Cheng Zhan resisted the urge to punch the opponent and shook off the goosebumps on his arms. Just as he was about to remind him to speak properly and not to be disgusting, Si Ye spoke leisurely again -
"Actually, you are just staring at Qin Laosan's shop, right? You stayed in Shangri for so many days because of Qin Laosan."
Compared to the night before, this time the topic came up again, Si Ye's tone seemed more positive.
Cheng Zhan looked at him, half-smiling but not smiling, "I said last time that courtesy should be reciprocated. If you want to know about me, you should first hand in your contacts."
"I am innocent and cute during the day. I have nothing to hide." Si Ye spread out his hands and emphasized with a serious look on his face, "I came to Shangri-La purely because I have faith in my heart and light in my eyes.
"
"What, your faith is in the fur shop?" Cheng Zhan asked.
Si Ye shook his head and looked at him with a smile, "Both each other."
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Cheng Zhan understood what he meant, leaned back, and gave a rare smile, "I couldn't sleep the night before. I heard some noise and saw an idle young man sneaking around, so I followed him out to have a look out of curiosity."
Si Ye pretended to be enlightened, but when he saw that Cheng Zhan didn't tell the truth, he simply gave up. He said nonchalantly, "I don't know why I always have a feeling."
Cheng Zhan glanced at him.
He leaned forward, looked into Cheng Zhan's eyes, smiled, and continued, "We may not just meet by chance."
…
Fang Ting sent her parents away, and on the premise of ensuring that she would not be impulsive again, she also promised to carry her cell phone with her at all times and not turn it off 24 hours a day.
Before her parents left, they asked Lao Guan to take more care of her and thanked him profusely, which made Lao Guan feel embarrassed. After all, he, as the boss, was also responsible for such a thing. Instead of blaming her parents, they apologized and thanked her.
, he patted his chest and promised that as long as the two girls stayed in Shangri-La for one day, he would ensure their safety.
This matter has come to an end with Fang Ting's return, Captain Xu has closed the case, and Fang Ting will continue her trip to Shangri-La.
Laoguan prepared yak hot pot for dinner.
It was raining outside the window and the temperature was quite cool. There was a smell of meat and wine in the house. Laoguan also cooked peanuts and edamame and fried peanuts, both of which were food that could go well with wine.
Yak meat is ordered and delivered from Laoguan on the spot. It is slaughtered on the same day and is very fresh. In the words of Laoguan, you can eat sashimi directly if you want.
The plateau has more meat and less vegetables. Among them, yak meat is a must-have and is also a favorite of local people. It is tender and nutritious.
During the meal, Fang Ting solemnly apologized to everyone, and Lao Guanlian waved her hands and said, as long as the person is fine, nothing else matters.
Isn't it really important?
In fact, there are still many things that don’t make sense about this matter.
Qu Ya couldn't hold back her words and asked Fang Ting what happened when she left the room. Fang Ting had also seen the surveillance video afterwards, so in the face of Qu Ya's doubts, she still said what she said at the time.
"The camera can't capture everything, so it's normal for people to misunderstand." Fang Ting said.
Qu Ya still wanted to ask, but Lao Guan urged everyone to hurry up and get their food ready, saying that the camera was old and the pictures taken were blurry. Since the person was fine, everyone should stop being suspicious.
The shopkeeper said so, so Qu Ya stopped asking further questions.
Si Yezhengyi said to Fang Ting and Qu Ya, "It's fate that we met each other. From now on, just let us know where you want to go. In the worst case, we will go with you. Girls' homes are not safe after all."
Fang Ting didn't react much when she heard this, but Qu Ya thanked her, and then asked Si Ye in confusion, "We?" After saying this, she glanced at Cheng Zhan subconsciously.
Cheng Zhan didn't raise his eyelids or express his opinion. He seemed to be focusing on the hot pot. But it was obvious that he didn't eat much meat and focused on vegetables, and he had never touched the spicy pot.
I don't like eating meat or spicy food.
Si Ye sat next to Cheng Zhan, and when he saw that he didn't respond, he felt evil in his heart. He deliberately smiled and said, "Yes, us." After saying that, he nudged Cheng Zhan with his elbow in full view of everyone.
Cheng Zhan was holding vegetables with one hand, but he was knocked out of his grip by such a sudden move. The vegetables fell into the pot and splashed a hand of oil. He turned his head and glanced at Si Ye, who smiled at him and asked him shamelessly, "What do you mean?
right?"
Qu Ya and Lao Guan both stared at Cheng Zhan.
Cheng Zhan has a cold temperament, and he may not be able to get along peacefully with a "passionate" master like Si Ye.
But the expected scene of leaving the table did not appear. Cheng Zhan just glanced at Si Ye, very lightly, then put down his chopsticks, reached out and took out a tissue, and wiped his hands unhurriedly.
He did speak, but he said, "Fang Ting, are you okay?"
This is what I asked...
Lao Caring thought, "Bai Xiang is so handsome, but his emotional intelligence is worrying. This girl has been back all day, and you didn't even think of saying hello until now."
Qu Ya felt that Cheng Zhan's question sounded a bit strange, but she couldn't pinpoint the specific reason.
