I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 64 The Cruel Truth

The night was like a veil, shrouded layer by layer, and the whole city was floating in the dim light.

He Si held the fried chicken in one hand and the phone in the other. She stood on the roadside and dialed Jiang Huai's number first.

"Are you still at Fan Yu's place?"

"Well, I'm waiting for Brother Fan to arrange it. I don't know when Wu Yizhi will be brought here." Jiang Huai's sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone, with a confused tone as if he had just been awakened from a dream.

But He Si ignored the politeness and asked straight to the point: "You said that Lin Huan helped you prepare the gift for your birthday. Have you ever opened it?"

"No, I always feel at ease when Xiaolin does things. Besides, it's just two bottles of wine. There's nothing to check."

"Then when you were discussing the structure of the secret room with Huang Haiping and Wu Yizhi, was Lin Huan there?"

"This..." Jiang Huai hesitated, "Sometimes she is here, sometimes she is not. She has to help me with various chores. She is often busy, and I have never paid attention to her so carefully."

"Have you discussed those mathematical stories of yours with Lin Huan?"

He Si asked the third question. There was silence on the other end of the phone, obviously hearing her intention.For a long time, He Si thought that her call had been disconnected, and then she heard Jiang Huai ask on the other end of the phone: "He Si, what do you mean by asking these questions? It can't be her, Xiao Lin is not that kind of person."

"Do you know Lin Huan likes you?"

After He Si finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving Jiang Huai a chance to explain.She didn't need an answer at all, or in other words, they already had the answer in their hearts.

He Si sighed and suppressed the sadness that kept rising in her heart. Just when she was about to make a second call, her phone vibrated, and the words "Mr. Qin" began to flash.

"It's Lin Huan."

"Where are you, I'll pick you up."

The moment the call was connected, the two of them spoke at the same time. The sound waves passed through the air, collided together, and after several pulls, they went to their destinations.

"I'm in front of KFC."

"Then just stand there and wait for me."

"Yeah." He Si's voice was muffled or not because of the wind.

"In a moment, if you want to see Mr. Qin like me, I'll look like you." The voice on the other end of the phone was soft and soft, showing an unprecedented degree of flattery, deliberately tugging at He Si's heartstrings.

Before the sadness in He Si's heart could dissipate, a hint of sweetness suddenly came over her. She thought about it and felt that she was shameless, but she still answered honestly: "The way you look."

There were no more words from the other end of the phone, only two chuckles, and then a busy signal sounded.

He Si hung up the phone and felt very hungry, so she took out a hamburger from the bag and stuffed it into her mouth against the cold wind.The girl ate without caring about the eyes of others, her cheeks bulging with the fragrant junk food.Oil and carbon water mingled between her lips and teeth, and the dissipated power returned to her body along with the food. He Si was like a chipmunk, narrowing her eyes in contentment.

When Qin Jian arrived, he saw such a scene.

"Ah Si." He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and his originally leisurely steps became longer and longer, "Are you so hungry?"

As if to match He Si, Qin Jian disappeared from the ancient robes he wore and put on an extremely ordinary pure black casual suit.He is less mysterious and reserved than before, but a lot more angry. He really looks like a college student.The autumn wind blew the broken hair on his forehead, softening the sharp lines of his face, and the coldness was much lighter. Coupled with the smile in his eyes, it actually made people feel close to him.

He Si swallowed the last bit of fried chicken in her mouth because of the beauty, and asked: "Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Oh." He Si looked down at her empty bag and regretted why she asked.But the question had already been spoken, and it was difficult to take it back, so I had no choice but to say, "You... why did you change your clothes on purpose?"

Qin Jian looked down at himself and seemed unable to accept it for a moment. He thought for a long time before replying: "Backward compatible."

"No, no, it's quite beautiful."

"What's your opinion?" Maybe it was because of his clothes, but Qin Jian's solemn face became lively, and he asked He Si seriously.

"Look, look young."

"Is this the only thing that looks good?"

"How about I go buy you another burger."

Qin Jian finally couldn't help laughing and handed the phone to He Si: "No need, I still have something to do. The road here is narrow and it is inconvenient for cars to drive here. I originally wanted to ride a shared bicycle, but I don't know how to operate it. I'm sorry. Ah Si."

He Si felt like her neck was getting hot, and she started to lower her head and carefully unlock the shared bicycle.

"Well, then you lead the way and let's go."

He Si was on the hot search on the campus network yesterday, and now the two of them were dating in such a high-profile manner outside a busy commercial district, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, but neither of them paid attention.He Si had no time to care, while Qin Jian was too lazy to care. The two of them just rode side by side towards the south gate of the school.

