Not covering the face

Author: Siwu

Not covering the face

"Boss, please have two bowls of wontons."

Zhan Shuyun asked Yu Yan to sit down at the stall, "Big bowl or small bowl?"

"A big bowl." Without waiting for Huo Yan's response, Zhan Shuyun took matters into his own hands and directly asked for two large bowls. "The work you have to do after dinner will probably take some effort. Eat only when you are full."

It’s not easy to get hungry.”

he explained.

"Are all your secret guards like this?"

"What?"

Zhan Shuyun pointed at the mask on Yi Jin's face. It was a wide and wide mask that covered the entire face, with only two holes for the eyes to see.

“How do you eat with a mask on?”

Zhan Shuyun questioned.

Yan Yan reached behind his head and untied a knot, took off his mask and placed it on Table Mountain, "That's good."

I saw one layer after another. Under the wide and tight mask was a half-mask, which was small and thin in texture and only covered the nose and above.

Zhan Shuyun was silent, "...it's quite unique."

Pointing to his hand again, "Your gloves?"

Yi Yan raised his lips and smiled, "The gloves won't be a problem."

Zhan Shuyun nodded, just as the wontons were on the table, he took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick cage, divided a pair and put them on the bowl in front of Yi Yan.

Yi Yan picked up the chopsticks and asked: "There should be more good people around you, sir. Why do you want to borrow me from the master?"

"I couldn't imagine what role I could play."

Zhan Shuyun waved his hand, "Eat first, I'll talk about what I need your help with later."

Both of them ate very quickly. Zhan Shuyun paid the bill and took Ember to a clothing store.

"What do you need, sir?"

Small garment shops like this usually do not hire assistants to help. Most of them are private workshops, so there was only one shopkeeper in the shop at this time. He greeted him enthusiastically, especially when he looked at Zhan Shuyun, his eyes lit up.

Is it because of Zhan Shuyun’s good color or because I can see that Zhan Shuyun’s worth is extraordinary.

"Recommend some clothes for her to wear."

Zhan Shuyun pointed at the embers.

The shopkeeper looked the ember up and down, measured it with his eyes, clapped his hands at the end, and said exaggeratedly: "Oh, this girl has a very outstanding figure. Even if she wears a mask, you can see that she is beautiful. It just so happens that I have a set of clothes here, which are my home

A suit made by talented people, the size should be suitable, and the girl will look beautiful in it!"

The shopkeeper rummaged through the clothes as he spoke, and finally pulled out a set of plum-red clothes from under the many clothes. He ran back and shook the clothes open in front of Yi Yan and Zhan Shuyun. It was a girdle.

He smiled brightly and asked, "How's it going? Isn't it good? The color is bright and the girl is young. I'm sure she'll look good in it!"

Yi Yan didn't know what Zhan Shuyun was doing, so he asked with his eyes, but Zhan Shuyun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He coughed lightly against his lips and said, "The color is bright."

"Right, right? I just said these clothes are beautiful."

The shopkeeper raised his head and said, "The workmanship, materials, and style of this dress are all bad. It's just the color that makes people look attractive. But I think this girl is really suitable for her. If she can suppress this color, she will definitely make her look better."

Jiao, why don’t you try it first?”

Yi Yan wanted to refuse, but he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhan Shuyun was selling in the gourd. What if the investigation of the case was already started now?

After all, Zhan Shuyun would not bring her to buy clothes without any trouble.

So Yi Yan suppressed the doubts in his heart and gave all the initiative to Zhan Shuyun.

"It looks good, but the color is not eye-catching enough." Zhan Shuyun said, "Are there any bright red clothes that are suitable for her?"

"Yes, yes, of course there are." The shopkeeper said quickly, "We have a lot of clothes here, pick whatever you want!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper took out a few sets of red dresses and put them over, then picked out a few more goose-yellow and orange ones, and piled them together.

"Young man or girl, you can take your pick!"

Zhan Shuyun didn't move, so Zhan Shuyun glanced at her and took the initiative to rummage through the clothes. Finally, he picked out a set of red and goose-yellow clothes, and asked Yi Jin: "How do you like these two sets?"

But obviously, Zhan Shuyun's question was just a formality. Without waiting for Yan Yan's response, he directly made the decision, "Just these two sets, wrap them up."

"Okay, but do you want to try it first?"

The shopkeeper seems to be someone who values ​​credibility.

Zhan Shuyun said no, paid the money, took the clothes, and went out with Ember.

"Well done, sir. Come back next time!"

It wasn't until Yi Yan had gone a long way and made sure that no one was following him that he asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

Zhan Shuyun replied calmly: "The missing persons in the disappearance cases are women and children, with women accounting for the majority. What's more, most of the missing children are girls."

Yi Yan quickly figured out the key, but still hesitated, and asked: "Sir, do you mean to use me as bait to lure them into taking the bait?"

"clever."

Zhan Shuyun thought she was smart, but Yi Jin didn't think Zhan Shuyun was smart. Instead, she felt that he was able to come up with this idea because he was mentally ill.

"Fishing is not something you can take the bait in a moment." And generally speaking, kidnapping requires confirming the identity and activity trajectory, and it is not something you do just by looking at someone on the street.

Zhan Shuyun nodded to express his understanding, "So I'm going to have to work hard for you for a few days."

So, this is a long-term fishing activity.

Fishing activities include but are not limited to arranging an identity and residence, wearing eye-catching clothes and going out twice a day to increase the probability of being noticed, and always keeping an eye on suspicious persons and reporting them to Zhan Shuyun in a timely manner.

The more Yu Yan thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was bad, "This kind of fishing is like finding a needle in a haystack."

Zhan Shuyun didn't care, "It's just a needle-finding move, but it's just one more way to try."

Although Zhan Shuyun never cared about her arrogance and rudeness, in fact, in terms of status, Zhan Shuyun served as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple in the official family, with an official rank of the fourth rank, while she was just a secret guard. In other words, Zhan Shuyun

Bi is a master and a servant, and she has no room for negotiation.

Moreover, since the Duan family agreed to Zhan Shuyun's request, they acquiesced in all his arrangements for her, and she could not refuse.

So that day, Yan Yan followed Zhan Shuyun to a family's home that had been arranged long ago, put on red clothes and went out to buy groceries.

But what makes Yi Yan strange is that Zhan Shuyun never asked Yi Yan to take off his mask from beginning to end.

Since he didn't mention it, Yi Yan took it as his acquiescence, holding the vegetable basket in one hand with his gloved hand off, and hiding the other half in his sleeve, leaving only four fingers exposed.

As Huan Yan expected, this fishing trip was indeed a long-term activity. Three days passed. Huan Yan went out to buy vegetables every day, negotiated prices, and delivered meals to the farmers and their couples in the fields. From time to time, he would go out to destroy flowers in the wild, but he kept doing it.

No movement was seen.

Yan Yan was a little worried.

There was always no movement, and she couldn't stay here forever. After all, Miss Duan's family couldn't stay there forever even if she went to Tianxun Temple in the suburbs to ward off darkness and pray for blessings.
