Demon detective

Chapter 158 Mutual Aid
"Are you sure... this is the formula of Huihun Pill? There is such a medicine in the world?" Li Chan'er looked at the prescription written in crooked handwriting, naturally suspicious.

"There is, but it's not as miraculous as the legends say," Xu Zhen said. "It can only relieve the pain and last for a while. It can't eradicate the disease, let alone bring the dead back to life."

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Li Chan'er's face.

It turned out that after being diagnosed by many famous doctors, Li Sixiong was terminally ill and time was running out.

After the Ghost Face Killer incident, he suffered severe injuries and became terminally ill.

It was also for this reason that Li Chan'er did not take the risk of leaving Yanping with Li Sixiong, and temporarily committed herself to the secret room of the Escort.

With Li Sixiong's current body, he can't stand the fatigue of boats and cars at all. Once he is on the road, he is really "on the road".

Just now, Li Chan'er thought that Xu Zhen's soul-returning pill could save her father's life, but she didn't expect it to be all in vain after all, so she was naturally disappointed.

However, seeing her father suffering from illness these past few days, Li Chan'er was also very anxious.If this prescription can really relieve the pain, it can be regarded as a little relief.

Therefore, Li Chan'er's gloomy face finally eased, and she said to Xu Zhen:

"Xu Zhen, in the woods, why are you uttering wild words? You don't want to continue now, do you?"

Li Chan'er said it cryptically, but she was actually asking Xu Zhen, why do you insist on chasing me?Don't you still want to chase now?
"Miss Li," Xu Zhen clasped his fists quickly, and then said seriously, "I did that to scare you away, because I suspect that there are gangsters among the entourage!"

"Oh?" Li Chan'er was surprised, "So what if I have accomplices? I'm afraid they won't succeed?"

"No," Xu Zhen said, "Meng Qingxi told me a name before he died, and that was Meng Qinghui..."

In this way, Xu Zhen told Li Chaner all his findings and conjectures about the case in detail, but only the last sentence was not accurate.

"So..." Xu Zhen finally said, "I don't want those traitors to know too much about you and bring you danger!

"Although Miss Li has excellent martial arts skills, the other party is an evil organization after all. They are good at poisoning in the dark. If I am harmed by them, that's fine, but I must not implicate you!"

"Oh," however, Xu Zhen's careful thoughts were clearly seen by Li Chan'er, and Miss Li immediately glanced at Xu Zhen angrily, "To put it bluntly, you are scared and want me to protect you. Isn't Fa a little too dishonest?"

"That's wrong," Xu Zhen said sternly, "A small bottle of medicine can poison so many people, and they are well-organized and hidden so deeply, they must have no good intentions!
"It's my job to eradicate such an evil organization, but the enemy's martial arts skills are too high, their abilities are too great, and they can't even guarantee their own safety. How can we eradicate the evil?

"So...Xu Zhen kindly asks Miss Li for help!"

After saying that, Xu Zhen clasped his fists to Li Chan'er again.

After clasping her fists together, Li Chan'er stopped talking. Although her face was still as cold as ice, she seemed to be thinking about Xu Zhen's request.

"Xu Zhen," Li Chan'er asked after a long time, "this time you asked me for help because you met a master. But the last time you went to Yaochang Village to solve a mass poisoning case, there was no danger at that time, why did you invite me to go with you?" ?”

"Baihu," Xu Zhen said without hesitation, "because I want to prove to you that seeing a white fox is not necessarily a bad thing!"

"It seems..." Li Chan'er frowned lightly, "Have you encountered any good things?"

What Li Chan'er meant was, isn't it because you saw the white fox that you provoked the evil organization now?

"This... one size counts for one size," Xu Zhen hurriedly argued, "In the end, I used the white fox to get Meng Qingxi to tell the truth. The white fox is just a demon in the heart, and we have to be the ones who really control our destiny."

Xu Zhen's words were obviously meant for Li Chan'er.