The cold wind blew away the heat on He Si's face and made her sober. Only then did she remember and ask, "Shall we go by car instead of walking through the corridor of mirrors?"

"The Mirror Gallery has been used too frequently these days, I'm afraid you can't stand it," Qin Jian said, "Besides, their service point here is not far away, and when we go there, we have to take over from Fan Yu's shift. If Fan Yu checked quickly, we are about to enter the Mirror Realm, can you bear it?"

He Si then realized that Qin Jian was talking about the parasitic beast behind Fan Yu, and also realized that Qin Jian was going to take her on a mission again. If their speculation was correct, tonight would be the decisive battle.He Si felt a sense of expectation in addition to her uneasiness, and nodded immediately.

"Lin Huan's matter..."

"Don't think about it yet." The two returned the shared bicycle. Qin Jian sat on the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt in a proper manner, and then said, "Please take a nap for a while."

The car began to start slowly, and the surrounding trees receded in the night, gradually becoming a moving phantom outside the window.The scent of sandalwood came from the front of the car, sometimes strong and sometimes light. He Si's eyelids, which had been holding on, drooped twice and gradually closed.The driver checked the sleeping face in the reflector before finally starting to drive with confidence.

"A Si."

This sleep was unlike that of sitting in front of the Buddha. She slept peacefully until she was surrounded by soft calls, and then she gradually woke up.She looked out the window and saw that it was completely dark.

"What time is it?"

"Hey, little ancestor, it's eight o'clock."

He Si heard the sound and realized that Fan Yu was standing outside the car. Standing with him was Guan Zihe with a cold face.

"Why don't you go to the hospital to report?"

"The doctors are here, why should I go to the hospital, to lie down?" Fan Yu said angrily. He had obviously been punished by Guan Zihe, and now he was taking his anger out on He Si.

"Doctor Guan, I heard that the ancient recipe can be fueled by strong liquor, supplemented by..." Qin Jian already looked like an old court official. Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Fan Yu: "Uncle Qin, please don't cause trouble. , when did you start studying medicine?"

Lao Chaofeng raised his injured right hand, a flash of red flashed, and said calmly: "A long-term illness can be cured."

"I've never seen you protecting someone's shortcomings like this." Fan Yu didn't dare to speak loudly, and muttered as he walked into the house.

"Let's go and hear the situation first."

As Lao Chaofeng spoke, he opened the car door for He Si, and the two of them walked side by side towards the house.

"Wu Yizhi is missing, and Lin Huan cannot be contacted. The two of them have completely lost contact. They are exactly the same as before Lu Zhongming died. My people are still working hard, but..." Fan Yu sighed, "This is the situation, you still Anything you want to add?”

Lao Chaofeng remained silent, and He Si also remained silent. Guan Zihe was forced to come to stabilize the parasitic beast for Fan Yu, and he had nothing to say. Jiang Huai, on the other hand, silently raised his head, his eyes red with bloodshot eyes, he was completely exhausted. The look of exhaustion.

"Jiang Huai, you are the only one left. You are the most familiar with these two people. Do you want to save people or collect corpses?"

Fan Yu's words were very serious, but the matter had come to this, and every second counted. It was no longer the time to be long-winded, so he could only force Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai, who had just raised his head, was forced to lower his head again.

"Anywhere, just say whatever you can think of. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. We have enough people." Fan Yu gave him a sweet date as usual after the slap.

"I don't know where it is." Jiang Huai grabbed his hair and thought for a long time, and finally raised his head again, "But Wu Yizhi is also missing. If Xiaolin wants to take action, I'm afraid he will find the sponsor of our show."

"What is your name."

"Chen Xiangyang."

"The one from the Xiangyang Group? Damn it," Fan Yu didn't know if it was because of the parasitic beast, but he was much more irritable than before. He frowned and spat, then turned and left.

"You knew this a long time ago?" He Si's mind was no longer on the case. She only felt a coldness in her heart, mixed with inexplicable hatred.

"I don't know. I don't know anything about Lin Huan from beginning to end!" Jiang Huai's hand was still pulling his hair hard, as if to convince himself, "Chen Xiangyang is Wu Yizhi's financial backer."

"Really? Don't you know anything about Lin Huan's grievances from beginning to end?"

"Me!" Jiang Huai seemed to have something to say, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed it back.

Lao Chaofeng looked at He Si and then at Jiang Huai: "Speak out your grievances."

"I really don't know. The entertainment industry is not clean. I mentioned it to her, but... she is a girl. If I talk too much or ask too many questions about some things, it seems that I am not pure-minded. How can I ask her if she doesn't want to say it? What if that is the path she wants to take?" Jiang Huai finally couldn't help it anymore, "I'm afraid that I can't grasp the scale of concern and cause misunderstandings, and I'm afraid that if I say too much, it will affect her future. Everyone has their own concerns. I have to go my own way, and I really don’t know why this is happening!”

