Looking at Paracles who hugged herself tightly and pouted her small mouth, Li Yexing's stiff expression became a little softer inadvertently. I don't know when it started, that person always put on a fart smiling face, The Demon God King, who is proud of his treachery and evil, has become more and more like an ordinary kid who likes to act like a baby.
No, come to think of it, she still seems like a badass when she's away from home.
Holding Parakris' slender waist with one hand, and stroking Parakris' silver hair with the other hand, Li Yexing raised his head and asked Liu Yuexiang in a deep voice, "Where is Shi Yao?"
"Where are you?" Hearing Li Yexing's question, Liu Yuexiang stepped aside immediately, and at the same time focused her gaze on the corner of the room.
Following Liu Yuexiang's gaze, Li Yexing turned her head and saw a small white flower squatting in the corner by the window sill of the room. She hugged her knees and turned her back to the crowd. Her lowered head seemed to be sinking into the room. In the Mariana Trench, I don't know whether it was sudden depression or thinking about the past.
"I found her near Tokyo Bay. At that time, there were many people gathered in Tokyo Harbor, as well as police cars and fire engines. She was mixed with the nearby onlookers, looking dazed..." Together with Li Yexing Looking at Chu Shiyao who was squatting in the corner, Liu Yuexiang said with a delicate expression: "At first, I thought she was just lost, but since she just came back, she has been hiding herself in the corner. She did it a few times, but she said it would make her feel better."
"Stay silent, feeling like I've done something wrong, and persuading her several times has no effect..." Mentioning Chu Shiyao, Paracles, who was hanging on Li Yexing, frowned slightly and asked: "So, mortal, what did you take her for?"
"Well... Logically speaking, this is Yexing's business, I shouldn't express my opinion..." Looking at Chu Shiyao who was thinking about it, Liu Yuexiang cautiously approached Li Yexing, lowering her voice Said: "However, I still hope that Ye Xing will not be too harsh on sister Shiyao's work. Unlike me and this short winter melon, sister Shiyao has been buried for most of her 1000 years of life. Subterranean, she's still a 16-year-old at heart."
Although he didn't intend to be harsh on Chu Shiyao, Li Yexing still nodded slightly to June Xiang, and then he let go of Parax, and walked straight towards Chu Shiyao who was squatting in the corner, following his footsteps Standing still behind Chu Shiyao, he clearly saw that Chu Shiyao's body trembled violently, and her head, which was sandwiched between her thighs, was buried even lower.
"I'm back." After a while, Li Yexing said in a deep voice.
"En." Wriggling like a snail, she shrank a little more towards the corner, and Chu Shiyao let out a nasal sound.
"My master is home, I won't get up to greet you..." After holding back for a long time, but he couldn't think of any words of comfort, after searching his stomach, Li Yexing said in a deep voice, "What kind of concubine's room is this?"
There is no doubt that Li Yexing's words have extremely low EQ, which can be called a social disaster, and almost shocked the jaws of Paracles and June Xiang. However, these words have a very high impact on Chu Shiyao, a little feudal remnant. With the lethality of Li Yexing's words, she stood up abruptly as if a switch had been pressed, and while turning her head slightly bowed to Li Yexing, she hurriedly said: "Guanguanguanguanguan... .officials!"
Ignoring Chu Shiyao's exclamation, he hugged Chu Shiyao by the waist, Li Yexing sat on the bed, and said to Chu Shiyao in a deep voice, "Report tonight's actions."
"Yes!" Hurriedly nodding to Li Yexing, Chu Shiyao began to tell the story of chasing Miss Mou. Along with the soft-spoken narration, her voice became lower and lower, as low as hers. Little head, when it came to Miss Kari's self-explosion on the spot, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
"Shiyao...Shiyao...I'm sorry for the officials..." Finally unable to hold back, the corners of Chu Shiyao's eyes were flushed, and tears kept rolling in her eyes, dodging Li Yexing's sight , she said with tears: "The officials trust Shiyao, so they entrusted Shiyao with a heavy responsibility, asking Shiyao to hunt down the fairy demon in Dongying, but Shiyao... Shiyao failed to bring her back, This is... this is Shi Yao's crime..."
