Chapter VIII: New Cases
Hua Ran didn't know how he got out of Jingchen's room, and he was afraid that if he stayed for a minute longer, he would tell her everything. She kept the peace of the Three Realms, she protected all the people she wanted to protect, but she didn't leave a way for herself to retreat. Back at the small teahouse, it seems that today's business is unusually cold, and it has long lost its popularity. I couldn't help but shout "Starry Night, come out"
I saw a particularly fancy man poking his head out of the corner of the stairs, "Boss, you call me!" ā
Hua Ran hooked her fingers and sat down at a nearby table. glanced at the starry night from top to bottom, "You are such a good child, what are you doing in this ghost virtue?" I'm a teahouse, not a nightclub," he said, throwing away the teacup in his hand
Xingye shook his body, calmly received the cup, took a chair and sat opposite Hua Ran, "Boss, you don't know, Shen Yuexi's little fox is an important guarantee for the turnover of our teahouse, as soon as she leaves, who will come to us to drink tea!" ā
"Iā¢ā¢ā¢" Hua Ran was a little depressed, although he was not a connoisseur of tea tasting, but he still gave high praise to the tea in his teahouse, "What about Shen Yuexi?" Glancing at the teahouse, I realized that the little girl was not in the store. I thought it was like usual again, playing with the lady's temper and going out to mess around
Starry Night pouted, "I left after arguing with you, I don't know where she went, but Brother Ying Feng has already gone out to look for it." ā
Hua Ran frowned and asked Starry Night to pour herself a cup of tea. He knows Shen Yuexi's character very well, although she is perverse, her nature is not bad, she was entrusted by the Fox Emperor to bring her to the world for training, but after getting along for a long time, she is also used to having someone around him yelling at him. This girl had also played with runaway moths before, but she came back in a day or two. So Hua Ran didn't care much at this time
"Brother Shadow Feng, you're back" Starry Night handed over a glass of water
Hua Ran looked up at him, "What about the girl?" ā
"I'm afraid that I used demon magic to hide my whereabouts" Ying Feng put down the cup, "She likes you, you won't notice it, right?"
Starry Night nodded busily beside him, which was considered to be a response. "I only think of her as my favorite sister!" Hua Ran looked at the two of them and pointed to his chest, "Here, it's too small!" Starry Night and Shadow Feng looked at each other and sighed helplessly. Indeed, as Hua Ran said, he once said to Shen Yuexi that in his heart, she would always be just a little fox, a little sister he would do his best to protect, and in addition, he could no longer give her any ambiguous feelings.
Jingchen's life is the same as in the past, bookstore and home, two points and one line of life. But because Hua Ran insisted on participating in it in the name of repaying her gratitude, it became no longer so boring and monotonous. Although most of the time, it was still Hua Ran who said that she was listening. This morning, as soon as Jing Chen arrived at the door of the bookstore, there was a girl who was already standing in front of the door waiting, Jing Chen saw that the little girl was wearing an unusually thin dress, so she took two steps, opened the door while apologizing, "I'm sorry, it's a little late today" pushed open the door, and turned sideways to let the girl in
When the little girl took off her hat, Jing Chen was shocked, the little girl looked amazing, and in those eyes, it seemed that just one glance could make people fall into it. If Hua Ran arrived early today, she would definitely know that this person was Shen Yuexi.
Shen Yuexi tilted her head and looked at Jing Chen, and said with a smile, "I thought there was something unusual, but it was just a mortal appearance."
Jing Chen also smiled back, "I have heard that the beauty of the nine-tailed fox clan is captivating, but this way of treating people seems to be less than one-thousandth of your appearance."
Shen Yuexi rarely held her breath: "Do you know my identity?" ā
Jing Chen said indifferently, "Those who can not be interfered with by my enchantment must not be ordinary human races, and besides, the demonic energy on your body is too heavy, you can detect it with just one glance." The demon clan is involved in the world, although there is a precedent, but today I can let you visit, I don't know what the so-called "Jing Chen took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair. He asked without looking back. In the human world for a hundred years, she admittedly looked down on the demon race and the demon world in the god realm, but it was the human race that made her feel more comfortable
"Although you are a sharp-tongued person, you also have some vision. I'm here today, just to get acquainted with you, and I'll see you again in the future, it's good if I don't know each other. Shen Yuexi "put her hat back on her head."
"Jingchen" The two looked at each other and said nothing else
Lu Beiduan sat in front of Hua Ran's bed, looked at the person who was still asleep, and glanced at the clock a little impatiently. Hua Ran is good at everything, it's okay not to sleep, once you sleep on this bad problem of lying in bed, it is difficult to get rid of thunder. Starry Night knocked on the door and whispered, "Chief Lu, I have prepared some refreshments, do you want to go downstairs and eat together?"
