Chapter 60 All Missing
The next morning, San Xiangu was as calm as ever, as if she hadn't said anything the night before. While eating breakfast, she said to Lin Zhixian, "From today on, you don't have to take care of anything except your three guests."
"Ah?" Lin Zhixian was confused: "What are you going to do? How can you entertain so many guests by yourself?"
"If you can't entertain me, then don't entertain me." San Xiangu said calmly, "There's no end to the money you can make anyway."
"That's not what you said before. You said that this wave of traffic would only last a week at most, and it would be almost recovered in a week. We should take advantage of this time to make more money and buy a house. Why did you change your mind after just a few days?" Lin Zhixian looked at her: "Is it because of Lin Zhiya?"
"What's so scary about that little bitch?" San Xiangu didn't think so. "I'm worried that Cheng Jiehua will take action. This woman is very insidious and cunning, not comparable to that little bitch. You have indeed grown very fast in the past few days, but it can only be regarded as a glimpse of the door. It's still a long way to go before you can enter the main hall. Originally, I was thinking of taking it slow. With your intelligence and dedication, you will definitely grow up, but I didn't expect that you grow too fast and are targeted by Cheng Jiehua and her daughter. There is not enough time. So I don't want you to waste your time on these things anymore. You have to seize the time to learn and master the spirit of fortune-telling faster."
Lin Zhixian was very touched: "Mom, I know you're worried and concerned, but don't you think that if Lin Zhiya shows up once, we'll be facing a powerful enemy. Don't you think too highly of her? If this gets reported back, it will be the biggest joke. In fact, we just need to maintain the current pace."
"Otherwise, people will think that we are incompetent and are really afraid of her." Lin Zhixian said with a smile.
"Bullshit, would I be afraid of her?" Sanxian Nun scolded, and then reacted and rolled her eyes at Lin Zhixian: "Okay, since you have your own ideas, I won't care about you anymore."
"Don't worry, Mom. I won't embarrass you." Lin Zhixian said with a smile.
That day, Lin Zhixian was helping people with fortune-telling as usual, and helping the Three Fairies. In the evening, Zhao Meiqi came to call her, "Ah Xian, it's time to eat."
"Are you treating us?" Lin Zhixian, who had just sold a string of peace lockets, asked with a smile.
"You have to treat me even for a meal. You are really getting more and more stingy. After all, you are a fortune teller. Can't you show some respect?" Zhao Meiqi was speechless.
"So what if he's a fortune teller? No one says that a fortune teller can't be a miser like Grandet." Lin Zhixian said with a smile.
Zhao Meiqi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Come on, you are so beautiful. If you really become Grandet, I will be heartbroken even if you are not heartbroken."
"Since you love me so much, Sister Qi, why don't you buy me a lucky charm to carry with you?" Lin Zhixian smiled.
"Look at you, you've even brought your business to me." Zhao Meiqi took out the amulet from her pocket. "My mother asked the Three Fairies to consecrate it for me a long time ago, and she insisted that I wear it every day."
"Then buy a crystal bracelet? I guarantee you will be blessed with beautiful romance." Lin Zhixian took out another pink crystal bracelet.
Zhao Meiqi rolled her eyes at her. "No, I'm not buying anything. Are you leaving or not?"
"Let's go, let's go now." Lin Zhixian put the pink crystal bracelet back into the cabinet, said something to Sanxiangu, and came out.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Lin Zhixian asked with a smile as they walked down the street.
"I miss you so much after not seeing you for a few days, but I have to have something to do before I can find you?" Zhao Meiqi joked.
Lin Zhixian laughed and said, "Come on, you don't even believe what you said."
Because of the newspaper effect, Lin Zhixian's business is booming, and it also boosts the business of the whole street. Other stores are also doing well. Even if Zhao Meiqi doesn't have to investigate cases recently and has a lot of free time, she still has to help her family greet guests after get off work. It is impossible for her to come over specifically to have dinner with her.
"I really can't hide anything from you." Zhao Meiqi shook her head; "There is something, but it's not something important."
"What exactly is going on?" Lin Zhixian asked.
"Do you still remember that Cen Xueqi?" Zhao Meiqi asked; "She was the pretty girl in my cafe that night when you were on Food Weekly."
Lin Zhixian has been too busy recently, and after a while he recalled, "Is it the pretty girl who was stabbed in the back by her best friend? What happened? Did she get into trouble?"
No way?
Shouldn't she have believed her words that night and not taken risks again?
Could it be that I was fooled by Jiang Lin again?
Lin Zhixian couldn't help but frown.
"No, she quit her job and I couldn't find her at home. She seemed to be missing." Zhao Meiqi shook her head.
"Missing?" Lin Zhixian recalled what he had said to Cen Xueqi that night: "Will she be staying in the hotel? That night I was worried that Zhang Weida and Jiang Lin would not be able to wait for Cen Xueqi to come and rescue her, and would use the key in Jiang Lin's hand to enter Cen Xueqi's house and harm her, so I suggested that she should not go home first, but stay in the hotel for one night, and wait until the next day to find someone to change the door lock at home before going back. Is she still in the hotel?"
"Is that so?" Zhao Meiqi obviously hadn't thought of this possibility: "That's indeed possible. Do you know which hotel she lives in?"
"I don't know." Lin Zhixian shook his head: "If that's the case, it would be difficult for you to find her. Besides, she's not involved in the case. It would be difficult for you to investigate, right?"
"It would have been difficult to investigate before. If we investigated someone without any reason, we might get reported. So before, we didn't go to investigate as police officers, but as friends. But now, I'm afraid it won't work. We still have to investigate this matter." Zhao Meiqi said, "Not only is Cen Xueqi missing, we have also inquired about Zhang Wei Da and Jiang Lin, and they are both missing."
"So you suspect that Zhang Weida and Jiang Lin conspired to kill Cen Xueqi and then fled for fear of being punished?" Lin Zhixian was shocked.
"That's right." Zhao Meiqi nodded: "If that's the case, it's a homicide."
"So you came to me to ask me for any clues?" Lin Zhixian came back to his senses.
"Yes." Zhao Meiqi said, "To be honest, if you hadn't told the beautiful girl's fortune in my cafe that night and got such an amazing result, we wouldn't have paid attention to this matter, and we wouldn't have investigated it if no one had reported it. But now that three people are missing, it is very likely that they are involved in a murder case, so we must investigate it in depth. So I hope to have as many clues as possible."
Lin Zhixian nodded: "If I can help you, I will certainly not refuse."
She recalled the images she saw that day and told Zhao Meiqi any clues that might help her: "If you have any news, remember to let me know."
After all, she was his guest, so Lin Zhixian still hoped that Cen Xueqi was okay.