As she said that, she saw Chu Shiyao suddenly raised her head, and there was a bit of fear hidden in her emerald-like eyes. Facing Li Yexing's slightly frowning brows, she said anxiously: "Shiyao has ruined the important matter of officials. , the crime is unforgivable, if the officials are still angry, just beat and punish Shiyao, just treat Shiyao with family law, but... just... don't drive Shiyao away, and don't take Shiyao away. sell it..."
Seeing that Chu Shiyao was really about to cry, Li Yexing only felt that one head was two big.
What?Sell you?Why sell you?Isn't this stuff for my wife to pamper?How can there be any reason to sell it to others?And that family law, beating and scolding, why don't I remember that our family had this kind of family law?
Besides, if I really want to engage in family law, I should be the first to be cleaned up, right?Twice... no, three times, three times cheating, if the family law is really established, I will eat the sonic boxing of Paracles and June Xiang in all likelihood. It was broken into slag, and it was estimated that the forensic doctor would be pissed off on the spot.
Although his heart was like a galloping horse, his face remained unchanged. Looking at Chu Shiyao who didn't know how to comfort him, Li Yexing decided to use his invincible trump card, and looked affectionately at Chu Shiyao's tears. He lowered his head, He directly kissed Chu Shiyao's lips.
The witch's kiss is so moist and soft that people can't help but indulge in it and release their greed wantonly.
After a while, his lips parted. Li Yexing's expression didn't change, but Chu Shiyao's watery eyes widened, her cherry lips were slightly parted, and she couldn't speak.
"Night travel..."
"mortal..."
Suddenly, the calls of two witches, one big and one small, sounded in his ears. Li Yexing was taken aback for a moment, and then he turned his head, only to see Paracles and June Xiang approaching at some point, blinking His eyes looked at him eagerly, but he refused to speak, as if he was waiting for something.
Oh, by the way, the rain and dew are both wet, since I kissed Chu Shiyao, I have to make one for each of Paracles and Liu Yuexiang.
Watch it!Shi Yao!This is our family law!
Chapter-94. Possess special skills
In the past, Li Yexing did not understand the meaning of family members. After all, in his previous life, his mother left very early and his father ignored his family. This caused him to be basically freed, especially after he embarked on the path of murder and arson. His emotions became even weaker, but now, when the three girls were cuddling up and down on his body, he suddenly understood a little.
A family is like a tree for birds to inhabit and a harbor for ships to moor. As long as the family is there, even if the world falls outside, I can always find a place to breathe.
To put it simply, although he was scheming severely and caused his mood to explode, after kissing his three witches, big, middle and small, one by one, Li Yexing's gloom disappeared in an instant, and he felt that he could do it again.
Of course, not everyone present could be as open-minded as Li Yexing. Even after kissing, Chu Shiyao was still a little uneasy. She leaned on Li Yexing's chest and asked cautiously, "Officer. ..Do you really not blame Shi Yao?"
"Sister Shiyao, don't worry, Ye Xing is not the kind of person who hides his emotions in his heart..." Leaning on Li Ye Xing's left shoulder, Liu Yuexiang chuckled and said, "If he kissed you, it means he is real. not angry."
"That's right, so much nonsense..." Leaning on Li Yexing's right shoulder, Paracles frowned slightly and said, "I gave you my exclusive position today, what else do you have to worry about?" ?”
Sitting on Li Yexing's lap, listening to the comfort of the two sisters, Chu Shiyao was still a little uneasy. She looked at Li Yexing timidly like a little rabbit, and she had to tell Li Yexing herself that she was not angry. Ken give up.
"I'm not angry, it's not your fault, it's my fault..." Facing the uneasy gaze of the rabbit girl, Li Yexing lowered his head and said softly: "I didn't expect that I was calculated."
In fact, Li Yexing was not surprised at all by the failure of Chu Shiyao's actions. Rather, from the moment he found out that he had been tricked, he knew that Chu Shiyao probably had no chance to capture that Japanese witch alive. Once it is found that Chu Shiyao cannot be defeated at all, and there is no chance to escape, then the opponent will probably carry forward a wave of traditional Japanese arts.
