Chapter 108 Women may also be your rivals
The two of them really walked to the old house near the outskirts of the city in such a leisurely manner, and it took about an hour to go.
The two casually ate a bowl of somen noodles at a roadside stall, and asked for directions, and then found it. Before going to the house, I passed by a fruit stall and bought a few oranges and apples with the song.
Facing Ji Liren's puzzled gaze, she explained: "If this is really the person we are looking for, it is better to carry fruit than to come empty-handed." It's a big deal, if it's useless, take it back to the house, and add dinner tonight. β
Although there are several large mansions in the middle of nowhere, most of them are bought by wealthy families and left unused, so there are few people around. Even if someone passes by, most of them are one or two scattered woodcutters and peasant women, compared with the bustle in the center of the city, there is really a world of difference.
When I came to the door of the house, the door was already a little dilapidated, the paint was peeling off very badly, mottled, and it looked like no one had repaired it for a long time.
Ji Liren frowned when he looked at it from afar, and said bluntly: "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, this place is so desolate, I see that this house is dilapidated and old, I'm afraid that no one will live in it for a long time." β
With the song, he couldn't deny it, hummed a few words, ignored it, and walked straight onto the steps.
As she went, she looked down earnestly until she reached the platform and walked to the door.
"See, if it were a deserted house, the corners of these stairs would have been covered with moss, not to mention the dilapidated but spotless ones seen now. At least there are servants living in this house. β
And the absence of the master, the servant is not a good clue.
Sometimes the servant is better spoken than the master.
This is the most practical one that I have learned since I have been a catcher for so long.
"Buckle".
Sui Ge knocked lightly on the door twice, and then waited quietly in front of the door, waiting.
After a while, I didn't hear anything inside.
She knocked a few more times, only this time with much harder than before.
Ji Liren raised his eyebrows, "Why bother? β
He lifted his foot and made a gesture to kick it in the direction of the door.
Sui Ge kicked him hard and glared at him, "You military attachΓ©s are rude." β
At that moment, footsteps were heard approaching through the door, and it seemed that someone was running.
Immediately afterwards, with a "squeak", the door was opened a small gap, and a middle-aged woman who was not tall looked at the two people outside the door with a wary face and asked, "Who are you looking for?" β
Sui Ge raised a smile and asked politely: "We want to find a family of Shangguan, I don't know the owner of this house, but the surname is Shangguan?" β
The middle-aged woman looked at Sui Ge twice, and replied lightly: "No, you have found the wrong person." Then he hurried to close the door.
Unexpectedly, Sui Ge quickly shoved her foot into the crack of the door, and just as the woman slammed the door shut, Sui Ge snorted in pain.
Ji Liren immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open most of the way with force, only then did he take her foot out.
"Stupid or not, put your foot on the door."
The woman was pushed by Ji Liren like this, staggered, and took two or three steps back.
"You, what are you trying to do!" When the woman came back to her senses, she scolded the two who were still talking with a serious face, and grabbed the doorknob, looking at the posture to continue to close the door.
After making a gesture to Ji Liren, who was twisting his eyebrows with the song, he looked at the woman, with these grievances and pain on his face, and said, "Please don't worry, the two of us are not bad people." It's just that when I first arrived in the capital, the old man in the family once told me that there was a distant relative in the capital who had a surname Shangguan, and he told me that I must come to visit one or two after entering Beijing. It's just that I didn't make it clear and made you misunderstood. β
After that, she also commanded Ji Liren to raise the basket in his hand, and the basket really contained some fruit.
Seeing that Sui Ge was already grinning in pain, but still had to pay for a good-looking smiling face, the woman did let down her vigilance a little, and her face softened a lot.
"You may have found the wrong one, we don't have any distant relatives in our family, let alone those with the surname Shangguan."
After listening to it, Ji Liren didn't want to continue to bother, so he pulled La Suige and said casually: "I'm sorry." Then he was ready to go. Unexpectedly, before he turned around, he was pulled back with the song.
I saw her smile and say to the woman, "Since I have found a mistake, it is not good to disturb me anymore." I just want to ask one more aunt, may I ask if there is a surname Shangguan in the previous family here? β
Seeing Suige's perseverance, the woman frowned slightly, waved her hand and said, "We have lived here for most of our lives, and we have never heard of such a household, you are really looking for the wrong place." β
That's the case, it's Xiaosheng's fault. This basket of fruits should be regarded as an apology gift for the two of us. β
After that, Sui Song asked Ji Liren to put down the basket, and without waiting for the woman to answer, he turned around and took the lead and left. Ji Liren didn't say much, his movements were neat, he did it in one go, followed by the song, and after a while, the two disappeared on the street corner.
Knowing that she couldn't see the two of them, the woman muttered, "What a weird person...... But this face always seems to have been seen somewhere...... Where......"
The woman muttered as she looked down at the basket of fruit on the ground, and saw no one to her left or right, so she took the basket in her arms, and when she entered, she locked the mottled wooden door.
Sui Ge and Ji Liren, who had originally disappeared from the corner of the street, walked out of the shadow in the corner the moment she closed the door.
"How do you know she's lying?"
Her eyes were so twinkling that she didn't dare look in my direction. In the past, when protecting the female forensic doctor, she often helped some criminal police to cooperate in investigating cases, and those criminal police officers had psychologists who could tell from human behavior and micro-expressions whether a person was lying or not. I'm just a scumbag, and I can only guess that this person is lying. β
ββ¦β¦ Female forensic ......"
Ji Liren remembers this person. When he first saw Sui Ge dissecting the corpse, he talked to her, and he had tricked this person.
"What happened to the female medical examiner?"
Sui Ge glanced at the curious baby beside him, and then said lightly: "Later, she said that she liked me." β
Ji Liren's face froze, "I'm not mistaken, if I heard it correctly, she's a woman, right?" β
"Yes. Women can't fall in love with me? β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. Ji Liren's expression was very funny, "What about later?" β
Could it be that she agreed?
"Later...... She's dead. Sui Ge exhaled a long breath, "There was a time when I didn't protect myself from a mission, and someone shot me, and she ran up to me and blocked it for me, and then died in my arms." β
Ji Liren was silent for a while before looking up at Sui Ge.
I saw that her face was solemn at this time, and she seemed to have returned to that not-so-good memory, with a layer of frost on her face.
"Whew, it's all over." Ji Liren took her into his arms.
"Well, I'm fine." Sui Ge leaned on him quietly, "I just want to remind me to tell me, hold on to me, otherwise women will also be your rivals." β
ββ¦β¦β
The two deliberated for a while, and finally decided to use the most common trick.
Ji Liren hugged Sui Song to the roof to peek.
Although it is said that he is stalking about people's houses and peeping into people's privacy, he still has no guilt in following the song.
After all, the secret guard she asked the dark to help train was no different from that of Bailing Hall, and everything was transparent in front of the information network. It's a big deal that she does a good job of secrecy and doesn't leak it.
This house is not so big at first glance, but after going to the roof, I saw that this house can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The front door is quite narrow, but there is a lot of stuff here, and this room has a big belly.
As seen from the outside, the room looked very old, but everything inside was neatly arranged, and everywhere was very clean, and there was no dust to be seen.
It seems that someone has been cleaning the house every day.
"You see, the woman is there." Sui Ge bent and bit slightly, lying on the eaves, looking at the woman who hurriedly ran by below.
