Chapter 29: Night Tour
Since the two got married, Shen Caisheng seldom performed any intimate actions with her, no matter whether it was before or after she traveled through time.
Of course, the last time she supported the other person doesn’t count.
"Hurry up, for the safety of the child, just put up with it." Seeing that she didn't move, Shen Caisheng had to change his words.
Hearing this, Yuan Lingling had no choice but to put her hand on him.
"Are you looking forward to having these two children?" she asked.
Shen Caisheng paused, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Of course, you are not looking forward to it?"
Upon hearing this question, Yuan Lingling's radar immediately went off. She felt that she shouldn't discuss children's issues too much with Shen Caisheng, because the more she talked, the more mistakes she would make.
"Look forward to it, of course I am. This is my child. It's just... I see you don't like the child very much." Yuan Lingling was talking nonsense.
"How did you know that?" Shen Caisheng didn't know how he gave her such an illusion.
Yuan Lingling was surprised, "Didn't you notice? Yuanyuan was so scared of you at first. If you liked children, would he be scared of you?"
“I like children.”
Shen Caisheng did not answer Yuan Lingling's question, but just said this.
Yuan Lingling could tell that he was serious about what he said. Perhaps that was why he had such great malice towards the original person who made the mistake in the original book.
She suddenly stopped talking, and Shen Caisheng was a little confused.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he had just said.
It is right for parents to pay attention to their children.
The two of them suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, Yuan Lingling finally came out of her strange mood. She said, "I asked Yang Xiaoxi for you today. Yang Xiaoxi said that the Niu family had a conflict with the Lai family next door, and Lai Si, who had a conflict with them, died."
When Shen Caisheng heard Lai Si's name, he immediately remembered this man. When he was investigating Hu Ziyang, he had read the information of almost everyone in the village.
Seeing that he frowned when he heard her words, Yuan Lingling let go of Shen Caisheng's hand and asked, "Do you think I shouldn't ask Yang Xiaoxi these questions?"
Shen Caisheng was still thinking about Lai Si's death when he heard Yuan Lingling's words.
He originally wanted to let these words go in one ear and out the other, but before the words could exit his right ear, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Why do you say that? Didn't you ask about it?"
Yuan Lingling couldn't tell whether he really didn't understand what she said or was a little sarcastic, so she said directly: "I saw you frowning and felt that you were unhappy."
Hearing this, Shen Caisheng subconsciously frowned again, but this time he realized it himself and suddenly felt a little helpless, "Sorry, I didn't, I just think more seriously when I think about things."
Many people have told him about this problem, which is a habit he developed during a previous mission.
"I know this Lai Si you are talking about. He is not a good person." Shen Caisheng quickly got to the point.
"What do you mean by not being a good person?"
Shen Caisheng looked at her, then looked away and said, "He had committed some crimes before. With his skills, it's not easy for him to be killed, unless the other party is someone he trusts very much. His cause of death can't be simply attributed to drowning. To be more precise, he was injured in the head by a blunt object, which led to drowning."
Yuan Lingling didn't understand all this and was a little confused.
Fortunately, Shen Caisheng quickly explained the twists and turns to her.
The head was injured by a blunt object. It could be that he was injured by the blunt object first and then fell into the river and had no strength to climb out, or it could be that he fell into the river and was injured by the blunt object. In any case, the blunt object has not been found so far.
"Didn't Yang Xiaoxi say that the river was very shallow? Can't we tell from the state of death whether the deceased was injured first or fell into the water first?"
Generally speaking, if the wound is on the forehead, it should be injured first. If it is on the back of the head, wouldn’t it be caused by falling into the water?
Yang Xiaoxi didn't ask the following question, she felt a little stupid.
Shen Caisheng felt the other person's arm naturally around him, he curled his lips and explained: "Yes, but unfortunately, it rained heavily that night, and Lai Si was found about 300 meters away from the bridge."
"Then why couldn't he have killed him there?" It was all because Yuan Lingling had seen too many similar suspenseful detective literary and film and television works in the past, and there seemed to be quite a lot of cases like this.
"You mean..." Shen Caisheng was thinking about the possibilities in her words, but his arm was pulled by the person next to him.
Yuan Lingling said: "I heard that their village is not far from here, why don't we go and take a look."
"Go and have a look?" Shen Caisheng was a little surprised. "That's in the village, not in the city."
After they got out of the city, they walked for a long time without seeing any lights or even human figures. He remembered that Yuan Lingling was quite timid, so wasn't she afraid?
"I know, I just want to go and see." Yuan Lingling wanted to see what the place where the heroine grew up was like, and also wanted to... She pursed her lips and asked, "Is it okay?"
Shen Caisheng hated to see her looking so pitiful, so after thinking it over he agreed.
"Okay, but it's too dark to go over there now. Aren't you... afraid?"
Aren’t you afraid of the dark?
Yuan Lingling: “?” She didn’t want to go over there right now.
