Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 24 Confused

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Qiao Xingnian was sitting on the first floor drinking tea and reading a book when he suddenly felt a breeze blowing by. He looked up at the store door and saw Lin Nanyue pushing the door and walking in.

"Team Lin is here."

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian, and couldn't help but startled. His dress was different from this morning. He was wearing a white robe, and his figure was more upright. He had the same face, but he seemed to be a different person, from innocence to cleverness. Be dignified and elegant.

Seeing Lin Nanyue staring at him blankly, Qiao Xingnian looked up and down strangely, and said, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Lin Nanyue regained consciousness, looked away in embarrassment, and said, "No, you changed your clothes."

"This is work clothes, and they are only worn in the store." Qiao Xingnian explained with a smile, "Team Lin is here for tea."

Lin Nanyue lifted his foot and walked over, and sat down opposite Qiao Xingnian. The strong aroma of tea wafted from his nostrils, refreshing his heart and refreshing his heart, refreshing him, as if dispelling the fatigue of the day.

Qiao Xingnian took a clean cup, picked up the teapot and poured tea for him, the fragrance of tea in the air became more intense, the tea water rolled down in the light white mist, and fell into the deep purple teacup, the teacup was held in a hand as white as jade. Gently pushed it in front of him, and immediately a clear and pleasant voice sounded in his ears, "Team Lin, please."

Lin Nanyue's gaze was attracted by that hand with sharp bones, but fortunately, Qiao Xingnian's voice brought him back to his senses and avoided the embarrassment of being stunned again.He picked up the teacup discreetly and brought it to his mouth. The aroma of the tea was even stronger. He couldn't help but smell it, and then took a shallow sip.

At the entrance of the tea soup, it is slightly bitter at first, and then a touch of sweetness appears, mellow and sweet, and the taste is unexpectedly good.

"Good tea."

Even people like Lin Nanyue, who don't know much about tea, can't help but praise him.

"This is the last one or two Yuqian Longjing left in our store. If Team Lin thinks the taste is not bad, I can sell it to Team Lin."

Lin Nanyue was stunned, he didn't expect Qiao Xingnian to sell tea to him, but this tea is really good, it's quite appropriate to buy some to honor his parents.

"how much is it?"

"The original price is 1200, and Team Lin will just give me 1000."

Lin Nanyue nodded, took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay.

Qiao Xingnian packed the tea leaves and gave him a set of tea sets, saying, "Team Lin's family doesn't have tea sets, so I'll give this set to Team Lin."

Lin Nanyue looked at it and said, "Thank you."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and changed the subject: "Captain Lin, have you contacted Ma Guojun's family?"

Ma Guojun was the ghost that Qiao Xingnian had seen. He was from Lincheng. He was 45 years old and had a daughter who was in college.

"We got in touch, but they didn't know about Ma Guojun's disappearance."

"Then Team Lin has confirmed the fact that Ma Guojun is missing."

"Not yet. But I went to Huayang Trading alone to find out the situation. The person in charge said that he suddenly received a resignation text message from Ma Guojun a month ago, and Ma Guojun hasn't shown up since then."

"Send a text message to resign?"

Qiao Xingnian frowned and said, "Generally, employees have to notify half a month in advance of their resignation, otherwise their salary won't be settled for that month. Ma Guojun resigned suddenly, and he still sent a text message. It is very likely that the text message was not sent by him. Rather, someone was pretending to be him in order to cover up the fact that he was murdered. Sending money to his family was for the same reason.”

Lin Nanyue nodded in agreement and said, "After confirming his identity, I called the number registered by Ma Guojun, but I couldn't get through. It showed that the number had been cancelled. I went to his registered residence and found that there was three I changed my residence a month ago. I contacted Ma Guojun’s wife, Ma Hongmei, and learned that he remitted money to them a few days ago. I also got the number he is using now, but I didn’t get through. Before coming, We have not received news of Ma Hongmei's report."

