Chapter 92 I think of you every minute and every second
The sea cockroaches started to stir again, and Liu Yongchang couldn't help but scream in terror.
"I've told you everything! Get these bugs away!!"
Where is the lantern?
Xie Xun looked down at the man who had suffered the backlash and said succinctly, "Are you in your Liu Clan Ancestral Hall right now?"
Liu Yongchang opened his mouth, then suddenly his eyes bulged out, and a terrifying gurgling sound came from his throat. A wisp of black smoke shot out from his chest, instantly burning him to a crisp.
Fu Qinghuai narrowed his eyes. "This old monster is really ruthless."
The clue suddenly went cold, and Xie Xun's heart tightened. He suddenly remembered, "Jiang Lehui and Shen Zhaoyao!"
"rest assured,"
Fu Qinghuai gently put his arm around his shoulder, leaned down and kissed him on the cheek, his voice becoming sticky and sweet, with the adorable charm of a green tea puppy, "I've already protected your childhood friend and his girlfriend with a barrier."
After saying that, he buried his face in Xie Xun's neck and rubbed against her, completely losing the crazy, thuggish demeanor he had shown in the mirror. "Xunxun, did you miss me these past two hours? Even though it hasn't been long, I've been thinking about you every single second..."
Xie Xun was taken aback by his sudden change, then a smile appeared in his eyes.
He reached out and ruffled Fu Qinghuai's hair. "Good boy."
"That……"
Fu Qinghuai looked up with sparkling peach blossom eyes, and gently touched his lips with his fingertips. "How about a reward?"
Seeing his obedient and eager-for-a-reward appearance, Xie Xun's frustration caused by the complete loss of clues vanished instantly.
Compared to Jingling, he preferred Fu Qinghuai like this.
She knows how to act coquettishly, how to show weakness, how to bow her head, and how to hand over all the initiative to him.
To be honest, he really enjoyed the feeling.
After a while.
"Lower your head." Xie Xun smiled.
Fu Qinghuai immediately bowed down obediently, closed his eyes and waited, only to be lightly flicked on the forehead.
"Let's get down to business first."
Xie Xun turned and walked out of the cabin, his tone clearly indulgent, "I'll reward you properly after we deal with the lanterns."
Fu Qinghuai touched his forehead where he had been flicked, laughing like a large dog wagging its tail like a propeller. As he quickly caught up, he put his arm around the man's waist and whispered in his ear, "It's a promise, Xunxun can't go back on your word."
Xie Xun ignored him, but the tips of his ears turned red.
As he passed the sea roaches, a thought crossed his mind, and the swarms of disgusting insects immediately receded like a tide, leaping into the sea in a flurry.
This feels fucking awesome!
Turns out, driving these weird contraptions is so simple.
Chaos reigned on the ship, with many guests still vomiting, clearly having consumed plenty of the spiked seafood. Several waiters were busy inducing vomiting in the unfortunate guests lying on the floor, and a sour, foul odor permeated the deck.
Xie found the still-shaken captain and said directly, "Sail back to the dock. I've contacted the Special Incidents Bureau."
After explaining everything, Xie Xun walked aside and dialed a number he had saved at the haunted house.
"Captain Zhou, this is Xie Xun. There's been an emergency on the Ocean Charm cruise ship, and we need your help."
The other person seemed to pause for a moment, then the sound of pen and paper came through: "The exact location?"
"Returning to port, arriving at Pier 3 in half an hour."
Xie Xun paused for a moment, then said, "This matter involves the Liu family of Hong Kong."
After a moment of silence, Zhou Wei's voice became noticeably serious, "The Liu family? Are you sure?"
"Confirmed. They use evil magic to harm people. We'll discuss the details in person."
As soon as the ship docked, Zhou Wei and his team were already waiting at the pier. The captain looked even more haggard than the last time I saw him, and he quickly came to greet Xie Xun when he saw him.
"Mr. Xie, the Liu family you mentioned on the phone..."
"They used living people as sacrifices."
Xie Xun interrupted him, pointing to the cabin, "But the main culprit is already dead."
Zhou Wei rubbed his temples and gestured for his team members to board the boat and collect evidence first.
He lowered his voice only after the person had walked away.
"Perfect timing... The case we've been investigating recently is also related to the Liu family."
