"Ancheng Evening News, another case happened in Ancheng today. A dead body was found in the garden behind Huarui Community. The identity is unknown. Same as last time, there was a black spot on the neck of the dead body. There were no other wounds on the body. It was a sudden suffocation. Combining the two cases, the police suspect that the possibility of homicide is extremely high."

Bai Ye was grabbing slices of meat with Qiao Lingxi. He glanced at the TV screen and was slightly dazed. The chopsticks for holding vegetables also stopped in midair.Looking at the familiar path on the screen, something inexplicably connected, a sentence popped out of Bai Ye's mind.

"Xiao Bai, you don't want to go to that park, especially that path, especially at night." The boy's face appeared in front of his eyes, and Bai Ye still remembered the expression when he said this.

He was reminding himself that that place was dangerous, so don't go there.But why did he know it was dangerous?

Bai Ye fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Bai Ye was in a daze, Qiao Lingxi picked up a piece of meat and put it in Bai Ye's mouth.

"Eat quickly, what are you thinking about while breathing?"

Bai Ye turned his head abruptly, grabbed Qiao Lingxi's wrist, and stared at Qiao Lingqi with staring eyes. His breathing was also a little short, and the heat hit Qiao Lingxi's face.

"Qiao Lingxi, I seem to have discovered something."

"Fa... what did you find?"

Qiao Lingxi clenched his hands slightly, and when he met Bai Ye's eyes, his heart beat faster.He didn't know whether he was looking forward to it or nervous, and his face was blushing.

Bai Ye leaned forward, his face was about to touch Qiao Lingqi's, and with a hint of mystery in the corners of his eyes, he approached Qiao Lingqi.

"I seem to have discovered something very important, but I have to verify that the kid must be hiding something."

The kid was talking about the boy, but Qiao Lingqi thought Bai Ye was talking about him, so he blinked unnaturally, grabbed Bai Ye with his backhand, and breathed warm breath into his face.

"What else do you want to prove? I have never hidden it."

"What?" Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, his mind was full of thoughts about that strange boy, he didn't know what Qiao Lingqi was talking about, looking into his eyes, Bai Ye scratched his head.

"What are you hiding?"

"Don't you know?" Qiao Lingxi stared at Bai Ye.

"Know what?" Bai Ye asked casually.

"Know my hiding..."

Qiao Lingqi narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the pretty face in front of her eyes, her eyes were clear, the man's high nose bridge, and the red lips from eating hot pot, swaying in front of her eyes, more alluring than cherries -people.He couldn't hold back any longer, and moved his mouth together.

At that moment, sparks flew, and the lips were about to collide.

Bai Ye suddenly stood up.He didn't notice Qiao Lingxi's movements at all, and didn't even think much about his words.

"No, I'm going to visit the park tomorrow." Bai Ye said to himself, still immersed in the news and the boy's affairs, turned and went into the bedroom.

The people around him suddenly became empty.Qiao Lingxi opened her eyes, looked at Bai Ye's back, and frowned tightly.

What does he mean by this.Qiao Lingxi exhausted all his logic and couldn't figure it out. He even searched the Internet and found out what his reaction meant.

Qiao Lingqi probably couldn't figure it out. This was simply a beautiful little misunderstanding.

Just as Bai Ye lay down, Qiao Lingqi walked in.Undressing and going to bed, without the slightest hesitation, she put her arms around his waist and even walked around his body. Qiao Lingqi asked him what he meant in this way.

"Stop making trouble, go to bed quickly, I have something to do tomorrow." Bai Ye turned over.

"Bai Ye, what did you mean just now?"

Qiao Lingxi didn't give up and asked directly.

"What do you mean? What's the wind at night?" Bai Ye covered the quilt and couldn't wait to go to sleep. He must catch that kid tomorrow and ask.

"What the hell do you mean!"

"..."

"Since you know that I like you, shouldn't you give me a response? The general logic should be like this."

Qiao Lingxi's hand reached out to Bai Ye's chest, her fingers were circling, and she even walked all the way to the abdomen, and then down, it was a restricted area.

"Why don't you talk? Don't you usually talk a lot?" Qiao Lingxi squeezed him hard, but he still didn't speak, and didn't stop Qiao Lingqi.

"Bai Ye, you're not going to play tricks on me again, are you? I don't have your flamboyant guts."

"Bai Ye, do you mean to agree? Don't make things complicated with me. I like straightforward relationships."

"White……"

Bai Ye's snoring had already started, Qiao Lingxi broke Bai Ye's body and saw that he had already fallen asleep.It was rare for him to say so many words, but Ganqing didn't hear a single word. Qiao Lingqi was a little annoyed, and slapped him on the butt. He snorted, and fell asleep without saying a word.

Qiao Lingxi withdrew her hand and stared blankly at the ceiling above her head.

What does Bai Ye mean?Why is it so complicated... Qiao Lingxi couldn't understand it at all.