"Judging from the current situation, Ma Guojun is the ghost I saw that day. Under this premise, the murderer who killed him was Liu Zhaoqian, and the one who pretended to be him was also Liu Zhaoqian, and Liu Zhaoqian is currently being interrogated at the police station. Naturally, it is impossible. Received a call. Ma Hongmei couldn't get through the phone, couldn't contact anyone, even if she went to the local police station, she had to wait 48 hours for the person to go missing before filing a case."

Qiao Xingnian paused, then continued: "And even if they report missing, they don't know where our crime scene is, so we can only investigate it as a missing case. Team Lin, how long can you detain Liu Zhaogan at most?"

"Up to 48 hours." Lin Nanyue looked at the time on his watch and said, "There are still 34 hours before letting him go."

"Once he leaves the police station to get his mobile phone, he will find those missed calls. He will definitely become suspicious at that time, and then deal with the whole thing. It will be difficult for us to investigate. So the most important thing for us now is to find Ma Guojun's body."

"It's just that Dongshan is so big, where should we find it?"

What Qiao Xingnian said, Lin Nanyue knew in his heart, but they couldn't find the scene of the crime, and they couldn't be sure that the person had been killed. Even if he was the captain of the criminal investigation, if he wanted to search the mountains on a large scale, he had to ask the bureau for instructions.Then how should he explain it? Could it be possible for him to say "I saw a ghost, and I was a errand, and he told me that."

Qiao Xingnian pondered for a while, then released Tao Hui from the bell.

"Boss, you finally remembered me!"

As soon as Tao Hui was released, he couldn't help complaining, saying, "I thought you forgot about me."

Qiao Xingnian ignored him, turned to look at Lin Nanyue, and said, "Captain Lin, please drive us to Dongshan."

"To Dongshan?" Lin Nanyue looked at Tao Hui, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Qiao Xingnian went upstairs to change his clothes, and with Lin Nanyue's help, he quickly closed the shop and got into his car with Tao Hui.

"Boss, why are we going to Dongshan so late?"

"Find the corpse."

"Looking for the corpse?" Tao Hui was stunned for a while, and said, "But I don't remember where the corpse is buried. How do we find it in such a big Dongshan?"

"Look with your eyes." Qiao Xingnian looked at him angrily, and said, "This karma was caused by you, and it has nothing to do with the two of us. Now we are helping you, so why do you have anything to complain about?"

Tao Hui's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled embarrassingly and said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that I'll tire you out."

Qiao Xingnian rolled his eyes at him, then turned to look out the window.

After 40 minutes, they came to the foot of Dongshan Mountain, and one person and two ghosts got out of the car one after another.

Qiao Xingnian looked up at the mountain in the middle of the night, and the fluorescent lights on the mountain were flickering.

Tao Hui couldn't help asking strangely: "Why are there so many fireflies on this mountain? Why haven't I seen them before?"

"It's a ghost, just like you."

"Ghost?" Tao Hui looked at Qiao Xingnian in shock, and said, "Thousands of densely packed, tens of thousands of light spots, are they... ghosts?"

Lin Nanyue opened his eyes, and naturally saw the fluorescent lights all over the mountain. Hearing Qiao Xingnian's answer, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"As the saying goes, there are spirits in the mountains, but all mountains and rivers have spirituality. Although ghosts in the deep mountains will also consume the power of the soul, they also have the word "spiritual energy", so the consumption is much slower. What you see is hundreds of thousands of years. Here, there are no wandering spirits that dissipate."

Tao Hui couldn't help swallowing, and said, "Although...but... Boss, can we come back during the day?"

"What, are you trying to be lazy? Or do you think the power of the soul is too strong?"

Tao Hui was speechless for a while, forgetting that he is also a ghost now, and it would be too long to come here during the day.

Although Lin Nanyue had always been courageous, he couldn't help being a little timid in the face of this mountain full of wandering souls, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.Just out of face, he didn't say it.

Qiao Xingnian looked at the two of them, a smile flashed in his eyes, he silently recited the spell, took out a pen and paper, spread it on the front of the car, and carefully drew the spell.

