Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Brother San will tell you a secret
Ao Teng is normal.
Bai Siqi doesn't seem to have any problem...
What about Ao Xinyi?
Is she overthinking?
Bai Qingqing breathed slowly, lowered her eyes and listened to Bai Siqi's speech. She loosened her fists behind her back and turned her wrists.
No, there is one more person I should confirm with, Shiranui Makoto.
Ao Teng has no intersection with her in the original novel. Ao Xinyi and Bai Siqi are both characters who should be in normal state at the moment. Only Bai Lincheng is very likely to have awakened.
"Actually, there is another secret. Now that there is no one else around, I will tell you in secret." Bai Siqi said.
Bai Qingqing's thoughts were interrupted and she turned around to look at him.
"In fact, my third brother is already helping Mu Ning find her biological parents. My parents, my eldest brother, and Xiao Xu don't know about this yet."
"When you first came home, mom and dad also looked for Ningning's parents, but the hospital couldn't find anything at the time, so they had to put it on hold. Now we're looking again, and we've found some clues."
"Perhaps before long, Mu Ning...will return to her own home."
Bai Siqi's words surprised her a little, but also made sense.
The birthday party is coming soon. Even if the plot of the true and false daughter cannot unfold according to the original time point, Bai Mu Ning's family should be found. God will definitely let Bai Mu Ning and Professor Jiang meet again.
Even if it wasn't Professor Jiang, it would be someone else in the Jiang family.
In that case...
Bai Qingqing's expression softened, and she put on just the right amount of surprise. After struggling for a while, she said with determination, "My uncle and I met a medical professor at Gujian Villa before. Her name is Jiang Zhenru. She has some similarities with Mu Ning."
"Third brother, you know that I have some knowledge of the art of Qimen Dunjia. Although Professor Jiang and I only met briefly, she gave me a very similar feeling to Mu Ning."
After she finished speaking, Bai Siqi's eyes paused slightly.
Bai Qingqing didn't care what he thought when he heard this, whether he believed it or not, and how he would look at her.
Bai Siqi's goal is to make Bai Muning change her name, change her parents, and return to her own home. This is enough for him to investigate Jiang Zhenru.
It's just strange. Before Bai Mu Ning was discovered by the Jiang family, she should have been with the Bai family, and had a period of deep father-son, mother-daughter, brother-sister affection, and they should have been inseparable after eighteen years of living together. Why would she take the initiative to leave at this time?
Bai Siqi didn't know what she was thinking about. Ever since she mentioned Jiang Zhenru's name, her eyes changed and she fell silent.
Bai Qingqing had already completed the things she needed to confirm, and did not intend to stay in this room, so she interrupted him, "Third brother, I don't mean anything else. I just heard you say that you were looking for Ningning's family..."
Bai Siqi came back to his senses and gently touched her hair again: "Well, I know, you also want to find Ningning's family. Third brother thanks you on her behalf."
Bai Qingqing gave a shy smile.
Bai Siqi took back his hand: "Leave the rest to my third brother."
Bai Qingqing left.
When she turned around, her well-behaved and shy expression disappeared and she sighed.
Separated by a door, Bai Qingqing stood outside Bai Siqi's door and thought briefly, then quickly opened her social account on her phone, found her eldest brother Bai Lincheng's profile picture in the family group, clicked on it, and applied to add him as a friend.
One by one, they confirmed that it was a bit troublesome, but one more person was not a big deal.
After Bai Qingqing applied, she put her phone back in her pocket and prepared to leave, thinking that it would take some time for Bai Lincheng to approve her application. Unexpectedly, she heard the notification sound after she had taken a few steps.
[I have approved your friend verification request, now we can start chatting]
She walked forward a few steps, stopped at an empty corner, and made a video call directly to Bai Lincheng.
After a few rings, the other end picked up the phone.
The background is an office. Bai Mincheng seems to be in a meeting. The lights are dim, and there is light from a projector beside him.
Bai Mincheng: "What's the matter?"
Bai Qingqing was silent for a moment, then asked directly, "Bai Mu Ning and I have to choose one, who do you choose?"
Bai Lincheng frowned slightly and looked at Bai Qingqing's expression, as if trying to find out her feelings.
He tapped his fingertips on the desk twice and said with his thin lips: "Choose you."
Bai Qingqing waited for a while. After nearly a minute of silence, he didn't change his words. Instead, he asked again, "Anything else?"
"…It's okay. Bye." She hung up the phone.
Could it be that Ao Xinyi's state really changed only because Bai Si was coming back?
But it's not just that.
After she returned to the Bai family, she seldom called Ao Xinyi "Mom", and avoided the title whenever possible. She just called Ao Xinyi out on purpose, but there was no change in her expression, not even a wave of expression in her eyes.
strangeness……
What exactly feels wrong...
Everything seemed normal, but she just felt uncomfortable all over. Bai Qingqing frowned deeply and returned to her room in confusion. She changed her shoes and really planned to go out this time.
Things that you can't figure out for the time being can only be put aside for later.
Bai Qingqing went out and left the Bai family.
In the room behind him, Bai Siqi looked up Jiang Zhenru's information on the Internet, looked at Professor Jiang's photo, and made a phone call.
In the Bai Group, a circle of people in the conference room listened to the boss's indifferent words "choose you", looked at each other, suppressed their smiles, and typed frantically under the table.
