The place where Xiao Zheng treated guests was a seafood restaurant. In Jiangzhou, an inland city, restaurants that specialize in seafood are all high-consumption places, but price is never a reason to stop consumption. High-consumption places never lack high-consumption restaurants.
customer.
I don’t know if it’s because of the holiday, but the restaurant’s business is extremely booming. When Tan Xuan picked up Xiao Di and came to the restaurant, there were already a lot of people queuing outside the door. It was not even six o’clock now, and it was a working day.
Nowadays, most people may not arrive home from work yet. Fortunately, Xiao Zheng booked a private room in advance, so Tan Xuan and the others did not have to queue when they arrived. After giving Xiao Zheng's phone number, they followed the waiter to the private room upstairs.
Xiao Zheng and Qin Sixian had already arrived. They were waiting at the door of the private room in plain clothes. When they saw Tan Xuan getting out of the elevator, they greeted him enthusiastically.
"Oh, you are finally here."
"Haha, the road is a bit blocked, so I asked you two to wait. Why did you two come to the door? This makes me even more embarrassed. Please come in." Tan Xuan said politely and said he was sorry.
But there was no look of embarrassment on his face. After all, he didn't waste much time on the road, and the extra time was wasted on Xiao Di.
"No need to go in yet, let's go downstairs to pick out the seafood and see which ones you like."
"There's no need to choose. Guests and hosts are welcome. You just have to make your choice."
"How can that be done..."
Xiao Zheng and Xiao Di have similar temperaments. They are very straightforward when interacting with each other outside of work. They don't have the rigid demeanor at work. When they are enthusiastic, Tan Xuan cannot refuse and directly takes Tan Xuan downstairs to choose a lot of fresh seafood.
And he didn’t care about the price at all. Tan Xuan felt a little worried about the money for him when he chose it.
"Officer Xiao, no, Brother Xiao, it's almost done, these are enough..."
"No, let's choose two more. This thing looks big, but it's useless after removing the shell."
"It's okay, Tan Xuan, don't stop him. He can't have a guest once a year, so he doesn't have to save money for her..."
Some people are polite, some are rude. Xiao Di really doesn't save money for her brother. She just orders whatever she likes, and she only picks expensive ones. It seems like she just comes to feed her enemies.
Tan Xuan was about to stop watching, holding his nose and said: "Hey! That's almost it. Your family has a mine? It's not enough to eat some staple food."
"It's not like you paid for it. Why do you feel bad? You saved his future wife and helped him solve the case. Why don't you let him spend some money? Brother, do you think this money is a lot?"
"Not much, not much." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Tan Xuan was a little confused. The gap between this and the first time he met their brothers and sisters was really big. Then he suddenly realized and asked: "When did I help solve the case? What case did I help you solve?"
"We'll go upstairs and eat and chat later."
Tan Xuan did help Xiao Zheng solve the case, and Li Siwen's case was found out. The person behind the murder was the woman they already knew named Xu Danqing. After the trial, they found out that she was Liu Zhiming's father, Liu Peng's.
An old good friend, Liu Peng had his youth delayed, and he had no children. After he became old and yellow, Liu Peng abandoned him like a worn-out shoe, so he wanted to take revenge on the Liu family from the root, and planned to completely cut off the Liu family's descendants, so they colluded.
Li Siwen, who suffered the same fate, conspired together to harm others. As a result, God's calculations were not as good as fate's. He almost succeeded in inducing evil and harming others, but was disturbed by Tan Xuan. In order to protect himself, Xu Danqing killed Li Siwen. As a result,
Instead of protecting himself, I was completely exposed.
After hearing Xiao Zheng's brief explanation, Tan Xuan smiled and shook his head, "On this matter, how could you treat me so extravagantly?"
"Such a thing?" Xiao Di corrected him on the side: "This is no small matter, you know? Through Xu Danqing, my brother and the others found out the immortal master behind her, Hao Yuntong, and through Hao Yuntong
We solved two previous cases of mysterious deaths. Those were all unsolved cases in the past, but my brother and the others solved them in two days, haha..."
Seeing Xiao Di smiling from ear to ear, Tan Xuan laughed twice and said, "That's really gratifying."
Tan Xuan knew that if this kind of case could be solved, it was because Xiao Zheng used other methods. Otherwise, how could such nonsense as ghosts be used as the basis for solving the case.
Xiao Zheng laughed twice in agreement. After he stopped laughing, he asked Tan Xuan mysteriously, "Then do you know who instigated the female ghost who attacked Xiao Di and Xiao Qin?"
Tan Xuan smiled slightly, "Who instigated it? It couldn't have been directed and acted by the father and son of the old Liu family, right?"
"Well……"
The three people in the private room were stunned, especially Xiao Zheng and Qin Sixian, who looked at Tan Xuan in disbelief, "How do you know? I didn't see you go when you got rid of the ghost."
Find out where she came from."
"Is it really them?" Tan Xuan also asked in surprise, obviously not knowing that he could hit the nail on the head.
"Liu Peng asked someone to do it. I checked the people related to Liu Zhiming based on what you said. Unexpectedly, I called Liu Zhiming to the team and before I asked him, he confessed everything. Liu Peng thought Liu Zhiming left home in the morning.
He wanted to take revenge on Li Siwen, so he immediately found someone who had long-term cooperation with him, and asked that person to exorcise ghosts and control Li Siwen to jump from the building, and land right in front of Liu Zhiming. In this way, Li Siwen's death had nothing to do with Liu Zhiming.
It’s just that he didn’t know that Li Siwen had died a long time ago, so all he did was in vain and a lot of money was wasted.”