Tao Hui and Lin Nanyue looked at each other, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, what kind of talisman are you drawing?"

"Tracker."

Qiao Xingnian picked up the drawn charm, folded it into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, and then closed his eyes and recited the spell silently. The thousand paper cranes in his hand suddenly lit up, and then he shook his wings and flew out from Qiao Xingnian's palm .

Tao Hui's eyes lit up. Qiao Xingnian used this method to find his own body before, and said, "Boss, you have this method, why didn't you come looking for it yesterday?"

"If you want to use a tracer, you must know the date of birth of the other party. We didn't know anything about the deceased yesterday. How do we use it?"

Tao Hui was startled, and then asked: "Boss, from what you said, have you confirmed the identity of that person?"

"Hmm..." Qiao Xingnian explained the current progress of the case in a few words.

Tao Hui tried hard to recall the name, but his mind went blank, and he had no impression of this person at all. He said, "Then what does this Ma Guojun have to do with me?"

"I haven't noticed any interaction between you yet, but his place of work is just downstairs of your billiard club. He stayed upstairs and downstairs, so he should have met face to face." Lin Nanyue answered for Qiao Xingnian.

The thousand paper cranes hovered in the air for a while, and then flew towards the mountains. Qiao Xingnian quickly followed, followed closely by Lin Nanyue and Tao Hui.

Walking through the mountains with one person and two ghosts would be troublesome, so Qiao Xingnian simply returned to the state of the soul, and just walked through it when encountering anything.But Lin Nanyue couldn't do it, he was a real living person, he could only dodge or go around obstacles when encountering obstacles, and he was panting from exhaustion after following the two ghosts.

"Team Lin, your physical strength is not good enough. You have to meet a criminal with good physical strength. How can you catch up with him?" Tao Huipiao said sarcastic remarks from the side.

Qiao Xingnian looked back when he heard the words, and saw Lin Nanyue's face was flushed red, he didn't know if it was from tiredness or embarrassment.

"Team Lin, you have to exercise your body well in the future, otherwise, with your physical strength, tsk tsk, I'm afraid you won't be able to satisfy even your girlfriend."

When Qiao Xingnian heard it, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Nanyue blushed even more, and said angrily, "Can't you hear me?"

Qiao Xingnian didn't respond and walked straight ahead.

Tao Hui said strangely: "The boss can't hear the voices of living people, but he can hear the voices of ghosts, don't you know?"

Hearing Tao Hui's words, Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Lin Nanyue and said innocently, "Didn't I tell you about this?"

Lin Nanyue frowned, looked at Tao Hui, then at Qiao Xingnian, then walked directly through the bodies of the two, and walked to the front.

"Hey, boss, what does he mean by that?"

Qiao Xingnian rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I say you can't do it, how would you feel? Say a few words less, no one will treat you as dumb."

"There are so many wandering spirits around, I'm not worried that he is afraid, so I just made a small joke, so I can't take it seriously."

"I think you are afraid."

His thoughts were exposed, Tao Hui smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Boss, to be honest, I really admire you. You can keep your face unchanged in the face of so many wandering souls. How did you do it?"

"It's very simple, treat them as human beings, ordinary people." Qiao Xingnian continued to walk forward.

"Ordinary ghosts are better, but those who died in a miserable state are really..."

"The more people like this, the more intense the pain they endured before death. We should sympathize with them, not be afraid, just like you."

Tao Hui was stunned, then turned to look at the wandering soul wandering in the forest, and then at Qiao Xingnian who was walking in front, feeling a little enlightened, and his fear gradually diminished.He raised the corner of his mouth and followed, saying, "Boss, why didn't you say I didn't know you earlier."

Lin Nanyue also heard Qiao Xingnian's words, and when he looked at the wandering souls around him, his mood changed.The annoyance in his heart dissipated, and his pace also slowed down.

