Chapter 73: The White Cat Didn't Leave
Drizzle winked at Ling Heng playfully, "Engong, long time no see!" β
Drizzle's short pink hair and cool black dress are full of wildness and energy, forming a strong contrast with the well-behaved and gentle Ye August.
Ye August stood between the two of them, suddenly felt a little embarrassed by his existence, and unconsciously lowered his head.
She didn't see the strange look in Ling Heng and Mao Yu's eyes when they looked at each other, and thought that they really had the joy of "reuniting old friends".
Mao Yu took Ye August's hand and said in a cheerful tone: "I didn't expect August to be so courageous and really succeed in staying with her idol, you, the great detective!" Eun Gong, you have to be nice to August, she is really a good girl, you can't let her down! β
Ye August hurriedly raised his head, for fear that Mao Yu's words would cause Ling Heng's disdain for him, and said in a panic: "Catwoman, what are you talking about living up to it, Detective Ling is my boss, I should do my job well." β
Unexpectedly, Ling Heng uncharacteristically smiled gently at Ye Auyue, "Don't worry, I won't let her down." β
But Ling Heng's smile couldn't help but make Ye August feel comfortable, but laughed so much that her heart was furious.
Mao Yu continued: "In August, although Detective Ling is cold, he is a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, you will know it after you have been with him for a long time. β
"Hmm." Ye August pursed his lips.
"August, since the drizzle is coming and Xiaoya is back, you can go back from work first." Ling Heng's tone was extremely kind, and his crooked eyes looked kind enough even though there was no smile in his eyes.
"......" Ye August looked at him in surprise, unable to believe his eyes and ears.
Ling Heng also kept a smile on her, with the posture of a peerless good boss.
Without waiting for Ye August to speak, Mao Yu took her arm and walked out, saying to Ling Heng as he walked, "Then thank you so much!" Let's go, August, I've come all the way to see you, shouldn't you treat me to something delicious? β
Ling Heng didn't say anything more, and after seeing the two of them go out, he went up to the second floor again.
As soon as he took a few steps, Ye August asked in confusion: "By the way, I just heard you say on the phone that you came by train?" Didn't you go to college here? How can you take the train to see me? β
Mao Yu smiled, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I took a few days off from school to go home, and I came to see you from home." β
Hearing Mao Yu say about asking for leave, Ye August's brows furrowed, "You asked for leave again?" Why? Don't your classmates accept you yet? β
Mao Yu smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm just homesick." Look, I'm not doing that, am I? β
Ye August breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, if that's the case, I won't be worried. Or I'm worried that you'll be unhappy at school. β
"It's been about a year since I was possessed, and everyone has long forgotten about it, and I'm as happy as ever! So, I want to thank Detective Ling! I will always remember his kindness to me! β
Mao Yu said this excitedly, and suddenly patted his head, "Oh no, I forgot to give him the gift I brought to Detective Ling just now!" I forgot to take your gift too! β
At this time, they were already some distance away from the office, and Ye August waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay, if he can't see it, I'll hand it over to him tomorrow." As for my gifts, I'm not in a hurry! Let's go, I'll treat you to a big dinner for you. β
Drizzle immediately turned his worries into joy, "Okay then, let's go eat first!" β
When Ling Heng returned to the second floor, he didn't return to the conjuring room, but first stood in front of the window of the corridor on the second floor and stared at the backs of Ye August and Mao Yu as they gradually moved away, and only withdrew his gaze when the two of them completely disappeared from sight.
"What are you standing here looking at?"
Yu Panxin walked out and asked strangely.
"The white cat didn't leave." Ling Heng said as if muttering to himself.
"What do you mean?" Yu Pan was puzzled.
Ling Heng turned around, looked at Yu Panxin and said slowly, "The night before yesterday, the cat came. β
"Huh?" Yu Panxin still has a question mark on his face.
Ling Heng's gaze turned to the window again, "The white cat came to me the night before yesterday, and she wanted to seek revenge on me." β
Yu Panxin's eyes widened suddenly, "Could it be that the white cat you are talking about is the cat demon that possessed the female college student?" β
Ling Heng nodded, without telling him that Ye August had already left with Drizzle, with an unpredictable look in his eyes.
Yu Panxin's handsome face immediately became fierce, "She wants to seek revenge on you?" How daring! You tell me where she is, and I'll teach her a lesson! β
Ling Heng sneered disdainfully, "Boss He Laoyu personally took action on this little matter?" I'm just waiting for her here to see how she can get her revenge. β
Yu Panxin spread his hands helplessly, "You arrogant guy! β
"How are Mo Xiaoya and Xing Jiang doing?" Ling Heng suddenly asked.
