☆, 94, a pair of sisters

"It's not me who's in pain, but you're not in pain, are you?" Rong Qing sighed, thinking Yu Jiuyin was completely foolish. But Yu Jiuyin's answer pierced Rong Qing's heart.

"If I'm really in pain, you'll feel worse."

"..." Looking at Yu Jiuyin's smiling eyes, Rongqing didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only hug her even tighter, as if that would fill the empty space in his heart.

————————————-

The special case team wasn't far from the hospital, and Rongqing had consulted a familiar doctor. In the clinic, Rongqing watched the doctor stitch Yu Jiuyin's wound, his brow furrowed as if it were his own. Yu Jiuyin, however, remained calm and unperturbed.

While stitching, he could even joke with the nurse.

"Don't let the wound get wet for the next few days, and take anti-inflammatory medicine on time to prevent it from getting inflamed. It's normal to have a high fever at night, so just remember to take the antipyretics." The doctor was also a meticulous person. He explained everything to Rongqing before letting the two of them go back.

On the way back in the car, Yu Jiuyin casually asked, "Is this the doctor from your special case team?"

"How do you know?" Rongqing was a little surprised.

"He didn't ask me how I stopped the bleeding. Even if doctors are usually tactful with their words, they'll definitely show some curiosity on their faces, but this guy didn't show any curiosity at all." Yu Jiuyin smiled and moved closer to Rongqing, "I'm smart, right?"

"Be smart about yourself." Even after more than ten stitches and an arm that felt like it wasn't her own, she just focused on making him happy. Faced with Yu Jiuyin like this, Rongqing couldn't keep a straight face and blame herself. She could only let the matter go and take care of him.

When Yu Jiuyin saw the change in Rongqing's expression, he knew that Rongqing had figured it out, so he quickly told him the serious matter.

"Rongrong, I found out about that apartment."

Rong Qing, however, shielded Yu Jiuyin's eyes with his hands. "There's no need to rush even if we find out. Mingyu still needs to be interrogated, and it will take some time to uncover all the details of the Cheng family. Let's not talk about it today and go to bed first. We'll talk again tomorrow."

But Yu Jiuyin wasn't tired at all after all this. He rested his head on Rongqing's legs, squinting at her. After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked Rongqing, "Rongrong, I've been wanting to ask you, what's wrong with your leg? When did the doctor say it would heal?"

Rong Qing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Maybe it will be difficult."

The problem with his legs was not due to external injuries, but because the shell of his body and his soul did not match, so he could not stand up.

Rong Qing had always suspected that his father was a powerful ghost, which was why Rong Qing's ghostly aura was so terrifying. However, his body was unable to absorb this ghostly aura, so it became even weaker after prolonged exposure.

As for the leg injury, when I first started recovering, the doctor didn't think I would be unable to stand. But for some reason, I couldn't move anymore.

"Are you conscious?" Yu Jiuyin pinched his leg lightly.

Rongqing subconsciously froze.

"It seems so." Yu Jiuyin frowned, thinking Rongqing's condition might not be irreversible. To Yu Jiuyin, Rongqing's legs were a bit like Rongqing's face, forcibly frozen at a certain point in time. Unfortunately, Yu Jiuyin didn't know much about the natural killers, so he couldn't make any conclusions at the moment.

"Do you care a lot?" Rong Qing originally didn't think much of sitting in a wheelchair, but Yu Jiuyin's contemplation made him inexplicably worried.

"Of course I care!" Yu Jiuyin answered confidently. "If you can't stand up, then won't there be many postures you can't use in the future?"

He smiled and pinched Rongqing's face, "And Rongrong, don't you think you look like my brother when you go out now?"

“…” Rongqing didn’t understand the meaning of many postures at first, and by the time she realized what she was doing, her ears had turned red.

Yu Jiuyin leaned against him and laughed softly, then muttered in his ear, "Come with me to the mountain during the New Year. I'll let my old man take a look at you."

"Yes." Rongqing nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Yu Jiuyin discussed the New Year's matters with Rongqing for a few more minutes, and finally fell asleep leaning on Rongqing while chatting.

They were still some distance away from the haunted house. Rongqing touched his face and leaned against him to sleep for a while.

————————————————

The next morning, Yu Jiuyin woke up to find himself in bed. Rongqing was lying beside him, holding his arm, carefully avoiding his wound.

"Are you up?" Yu Jiuyin moved, and Rongqing also opened his eyes. After a quick wash, the two of them turned their focus back to the case.

"I found a very important clue yesterday." After placing the concealment talisman on the table, Yu Jiuyin carefully recounted his findings to Rongqing. Rongqing also handed over the information he had found to Yu Jiuyin.

Yu Jiuyin flipped through the documents and found they were indeed as he had suspected. While Cheng Tian's family fortune ostensibly came from lottery tickets and inheritances, these were merely superficial perceptions. After a closer look, Rongqing discovered that Cheng Tian's father had never bought a lottery ticket, and the lottery company that had awarded the jackpot no longer existed. As for the gift from Cheng Tian's mother, it was even more mysterious. The agent was indeed overseas, but after all the twists and turns, the original owner of the wealth was actually from the Mu family.