The person on the bed turned over, stretched lazily, pushed the quilt off his body, and sat up. Rubbing his unkempt hair, he moved his neck, and when he turned his head, he saw Lu Bei's stinky face facing him, and suddenly exclaimed in fright, "I'll rely on..." Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, and watched Hua Ran look at himself with that hooligan-like look, and he was very unhappy in his heart, "Speak well, hurry up and get dressed, there is a case to be transferred to you" After speaking, he went downstairs with Xingye
Hua Ran went downstairs, grabbed a fried bun with her hand and put it in her mouth, "What kind of case can bother you early in the morning, come here, block the bed" muttered, and said vaguely
Lu Bei was too lazy to talk to him, threw a file bag on the table, and Hua Ran motioned for Starry Night to open it. As soon as I opened the file bag, a large stack of photos scattered, and the corpses with bloodless faces and strange postures came into view. Hua Ran took a few photos and took a closer look, "The underworld hurts people, most of them eat bones and meat, but you can't do it so elegantly" tapped the photo with her finger, pointed to the corpse on it and replied
"That, boss. These people seem to have been sucked dry of their spirits," Starry Night interjected
Hua Ran raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then this thing really doesn't pick people, you can be full after eating one" and then laughed heartlessly. Starry night is really a spiritual quality that can not be found. I still remember the first time I saw him, Hua Ran thought it was some 10,000-year-old magic weapon, and his whole body was glowing with white light. When I got closer, I realized that it was actually a spiritual medium that absorbed the essence of all things and transformed into a human form. With a lot of emotion for a while, he took it back, and it took nearly a thousand years to cross him into shape and have a substance.
Xingye looked at Hua Ran's appearance, I really don't know if I am with the right person, maybe one day the boss will have a big appetite, and he will really be arrested to make snacks.
Lu Bei glanced at the starry night where his thoughts were wandering, and coughed lightly, "Spirit? ā
"Chief Lu, to put it simply, is the spirit of a human being. The underworld's afterlife book records in detail the rights and wrongs of each person's life, the living in the world is what you are now, and when the body dies, the underworld receives the spirit, and the spirit is returned to the underworld, and it is sent to the corresponding reincarnation according to the afterlife. "Starry Night is like memorizing a textbook, explaining the concept of the spirit body in one breath. Hua Ran didn't care about the oil stains on her hands, grabbed the corner of Starry Night's clothes, and gave him a thumbs up with affirmation in her eyes
Lu Bei pondered for a moment, "That is to say, once the spirit disappears, this person will..."
"I can't enter reincarnation, I am lucky to become a lonely ghost, unfortunately, I am afraid that it will completely dissipate in this world" Ying Feng entered the door, and happened to listen to a rough idea, so he took Lu Bei's words "Shen Yuexi, why don't you come in quickly" Shen Yuexi, who was carrying a petite figure in his left hand, as if he was carrying a rag in his hand, waved his hand, and threw the person into the house
"Shadow Feng, Shadow Feng, you deserve to be single for thousands of years. Do you understand the truth of pity and cherishing jade?" Hua Ran looked like an old pedant who hated iron and could not be taught. Then he beckoned to Shen Yuexi, "Although I'm not a good thing, and I'm also a bastard, I still feel sorry for my soldiers." Fried buns, hurry up and eat them, it's still hot" Although Shen Yuexi still had a ball of anger in her chest, she couldn't get up when she saw his ruffian appearance. I had to give him a blank look, reached out and grabbed a bun, and ate it a lot. muttered in his heart that he wanted to eat Hua Ran poor and bankrupt
"You eat slowly, if you choke to death, I have to recite the death spell for you" Xingye looked at Shen Yuexi's gobbling appearance, and couldn't help but complain. Shen Yuexi's mouth was stuffed with buns, and she couldn't reply to her mouth, and her angry little face was flushed. It's also rare to see cute and well-behaved. Hua Ran looked at it and couldn't help laughing.
Lu Yu glanced at Hua Ran, suppressed his throat and coughed dryly, "Since it is also related to the underworld, this case is still the old rule, let's investigate it together"
"What about labor fees, how to calculate? As you can see, I don't have skilled craftsmen here, all of them are foodies. My little teahouse is almost out of operation" Hua Ran lay down on the back of the chair, with a sense of decadence that she had nothing to love
Lu Yu's forehead jumped slightly, for fear that he would open his mouth widely, and then responded, "I'll go to the bureau to apply for labor fees" When Hua Ran heard this, she swept away the haze and laughed so hard that she was called a thief