Yu Panxin sighed helplessly, "Alas, this matter is tricky, their lost souls have not been recalled yet. It is easy to steal the soul of an ordinary person like Xing Jiang, but Xiaoya is already a spirit body with Taoism, and it is not something that ordinary people can do if they want to steal her soul! I said, it can't be that cat demon who did it, and wants to threaten you with this, right? β
"She doesn't have the skills!" Ling Heng replied simply and decisively, but his expression was not as indifferent as before.
"But now there's something happening that I really mind, I wonder if you've heard?" Ling Heng's face finally showed obvious worry.
"What's the matter?" It was rare for Yu Panxin to see Ling Heng show such an expression, and she couldn't help but get nervous.
Ling Heng's two thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and he said with a solemn gaze: "The case from a hundred years ago has reappeared, and the modus operandi and the victim are almost exactly the same as that case. The evil god may have been resurrected. β
Yu Panxin's face changed in shock after hearing this, "What? The evil god has risen? It can't be, right? β
Ling Heng clenched his fists, "But apart from the resurrection of the evil god, I can't find any other answer." Forget it, I'll talk about this later, for now, it is most important to recall the souls of Mo Xiaoya and Xing Jiang first, otherwise after twelve hours, they will be so stupid forever. β
Yu Panxin's expression also changed from surprise to seriousness, he glanced at Ling Heng, and said inappropriately: "Speaking of which, your little assistant is quite special, Detective Ling, don't scare her away." β
Ling Heng said with a look of disgust: "What's so special about her?" Why can't I see it? β
Ye August and Mao Yu talked very happily during dinner, and on the way back to her residence, the two kept talking, Ye August told Mao Yu a lot about her experience in the past few days, and Mao Yu felt very novel and envious when she heard it.
When he arrived at Ye August's house, Mao Yu casually collapsed on the sofa and asked leisurely: "August, you admire Detective Ling so much, and now you can work by his side as you wish, has your feelings for him changed now?" β
Ye August said as a matter of course: "Of course my feelings for him have changed!" I adore him even more now! β
Mao Yu sat up suddenly, pressed his hands on Ye August's shoulders and said solemnly: "I didn't mean that!" I mean, have you sublimated your admiration for him to the liking of men and women? Don't lie to me, I can see it! β
Ye August immediately blushed and said righteously: "How is this possible! Don't talk nonsense! β
Drizzle pouted, "What's this?" Detective Ling is so handsome, and you are so beautiful, it is inevitable that you will fall in love for a long time! I said it all, Detective Ling is cold and hot-hearted, don't be frightened by his indifferent face, if you like him, express it, even if he doesn't accept you at first, he will be moved by you in the future. β
Ye August gently took the hand that the drizzle was on her shoulder and lowered her head, "Catwoman, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum." I really just admire and respect Detective Ling, and I want to learn from him how to solve crimes, but I don't have any other ideas than that. β
Mao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Detective Ling is not an ordinary detective, he is a spirit detective who specializes in solving supernatural events, how do you learn from him?" Do you want to learn how to hunt ghosts and demons from him? β
"In addition to subduing demons and eliminating demons, Detective Ling is also very sharp, if he didn't have the wisdom beyond ordinary people, he would not have been able to solve so many cases." Ye August said cautiously, because she remembered that Ling Heng was indeed not an ordinary person, he was a strange person who had lived for more than a hundred years, and she didn't know if Mao Yu knew this.
Mao Yu patted her on the shoulder seriously, "You're just too introverted and too shy." Okay, I won't persuade you anymore, anyway, if you really like Detective Ling one day, don't hide it from me, I will definitely help you come up with an idea to chase him down! β
Ye August didn't say anything more, except for herself, there would never be a second person in this world who knew what she was thinking.
The time when friends meet always flies quickly, and the two of them lie in bed and talk excitedly until late at night before falling asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Ye August heard a few cat meows in a daze.
At first she thought she was dreaming, but the meow seemed to be coming from her house, and it was getting clearer and clearer.
Ye August suddenly opened her eyes, and just sat up and was about to get out of bed to check, but found that the drizzle lying beside her was gone!
"Drizzle, are you in the toilet?" Ye August screamed softly.
But the bathroom light is dim and the door is open.
Ye August immediately turned on the bedside lamp and walked to the bathroom questioningly.
After the bathroom lights were turned on, Ye August clearly saw that there was really no one in the bathroom.
The kitchen of the apartment is open plan, so the kitchen is also unlikely to be occupied.
And the small apartment can be seen at a glance, in addition to Ye August himself, where is there a second person in the family!
Ye August turned on all the lights in disbelief and shouted in horror: "Drizzle, where are you?" β
The hands of the clock passed silently, pointing exactly to twelve o'clock.
"Meowβ"
Only Ye August's own home, once again a long cat meow sounded extremely clearly......
