Other than the adults in the house, this was the first time someone gently stroked his head, and it was a man he had only known for two days.
The rough hand brushed through his soft hair, causing his heart to tremble and beat wildly. The feeling of being protected under a warm protection made him not want to avoid it. He froze, his eyes filled with light, looking into his eyes without moving away.
Xie Ying in front of the two people was so angry that he trembled, he lowered his head without saying a word. Taking a deep breath and sighing, he turned around, tossing his messy hair because he was about to explode. His face was gloomy, he frowned then suddenly became happy and turned around: "Alright, then the three of us together, what do you think? Uncle Liu Yu?".
He changed his tone and addressed him respectfully, the rude appearance when he met him was gone, replaced by the appearance of a well-behaved and polite young man.
Liu Yu didn't show any emotion, kept his face cold, his hand left his head, took out a pack of cigarettes and gave it to him: "If you're with me, you have to know how to smoke, I saw that you weren't full just now, smoking a cigarette can relieve your hunger".
He wanted him to show his fox tail in front of Xie Cheng. Once he smoked this cigarette, his 'soul' would automatically leave the body of the 'original Xie Ying' and change his face instantly. He gritted his teeth, tried to calmly accept the pack of cigarettes: "I've never smoked before, I don't know if I should try smoking or not".
Blatantly lying, it's not like he didn't smoke.
Liu Yu slightly curved his lips and smiled faintly but didn't expose him.
Xie Ying had opened the pack of cigarettes, hesitantly staring at each cigarette. Sweating coldly, about to take out a cigarette, Xie Cheng snatched the pack back, he said: "Xiao Ying is still young and can't smoke, so I'll accompany you with a cigarette".
What a savior!
He took out a cigarette and lit it, then took a drag, the smoke curled around: "I haven't smoked a single cigarette since I came here, now I feel a little craving."
Liu Yu was surprised, thinking that the little sheep he had targeted didn't know how to touch stimulants: "I didn't expect you to smoke too."
"Hehe, every time I'm stressed, I smoke to relieve stress." Xie Cheng smiled and returned the pack of cigarettes to him.
"Brother, don't smoke anymore, it's bad for your health." Xie Ying beside him suddenly became a little rabbit as if being bullied by a big wolf, acting spoiled and shaking his hand.
The plan to expose Xie Ying had failed, he turned around and turned on the light to collect clues. After smoking another cigarette, he put out the fire, there was nothing in the kitchen, the three of them went out.
The living room was spacious, dimly in the flashlight's light, a few sparkling objects could be seen. Coming closer, he saw that the sofa frames and the edges of the tea table were made of pure gold. The owner of this place must be a rich man who spends money lavishly. He is a rich man and will not waste money like that.
Liu Yu touched the sofa frame, closed his eyes, and when no one noticed, a faint golden smoke spread out from his hand and entered the golden frame. Then he withdrew it, and the golden smoke disappeared. He said, "The owner of the house and the hotel owner are the same person."
"The same person..." Suddenly, he remembered something, and took out a notebook to sort through the papers on the table. He was surprised, "So Qing Fei Hui is the owner of this villa."
Xie Ying read through the papers he left on the table, and picked up one: "Qing Fei Hui held a funeral for his wife in a villa a forest away from Qing Fei Hotel, and was talking about this villa? Oh, I thought it was unrelated, but I didn't expect to have more clues for the mission."
He asked him: "How do you know it's the same person?".
Liu Yu coldly replied: "Experience".
Always using the two words experience as a shield, the suspicion was not due to his decades of experience that made him always want him to show that deceitful appearance right away. He affirmed in his heart, he was definitely not human.
Xie Ying pretended to be friendly and nodded: "Oh, if so, when I follow you in the future, can you show me some survival experiences in this curse?".
His hypocrisy was written big on his head, he immediately realized it but only Xie Cheng didn't know and just thought his younger brother was having a fit. He originally didn't like exposing someone right away but let them expose themselves.
"Okay". He replied immediately.
Unexpectedly, he immediately agreed without any beating around the bush, this didn't mean he would soften his heart and really guide him. Xie Ying knew his nature the moment they met, he didn't like to show much, he kept it hidden and waited for the moment to explode.
The two guessed each other's harsh words through their eyes, creating a silent confrontation between the yellow of lightning and the red of fire.
Xie Cheng tried to sit down on the sofa, the soft and comfortable cushion felt like it wanted to pull him into the chair, making him not want to stand up. He guessed that this sofa, if not counting the pure gold border, would probably cost several hundred thousand B.
While secretly evaluating, he suddenly noticed something sticking out from under the table, he picked it up.
It was a book.
The cover was a deep blue, with a pattern of lines drawn on it that resembled a sheep's head. Xie Cheng squinted, he was wrong, this was a goat's head because sheep didn't have such long horns.
