Free meals
She just remembered what Gao Yuan's family did, and the look in her eyes when she looked at them was particularly strange. "No, Gao Yuan, what's wrong with you?!"
"What's going on?" Gao Yuan was stunned by her sudden question and asked subconsciously.
Li Xingzang felt that she was really affected by the vampire's blood. She should have noticed something was wrong when the old zombie spoke to her without avoiding Gao Yuan, but she only reacted now.
"He's a zombie!" Li Xingzang pointed at the man with dreadlocks sucking on a popsicle on the dragon throne, then pointed at Gao Yuan on the stage, "You're a Taoist priest!"
"What's the problem?" Gao Yuan's wise eyes were exactly the same as when he was chased around the street as a child.
What else is wrong? This is a huge problem!
"Yes, what's the problem?" The old zombie also looked wise.
Li Xingzang felt like her head was full of lumps. The way they both looked at her made her feel that she was the one with the problem.
"Oh no! Don't worry!" Gao Yuan waved his hand. "I'm just doing this part-time job, a side hustle! What? Do you still discriminate against KTVs? This is a legitimate business!"
"Who said it wasn't!" The old zombie sang in unison, swinging his braids.
Damn it! You two don't look like serious people!
These two are clearly pretending to be clueless, so why bother with this? I might as well go home and boil some bones.
She rolled her eyes at Gao Yuan and said, "Do whatever you want. No one wants to bother you!"
Li Xingzang walked out angrily and headed straight for the restaurant without looking back. He didn't notice that at the end of the long street behind him, a tall figure was eating candied haws and walking towards him.
"Well, my Lord, I am still very loyal."
"Huh? What's that?" The old zombie scratched his ears and pretended not to hear.
"Don't pretend! Our boss Li Xingzang has always been loyal. If I said I was oppressed by you, you would make her turn your house upside down today."
"Tsk!" The old zombie rolled his eyes. "What do you want? Go ahead!"
"Look... my share is..." He pinched two fingers together and rubbed them together, Gao Yuan looked at him with a lewd smile.
"Get lost!" He shot the popsicle toward the stage. Gao Yuan, who seemed unable to dodge it, took an easy step and hid at the door.
"You little bastard actually tried to trick me!" The old zombie cursed, but there was no anger in his eyes.
Logically, the two weren't enemies, and the atmosphere wouldn't be like this, but they were used to it. As they were laughing and joking, the old zombie suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Someone's coming."
Gao Yuan looked back at the end of the corridor. A familiar voice said with a smile, "Your Highness, you've been living a good life lately." Looking at this big TV, this dragon throne, life is so beautiful.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Yu? What brings you here? Have I done anything wrong recently?"
"What are you talking about, Your Highness? Can't I just come here to visit?" Yu Sishi handed over a large bag of hawthorns.
"Tsk, Captain Yu is still the right one." Thinking of a little girl just now, the old zombie curled his lips. The little girl came to him for help with that attitude and even dared to eat the tribute. She was more arrogant than he was back then.
Yu Sishi looked at his actions and smiled more sincerely, but his eyes were full of caution.
Who could have imagined that this unruly young man in front of him was actually a giant zombie from the early Qing Dynasty, registered in the archives of the Special Intelligence Bureau as the biggest monster in Snow City, and also an object of great fear for everyone in the Special Intelligence Bureau of He City.
Unlike the great demons in other regions who hid from the Special Intelligence Bureau, he took the initiative to register in the Imperial Capital. He said his surname was Jin, with a single given name, "Rui." However, some seniors at the time speculated about his identity. The Bureau codenamed him "Prince," and he himself accepted this without a single objection.
Watching the Qing Dynasty drama on TV, Yu Sishi felt a flicker of irony. Just as he was about to continue the small talk, his nose suddenly twitched. This smell...
"Captain Yu, what exactly brings you here?" The prince didn't have the time to exchange pleasantries with him, so he just asked directly.
Yu Si Shi carefully distinguished the scent he caught. It seemed that the person had just left not long ago.
"There's a case in Hecheng, the deceased's soul has disappeared, and we found someone related to the deceased has come here." Yu Sishi said while watching TV, "I always have to say hello to you when I come here to handle the case, and I also want to try my luck here, Your Highness." His eyes were fixed on the prince.
"Oh? Really?" The prince threw away the stick in his hand and took another one and put it in his mouth. "I haven't heard anything about Hecheng. I may not be able to help Captain Yu."
"Ah..." Yu Sishi held his forehead and sighed, "Then I can only stay in Xuecheng and slowly investigate. I hope I can go home in time for the New Year..." He looked at the extra sticks in the trash can and asked pretentiously, "Your Highness, you won't find me an eyesore, will you?"
"Hmph~" The prince's eyes were fixed on Fatty Orange's movements on the TV. "Snow City belongs to the government and the country. Whether it's tourism or handling cases, it has nothing to do with me. Captain Yu, please do as you please."
Yu Sishi raised his eyebrows. "That's great!" He stood up and held out his hand. "If there's anything I can help you with, Your Highness, please lend me a hand in consideration of my humble tribute."
