C27 (1/2)
Xia Mingyuan guessed right, Captain Long called me the next night.
”Master, have you finished packing?” They didn't explain the case clearly, they just told us to hurry up and go. ”
After I hung up the phone, I hastily packed my stuff and went to Xia Mingyuan's door to wait for him.
Xia Mingyuan took the few things he had prepared and walked to the door. He thought about it for a while, then decided to bring the Jade Glaze Kirin Sovereign along.
”Let's go!”
I saw the jade calligraphy in his hand and did not understand.
”Why did you bring Miss Su along as well?”
As Xia Mingyuan placed Hierarch Liu-Li into his bag, he explained, ”These few cases might be related to the prayers, I can't be sure. I have to get her to personally take a look.”
I barely understood the situation he was talking about, but I knew that this wasn't the time to be wasting my time. I hastily followed him out the door.
Ji Yu had prepared the car early in the morning, so we went out and drove straight to the city center.
Captain Long was waiting outside the Jinyun Hotel in the center of the city. He was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, constantly stamping his feet.
”Captain, don't be in such a hurry. This isn't the first time we're handling a case like this. Look at how anxious you are …”
”Shut up!” Captain Long angrily turned around and scolded his subordinate.
How could these youngsters know that this matter was so special? If it was like usual, he would probably be as careless as they were. However, after being repeatedly emphasized by Master Xia last time, for some reason, his heart suddenly became uneasy.
Captain Long smoked most of the cigarettes at the door before finally seeing a familiar car appear in his line of sight.
”Miss Lin, you've finally arrived. ”This is …”
Captain Long saw that there was a stranger in the car, and all the words he had originally wanted to say stuck in his throat.
”Captain, let me introduce him to you. This is my senior brother, he has been cultivating on the mountain and has never come down before.” I was worried that I wouldn't be able to control the situation myself, so I got senior brother to help me.
We already knew that Captain Long would ask, and Xia Mingyuan had already told me all of this in the car to save himself the trouble of being exposed.
”So you're also Master Xia's disciple. That would be great, then the chances of winning are even greater.”
Xia Ming could see that he was extremely anxious. Sweat covered his forehead, and he couldn't help but frown.
”Captain, please explain the situation to us two brothers and sisters first. We need to prepare.”
Captain Long sighed and looked at the biggest hotel in the center of the city behind him.
”It's a murder case, and it's very strange. They're all women, and they're pretty pretty. They're in a miserable state now, this is the third one.”
I looked at Captain Long in astonishment. There were already three murders, no wonder he was in such a hurry.
Xia Mingyuan worriedly spoke as he looked at the grievances lingering in the air.
”He's probably a tough nut to crack. His resentment won't disperse at all …”
Hearing Xia Mingyuan's words, Captain Long also looked up at the sky and realized that it was indeed a bit hazy. He didn't know if it was just an illusion created by what Xia Mingyuan had said.
”Shi …” Brother, are we going in directly? ”
I almost blurted out 'Teacher'. Luckily, Xia Mingyuan turned around and gave me a faint look before hurriedly changing his words.
”No rush, Captain Long, are there any brothers from the police station inside?”
Captain Long nodded and gave us a rough idea at the door.