After walking for about an hour, the thousand paper cranes finally stopped. Tao Hui looked back at the way he had come and said in surprise, "Boss, are you sure they buried the body here? We have been walking for an hour. You see Team Lin is tired, but they still carry the dead body, can they climb so high and so far?"

Qiao Xingnian didn't answer him, but took a flashlight and carefully observed the place where the thousand paper cranes were wandering.

Seeing this, Lin Nanyue also squatted down, carefully looking for traces of excavation on the ground.

"It has rained several times this month. Even if the body is buried here, there shouldn't be any traces."

Qiao Xingnian smiled noncommittally, pointed to the ground where the thousand paper cranes were hovering, and said, "Here, let's start digging."

Lin Nanyue nodded, picked up the shovel and started digging.

Qiao Xingnian was not idle either. After becoming a reality, he also helped out.

After digging for half an hour, Qiao Xingnian went down with the shovel and felt something was wrong, so he quickly said, "I have dug it, don't use the shovel, dig slowly with your hands."

Lin Nanyue's eyes lit up, he put down the shovel in his hand, and came to Qiao Xingnian's side to dig slowly with his hands.

After a while, a red and blue woven bag was exposed on the ground, and the two became more cautious.Lin Nanyue put on gloves, cleaned up the dirt on it, and unzipped the woven bag, and a male corpse appeared in front of him.

Because it's spring now, and it's buried deep in the mountains, even if the body has been buried for a month, the facial features can still be distinguished.

Qiao Xingnian put on gloves, removed the spell on the forehead of the corpse, and said, "The corpse-suppressing charm."

Tao Hui moved closer to Qiao Xingnian for a look, and said, "Boss, this looks exactly like the charm found on your corpse."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "It's indeed the same, not only the spell itself, but also the strokes and materials used to draw the runes are the same."

Lin Nanyue asked curiously: "What is this spell used for?"

"It's used to suppress corpses, to prevent corpses from changing." Qiao Xingnian paused, and explained: "If a grieving ghost becomes a fierce ghost and then possesses his corpse, his resentment will multiply several times, let alone an ordinary ghost. People, even ordinary errands can't do anything about him."

"Boss, the person who said that and killed you is very likely to be the same person who killed him."

Qiao Xingnian pondered for a while, and said: "When I saw Liu Zhaoqian in the interrogation room before, I found that there was a faint resentment in him. At that time, I thought it was because I was too sensitive. Now I think it should be because of him. Something to cover up resentment."

When Lin Nanyue heard this, he suddenly realized that Qiao Xingnian cared so much about Liu Zhaoqian because of this.

"And Ma Guojun believed that Tao Hui killed him, so he would not go to Liu Zhaoqian, but he still has resentment... It seems that he has more lives than that."

Lin Nanyue was startled, and then said, "You mean, before Ma Guojun and Tao Hui, he killed others?"

"Judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility."

"Boss, do you think Liu Zhaoqian is also a spirit crosser like you?"

"Spirit crossing people are errants who stay in the mortal world. They trade with resentful ghosts and transform their bodies to seek benefits. All soul crossing people enjoy wealth and honor, but they are all physically disabled. Liu Zhaoqian is a normal person, and it can be ruled out. Possibility of spirit crossing."

"It means that the person hiding behind him is the spirit crosser, or someone who understands this."

Qiao Xingnian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It's possible. But I can't figure out the connection. In my impression, whether it's Liu Zhaoqian or Ma Guojun, we don't see any intersection."

"Boss, don't you not remember the memories before you died? Maybe Ma Guojun and Liu Zhaogan are among these lost memories."

"Also a possibility."

Seeing that Lin Nanyue took out his mobile phone and seemed about to make a call, Qiao Xingnian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Captain Lin, you don't mean to call the police station, do you?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "If the body is found, of course we must notify the forensic department."

"Then how do you explain our exhumation?" Qiao Xingnian looked at him funny.

Lin Nanyue was taken aback, yes, how could he explain why he didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came to this mountain to dig up corpses.

"I can't say that I'm free, so come dig the soil and play."

