Shadow of the Thirteen Shadows

About half an hour passed. The sun has completely climbed to its highest point. The hot one threw the boiling heat wave all the way down. The scorching heat was a bit overwhelming. Can't help it. The mood is also becoming more and more irritable. For the fruit at this time. This is especially true of you.

Regardless of his embarrassing position and the mysterious explosion of Zhao Xue and Qiao Sheng, who are barely partners. Just this idiot detective who is out of tune around her is enough for her. What's even more annoying is that I actually confessed to this guy not long ago

Come to think of it. The face of the fruit was hot for a while. She glanced at Cheng Shuai with squinted eyes. The other party looked at the "cool beauty" on the street with a smile. A nameless fire rushed up from the fruit's heart:

"I said you haven't seen enough."

"Ahh What." Cheng Shuai turned his head. With a mouthful of drool.

"(Pervert)" Fruit's face darkened. Just wanted to get your hands dirty. But for some reason I held back. I just didn't say it angrily." What exactly are you going to do next?"

"Next" seems to remind Cheng Shuai. He thought about it with his head held high.

The fruit that was already steaming. As soon as I saw Cheng Shuai's quiet thinking. The fire actually went down most of the time, and I have to say. Cheng Shuai, this guy thought about it seriously. It's really fascinating to be unaware of. The fruit's face was even redder

"About before. What I said on the phone (referring to the confession to Cheng Shuai).I," the fruit muttered. The voice is incredibly soft.

"Lao Tzu thought of it." Suddenly. Cheng Shuai slapped his palm. He stood up with an excited face. Apparently he didn't listen to the fruit at all.

"Something comes to mind."

Cheng Shuai glanced at the fruit. Immediately turned his head around:

"It's fine. It's fine."

"You don't think of a better way to look at beautiful women."

"Ugh." Cheng Shuai shook. Look at the fruit in amazement. The sweat on his face began to bubble up." Not. Nothing like that. Crawl. Climb a tree and look for something. Lao Tzu never thought about it."

"This time. The fruit is no longer angry. I had to look at him helplessly. Half ring. Suddenly sighed. You've always kept everything hidden. I won't force you to do emotional things. Let it be about the whole case. What are you going to do?"

"What to do. It's all about my business." Behold. Cheng Shuai stood up lazily. Stretch yourself." Lao Tzu's purpose here is just to protect the little mouse detective named Zhu Mingjun and Li Han's little brat. Other things don't really concern me at all. Now that there's a big guy (Yan) taking care of those two guys for me. That's basically nothing to do with me. The next thing is to travel and eat and drink. Hahahaha."

This. The fruit did not answer. Just looked at him faintly. After a long time. Only then did he say calmly:

"You're afraid that the investigation will be detrimental to me."

Cheng Shuai suddenly stopped smiling. A strange look flashed across his face.

"After all. There are all kinds of signs that the other party is coming for us this time. Now there is no clue at all. The modus operandi of the other party is also completely unknown. That is, what the other party is going to do. There's nothing you can do about it, you're afraid in case of any day. I'll be in front of you all the time, too."

"Damn. It's hot to death." Cheng Shuai suddenly shouted. Interrupted the fruit." Why is it so hot today. Sick of it. That's right. What time is it?"

For Cheng Shuai's obvious move to divert the topic. The fruit smiled slightly. But in my heart, I know very well that the other party cares about me. couldn't help but be a little sweet, she subconsciously took out her mobile phone and looked at it. Surprised. Yikes. It's half past three."

"Wait. You don't have a watch." Cheng Shuai suddenly whispered. He looked at the fruit wrist with a suspicious expression.

"No. What do you have to do when you have a mobile phone?"

“”

"What's wrong?"

"Can you tell me more about your 'Bird Shadow Candidates'?"

