"Mengmeng is just joking." Gan Yu patted Qi Lin's head and said with a helpless smile, "Don't say such impolite words, hurry up and apologize to Sister Yanfei."

Qi Lin naturally listened to what Gan Yu's mother said, and he bowed his head respectfully towards Yan Fei and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Yan Fei, I shouldn't have said that you have a flat chest."

"You said it again!" Yan Fei was so angry that her teeth were itching, she folded her hands on her chest and said, "Really, I used to be a little guy I hated and liked."

"By the way," Gan Yu seemed to think of something suddenly, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, he said: "Xiao Yanfei, there is something, can I trouble you?"

"Oh? Sister Gan Yu actually has time to ask for help?" Yan Fei nodded curiously, and said, "Let's talk about it first."

"The work during this period is really too busy, so I need to take a break. But if I ask for leave, the work of Yuehai Pavilion will not continue to run, and it will cause a lot of trouble," Gan Yu sighed helplessly , said: "Can I ask you to help with tomorrow's work, don't worry, these are all legal cases, if it is you, it should be easy to solve."

"Hey, what am I supposed to do?" Yan Fei smiled and counted on her fingers: "However, you are clear about my fee standard, six thousand moras for each piece of interpretation of the law, and 18 per hour for accompanying consultation. Wan Mora, a commercial case starts at 71 Mora for a single case. If you handle the work, it should be treated as an accompanying consultation. If you work for half a day, it will be six hours, a total of 100 million Mora. For the sake of the good relationship between the two of us, I will give you a small change, and it will be [-] million moras..."

In Yan Fei's words, like the arrows of the final machine, the series of "shua, shua, shua" made both Gan Yu and Qi Lin have expressions of surprise on their faces.

Sure enough, being able to become the number one lawyer in Liyue Port, this eloquence is really amazing, and he is articulate. It seems that this quotation line has been said a lot.

"Do you want... 100 million?" Gan Yu murmured.

"One million!" Qi Lin was also surprised.

"Isn't it... a bit too much?" Yanfei showed a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face, nodded and said: "Otherwise, I'm giving you a discount? If you don't have cash for a while, you can pay by installments!"

"It's too cheap!" Qi Lin and Gan Yu suddenly said in unison.

"Eh?" On Yan Fei's face, there was a puzzled expression: "Is it very cheap?"

Although Yan Fei knew that with Gan Yu's status, she should not be short of money, but using "too cheap" to describe 100 million moras was still a bit too much.

"Yes!" Qi Lin nodded and said, "It only costs 100 million moras a day, it's like jumping off a building for a sale!"

"I didn't expect it to be so cheap. Xiao Yanfei is really kind," Gan Yu said solemnly, "I don't know if there is a discount for the monthly subscription... just kidding."

As Yan Fei's status as the "No. [-] lawyer in Liyue Port", she is naturally quite wealthy. After all, the fees for a single case are basically more than one million moras. Over the years, she has also accumulated a lot of savings.

However, in Liyuegang, a place full of rich people, Yanfei's assets can only be regarded as "quite rich", not a huge wealth, let alone someone who doesn't even know how much assets she has. It's raining, even Qi Lin's assets accumulated over the years may not be comparable.

What's more, not long ago, Qi Lin had just received a "betrothal gift" of 5000 million moras from the lady. Naturally, he didn't pay attention to this mere 100 million.

"Here is a check for 300 million moras." Gan Yu casually signed a check, handed it to Yan Fei, and said with a smile, "Let's tentatively set it for three days. If it exceeds three days, the rest of the money will be paid to you." , if it’s less than three days, the remaining Mora won’t look for me either.”

"Okay... okay." Looking at the check in her hand, Yan Fei couldn't help but feel speechless on her face, and muttered: "Is this... the face of a rich man?" "Then I will trouble you, "Gan Yu touched Yan Fei's head, smiled and said: "The work of Yuehai Pavilion may be busy, and I will thank you in addition when things are done."

"No need, what is this job?" Yan Fei said quite proudly: "Since the daily salary is one million, I can still earn a lot of money."

"It seems that Sister Yanfei seems to be underestimating Yuehaiting's work," Qi Lin showed a hint of "compassion" on his face, and said helplessly: "I am afraid that the reward for Yuehaiting's work will be higher than that of Yuehaiting. Adding 100 million moras is enough, 100 million plus [-] million, and a daily salary of [-] million moras, it can barely be regarded as "earning cool".

