Chapter 144 Mysterious Bones
Dai Shu: "Boss, are you being too impatient? I'm not that kind of girl."
Nangong: "The tactic of playing hard to get doesn't work on me. I'm a straightforward woman. I have no interest in women who like to keep people in suspense."
Dai Shu: "The boss's taste is indeed different from that of ordinary people. No wonder he has remained a completely different person in recent years despite such excellent conditions."
Nangong: "For me, a stable relationship between a man and a woman has never been what I pursue or yearn for. So, are you saying yes or no tonight?"
Dai Shu: "If I refuse, can I still come to work tomorrow?"
Nangong: "What are you talking about? You underestimate me too much, don't you? Okay, I understand what you mean. After dinner, I will take you home. Since you like to take things slowly, let's take it slowly. Life is so long, I don't care."
Dai Shu: "Thank you, boss."
After sending Dai Shu home, Nangong also drove home.
Situ: "Why are you back so early tonight? I thought you were going to party all night."
Nangong: "I thought I'd warm up and sweat tonight since I haven't exercised in a while, but to my surprise, it was all in vain."
Situ: "Is there any woman you can't handle? Is she difficult to handle?"
Nangong: "It's not that difficult to deal with, but she knows my temper very well. Plus, she's Sakura Queen's person, so I don't want to act too hastily. Is Mingli asleep?"
Situ: "I slept. Just now, he insisted on waiting for you to come back before he could sleep. I scolded him before he finally went to sleep."
Nangong: "He's still a child, why are you scolding him? Teach him well!"
Situ: "Don't spoil your child anymore. Yang Ning is already an example. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
Nangong: "He's different. You know he had a grudge against us in his past life. We should be grateful that he didn't come to seek revenge in this life. Do you still expect us to get along like a normal father and son? We are destined to be a pair of enemies who love and hate each other in this life."
"Ring, ring, ring" Nangong's cell phone rang.
Situ: "Who else would call at this late hour?"
Nangong: "I don't know, it's an unfamiliar number."
"Hello?"
"Nangong, I have a great gift for you. It's right at your door. Open the door and take a look. I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised."
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can ruin your reputation and make everything you have vanish into thin air."
"Your joke is not funny at all. And do you know who you are provoking now?"
"Nangong, no one knows you better than me. You can go to the door and take a look at the gift to know whether I am joking or not. I have a piece of advice for you. It is best to open it yourself. Don't call the police, otherwise you will regret it." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Situ: "Who is it? Why does your tone sound a little off?"
Nangong: "The other party used a voice-changing software. I don't know if it's a man or a woman. It must be a prank!" Then, he looked at the door for a long time.
Situ also glanced over there: "What's wrong? You don't look good, is there something wrong?"
Nangong: "When I just came back, there was clearly nothing at the door, but the call just now said that someone left a big gift for me at the door."
Situ: "Wouldn't it be clear if you just go out and open the door?"
Nangong: "No, be careful of falling into his trap. Let's check the surveillance video in the yard first."
Situ opened his phone and started looking.
Nangong: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Situ handed him the phone: "Take a look for yourself!"
The video footage on the mobile phone showed that just after Nangong entered the house, a masked man in black quietly followed him from behind. He took a box and quietly placed it at his door.
Situ: "What should we do now?"
Nangong: "What else can I do? Of course I'll call the police."
Situ dialed 110 and two policemen arrived soon.
The police knocked on their door.
Policeman A: "Rich people's villas are always big and grand. We are afraid that we will never be able to live in such a beautiful house in our lifetime with our meager salary."
Policeman B: "Why is there a courier here?"
Policeman A: "Don't touch him. They called the police because of this. They said a suspicious person left an object of unknown origin at his doorstep."
Officer B: "These rich people are just too proud and afraid of death. It's just a cardboard box. Maybe they just bought something and forgot about it. I think it's just a package. What's the big deal to call the police? Do you think we have too much free time? You want us to come all the way to open the package for him? What a waste of police resources."
Policeman A: "Don't complain on someone else's land. Those rich people might have heard what we just said. Be careful that they will complain to us."
Policeman B: "Why have they taken so long to open the door for us?"
At this time, Situ just came out.
Policeman A: "Hello, are you calling the police?"
Situ nodded: "That's right, thank you for taking this trip."
Police Officer B: "It's not a problem. It's my job to solve problems for the public. Is this the suspicious cardboard box you were talking about?"
Nangong also walked over and said, "Yes, thank you for your help." Then he handed the police a knife to open the package.
Policeman A picked up the knife and started opening the package without saying a word.
After cutting open the seal, everyone held their breath and waited for the moment when Policeman A would open the box.
But to their disappointment, there was no surprise Christmas gift or magical treasure inside, only a human skeleton lying quietly.
Policeman B was shocked when he saw it: "Is there a murder case?"
Policeman A: "It's hard to say right now. Maybe it's a Halloween prank, or maybe it's made of plastic!"
When he reached out to examine the bones, he found that his skull had fallen off. The closer they got to the bones, the more they smelled an indescribable odor.
Policeman A: "This is bad. I'm afraid we've really encountered a murder case. Let's call someone to help!"
After a while, several police cars drove to the door of Nangong's villa.
At this time, Xu Lin got out of the car.
Policeman A: "Why is it you, Captain Xu, again this time? Aren't you still on your wedding leave? Where are the rest of the police station?"
Xu Lin: "Don't say anymore. Everyone says they have tasks to do. Xiaofeng and I haven't even finished our honeymoon yet and they rushed over when they got the call. How long has it been since we had a vacation? Can we even relax for a while?"
Situ: "Xu Lin, are you married? Why didn't you invite me to such a big event like the wedding banquet?"
Xu Lin: "Hey, Mr. Situ, we do have a good relationship, but not close enough to invite you to the wedding, so don't be so self-indulgent."
Situ: "That's right, how dare I approach you, Captain Xu."
Police Officer B: "I guess Xu Lin's honeymoon this time will consist of a stroll around the city park and then back?"
Xu Lin: "Stop talking nonsense. What's going on this time? Who's going to speak first?"
Nangong: "Let me go first. I received an anonymous call saying that a gift was delivered to me at my door. My housekeeper thought something was fishy and called the police."