Normally, Shen Caisheng would definitely not agree to let Yuan Lingling go to a remote place late at night, but he found that Yuan Lingling seemed to have her own ideas most of the time, and he shouldn't stop her from going, not to mention that he was there and would not let her get into trouble. “
Thinking of this, his refusal changed immediately, "But if we go there now, it won't be easy to alert the enemy. But can your body handle it? If we walk there, it may take two hours to go back and forth."
Yuan Lingling followed Shen Caisheng to the countryside in a daze.
It was not until she was halfway there that she realized how terrible it was for her to go out alone with Shen Caisheng. Wouldn't she be finished if he suddenly revealed his true nature?
Even though she thought so, she didn't stop.
Well, she admitted that she began to feel that she had misunderstood Shen Caisheng. Her intuition told her that her previous understanding of Shen Caisheng might not be accurate.
If they find the murderer who killed Lai Si this time, perhaps it can really prove that Shen Caisheng is a good person, and there may be a reason why he imprisoned the original body.
Even if we take a step back, the book does not directly say that he imprisoned the original body.
All this is just my own speculation.
Yuan Lingling looked up at Shen Caisheng. Shen Caisheng held her hand and walked forward in small steps. It was obvious that he was thinking about Yuan Lingling's situation. No one knew what he was thinking about. He looked forward, and his eyes...
That's too firm.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Shen Caisheng noticed her little trick early on, but he just waited for her to say something. However, she didn't say a word for a long time after she walked out.
"I just want to see why you always have a serious face." Based on their interactions, Yuan Lingling felt that he was not a particularly rigid person. Yuan Lingling even felt that he seemed to be pretending to be profound, except for his face.
"So what should I do, like this?"
Shen Caisheng suddenly turned around and grinned at Yuan Lingling.
Yuan Lingling's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She had never seen Shen Caisheng so sunny and cheerful before.
When I see him normally, he always seems to be suppressing his emotions.
"Why not? But just be yourself. Everyone has their own fate. Why do you have to laugh?"
Yuan Lingling scratched her fingers and said, "But you look pretty when you smile."
Her voice was soft, but it couldn't escape Shen Caisheng's ears.
"Yeah." He responded, "I understand."
Yuan Lingling was not very satisfied with this answer. She felt that Shen Caisheng was a little shy, but he did not show it at all. She asked, "What do you know?"
Chen Caisheng did not answer, but said: "I will smile for you often in the future."
Yuan Lingling was choked by him and tried to break free from his hand, "Who wants to see you smile every day?"
She tried to break free, but Shen Caisheng held her tighter.
"Don't make a fuss." He looked a little scary when he was serious. He said, "You must pay attention to the baby in your belly. I heard that the first three months are the most important."
After that, he seemed to feel that his words would be misinterpreted, so he explained, "I'm not just concerned about the child. If something happens to the child, it will also be very hurtful to you."
Hearing this, Yuan Lingling squeezed his hand that was clasped around hers and said, "Got it."
Then the two fell silent again.
Both of them felt that they should say something, but they didn't know what to say.
Even in her previous life, Yuan Lingling had never done such a thing as what she did tonight, running to a remote place with a man late at night to investigate a case.
But now we are halfway there, there is no reason to give up.
I don’t know if it was because of the warm mutton hotpot I had tonight, but I didn’t feel so cold when I walked on the road. My heart was so warm.
It seemed that they were out of the city not long after walking. Shen Caisheng turned on the flashlight and the light shone under Yuan Lingling's feet. Although it was dark all around, there was a road under her feet, so Yuan Lingling was not that scared.
"Their village doesn't seem that poor." In Yuan Lingling's impression, one has to walk on country roads in the countryside. This road looked quite wide and flat. Except for being a little slippery after the snow, it didn't seem to be that bad.
Shen Caisheng did not comment, "After all, it is on the edge of the city. Because of this road, many factories were originally planned to be built in their village, but later they were unwilling, so the factories were built elsewhere. Otherwise, these places would have developed long ago."
Yuan Lingling was a little surprised. She didn't expect there was such a hidden layer. "Do they want more compensation?"
"That should be it."
"Is that too little, or are they asking for too much?"
Shen Caisheng smiled and said, "I...maybe I have both."
The country has just started to develop and is still spending a lot of money, so there must be a budget for all kinds of expenditures.
Yuan Lingling didn't quite understand all this, but from her prophetic perspective, in this golden age, one could not get rich by saving money; one had to increase revenue and seize opportunities for development.
"Go around that slope and the river will be in front of you."
Shen Caisheng led Yuan Lingling by the hand, carefully watching her steps, fearing that she would stumble. "Be careful, the path is not easy to walk on."
The two of them went around a gentle slope, and suddenly Shen Caisheng turned off the flashlight, "Shh."
From afar, under the dim moonlight, Yuan Lingling followed Shen Caisheng's line of sight and saw the river they were talking about.
The river is wide, but it seems to have entered a dry period. The water flows sparsely and dispersed into several streams. The river bank is also bare, with only a few trees with only branches left.
However, what really attracted the two people's attention was not the river or the tree, but a person standing on the small bridge over the river.
Yuan Lingling's pupils shrank and she suddenly pinched Shen Caisheng's arm.