Yan Fei shrugged her shoulders, and said: "The daily salary is [-] million moras? Even if it is me, it is difficult to do it. In the entire Liyue Port, I am afraid that there are only big businessmen like Master Tianquan who have real skills. , to do it.”

Naturally, Qi Lin would not tell Yan Fei that in the world he was originally in, even a traffic star with little talent could earn a daily salary of [-] million, which was a great way to earn money.

Although there are occupations similar to "entertainers" in Liyue Port, they are more similar to opera actors. Their kung fu has been practiced since childhood. Liyue's spectators are the most picky. If the actors do not have real talents, no one will buy it. of.

But now Yanfei doesn't know that compared to Yuehaiting's busy work, although her 300 million Mora is not a loss, it definitely doesn't take much advantage.

After temporarily entrusting the work for the next three days, Gan Yu hurriedly took Qi Lin back to Jianglin Mansion.

In the past three days, Gan Yu intends to recharge her energy and put all her energy into the task of arresting the murderer. If there is still no result within these three days, it may only mean that the murderer has disappeared.

After all, Gan Yu's job at Yuehai Pavilion is more important than arresting the murderer. If this incident delays Gan Yu's work and affects the normal operation of Liyue Port, it will be a problem. A worthwhile thing.

Unexpectedly, Gan Yu and Qi Lin found a large group of people suddenly surrounded by the side of the street before arriving at the Jianglin Mansion. It seemed that something had happened, and soldiers from the Qianyan Army could be seen around them maintaining order.

With Qi Lin's ear strength, he soon heard the conversations of passers-by:

"Another murder case!"

"Tsk tsk, this girl died too badly, her thigh was broken."

"The rumors of murderers are indeed true... Tsk tsk, it's really terrifying."

"It's been so long that the case hasn't been solved. It seems that Liyue Port really depends on the immortal..."

Gan Yu and Qi Lin looked at each other, nodded, and then walked towards the crowd together.

A soldier of the Qianyan Army who was in charge of guarding the scene saw Gan Yu and Qi Lin approaching, stepped forward quickly, folded his fists and lowered his head, saying, "Greetings...greetings to Mr. Gan Yu."

"What happened?" Gan Yu frowned.

"Reporting to Mr. Gan Yu, yes... yes..." The soldier of the Qianyan Army dodged his eyes, as if hesitating.

"Did someone get killed again!" Gan Yu's voice was quite serious: "Take me to see the corpse."

"Master Gan Yu, I don't want it anymore..." Qianyan Army soldiers looked away and said, "The deceased... oh, the death was tragic. I'm afraid that Master Gan Yu will feel uncomfortable if he sees it..."

"I said, take me to take a look." Different from the gentle and demure appearance on weekdays, Gan Yu now exudes a strong sense of oppression, how dare the Qianyan Army soldier refuse, he nodded quickly : "Please... please follow me."

Seeing the envoy of Seven Stars coming, everyone retreated to the sides one after another to make way, but Qi Lin still noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with their eyes.

It's no wonder that Gan Yu, a half-immortal body, has always been close to "omnipotent" in the eyes of the people of Liyue, but now, they can't even solve a serial murder case, which naturally makes them a little Can not accept.

Gan Yu took a deep breath, walked through the crowd, and after seeing the scene in front of her, she couldn't help showing a shocked expression.

It was the body of a young girl. The blue dress on her body had been crushed to pieces, and the exposed skin was almost covered with horrifying scars. That pretty face had already been distorted by fright. .

What was even more surprising was that one of the girl's thighs had completely disappeared, leaving only a horrible wound. The blood had already solidified, but it still looked terrifying.

Gan Yu couldn't accept such a young girl lying dead on the street like this. Although she had carefully studied every corpse before, those corpses were all placed in the morgue. This is still Gan Yu. Seeing the crime scene for the first time.

The horrific death, the pungent smell of blood, and the terrified expression on the girl's face all pierced into Gan Yu's chest like a steel needle, making her clenched her fists, even her nails, They all sank deep into the flesh of the palm of their hand.

At this moment, a heart-piercing exclamation suddenly came from outside the crowd, and a middle-aged woman in her forties staggered out of the crowd. Behind the corpse, she let out another howl and jumped on it.

