It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

"Oh?" Zhang Si County's eyes lit up when he heard what Zhou An said: "Zhou An, what can you do?"

Zhou Andao: "If a person wants to erase his history, it does not exist, because he himself exists in this world."

"Any stay for a period of time will leave clues. Mr. Zhang might as well try to start with the few people we have come into contact with, including his wives and concubines, including Feng Ye."

This is Zhou An's idea.

There is no absolute perfection in this world.

As long as you have left traces in the world, everything will be traceable. The only difference is whether it is hidden or not.

From beginning to end, the mysterious man has indeed never appeared and there is no trace, but that doesn't mean there are no clues.

His wives and concubines, including Qingliu Village, are all clues.

Hearing this, Zhang Si County fell into deep thought. After a moment, he nodded and said: "This is the only plan for now. Zhou An, will you investigate with us?"

Zhou An shook his head: "I won't go, Mr. Zhang, don't forget my identity. I'm just a detective, and you are the professionals in this line of work. Whether it's intelligence or other things, you guys are better than me." many."

As the saying goes, leave professional matters to professionals.

In terms of being able to fight, Zhou An can fight a bunch of people one by one, but when it comes to finding people to find clues, he is better at suppressing spooks.

You can't share the intelligence with me, can you?

If that's the case, I can check it out together.

Instead of doing useless work, it is better to seize the time and improve the cooking skills.

What's more, we have to buy equipment tomorrow, which is an important part.

"gone."

Zhou An did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.

As for the aftermath, Zhangsi County and others will naturally handle it.

They were professional in handling the aftermath.

…

After leaving Zhenguisi, Zhou An went to Chunxiao Tower.

The detective at Chunxiao Tower is still asleep.

"That's good, it saves me the trouble of making excuses."

Zhou An found a place and quickly blended into the group of sleepy agents.

Another stick of incense passed by.

One after another, police officers woke up.

Zhou An also woke up appropriately.

When something like this happened, the detectives were naturally panicked.

Even the old detective who took the lead looked panicked.

Inexplicable coma, what is this called?

Fortunately, the old catcher is also experienced.

A method soon came to mind.

If you are in doubt, report it to the police!

This is the easiest solution to the problem and the least responsible.

So, Zhou An and the others asked a few perfunctory questions before heading to the Yamen again.

In the Yamen, the policeman who stayed behind has not left yet.

When County Magistrate Chen heard what the old detective said, he immediately waved his hand and made a decision.

——Leave it to Zhengui Si!

This matter was obviously beyond the scope of the yamen, and County Magistrate Chen pushed it aside very cleanly.

"This old guy is shirking responsibility again."

Nowadays, the secretaries of Anding County and Town already have too many debts to worry about, and it doesn't matter if they add another debt.

"Spare value!"

After County Magistrate Chen arranged the manpower for notification, he immediately issued the order to disperse the value.

The detectives also enjoyed their leisure time.

You've already been told to take a break, so you can't still work overtime, right?

These days, you can only make a profit by fishing for money.

Zhou An and Yu Hang returned home together.

"Old Zhou, I always feel that something big is going to happen." Yu Hang was uneasy.

In the past few days, he always felt flustered.

All kinds of bizarre things happened one after another. Not only him, but other detectives had more or less ideas.

Zhou An touched his chin: "Don't scare yourself. Even if something big happens, it has nothing to do with you. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. Why are you panicking?"

This was the only way he could comfort him.

Yuhang didn't have the threshold to enter, so it was useless to care about it.

The two parted ways.

When I got back to the house, it was extremely late.

Originally, I was called away in the middle of the night, and after working on it for a long time, it was not far from dawn.

Zhou An thought, there has been a trend recently of storms coming.

It's too late to catch up on the drowsiness now, it's better to continue the liver.

Thinking of this, Zhou An took out the dough and continued carving.

The night passed quickly.

…

The next day.

Zhou An watched the slightly improved Chef Ding show off his skills. After washing up, he went out.

As usual, the noodle stall ordered two bowls of noodles.

Not long after, Ye Shuang arrived in gray clothes.

"Zhou An! Morning, morning!"

Ye Shuang waved her hand, sat opposite Zhou An, picked up the chopsticks, and took a bite with a happy smile on her face.

This girl is completely different from the frosty Mr. Ye last night.

"You have quite a lot of talismans." Zhou An said smoothly.

Last night, Feng Ye was beaten violently by Ye Shuang, and the land seemed to have been renovated, which gave Zhou An a new understanding of Ye Shuang's combat power.

