Chapter 12
Lin Sheng had expected the black dog to catch up with him, so he ran away first and quickly jumped onto the police car parked on the side of the road.
The two men in the car looked at each other blankly. It was the first time they had encountered such a situation and they were at a loss for a moment. They looked at the back seat and saw that the woman's eyebrows were red and her eyes were full of tears. She looked pitiful. The words that the two men were about to curse were blocked back.
Seeing the dazed looks in their eyes, Lin Sheng raised his hand and waved it in front of them, then said bluntly,
"It was your Captain Xu who asked me to come up. He's behind us and will be here soon."
The two of them only looked at Lin Sheng's face and couldn't hear what she said at all, and nodded blankly.
When Xu Guannan walked to the side of the car, he saw the man he was worried about sitting in the police car eating a lollipop.
"What are you doing up here?"
Lin Sheng showed a flattering smile and handed Xu Guannan a lollipop as if it were a "bribe". He answered as a matter of course,
"Black Dog will definitely send someone to arrest me. As long as Officer Xu and I stay together, he won't dare to act rashly. Just consider it as repaying the favor I did you for investigating the case last time. Officer Xu won't just stand by and watch me die, right?"
Four bodyguards happened to pass by and couldn't help but glance into the police car. Lin Sheng was so scared that he quickly squatted down and quickly stuck a talisman on himself. Xu Guannan and the other two watched Lin Sheng suddenly disappear before their eyes.
"Where is she...she...she? Captain Xu, where is that beautiful girl?"
After seeing the four bodyguards outside leave, Lin Sheng uncovered the talisman and reappeared in front of the three people.
"Hey! It's amazing. Little beauty, how did you do that? Teach me."
Seeing that he was curious, Lin Sheng put the talisman paper on him, and saw that the man also disappeared. Lin Sheng took the talisman paper away, and he reappeared. The other police officer understood instantly, and felt a burst of novelty. He immediately asked Lin Sheng for advice.
"Little beauty, where did you get this? Can you help me get one too? With this in hand, wouldn't it be super convenient to catch people in the future?"
Xu Guannan interrupted the three of them first, got into the car, and closed the door.
"Wen Yao, drive away first. It will be troublesome if those people catch up with us later."
Wen Yao nodded, started the police car, stepped on the accelerator, and immediately left the wholesale market.
Another police officer looked at Lin Sheng with curiosity, extended his hand, and took the initiative to introduce him.
"Little beauty, since you are Captain Xu's friend, you are also a friend of Wen Yao and me. I am Tang Ziyan."
Lin Sheng put the talisman into his hand, but did not shake his hand. He simply said,
"Lin Sheng, I drew the talisman myself. This one is for you."
Hearing this, Tang Ziyan's eyes lit up instantly, his face full of surprise, and he asked in disbelief,
"Ms. Lin...Ms. Lin, is this...really a gift for me?"
Lin Sheng nodded, his eyes calm.
"Thank you, Miss Lin. No! Thank you, Sister Lin! Then it will be easy for me to catch people from now on. In the near future, I will be promoted and replace Old Fu and take over the position of director!"
Xu Guannan listened from the side and said calmly,
"Are you sure you're not using it to slack off at work?"
The gleam in Tang Ziyan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he refuted with full confidence,
"Captain, how can you look at me like that? We are also ambitious young people of the new era. We won't do things like slacking off at work and playing games."
Lin Sheng, sitting next to them, felt the friendly atmosphere between the three and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Don't worry, Captain Xu. Talismans have a time limit. The talisman we just used only lasted two hours."
"I can still play for two hours. I'm satisfied. Thank you, Sister Lin, for the generous gift of the talisman!"
When Tang Ziyan heard the remaining usage time, he did not dislike it. Instead, he cherished the talisman paper even more. He put it carefully in his pocket, not wanting to make even the slightest wrinkle.
Wen Yao, who was standing by, looked at him with envy, but was too embarrassed to speak. Lin Sheng seemed to have noticed it long ago and put a talisman on Wen Yao's shoulder, with a faint smile on his face.
"This one's for you."
Seeing that Wen Yao did not disappear, Tang Ziyan felt curious.
"What is the function of this talisman paper?"
Wen Yao's eyes were full of excitement, and he wanted to say thank you out loud, but suddenly realized something was wrong. He couldn't open his mouth no matter what, his face turned red, and he could only make a "hmmmm" sound.
Tang Ziyan found it strange that he looked so miserable. He slapped Wen Yao on the shoulder and said teasingly,
"How come you're so excited that you can't even speak? You were quite talkative just now. This isn't like you."
Xu Guannan calmly peeled off the talisman paper on Wen Yao's shoulder without saying a word.
Wen Yao suddenly spoke up and spat at Tang Ziyan.
"Are you missing something in your brain? Can't you see that I'm feeling uncomfortable? Do I just not want to say it? I can't say it! Otherwise, do you think I'm blushing because I'm shy?"
Being scolded out of the blue, Tang Ziyan finally understood what was going on and smiled awkwardly without panicking.