The next morning, as soon as he finished eating, Bai Ye ran out in such a hurry that he couldn't hold back.Qiao Lingxi gnawed on the fritters, looking at the empty opposite, not at all energetic.He didn't feel this way when he lived by himself before, but now he can't eat without someone sitting across from him.

"Come back early at noon, and I'll prepare a meal for you to eat."

Qiao Lingqi sent a message to Bai Ye, and waited for half an hour before the other party replied.

"Ah."

Um?Qiao Lingqi slammed the phone down on the sofa, and after waiting for a long time, she replied with such a word, not knowing what she was doing.

Qiao Lingxi was inexplicably irritable, and the company staff began to be inexplicably nervous again.

The secretary sent the documents in three times, but he refused to go in no matter what. Finally, An Ming took the documents with him when he passed by.

"Boss." An Ming put the documents aside, took out another stack of documents and placed them in front of Qiao Lingqi.

"what is this?"

"The information you want is about Miracle Investment Company."

"Oh, it was found out so quickly."

Qiao Lingxi picked up the information and was so busy guessing with Bai Ye that she almost forgot the serious matter.An Ming looked surprised. He was in a hurry before, but now he is too fast.

Qiao Lingxi flipped through the information, Miracle Investment Company is indeed a small company, and it has done only a handful of projects. The only one that can be obtained is the Ancheng Underground, and it was many years ago, and the underground maintenance project lasted for 20 years. for many years.

"When did the underground tunnel project start?" Qiao Lingqi didn't find this item.

"This has been going on for decades, and the exact date can't be found. I'm afraid it dates back to before the founding of the People's Republic of China." An Ming frowned.

"Before the founding of the nation?"

Qiao Lingxi couldn't believe it, but it was a small company, how could it survive for so many years.

An Ming took another document and handed it to Qiao Lingqi.

"This is the earliest record of this project. In 1951, two years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Miracle Company existed at that time and had already set foot in underground tunnel management. But it was only a personal capital at that time. Ancheng urgently needed to recover after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there was no With a lot of money, Miracle Company, which is already managing the underground tunnels, publicly disclosed the funds and contracted all the underground tunnels in Ancheng."

"So, records only started in 1951, and Miracle has been involved in this project for much longer than that..."

Qiao Lingqi pursed her lips, faintly feeling that there were many things worth digging out, and Miracle Company was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"As for the source of the company's funds, Ancheng is not a small place, and it costs a lot of money to maintain the underground tunnels."

"This..." An Ming was a little embarrassed.

"The state allocates funds?" Qiao Lingxi looked at Bai Ye. General urban management, whether it is underground roads or gardens, has state funds.

"It would be great if it was that simple." An Ming shook his head, "It was not until after the reform and opening up that the state allocated funds to Miracle for underground projects. But the funds are not normal."

Qiao Lingxi comprehended, "Sure enough, the state funds supported this company."

"No, this company maintains the entire underground tunnel in Ancheng."

Qiao Lingxi was stunned for half a second, looking at An Ming with complicated eyes.An Ming took out a document and put it in Qiao Lingxi's hands.

"This is a comparison chart of national funds allocation, which is for several nearby cities and Ancheng. The management cost of the underground tunnel in Ancheng is not only not high, but also the lowest. It is less than half of the city A next door, but the area of ​​Ancheng is three times that of City A."

An Ming frowned, and he couldn't understand that a company only had such a successful project.

"Such a clean company."

Qiao Lingqi sighed, with the accent on the word "clean".

"Contributing so much to Ancheng, what about the company's other sources of funds?"

"Sorry boss, I didn't find out."

An Ming lowered his head. He tried all the methods but failed to find out the source of the funds. It was neither domestic capital nor foreign capital. The company provided funds out of nowhere as if it had a gold mine at home.

"A company that has existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China has only one project, has not yet made a profit, and has even been subsidizing money. It has no source of funds, and it has been maintained like this for decades."

There is such a miraculous company, so the miracle in the spirit stone necklace must be related to this miracle company.Qiao Lingxi raised her brows, and a faint smile appeared from the corner of her mouth.

"Boss, I'm the one who's useless this time." An Ming felt bad. Recently, he couldn't complete the tasks that Qiao Lingqi gave him.

"It's okay, you've done a good job." Qiao Lingqi still had a smile on his face.

An Ming looked at the smile on Qiao Lingxi's face, and was a little surprised. He didn't find anything, so why did he still smile.Of course, An Ming didn't know what Qiao Lingxi was thinking. With a little progress on the question that he had been wondering for a long time, Qiao Lingxi naturally smiled.

"An Ming, continue to investigate, we can use extraordinary means." Qiao Lingqi looked at Bai Ye with a cold light in his eyes.

"I understand." An Ming nodded.

After An Ming went out, Qiao Lingxi kept the documents on the table until the clock rang at noon.Qiao Lingqi, who was still immersed in thinking just now, threw away the documents, picked up the phone, and made a call.

"Bai Ye, what do you want for lunch..."
