Chapter 122: The First Clues

Knock knock

Qiao Anxin finally knocked on Jiang Mingle's door.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Mingle's voice came from inside, and after half a minute, Jiang Mingle came out and opened the door.

"Peace of mind?" Seeing that it was Qiao Anxin, he seemed a little surprised.

Qiao Anxin looked at his surprise in his eyes, showed an apologetic smile, and said, "You're going to sleep?" Is it bothering you? โ€

Having said that, Jiang Mingle's clothes have not changed from just now, and Qiao Anxin couldn't help but think...... What was he doing in there for half a minute......

"No," Jiang Mingle said as he turned sideways to let her in, "It's a little messy in the room just now, I cleaned it up, what's the matter with me so late?" Let's go first. โ€

Qiao Anxin walked in, the layout of this room was basically the same as the room she lived in, if there was any difference, it was too neat, as if no one had lived in it......

But he just said that the room was a little messy, so he delayed the time to open the door?

Half a minute...... Can it be cleaned up to this extent?

Qiao Anxin's heart couldn't help but sink......

After getting along along this way, she knew that Jiang Mingle was not the kind of person with a habit of cleanliness, and he was probably lying just now......

"Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." As he spoke, Jiang Mingle led her to sit on a chair.

Qiao Anxin shook his head: "No need, in fact, I came here because I suddenly wanted to drink tea, which was the tea given by the boss when we came up just now, I don't know why I kept wanting to drink it when I suddenly remembered it." โ€

"It's not good to drink tea at night, it's not early now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night after drinking tea." Jiang Mingle smiled, with a little helplessness.

"I know it too, but no, I just want to drink, I can't sleep anyway, so just drink a little, just soak a little." She said.

Jiang Mingle sighed: "I really can't help you." โ€

With that, he got up and began to clean up the tea set. Qiao Anxin walked over to help, Jiang Mingle asked her to sit, if she was bored, she would watch TV, Qiao Anxin didn't shirk much, so he turned on the TV, moved the stool to the opposite side of the TV, and sat down on the stool next to the bed, Jiang Mingle glanced back at her and continued to tidy up.

The TV was on, what was going on in it, Qiao Anxin didn't want to watch it, her eyes fell on everywhere she could see, the window, the chair and tea table next to the bed, the bed, the small cabinet next to the bed, the TV and the TV cabinet, the bathroom......

What's the problem......

It seems that everything looks normal, clean and tidy......

His coat hung from the floor-to-ceiling hanger at the door, but ......

Qiao An's mind raced through something, and she wanted to catch it, but the thought flashed so fast that she disappeared before she could realize the meaning......

"Don't worry, I'll clean the tea set, you wait for me." Jiang Mingle said.

"Oh, good!" Qiao Anxin hurriedly responded.

Jiang Mingle went out with something, the door was closed, Qiao Anxin couldn't help but make a swallowing motion, her body was still sitting there, abnormally stiff, her outstretched hand trembled a little, her fingers touched the cabinet, and with a slight force, she pulled the cabinet open, and the inside ......

Nothing.

On the table were information about ordering food from the dining room next to it, as well as paper towels, but there was nothing in the cabinet.

She stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the TV, crouched down and opened the drawer of the TV cabinet......

Again, there is nothing but the remote control.

She opened every cabinet without giving up, but still found nothing, but ...... That's not right......

"Anxin, what are you doing?"

I don't know when, the door opened, Jiang Mingle held the tea set, stood at the door, looking at her, condescending.

I don't know if it's because of the lighting, but from Qiao Anxin's point of view, Jiang Mingle's eyes ...... With a hint of darkness.

She looked up at him, her tone trembling, "I...... Looking for the remote control. โ€

Jiang Mingle leaned down slightly, reached out to pick up the remote control on the side, and gave it to her: "The remote control is here, give it." โ€

Qiao Anxin took it, with an embarrassed look on his face: "Okay, it's here...... It's really ......."

Jiang Mingle smiled: "Sometimes it's like this, the more you want to find something, you just can't find it, do you say yes, rest assured." โ€

There was no problem with the conversation, but when it came to it at this time, Qiao Anxin couldn't help but feel empty in his heart and said, "Yes." โ€

After Jiang Mingle finished speaking, he continued to make tea, the first two times were basically directly brought from the boss to drink, Qiao Anxin also moved, this is the first time I saw Jiang Mingle making tea, Qiao Anxin looked at his appearance, it was no worse than a professional......

"You also make tea?" She couldn't help but say, her tone of surprise.

Jiang Mingle nodded: "I knew a master who was very good at making tea, and I learned from him for a while. โ€

He said it lightly, but Qiao Anxin had also learned to make tea for a while, and knew that the door was also very deep, and it was not possible to learn the essence in a while, but looking at Jiang Mingle's appearance, it was obvious that it had reached a certain level, and she couldn't help but say: "You can really do a lot......