The prince finally gave him a look, chewing the sugar residue in his mouth with a crisp sound. "Snap!" He patted Yu Sishi with one hand and didn't look at him again.
"Then I won't disturb the prince's good mood for now." Yu Sishi waved his hand casually and strode out.
"What happened to your dead kid?" The prince stared at Gao Yuan who was worried.
"Boss Li is the one who came back from Hecheng..." She also suddenly turned into a vampire. It's hard not to connect all this together. Could it be that Yu Shishi is here to capture her?
"Tsk!" The prince licked his gums. The wolf cub must have smelled the scent of the little girl just now. He pointed to the door and said, "Go and tell your boss Li a message." It seems that Yu Shishi came for him and the little girl from the beginning. He didn't think that this damn soul thing had anything to do with him, did he?
He had too many debts to worry about, and besides, this matter had nothing to do with him, so it couldn't be traced back to him. As for the little girl... no matter what she had done, he couldn't let Yu Sishi take her away. Not to mention the Dragon God and the Mountain God, the little girl had just paid tribute to him. In the middle of winter, strawberries were very expensive, so he had to protect the little girl.
The prince was nestled in the dragon throne, still munching on Yu Shishi's hawthorns. He didn't think at all that this large bag of hawthorns was also a tribute. Even if someone asked about it, what would it matter? Wasn't that what he was supposed to do?
Yu Shishi had a clear understanding of Li Xingzang's actions after returning to Xuecheng. After all, opening a restaurant required various formalities. But he had never expected to discover her scent in the prince's restaurant on his first day in Xuecheng. It looked like they must be very familiar with each other.
His steps towards the hotel were strong, but definitely not as strong as the sound coming from the hotel door.
"Comrade police, it's because of the food in their house. My son has been having diarrhea!" At the entrance of the restaurant, Li Xingzang looked at the little fat boy speechlessly. He was still gnawing on ribs while being held by his father. Who would believe him if he said he had diarrhea?
The policeman obviously understood and sighed, "When did your son have diarrhea?"
"Just last night, I didn't sleep for half the night!"
"Come on! He's so fat, and he's still gnawing on pork ribs! Who are you kidding when you say he has diarrhea?" Wu Fei shouted with his teeth bared.
"You little brat, what do you know? My son has been eating here for the past two days. If your food isn't filthy, what else can I support?!"
"Boss Zhao, your family also runs a restaurant. Why do you let your children eat at my house?" Li Xingzang said quietly.
Boss Zhao choked up. "What? Are you saying I'm framing you? Stop slandering me!" [1]
Who is insulting whom? Li Xingzang lowered his head and rolled his eyes.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We're neighbors, and it's going to have a bad impact." The police waved his hand and said, "Both bosses, please come with us."
"No, her things are not clean. Why should I go with her?" Boss Zhao was obviously not convinced.
"What are you yelling about? Didn't you call the police? Don't I have to question you?" Boss Zhao is the owner of the restaurant on the front street. The police in charge of this area all know what kind of person he is. He would try to do something crooked when he saw someone else's house was on fire.
"Okay, comrade police officer, wait for me to talk to the guest."
"That's right." The police nodded. "Hey, Mr. Li, you have to close your restaurant today." Although he knew what was going on, since someone had called the police, he had to do what he had to do.
"After that, take some of your vegetables...meat and other things. We need to test them." He pointed at another young policeman and motioned him to take them.
"Hey, officer, those are all today's dishes. My son had diarrhea yesterday. Does that count?"
The police looked at him and laughed. This guy was obviously well prepared! [2]
"You're right. So, what do you have to do?"
"I've brought everything my son ate yesterday and am giving it to you for testing." Boss Zhao picked up the black plastic bag he had been holding. Li Xingzang and the police were speechless seeing him like this.
"Okay, okay, come on, let's go."
After Li Xingzang and the police took the things, they came out and caught a glimpse of a figure outside the crowd.
There's no way around it. Even when compared to a few tall guys in Northeast uniforms, this guy is just too good in every way.
And... Li Xingzang glanced at him. No wonder she had just smelled something. This guy... was a dog...
The police were very efficient. They arrived around noon, and the test results came back that afternoon. His son had eaten the leftovers that he himself had been reluctant to throw away. Zhao had framed him, and the child had revealed the truth. When the child's mother learned of this, she returned from her parents' home and rushed straight to the police station. Without a word, she began scratching him.
Li Xingzang had a free lunch at the police station and ate melon with the policewoman for the whole afternoon. She didn't want to continue having a free dinner there, so she walked out of the police station slowly, thinking about what to eat when she got home, and then she thought of the big dog she saw today.
Well, what you think will come true. Li Xingzang looked up and saw that the person was waiting for him in the hotel.
"Hello, Boss Li, I'm Yu Shishi from the Special Intelligence Bureau."
"Special Intelligence Bureau?" What the hell? Li Xingzang had never heard of it.
Yu Sishi took out his ID and waved it. She felt that before she could see it clearly, she heard him say, "We suspect you are involved in a club girl case. I hope you can cooperate with my investigation."
What's going on? Is she destined to be employed by the country today?
