deadly mantra

Chapter 54: What if we find out?
A bitter smile flashed across Ji Fanyin's lips, then disappeared quickly and looked to the side.

Huang Leiming was still kneeling there.

"Captain Huang, don't you have something urgent to do with Bao Simu?"

When manager Fanyin mentioned it, everyone present remembered Huang Leiming's existence.

Bao Simu said to Feng Xiaoyao:

"Let's continue another time."

"Ha, I'm afraid of you." Feng Xiaoyao laughed, automatically walked to Ji Fanyin, and asked in a low voice: "So, are you rich?"

Ji Fanyin smiled and said:

"With your current worth, it would be more than enough to buy you ten thousand times more."

Feng Xiaoyao squinted his eyes and calculated in his mind for a long time, but couldn't figure out a specific number.

After all, as long as she has money to support him.

That's all he cares about.

Bao Simu glanced at Feng Xiaoyao with disdain, hugged Li Mubai's arm, shook it and said coquettishly:
"Cousin~ Just turn a blind eye, I promise, I promise you! The Yongchang Escort Bureau case is the last case I handle. When I bring the murderer to justice, I will be obedient and never do anything again in the future. I won’t follow Brother Huang around, and I won’t investigate any more cases.”

With outsiders present, Li Mubai couldn't help but refute Bao Simu's reputation, so he suppressed his displeasure and said firmly:

"We are also not allowed to bring people to the streets to arrest fugitives."

Bao Simu readily agreed:
"Okay! I will listen to my cousin!"

Li Mubai's expression softened slightly, nodded, and said:
"Go, don't go home too late, otherwise Leader Bao will have to worry again."

Bao Simu stuck out his tongue and said with a smile:
"Yes! Cousin Prince!"

Turning back and looking at Shui Qingchen, her cheeks showed a hint of blush and she said softly:

"Then...I'll withdraw first. I'll be hosting tomorrow at this same place. I'll treat you to dinner. Do you want a reward?"

Ji Fanyin nodded:

"it is good."

Feng Xiaoyao shrugged indifferently:

"Anyway, I have nothing to do tomorrow. I have free meals, so I have no reason not to come."

Bao Simu rolled her eyes at him, then carefully turned her gaze to Shui Qingchen:

"What about Mr. Shui?"

Shui Qingchen glanced at her red face, smiled and nodded:

"it is good."

After a pause, he whispered:
"Be careful in everything, safety first."

Bao Simu had a "choke", blood rushed straight to his forehead, his cheeks were extremely red, and the little deer in his heart was so dizzy that he stuttered excitedly:
"Yeah! I...I, I will pay attention! Then, then, then...see you tomorrow?"

Shui Qingchen smiled slightly:
"See you tomorrow."

Bao Simu nodded shyly and left with Huang Leiming.

As soon as Bao Simu left, people from the palace came looking for him.

The tragedy of the Yongchang Escort caused an uproar throughout the city. The king was furious when he heard the news and hurriedly summoned Li Mubai back to the palace to report the case.

As soon as Li Mubai left, Feng Xiaoyao urged Ji Fanyin and Shui Qingchen to get up and leave.

After half an hour.

Moon stars are rare.

When the evening wind blows, the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road sway eerily.

The door of Yongchang Escort Bureau was locked and a seal was posted on the door.

Feng Xiaoyao circled around the door a few times, flew to the wall, and looked inside for a long time.

The strong smell of blood and the strong smell of death.

Other than that, he noticed nothing.

Flying back to Shui Qingchen, Feng Xiaoyao asked suspiciously:
"Brother Qingchen, how much do you know? It's related to the Yongchang Escort Bureau tragedy."

Shui Qingchen smiled slightly:
"A little less than you know."

Feng Xiaoyao asked:
"Aren't you curious? I was in the teahouse in the afternoon and heard some rumors about the tragedy of Yongchang Escort Bureau. Now, Li Mubai and Bao Simu are working on this case. Maybe I can find out something." Ji Fanyin typed A big yawn, blurred water appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he glanced at Feng Xiaoyao lazily from the corner of his eye and asked:

"What can we do if we find out?"

