"By the way, there's no news from the evil god and Kiyoji Kashiwagi yet?" After talking about the episode of Makino Uno, Qin Heqing finally asked the real thing about it.

It's been a few days, and even if you're calm, there's almost a clue at this time, right?

"Sort of." Mato sighed. It was useless for Qin Heqing to ask, and Mato Xiao took the initiative to answer, "After the exploration of the spirit detectives and witches in various places, I finally found that the fluctuations of the earth veins and water veins on the side of Kawagoe City were a little abnormal, which was very consistent with the original legend blueprint of the evil god tooth, so I notified the Saitama Prefecture branch to go to the abnormal location to investigate." ”

"The result?" Qin Heqing said curiously.

"Nothing out of the ordinary." Mato Xiao spread his hands.

"Nothing out of the ordinary?"

"At least on the surface, as well as the feedback from the instrument, there is no anomaly."

"That looks like the Evil God's Tooth is very hidden."

But think about it again. After all, no matter what, people are all elves, have the experience of being believed and sacrificed, and are one of the so-called eight million gods - even if it is just a wild god, and later because of resentment and evil thoughts, etc., it will not be able to deny the fact that it is a god, and will naturally have some special means to hide and protect themselves.

Otherwise, its standard will be too inferior, right?

Not even the so-called land gods.

"What about Kiyoji Kashiwagi? Any news? Qin Heqing asked again.

"Nope." Mato Xiao smiled bitterly.

This is even more absolute, he is a capable person who has long been on the wanted list of the Countermeasures Bureau and has been hiding from the Countermeasures Bureau's search and arrest for twenty or thirty years; not to mention his ability to survive, the experience of resisting the search and arrest of the Countermeasures Bureau and the technical aspects of counter-reconnaissance alone are not comparable to ordinary special criminals.

Not to mention the possibility of a makeover now. In other words, all the recourse information that can be applied to him in the past is basically invalid, and he can only start anew and fish from the 'ocean' little by little!

So the devil knows when we'll be able to find out this cunning guy again.

"Where's the clue?"

"It's the same at all." Mato said helplessly.

"Then I'll tell you a way, you can see if it's possible to find out his whereabouts again."

Zhen Hu Xiao didn't question it, but looked up at Qin Heqing and waited for his next step.

"We all know that Kiyoji Kashiwagi's physical body has been destroyed, so if he is not ready to change his life form and continue to exist as a non-human thing, then he will definitely need to find a new body to use as a physical body, otherwise no matter how strong and vast his spiritual power is, he will not be able to resist the erosion and interference of nature and the urban human environment."

"So?" Mato Xiao said curiously.

"So you can contact the whole country...... No, you don't need the whole country, just the police in the seven prefectures around Tokyo such as Saitama, Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Chiba, Kanagawa and Yamanashi, and focus on investigating the data of accidental deaths in these seven prefectures, just the last few days, and then investigate to see if there is anything abnormal, maybe you can find the trajectory of Kiyoji Kashiwagi, and then find his whereabouts, and even catch him himself. Qin Heqing proposed.

"Why these seven counties?" Mato Xiao wondered.

"Because of the state of Kiyoji Kashiwagi. Without a physical body, he is not suitable for long-distance travel at all, otherwise he can only maintain his existence by devouring human souls, so he can only carry out activities in the vicinity of Kokubunji City to find a suitable physical body to use. After a pause, he shook his head and added, "Of course, this matter is not absolute. Just as we can't predict whether he will choose to quit directly, we can't tell whether he will really choose people from the surrounding cities to take away, as I said, so if it is really necessary, it is really possible to ask the police from all over the country to help. It's just that the amount of work ......."

Hearing this, Zhenhu Xiao also couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, feeling that it was better to check these seven counties first.

"Oh, by the way, also, you remember to inform Mr. Tanaka when you go back, because it cannot be ruled out that Kashiwagi Kiyoji escaped from Kanto, and it is very likely that Kashiwagi Kiyoji will use means of transportation - such as planes, trains, etc. to go to Okinawa, and take advantage of the chaos there to take his body and mix with the Oda army, let him pay more attention, lest he capsize in the gutter, it will not be good." Then, Qin Heqing reminded of some kind of possibility.

"Okay, I'll call and report to Director Tanaka later." Mato Xiao said solemnly.

"Another ......"

"How?" Qin Heqing asked with a puzzled face.

"The Director may be coming back." Mato replied.

"Director? The matter over there in Okinawa is settled? Qin Heqing was surprised.

"Not yet, but it has almost entered the stalemate stage, so in the consideration of the overall situation, the director decided to lead some seriously injured people back to Tokyo first, relieve the pressure on Tokyo, and consider the future battle plan." Mato explained.

"A stalemate? The situation in Okinawa is so dire?! Wouldn't that be the same as the Shikoku battlefield a year ago? You're in a terrible situation with the Bureau. Qin Heqing sighed a little speechlessly.

The results of the Shikoku Yokai Battlefield a year ago were already there, giving the Forbidden Way a chance to breathe, and taking the opportunity to directly take the actual control of Hokkaido and most of the Kanto region, suppressing the influence of the Countermeasures Bureau over there to a minimum, if there was another Okinawa Demon Extermination War......

Qin Heqing was very skeptical that after this matter was over, the Countermeasures Bureau would directly change its appearance and completely become a departmental organization of the Cursed Dao.

It's like S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltrated by Hydra.

It's really not impossible.

"That's why the director came back early." Matoaki sighed.

"Okay, for your sake, I'll let Ayukawa and the others help you hold up for a few more days, as for ...... more" Qin Heqing shook his head - in that case, it would be better to change him to be the leader of the countermeasures bureau.

It's not like I haven't done anything like that.

……

Then in the afternoon of the same day, Qin Heqing was called to the Immortal River Library by a phone call from Machida Yuanzi again.

As for the reason, it's also very simple, sign a contract!

Sign a contract to authorize the publication, and introduce him to the editor who is specifically responsible for dealing with him-

And as Qin Heqing thought, she is a female rookie editor, and she is the kind that has just been hired not long ago, a typical rookie egg.

As for the reason? It's not that he doesn't pay attention to Qin Heqing, after all, his book has also been reviewed by other editors, and it does meet the publishing standards, and it is a book worth operating, but it is a little difficult to entrust the editor, without him, just because he is the nephew of the editor-in-chief of Machida, arrange a senior editor, it's not easy to do things, you have to worry about the existence of Machida Yuanzi, and it seems that you don't pay enough attention to it to give a newcomer, so after thinking about it, you can only bring a pure newcomer to Qin Heqing.

As for the purpose, it is naturally to circumvent some of the company's articles of association and hand over Qin Heqing to Machida Yuanzi to bring it himself.