It can only be said that the old samurai way.
Although there are still many mysteries and uncertainties in the whole incident, Li Yexing is not a fool at all after surviving many battles. In addition, after working in the department for a long time and seeing all kinds of old foxes, his Inevitably, his thoughts began to gradually move closer to them. When he returned to the girls, his mood calmed down, and he quickly sorted out the cause and effect of all this tonight.
Undoubtedly, there was nothing wrong with Li Yexing's investigation. Rather, his investigation was directed in the right direction. He cooperated with the restless members of Yinyang Liao and used Haitong Co., Ltd. as a wedge to connect the previous experiences. Together, turning into a clue, he is like a knife, straight to the heart of the man behind the scenes.
It's a pity that this is not the Celestial Dynasty, not Country E, or Burma, but Japan, which is the headquarters of the mastermind behind the scenes, and Li Yexing's opponent is a supernatural organization that has developed for an unknown period of time, and even the people of Country A have not been able to discover it. They, their supernatural means, can be imagined.
If you love to check, then I will let you check. This is a trick.
In order to monitor Yuko Sakai, Miki Kobayakawa used her relationship in the Japanese Yakuza Sakikai, but obviously, it is impossible for the Sakikai to only serve the Tsuchimikado family. The Ishikawa group under the association must have leaked Kobayakawa Miki's surveillance operations, and the black hand behind the scenes took this opportunity to directly let Sakai Yuko meet the Japanese witch at the pier, and deliberately let the Ishikawa group release the news to Kobayakawa Miki.
Everything that followed was logical. Li Yexing and Kobayakawa Miki got the news, went straight to the pier, and started chasing Sakai Yuko and the unknown Japanese witch, while the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Ishikawa group had already made preparations. The former maliciously delayed According to Miki Kobayakawa's order, the latter is ready to use traffic accidents to stop Miki Kobayakawa's car at any time. After the stop is the second step of this plan, they will lure or even force Li Yexing to make extraordinary actions, so as to Put all the investigators from the Celestial Dynasty in an awkward position.
As for the third step, it is to ensure that Li Yexing will be arrested by Yinyangliao. For this reason, they even used the same methods used in Jiangdong District to the investigation team, so that the investigation team was entangled and unable to reach the scene. , even if the investigation team can endure the malicious troubles from Jidao, they will be stumbling, causing Li Yexing to fall into the hands of Yinyangliao, and directly lose the initiative to talk to Yinyangliao. It would be even better if Taoist personnel clashed.
These three moves are not only sinister, but also ruthless. Yuko Sakai and the Japanese witch who came to meet were directly regarded as abandoned children, but the two abandoned children did not know about it. The purpose of the black hand behind the scenes, It is to wipe out Li Yexing and his support team, and even the entire investigation team, and drive them out of Japan!
That's why I said that Li Yexing was not surprised at the self-explosion of the Japanese witch. Not only that, but he was even sure that even if he managed to escape the pursuit of himself and Miki Kobayakawa, that Miss Sakai Yuko would still not survive today. Night!
With the death of Sakai Yuko and the Japanese witch, all clues have been cut off so far, and the investigation work has been pushed back to the original point. The worst thing is that the secret cooperation between Li Yexing and Kobayakawa Miki was directly put on the table , Let alone action now, the two of them might find it difficult to protect themselves.
Thinking of this, Li Yexing's mouth slowly curled into a sinister smile.
No, it cannot be said that it has been pushed back to the original point. At the very least, there are some things that are certain. First, the direction of the investigation is correct. Many, as long as there is a move, there will be flaws.
Second, in Tokyo, the mastermind behind the scenes is black and white, and at least has the power to influence the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and remotely control the Tokyo Yakuza Sakikai. The members of the association just don't belong to the Ishikawa group. As long as it can be confirmed that the interceptor in Shinjuku City belongs to the Saki Association, a new clue will immediately appear in front of us.