Jiang Huai's eyes were red, and He Si also heard the struggle and regret in his words, as well as the helplessness that the storm was irreversible.

Indeed, Jiang Huai was in a different environment from her. Although He Si was not a few years younger than Jiang Huai, she had always grown up in an ivory tower and had almost never faced the other side of society.

As for Jiang Huai, in the fame and fortune fair, he should have seen a lot of people pretending to be flattered and throwing themselves into their arms in exchange for benefits.Even if he really noticed Lin Huan's abnormality, because he couldn't discern Lin Huan's true intentions, in order to avoid suspicion, the safest way for him was to pretend he didn't know.

However, is the safest way the most correct way?

As a senior in the workplace, a popular idol, and a rising star with the right to speak, don't you have the responsibility to care and protect your assistant who follows you wholeheartedly and admires you?
He Si couldn't convince herself. She was still struggling. She heard hurried footsteps again outside the house, and Fan Yu walked in immediately.

"Found it, that bastard is on the cruise ship."

"Cruise?"

Guan Zihe looked confused, but He Si understood immediately: "That's good, it's convenient to go there."

"Then you go over, pay attention to safety, and be careful about broken hands." Guan Zihe said with a cold expression and an eager tone, and then took a step forward to stop Fan Yu, "You stay."

"Isn't it acupuncture?" Fan Yu was a little anxious.

Guan Zihe ignored him and turned to Lao Chaofeng: "The parasitic beast on his body may have to be removed with a severed hand, but if the parasitic beast meets its original owner in the illusion..."

"I know he may not be able to hold it back."

"Uncle Qin, don't underestimate people."

"Fan Chu, don't make trouble."

After getting along with each other for a few days, He Si recognized Fan Yu and did not want him to take risks. She persuaded him kindly: "You have to learn to trust other people."

"Yes, you have to learn to trust other people, especially me!" Fan Yu deliberately misinterpreted He Si's meaning.

Several people in the room were in a stalemate, and Jiang Huai stood up suddenly: "I want to go together. He Si is right. I have an unshirkable responsibility for Xiaolin's matter."

"You will really cause trouble if you go..."

Before Fan Yu finished speaking, he saw Lao Chaofeng standing up, patting his clothes, and glanced at Jiang Huai: "Of course you want to go, the lives of everyone on the cruise ship are counting on you, let's go."

"Uncle Qin..."

When Lao Chaofeng heard Fan Yu calling him, he stopped and raised his eyebrows: "Fan Chu, I can't stop your actions, but we can each rely on our own abilities to get to the destination."

When Fan Yu heard this, he knew that Qin Jian would definitely not take him to the mirror corridor, and the mirror corridor in his hand would definitely not be open. He was angry and anxious, but Lao Chaofeng hadn't finished what he said: "I don't know. Which families will have young men on the cruise ship, and how big of a fuss will it cause? Have you reported to Director Deng?"

"I..." Fan Yu immediately realized the implication of Lao Chaofeng's words. Of course, Chen Xiangyang's friends are all children from rich families. What they have to deal with now is not just a cultural relic murder case.

The Special Cultural Protection Department where Fan Yu works is much more dangerous than other departments, but it is also relatively free. There are few restrictions when doing things, and the hands and feet are free. There is little regard for human nature, but it does not mean that there are no restrictions. You can take revenge according to your temperament. Complain for complaint.

Now, this simple revenge has become complicated and confusing due to the involvement of cultural relics. Coupled with the complicated interpersonal relationships on the cruise ship, if there are one or two young men from aristocratic families... Fan Yu feels that those parasitic beasts may have taken root in his lungs. , otherwise I would feel the pain in my lungs every time I took a breath.

"Relax, you are still here to be in charge. You don't have to go deep into the front line every time we investigate a case." Lao Chaofeng turned around and patted Fan Yu on the shoulder for the first time. "Besides, the front line of this case may not be on the cruise ship."

This was a normal explanation from a senior to a junior, and it was very harmonious between the mature and prudent Lao Chaofeng and the frivolous Fan Yu, but He Si couldn't help but cross the channel.

In her eyes, the old man patting Fan Yu on the shoulder turned into the young man riding a bicycle with her in casual clothes. Fan Yu frowned in front of the young man, his face full of hesitation.The scene suddenly became funny and vivid, and He Si's originally entangled mind relaxed a little.

"Why are you laughing? Come on, come on." Fan Yu finally waved his hand and urged, "Always leave the most difficult tasks to me. Hey, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