The fruit was slightly stunned. My heart began to tangle. After all. This is tantamount to making her completely betray her former partner

Cheng Shuai saw through the fruit's hesitation. There are also some who blame themselves for their own rashness:

"That. When I didn't ask"

"I don't know the specifics. I knew that most of them were trained by 'Brother Yan'. Secrets lurk all over the country. Engage in a variety of occupations. Even abroad there are. Some of them will also be temporarily exercised by our official members of 'No Shadow'. But the identity and information of the vast majority of members. Even we don't know. As for the selection of 'reserve members'. Are you sure. I don't know much about the assessment. During that time, because I was not in a good state (I was depressed and depressed because of Cheng Shuai's affairs), I didn't participate in most of them."

"Five years ago. Isn't Lao Tzu also one of the 'reserves' that you are ready to woo?"

"Yes."

"No wonder that bastard ended up killing me, right? The wounds on my body back then. Some of them are also cured by you, right or not (see the last case of the first part "The Second Coming of Noah").

"Your body. What the hell is going on now?"

"The full list of the 'Alternate Bird Shadows'. In whose hands."

"I don't know. But the dark god he may have."

"Possibly."

"Those lists. Along with the information of 'Noah's Second Coming' and some extremely secret information, it was hidden in the earrings of the little girl named Xiaoshuang back then. But then the earrings were crushed. (The last two cases of Part 1)"

"So to speak. Tao Ran, that guy is the only one who has the entire list."

"So to speak of your body. In the end, now"

"Do you have any impressions of the 'candidates' you've been exposed to?"

The fruit was stunned for a moment. He smiled slightly.

"Yes, yes. How. You don't want to travel, eat, drink and visit beautiful women anymore."

"Damn. Is Lao Tzu such a superficial person?" Cheng Shuai shook his head. Gritted his teeth and said. It doesn't matter who the victim is. What is the purpose of the murderer. killing people in front of Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu will never just leave it at that."

XIV. Mandate

The fruit couldn't help but laugh out loud. She knew it in her heart. Cheng Shuai should have suddenly had an eyebrow. That's why I decided to start investigating. But. Cheng Shuai's physical condition. Always reassure her:

"Hey. Seriously. What the hell is your body doing now?"

Cheng Shuai turned his head violently. Colored eyes look at the fruit. Saliva flowed all over the ground:

"What do you mean?"

"The fruit suddenly got goosebumps. It's a kick to stand up." Get out of the way."

(At this time. Here in Tang Peng)

For Tang Peng, who suddenly became silent. Wan Li and the others were obviously a little at a loss. They had to look at him helplessly. Waiting for him to say something.

But Tang Peng sat quietly by the window alone. A pair of deep eyes looked out the window at the crowded street. Countless figures flashed before his eyes. But it was clear that he couldn't leave any traces in his mind. Apparently. At this time, he is not looking at pedestrians and vehicles outside the window. It's the indescribable entanglement and struggle in the depths of my heart

After a long time. Tang Pengcai slowly asked:

"Force. Can you tell me. What the hell is a detective?"

It's not just Wanli. When Tang Peng asked this question. Everyone present was stunned. If you hadn't heard it with your own ears. I'm afraid no one would believe that Tang Peng would ask this question.

Wan Li looked left and right in a panic. looked at Tang Peng, who was still looking out the window, with a stunned face. I was at a loss for a while

"Detective. Detective on. That's it."

"Forget it." Tang Peng rarely interrupted Wan Li's speech with impoliteness. A deep face." An answer that even I don't know. How do you know?"

"Master. No. Mr. Tang Peng. Although I really have no right to say anything in front of you. But. Your current state is really worrying no matter what the detective is. I just hope you remember the phrase: 'A detective. You must be calm about your feelings. Come what may. You have to keep your principles as detectives and be aware of your responsibilities.'"

"Huh." Tang Peng smiled. He turned back to Wan Li and said." But let me let go of my principles and ignore this case. Isn't that you, too?"

"So. I can only be Wanli." Wan Li paused. Go on." And you. It's Mr. Tang Peng."