As he spoke, Zhou Wei pulled a file from his briefcase. "Three people disappeared near the Liu Clan Ancestral Hall. When they were found, they were all mummified. We can't find any clues..."
He glanced at Fu Qinghuai behind Xie Xun and handed over the file. "Since you've already dealt with them, would you like to take a look?"
The archival photos were horrifying; the three corpses looked as if they had been drained of all moisture, their skin clinging tightly to their bones, but strangely, they all wore peaceful smiles on their faces.
Xie Xun took the file, his fingertips tracing the eerie smiles on the photos.
Fu Qinghuai leaned over for a look and let out a soft "Eh."
"What?" Xie Xun turned his head to look at him.
"Xunxun, don't you think these people's smiles look familiar?"
Fu Qinghuai touched the forehead of one of the mummified corpses with his fingertip, "In the mirror world, did those paper figures laugh like this?"
Only after being reminded did Xie Xun realize that the corpses were laughing exactly like the paper figures in the opera troupe.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Zhou Wei anxiously pressed, "Have you seen similar situations before?"
"Um."
Xie Xun nodded slightly, said nothing more, took out his phone to take a picture of the file before closing it and handing it back to Zhou Wei, "We'll take this job. However..."
At this point, he glanced at the guests vomiting on the deck and said, "Let the medical team give them a full check-up, especially blood tests."
"It's already been arranged."
Zhou Wei breathed a sigh of relief. "Shall I pick you up tomorrow morning? Do you need any special equipment?"
Fu Qinghuai smiled and put his arm around Xie Xun, saying, "I want to eat the crab roe soup dumplings from that place in the east of the city!"
Don't listen to him.
Xie Xun glanced at him helplessly, then turned to Zhou Wei and said seriously, "Just prepare some cinnabar and peach wood nails. On the way, tell me why those three people insisted on going to the Liu Clan Ancestral Hall?"
Zhou Wei nodded, "Okay, we'll discuss it in detail on the way tomorrow."
After saying that, he nodded to Xie Xun and the other person and then went to direct his team to handle the scene.
Xie Xun turned around and found Jiang Lehui and his girlfriend Shen Zhaoyao, who were still in a daze on the deck.
The two poor little ones, with towels draped over their shoulders, were snuggling together, staring blankly at the Special Incident Handling Bureau staff bustling around.
Jiang Le looked up and saw Xie Xun, then immediately rushed over excitedly, saying, "Xun! I'm so glad you're all alright! I was so scared, I thought something had happened to you and Brother Fu!"
"Don't worry, we're fine."
Xie Xun patted his shoulder casually, "But you guys, are you alright?"
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Shen Zhaoyao beside him, her tone softening slightly, "Are you feeling alright?"
Shen Zhaoyao quickly waved her hand, her face pale, but her eyes were full of gratitude as she looked at Xie Xun.
"Thanks to Ah Xun for helping me back then... I'm just a little weak now."
She did look unwell, but her spirits were much better.
"It would be better to go to the hospital to get it checked out."
Xie Xun took out two triangular amulets from his pocket and handed them over. "Keep these with you at all times. Try not to go out these next few days and get some rest. I still have things to take care of at the shop, so I'll head back now."
Jiang Le took the amulet and looked at him with some concern, "A-Xun, those cockroaches..."
"It's been resolved."
Xie Xun interrupted him, saying in an unquestionable tone, "Call me if you need anything, go back and get a good night's sleep, don't think about anything else."
Jiang Lehui wanted to ask something, but she knew that she wouldn't get anything out of Xie Xun, this saw-mouthed gourd, so she could only nod reluctantly.
"Take care, Ah Xun. You... take good care of yourself. I'll pack some more delicious food for you next time I see you."
"good."
Watching his childhood friend help Shen Zhaoyao into the ambulance, Xie Xun sighed silently.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Jiang Le, but he felt it wasn't necessary to drag him into these matters.
The less you know, the safer you are.
"Searching,"
Fu Qinghuai appeared behind him without him noticing, gently wrapped his arms around his waist, and rested his chin on his shoulder. "Don't worry, your childhood friend has a protective spell I left for him, he'll be fine."
Xie Xun turned his head to look at him and suddenly smiled.
"Thanks."