"It's okay, just some small tricks, Zhou An, you are the master." Ye Shuang took another mouthful of noodles.

Zhou Anle was delighted: "You can still praise others?"

This girl is quite sincere when she praises others, which makes her feel very comfortable.

"I'm not praising you..." Ye Shuang put down her chopsticks and propped her chin up with her hands, her eyes shining brightly.

"Among the masters I've seen, your ability is really special..."

As he spoke, Ye Shuang clapped his fingers.

"Look, you are very fast with your sword, you can use an iron pot as a weapon, and you have body skills like a swimming dragon. The key is that you are still young..."

Ye Shuang was like a child, counting one by one.

After counting for a long time, she realized that she had not eaten a few bites of noodles, so she quickly stopped counting and started eating.

"Eat slowly." Zhou An tapped his chopsticks: "You didn't go to investigate together today?"

"Master Zhang and the others are going to investigate from Qingliu Village, but I won't go." Ye Shuang shook his head.

Zhou An said strangely: "Aren't you here specifically to check? Why don't you go?"

Ye Shuang said seriously: "You cannot exceed your authority."

Overstepping one's authority is a very serious matter in the Chu Kingdom.

There are three pillars: the National Preceptor, the Chief Secretary, and the Prime Minister.

Emperor Xingwu would never allow anything beyond his authority to occur.

Ye Shuang is here to supervise and cooperate. If it goes any further, it won't work.

Zhou An also understood the meaning and said: "Then eat quickly. I have to order some mao after eating."

Ye Shuang said oh, and Kuku continued to eat.

Soon, I finished my breakfast and paid the bill.

Zhou An went to the Yamen to order.

The atmosphere in the yamen today is a bit heavy.

If the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold it up. This is true.

But it is impossible to say that I am not worried about this matter.

Zhou Anxin is older and is practicing the cooking technique in the kitchen as usual.

After practicing until noon, Zhou An had lunch and then went to the blacksmith shop.

Today, he had to type everything out.

The blacksmith shop is still the same.

"Master Zhou, you are here."

The guy at the door said hello.

After going back and forth, even the clerk became familiar with Zhou An.

Zhou An replied and went to the inner courtyard.

The sound of ding-ding-dong-dong sounded in the blacksmith shop.

Tiejiang Zhao is a very hard-working man.

The blacksmith who faced the three hardships in life fell on Blacksmith Zhao. Blacksmith Zhao never cried out about the hardships.

To be honest, Zhou An has been practicing for so long and has experienced a lot.

Just because of the fire roasting aspect, many people will be put off.

"Master Zhou, here we come." Blacksmith Zhao put down the hammer and pointed to the corner: "I have already finished all the iron materials you asked me to buy."

Zhou An nodded and looked towards the corner of the room.

In the corner, there is a large amount of iron materials piled up.

"Old Zhao, you have a good idea. The purchasing channels are quite wide." Zhou An said with a smile.

Blacksmith Zhao scratched his head and said naively: "Sir, you are joking. This is not a channel."

If you want to live well, everyone has his or her own tricks.

Zhou An didn't pursue it either.

He moved all the materials to the smaller anvil.

At this time, Blacksmith Zhao had finished his work and came over.

"Sir, what do you want to do?"

Zhou An didn't shy away from it either.

"A pair of armor, a knife, and a pan, the size of a palm."

This was the three-piece suit he wanted to create.

The first is armor, which is a must.

To improve defense, this is the first choice.

Next is the knife, a good knife, combined with the fusion casting method, when using the Paoding Jie Niu Dao, the improvement is huge.

Finally, the pan.

Zhou An thought about it carefully. Anyway, as long as he can bend, the smaller the better.

It is palm-sized and can be hung around the waist, which is more convenient.

He has even climbed over the eight-meter-tall leader of the Beast Cult.

It doesn't matter the size of the pot, as long as it can be knocked over, it can kill people.

"Sir, do you have a rough drawing?" Blacksmith Zhao asked again.

Zhou An asked this question.

Knives and pans, these two are easy to say, ordinary styles will do.

Only this armor needs a little design.

"It's hidden and can be worn inside." Zhou An thought for a while and said.

Zhou An felt that armor should not be worn outside.

He is not a soldier marching to fight.

Isn't it nonsense for a police officer and an ordinary person to wear armor every day outside?

And this is equivalent to telling others that they have armor and defense.

I did this because my brain was throbbing.

This is no different from calling out the name of a move before a fight. It's completely ironic.

