The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 603-604: Completing the File; Han Xia Disappears

603: Completing the File

Hahahah . .  Wu Chang didnt know what to say anymore. He was afraid that if he spoke, hed vomit blood.

Ignoring Han Xia, who was engaged in a lively conversation with the older sister, Wu Chang picked up the last file and began to read Zhao Yangs report. His face turned from green to black then black to green. Finally, he took a deep breath, and swallowed a mouthful of blood.

He read out loud, In order to catch the evil Blue Flame, the members of the fifth red team fought hard for two hours, until they prevailed against the demon and captured him.

Blue Flame, as its name suggests, emits blue flame, and is a low-level demon with a cruel nature that loves to kill. It has killed countless people and wiped out three villages. To send this demon back to the Demon realm for the Demon emperor to sentence is simply too outrageous.

For the safety of all humanity, we should directly execute this kind of monster without mercy. Cruel and ruthless monsters like Blue Flame should be punished and made to atone for their unreasonable provocations. . . 

Wu Chang swallowed a mouthful of blood. Who do you think you are? Youre just a document recorder, not a critic! Your duty is to record what you see, not add your own subjective views! What youre doing here is irresponsible and reckless!

As a recording officer, youre not there to embellish events or make up stories, nor should you inject your own opinions into the matter. This is a serious job and must be done seriously. . . 

Three hours of scolding later, the three guys were finally released to go home.

Feng Wu returned to her dorm tired.

Many students who yearned to work at Star Marshall hall gathered in Feng Wus dorm waiting for her to return.

Everyone: Is Star Marshall hall fun?

What is your job? Are you tired?

How was your first day on the job?

Feng Wu: . .  Im so tired. I dont want to talk.

The next day, Feng Wu brought her rewritten documents to the document processing department.

Feng Wu felt she made a lot of progress yesterday with Rui Babys help, so on the second day of work, Feng Wu confidently handed Wu Chang her file.

Zhao Yangs rewritten files passed without any surprises. Han Xias was so well written, Wu Chang suspected Han Xia asked Han Jiang to be a ghostwriter, however he couldnt prove it.

Wu Chang could see all three had made progress. There was still a lot more to do, but at least now there was something to work with.

Today, instead of arranging a new job for them, Wu Chang had them use the old archives room. He opened it up so they could read old accounts and learn from their predecessors.

After yesterdays scolding, Little Bun did not mention coming to work with Feng Wu again, so today Little Bun was at school and running around like it was his personal playground. The assistant principal indulged him as always.

In the old archives room, Feng Wu, Han Xia and Zhao Yang picked a corner and began their day plodding through old records.

Meanwhile, Jier and Ink were having a much better time. Jier inherited Summers envoy position and Ink was in the fifth red group. Their day was lively and exciting.

Inks dream was to work hard and become a purple ranked warrior. To be able to carry out tasks for the purple group would be the highlight of his life.

Jier was already living the highlight of his life.

Feng Wu and her two fellow interns remained knee deep in old records. Three days later, Feng Wu was the first to finish reading everything. She went to Wu Chang for a new job.

You finished reading that fast? Wu Chang was stunned. The files in the old archives room werent the only files in the hall, but they should still have taken a month to finish, right?

Wu Change suspected Feng Wu was lying, so he randomly selected a file to test her. Shockingly, she answered all his questions correctly.

Wu Chang had to admit he was wrong. There was a gem amongst the newcomers. All right then, no big deal. At worst he would take her to the main archive room. There, she could read all the nonconfidential files. If she finished those in three days, he would eat his hat.

Wu Chang was ruthless and left Feng Wu in the main room for a month until the other two finished the files in the old archives room. Then he called all three over to arrange a new job.

This time he wanted them to restore some old files. Two weeks ago, a fire damaged several records that were more than twenty years old and replacing the missing information was the document processing departments responsibility.

To supplement lost information would require contacting the relevant people involved. The cases were so old, it would be difficult to fill in the missing gaps. If it was simple, the other people in the department wouldnt have bullied the newcomers and entrusted them with it. Supplementing missing information from damaged files was the most troublesome kind of job and no one wanted it.

This thankless job was assigned to the three shiny newcomers.

The files that were damaged were about a serial murder involving several families, the mysterious disappearance of Hong village, and the massacre of a fishing village.

The three of them worked together and divided the labor. Feng Wu went to investigate the serial case, Han Xia went to investigate the village disappearance, and Zhao Yang went to investigate the village massacre.

The serial case was the most difficult to fix because there were as many as five families involved. Relatives and friends of the victims would have to be contacted for relevant details.

Fortunately, not everything in the file was burned. Feng Wu found information about the five families and went to complete the file.

The first person she visited was the mother of the woman killed. She was nearly eighty at this point, and since she was an ordinary person, her age was obvious.

Even the son was in his fifties and the grandson in his twenties.

Feng Wus arrival reminded them what they most wanted to forget.

My poor daughter, she died so tragically. The murderer stabbed her to death and didnt even spare the two-year-old child. If that child had lived, he would be twenty today. Tears filled the old womans eyes as she pulled up her most painful memories.

604: Han Xia Disappears

Although the old lady was sad remembering, she still did her best to share what information she could remember about her daughters family, hoping it would help Feng Wu.

If the files disappeared, any hope of catching the murderer would be lost, so they could not lose the precious files.

Feng Wu stayed at the old ladys house for several hours asking every question she could think of to fill in as many details as she could.

The old lady wasnt in good health and in the end, it was the deceaseds younger brother who answered Feng Wus questions.