The two soldiers of the Qianyan Army who were in charge of guarding the scene wanted to stop them, but they were surprised to find that the seemingly thin middle-aged woman broke away from the two soldiers and threw herself on top of the corpse with some strength from nowhere , crying loudly: "Xiaochun...my Xiaochun! Wake up...don't scare mom! Do evil! Without you... how can I live!"

It seems that this middle-aged woman should be the mother of the deceased "Xiaochun". Seeing her in agony, the passers-by around her couldn't help feeling a burst of grief because of empathy.

And Gan Yu, who is also a mother, naturally understands the pain of bereavement. She even suddenly thought that if the corpse lying in front of her was not the girl named "Xiaochun", but her son Qi Lin, what would he look like.

No, that was too painful, even the strong-willed Gan Yu didn't dare to think about it.

"Gan...Master Gan Yu..." At this moment, a blood-stained hand suddenly grabbed Gan Yu's dress, and saw the middle-aged woman, her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was hoarse. "I only have one daughter. She is dead, and that murderer is still at large! Mr. Gan Yu... you can make the decision for me!" The woman's words immediately ignited like a spark. The fuse of the explosive barrel, the surrounding Liyue people, also immediately exploded the pot, and discussions arose:

"Yes! Lord Gan Yu, when will the criminal be brought to justice!"

"We don't want to live in fear anymore!"

"Pay back your debts, kill for your life!"

"If even Mr. Gan Yu can't catch the murderer, how can we ordinary people feel at ease?"

"..."

When people were arguing, I saw a haggard-looking man rushing out from the crowd, his eyes wide open with bloodshot eyes, pointing at Gan Yu, and scolding loudly: "You guys, Enjoying Liyue's salary for nothing, eating a vegetarian meal in the corpse's place, and letting the murderer go unpunished, you will give back my daughter's life!"

This man, apparently also a family member of one of the victims, seemed to have lost his mind because of the pain and grief. He picked up a stone directly from the ground and threw it at Gan Yu's body.

With Gan Yu's strength, it is easy to avoid the stone thrown by this mortal. Even if he does not dodge or dodge, Gan Yu's lingering protective energy can easily shake the stone into pieces.

But maybe, because of self-blame, Gan Yu receded her protective energy, and only heard a "pop", the stone hit Gan Yu's head, and it instantly became shattered, and the traces of blood also followed Gan Yu's forehead flowed down.

"Gan Yu's mother!" Seeing that Gan Yu was injured, even Qi Lin, who had always been rational, felt a rush of blood in his chest because of anger. He stared at the man who threw the stone, and said angrily, "You bastard!"

However, when Qi Lin was about to rush forward, he was suddenly stopped by Gan Yu: "Mengmeng, don't be impulsive."

It may be because of seeing Gan Yu, who is usually aloof, injured and bleeding, the noisy crowd has calmed down now, and the man who threw the stone just now seems to have regained his composure from his anger. Can't help showing a face of self-blame, muttered: "Gan...Master Gan Yu, I...I didn't do it on purpose."

After all, the charge of "deliberately injuring an important member of Liyue" alone is enough for him to be sent to prison in Liyue, even if Yan Fei came to be a lawyer, he could not get rid of the crime.

"I'm not angry. In fact, as the Secretary-General of Yuehai Pavilion and the envoy of the Seven Stars, I cannot escape the blame for this case." Gan Yu calmly wiped the blood from his forehead, and said with a blank expression: "Everyone, please, believe in me, believe in Liyue Qixing, and believe in the General Affairs Department. The criminal will definitely be brought to justice and given the punishment he deserves. Three days, give me another three days. If this case still cannot be resolved If so, I, Gan Yu, am willing to take the blame and resign, and donate all my property as compensation to the families of the victims, and I, Gan Yu, will leave Liyue Port from now on, and never take another step forward."

These few short words were loud and powerful, and made all the residents of Liyue, who were angry or panicked, immediately calm down.

Soon, people seemed to realize something, and discussions arose again.

"How...how could this be? How could Liyue Gang leave Lord Gan Yu?"

"Master Gan Yu! We definitely don't mean to blame you!"

"Please take back the oath just now, this matter... still needs to be discussed in the long run!"

