Chapter 123 Exploding Toilet

"Yes." Wen Chong returned Tu Lanxun's shocked expression. "That woman committed suicide a year after graduation. She was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Everyone thought she didn't want to suffer through the agonizing treatment, so for the sake of her dignity, she decided to embrace death early."

Tu Lanxun looked at Wen Chong and suddenly asked, "But you discovered something else, right?"

Wen Chong smiled and said, "Indeed. After investigation, it was found that the girl contacted Kris before committing suicide. It can even be said that she committed suicide in front of Kris."

"What do you mean by considered?" Tu Lanxun asked puzzledly.

"A live stream." Wen Chong sighed softly. "This might be a way for them to communicate emotionally. Kris went silent for a long time afterwards, but according to his former apartment nanny abroad, Kris actually didn't have any feelings for that woman. It's not so much that he's grieving for the deceased, or dwelling on the pain of past sweetness, but rather that he's simply been shaken by the incident, just like witnessing a car accident always leaves a psychological scar."

"But... I naturally have a feeling that Kris's AI wife might be the incarnation or variation of that girl. No young person would not be impressed by an ex-lover committing suicide in front of them," said Tu Lanxun.

"Very sharp intuition. I have the same idea as you." Wen Chong replied.

Tu Lanxun subconsciously avoided using love to explain the relationship between Kris and the girl. She preferred to think that it was a shock to her spirit and worldview. However, for Kris, her words might be enlightenment rather than damage.

Youth, a fortune, an old college crush, and the girl's decision to commit suicide that Kris had expressed...

How could he not be affected? But perhaps Kris was not the one who took the lead in this death, it was entirely the decision of the girl herself.

What kind of mood and beliefs did she have that led her to refuse treatment and end her life?

Did she really kill herself?

Tu Lanxun suddenly looked at Wen Chong: "Wait, there are ghosts in this world."

Wen Chong looked at Tu Lanxun with a playful smile. "You finally figured it out. You're not slow. But I have to pour cold water on you. We haven't found the ghost of that girl yet. That was thirty or forty years ago."

"But you haven't found a place yet." Tu Lanxun said calmly, "The target location pointed to by the landscape painting."

Wen Chong seemed very happy. "I always feel that it's a bit of a waste to put you in the development zone as a community manager... Are you interested in the capital?"

Tu Lanxun said honestly: "Not now."

This topic was put aside, and Wen Chong said that the investigation team would set out tomorrow to confirm the details of the last few target locations.

"I will follow the team, and Xiao Lu and Xiao Zhao will follow me. If you have any questions, contact Li Ao. If it's something important, you can also find Director Meng. They may need you." Wen Chong said.

Tu Lanxun was surprised, "Can't I come along?"

"If we go together, it means our ghostly powers are excessive, which is called a numerical overflow in the game." Wen Chong gave Tu Lanxun a slight look. "Leaving you behind means I'll be guarding Lucheng."

Tu Lanxun said, "Okay then."

Wen Chong put away the folder and stood up from the sofa, meaning he was sending her off. Tu Lanxun was about to leave when Wen Chong stopped her and said, "Get ready at the convenience store. Li Ao's actions are also coming to a head. Be prepared to travel on field missions."

"Didn't Huang Hejiang find it?" Tu Lanxun asked.

Wen Chong laughed: "Adan's tail is showing."

Tu Lanxun's expression lit up, and then Wen Chong gently pushed him out the door. N was standing outside.

The door closed behind him, and Tu Lanxun muttered softly, "You came out of the bathroom?"

N: "Yeah. It doesn't smell good inside."

The two drove back to the development zone. Tu Lanxun's head was filled with thoughts about the Kris brothers and the younger Dong family member. She felt she hadn't had enough brain power lately. Just as she tilted her head to look at the streetlight and heard the sound of a cooling fan spinning in her head, N suddenly spoke.

"What did Wen Chong say to you? And what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Tu Lanxun numbly replied, "The history of twins and a girl who committed suicide."

"Sounds like a movie," N commented.

Tu Lanxun got excited: "You've been with Kris for so long, what's your impression of him?"

N thought for a moment and said, "He is a man who lives a very simple life."

"Plain?" Tu Lanxun didn't quite understand the word.

N explained, "He doesn't have many of the lifestyle habits of wealthy people, such as gambling, drinking, women, and all sorts of extravagant and even excessive indulgences. He lives a disciplined life, and his only romantic partner is Teacher Nie. He even dislikes overly sweet, heavy, or fishy food, preferring rather light flavors."

Tu Lanxun asked, "Anything else?"

N said, "He's a bit gloomy, with a pretty profound view of the world. He sometimes chats with us. Kris has a tendency to scrutinize and even dismantle most things, including himself. He likes practicality and hates a lot of empty talk."

Tu Lanxun found it strange: "I like to be practical, but I am loyal to my AI wife."

N remained noncommittal. "If ghosts are real, why do you think AI is imaginary?"

He then changed the subject, "But Kris's love for practical things might be more old-fashioned. For example, he loves fresh, natural fruits and vegetables, and absolutely hates molecular gastronomy. He enjoys watching black-and-white silent films, but almost hates those whiny, pseudo-art films."

