9. Chapter IX
"Don't you believe it?" He asked again.
Xie Ling waved his hand, "I don't think anyone will be idle and bored to run in front of me to pretend to be Chu Liuxiang." โ
The person in front of him was wearing a blue robe, his facial features were sharp, but his expression was very calm, and after hearing her words, he once again showed a smile that seemed to be nothing, "The girl is really a wonderful person." โ
Xie Ling carried the burden behind his back, and didn't take his praise to heart, but seriously thought about what he said before, and then said: "If Xiangshuai wants to check what I sell, I'm afraid I won't find anything from me, so it's better to find out who asked me to buy it." โ
Chu Liuxiang nodded, "What the girl said is true. โ
"But there were too many people who bought it, and I didn't deliberately remember it, so I'd better wait for ten days." She pointed to her baggage, "What I have in my hand is almost sold for the time being." โ
"Dare to ask the girl what she sellsโ"
Xie Ling knew what he was going to ask, and interrupted him before he finished speaking, "The person who makes these things will definitely not be the person you are looking for, and he will not be here these days, if Xiang Shuai doesn't believe it, I will bring him to the market when he comes back in a few days." โ
After all the words were finished by her, Chu Liuxiang naturally didn't want to be entangled anymore, so she had to close the folding fan and turn half of her body to make way out, "Disturb the girl." โ
"It doesn't matter." Xie Ling tugged at the corners of his mouth, waved his hand and prepared to go home.
was delayed by Chu Liuxiang, she even forgot to buy the roast goose, and when she got home, she remembered that she had this plan.
Accustomed to the days when people often come to eat, today only she and Xie Xing are here, and they still feel a little lonely. Xie Xing is the same, although he often dislikes Lu Xiaofeng for robbing his sister with him on weekdays, Lu Xiaofeng is really gone at this time, he sat at the dinner table and sighed, "Alas, when will Zhu stop and his relatives will come over for dinner." โ
"Come on." He mentioned Zhu Zhu, and Xie Ling couldn't help but think of Chu Liuxiang who stopped him in the market.
To be honest, Chu Liuxiang is a bit different from what she imagined.
That appearance is not very much like a amorous prodigal son, it looks dusty, there is even some fatigue between the eyebrows, and the edges and corners of the facial features are too sharp, but people can't evaluate it purely from the perspective of whether it looks good or not.
But even so, he was still very eye-catching standing there.
After all, it's Chu Liuxiang.
As for the case he mentioned to be investigated, Xie Ling also understood a little bit after returning home and thinking about it carefully.
The things made by Zhu Zhu are extremely exquisite, and it is indeed not impossible for the small organs contained in some small toys to be used for money and death after being taken out separately, but they have never considered this aspect in the past three months.
Thinking of this, Xie Ling was a little afraid.
Although she didn't come up with this idea herself, and she didn't make it, but she sold it through her hands, and if it was really because of this, there was some murder, even if she couldn't blame her, she couldn't feel at ease.
What she didn't know was that although Chu Liuxiang politely let her go back, she still secretly followed her all the way back to her home.
The other party has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, how can he be fooled by her two sentences, give up and start from her line. Although with Chu Liuxiang's experience, she intuitively felt that she was not lying.
He lay on his side on the roof, unconsciously lifting half of the tiles and casting his gaze downward.
There was only one child in the room who looked to be less than ten years old, but the girl's voice could be heard, and she said, "When does your private school start vacation?" โ
The child replied, "I'm not sure, the master didn't say." โ
After a while, Chu Liuxiang saw her figure walking into his line of sight with a plate of fried chestnuts, and from the angle from top to bottom, he could just see a small piece of her neck that should have been hidden in the dark black hair when the girl bent down to rub the child's hair, which was so pale and thin that he even suspected that he could strangle her with one hand.
Could such a girl really be associated with such a brutal murder?
And judging from the superficial temptation and inquiry in the afternoon, although she was surprised by what he said, she did not panic because of this, and even offered to bring people from those institutions to meet him.
If it is the face of his own name, Chu Liuxiang doesn't believe it very much.
The girl was only momentarily surprised when she heard him report his home, as if she had heard of it but was not curious.
Chu Liuxiang had to wonder if she was no longer attractive.
I saw her sit down next to the child and dial a bowl of rice, "I originally wanted to bring you half a roast goose back, but it was forgotten by someone, I will bring it again tomorrow when I come back from the hospital." โ
The child's tone was full of complaints, "If Zhu Zhu or Lu Xiaofeng are here, my sister will definitely not forget it." โ
"Without Zhu Zhu, you can't even eat roast goose, and you still care about this." She laughed and reached out to pinch the child's face, "Besides, you eat less of him at the private school on weekdays?" โ
He looked at it all night, but he didn't see a third person in the house. On the willow tops of the moon, the cold wind blew from the direction of the lake, and the cold air that penetrated into the bones hit the face, but in front of him was all the heat rising from the food on the table under the roof, even if he couldn't smell the fragrance, his stomach screamed twice when he was uncomfortable, Chu Liuxiang was a little helpless, and jumped off the roof with a wry smile.
The case naturally needs to be investigated, but at this moment, he probably needs to find a place to have a full meal first.
In this case, someone asked Hu Tiehua to ask him for it, and I was afraid that he would be able to accept his righteousness and refuse his friend's request.
And now, after learning a little about the situation, he felt that answering this request was not a torturous errand, at least the case was not as simple as he had thought at first.
