, and there was faint music playing, sounding like rock?

This was somewhat unexpected for Gu Shen.

He didn't expect it to be like this... He thought it would be similar to the practice field in Dato, an empty place for practice, rows of weapons and racks. But now it seems that this place is more like an entertainment venue for transcendent individuals.

As the elevator passed through the corridor, the music grew louder.

Here... it was a bit chaotic, with transcendent individuals coming and going, each in different attire, sitting under the flashing lights, toasting and chatting. It's hard to imagine that there would be so many transcendent individuals reveling in the underground of Huazhi in the late night of Dato.

Gu Shen squinted and noticed the black jin flower emblem on the shoulders or exposed skin of these people.

"The underground of Huazhi is full of sincere people."

A deep voice came into his ears, followed by a strong arm embracing Gu Shen, and the owner of the voice asked in a puzzled and low voice, "What are you doing here?"

This was a man with a duckbill cap, the cap covering most of his face, but the floral shirt and slippers gave away his identity.

"Black Crow..."

Gu Shen was somewhat surprised, paused, and said, "Cui Zhongcheng told me... the third floor of the underground of Huazhi is a place for transcendent individuals to practice..."

As he said this, he immediately understood.

The members of the three institutions would never practice in the underground of Huazhi!

In the end, this was a "practice field" provided by a private enterprise, and the Zhao family could never represent the adjudication. The council has established many practice fields in Dato, including this one in the underground of Huazhi.

As a formal member of the adjudication, he could naturally enter, but it was obvious that more people had no choice, such as those transcendent individuals from the sincere society.

They could only go to the designated place—

The meaning of the underground.

It was the underground.

"A decent person like you shouldn't come to a place like this."

Black Crow chuckled softly, "Look at your clothes, are you a good student coming to the underground of Huazhi to study and practice? This is a bunch of drunken bums... just like the two ruffians who offended the Prince in the old city one night."

Gu Shen looked around helplessly.

Indeed.

He had already received many unfriendly and disdainful glances. The sincere society was an organization that had been mingling in the underground for years, and the members of these gangs most hated the formal members of the three institutions... It was precisely because of the council's screening mechanism that the transcendent individuals were divided into different categories.

"Will these guys come looking for trouble with me?" Gu Shen frowned.

"If I hadn't acted quickly, there would probably be another unlucky guy on your shoulder." Black Crow said lightly, "There are no rules here, but it's also the most rule-abiding. If anyone has any grievances, they can find a secluded place to resolve them."

Gu Shen suddenly realized.

He asked, "Wait a minute, you should be the leader of the North Hall of the sincere society... why are you dressed like this?"

"It's simple... because the underground of Huazhi is not only for the North Hall." Song Ci shrugged and said, "There are not many internal divisions in the sincere society. Mr. Zhao and Chen San are on the surface, pushing for 'North-South Convergence'. It sounds ridiculous, but it's actually true... Both families believe that separation has no future."

"As for why I'm dressed like this... it's because after I fought with Chen Jingtan, several 'big shots' from the South Hall have been looking for me." Black Crow couldn't help but laugh when he mentioned the three words "big shots": "Chen San has four adopted sons, so he should have some ability, but the rumors have blown it up, making it sound like he's been given a title. They have announced that they want to teach me a lesson."

"So... are you dressed like this to avoid trouble?" Gu Shen asked in a low voice.

"Of course... not." Song Ci looked disdainfully at Gu Shen and said, "Do I look like someone who's afraid of trouble? If the four of them come at me together, so what!"

"I promised my wife not to cause trouble." He sighed deeply, "A man should keep his word."

"I'm investigating the last case."The crow spoke nonchalantly, "Although my gut tells me that bastard Zhao Qi is the most likely one to have laid hands on the lady... the lady taught me to be cautious and meticulous in my actions. I've found several lucky bastards who've had the chance to be alone with the lady. In other words, they're all suspects in the lady's case."

"Here... this is the fourth one. And the last."

Song Ci pulled out a slip of paper from his bosom, on which were four names, each corresponding to a photograph. The first three names had been crossed out, leaving only the last one...

As the crow spoke, he squeezed through the crowd, eventually squinting his eyes and framing his hands to mimic a picture frame.

After comparing the photo with the actual person.

Suddenly, the crow stretched out his arm forcefully, wrapping it around another young man who was drinking. Caught off guard and choked by a mouthful of liquor, the man glared back in anger.

Clearly, the man had no idea what was about to happen.

"Pal, you've had a bit too much to drink."

Song Ci whistled softly, belched contentedly, and asked with a beaming smile, "Mind helping me to the restroom? There's a reward in it for you."
