A new neighbor moved in next door. Su Huaiwang saw her through the fence. The girl was slender and soft, her exposed skin transparently white in the summer sunlight, yet with the cool, jade-like te...
Chapter 29: Remember to repel mosquitoes in the summer "She?" Su Huaiwang was surprised...
"She?" Su Huaiwang exclaimed in surprise, then hesitated for a moment: "She has nothing to do with what we said, right...?"
Lei Yinyin smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "Don't worry, I just want to ask her about the specific situation at that time."
Su Huaiwang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then could you please, officer, not tell me that I have amnesia?"
After that, she added, "Well... I don't really want others to know."
After all, when encountering such a supernatural thing, Su Huaiwang didn't want to scare Lin Jue, and he didn't want to make the other party worry about him.
That's right, just during the ten minutes or so of talking with Lei Yinyin, she was completely certain that her amnesia was definitely not pathological or psychological.
As for Lei Yinyin, she did not doubt that she was a public official. Rather, if gods and ghosts existed in the world, it would be strange if the government did not control them.
Both she and Lei Yinyin were pretending to be ignorant even though they knew the truth. She pretended not to know, and Lei Yinyin pretended not to know.
This is good for both parties. Knowing too much is not a good thing.
But letting her know and letting Lin Jue know are completely different concepts. She is the person involved, and Lin Jue has nothing to do with this matter.
If possible, Su Huaiwang didn't want Lin Jue to be involved.
Lei Yinyin looked at Su Huaiwang's conflicted expression and immediately knew what she was thinking.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
According to her intuition, the person Su Huaiwang wanted to protect might be the source of her danger.
She just had no evidence.
The doorbell rang again, Su Huaiwang came to his senses and hurried to open the door.
Outside the door was Lin Jue as usual, smiling and holding something in his hand.
"Do you want a pear? They're very fresh. I'll share some with you."
Su Huaiwang said thank you, took the bag, and turned slightly to reveal Lei Yinyin behind him.
The smile on Lin Jue's lips did not fade, but his expression changed inexplicably.
"What is this?" She turned her head to look at Su Huaiwang.
Su Huaiwang felt inexplicably guilty, as if he had been caught in an affair:
"The police officer who called a couple of days ago said he was going to do a return visit."
"Hmm?" The girl hummed in confusion. "Is it really that efficient?"
"After all, we can't delay the work and lives of ordinary people. The higher-ups have also instructed us to speed up our work." Lei Yinyin raised an eyebrow and extended a hand. "Hello, nice to see you again. I'm Lei Yinyin, and I'm with the Urban Rail Transit Bureau."
The woman in front of her emphasized the words "Urban Rail Processing Bureau" as if to remind her of something.
Lin Jue frowned, his expression unchanged.
"Urban Rail Processing Bureau? What kind of department is that?"
"The department that handles emergencies! Hey! You know, it's a government agency, so it's normal that we don't know much about it!" Before Lei Yinyin could answer, Su Huaiwang answered first.
Lin Jue looked at Su Huaiwang, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
She nodded slowly, looking thoughtful.
"But have I seen you before? Sorry, I have no recollection."
Lin Jue still didn't go. Lei Yinyin stretched out her hand, but Lei Yinyin didn't feel embarrassed and took her hand back.
"I spoke to you that day at Baiyang Temple."
"Really? That's quite fate. Unfortunately you're too tall and I can only see the lower half of your face, so I can't quite remember it." Lin Jue showed a regretful expression on his face.
Lei Yinyin was born tall, estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall, so this reason was quite appropriate.
But Lei Yinyin just felt that Lin Jue was speaking to her in a sarcastic way.
It's a pity for the other person's good looks.
Lei Yinyin calmed down and said with a smile, "It's okay. Since you're here, I wonder if you could answer some of my questions?"
"What? Are you conducting a public opinion poll?" Lin Jue looked her up and down with a smile.
Lei Yinyin shook her head. "That's not the case. I just feel like you and Miss Su seem to have a very close relationship. To be honest, we've hit a bottleneck in the investigation we're doing for Miss Su, and we're hoping to get your help."
As early as when she mentioned intimacy, Lin Jue's attention was no longer on her.
She turned her head and looked at Su Huaiwang with shining eyes without saying a word.
Su Huaiwang looked away, a blush crept up on his ear, and he whispered, "That's not what I said..."
Lei Yinyin looked at the atmosphere between the two and felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.
She could only cough lightly and bring the subject back to the topic: "So what you mean is...?"
To her surprise, Lin Jue agreed readily: "Sure."
"I don't know what it is, but it would be great if I could help."
The amber eyes moved around and returned to Su Huaiwang, smiling at her quietly, giving people the illusion of drowning in them.
For the first time, Lei Yinyin began to doubt her intuition.
If the other party is really a ghost, even if she doesn't panic after hearing the name of the Ghost Punishment Bureau, there is no need to show such sisterly love.
Is there really nothing wrong with Lin Jue?
Lei Yinyin suppressed the doubts in her heart and temporarily focused her attention on the harmless girl in front of her.
"In that case, thank you for your understanding. Let's talk inside." Lei Yinyin made way.
When her heart was full of suspicion towards Lin Jue, she subconsciously stopped him outside this human residence.
"Could you please come together?" Lei Yinyin nodded to Su Huaiwang, and her tone unconsciously became much lighter.
Lin Jue paused and glanced at the righteous face that smiled like a spring breeze. He almost suspected that the other party was behaving like this in order to reveal his emotional fluctuations.
But after a moment, she snorted and gave up thinking about it.
