Chapter 869
869 Supernatural detective Corporation
Xia Pingan took quite a long time to merge with the realm Pearl ” Tao Hongjing’s enlightenment “. By the time he finished merging with the realm Pearl and left 169 Binhu Street, it was already evening.
Although 169 Binhu Street was not a bad place, it had not been cleaned and tidied up yet. It was uninhabitable. Xia Pingan could only leave first and prepare to come back tomorrow to clean it up personally. Then, he could move in.
Of course, for a Summoner, the best way was to summon a servant to be responsible for the cleaning and housework in the villa, and also to look after the house. The so-called servant was actually the ordinary farmers or craftsmen in the secret mandala. They could all do such a job. If the craftsmen were the servants, their work could be more delicate. However, he thought that it would take at least 30 points of divine power to summon a farmer. Xia Pingan dispelled this idea.
In the eyes of the investigation Bureau, his divine power in the secret mandala was at most 10 points. He had just consumed it in the prison.
Three divine power points, so he only had seven divine power points at most. If he suddenly ” extravagantly ” used dozens of divine power points to summon a servant, it would probably make people suspicious, and he might become the subject of investigation.
So, let’s wait for Yingluo
Xia Pingan had dinner outside and went to a bar to have a drink. She familiarized herself with the situation in the city. A bar was the best place to reflect the customs of a place, and she could hear many interesting things from the conversations of the people in the bar after drinking too much.
Xia Pingan only left the bar after a few drinks when it was almost ten O ‘clock. He walked back to his place alone.
To be honest, Xia Pingan really hoped that two heinous desperadoes would jump out and give him some divine power when he was walking alone at night or drinking. However, the security in corand was still okay, and it wasn’t that chaotic. At least, he didn’t encounter any bad people that were worth his time.
When they returned to the Simon couple’s family hotel, it was already dark. The Simon couple had already gone to bed early. Xia Pingan returned to his room, took a shower, and went to sleep. He did not speak for the entire night.
The next day, Xia Pingan once again came to 169 Binhu Street. He rolled up his sleeves and began to clean the villa by himself. After half a day, the villa was almost cleaned up. Those who needed to be washed, washed, and those who needed to be basked in the sun, it was quite a fulfilling life.
After tidying up the villa, Xia Pingan found a nearby booking point and left the address of 169 Binhu Street. He ordered a copy of the ‘brandy daily’ and went to a workshop a few kilometers away to find a bronzeman who made signs and custom-made a signboard.
On the third day, Xia Pingan bid farewell to the Simon couple and moved to 169 Binhu Street alone. He bought some ingredients and made dinner for the first time in the villa.
There was running water and gas in the villa. The running water and gas here could only be used by paying a fee. It was very interesting. The meter was outside the villa. It was two solid iron boxes with a mechanical meter device inside. At least five dings of coins were put in each time before the switch of the iron box opened. The villa would be connected with water and gas. When the consumption limit of the five dings was used up, the switch would turn off, and money would have to be put in again to use it.
The staff of the water company and gas company in Keland would go outside the villa every day to open the toll box to take money. Of course, those toll boxes might be damaged occasionally, but this was rare, because the crime of damaging the toll box was the same as robbing a bank, and the money stolen was only 5-dings. Unless one was a fool, no one would rob a bank for 5-dings.
if only Zhaojun was here, ” Xia Pingan said as he looked at the few simple ingredients on the empty dining table. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. It would be best if he could summon Wang Zhaojun. Wang Zhaojun was smart and capable, and she could manage this place well by herself. If he wanted to be a fortune-teller, Wang Zhaojun could also be his assistant. However, Xia Pingan looked at the divine power points required to summon Wang Zhaojun, the only person in the world. He immediately gave up on the idea. He needed 1480 points of divine power to summon Wang Zhaojun, and Xia Pingan could not do it at all.
After dinner, Xia Pingan remembered that he had not read the daily newspaper yet. He walked out of the villa and went to the mailbox outside. When he opened the mailbox, he saw a copy of the daily newspaper in it.
After reading the daily newspaper, there was still no mission from Mr. Coin. It seemed that the night watchman’s mission was not often available, and he had a lot of time to do other things.
The next morning after Xia Pingan checked in to 169 Binhu Street, Xia Pingan had just eaten the millet porridge breakfast that he had cooked when the villa’s doorbell rang from outside. It made a clear and melodious sound of ding dong ding dong.
Xia Pingan walked to the door and opened it. She saw a man in his forties with brown hair, wearing light blue overalls, overalls, and a yellow cap standing outside the door. This man was holding something wrapped in cloth in one hand. A young apprentice with a freckled face, about 15 or 16 years old, was standing behind this man with a movable escalator and a toolbox in his hand.
Mr. Xia, I’ve finished the things you ordered on time. Please take a look. the man took off his hat as soon as he saw Xia Pingan. A simple smile appeared on his face. Then, he opened the thing wrapped in cloth in his hand and held it with both hands for Xia Pingan to take a closer look. this signboard has been made according to your wishes. Take a look. Are you satisfied? ”
It was a brass signboard that was two feet long and one foot long. It looked very heavy and had a simple aura. On the brass signboard, there was a line of words that protruded out: ” Phoenix paranormal detective Corporation.
The paranormal firm was the name used by the fortune-tellers in this world, just like the names of all kinds of law firms. The most important function of the paranormal firm was to solve dreams and perform divinations. Besides that, such a firm would also undertake some special commissions like spirit mediums or private detectives, such as soul-soothing and people-searching.
Xia ping ‘an had also wanted to open another building of Zhou Gong. However, after careful consideration, he found the name of the building of Zhou to be too strange and obscure. Most people would find it difficult to understand, and it would not be easy for people to remember it and expand their business. Moreover, this name would easily expose his true identity. Therefore, after some consideration, he decided to follow the local customs and named it’ Phoenix paranormal detective Corporation ‘
Phoenixes could reincarnate in flames, and they were also one of the divine objects worshipped by the Chinese. Xia Pingan hoped that he could also reincarnate from a mortal to a God in this trip to the heavenly realm and complete his plan to mend the heavens.
The man who was holding the bronze signboard was the blacksmith that Xia Pingan had found yesterday to make the signboard. Today, he had finished making the signboard and personally delivered the item to the address that Xia Pingan had left behind.
Mr. Bach, thank you for your hard work. I’m very satisfied with this sign! Xia Pingan looked at the copper sign and nodded in satisfaction.
“Then, where do you think we should hang this sign?”
Xia Pingan pointed to the wall on the right side of the door. it’ll be better to hang it here, Yingluo.
“Fine, I will hang this sign here!” As the craftsman spoke, he called the apprentice beside him to place the ladder at the door. He then took out the other tools from the box and started to fix the hanging nails on the wall at the door of the villa so that the signboard could be placed properly.
While the craftsmen were busy with their work, Xia Pingan came to the mailbox at the door. He opened the mailbox and took out today’s ‘brandy daily newspaper’.
Xia Pingan quickly flipped through it and was shocked. He took a deep breath and finally saw the mission given to him by Mr. Coin in the item-seeking revelation of the brandy daily. His mission as a night watchman had finally arrived.
Right then, the female neighbor of unit 168 walked out of the villa with her dog. At the sight of the copper sign on the wall, she stopped on the sidewalk and started to look at it with a curious look.
“Ah, Mr. Xia, you’re also an clairvoyant?” The female neighbor asked in surprise. Her eyes were sparkling, as if she had discovered some interesting gossip.