Third, and the most important one, maybe Miki Kobayakawa is trustworthy, but Yinyangliao has a problem, and it has a big problem!
As a civil servant of the Celestial Dynasty, he obviously went out to handle a case, but fought with Jidao on the streets of Jiangdong District.nausea!
It stands to reason that Li Yexing is thoughtful and skilled; He is also extremely versatile and never pulls his hips. It can be said that the few people present tonight are all possessing unique skills, but tonight, in Yinyang Liao, someone reacted wrongly!
Tsuchimikado Takekuro!
Tonight, everything that happened to Li Yexing was clearly the result of someone maliciously targeting him and secretly setting him up. Such an obvious thing, even Li Yexing, a fake cadre who became a monk halfway and a real reckless man, could see it. As one of the four officials of Yinyangliao Will Takekuro Tsuchimikado fail to see? !
There is no doubt that the judge of Yin Yang Liao, Miki Kobayakawa's adopted brother, has a ghost in his heart!
Chapter-95. Domestic Liaison
On the second day after the pursuit failed, because there were no evening activities, Li Yexing was in a good state of mind and got up very early.
As usual, first do a simple morning exercise to restore your body to its best condition. Immediately afterwards, Li Yexing took a cold shower to wash off the thin sweat on his body. After leaving the bathroom, he put on his clothes. The Three-Cup Witch was still lying on the bed, not intending to get up at all. He left the room alone and took the elevator to the cafeteria on the first floor.
A new day starts with a good breakfast.
Walking into the cafeteria, there were not many people eating breakfast, and some of them were familiar faces in the investigation team. After nodding sullenly, Li Yexing turned his head, and his eyes lingered on the Japanese menu for a few times before he remembered He didn't understand Japanese at all, so he thought about it, and didn't want to talk to other people in the investigation team, so he could only come to the glass counter, pointing at the food inside through the glass, and pointing at the food inside, and taking the food that June Xiang had prepared for himself earlier. A large handful of Japanese yen is spread out on the counter.
There was a bit of curiosity in her eyes, and a bit of weirdness. Dressed in white, the girl dressed as a chef picked up a large sandwich from the glass cabinet, put it on the dinner plate, and handed Li Yexing a box of milk , after finding the money for Li Yexing, she leaned slightly and whispered to Li Yexing in Japanese: "Thank you for your patronage."
Holding milk and sandwiches, Li Yexing found a table at random and sat down, sipping breakfast, his eyes were out of focus, he was still thinking about yesterday's hunt and follow-up investigation.
Undoubtedly, there are problems with Tsuchimikado Takekuro and even the entire Yinyangliao. Although the reason is unclear, Yinyangliao must have played a role in this investigation that is contrary to the position of the investigation team. Having reached this level, what needs to be considered is not just the detection of the case.
The question right now is not how to check, but... can I still check?
If this investigation must be carried forward, Li Yexing has ideas, but the problem is that from the beginning, the cause of this case was just the disappearance of the little kid from the Yue family. Now that the little kid from the Yue family has been found, In addition to losing the memory of Japan, there are no missing arms or legs, and even abducted a Japanese witch in the opposite direction. For an incident that did not cause substantial losses, dozens of people risked tearing up with the Japanese authorities. Is it really appropriate to play an away game against an invisible and intangible behemoth, even at the risk of losing your life?
Li Yexing didn't care about work matters. He always took money to do things, and he didn't need to consider his position or political issues. But what would his immediate bosses, those old foxes who lived in Beijing, think?If they understand the situation here, will they allow this investigation to continue?Should we continue to dig deeper, or close the case hastily?
Just as Li Yexing was thinking wildly, suddenly, a familiar sound of footsteps came from his ears, and then, a tall and beautiful figure wrapped in a black professional attire was sitting directly opposite him holding a tray.
Even if he didn't raise his head, Li Yexing knew that it must be Bai Muqing who came.
"It's rare to have a good night's sleep. It seems that what happened yesterday has made you very tired..." Bai Muqing didn't hear Yungong Xun's voice from the next door. Today, Bai Muqing looked extraordinarily energetic. After natto and miso soup were lined up one by one, she asked with a chuckle, "Are you absent-minded, are you still thinking about what happened yesterday?"