This white fox is just like Li Chan'er's inner demon. She always thinks that her elder brother is a ghost-faced killer, her father is terminally ill, and the bodyguard agency closed down overnight, all because she saw that white fox.

And Xu Zhen wanted to use the solution to the collective poisoning case in Yaochang Village to prove that the evil in the world already exists and has nothing to do with the white fox.

It has to be said that upon hearing Xu Zhen's words, Li Chan'er was indeed relieved a lot.

Even if she hadn't seen the white fox, it was impossible to change the reality.

It was precisely because of this relief that she felt a wave of fluctuation in her heart, and she felt a little more strange about this arrester Xu Zhen.

"Then..." Li Chan'er seemed to be trying to cover up her inner turmoil, and asked instead, "What does that red lotus... look like?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Zhen quickly took out a piece of paper from his cuff, on which was the red lotus flower he had drawn himself, "Miss Li is well-informed, see if you recognize what kind of evil organization this is? "

Li Chan'er took it and looked at it for a long time, but shook her head repeatedly.

Xu Zhen had already been mentally prepared. After all, this thing is not even recorded in "Xuan Dao", so it is not surprising that Li Chan'er has never seen it.

"Look." However, this gave Xu Zhen more reasons, "Even you haven't seen it, which means that this evil organization is very evil!"

"But..." Li Chan'er said, "You know, my father is seriously ill, even if I want to help you, but..."

"I've thought about this a long time ago," Xu Zhen said, "I have a way to get the best of both worlds, which can perfectly solve this problem."

"What way?" Li Chan'er asked.

"Miss Li, I have tidied up all the house," Xu Zhen seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and immediately said cheerfully, "Move to live in my house!"

"You?" Li Chan'er was annoyed, she waved her fly whisk and tried to hit her, "I just gave you a good face, and you fell ill again?"

"Hey," Xu Zhen quickly waved his hand, "You listen to me! When I finish speaking, it's not too late for you to fight!"

"Okay," Li Chan'er gritted her silver teeth, "Say it!"

"I mean, let you bring Mr. Li to live with me at my house," Xu Zhen explained, "The secret room is cloudy and damp, and it's freezing cold, so how can it be suitable for recuperating?
"Besides, it's inconvenient for you to have food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and there are still many people who hate the Escort outside to make trouble, which is even more detrimental to recuperation.

"Hey, what if you move to my house?" Xu Zhen gestured, "The single houses in the backyard are all neatly tidied up, and there is also a garden. They live comfortably, with good sunlight and air!
"Also, I have servants and a cook at home, and I take care of all the daily necessities, the food is delicious, does it mean that if you eat well, you will be in good health?

"In addition, my servants are strict about their mouths and confidentiality, so I can guarantee that no one will disturb you. Then, wouldn't it be convenient for you to practice something or something?

"As for me, I am now a yamen arrester, and I am highly appreciated by the county magistrate. Even if someone knows that Mr. Li is in my house, no one will dare to make trouble. How good is it?"

"This……"

Li Chan'er couldn't help being moved, because Xu Zhen's guess was right, she was indeed facing many difficulties at present, and it was really not good for her father's recovery.

However, without moving her face, she snorted coldly and said, "I see, you want to use me to protect you and your family, right?"

"So I said the best of both worlds earlier!" Xu Zhen clapped his hands, and then corrected, "However, we are not taking advantage of each other, this is proper mutual assistance and mutual love! Hehe..."

"Bah!" Li Chan'er said angrily, "What kind of mutual help and love? If you still speak freely in the future, then I won't help you!"

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Xu Zhen was overjoyed, because Li Chaner naturally agreed to him when he said that.

"Then..." Li Chan'er said, "I'm going to tell my father right now, and my second uncle is with me. Let's pack our luggage and go find a carriage!"

"That..." Xu Zhen pointed to the main entrance of the Escort Bureau, "The carriage has already been prepared, and I will let the driver drive in directly!"

"You..." Only then did Li Chan'er realize that Xu Zhen had come prepared long ago...
