The boy didn't respond.
Liwu sighed. She leaned down, staring like a stern school teacher. "I am Tai Liwu, the detective with all the bad luck. Do you want me to give you a hug?"
The boy let out a loud scream, pushing back, as if he could get away from her. "Ji Xiaoyu." he whispered. "Don't hug me."
Liwu was the boogeyman of the country. There were many parents that said to children, 'eat your food or I will call detective Tai Liwu to hug you.' Things like this had made her infamous.
Xuanji arrived at that moment. "I have a name for drum boy. Ji Xiaoyu, he went missing from a camping trip last week. The camp guardian filed a case but the parents said it was not big deal so there was no official search."
Liwu looked from the child to Zhou Ming. "We need to know exactly where you picked up this barrel."
Zhou Wuji's grin faltered. "I...I don't remember well. My system just said rare catch so..."