Even if she revealed her flaws, so what? With such a small Taoist priest, even if she deliberately revealed her flaws, the other party would not be able to detect anything.
…
"So you moved here recently?"
"yes."
"Would you mind asking why?"
"Family tragedy."
"What kind of family change is it?"
"My parents are dead."
…
Su Huaiwang sat next to them, watching the two of them talking back and forth, feeling a little strange.
Both of them asked and answered questions very quickly, which was completely different from the feeling when Lei Yinyin asked her.
Although the purpose was nominally to obtain information, Su Huaiwang felt that this was more like a debate, with the two of them engaging in a bloodless confrontation.
It was the first time that Su Huaiwang saw Lin Jue being so strong, and he felt...
She subconsciously raised her hand to cover the corner of her mouth with a smile that was a bit lustful and heart-beating.
Who knew that such a small action would attract the attention of both people.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
They both said in unison, then locked eyes with each other.
Su Huaiwang was a little confused: "No... I just yawned."
Lei Yinyin withdrew his gaze, his expression normal.
She thought that the strange person opposite had done something.
If Lin Jue heard this, she would probably laugh out loud in anger: The possibility of you biting Su Huaiwang is greater than the possibility of her doing anything to Su Huaiwang, right?
"Then, next question," Lei Yinyin lowered her eyes to the electronic file in her hand: "Where is your native place, and where did you usually live before?"
"Minguan."
Like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, Lei Yinyin looked up in astonishment, unable to believe that the other party had said it so directly.
The girl opposite her narrowed her eyes slightly and a strange curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"What's wrong, officer? I grew up in Fujian, is there anything strange about this?"
"...No." Lei Yinyin glanced at Su Huaiwang, who nodded at her. "It's just that you know that Miss Su disappeared in Minguan for a while, so she's a little sensitive to this place name."
"Oh?" The arc widened a bit. Even in the cold room, beads of sweat appeared on Lei Yinyin's forehead. "Do you suspect I kidnapped her?"
She quickly analyzed the environment of the venue out of the corner of her eye. If the person opposite her was really a ghost, how should she escape with Su Huaiwang if she was no match for her?
Wait... no match for her? Why would she subconsciously have such thoughts?
His eyes suddenly locked onto Su Huaiwang. She looked a little nervous, but obviously not for the same reason as hers.
"If possible, I would rather I was the one who kidnapped her. That way, maybe we could have met earlier."
Lin Jue lowered his head and sighed as if with regret.
In her sight, Su Huaiwang's nervousness turned into embarrassment. She pinched the skin on the back of the girl's hand in anger:
"I'm missing, not kidnapped!"
Lin Jue turned his head to face her, his amber eyes curved into an arc: "I know, I know, sorry, I accidentally wanted to make a joke."
After saying that, he turned his head back, and the warm feeling disappeared instantly: "I guess the officer won't care about this little kid's mischief, right?"
Do you ever say such words out loud?
Lei Yinyin suddenly felt a chill all over her body, but she couldn't tell why.
"Of course not." She said patiently, suppressing the goosebumps on her body.
The girl in front of her is clearly as delicate as ice and jade, but why does she always feel vaguely repulsed?
"By the way, how old are you?"
"twenty."
"It's a little bigger than I thought."
Lin Jue did not answer. Her eyes wandered, and from time to time she wanted to drift towards Su Huaiwang who was sitting next to her. It was obvious that she had lost interest in the little Taoist priest in front of her.
How could Lei Yinyin not understand this? He struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Then let's get to the point. How much do you remember about Miss Su fainting due to 'low blood sugar' that day?"
Lin Jue's gaze finally fell on her:
"We were out for a walk and she collapsed. I brought her back home, that's all."
Before Lei Yinyin could say anything, Su Huaiwang screamed out:
"You brought me back?!"
"Yeah? Otherwise, how would you come back?" Lin Jue blinked.
Su Huaiwang, who had just stood up, sat down again, curled up in a red ball like a quail.
"You look thin, but I didn't expect you to be so strong."
"That's why our teacher taught us not to judge people by their appearance, right?" Lin Jue replied bluntly.
"That's right." Lei Yinyin didn't want to argue with her any further. "So you really didn't feel anything strange at the time?"
"Officer, I'm a materialist, so no."
"No, that's not what I meant--" Lei Yinyin suddenly got stuck. She remembered what Lin Jue said about gods and Buddhas at the Aries Temple that day. He didn't seem like a materialist at all.
She understood instantly.
Looking at Lin Jue again, he lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes were clearly visible, and he exuded undisguised malice.
"Well, let's stop here today." Lei Yinyin calmly put away the files and sat up from the sofa.
"Is this the end?" Su Huaiwang was still confused. The other party came suddenly and left suddenly.
"Well, I can't ask any more information." She said meaningfully.
Lin Jue smiled but said nothing. Su Huaiwang frowned and subconsciously lowered his voice:
"so……"
"Don't worry for now. Use the mosquito repellents first. I'll send you some stronger ones when I get back."
Although Lei Yinyin said this to Su Huaiwang, her eyes were always on Lin Jue.
Under her gaze, Lin Jue slowly spoke:
"I'm afraid that won't be necessary. She's already got the one I gave her, and it's probably doing the job. Look, the house is so clean, the officer shouldn't have to worry about it."
Su Huaiwang glanced at her in confusion, feeling that Lin Jue seemed a little strange today.
The police officer opposite also had a frozen expression.
Lei Yinyin looked at the creature in front of him, which was almost certainly a ghost, and said word by word:
"That's not necessarily true."
