Chapter 212 Investigate Together

Lin Ting said this to the store manager because he didn't want them to feel unfair. If they didn't ask for money and were just helping out, there wouldn't be so many restrictions on Xie Xiaoxiao, and the employees wouldn't feel uncomfortable. At that time, Xie Xiaoxiao's salary could be directly transferred from her account.

When she is busy, she can't take care of the pet hospital, let alone deal with the cat cafe. Before the cat cafe opened, she spent a lot of money to find a store manager who knows how to manage and help her look after the cat cafe so that she can concentrate on the pet hospital.

Thinking about the haunted villa, she left the pet hospital with the cobra at five in the afternoon, leaving the rest of the matters to An Ran and Bai Xi.

As soon as I left the pet hospital, I ran into Si Chen who got out of the car.

She hasn't seen Si Chen since the shop opened.

As usual, this man always dressed himself neatly because he often had to go out on missions to avoid being recognized by criminals. This man rarely wore a uniform outside and mostly wore plain clothes in the police station.

The tall boy in white shirt and suit pants looks like he came out of a comic book, and with his handsome face, the girls passing by can't help but look back at him.

She even suspected that this was deliberately released by the police to confuse the criminal gangs.

After all, whose criminal investigation team leader is so handsome and knows how to dress so well?

Lin Ting shook his head and immediately put away his infatuated heart. He walked over to meet Si Chen's gaze and asked, "Why are you here, Senior? Are you here to buy dog ​​food for Da Huang?"

"Our store has launched a door-to-door delivery service. Senior, send me a message and I'll find someone to deliver it to you."

"There's still dog food for Dahuang. I came here for you." Si Chen's voice sounded as pleasant as a cello coming from above his head.

However, Lin Ting didn't have time to appreciate it. Instead, he pointed at his nose and asked, "For me?"

Si Chen, one hand in the pocket of his suit pants and the other resting on the SUV behind him, stood against the setting sun, as if coated with a layer of dim light. "I heard from Tian Tian that you asked her to check out the villa next to Zichen that is rumored to be haunted. I guess there must be something wrong there, and my good schoolmate must have been planning to sneak over there alone to check it out at night, so I came here to intercept you in advance. I didn't expect to arrive at the perfect time. If I had been any later, I probably wouldn't have been able to intercept you."

"Who said I was going to sneak over there alone?" Lin Ting couldn't help but retort.

Hearing this, Si Chen raised his eyebrows.

Without waiting for Si Chen to respond, Lin Ting immediately said, "I also brought a cobra with me. Even if there is any emergency, the cobra can protect me."

"You are really smart. If you really encounter a special emergency, I'm afraid that the cobra will not be able to protect you. Then Lin Jing will probably come to settle the score with me." Si Chen couldn't help but raised his hand and poked Lin Ting's head, but his eyes were full of doting, and even the action of poking Lin Ting's head was not too forceful, just gently.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let my brother come after you." Lin Ting mistakenly thought that Si Chen did this because he was afraid that Lin Jing would cause trouble for him.

Looking at Lin Tingtian's innocent eyes, Si Chen shook his head helplessly.

The girl is good in every way except that she is a little emotionally dull, otherwise she wouldn't have been deceived by such a scumbag.

Si Chen stopped joking with Lin Ting. He stepped forward and opened the passenger door for Lin Ting. "I'll go with you. Get in the car first."

It would be best if Si Chen is with you.

She decided to go there alone because she was not sure what the situation was. What if she called the police and asked them to accompany her there, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding? That would be a waste of police resources. It would be better for her to go there alone and see the situation first.

After starting the car, it drove directly to the scene of the incident.

On the way, Lin Tingjian told Si Chen about what he had discovered.

"I also heard from the stray cats nearby that two people have moved into the haunted villa. They're active at night and sleep during the day. They seem to be digging something nearby at night. I have a feeling that something might be going on, but I haven't learned anything specific from the cats. I can only wait until night to go and take a look."

"I searched for information about the villa online last night, but couldn't find anything. Then I remembered that Tian Tian was an intelligence expert, so I asked her to help me check it out. I didn't expect that it would even alert my senior."

"Fortunately, you asked Tian Tian to help with the investigation. Otherwise, I didn't know you were planning to take the risk alone. If there is such a dangerous thing again in the future, if you don't want to trouble the police, you can call me directly or find your eldest brother. Don't go alone. If it really is a bad guy, it will be too dangerous for you to go alone. It's like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. Even with Cobra's help, you can't guarantee that you can escape completely." Si Chen couldn't help but nag a few words.

She nodded obediently and said, "I know I was wrong. I will never act alone again."

"Have you eaten?" Si Chen asked while driving.

"I ate two corn tarts and drank a cup of coffee in the store." Lin Ting answered obediently.

She originally planned to have dinner after returning home, so she had afternoon tea in the store before leaving.

"There's Zhang's Fried Dumplings and Yang's Roast Duck next to our university town. They're very popular and I heard they taste pretty good. Before I came to pick you up, I happened to be working a case over there, so I bought one of each on the way. You can eat them first to fill your stomach, and I'll treat you to a meal after we're done. After all, you're helping our police station solve problems."

After Si Chen finished speaking, he observed Lin Ting's expression through the rearview mirror.

In fact, both of these are Lin Ting’s favorites. They often ate them when they were in college. She was a freshman and he was a junior. One day, they met Lin Ting and his roommates in the student affairs office. They came to sign up for a club together. They overheard Lin Ting inviting two other roommates to eat fried dumplings and roast duck, and he recommended these two restaurants to them.

Before coming here today, he deliberately took a detour to take a look, and fortunately it was not closed.

Lin Ting originally wanted to refuse the senior's kindness, but when he turned around and took a look, he found that it was the fried dumplings and roast duck from the two shops he liked, so he swallowed the words on his lips.

Since graduation, I rarely eat their fried dumplings.

Occasionally, I would order takeout when I remembered, but their store is near a university town and they are already very busy dealing with the college students. They only accept takeout orders occasionally and it depends on luck.

"Thank you, senior." Lin Ting unbuckled his seat belt, knelt on the seat, leaned forward and took over the two packing bags on the back seat. There was also a cup of hot milk tea sandwiched between the two packing bags. Lin Ting held the milk tea and looked at Si Chen awkwardly.

"Senior, your milk tea."