โฆโฆ
Early the next morning, Xie Ling cooked a bowl of porridge for his younger brother and hurried to the hospital, Ximen Chuixue recently began to read medical books, and Dr. Ximen had to set aside time to guide him, so there were more things that fell on her, and because Ximen Chuixue was concentrating on studying medical books, Chongqi pestered her every day to ask questions, Xie Ling felt that he was asking for a salary increase.
jokingly mentioned it to Dr. Simon, and the other party actually agreed, "Originally, I also thought that the salary for you was a bit small, and I was thinking about how to talk to you." โ
This kind of thing still has to study how to speak! It's really not good to be a person with so much attention!
How could a person like her, who is short of money, be afraid of having less money!
"Speaking of which, I have one more thing to ask you for." Doctor Simon said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xie Ling didn't stop grabbing the medicine and looked up.
The other party stopped talking for a while, and finally spoke, "I'm going to Jinling in a few days, Xiaoqi is not in good health, so I won't take them on the road together, so I want to entrust these two children to you to take care of for a few days." โ
Xie Ling almost knocked over half of the medicine in his hand, "That's ......"
"Ah Xue said that your family can't live, so what I think is that you can take your brother to live with me for a few days, and help me take care of them by the way." Doctor Simon said worriedly, "Xiaoqi is too picky eater, and Ah Xue is used to her, so no one can watch her." โ
Having said that, of course, Xie Ling couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to nod, "Okay then." โ
Chongqi, who was flipping through the villain book she brought over on her lap, almost jumped up when she heard this, "Sister Ah Ling, are you here to cook for me and Ah Xue?" Great! โ
Xie Ling subconsciously glanced at Ximen Fuxue, but the other party didn't seem to have any objections, and he didn't raise his head.
However, what Dr. Simon said would be half a month later, so she didn't mention it to Xie Xing for the time being.
Xie Xing didn't like Ximen Blowing Snow in the first place, if she knew that she had to drag her family over to cook and eat for Ximen Blowing Snow, she might not know how to make trouble.
Three days later, in the evening, Zhu Zhu, who had not come for almost ten days because he had gone out to visit relatives, finally came to their house again, and learned that Lu Xiaofeng was going to leave for a month, and he didn't have any special reaction, so he only told her that he wanted to eat fish.
Xie Ling remembered what Chu Liuxiang asked him, so he asked Zhu Zhu, "The things you make should be something that no one else will do, right?" โ
Zhu Zhu shook his head, "These are too simple, smart people may know how to do it after taking it apart." โ
Crafted into such a mechanism, it was too simple in his mouth.
Xie Ling once again had a feeling of "worthy of being Lu Xiaofeng's friend", but when these things were involved in the case, she was still hesitating whether to stop talking to Zhu, and after hesitating all night, even Xie Xing saw that she was absent-minded and asked her what was wrong.
And she thought about it seriously, but she still didn't explain it, and only told Zhu Zhu, "The next time I go to the market to sell those toys, you will go with me." โ
Zhu stopped eating the fish, she could respond to anything without hesitation, and nodded without thinking about it, "Okay." โ
Just when she was struggling with how to explain Chu Liuxiang's intentions to Zhu Zhu and the turmoil caused by those toys, Chu Liuxiang had actually taken advantage of her absence to "hook up" with Xie Xing.
It was on Xie Xing's way home from private school.
As a problem child who is mischievous and undisciplined in class, which is so bad that other classmates can hardly stand it, Xie Xing is actually very unpopular in the private school, and he is too smart to others, so there are naturally more and more children who don't like him.
After school that day, the children who lived in the east of the city were ambushed on his way home and wanted to beat him, but they happened to be seen by Chu Liuxiang lying on the roof of someone's house.
He had only glanced at Xie Xing from a distance, so he didn't recognize it at first, but when Xie Xing angrily yelled out a sentence that he was not allowed to scold my sister, he remembered the voice.
When I looked at it again, the one surrounded by five children was full of anger, and his tone was very hard, "If you want to fight, everyone has their own skills, but dare to say that my sister, I definitely want you to look good." โ
Then there are one after another who wants who is good-looking, who do you think you are and aren't you just a little bastard who has no father and no mother, Chu Liuxiang frowned while listening, and wanted to fly down to stop this farce, but the one who was surrounded suddenly punched out with lightning speed, and the strength was so great that the tallest child screamed in an instant.
What was even more unexpected to him was that even if he was defeated by one against five, the child did not fall behind.
This meeting made him doubt his previous judgment, is this pair of sisters and brothers really not simple?
Otherwise, how can she explain her brother's fast body at such a young age, although it is all wild, but at this age, the person who can be pressed to bully him basically has no power to fight back, but it is not something that can be done just by playing.
"I can't even memorize the text, and I still want to scold my sister?" After beating people, he was still angry, puffing out a small face and fierce eyes.
The five children ran away like a fart, and Chu Liuxiang also flew down in time to block his way, "Your surname is Xie?" โ
Xie Xing looked up at him with a wary expression: "Who are you?" โ
"You beat them, they go back to complain, and their parents are looking for trouble with your sister, what are you going to do?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
Xie Xing opened his mouth, then lowered his head, "...... None of your business. โ
Seeing his embarrassment, Chu Liuxiang reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, after all, they are the ones who scold people first, you can't say that you are at fault, how about we make a deal, I will help you solve their parents' affairs, you just need to sue me-"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Xing had already refused, "I won't say anything about my sister!" โ
Chu Liuxiang didn't know that he was thinking of someone as interesting to Xie Ling and wanted to propose marriage, but what he wanted to ask had nothing to do with Xie Ling, so he only shook his finger, "I just want to know, where did you learn your kung fu?" โ
Xie Xing breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "I haven't learned." โ
At most, he had seen Lu Xiaofeng's master move when he was drunk.