Lin Nanyue put away the phone and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Qiao Xingnian sat down on the ground and said, "Sit down and rest, let's think of a solution together."

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly, and said, "We'd better not stay around here for too long, it will leave traces, and it will be very troublesome if it is discovered by the forensic doctor."

Qiao Xingnian patted the dirt on his hands and said, "Let's not think about this right now, just think about how to make it so logical that people find the body and call the police."

"It's very remote here, and people usually don't come here. In addition, the corpse is buried so deep. If the murderer hadn't come to dig it, no one would be idle here digging and playing."

Lin Nanyue thought for a while, but couldn't think of a good solution.

Tao Hui thought for a while, and suggested, "Why don't we just leave the body here, and when tomorrow dawns, maybe someone will find it."

"Leave the corpse here alone, maybe wild cats and dogs will come to eat it, and it will add a lot of difficulties to the forensic autopsy."

Lin Nanyue directly denied this idea.

When Tao Hui heard this, he immediately said angrily, "I'm worried that I can't find the body; now that I have found the body, I'm still worried. Why is it so troublesome!"

"Who is to blame?" Qiao Xingnian looked at him coolly and said, "Who buried this corpse?"

Tao Hui was at a loss for words, and said embarrassingly, "I was confused for a while, blame me, blame me."

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian looked away, took out his phone to check the time, but found that there were many missed calls.He was busy digging up the corpse just now, so he didn't feel the phone vibrate, so he quickly sent a text message to Jiang Mohan.

"It's two o'clock in the morning at night, and I'm afraid we're going to spend the night here tonight."

"Stay overnight? Have you already figured out a way?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid it will destroy the surrounding environment."

Tao Hui asked curiously, "Boss, what do you think of?"

"What Team Lin said just now reminded me that we can use wild cats and dogs to dig up the corpse. Of course, I will let them destroy the scene as little as possible."

"Can you control them?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "It's not enough just to have them. People have to find out and call the police, so we have to be busy tonight."

Tao Hui was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked: "Boss, you don't want us to smear wild cats and dogs in the deep mountains and old forests?"

"Not only to find cats and dogs, but also to find people."

"This..." Tao Hui looked at the dark mountain and said, "It's a bit difficult."

"Why don't you think of a less difficult way?"

"Then what, it's almost dawn, let's hurry up and look for it, don't delay the matter."

Although he is a grieving ghost now, he is a grieving ghost with little ability, he can't even pick up anything, so he thinks this is a joke.

Qiao Xingnian rolled his eyes at him, turned to look at Lin Nanyue, and said, "Captain Lin, I'll leave this to you. We'll look for cats and dogs."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Okay, then let's split up."

Qiao Xingnian didn't say anything, and took Tao Hui to find cats and dogs.Fortunately, there is no shortage of ghosts in this mountain. Qiao Xingnian relied on them to find two wild dogs, and controlled two wandering souls onto the wild dogs, and then returned to the burial site to meet Lin Nanyue.

Lin Nanyue was relieved to see Qiao Xingnian and Tao Hui coming back, followed by two wild dogs. He looked at the time on his watch, it was already five in the morning.

Qiao Xingnian controlled the wild dogs and kept digging with his claws at the place where the corpse was buried. In order to win people's trust, he even let the wild dogs scratch the woven bag, creating the illusion that the wild dogs dug up the corpse.

After they finished their work, it was already daylight. Qiao Xingnian went down the mountain to find another person, and walked behind him to the burial place, allowing him to see the scene of wild dogs digging out red and blue woven bags.

The man felt his head was in a daze, walked over unconsciously, then unzipped the woven bag, and saw the corpse inside.He was so frightened that he fell to the ground, then tremblingly took out his mobile phone and called the police.

Qiao Xingnian stood aside and watched. Lin Nanyue had already gone down the mountain before, and Tao Hui was also put into the bell by him. He stayed and watched to prevent something from destroying the body.

About an hour and a half later, the police arrived at the scene, and Lin Nanyue was among them.