"Find out and tell Li Mubai, even if he pays back last night's rent."

"Haha, I can't tell that you are still a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Feng Xiaoyao opened his mouth and wanted to taunt him back. Thinking of the current relationship between the two, he shrank his neck and swallowed back the words that rolled to the tip of his tongue:
"Anyway, I don't like to owe people anything. I paid yesterday because I thought I could afford it, and I paid it today because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to afford it if I kept living here."

"Then where will you stay when you go back later?"

"I'll move here and live with Brother Qingchen. There are many rooms in Liushuang Pavilion. I'll live next door to Brother Qingchen."

Ji Fanyin rarely refused. She covered her mouth with her little hand and let out another big yawn.

Shui Qingchen glanced at Ji Fanyin, with a hint of concern in his eyes, and asked:

"Sleepy?"

Ji Fanyin said "Huh", lowered his head, rubbed his eyes, feeling sleepy:

"Do you want to stay with him to investigate the case?"

Shui Qingchen whispered:
"I'll take you back first, and then come back to find Brother Feng."

Feng Xiaoyao shouted excitedly because of being called Brother Feng:
"Qingchen Da! Brother!"

Ji Fanyin stared at Feng Xiaoyao's face with an idiot's gaze, remained silent for three seconds, looked away, and said to Shui Qingchen:
"Forget it, the trouble of running around, you stay and help Feng Benben, I'll go back first."

Ji Fanyin turned around and almost hit a tree.

Shui Qingchen was horrified when she saw it, and immediately grabbed her arm, turned her head, and said to Feng Xiaoyao:

"Can you be alone?"

Feng Xiaoyao raised her eyes and looked around, feeling a little timid.

After all, a few people just died here.

It's midnight again.

He would definitely be scared on his own.

Shui Qingchen saw Ji Fanyin leaning on his shoulder, squinting her eyes sleepily, as if she was about to fall asleep, raised the corners of her lips, silently tightened her arms, bringing her closer, and pressed her face against his chest:
"It will be dawn in two hours. Brother Feng, if you are afraid, we will come back at dawn. Xiaoyin is sleepy and must go back."

Feng Xiaoyao reluctantly sighed:
"Forget it, there's no rush at this moment anyway."

Yongchang Escort Agency was not too close to Luoyanju. By the time the carriage arrived at the door, Ji Fanyin had already fallen asleep holding Shui Qingchen's arm.

Feng Xiaoyao opened her mouth, about to wake up Ji Fanyin.

Shui Qingchen let out a soft "shh", shook his head towards Feng Xiaoyao, carefully carried Ji Fanyin into his arms, and winked at Feng Xiaoyao.

Feng Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment and quickly raised the car curtain.

After entering Luoyanju, Feng Xiaoyao lowered her voice and whispered:
"It's too late now, Brother Qingchen. I'll go back to Qingtai Pavilion to pack my things and move to Liushuang Pavilion tomorrow morning."

The two broke up in the rockery group.

Shui Qingchen carried Ji Fanyin into Liushuang Pavilion, carried him directly into the attic on the second floor, and put him on the bed.

"Are you tired from playing today? Why are you so sleepy?"

He stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, and naturally pushed a few green hairs stuck to the bridge of her nose behind her ears.

Ji Fanyin muttered something vaguely, turned over, hugged the pillow, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shui Qingchen couldn't help laughing.

Worried that she was afraid of the heat, he half-opened the window before leaving.

The night wind blows through the sparkling Tinghan Pond, carrying cool water vapor, pouring into the house, blowing the bed curtains.

Ji Fanyin's body trembled slightly when the cool breeze blew.

After leaving Shui Qingchen's warm chest, the blood on her originally pink face slowly faded, turning into a shocking pale color.

"...cold...cold...Aru...I'm cold...Aru..."

Talking in sleep, slurred.

In her sleep, Ji Fanyin instinctively hugged the soft quilt and curled up into a small ball.