There is nothing to shy away from this matter, Li Yexing simply nodded.
"If there is no accident, the country will issue a solution to you within today..." Seeing that Li Yexing seemed not in high spirits, Bai Muqing comforted softly: "Don't worry too much, you have done your best, but there are some things that we There is no way."
"There is a way..." A sternness flashed in his eyes, Li Yexing grinned and said in a deep voice, "As long as the old foxes are willing to nod, there is a way, and there are plenty of ways."
"Don't laugh like that, it's so creepy..." A chill ran through his head, Bai Muqing shrank his neck and said, "Besides, if you plan to use some extraordinary means, I have to remind you, we You are a public servant, and you have to follow the rules.”
Follow the rules?I can't see it, can I?If you really want to follow the rules, why don't you just send all the details of the Myanmar operation to the investigation team?Why did you still send me to Tokyo?
Feeling over Bai Muqing's excessive naivety and limited thinking, Li Yexing lowered his head and took a big bite of the sandwich in his hand.
Soon, breakfast was over. After drinking the boxed milk, Li Yexing stood up, went to the counter to buy sandwiches and milk for three people, and then left the hotel cafeteria with Bai Muqing who also finished eating.
Taking the elevator back to the sixth floor, when they came to the door of Bai Muqing's room, Bai Muqing suddenly asked, "Would you... want to come in?"
Turning his head subconsciously, he looked at Bai Muqing, who had twisted eyes. Li Yexing opened his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. After a few seconds, he shook his head, and at the same time lifted the bag in his hand and shook it gently.
Not very good, next time, I have to deliver food to the big, middle and small three cup witches.
"Forget it, let's go back quickly..." There was a faint sourness between Liu's eyebrows, Bai Muqing turned her head, crossed her arms, and said in displeasure: "I wish I had known I would stay in bed too, look at you Do you have the consciousness to bring me breakfast?"
The translation is, you're not going to wake up early tomorrow and ask me to bring you breakfast, are you?
After easily understanding Bai Muqing's subtext, Li Yexing didn't speak, but turned around indifferently. However, before he could take a step, suddenly, Bai Muqing's cell phone rang.
"Hello? Hello, are you..." Subconsciously connected the phone, Bai Muqing greeted habitually, but before she finished speaking, she was slightly startled, and then suddenly lowered her voice and said : "Director Liu?"
"Yes, yes..." Lifting her head and glancing at Li Yexing, Bai Muqing lowered her voice and said, "He's here."
"Yeah, yesterday... I know, that's... wait, now?"
"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."
Quickly hung up the phone, Bai Muqing raised his head, and said to Li Yexing in a deep voice: "Now you have to come into my room whether you want it or not, hurry up, send your things back, and then come to me, Director Zhang has something to say to you." you say."
Zhang Bureau?Zhang Chengzhong?
The unsmiling old face instantly appeared in his head. Li Yexing didn't speak, but quickly returned to his room. After entering the room, he saw that the big, medium and small three-cup witches were still bedridden, so he casually brought back the breakfast Put it on the bedside table, then turned around and went straight to Bai Muqing's room.
Bai Muqing's room was unlocked, so Li Yexing pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Bai Muqing sitting by the bed and fiddling with his pad, he closed the door behind his back and sat beside Bai Muqing.
"Wait a minute..." Seeing Li Yexing approaching, Bai Muqing frowned slightly and said, "The encryption system seems to be still being debugged, so we need to wait."
He said he needed to wait, but in fact he didn't wait long. About ten seconds later, a picture suddenly appeared on Bai Muqing's Pad. In the center of the dimly lit background, a man with neat gray hair was straightening his expressionless face. Shen Sheng asked: "Can you hear it? How is the picture quality? Is there any delay?"
"I can hear you, the picture is clear, without delay..." After quickly answering Zhang Chengzhong's question, Bai Muqing said with a serious expression, "Where are you?"
"No problem, Comrade Bai Muqing..." Except for the lips, there was no unnecessary movement on the entire face, which made Zhang Chengzhong look like a robot. After confirming that the communication was good, he asked in a deep voice, "Where's Li Yexing?"