After Qiao Xingnian's mission was completed, he walked up to Lin Nanyue, greeted him, then went straight down the mountain, found Lin Nanyue's car and got in.

After working all night, Qiao Xingnian was also tired, so he fell asleep in the back seat of the car.Anyway, he is now in the state of a soul. Except for Lin Nanyue who has opened his eyes, no one else can see or touch him. He sleeps very soundly.

After Lin Nanyue led people to investigate the scene, it was almost noon. He opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. He saw Qiao Xingnian sleeping in the back seat at a glance.At this moment, Sun Jiajia opened the back door and was about to get into the car.

Lin Nanyue hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister Sun, there is something wrong with my car and I have to send it to be repaired. You should take their car."

"Oh, okay, let's squeeze together with Yang Lin and the others." Sun Jiajia closed the car door and walked towards the car behind.

Lin Nanyue heaved a sigh of relief, and looked back at Qiao Xingnian who was still sleeping, with the sweater and coat hat on his head; a few strands of bangs fell down, covering one of his eyes, intersecting with his curled eyelashes. They are entangled together; the bright eyes are closed, and there is a sense of tranquility; the mouth is slightly opened, and the breathing is a little heavy, and the lustrous lips are like budding flowers, so beautiful that people can't help but go...

Lin Nanyue's thoughts paused, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, his ears blushing with guilt.After a while, he closed the window and started the car.

"Well--"

Qiao Xingnian turned over, opened his eyes and looked at the roof of the car. He was in a daze for 2 minutes, and his brain, which was down, finally resumed operation.

He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. He sat up and stretched, and then got out of the car.

Although he has become a ghost, he is different from other ghosts. Other ghosts don't need to eat, but he will be hungry if he doesn't eat.I didn't eat breakfast today, and it's past lunch time, and my stomach is already growling with hunger.

Just as Qiao Xingnian wanted to find a place to show himself, he saw Lin Nanyue walking over from a distance.When he saw him, he paused and walked over quickly.

Coming closer, Lin Nanyue whispered, "When did you wake up?"

"Just woke up and was going to eat."

"Let's go together." Lin Nanyue opened the door and got into the car.

Qiao Xingnian raised his eyebrows and said, "Team Lin treats you?"

"En." Lin Nanyue responded lightly.

Qiao Xingnian went around to the co-pilot's seat and got on the car, saying, "Then Team Lin will pay for it."

The car started and slowly drove out of the police station. Lin Nanyue asked aloud, "What do you want to eat?"

"There is a restaurant opposite the police station, and Team Lin still has to drive. I'm afraid there is some mission."

"The forensic doctor has confirmed the identity of the deceased. It was Ma Guojun himself. I'm going to visit Huayang Trading." Lin Nanyue didn't hide anything. What happened last night had already made him lower his guard against Qiao Xingnian.

"Don't police visits and investigations require at least two people? Team Lin expected me to follow?"

Lin Nanyue felt a little uncomfortable when his mind was exposed, and said, "The Xingnian Tea House is just opposite Huayang Commercial Building, I just dropped by to take you back."

"Oh, thank you Team Lin."

Lin Nanyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for what happened last night. Without your help, we might not have found Ma Guojun's body so smoothly."

"Team Lin, you are welcome. We are now a cooperative relationship. If I help you, it is equivalent to helping myself." Qiao Xingnian paused, and asked, "How did Ma Guojun die?"

"The knife was stabbed in the back, and the preliminary forensic examination should be that he lost too much blood and died."

Qiao Xingnian frowned slightly, and said: "If he didn't die immediately, even if the murderer did it from behind, he should be able to adjust his posture. Seeing who the murderer is, he chose the wrong person for revenge. This is a bit unreasonable."

"Indeed." Lin Nanyue sighed, and said, "We still have one day to find the connection between Ma Guojun and Liu Zhaoqian as soon as possible, otherwise once he is released, many clues will definitely be destroyed, and we will be able to find out when the time comes." Very troublesome."