*
The Special Investigation Bureau has set up an office in East City, and the bodies found this morning were transported directly there. The basic test report has come out, and the bodies belong to five people.
The head of the corpse belonged to Zhang Minda, the son of the CEO of Changhong Detergent Co., Ltd. The arm matched the DNA registered in the police system and that of Jiang Shuai, a beauty salesperson who was reported missing by his family ten days ago.
He has a pair of extremely beautiful hands. When he was doing makeup for customers at a counter, his hands became a hot topic on the Internet, bringing popularity to the brand.
The identities of the torso, legs and feet are yet to be confirmed.
When Bai Qingqing arrived at the Special Investigation Bureau, she heard that the people in the bureau were already deducing the identity of the murderer and the deceased. Zi Wenbin asked her if she wanted to go and take a look. Bai Qingqing smiled and declined, and went directly to see the body.
There was nothing on the body. Four incense sticks were lit at the four corners of the cold autopsy table. White smoke flowed back toward the body below. There was no scent around, but there was a faint sense of pure Yang energy flowing through it.
Bai Qingqing raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised that the Special Investigation Bureau had this method of using incense to find souls.
Seeing her staring at the incense, Zi Wenbin took the initiative to say, "It was made by a kid from our bureau. His ancestors made incense. If you are interested, you can talk to him."
Bai Qingqing shook her head: "Director Zi, I have seen the body. Thank you for today."
Zi Wenbin was a little surprised: "Have you finished reading it?"
Bai Qingqing had been in the room for less than five minutes. She had spent two minutes staring at the incense, and the remaining three minutes walking around the room and the corpse.
Zi Wenbin thought that Bai Qingqing came today to find the murderer.
She heard that the owner of the head had just asked her to find his son. Now that Zhang Minda has been found and brutally murdered, the client should continue to ask her to find the murderer.
"Well, I've finished reading it. That's enough." Bai Qingqing nodded and was about to leave.
Seeing that she was as strong as a rock, Zi Wenbin knew that he couldn't persuade her today, so he had to prepare to send her out.
The two of them walked to the door, which was halfway open when Bai Qingqing suddenly paused and pointed at the mannequin placed in the corner behind the door. She made her first request:
"Director Zi, can you give me this model? I would also like to ask my friend who makes incense to make five sticks of incense for me."
Zi Wenbin's eyes lit up, and he immediately went over to pick up the mannequin, placed it in front of Bai Qingqing, and asked, "What kind of incense do you want?"
"The soul fragrance of those five people."
Zi Wenbin looked at her, not knowing what idea she had come up with. He suppressed his urge to ask for clarification and reached out to push the half-open door open completely, making a gesture of invitation.
Holding the mannequin in one hand, he led her straight to the temporary office of the first department.
Bai Qingqing was organizing her thoughts as she followed Zi Wenbin.
Although the body was dug out of a mud pit, she had just carefully examined the body and found no scars or scratches on it, which showed that the murderer not only had his own requirements when selecting people, but was also very careful when killing and sewing, without hurting their skin and bodies.
Not only was the surface of the corpse pure and flawless, but even the several body parts had been purified to drive away their souls and regrets.
He placed restrictions on the bodies he had completed, never allowing their souls to return to their bodies.
What the murderer wanted to leave behind was a body that was clean and free of impurities.
Was it just to satisfy his preferences and abnormal psychology? She didn't think so.
At first she thought that the assembled corpse was just a work of art. The murderer was not only a Taoist, but also had some artistic pursuits. Today, the Special Investigation Bureau's act of lighting incense to summon the soul made her feel that there was another possibility.
This can also be a clean and holy container.
The outside of the container must be beautiful enough and the inside must be clean enough. The person performing the ritual wrapped the corpse in white cloth and buried it, which may mean that the container is still in the process of incubation and has not been completely made.
Then the burial is not the end, but just the beginning.
Since there is something that can be used later, she will summon the souls of those people to pollute his container, and the person behind the scenes will have to show up.
After all, it’s not easy to find five such beautiful people.
While thinking, Zi Wenbin, carrying a human model, had already led Bai Qingqing to the door of the temporary office. With a "thump", he put the human model heavily on the ground and said, "Xiao Xu, come to the meeting room."
Someone in an office turned around and stopped facing the door.
In the silence, the sound of copper coins falling to the ground was heard, attracting everyone's attention to him.
His workstation is right next to the door.
The angle at which the coin fell was clear. Bai Qingqing glanced at it and then turned her gaze back to the face of the owner of the coin. She saw that he was wearing a black sportswear. He awkwardly lifted his feet off the table and sat up straight. "Boss, are you looking for me?"
Zi Wenbin: “…”
a shame.
She turned around quickly, picked up the mannequin again, and led Bai Qingqing into the meeting room in the temporary office. Her apologetic voice came out the door: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. The kids in our department usually pay a lot of attention to their appearance. We just moved in today, and we're sorting out a lot of things, so it's a little messy."
Everyone outside the meeting room sat up straight in silence.
Xiao Xu bent down to straighten his trouser legs, scratched his half-long hair with his hands, coughed twice, knocked on the door of the conference room, and pushed it open.
Seeing his subordinates coming in in an official appearance.
Zi Wenbin looked much more satisfied and introduced Bai Qingqing, "This is Xiao Xu, the heir of a family of incense makers. He can make five soul-guiding incense sticks today."