"Molecular gastronomy," Tu Lanxun muttered. "It's those expensive dishes where everything is either pounded into a paste or frozen. I don't like it either."

N seemed to laugh, but when Tu Lanxun turned around to look, the other person's profile was still as cold and smooth as moonlight.

Tu Lanxun wanted to remain silent; this quiet atmosphere was perfect for moon-gazing or perhaps watching N. But she couldn't stop herself. "I heard Ah Dan was almost caught, but there's still no sign of Huang Hejiang. What was your relationship like with them? Where did they usually hide? And Dong Tianlong..."

N gave Tu Lanxun a tired look and gently interrupted her chatter, "Qianniu Adan and I used to work in two different departments. I've been with Kris all year round, but I'm abroad, not in China. Also, do you think Kris might assign me to take care of Dong Tianlong?"

Tu Lanxun tried hard to suppress his laughter: "Indeed, I can't."

If N, the fox with a smiling face but a black heart, was sent to Dong Tianlong, there was a small chance that he would kill Dong Tianlong, but there was a high chance that he would be directly killed by Dong Tianlong - it would definitely be much more satisfying than killing the gentle and cowardly Wu Qingchu.

"But I do know something else." N slowly stopped the car in front of the convenience store. "Huang Hejiang and Adan don't know, but maybe Dong Tianlong can try his luck at a place you've been to."

Tu Lanxun didn't give N any room to pretend to be profound, and directly understood: "Eight Great Mountains."

There is a town near Badapan Mountain, and that place is also the burial place of Wu Qingchu. What if Dong Tianlong suddenly has a change of heart and wants to run there?

Especially now is a lean period for the Tianguo Group and Deshi Hospital, the pests can feel the coming of a severe cold weather.

Maybe Dong Tianlong also wants to find a warm place to lean on, closer to his brother's grave, even if it's only for ten days or half a month?

Tu Lanxun sent this speculation to Wen Chong, asking her to focus on searching for Dong Tianlong when leading the team through Bada Panshan. After sending it, she began to think about how to get N a credit with the Tourism Administration.

She couldn't help but scold herself for being stupid, but then she felt helpless.

When N acted like a bad guy, the Tourism Administration had not yet fully settled in Lucheng. At that time, Tu Lanxun didn't dare to help him prove his innocence, and he didn't agree.

By the time N's past surfaced, proving him to be a pure, unlucky individual with a lot of grievances, the Tourism Bureau had already begun ghost interrogation and characterization procedures. Revealing N at this point would risk forced investigation and interrogation.

It's all his fault for being so stubborn! If he had just told me everything on his first day at the convenience store instead of pretending to be so stubborn, there wouldn't be so much trouble!

Why is she playing the role of a mournful silence? Now she is an illegal immigrant. She also has to be a double agent.

Tu Lanxun scolded N in his heart and got out of the car in a bad mood. N also got out of the driver's seat. The moment he closed the car door, he realized and asked Tu Lanxun: "Hey, why am I driving today?"

"Because you need to reflect." Tu Lanxun said without turning back, "Reflect on why you are always absent-minded about yourself."

N wasn't angry at all. He even tapped his head and said, "Oh, maybe I stayed in the bathroom for too long. I was a little dazed..."

This is really stupid. Tu Lanxun can't even breathe.

But why doesn't it seem like N's style? He's always cool, smooth, and sharp, like a cat covered in thorns that becomes a long, soft strip when held.

When did he become so good at agreeing with others?

It's simply to the point where the more you try to cover it up, the more obvious it becomes.

When Tu Lanxun realized something was wrong, Xiao Zhang's message had already come in, and he was excited but also a little panicked.

Xiao Zhang: Have you heard? The public restroom on the east side of the second floor of our bureau exploded!

Tu Lanxun replied with a “?”.

Xiao Zhang sent two photos: Look, it was definitely invaded by something weird, the police station was actually invaded by something weird!

Tu Lanxun clicked on the original picture, which was the toilet next door. There was a men's toilet, a women's toilet, and a washbasin outside. The stone washbasin was split in half, the mirror was shattered like a spider web, the urinal was in pieces, and the door of the bathroom stall was like a big mouth with missing teeth, as if it had been hit by a tornado.

It’s just a matter of writing a few big words: “It’s beyond human power”!

Xiao Zhang continued to add to the case: Director Wen said that this scene didn't happen when she came out of the toilet. It was only ten minutes before the next discoverer went in, and no one else went in during that time. How could it become like that?

Tu Lanxun took a deep breath. She really underestimated N.

"Why are you demolishing the toilet in someone else's police station?" Tu Lanxun couldn't help but grab N who was cooking noodles.

The next sentence is: "Luckily, we weren't discovered. Otherwise, I'll pay you some money."

N glanced over calmly: "Don't pay."

"Are you scared now?" Tu Lanxun laughed in anger. "Then what were you thinking when you destroyed the toilet?"

N paused as he was chopping a tomato, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe... it's just too smelly in there."