"Have you checked the number to contact Ma Hongmei? The current number requires real-name authentication. Unless it is an insider of the telecommunications company, it is impossible to tamper with it."

"I checked. The owner of the number is an old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He doesn't even recognize his children, let alone give the number to anyone."

"What about the remittance account to Ma Hongmei?"

"Every remittance is in cash, and the remitter is not filled in. I can't find any information. I can only call the bank's surveillance video to see who the remitter is. My colleague is still on the way to the bank. It should not be found in a short time. what information."

Qiao Xingnian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Can you locate that number?"

"The mobile phone is turned off, and anti-tracking software is installed, so it cannot be located."

"This guy really has everything. We have met a master." Qiao Xingnian's eyes were shining with excitement.

Lin Nanyue turned to look at Qiao Xingnian, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Our battle with him has just begun."

The car stopped at the entrance of Xingnian Tea House, Qiao Xingnian became a reality, and the two got out of the car one after another.Standing at the entrance of the tea house, Qiao Xingnian looked towards the Huayang Commercial Building not far away, and said, "There is a noodle shop nearby that tastes pretty good. If Team Lin doesn't mind, let's eat there."

"Let's go then."

"Team Lin, wait a minute. I'll say hello to the clerk. We will be closed tonight."

"No, I will let you know if there is any news."

Qiao Xingnian thought for a while and said, "Alright, let me know when Team Lin intends to interrogate Liu Zhaoqian when the news is collected tonight. I'll take a taxi to the police station to listen."

"En." Lin Nanyue nodded, he hadn't realized that after only a few days together, he had completely accepted Qiao Xingnian's existence.

Under the leadership of Qiao Xingnian, the two came to a noodle restaurant not far from the teahouse. The noodle restaurant was not big, with only six tables, but it was cleaned very clean.

Qiao Xingnian is a regular customer. The waiter saw him coming in and greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Nian, what do you want to eat today?"

Qiao Xingnian asked Lin Nanyue to sit down and said, "I'm still the same. Team Lin, let's see what you want to eat."

Lin Nanyue looked up at the menu posted on the wall, and said, "Give me a bowl of noodles with fried sauce, and a roujiamo."

"Okay, wait a moment, you two, I'll be back soon."

"Team Lin..."

Qiao Xingnian was about to speak when the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took out the phone and looked at it. It was Jiang Mohan calling. He took out another phone from his pocket, put it aside, and connected it immediately phone.

"Hey, brother, you are looking for me."

"Where were you last night?"

The phone on the table automatically converted the voice into text.

"I went to a friend's house last night."

"Boyfriend or girlfriend?"

Jiang Mohan's speech was very slow, and his articulation was very clear. It could be heard that he said this on purpose, in order to make the converted text accurate enough.

"Male." Qiao Xingnian said with a helpless smile, "Brother, I'm an adult and a man, so I'm going to borrow from a friend's house, so don't make such a fuss."

"Male? Who, do I know him?"

"The friend I just met recently, you probably don't know each other."

"What's your name, what do you do, how do you know each other?"

"Brother, are you checking your household registration?" Qiao Xingnian was amused for a while, and said, "I'm not a child, how can I be deceived? Brother, you have the skills, talk to the little girl in the hospital more." Contact contact, you are already thirty, and it's time to find me a sister-in-law."

"The emperor is not in a hurry. The eunuch is in a hurry. Don't say anything, you pay attention to safety, I am ready to go to work."

"Brother, I may go back very late tonight, don't wait for me."

"What have you been up to these two days, leaving early and returning late every day?"

"Nothing busy. Brother, stop talking, I'm going to have lunch, bye."

Without giving Jiang Mohan a chance to speak again, Qiao Xingnian hung up the phone directly.

Just as Qiao Xingnian was about to put his phone away, he received a message from Jiang Mohan, a spanking emoji, which made him dumbfounded.

"Your brother cares about you very much."

Lin Nanyue had investigated Qiao Xingnian and knew that his family was reorganized, so he was a little surprised to hear the conversation between the two.

