Mi Zihan asked the sentence he regretted most in his life.
"Why didn't I know that Miss Bai still has this skill?"
Bai Yue's eyes lit up at a word, and he asked curiously: "Are you investigating me?"
And it took quite a detailed investigation to make such a confident and doubtful statement.
But two days before she came to Jian's house, she had found out everything about her previous affairs, down to the smallest detail. Mi Zihan did not appear in her past life.
So what Bai Yue said is not that you know me, or that you understand me, but that you investigate me. Only in this way can Mi Zihan understand her, but she has no impression of this person at all.
Mi Zihan's face became very strange for a moment, and Bai Yue became more confident, wondering: "Why do you want to investigate me?"
As she said this, she glanced at Jian Yu, who was indifferent, as if the matter was under his control but had nothing to do with him.
As the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Mi Zihan is also a third-rank official, and the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of national criminal laws and decrees, which is comparable to that of Dali Temple. Mi Zihan and Jian Yu are colleagues and friends, and they often handle cases together, but they have different styles of doing things.
, there are often disagreements, but there are also times when we live together and turn our backs after death.
Mi Zihan was questioned continuously by Bai Yue. After two sentences, he finally regained his composure and said calmly: "Mo Yi has been a good friend of mine for many years. He suddenly showed up with a fiancée. Naturally, I have to be concerned and check it out."
Jian Yu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, without commenting.
Obviously Bai Yue didn't believe this, but her status was limited and she was not suitable to get to the bottom of it. She just said "oh" and the matter was over.
The water in the capital city is deep, and every one of them is mysterious and nerve-wracking. It is not appropriate to delve into it at this time.
Mi Zihan had never felt so disadvantaged. He didn't want to talk about this topic at all. Remembering that Jian Yu came to see him specially, he quickly changed the topic.
Mi Zihan coughed lightly: "Mo Yi, you just said that Miss Bai can draw Zi Yang's current appearance, are you telling the truth?"
Jian Yu suddenly became serious: "Would I joke with you about this?"
This is the reason why Mi Zihan is willing to believe him. Let's ignore Bai Yue for the moment. Jian Yu is not a person who doesn't care about the importance. Mi Ziyang's disappearance is a pain for their family. He has not given up searching until now. He will never start such a plan.
joke.
Mi Zihan looked solemn: "Miss Bai."
Bai Yue tilted his head: "Hmm?"
Mi Zihan said: "I can't explain what happened before. I also believe what Mo Yi said about your ability."
It has to be said that although most capable people have tempers, they can also bend and stretch. Bai Yue was amazed by the change in Mi Zihan's attitude.
Mi Zihan said: "Miss Bai, if you can really find my brother, you will be the benefactor of the Mi family. No matter what the conditions are, I will never refuse if I can do it."
"I want to correct you." Bai Yue said: "I can't help you find your brother. I don't have that ability. I can only draw a picture of your brother's current appearance. As for finding it, you still have to rely on Mr. Mi himself."
"I made a mistake, that's enough." Mi Zihan couldn't hide his excitement at this time: "As long as Miss Bai can draw pictures and follow the pictures, her hopes will be much greater."
As for whether he can be found, he doesn't even know if Mi Ziyang is still alive. Bai Yue is not a magician, so how can he know.
Bai Yue smiled slightly, it was easy to talk to people who understood.
"Then what does Miss Bai want?" Mi Zihan didn't want to owe such a huge favor: "Just ask."
"I want a promise." Bai Yue didn't quite understand, but he still said: "No matter what happens in the future, as long as there is no irrefutable proof that I am guilty, you have to protect me."
Mi Zihan looked stiff and said after a while: "I thought Miss Bai should have said this to Mo Yi."
Bai Yue smiled: "What if he bullies me?"
Mi Zihan was speechless.
Bai Yue said: "This kind of protection includes but is not limited to personally doing harm to me, letting my subordinates do harm to me, knowing that others are doing harm to me but not stopping them..."
Mi Zihan was stunned when he heard this.
Bai Yue changed the subject: "Of course there is an exemption clause. I don't need Mr. Mi to go through fire and water for me, go through life and death, and fight against forces that are impossible to fight. I am actually a very reasonable person. The only criterion is one sentence. As long as Mr. Mi has a clear conscience.
.”
Mi Zihan always believed that although he was not a genius, he was thoughtful and quick in thinking, but at this time, he actually repeated Bai Yue's words in his mind before he fully understood.
Jian Yu sat aside and drank tea with an indifferent expression. He firmly believed that as long as there was no fight, Bai Yue could handle Mi Zihan more than enough.
Bai Yue said: "What do you think of my request, Mr. Mi?"
"It's reasonable." Mi Zihan was still a gentleman and magnanimous: "Facing my benefactor, if I don't even have this promise, it would be repaying kindness with hatred."
Mi Zihan was happy, and so was Bai Yue: "Then let's get started."
She even brought her usual things, and while taking them out, she said: "First of all, I want to know what your brother looked like when he was a child. The more detailed he is, the better. I need to draw a picture of what he looked like when he was a child and confirm with you that it is correct. Then I can
Deducing what he looks like now."
Mi Zihan nodded: "I'm going to get the portrait for you. After Zi Yang lost it, the family hired a painter to draw hundreds of portraits and distributed them. There are still them at home today."
Mi Zihan said and asked someone to get it. Bai Yue said again: "I also want to meet your father-in-law and his brothers and sisters who are related by blood. Half-mothers are not necessary."
Mi Zihan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have a grudging request."
"Master Mi, please speak."
Mi Zihan said: "My family has experienced countless disappointments over the years because of looking for a younger brother. My mother is in poor health. I really don't want her to be full of hope and be disappointed. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
Bai Yue could naturally understand: "Master Mi asked me to observe in secret."
"Yes." Mi Zihan said, "I will find an excuse later to invite my mother over and ask Miss Bai to watch from behind the screen. It doesn't matter if others can say it openly, they will hide it from my mother."
Mrs. Mi is about the same age as Jian Yu's mother, but she looks much more haggard in comparison, as if she is ten years older. Mi Zihan took out a famous calligraphy and painting from somewhere and asked his father and mother to come and taste it. The preface did not match the postscript.
He spoke softly for a long time.
After the two elders went back, Bai Yue came out from behind the screen, and Mi Zihan called his sister over again. However, because it was not suitable for a daughter to see her foreign husband, Jian Yu avoided suspicion this time and went into the screen.
"This is my sister, Zixin." Mi Zihan said to Bai Yue, and then spoke to his sister, suddenly changing to a very gentle tone."
"Zixin." If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have thought that Mi Zihan was talking to a four or five-year-old child: "This sister, she really likes the flowers you embroidered, so I want to ask if I can give her a beautiful flower.
?”
Mi Zixin looked sweet and cute and said with a smile: "Of course you can. Is sister a good friend of brother?"
"yes."
Mi Zixin touched her arms and took out a sachet. She looked at Bai Yue and smiled: "Sister, this is the sachet I made for you."
Mi Zixin's tone was innocent and her smile was sweet, but her eyes reflected Mi Zihan's deep reluctance and worry.
