Chapter 278: The Arrival of Purple Eye

These things were actually nothing, but when she thought about it carefully, there was something wrong. Su Tao was a little worried and said, “If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean that everyone can have their souls replaced? Then the world will definitely be in chaos.”
Purple Eye spoke to them through Yunbao, “This spell only takes away a person’s body for a moment. In the end, those who want to exchange souls will definitely dissipate. The sorcerer didn’t tell them about this.”
“This means that this sorcerer did this for the sake of souls. They wanted to use this method to trick people into signing an agreement so that they could legitimately take away the soul power to nourish themselves. I wonder if it was one person or a group of people who did this.”
Purple Eye’s words made Gu Lin and Su Tao start to think. They were both smart people and naturally knew what this matter would bring. The sorcerer must have other motives for collecting souls everywhere. Then what was this scheme?
After all, Su Tao was just an actress. She shook her head and said, “I don’t understand these twists and turns. Previously, the young master of the Gu family said that the government wanted to set up an investigation team. Why don’t we ask him if he has heard anything?”
When Gu Lin returned home with Yunbao after dinner, the first thing he asked was if Gu Jia was back. The servant replied, “Fifth Young Master happened to be on leave today and is talking to the young masters inside.”
When Yunbao heard this, she quickly jumped down from her eldest uncle’s arms. She lifted her skirt and rushed towards the living room. Under everyone’s surprised gazes, she accurately pounced on Gu Jia.
She rushed over too quickly and fired like a small cannonball. If Gu Jia did not usually chase after criminals, he would have fainted.
“Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, has the special investigation team you mentioned been established?” Yunbao asked anxiously.
Gu Jia did not understand why his niece was asking this, but he still answered seriously, “I’ve already started to form a team. I heard that the higher-ups have already chosen people. They all have special abilities and have received formal training. ”
Yunbao pulled a long face and said, “Then do you know that something has happened recently?!”
Perhaps because Yunbao’s tone was too exaggerated, no one cared what happened. They laughed so hard that they almost couldn’t straighten their backs.
“Don’t laugh. Let me finish,” Yunbao said helplessly.
At this moment, Gu Lin walked over and picked up Yunbao. “Alright, Yunbao is talking. Can you be more serious?”
The young masters suppressed their laughter and waited for Yunbao to continue the topic just now. However, Yunbao raised her head and said, “Hmph, I won’t say it anymore.”
Gu Lin stroked her head and said, “Let me speak for Yunbao.”
Everyone thought that it was about a child. They did not expect Gu Lin to say such a big thing. This concerned the safety of the people.
Gu Jia no longer had a cheeky expression on his face. He stood up with a whoosh and said, “I don’t know how many things will happen if people can exchange souls casually. What if someone uses someone else’s body to break the law and commit a crime? I have to report to my superior now.” Gu Lin stopped him and said, “Are you going empty-handed now?”
“Do I need to bring anything else to report?” Gu Jia did not understand.
Gu Lin sighed and said, “You have to have evidence to report it. Who will believe you if you say it without evidence? Are you going to say that the child at home saw through it?”
This rhetorical question made Gu Jia quiet down. Indeed, he did not have any evidence to prove all of this. If he rashly went to his superior and said that someone was exchanging souls, his superior would probably think that he was crazy.
“Then how should I gather evidence?” Gu Jia asked.
Gu Lin spread his hands. “You’re the captain of the criminal police team. You should be good at gathering evidence.”
Gu Jia’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. I’m the captain of the criminal police team. There’s nothing I can’t find.”
Yunbao quickly told her fifth uncle Li Xuan’s name and said, “I saw that his soul is different from his appearance, but I don’t know if he’s the person whose soul was exchanged or the person who wants to exchange his soul.”
Gu Jia smiled and said, “You can rest assured and leave this to Fifth Uncle. I’ll definitely be able to find out what’s going on in less than three days.”
Just as Gu Jia was about to leave confidently, Yunbao’s eyes suddenly turned purple. She said, “You should wait first. I have something to tell you..”
