Chapter 42: Reciprocal Calculations
"Not really, it's just that I think it's a little weird. When you first arrived, you first killed the owner, followed by the opponent at the table. You're a Grim Reaper, you've caught up with Conan, a schoolboy! It's hard not to think otherwise. Xiang Chen Liuling said half-jokingly.
"Huh? Elementary school student Conan? Alas, I don't even know what you're talking about. Anyway, no matter how these two people died, it has nothing to do with me! If you think you have something to do with me, you should call the police immediately and let the police arrest me. Hey, but the police have to talk about evidence when arresting people, right? Do you have one? ”
Xiang Chen Liuling was speechless for a while, it was indeed just some subtle coincidences and speculations, and there was indeed no evidence. The only possible evidence is that Gimona had a knife on her body, but it was only possible.
And if you want to investigate her knife, you have to pay ten gold, Xiang Chen Liuling doesn't want to send meat to this lion's mouth! The point is that I don't have that much meat! The money was paid by Blank in a vague way, and he didn't know exactly how much money he had at his disposal.
Looking at Ji Mengna's calm appearance, she didn't seem to be worried about being investigated at all, but had an expression of longing for the two fools in front of her to give money to her own flowers.
However, Jimona is a good gambler, and this kind of person knows best how to bluff and confuse her opponents with truth and falsehood.
"Hey, you're not planning to leave me here, are you? Well, it's okay, I haven't found a place to live anyway. Gimona looked around, as if she really wanted to stay here.
Xiang Chen Liuling looked confused: "You have been here since the beginning of September, how come you don't have a place to live?" ”
"Hey, I came to the casino, and then I heard that Boss Huang died, and I wanted to change cities to stay, but I ran into the one surnamed Wu. Later, I received a call from Boss Huang's wife, saying that the banquet was still going to be held, but the date was postponed to November.
Anyway, the deposit has been lost by me, and the license plate has been mortgaged to the casino, so I can't get out of here, and I was thinking about what to do, so you sent it to the door. Hehe, I'm going to be transferred! Gimona's expression didn't match her cool looks.
Xiang Chen Liuling couldn't have imagined that there was a girl like her in this world!
Just thinking about whether to spend money to see her knives, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the house, turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Tong leading Wu Qian back.
Wu Qian entered the door and saw Ji Mengna, with a puzzled look on her face, and then turned her head to look at Xiang Chen Liuling.
"Miss, I'm back." Wu Qian whispered.
"It's good to be back, hurry up and rest, you don't have to do anything today. Have you eaten? Why don't you ask Blank to make you something to eat? Xiang Chen Liuling got up from the sofa with a bone, knelt on the sofa and stretched his neck to look at Wu Qian and asked.
Wu Qian shook her head: "I'm fine, miss, if it's okay, I'll go back to the room first." ”
"Oh, well, what do you want to say!" Xiang Chen Liuling stretched his neck and shouted again.
Wu Qian nodded, saluted everyone, and retreated to her room.
Xiao Tong glanced at everyone, his eyes stayed on Ji Mengna for a moment, and then said to Xiang Chen Liuling:
"I've sent you back, and I'll take my leave first." Xiao Tong looked tired.
"Wait! Officer Shaw! Xiang Chen Liuling hurriedly called Xiao Tong and waved at him.
Xiao Tong walked over blankly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Hehe, Officer Xiao, look, she has so many knives on her, has she violated the law and order regulations or something?" Xiang Chen Liuling said as he frantically glanced at Xiao Tong.
"Ah......" Xiao Tong didn't quite understand what Xiang Chen Liuling meant, but Ji Mengna saw through Xiang Chen Liuling's little trick at a glance, so she simply stood up and laughed:
"Little girl! Can you endure it! You want to throw me at the police!? ”
Xiang Chen Liuling stiffened his neck and said, "You have cheated me for ten gold!" Besides, didn't you say that there is no place to live? Just go to the police station for a night, and it's free! Oh, that's right! And ah! Her car has no license plate! Gotta buckle it, right? ”
Xiao Tong saw that the two were in conflict, but they were still in the clouds.
Xiang Chen Liu was anxious, and explained the ins and outs of the matter concisely, which made Xiao Tong understand.
"In that case, Jimena, please come with me to the police station." Xiao Tong beckoned to Ji Mengna.
Ji Mengna raised her eyebrows and waited for Xiang Chen Liuling, holding the helmet with one hand and pointing at her nose with the other, and sneered: "Little girl, there are you!" Sister, I came to you when I came out of the bureau, don't hide! ”
"Why should I hide? If you can come out, it means that you are fine, a harmless good citizen, what am I afraid of you to do? Xiang Chen Liuling saw that his "treacherous plan" succeeded, and his heart was happy, which can be regarded as "revenge" for the ten gold! If you had thought of relying on the police earlier, you wouldn't have spent this unjust money!
Happily grimacing at Ji Mengna, seeing Xiao Tong take her away, Xiang Chen Liu let out a long sigh of relief and fell back on the sofa.
"Miss, is it really good to do this?" Blank walked over and asked softly.
"What's so bad? Isn't that above board? We don't have to be cheated anymore. ”
"But, miss, if the murder weapon is really on Jimena, and the police preempt you, then ......"
"That's impossible! Even if the murder weapon is on Jimena, it does not mean that she is the murderer. Xiang Chen Liuling put away his smile, got up from the sofa again, sat down with a pillow, and said in a low voice:
"Actually, I have a very bad inference right now. I really don't want it to be true, and there is not enough evidence to back it up. Alas, it's terrible. ”
"Miss, is there anything I need to do?" Blank leaned over to Xiang Chen Liuling and asked softly.
Xiang Chen Liuling looked at Blank seriously, and after a while, he muttered distractedly: "If it were you, maybe you could get some news." ”
※
In October, the heat has faded, and after a few days of sunshine, it has begun to rain continuously.
Qin Heyan, dressed in black, leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the splashing water in the lotus pond outside the courtyard.
The lotus leaves have begun to turn yellow, and the little grass green that is strongly supported is more like the return of light before death.
"Ma'am, Mr. Blank asks to see you." An old servant woman came in to give a report.
"Mr. Blank?" Qin Heyan showed a confused expression.
The servant handed a business card to Qin Heyan, who glanced at the business card and showed a surprised expression.
"Come in, ah, no, let him wait in the living room. Refreshments are ready, don't be lazy, I'll go later. After Qin Heyan finished speaking, she turned around and walked to her room.
In the living room, Blanc was dressed in black, holding a bouquet of birds of paradise, standing quietly by the window, his long figure was erect, and his handsome side had a slightly melancholy expression, as if he was annoyed that the light rain was obstructing his vision and disturbing his mind.
Suddenly, a faint aroma of flowers and fruits wafted in, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps.
Blank turned his head slowly, and saw the elegant demeanor of Qinhe Yanli flowers with rain.
"I'm sorry to keep Mr. Blank waiting. Unexpectedly, Mr. Blanc turned out to be one of the top ten relict royal families in the Honeysuckle Continent, and the little woman was really snub before. Qin Heyan said, and Shi Shiran made a curtsy.