"It's next to me." After answering Zhang Chengzhong's question, Bai Muqing directly turned the screen of the Pad in his hand to Li Yexing.
"Can you hear me?" After a while, Zhang Chengzhong asked in a deep voice, as if Li Yexing didn't respond.
On the other side, Li Yexing didn't speak, but nodded silently.
"Very good..." No nonsense, straight to the point, facing Li Yexing's gaze, Zhang Chengzhong on the screen asked in a deep voice: "What did you find?"
Chapter-96. Procedural Justice
It was just after eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chengzhong initiated a communication from the domestic direction. Obviously, he came here due to jet lag, and he was very concerned about the progress of Li Yexing's investigation. On the basis of ensuring Li Yexing's rest time , he didn't want to wait for a moment.
For Yin Yang Liao and even the investigation team, Li Yexing naturally couldn't tell the whole story about many things. After all, it involved confidential information within the department, but for an old fox of Zhang Chengzhong's level, Li Yexing didn't have to consider the issue of confidentiality, even though he was not Li Yexing's direct superior. , but Zhang Chengzhong is directly responsible to Li Yexing, that is to say, as long as Zhang Chengzhong is willing, he can check every report related to Li Yexing.
The words are concise and the speech is extremely fast. Except for the smuggling of firearms, Li Yexing informed Zhang Chengzhong of every step of his actions related to the investigation of the case after he landed in Tokyo, and explained the details of the actions and his own experience as carefully as possible. The investigation thought, until he was fished out of the Yinyang room last night, was completely over. As the voice fell, there was no sound in the room for a while, and on the other side of the screen, Zhang Chengzhong said nothing, but his eyes were dark. Somewhat scary.
"Very good. The progress of your work has exceeded my expectations. The enemy's reaction is the best proof of your effectiveness..." He said it was unexpected, but he didn't look surprised. Zhang Chengzhong was not salty at first. He praised Li Yexing lightly, and then asked in a deep voice, "Did you and Dr. Tianwenquan from Yinyangliao achieve these developments together?"
Hearing Zhang Chengzhong's question, Li Yexing nodded slightly.
"Old Wu helped you get her handle, so that you can properly ask her to provide you with convenience within your ability, but in fact, you have no use for this handle at all..." Frowning slightly, Zhang Chengzhong said in a deep voice Asked: "I don't understand, what position does she have to help you?"
Zhang Chengzhong's question was not tricky, it completely exceeded Li Yexing's expectations. Li Yexing pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said to Zhang Chengzhong in a deep voice, "Personal experience."
"Really..." Mingming was very concerned about this question, but after getting Li Yexing's answer, he stopped looking into it. Zhang Chengzhong looked away and murmured softly, "It's a little tricky..."
As he said that, Zhang Chengzhong on the screen looked at Li Yexing again. Meeting Li Yexing's gaze, he asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any ideas for the next step of the work?"
"Yes..." After a slight pause, there was a rare hesitation in Li Yexing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "But it's not appropriate."
"Even you don't think it's suitable, so it's really not suitable." Zhang Chengzhong didn't ask Li Yexing what he thought, but Zhang Chengzhong smiled, the corners of his mouth were so stiff that he could stop a child from crying at night.
"Are you still investigating this case?" Li Yexing asked suddenly after a few seconds.
"Why do you ask that?" Unexpectedly, Li Yexing would take the initiative to ask a question, Zhang Chengzhong raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously interested.
"The cause of the case is the disappearance of the child of the Yue family..." After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Yexing said in a low voice: "Now that the person has been found and he is intact, the risk is very high if we continue to investigate. If you are willing to stop, no matter the opponent is Anyone would be happy to introduce a bad luck guy for us so that we can close the case and give the Yue family an explanation, if we continue to go deeper, the gain may outweigh the loss."
"The gains outweigh the losses?" Seemingly thinking that the words Li Yexing proposed were quite interesting, Zhang Chengzhong asked with a cold smile: "What is gain? What is loss?"