Fang Ting probably didn't expect Cheng Zhan to ask such a question, so she stopped her chopsticks in mid-air for a moment, made a sound, and then nodded.
Si Ye didn't say he was surprised, but looked at Cheng Zhan with a straight face and a smile in his eyes.
Cheng Zhan seemed to have considered it, his eyes fell on Fang Ting's face, and finally he said softly, "If you think something is wrong, you can come to me."
When Fang Ting heard this, she said "Ah" again, and after a long time she hummed and thanked her again.
Lao Guan took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Brother Cheng, please stop scaring these two girls."
He thought about evil spirits and heretics.
Cheng Zhan smiled lightly and said nothing more.
Maybe she was really tired, and Fang Ting was going to sleep before finishing the hot pot. She looked quite lethargic and not as active as before.
When Fang Ting went upstairs, the atmosphere downstairs was even more depressed than before. The hot pot was cooking and it seemed even quieter.
Lao Guan kept ordering yak meat and asked everyone to eat more. He also said that it was a good thing that the person had been found and it was worth celebrating.
But having said that, the atmosphere is not getting better. It seems that everyone is worried. Even Lao Guan himself feels quite depressed. He can't explain why this is the case.
Qu Ya sat on Fang Ting's chair, so she was closer to everyone.
After a long while, she spoke in a very low voice, "Even if we misunderstood the surveillance footage, what about the scratches and blood stains on the wardrobe? No one can explain it, right?"
It's a mystery.
Although the identification results have been obtained, it is difficult to explain when and how the scratch marks were left.
Lao Guan took out a piece of yak meat from the pot, dipped most of the pieces into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Hey, maybe it was left by the last guest. Didn't I tell you?
The guest brought a pet dog."
This is a possibility that Captain Xu came up with when he asked him to recall it repeatedly. How else could he explain it?
Seeing what Lao Guan said, Qu Ya stopped talking and ate the blanched spinach with a dull head.
Perhaps Lao Guan was afraid that everyone might have a grudge, so he put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass, and added, "The blood on it is all dried, and it looks like it has been there for a long time. He blames me for not watching the cleaners at work."
Anyway, it was an incident that happened in my inn, and I apologize to everyone for scaring everyone."
The other three raised their glasses and clinked them with each other. After Qu Ya finished taking a sip of beer, she whispered, "But we used the wardrobe the day we moved in, and we didn't see any scratches or blood..."
…
The rain in the ancient city eased a lot in the second half of the night and became a steady patter.
When Si Ye opened the door, the snoring sound of Lao Guan downstairs was very touching.
He was wearing black jacket and pants, and a black peaked cap on his head, hiding in the shadows like a ghost. Suddenly he saw movement at the door diagonally opposite, and immediately hid back in the house, leaving only a small crack.
It's Cheng Zhan.
Wearing black clothes and pants like him.
After leaving the room, he looked around first, then pulled the hood of his clothes over his head, raised his mask, turned around and went downstairs.
Seeing this, Si Ye did not hesitate for a moment, put on the brim of the same mask and pressed it out of the door.
The ancient city was very cold in the rain, and the wet bluestone road was reflected brightly by the rain light. From a distance, it looked like a mirror.
Cheng Zhan disappeared in front of him.
It's really weird. He obviously came out from the front and back, but why did this person disappear in the blink of an eye?
Si Ye stood on the empty street for a while. At the end of the street, the lanterns of the shop were not hung out, and he had a vague premonition in his heart.
Still taking the same route, Si Ye entered the second floor of Qin Laosan's fur shop with ease.
There is no moonlight or starlight tonight, and it looks even more gloomy than the first time I came here. After the last experience, Si Ye became familiar with the place again when he visited here.
Say hello directly to that room.
The room that I didn't have time to explore last time was just that the corridor leading to the room was cramped. It was only two days ago, and there seemed to be more things in the corridor.
Si Ye squinted his eyes slightly and looked at it. There were a lot of bottles and cans, almost filling the aisle. When he carefully avoided these bottles and reached the "other shore", he realized that this was Qin Laosan's wife laying a mine.
It's a waste of time, but if you're not careful, you can make a noise. It's the best alarm in the dead of night.
Si Ye leaned his back against the door and exhaled. He thought he was quite agile, but it was still difficult. Where was that guy Cheng Zhan?
Just as I was thinking about it, the door handle loosened a little.
Before Si Ye could react, he stretched out a hand from the door and grabbed him in.
Si Ye allowed the force to push him against the wall. He took a quick look and saw that it was indeed Cheng Zhan. This kid was quite fast.
The eyes on the mask were quite indifferent, as if he had already noticed that he was being followed, and his tone was a bit mocking, "Are you here to pursue your faith again?"
Si Ye didn't move his hand away, he leaned against the wall with a ruthless expression and said with a smile, "No, I'm here to protect the wandering young man."
Cheng Zhan heard this, looked at him for a while, and then let him go.
The room is still the same as last time.
Qin Laosan's portrait hangs there, next to the curtain.
This time, Si Ye came here for what was behind the curtain. Last time he was just a little closer to finding out. But his attention was first attracted by the things on the altar.