It was a blow to the family that the murderer was still not caught after all these years.

Next, Feng Wu went to visit the other four other families and specifically asked for portraits of the victims.

By the time Feng Wu got back to school, it was already dark. She left campus to and got a few dishes from one of the small restaurants nearby.

Coincidentally, Ai Lin also just returned and was out looking for something to eat when she saw Feng Wu eating.

Ai Lin was living her best life having formed her own mercenary group with like minded individuals. They took up tasks and had all kinds of adventures.

Since entering the fourth year, everyone had their own interests and rarely saw one another.

Ai Lin was surprised to see Feng Wu, and the two girls sat together to share a meal.

Feng Wu told her about the cold case from twenty years ago and how she was trying to fill in missing information from the damaged file.

Ai Lin loved reading mystery novels. There was an unsolved serial murder case and it turned out there was a 200,000 gold reward. It was a lot of money! If she solved the case, shed be richer by 200,000!

She really wanted to solve the case so she asked Feng Wu all sorts of questions.

Feng Wu shared everything she knew. Basically, a total of five families fell victim to the murderer. The families were just your ordinary family with ordinary people.

The investigator who worked on the case at the time didnt think it was done by a magician or a sword master. Since all the victims were ordinary people, he felt the perpetrator had to also be an ordinary person. A magician or swordmaster wouldnt have bothered to kill ordinary people, even if it was to vent their anger.

No self-respecting magician or swordmaster would do such a thing.

The continent also had laws protecting ordinary people: as long as ordinary people did not take the initiative to challenge a magician or sword master, a magician or sword master could not kill ordinary people just because. Without such a law, ordinary people would have a very hard time surviving.

Being a magician was one of the most noble professions on the continent and it was impossible for one to be so bored as to target ordinary people. Therefore, it was impossible for the murderer to be a magician. Besides, the murder weapon was a sword.

As for it being a sword master, that was also unlikely. A sword master was very powerful and had great control over their weapon. Killing an ordinary person would only take seconds, but these victims died very messily, with scars all over their bodies. It didnt look like the act of a capable person.

Ai Lin looked at the relevant information and asked some more about the situations of all the families involved, especially the first family.

Based on the above reasoning by the investigator, the possibility of it being a magician or a sword master was nonexistent, therefore, it had to be an ordinary person.

Murderers like this usually chose people they knew and resented for their first kills, so the first case would have the most clues.

The information Ai Lin got was mostly from Feng Wus interviews and was not publicly available, so she promised to split the reward if she ever solved it.

After dinner, the two girls went back to their respective dorms. Feng Wu had to complete the files one by one and transcribe all the interviews over again. It was laborious and took her more than two hours to complete.

Once finished, she contacted Ming Xi and the two chatted for over half an hour before going to sleep.

As the new Moon emperor, Ming Xi was busy in the early days of ascending the throne, but thereafter, things settled down and he had been taking it easy since. Except for some particularly important tasks he needed to handle himself, everyday tasks were handled by his minister.

When Ming Xis father abdicated, the old minister also retired, which left a vacant position. The current minister was an old friend of Ming Xis.

With a super capable minister by his side, Ming Xi had it easy.

Is work in the document processing department very tiring? Xiao Wu look really tired. Ming Xi frowned and asked.

His minister to the side glanced at Ming Xi. It should be because she is unaccustomed to it. Im sure shell be fine once she adjusts.

That makes sense. Ming Xi nodded. If she was still tired after awhile, he would need to see if someone was deliberately targeting her and arranging an inordinate amount of work. After all, how could an ordinary clerical job be so tiring?

Feng Wu only completed the files she was supposed to sort out after spending all day on them. Wu Chang was very pleased with her efficiency and had praised her appropriately.

This made Feng Wu happy.

She and Zhao Yan both finished their files, but there was still no news from Han Xia. She hadnt shown up to work in three days. Something wasnt right.

Wu Change sent Feng Wu and Zhao Yan to Han Xias house to check and make sure she was OK.

They went only to find she hadnt been back in three days. Three days ago, Han Xia and her brother Han Jiang left home in a hurry and had been gone since.

This was bad news. Both missing? Could something have happened to them?

Zhao Yang rubbed his nose then said, Xiao Wu, do you think Xiao Xia took her brother to investigate the disappearance of Hong village?

Feng Wu blinked her eyes. Did she say that?

She said she wanted to solve the case so Boss Wu Chang would praise her. The day she dragged her brother out, it was probably to investigate the case together. All that time spent in the old archives reading files together gave Zhao Yang a good understanding of Han Xia.

The girl was like a tornado, loved to join in the action and make lots of noise. It looked like something happened this time.

Wow, what kind of monster is that! So cute! Zhao Yang had no resistance to small cute things. When he saw Rui Baby appear his eyes instantly flared wide with interest.

The unsolved disappearance of Hong village had been investigated over twenty years ago. Nothing was resolved back then. As a little recorder, you should just go and obediently hand in the files; not try to do more than you could handle.

Zhao Yang complained in his heart.

Feng Wu thought for a while, then said, Then lets go to the place where Hong village used to be. She might be there.

That was the only clue they had so they rushed off to where Hong village used to be.

Once they got to the old site, all they saw was bare dirt.

Never mind finding Han Xia, they couldnt even find a single person in the area.

Ever since Hong village disappeared, no one dared stay in the area because they were afraid they would disappear too.

Feng Wu and Zhao Yang checked around several times, but couldnt find anything. Feng Wu was about to leave when Rui Baby, who had just returned from the spirit world, suddenly appeared.