At that time, the enemy will have to take his armor into account, which is a trap for himself.

When Blacksmith Zhao heard what Zhou An said, he thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, Mr. Zhou can make a pair of soft armor."

"Oh?" Zhou An touched his chin: "How to make it?"

Blacksmith Zhao began to explain.

According to Blacksmith Zhao, the production method of this soft armor is extremely complex.

First of all, the soft armor is made of two layers, with a filling in the middle. The outside and inside are made of iron wires made of iron materials and densely woven.

The filling in the middle can be used for cushioning, while the woven one can be used for defense.

In addition, because it is soft armor, it is very comfortable to wear inside and cannot be seen from the outside.

Although the defense is slightly weaker than hard armor, it is more convenient.

After listening to what Blacksmith Zhao said, Zhou An raised his eyebrows: "Old Zhao, you are not simple."

A man who makes farm tools is actually proficient in making soft armor. The twists and turns involved are not something that can be explained simply.

Blacksmith Zhao said: "Sir, everyone has some secrets. For example, you yourself are not simple either."

Zhou An waved his hand: "I don't care about your secrets, as long as you don't antagonize me."

This Blacksmith Zhao should have some background.

But Zhou An didn't care.

Zhou An won't hold on until he's full and has to take care of everything.

After Tiejiang Zhao finished speaking, he left and continued to do his own things.

Zhou An was not idle either and started casting.

After obtaining the fusion casting method, Zhou An has become more and more proficient in crafting.

From the moment I picked up the hammer, I felt blessed and started hammering quickly.

The sound of clanking echoed continuously.

Throughout noon, Zhou An was forging iron in the blacksmith shop.

Until the afternoon was about to come, Zhou An quenched the palm-sized pan.

Light blue smoke floated.

Zhou An looked at the three-piece suit in front of him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

A piece of soft armor, including the lower body.

An ordinary black iron long knife.

A palm-sized pan.

Just these three items took Zhou An's whole afternoon.

Zhou An took off his coat and put on the soft armor.

The next moment, an indescribable feeling appeared.

He found that there was a vague connection between himself and Ruan Jia.

The soft armor's defense increased by 10%.

This is the power of fusion +1, a percentage increase.

After Zhou An finished feeling it, he put on his police uniform.

From the outside, there is no difference.

He picked up the knife and pan next to him.

The same connection emerges.

Now, when he uses the Pao Ding Jie Niu Knife Technique and Bian Wu, the power he can exert has also increased by 10%.

A 10% improvement represents a qualitative change.

"Unfortunately, my proficiency has not improved."

Level three is a watershed.

Once you reach level three, you have no choice but to find another way.

Fusion casting method, you have to use other methods.

In fact, Zhou An could ask Blacksmith Zhao, but time does not allow it now.

It's almost afternoon.

There will be plenty of time to ask in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou An left the blacksmith shop and headed to the Yamen.

The yamen is still the same as before, and everyone is worried.

Zhou An went to the kitchen again and began to cook and cook.

The only difference is that his knife has been replaced and there is still a pan hanging on his waist.

Speaking of this knife, Zhou An made it according to the policeman's knife.

The long knives used by police officers in Anding County do not have the unique style of the official family, but are common in the Jianghu.

Zhou An threw the old knife into the blacksmith shop and came back with a new knife.

As long as no one is using it, there will be no problem with hardness.

As for the pan…

"Hey, isn't this a part-time cook recently? Is he in love? Let's make a small pendant to hang."

A palm-sized pan can be used as a pendant.

Zhou An felt a little sore in his arms after spending an afternoon practicing knife skills.

[Pao Ding’s knife skills (speed +2, accuracy +2) lv.4: 1882/60000]

"There is a long way to go."

Zhou An sighed with emotion.

It’s time for dispersion.

Zhou An didn't stop, and rushed home with Yu Hang.

After returning home, he started to cook and cook as usual.

The more proficiency you have, the more energetic Zhou An will be.

While Zhou Angan and Chef Ding were mastering their skills, Suppressing the Spies was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

…

Inside the Zhengui Division.

Zhang Sixian, Capt. Xie, and all the members of the Zhensi were sifting through the massive amount of intelligence.

It contains all kinds of information.

On everyone's desk, there is information as tall as one person.

Everyone was reading through it.

After listening to Zhou An's words, Zhang Si County was looking for clues in the massive amount of information.

As they were flipping through the pages, a member of the Town Spies suddenly stood up.

"Sir, there is something fishy here!"