"So that's how it is, haha, this is amazing, Sister Lin, can you teach me how to draw talisman paper?"
Lin Sheng smiled and looked at him, spread his hands, shook his head helplessly, and took over the conversation.
"This talisman paper can only be used if I draw it. The talisman paper you draw can only be used for psychological comfort."
After hearing this, Wen Yao and Tang Ziyan immediately gave up the idea.
Now seeing the effect of the talisman paper, Xu Guannan recalled their first meeting in the villa. At that time, the villa was covered with various talisman papers. He also heard about the formation from Lin Sheng's mouth. Now he really understood that Lin Sheng in front of him seemed a little mysterious.
Xu Guannan had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the formation last time, but he couldn't tell which link had gone wrong. The case was indeed closed successfully, but the doubts in his heart still did not disappear.
"Last time in the villa, you put up talismans all over the house. Did you know about the existence of those two corpses?"
Xu Guannan thought about it many times, but still couldn't figure it out. He might as well take this opportunity to ask directly.
Lin Sheng frowned slightly when he heard his sudden question. He didn't expect Xu Guannan to still remember it. He replied calmly,
"I don't know. Applying spells is a personal hobby. The villa seems strange, so I have to be careful. Otherwise, I might get beheaded in the middle of the night and not even know how I died. Captain Xu, how come you have time to come to the stone wholesale market today?"
Although Lin Sheng didn't want to hide it from Xu Guannan, she couldn't explain to him the fact that the formation had given rise to a little ghost. After all, people in this world didn't believe in theories about demons, gods, and ghosts.
She couldn't just give away the gold she had obtained, as it was earned through her hard work!
Xu Guannan saw that she seemed to be hiding something, so he stopped asking and answered her question directly.
"I received word that a fraud gang had infiltrated the stone market. I was originally going to investigate secretly today, but I heard someone daring to challenge Black Dog at 'Shifangpu'. Before I even entered, I heard your voice and simply revealed my identity."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, patted Xu Guannan's shoulder, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"It seems like I owe you a favor today. Perfect, Captain Xu, just consider it as repaying me for helping me investigate the case last time. We're even now."
Xu Guannan was puzzled, but his intuition told him that only by getting close to Lin Sheng could he understand what secrets the man in front of him was hiding.
"The last case was closed, but this time, the criminal I was looking for was lost because of you. How is Miss Lin going to compensate me? A piece of talisman paper is not enough."
Lin Sheng didn't expect that Xu Guannan looked so serious and upright. He didn't expect that he liked to be thrifty. He couldn't help complaining in his heart, "I charge 10,000 yuan for one talisman. If you want it next time, I won't sell it to you!"
Lin Sheng bit his back teeth to pieces, his lips moved slightly, as if he was secretly nagging Xu Guannan. A look of dissatisfaction was written all over his face. He glared at Xu Guannan and said unhappily,
"So what do you want to do? I'm just a weak, inexperienced woman. I can't help you catch criminals with my bare hands."
"Ms. Lin, you're not weak. Don't underestimate yourself. We've found out that the scammers stake out a blogger's livestream every night. We need you to register an account and help us detain them online. The longer the time, the better."
"Squatting live streams? Scammers also like to watch pussy-wiping videos?"
Tang Ziyan couldn't help but turned around and explained to Lin Sheng, denying it with a smile.
"It's not that kind of video. It's a video of a charlatan fortune-teller. I think the blogger's name is... Pie in the Sky... whatever it is, it's a long one. There are always some rich people with brains kicked by donkeys who would actually pay for fortune-telling."
Wen Yao couldn't help but interrupt.
"I heard that this might be a shill hired by the blogger, and it's all a script."
The smile on Lin Sheng's face suddenly disappeared. He looked gloomy and looked back and forth between the two of them with displeasure. He silently said,
"It was a piece of cake that fell from the sky and hit me on the head."
"Yes, yes, that's it, Sister Lin, you also like to watch this live broadcast..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Ziyan turned around and agreed with a smile. The moment he saw the expression on Lin Sheng's face, the smile suddenly shifted to Lin Sheng's face.
Lin Sheng showed a professional fake smile and greeted Tang Ziyan in a friendly voice.
"Guess why I know this? A charlatan. A script. A rich guy whose brains got kicked by a donkey. It seems like both of you have a lot of complaints about my livestream."
Tang Ziyan's face turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly seeped out of his back. He was trying to make up for it urgently.
"Sister Lin, Sister Lin! I'm so blind and blind. You usually wear a mask during live broadcasts, and everyone says you're too ugly to show your face. Who knew you were so naturally beautiful that you could embarrass people countless times? I apologize."
After saying that, Tang Ziyan automatically slapped himself twice, and slapped Wen Yao twice, not too hard or too lightly. Then, out of curiosity, he licked his mouth.
"Sister Lin, is this really not a script?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tang Ziyan received a roll of the eyes from Lin Sheng.
"Alright, alright, since you've been so hardworking and motivated, I'll let you open your eyes tonight. Just watch."
