After giving Secretary Lin a good dressing down, Xu Qingqing arrived near Director Li's house. It was around his bedtime.
Soon, deafening snoring from Director Li could be heard from inside, and Xu Qingqing had no choice but to give up and settle the score with him tomorrow.
It was late at night.
The last glimmer of light was obscured by dark clouds, and Xu Qingqing's vision suddenly darkened. She felt a little uncomfortable and took out a flashlight from her spatial storage and turned it on.
The flashlight emitted a faint white light, which quickly disappeared.
She then realized that she had completely forgotten to buy batteries!
Looking at the pitch-black night, Xu Qingqing went into her space and found a dry bamboo about the thickness of a thumb to use as a cane. She had collected a lot of dry bamboo beforehand, intending to build a shelf to display things.
In the quiet night, Xu Qingqing hummed the lyrics and walked forward by feeling, the bamboo in her hand rhythmically tapping the ground.
Ahhh~, ahhhhhh, Asti, Asti...
Xu Qingqing became more and more excited as she sang, singing Teacher Gong's "Tante" over and over again, her voice spreading throughout the streets and alleys.
When someone got up to go to the toilet, they heard this ghostly howl and were so frightened that they ran back to their bedroom, hiding under the covers and trembling. By the time they realized what had happened, they had already wet their pants.
The next day, he was scolded by his wife. He took his dirty clothes to the well to wash them. When he saw so many people washing their pants, they looked at each other, then fell silent, their faces red, heads down, and started hitting their pants with a stick.
As Xu Qingqing sang, her expression became ferocious, and her body swayed along with the song.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side, trying to cover Xu Qingqing's mouth, but Xu Qingqing grabbed it and threw her over her shoulder.
The man cried out in pain, and before he could even stand up, he was repeatedly struck. He clutched his head and screamed softly, "Stop hitting me! It's me! It's Night!"
Xu Qingqing paused for a moment, then continued hitting. She hated being interrupted when she was singing her heart out.
Black Night rolled around, begging for mercy: "Stop hitting me! I really am Black Night. I was sent by higher-ups to help you complete your mission."
He had heard that Nightingale was an extremely irritable woman, and now that he saw it, it was indeed true.
Xu Qingqing was stunned. She stopped what she was doing. Hei Ye breathed a sigh of relief, grimaced in pain, and stood up: "Nightingale, can you please not do this next time? I'm afraid I won't make it to the mission and will die at your hands."
"Ouch~, that really hurts!"
As Xu Qingqing listened to the complaints of the darkness and the occasional cries of pain, her eyes suddenly lit up. A possibility came to mind: this fool actually mistook her for the woman codenamed Nightingale.
Hei Ye continued, "By the way, the higher-ups wanted you to go into the steel mill. Did you complete that?"
Xu Qingqing nodded.
Seeing that she was silent and couldn't be seen in the darkness, I had a bad feeling and slowly backed away.
Hearing the noise, Xu Qingqing pressed the bamboo stick in her hand against his chest and threatened, "Try backing away again!"
"Tell me! How did you know I was the Nightingale?"
As he felt Xu Qingqing poking the bamboo stick into his chest with increasing force, he swallowed hard. "The 'ah ah oh' you just sang was our secret code."
Then he thought for a moment, and then carefully praised Xu Qingqing: "As expected of Boss Nightingale, you actually came up with such a method as a code. Boss, you are really amazing!"
Xu Qingqing clicked her tongue, her eyes filled with disbelief. She never expected that she would accidentally stumble upon the enemy's secret code.
Xu Qingqing exclaimed, "What kind of bullshit luck is this!"
After sighing, Xu Qingqing put down the bamboo in her hand. Hei Ye quickly hid to the side and rubbed his chest, but unexpectedly bumped into a wall and hit his head hard on the wall.
Xu Qingqing heard it clearly, her teeth ached, and she silently mourned for this guy.
In the darkness, he felt a sharp pain in his head, reached out to touch it, and found his fingers were wet. Then he passed out and lost consciousness.
Xu Qingqing heard another thud and silently mourned for the guy again; it hurt just hearing it.
At this moment, the moon, which had been obscured by dark clouds, was revealed. Xu Qingqing's vision was clear, and she could not bear to look at the scene before her.
Hei Ye was lying on a sharp rock, his face covered in blood. Blood was flowing from the back of his head, and he looked like he was dead.
Xu Qingqing stepped forward and kicked him, but there was no reaction. She squatted down and began to search for things, leaving no stone unturned.
After some searching, they found an envelope, a key, and a dozen or so yuan on the black body.
Xu Qingqing clapped her hands, stood up, picked up some pebbles and arranged them into a chrysanthemum to give to the unlucky guy, then quickly ran away.
The next morning, someone discovered the frozen corpse with a grotesque and terrifying expression, and immediately reported it to the police.
When Qin Gong's men arrived, the place was already surrounded by people, who were whispering and exchanging glances.
Upon discovering that Qin Gong's police had arrived, they immediately shut up. The crackdown on all sorts of demons and monsters is in full swing; if they dared to utter a word, they would immediately become targets of the crackdown.
When Qin Gong'an found a stone chrysanthemum next to the body, he frowned in confusion, wondering what it meant or whether it was a mark deliberately made by the murderer to provoke them.
A woman in the crowd glanced at him, pulled a black and white photograph from her bosom, her face immediately darkening. She put the photograph away, lowered her head, and left the crowd.
He quickened his pace and walked into the alley, bumping into Xu Qingqing who had come to check on the situation at a corner.
The woman staggered back a few steps, steadied herself, cursed "idiot," and quickly walked past Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing rubbed her aching chest, heard the woman call her an idiot, turned around and looked in the direction the woman left, grinding her back teeth.
Looking down and around, he found a suitable rock, aimed at the woman's calf, and fired.
In the distance, the woman was completely unaware of the danger approaching behind her; all she could think about was getting back to inform those above that Night had died.
She was struck in the right calf, and the resulting weakness made her unable to stand. Her legs buckled and she fell to her knees.
The passerby was shocked. He subconsciously pulled a dime from his pocket, but only realized something was wrong halfway through and looked on warily.
"You, you, you! You're actually cheating people out of their New Year's money! You're so young, why are you begging for money from others?"
The passerby was so angry he almost cried. He had worked so hard to save money, and had given it all to his lucky money during the Lunar New Year. This last penny was something the man had tricked out of his nephew.
Thinking that the penny he had just earned was almost gone, the passerby pointed at the woman and began to complain. Seeing that there was a commotion, all the pedestrians gathered around.
Seeing this, Xu Qingqing quickly went over and witnessed the woman's dramatic transformation, changing from red to green like a color palette, which was quite spectacular. She couldn't help but applaud.
It's amazing how fast a woman can change her expression, even if a chameleon came along.
He then squeezed through the crowd and headed towards his destination.
Unfortunately, they arrived too late; Qin Gong'an and his men had already taken the corpse from Hei Ye and left.