Tang Peng was stunned. It was as if some heart knot was untied at once. He smiled. It is gratifying. It's relief again

"That's right. Where is this guy Chen Xi. I have a few questions I want to ask him." It seems all of a sudden. Once that self-confidence. The tenacious and calm mature Tang Peng is back.

Take a look at Tang Peng's return to his original state. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Changjing. They were almost about to cry:

"Husband, it's okay for you to be fine, Brother Chen Xi is locked up in the back room by us. I'm going to call him over."

"No need. I'll go in and find him, and I just happen to have something I want to talk to him about alone," he said. Tang Peng walked slowly to the door of the inner room. There was a whispering knock on the door. Found no response for half a day. Can't help it. He had no choice but to open the door without permission

Inside the dark inner room. Chen Xizheng is wearing a 'cursed headband' on his head, dressed in white. Holding candles in both hands. With a grim and resentful face, he muttered something to the photos of couples cut out of newspapers and magazines

Tang Peng was petrified in an instant. Sweat slid down his cheeks

"What's wrong with my husband." Behind. Chang Jing posted it curiously. I want to look into the room.

Tang Peng decisively closed the door. Calmly replied:

"Nothing."

"Huh. Husband, your face is not very good. What's wrong?"

"Nope. It's fine."

"Oh. That's right. Husband, didn't you say that you were going to go in and talk to Brother Chen Xi about things?"

"Forget it. I don't think it's better to bother him for the time being."

Then. Suddenly, there was a sharp knock at the door. Tang Peng saw this. Signal everyone not to open the door yet. Then he immediately went back to his room and re-dressed himself as a middle-aged man. I walked out slowly. I gave everyone a look. Only then did the door open (the current rumors about Tang Peng outside are unknown. Moreover, because of the plan, Chu Ming claimed that he was dead. So it's no longer convenient to show up).

Open the door. Outside the door stood a woman about twenty years old. Wearing light makeup. About 1.62 meters tall. It's quite a bit of a gesture. As soon as the other party enters the door. I kept looking left and right. Look flustered:

"That. Excuse me, are you here at the 'Ssangyong Detective Agency'?"

Tang Peng was just about to reply. Chang Jing's sour voice suddenly came from behind him:

"It's not. No. Please go back quickly."

"Ahh But. I asked a lot of people. They all say that this is the 'Ssangyong Detective Agency'."

"It's not like that. Go back quickly. Get back. We don't do vixen business."

“”

I saw that the other party's face was a little ugly. Sakura, who came back to her senses, hurriedly pulled the inexplicably jealous Changjing aside. Deliberately talking to her about some family things. Make it inconvenient for her to make trouble and interject again.

Tang Peng sighed helplessly. smiled and said to the woman:

"This is the 'Ssangyong Detective Agency'. Please don't care. But you're not in luck. We've had some problems lately. It's closed."

"Ahh The"

Look at the disappointed expression on each other's faces. Tang Peng was a little unbearable:

"Or. Let's talk about the commission first. We'll see if we can help you as much as we can."

The other party looked at Tang Peng repeatedly. Hesitate for a long time. Finally spoke:

"About the recent mysterious explosion in the newspaper. You are a detective agency. I should know."

Tang Peng was stunned. The look became serious:

"Your commission has something to do with that explosion."

"Yes. I'm desperate. I've thought about it. I guess only you can help," the other party looked anxious. It's like tears are about to fall out." I. My boyfriend also exploded yesterday."

"What." Wan Li behind him couldn't help but exclaim. He looked at the woman in front of him in astonishment. A look of surprise.

But. Tang Peng seemed unusually calm and composed. As if it didn't touch him much. He just stared at the woman coldly for a long time. Then he asked calmly:

"Yes. I don't see much sadness in your face."

The other party was stunned. looked at Tang Peng in surprise. couldn't help but look at him again and again:

"You. . . You are."

"Pang Ping. A newly hired assistant. Hehe. You'd better remember my name. Because someday. I'm going to be a world-class detective."

"Good. Okay"

Side. Wan Li was a little speechless. Because of what Tang Peng deliberately said. It's clearly my own mantra