"This person divided the Mu family's property into two parts and gave them to Cheng Tian's parents. After occupying the Mu family's property, the Cheng family also successfully replaced their identities and took the place of the original Mu family. As for that house, you guessed it right, it is the house where the Mu family originally lived!"

"It looks like we've found almost everything. Now we just need to find that so-called apartment." Yu Jiuyin quickly determined the next key point. However, another question popped up in his mind soon after. "What do you think this person wants? What does he get by exchanging his life for someone else's?"

"..." Rong Qing remained silent, but his heart was filled with confusion. He had considered Yu Jiuyin's question before. After calculating the Mu family's inheritance, he was even more confused.

Because the entire Mu family inheritance went into the pockets of the Cheng family, Rong Qing later investigated several other families suspected of having exchanged lives, and the conclusions they reached were all the same.

In other words, if someone helps someone else exchange their life, they won't get any money from it, so why would they do this? After all, exchanging lives can shorten one's lifespan!

No matter how they thought about it, Rongqing and Yu Jiuyin couldn't figure out the cause and effect, and in the end they could only put the matter aside.

"I've investigated several cases of life-swapping. But there's no evidence to prove anything. These people did succeed in exchanging lives, but the vast majority died within ten years of doing so. Cheng Tian's family is the one that has lived the longest."

"But Cheng Tian's family was three years ago." Yu Jiuyin arranged the list Rong Qing had compiled into a table, and finally drew a timeline. "Rongrong, have you noticed? The later someone's life was saved, the longer they lived."

"you mean……"

"Do you think he might be doing an experiment?"

"What's the purpose?"

"The goal is to keep the person whose life is being exchanged alive?" Yu Jiuyin said, still feeling something was amiss. "But that's far-fetched. If the person's condition was serious enough to require a life exchange, then it must have already been done. If that's already been done, why does he keep doing this experiment?"

"Perhaps immortality, an indestructible soul?" Rong Qing thought of another possibility. But even so, it still didn't make sense. The human body has a lifespan, unless he could transfer to another person's body.

"It would be nice if there was a ready-made candidate."

"Yes, there is a couple. Zhang Yao found some clues before." Rong Qing handed a family list to Yu Jiuyin.

They were sisters, and if there was one thing they were particularly good-looking at, it was that they were both beautiful. Coincidentally, the younger sister also had a leg problem and needed a wheelchair. Like Cheng Tian's mother, they had received an invitation from the apartment building owner, but these sisters were both atheists and considered the owner a psychopath. Coincidentally, Zhang Yao was investigating there when the older sister overheard the invitation and, remembering the flyer she had received, she quickly delivered it to Zhang Yao.

Zhang Yao immediately sent the letter to Rong Qing and thoroughly investigated the sisters' affairs. After all, at this critical moment, the sisters were the biggest breakthrough point in the case.

The only embarrassing thing is that both of them are hair salon girls.

Yu Jiuyin laughed after reading it, "Rongrong, are you going to get in the water?"

Rong Qing calmly replied, "Then will you buy me?"

Yu Jiuyin leaned over to his lips and kissed him, "I can't afford it. After all, we have to go to the sea together."

Are you serious about going into the sea together? Rong Qing originally wanted to find two subordinates to disguise themselves, but seeing Yu Jiuyin's posture, he planned to go alone.

But then again, they probably had to go, the two of them. If those burly guys really set up shop and had girls guarding the salon, there'd be no telling who would be whoring with whom. Besides, they didn't have any information about the apartment owner right now. What if those guys weren't up to the task, got tricked, or alerted the enemy? It would be easier for them to go on their own.

After exchanging another glance with Yu Jiuyin, Rongqing confirmed Yu Jiuyin's plan and simply told his subordinates to make the arrangements. Before that, they still had to make some preparations. Fortunately, this time, the identity was easier to handle.

Two weeks later, the hair salon street

This place is arguably the most chaotic in City B, especially at night, when it becomes a hodgepodge of people, from all walks of life. However, today, a small shop at the end of this street, which had previously struggled to find business, was surprisingly booming. The reason was simple: a pair of young sisters had recently arrived. The elder sister was tall and charming, the younger sister delicate and beautiful. Almost everyone passing by couldn't help but take a look inside.

There's no way around it; these two sisters are just too alluring. At first glance, they're all heavily made-up, but their looks and temperament are truly stunning. Especially the older sister, whose eyes seem to hold a hook; a single glance is enough to hook someone's soul.

Almost every now and then, someone would come over to ask about the price. Such a beauty is really rare.

Outside the hair salon, Zhang Yao and Yi Tian, ​​who were waiting there, watched these people committing suicide and silently lit a candle for them in their hearts.

The author has something to say: Yu Jiuyin: I am the most beautiful girl on this street~

Rongqing: Zhaodi, you are too arrogant.
