Volume Two: The Case of the Red Lotus in the Ancient Temple Chapter 29: The Mirror Division has invited
Duan Ming felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart after he had been jolting on the horse for an unknown amount of time. He even had no strength to even open his mouth to curse.
However, Duan Ming remembered clearly that these people changed five horses in total along the way, and from the sound of it, they should have changed horses at the inn.
It seems that the journey this time is very long, and these people should be serious people.
Just when Duan Ming's stomach was churning and he felt like he was about to die, he finally stopped accompanied by a rapid honking sound.
Then, Duan Ming was in a daze and felt that he was moving forward quickly with the help of two people. The road was bumpy, as if he was climbing a mountain.
Finally, these people arrived at the place and gently placed Duan Ming on the ground, while taking off the sack from Duan Ming's body.
Dazzling light shone in from the window, but Duan Ming only felt his eyes stinging slightly, and vaguely saw a familiar figure standing at the window.
After a while, Duan Ming finally regained his composure, got up from the ground and quickly ran to the window, where he lay on the window and retched.
"Mr. Duan." At this moment, the figure at the window turned around. It was Xing Qianqiu, the deputy commander of the Mirror Division!
"Xing, you are a Qiandao killer... ugh... you might as well change your name to Xing Qiandao... ugh..." Duan Ming already knew the identity of the other party and couldn't help shouting.
"If it's your wish, sir, it doesn't matter if you change it." Xing Qianqiu smiled.
"You..." Duan Ming was immediately furious.
He just couldn't understand. Shouldn't Xing Qianqiu, a seemingly old-fashioned, cold, and powerful person, be as unsmiling and as cold as those cold men in movies?
How come he is as cunning as a fox and puts himself at a disadvantage many times?
You really got the attributes and settings of a domineering president for nothing!
"Mr. Duan, let's get back to the business." Xing Qianqiu suppressed his smile: "This is our Daqi Fanxing Temple. A bizarre and major case occurred recently. Our Mirror Division has been investigating for several days, but there are no clues. So.
I specially sent someone to invite you here, hoping that you, sir, can help our Mirror Division solve this strange case."
"Haha." Duan Ming also recovered a little at this moment, stood up straight, looked at the cloth bag in the room, and sneered: "Xing Qiandao, do you have any misunderstanding about the word 'please'?"
"There is no other way. Mr. Xing is traveling around the world, and Xing is afraid that he won't want to come, so he has no choice but to take this step." Xing Qianqiu said with a smile.
"That's all!" Duan Ming didn't want to listen to Xing Qianqiu's words anymore, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Xing Qianqiu, I tell you, I won't do it! I want to go back..."
"Hey!" Silver light flashed, and an icy cold light stuck close to Duan Ming's neck, and it turned out to be a long knife.
"Mr. Duan, the Fanxing Temple has a respected status in Buddhism, and Buddhism is a major religion second only to the Immortality Sect, with many followers."
Something has changed…”
"Xing Qian... Qiu..." Duan Ming was trembling with anger, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "I want to go back to my room to have a rest, and have someone bring me good wine and food!"
"Hey!" The silver light flashed again, the long sword was returned to its sheath, Xing Qianqiu cupped his hands and bowed slightly to Duan Ming: "This is natural, Mr. Duan is here to help."
"Also, don't count those useless things for me when the time comes!" Duan Ming shouted: "This time, all the expenses will be paid for by you, Xing Qianqiu!"
"This is natural." Xing Qianqiu nodded, then clapped his hands, and a Mirror officer walked in.
"Mr. Duan." It was Xu Shizhong who walked in. Xu Shizhong's face was red and he seemed to be suppressing a smile.
"Laugh if you want to, or I'll choke you to death." Duan Ming glared at Xu Shizhong: "You were bitten by a dog?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. It's much better." Xu Shizhong nodded.
"Yeah. Let me tell you, your deputy commander is not a good person." Duan Ming looked back at Xing Qianqiu: "You are a good boy, don't imitate him."
"Yes." Xu Shizhong suppressed his smile and nodded: "I would like to follow your instructions."
"Don't ask me, as if I'm about to die." Duan Ming waved his hand: "Let's go, send me back to have a rest, damn, this time I will punish you until you go bankrupt!"
Duan Ming then left the room under the leadership of Xu Shizhong.
Looking at Duan Ming's back, Xing Qianqiu sighed secretly and looked out the window.
After this period of investigation, the difficulty of this case and the impact behind it may be far greater than the case of Linzhou Talented Scholar!
The room Duan Ming lived in was arranged next to Xing Qianqiu's. This may be because Xing Qianqiu was worried that Duan Minghui would be in danger again and arranged it this way.
When Duan Ming returned to the room, there was a large bucket of hot water.
"Haha, are there any petals here?" Duan Ming looked into the bucket and curled his lips: "Your criminal commander is quite attentive."
"The criminal commander has always respected you very much, sir, so naturally I have to pay more attention." Xu Shizhong said with a smile: "Mr. Duan, your clothes have been put on the bed. You take a shower and change your clothes first. I will go and arrange meals for you. It will be rich.
"
"Okay, okay." The resentment in Duan Ming's heart dissipated a little, he nodded and then got into the water to soak.
After being put in a sack for a long time, Duan Ming's body bones were almost falling apart, and he was covered in stinky sweat.
Now when I take a bath in this hot water, I just feel comfortable all over.
When Duan Ming had just changed into clean clothes, Xu Shizhong happened to come back.
"Mr. Duan, have you finished washing?" Xu Shizhong looked at Duan Ming with a smile, waved his hand, and the person behind him took a tray to the small table beside him and placed plates of dishes on the table.
"This..." However, Duan Ming was stunned when he saw these dishes.
Vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, vegetarian stir-fried radish, vegetarian stir-fried cucumber, vegetarian stir-fried cauliflower... there was not even a hint of meaty taste on the four or five plates!
"Mr. Duan, please forgive me." Xu Shizhong said with a smile: "After all, this is a pure place of Buddhism. You can't kill animals. You can only eat these."
"...I was drinking wine and eating chicken in prison, how happy I was..." Duan Ming's newly restored good mood was wiped out: "Then you put me in a sack and brought me here, and made me eat radishes and cabbage every day?
"
"Forgive me, forgive me." Xu Shizhong's face did not change at all.
"That's all!" Duan Ming sighed. He was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't care about it. He quickly took a bite of food, then stood up and said to Xu Shizhong: "Let's go and find Xing. Let's take a look.
What have you found so far?"
"Hurry up and solve this damn case, so you can send me back to Linyang City as soon as possible!" With that, Duan Ming walked out.