"Well, this Liu Zhiming is quite a cheater, haha..." Tan Xuan laughed twice and then suddenly stopped laughing, "Since Old Liu, an old fox, knows people in this field, Liu Zhiming is very special when the evil spirit enters his body.
What are you doing to me? Are you trying to torment me?"
"It's probably because you saw Liu Zhiming's situation and knew you could help him, so you didn't ask that person for help. Liu Zhiming said that hiring someone like that would cost a lot," Xiao Zheng explained.
"Damn it!" Tan Xuan was so angry that he cursed: "This old guy is really naughty if you don't realize it. This old fox is really a piece of shit."
Xiao Zheng was not surprised, including Tan Xuan's reaction, "Haha, anyone with such a big business is not a fox."
"Then what happened to the father and son? Is it enough to sentence them?" Tan Xuan suddenly asked.
Xiao Zheng shook her head, "They were all released."
"Let it go! Why let it go?" Tan Xuan was very puzzled.
Xiao Zheng sighed and smiled bitterly: "As you said, the words of evil spirits harming people cannot be used as evidence to convict them. They just failed, and someone above said hello, so just give them some compensation.
."
Tan Xuan was not surprised by this result. People with connections will always use some connections at special times. This has been a common thing since ancient times. However, the compensation Xiao Zheng said made him a little confused.
"Compensation, what compensation?"
"Xiao Qin and Xiao Di have been affected by this, shouldn't he make some compensation?" Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, a bit treacherously.
Xiao Di was a little confused and said, "Why don't I know about compensation? Where is the compensation?"
Xiao Zheng said with a smile on her face: "You have already ordered the food, but you haven't even eaten it yet?"
Xiao Di stood up immediately, "What did you use to compensate me?"
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have the money to treat you to such a sumptuous meal."
"I...I'll fight with you." Xiao Di stood up and was about to fight Xiao Zheng. Fortunately, there was Tan Xuan in the middle. Before she could rush over, she was stopped by Tan Xuan.
"You are shameless..."
"My teeth are pretty good, haha..."
"You are despicable..."
"I have a cup here, haha..."
The angrier Xiao Di became, the louder Xiao Zheng laughed. Tan Xuan was speechless in the middle. He had discovered that Xiao Di's anger was completely indiscriminate, and her brother did not behave at all after taking off his police uniform.
I'm quite willing to watch this guy make a lot of noise, and he seems to enjoy it a little bit.
Looking at it, Tan Xuan lowered his head. It's good to have a relative. It's a blessing to quarrel. The master is gone. Fortunately, Jiang Yingyue is here again. Thinking of Jiang Yingyue, Tan Xuan's face is full of tears.
smile.
The noise continued until the waiter came in and started serving the dishes one after another. Xiao Di sat back, glared at Xiao Zheng fiercely, and used all his anger to deal with the seafood in front of him.
After the table was filled with seafood, Qin Sixian, who had been silent for a long time, stood up with a teacup in his hand and said, "Tan Xuan, I really want to thank you this time. It was my fault before and I was so offensive to you with my words. This time I
I offer you a cup of tea instead of wine, and I hope you will put aside your past grudges."
Tan Xuan smiled slightly, "Why didn't I understand what Officer Qin said? Have we had any unpleasantness before? Why don't I remember it?"
Qin Sixian was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed, "This is what you said. I won't recognize it if you say it again later. I'll do it first out of respect."
After saying that, Qin Sixian drank the tea in the cup, and Tan Xuan also raised the cup to indicate and took a sip.
Returning the favor, Qin Sixian sincerely apologized, and Tan Xuan also expressed his goodwill, "Officer Qin, although losing your soul doesn't seem to be a problem, and although Xiao Di asked you for a talisman, you should pay more attention these days. If
If there is a murder case, it is best not to go to the scene. Stabilizing the aura requires a process. If the aura is not stable, it is easy to encounter things you should not encounter."
"Then can you give me an amulet, just like the one you gave Xiaodi? Then wouldn't it protect me from all evil?"
Tan Xuan smiled and shook his head, "This is difficult for me. What Xiao Di took that day was my amulet. It was only lent to her temporarily, not given to her."
"Then can you draw one for me? I can buy it too."
After being bitten by a snake and fearing well ropes for ten years, and narrowly escaping from death, Qin Sixian is now completely afraid.
Tan Xuan shook his head again, "I don't know how to draw talismans, as you should have noticed. I usually deal with ghosts directly."
Seeing Qin Sixian's depressed expression, Tan Xuan laughed again, "Officer Qin, you don't have to worry about this. People and ghosts have different paths. As long as your aura is restored and your professional aura is restored, those things will usually come around when they see you.
Let’s go.”
"But I was still possessed by a ghost last time." Qin Sixian said.
"That was a special situation."
"Uh..." Qin Sixian didn't know what to say, so he could only remind everyone to "eat while it's hot." Then everyone really ate while it was hot, and ate with enthusiasm.
A meal is a feast for both the guest and the host, just like the outcome of some meetings must be successful. If the money is spent properly, the food will not only reach the stomach, but almost reach the neck.
Back home, there was one person missing, and it seemed a lot more deserted. Although we could still meet via video, it still couldn't fill the emptiness in her heart. Moreover, it was rare for Jiang Yingyue to go home during a holiday. She didn't have enough time to spend with her family.
There was even less time for Tan Xuan. Waking up with Jiang Yingyue every night had become a habit to help him sleep, but now his dreams tonight were destined to lack of charm.
On the first day without Jiang Yingyue's company, Tan Xuan felt empty. On the second day, he became even more worried. On the third day, he finally got used to it, but on the fourth day, he received an urgent call from Jiang Yingyue.
’s helpline.
"Tan Xuan, please come to Tongyu quickly. Something happened to Mingcheng and Zihan..."