From the free installation of those tracking devices to the later news of Night City, thinking of Qin Qiyou's words, her heart tightened, and she felt that she couldn't understand this man with warm eyebrows and eyes who was bent on making tea.

Qin Qiyou said that his main business is the complete opposite of volunteering......

Every time he thought about this, Qiao Anxin felt that he couldn't continue to think about it......

"The adults in the family have asked a lot since childhood, and there is no way, and there are a lot of passive learning." Jiang Mingle said.

At home......

"That's good, at least when you grow up, you have more skills."

The two chatted, Qiao An's eyes fell on the direction of the bathroom, and his mind moved, and he said, "Is the tea almost ready?" I'm going to wash my hands, although I can't do incense bathing, washing my hands is considered to be respectful to you, a tea maker. โ€

Jiang Mingle smiled and nodded, and Qiao Anxin went into the bathroom......

Closing the door, her gaze immediately swept over the bathroom......

But like Fang Cai, there was nothing abnormal in the bathroom, the towels were neatly stacked, the washstand and the floor were dusty, there was no trace of water stains and footprints, Qiao Anxin turned on the faucet, the sound of water was rattling, she walked inside, and the disposable toiletries had no traces of touching......

My heart sank, and that thought became more and more obvious......

She hurriedly washed her hands and walked out.

The fragrance of tea is overflowing.

Jiang Mingle had already made the tea, set it on the small tea table next to the window, and when he saw Qiao Anxin coming out, he beckoned to her: "Come here, Anxin, the tea is ready." โ€

"It smells so good." Qiao Anxin sniffed and couldn't help but say.

Walking to the chair next to the tea table and sitting down, facing Jiang Mingle, Qiao Anxin said, "This tea seems to be more fragrant than yesterday's." โ€

Jiang Mingle was full of smiles on his face: "Maybe it's because I soaked it." โ€

"Narcissism." Qiao Anxin said.

said this on his lips, but in his heart he despised his hypocrisy, which was obviously ...... She was still comfortable talking to him, and sure enough, she ...... Still so good at lying...... Her eyes fell on the direction of the window, the curtain was half opened, the environment of the small town was very good, from here, the stars in the sky could be seen clearly, Jiang Mingle followed her gaze and looked out: "Like here?" โ€

Qiao Anxin nodded: "It's good here." โ€

"What else?"

He asked, Qiao Anxin couldn't help but look back, seeing that his eyes were burning, as if he had seen the depths of her heart, Qiao Anxin was surprised by his keenness, but he didn't hide it from him, and said, "You see it?" Actually, in addition to feeling good, I am actually a little afraid of Nancheng. โ€

"Afraid? Afraid of what? He asked.

"The environment of Nancheng is very good, it is very pleasant, and it is also suitable for people to live for a long time, but I always feel a little afraid, I don't know if I have watched too much TV, I always feel that in addition to a few scenic spots in Nancheng, other places, especially remote places, are a little chaotic."

Jiang Mingle's eyes flashed slightly: "What kind of chaos do you mean?" โ€

"The general environment, overall, may be because it is at the border, and I have seen a lot of news on TV about drug trafficking and so on."

The smile on the corner of Jiang Mingle's mouth paused, "That's just a TV series." โ€

Qiao Anxin looked at him and listened to him continue: "In reality, it may be more complicated than you think. โ€

Qiao Anxin was stunned.

"More scared?"

Qiao Anxin nodded stunnedly, the smile on the corner of his mouth solidified into a strange arc, and said, "Don't be afraid, the place we are going to is not such a remote place, I will take you to a safe place." โ€

When he said this, Qiao Anxin always felt weird, and these words were not so much relieved as ...... The smell of warning is more pronounced.

Qiao Anxin nodded, raised his hand to pick up a cup of tea, sniffed it carefully on the tip of his nose, and then drank it gently.

The tea he brewed was really good, but ...... โ‘งโ˜†โ‘งโ˜†.๏ผ„.

In the afterglow, the curtains fluttered, the window was half open, and the wind blew in, Jiang Mingle got up and closed the window a little smaller, Qiao Anxin looked at his back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be maintained.

The most abnormal thing about this room is that it ......

Too neat and clean, as if ...... No one has ever lived here.

As far as the eye could see, Qiao Anxin had seen all the cabinets, but there was no bag that Jiang Mingle had been carrying on the road......

She finally caught the thought that quickly crossed her mind......

Jiang Mingle doesn't seem to have lived in this room in the past few days.

That's what it is...... Is there something Qin Qiyou wants to tell himself?
