Chapter 48: Case Solved

"What about you? Don't you have to raise your fee as well?" Lin Zhixian said, "You are my mother, the one who inherited my inheritance. You can't charge too little."

"It's natural." San Xiangu said proudly, "I have already risen now."

"Ah? Why didn't I know that?" Lin Zhixian widened his eyes.

"You're so busy, what can you know?" The Three Fairies rolled her eyes at her.

"Does the guest have any objections?" Lin Zhixian didn't care.

"Tsk, I have so many customers now, if you have any complaints, just leave." San Xiangu said firmly: "In our line of work, there is no unified standard for charging. What do we look at? It's reputation. If you are famous, you can charge a high price. If you are famous, people will ask you to pay for it even if you ask for a higher price. So you can't slack off. Your current reputation is like a bubble, it will burst if you poke it, so you must show your true ability in the next few days and destroy this reputation."

Lin Zhixian nodded: "Except for the matter of that nobleman, which cannot be announced to the public today, the other two were settled on the spot, and everyone saw it clearly."

“Your calculations these past few days were indeed very good, but the results are basically not immediate, and the effects are still much worse. If Luo Xuan’s search for someone had been moved to these few days, you would have made a little adjustment and ruined your reputation as a fortune teller.” The Three Fairies said regretfully.

Lin Zhixian smiled and said, "It's okay. We never thought about being in the newspapers before, but didn't Food Weekly come to us to report on it? At that time, we thought it was great to be in Food Weekly. Who would have thought that the popularity of Food Weekly had not yet passed, and it would be in such a big entertainment newspaper? What does this prove? It proves that I have this luck. God wants me to be famous, so we don't have to rush."

The Third Fairy sneered, "You are so shameless. Are you still going to say that you are destined to be here? Why don't you just die of happiness?"

Lin Zhixian chuckled: "Isn't it fate that I am chosen? I just got a golden finger and I have the opportunity to become famous immediately. Isn't it that God will come out to punish those bad guys? Do you think I am chosen by fate?"

“Don’t come and give me trouble.” San Xiangu laughed and scolded. The mother and daughter recovered a little. Lin Zhixian stood up and said, “I’m so tired. I won’t clean up the shop for now. Go back and take a shower and go to bed. Come back early tomorrow to clean up.”

"That's fine." San Xiangu was not as good as Lin Zhixian. She was older after all. She was exhausted from working day and night. "Let's go."

Stop talking nonsense. Haven’t you said enough today?

After two busy days, Lin Zhixian almost didn't know what day it was.

On this day, Lin Zhixian was busy in the store, and Zhao Meiqi came to her and said, "Ah Xian."

"Sister Qi?" Lin Zhixian saw that Zhao Meiqi was still a little confused and couldn't come back to her senses: "Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Meiqi smiled and said, "Fang Yuan's case has been solved. The boss invited us to have dinner at my restaurant. He wanted to invite you and Ah Hui to join him. Is it convenient for you?"

"Ah?" It took Lin Zhixian a while to remember what case Zhao Meiqi was talking about, and then he was surprised: "It only took a few days to solve the case, you guys are amazing. Do I have to call you a female detective from now on?"

Zhao Meiqi smiled and said, "I really don't dare to accept your call of female detective, but female detective is my goal. I hope that one day I can be a female detective with real credentials. However, this time we were able to solve the case so smoothly, thanks to the clues you provided, so the boss said that he must treat you to a meal to show his appreciation."

"Don't be so polite. These are what I should do as a citizen of Hong Kong. As for eating--" Lin Zhixian was about to refuse.

Zhao Meiqi stopped her from speaking: "I know you are in the newspapers now, you are famous, and many customers come to you for fortune-telling, but what time is it now? You should have eaten. Let's go over and eat together, it will be like a rest, it won't waste a lot of your time."

Lin Zhixian looked outside and found that it was indeed dark, and the colorful lights on the street signs were flickering.

My stomach started to growl. "If that's the case, I won't be polite. You go ahead and I'll talk to my mom."

"Okay, then we'll wait for you at the coffee restaurant." Zhao Meiqi left first.

Lin Zhixian said something to Sanxiangu, who took a sip of water and said, "Come back soon."

"Got it." Lin Zhixian said, "I'll ask someone to bring you food later."

"Yes." The Three Fairies nodded in response and continued to tell fortunes for the customer.

Lin Zhixian tidied up a bit and went to the coffee shop.

"Hey, our fortune teller Lin is here." Aunt Zhao joked when she saw her.

Lin Zhixian smiled and said, "Aunt Zhao, you should change your words. I have been to your place for dinner every day these days, haven't I?"

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. Who calls you Aunt Zhao? I haven't read many books. I can't come up with anything new to praise people."

"Is your mother still working?" Aunt Zhao asked again, "Let me tell you, San Xiangu is really working so hard, working from morning till midnight every day, how can she make all the money? She should rest more, you should persuade your mother."

Lin Zhixian said: "You think I haven't tried to persuade you? But I have to persuade you. If you have time, why don't you help me persuade you."

"But in the final analysis, if you don't make money, you're a bastard," Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "It's better to make more money while this is going on."

Lin Zhixian’s appearance in the newspaper not only made him famous, but also benefited the entire Baifu Street. After all, when people come to this street, they always have to stroll around and buy something to eat, right?

"Then why are you still talking about me?" Lin Zhixian said angrily, "If you ask me to talk, you will feel uncomfortable if you don't talk to me for a few words."

"You know that." Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, Inspector Xiao and the others are waiting for you to have dinner over there, go over. Where is your mother? I'll ask someone to bring food over later."

"OK, thank you very much." Lin Zhixian then walked towards Xiao Jing and others.

"Lin the Divine Calculator." Da Zui Wei raised his hand to greet her: "Come over quickly, you are the only one missing."

"I'm here." Lin Zhixian walked over and greeted everyone: "Inspector Xiao, everyone."

Xiao Jing nodded, and Yacasu and Guhanluo also greeted her.

"If you don't come over, only the soup base will be left." Big Mouth laughed.

"I'm late, I'll punish myself with a cup of tea." Lin Zhixian poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

"Hey, hey, hey, shouldn't you drink a glass of wine as a punishment for yourself? What's the point of drinking tea?" Da Zui Wei picked up the beer and was about to fill it up for Lin Zhixian.

Lin Zhixian quickly held down his teacup and said, "I've been talking all day and I really don't want to drink anymore."

Da Zui Wei was about to stir up trouble, but Xiao looked at him and said, "Miss Lin, if you don't want to drink, don't drink."

Da Zui Wei then stopped.

Lin Zhixian sat down: "I just heard from Sister Qi that you solved Fang Yuan's murder case? Congratulations to you."

"Thank you for providing important clues." Yacasu couldn't help but feel happy when he said this.

Lin Zhixian was curious: "Who is the murderer? Is it really someone from the hourly room?"
