Chapter 40

"Boss, here are two bowls of wontons."

Zhan Shuyun called Ember to sit down at the stall, "Big bowl, small bowl?"

"A big bowl." Without waiting for Ember to respond, Zhan Shuyun decided on his own, and directly asked for two big bowls, "The work you have to do after dinner will probably take some effort, so you can eat it when you are full." It's not easy to get hungry."

he explained.

"Are all your dark guards like this?"

"what?"

Zhan Shuyun pointed to the mask on Ember's face, it was wide and wide, covering the whole face, with only two holes in the eyes for seeing.

"How do you eat while wearing a mask?"

Zhan Shuyun questioned.

Ember wrapped her hands behind her head and untied a knot, took off the mask and put it on Table Mountain, "That's all right."

I saw another layer after one layer. Under the wide and tight mask was a half mask, which was small and thin, and only covered the nose and above.

Zhan Shuyun was silent, "...it's quite unique."

Pointing to his hand again, "Your gloves?"

Ember raised her lips and smiled slightly, "The gloves are not in the way."

Zhan Shuyun nodded, just as the wontons were on the table, he took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick cage, and put one pair on the bowl in front of Ember.

Ember picked up the chopsticks and asked, "Your Excellency, there should be more masters around, so why do you want to borrow me from the master?"

"I couldn't imagine what role I could play."

Zhan Shuyun waved his hand, "Eat first, I'll talk about things that need your help later."

Both of them ate very fast, Zhan Shuyun settled the bill, and took Ember to a clothing store.

"What do you need, sir?"

This kind of small ready-to-wear shop generally does not hire assistants to help, most of them are their own private workshops, so at this time there is only one shopkeeper in the shop, he greeted him enthusiastically, especially Xiang Zhan Shuyun's eyes lit up, I don't know Is it because of Zhan Shuyun's good looks or because of Zhan Shuyun's extraordinary worth.

"Recommend the clothes she wears."

Zhan Shuyun pointed to Ember.

The shopkeeper looked at the ember up and down, measured it with his eyes, clapped his hands for the last time, and exaggerated: "Oh, this girl has a very good figure, even if she wears a mask, she can be seen to be beautiful. A set made by a wife, the size should be suitable, and the girl will definitely look beautiful in it!"

The shopkeeper rummaged while talking, and finally found a set of plum red clothes from under the many clothes. He smiled brightly and asked, "How is it? Is it not bad? The color looks bright. The girl is young. You must look good in it!"

Ember didn't know what Zhan Shuyun was doing, so he asked with his eyes, but the corners of Zhan Shuyun's mouth twitched, he pressed his lips and coughed twice, and said, "The color is bright."

"Right, right, I just said that the clothes look good."

The shopkeeper raised his head, "The workmanship, material, and style of this dress are all bad, but the color picks people up, but I think this girl is really suitable. If she can hold down this color, she will definitely make her stand out." Jiao, do you want to try it first?"

Ember wanted to refuse, but couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhan Shuyun was selling in this gourd. What if the case had already started to be investigated?
After all, Zhan Shuyun wouldn't take her to buy clothes.

So Ember suppressed the doubts in her heart, and handed over all the initiative to Zhan Shuyun.

"It looks good, but the color is not conspicuous enough." Zhan Shuyun said, "Is there any bright red clothes suitable for her?"

"Yes, there are, of course there are." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "We have a lot of clothes here, just pick whatever you want!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper took out several sets of red dresses and put them over, and picked out some light yellow and orange dresses, and piled them together.

"Young master and girl, just choose!"

Ember didn't move, Zhan Shuyun took a look at her, and took the initiative to go forward to pick it up, and finally picked out a pair of red and light yellow clothes, and asked Ember: "How about these two sets?"

But obviously, Zhan Shuyun asked this question just as a formality, without waiting for Ember to respond, he directly made the decision, "Just these two sets, wrap it up."

"Okay, but do you want to try it first?"

The shopkeeper seems to be one who pays attention to credibility.

Zhan Shuyun said no, he paid the money, took the clothes and went out with Ember.

"Guest officer, please go, come again next time!"

After walking a long distance, Ember was sure that no one was following her before she asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Zhan Shuyun replied indifferently: "In the case of disappearance, the missing are women and children, and the majority of them are women. What's more, most of the missing children are girls."

Ember quickly figured out the key point, but still hesitated, and asked, "Your Excellency, you mean to use me as bait to lure them into taking the bait?"

"clever."

Zhan Shuyun thinks that she is smart, but Yu Jin doesn't think that Zhan Shuyun is smart, instead he thinks that he can come up with this idea because of his mental illness.

"Fishing is not something that can be hooked in a short time." And generally speaking, abductees need to determine their identity and activity track, and it's not something that can be done just by looking at them on the street.

Zhan Shuyun nodded to express his understanding, "So you have to work hard for a few days."

So, this is a long-term fishing campaign.

Fishing activities include but are not limited to arranging an identity and residence, wearing eye-catching clothes and going out twice a day to increase the probability of being noticed, and always keeping an eye out for suspicious persons and reporting them to Zhan Shuyun in time.

The more Ember thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was bad, "This kind of fishing behavior is no different from finding a needle in a haystack."

Zhan Shuyun didn't care, "It's just an act of finding a needle, but it's just another way to try."

Although Zhan Shuyun never cared about her arrogance and rudeness, in fact, in terms of identity, Zhan Shuyun was the official Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the official residence was the fourth rank, while she was just a secret guard. Bi, it is a master and a servant, she has no room for bargaining.

Moreover, since the Duan family agreed to Zhan Shuyun's request, they also acquiesced in all his arrangements for her, and she could not refuse either.

So that day, Ember followed Zhan Shuyun to a house that had been arranged earlier, and changed into red clothes to go out to buy vegetables.

But what surprised Ember was that Zhan Shuyun never asked Ember to take off his mask from the beginning to the end.

Since he didn't mention it, Ember took it as his tacit consent, and held the vegetable basket in one hand with the glove off, while the other was half hidden in the sleeve, leaving only four fingers exposed.

As Ember expected, this fishing operation was indeed a long-term one. Three days in a row, Ember went out every day to buy vegetables, negotiate prices, and deliver meals to farmers and couples in the fields. Nothing happened.

Ember was a little worried.

There is always no movement, and she can't stay here all the time, after all, Miss Duan's family can't live there all the time if she goes to the Tianxun Temple in the suburbs to drive away the dark and pray for blessings.