Qiao Xingnian lowered his head to reply to Jiang Mohan's message, but did not see Lin Nanyue speaking.

Lin Nanyue was startled, then remembered that Qiao Xingnian couldn't hear.

Qiao Xingnian lowered his head and focused on his mobile phone. His bright eyes were covered by curly eyelashes, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of his lips curled up nicely, which showed that he was in a good mood at this time.

Lin Nanyue's eyes moved down, and the sexy Adam's apple came into view. Because of the swallowing of saliva, the slender neck was slightly bent, forming a perfect arc, and then the delicate collarbone...

"Here comes the face!"

The waiter's yelling interrupted Lin Nanyue's thoughts.He hurriedly looked away and coughed twice in embarrassment.

The waiter's arrival attracted Qiao Xingnian's attention. He put his phone in his pocket, looked up at Lin Nanyue, and said, "I'm sorry, Team Lin, I just dealt with some personal matters."

"fine."

Looking at Qiao Xingnian's bright eyes, Lin Nanyue was inexplicably guilty, and looked away uncomfortably.

"Zhajiang noodles and Roujiamo for you two." The waiter put the items in front of them and said with a smile: "You two take it easy. If you need it, call me anytime."

Qiao Xingnian got up, came to the buffet table, took a plate, put some small pickles, and filled a small bowl of corn porridge, turned back to the table, put the porridge in Lin Nanyue's hand, and said: "The noodles here The taste is strong, slightly salty, you may not be used to it for the first time, it is much better to drink some polenta."

"Thank you. You can drink this, and I can serve it myself."

"I'm familiar with this place, and it's my territory. I invite you to treat me this time. I'll give Team Lin another chance to perform." Qiao Xingnian pushed back Lin Nanyue, who wanted to get up, and turned around to fill another bowl of corn. Porridge.

Lin Nanyue turned his head and looked at his shoulder. There was still Qiao Xingnian's unique cold fragrance. It was different from perfume, and it didn't smell like flowers. It was a very strange and pleasant smell. It seemed to be unique to Qiao Xingnian. the taste of.

"Team Lin, eat quickly, the noodles should be eaten while they are still hot, otherwise they will be lumpy."

"Oh, good." Lin Nanyue shook off the random thoughts in his head, picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles.

"what about the taste?"

Seeing Qiao Xingnian's expectant eyes, Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "It tastes good."

"That's good. I have a heavy mouth, and I'm afraid you won't get used to it."

Lin Nanyue looked at the chili peppers in his bowl and said, "Eating too salty and too spicy is bad for your health. You'd better be careful not to eat it too often."

"I don't smoke or drink, and I don't have any hobbies. The only thing I like is to eat all kinds of food, especially spicy food. If I can't satisfy these, then life will be too boring."

Qiao Xingnian stirred the noodles in the bowl so that each noodle was covered with spicy sauce, and then picked up the noodles and ate them. The sound of "snoring, snorting" and a big mouthful of noodles made his cheeks bulge, and his eyes narrowed in satisfaction, like a dog that got a bone, looking very cute.

Lin Nanyue looked down at the noodles in the bowl, hesitated, opened the chili seasoning bowl, added a spoonful for himself, stirred it and put it in his mouth, the spicy taste choked his throat, he coughed instinctively, I almost spit out the noodles in my mouth.

Qiao Xingnian quickly handed him the polenta and said, "Drink some porridge quickly."

Lin Nanyue took the bowl and drank the porridge in one gulp, only then did he recover.

Seeing his appearance, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help chuckling, and said, "The spicy red oil here is not bad, it shouldn't be like this. Could it be that Team Lin can't eat any spicy food?"

"I usually eat lightly."

For some reason, hearing Qiao Xingnian say this, his face felt a little hot for no reason.

Qiao Xingnian said jokingly: "Fortunately, we are not a family, otherwise it would be a problem just to eat."

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly and said, "It's not that I can't eat it at all, it's just that the chili here is a bit spicy."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Do you want another bowl for Team Lin?"

"Need not."