Everyone knows that Gan Yu has worked in Liyue Port for thousands of years, and she has almost never made any mistakes in her work, and she has never broken her promise in every "vow" she said.

In other words, if the murderer is not arrested within three days, then Gan Yu will really leave Liyue... No, to be precise, Liyue will lose Ganyu.

Everyone's faces showed anxious expressions, especially the man who threw the stone just now knelt down and kowtowed, "Master Gan Yu! You can't say that! It's my pig!" I'm confused! It's me who doesn't know what to do..."

He kowtowed so hard that there were bloodstains on his head, Gan Yu immediately took a step forward, supported his body, with a gentle smile on his face: "This matter has nothing to do with you, on the contrary, I should thank you , If I hadn't seen your attitude, I'm afraid this case would have been dragged on again and again, it's time to put an end to it."

In fact, criminal cases like the "serial murder case" should be taken full responsibility by the General Affairs Department, but Gan Yu's reputation is so high that he has even become a "living Bodhisattva" among the people of Liyue. She can easily solve things, and as the saying goes, "With greater ability, comes greater responsibility". It is precisely because of this responsibility that Gan Yu resolutely takes this burden on her shoulders.

However, Qi Lin at the side felt helpless in his heart at this moment.

To be honest, Gan Yu's behavior just now is undoubtedly a good way to calm the public anger, but the price is indeed too high.

"Sorry, Mengmeng..." Gan Yu looked at Qi Lin with a helpless expression on his face: "If this case really cannot be solved, I may have to leave Liyue Port, but you can still continue Live here. Liyue Port is still your home."

"I don't want it!" Unexpectedly, Qi Lin shook his head and said: "For Mengmeng, there is only one place that is home, and that is beside Gan Yu's mother, Liyue Port without Gan Yu's mother, It's not my home, if you want to leave, I will also go with you, to the end of the world, never leave."

"Well, the ends of the earth, never leave!" Gan Yu couldn't help showing a very moved expression on his face: "Don't worry, at least... if it doesn't work, we will live with Zhenjun Liuyun Borrowing Wind, and she must also Will be very happy."

"Wait a minute!" Qi Lin shook his head hastily, and said helplessly, "Don't make it seem like we are bound to fail, there are still three days left, everything will turn around, and... I just discovered an important clue .”

"Clues?" Gan Yu was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked, "What clues?"

"Have you noticed? Before, the 'common thing' of the victims was that they were all wearing red clothes or skirts," Qi Lin pointed to the corpse not far away, and said doubtfully: "However, this body The clothes on the body are blue, does this mean that the clues we have obtained before are themselves wrong?"

Indeed, because the previous victims were all dressed in red, and according to some subtle "rules", it seems that these murderers just like to stare at the targets in red, which also makes the relationship between Gan Yu and XingXiu The "bait plan" is based on "wearing red clothes".

But this victim was dressed in blue, that is to say, maybe the clue of "only attack girls in red" is just a wrong clue in itself, and it is precisely because of this that the bait plan of Gan Yu and others is so successful. will have no effect.

Gan Yu nodded immediately, and said: "You are right, but if the commonality of these victims is not 'red clothes', what would be the commonality? Is this just a random crime targeting young women? ?”

"No, Mom Gan Yu, are you aware of one thing?" Qi Lin sniffled his nose lightly and frowned slightly: "Almost every time we see a dead body, we smell a very strange fragrance." .”

"Fragrance?" Gan Yu quickly sniffed her nose, as expected, there seemed to be a hint of strange fragrance among the strong smell of blood.

[Complete the conditions and get the skill "Sense of Smell Enhancement LV9"]

However, the smell of this fragrance is very light, and probably only Gan Yu, who is a semi-immortal body, and Qi Lin, who has the skill of "enhanced sense of smell", can smell it.

And Gan Yu's memory is very strong, it's not just similar to "photographic memory", but can remember almost any moment and anything that happened.

For ordinary people, generally speaking, they can only remember some relatively important things or things that have left a deep impression on themselves. For example, you may remember that you did a shameful thing one day last month and felt Embarrassing, but hard to remember, what I had for lunch that day, and what I did at 03:30 in the afternoon.

But for Gan Yu, this is not a difficult task at all. Thousands of years of memories are in her mind, even if it is only a few days ago, she will firmly remember the smell when examining the corpse .