Flipping to the first page, there were only a few lines of introduction, but these lines...
"Be-e?".
Is that the sound of a goat? Is this a book that teaches goat language? Are you kidding?
He was curious about what the next pages would be like.
"Be-e again?".
A whole page of paper with long content but only one word 'Be-e' repeated until the end of the page.
Realizing that he was so free and had time to read a book, and it was a nonsense book at that. He was about to throw it away when Liu Yu caught his hand, a piece of paper fell from the book and fell at his feet.
He sat down beside him, picked up the paper, and placed it on the table: "Don't throw it around, maybe this book will be a clue."
He opened the book, flipped through the entire book from the beginning to the end, as if he didn't read it, he curled his lips: "Not bad."
He was confused: "You can read it?".
He put the book in the storage card and put it in his pocket: "Can't read it."
This person was extremely strange, wasn't the sentence 'not bad' uttered as an evaluation? But when asked, he said he couldn't read it, he was definitely hiding something!
Xie Cheng couldn't tell him this, he just smiled and considered it over.
Picked up the paper, and read it under the flashlight. The first page didn't have a date, the handwriting wasn't very nice, all crooked and crooked. Content inside:
"Qing Fei Hui finally died! He deserved it! That despicable bastard got his retribution, haha! I told you, if I couldn't repay this grudge yesterday, I'll repay it today! But... I don't know why I feel a little regretful... I've lived for more than twenty years and I've never had a single day of peace and happiness, but I've never regretted anything because of my miserable life. Could it be...".
That ended, a few dried blood stains had smeared the words, making it impossible to read the rest of the content.
"Qing Fei Hui is dead? Who killed him?". Xie Cheng frowned.
"The person who wrote this note was Xing Xing, the murderer was also him." Xie Ying stood behind him.
He was indeed Xie Cheng's quick-witted younger brother. Hearing him read, he immediately recognized him.
He asked: "What was the reason he killed Qing Fei Hui? Could it be...".
Was about to say something he couldn't have expected but was confused by a vague clue, unable to make a random judgment.
Xie Ying coldly, without any emotion decisively said: "Perhaps Xing Xing is Qing Fei Hui's older brother, because Qing Fei Hui followed his wife's orders and tried to kill him but was resisted and killed by him."
Surprisingly, that was also what Xie Cheng had thought of but didn't dare to verify.
Liu Yu smiled faintly: "Did you use some kind of magic to look deep into the past?".
This sentence should be about him, just now he used some kind of magical magic to guess the owner of the house through the objects. I thought he didn't know or something, if he said that hypothetically, it meant he and he were no different.
As if he didn't pay attention to his question, he sat down next to him. So the sheep Xie Cheng sat right between the big wolf Liu Yu and the big tiger Xie Ying. He moved closer to him: "Let me borrow your notebook."
He handed him the notebook, Xie Ying took it and immediately put a few pieces of paper in the middle of the notebook on the table, then took out the paper from earlier to compare and see if there was any connection.
Looking at a piece of paper, he started to speak without hesitation: "The crooked and ugly handwriting on this piece of paper is Xing Xing's, the content in the notebook said that although this Xing Xing had a handwriting practice, he didn't go to school properly and only went through Qin Er, a shallow servant who didn't have much knowledge so he couldn't teach Xing Xing to write beautifully".
He actually said that Manager Qin was shallow, after all, he had passed away, what he said sounded heavy and impolite. Outsiders would judge him as uneducated, saying that he was an older brother but didn't know how to teach his younger brother.
Forget it, when he gets rid of the curse, he will definitely teach this cheeky younger brother a lesson.
"So, Uncle Wu". Smiling, he continued: "I don't use magic or any kind of magic like you."
He deliberately emphasized the sentence so that he wouldn't have time to change his mind. Liu Yu calmly showed no emotion, didn't reply, and picked up the papers to read.
Xie Ying couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. He played him, so he played back.
"Alright, now let's see if there's anything else in the villa." Liu Yu briefly read the papers, put them down, and stood up.
He put them away, then folded the notebook and stuffed it back into his pocket.
Click!
Suddenly the lights in the house were bright, the three of them were dazzled and couldn't get used to the light. Xie Cheng stood up, opened his eyes, and suddenly noticed a figure on the stairs in the middle of the living room. Half of the stairs were covered by the darkness above, revealing only the lower body and two pairs of legs.
He was startled and his hair stood on end, although he couldn't see the face, he felt like the person on the stairs was fiercely staring at him.
"Who is it?". Standing up, Xie Ying frowned, a red light flashed in his eyes.
That person walked down slowly and leisurely, not in a hurry or hurry. Under the light in the middle of the living room, a middle-aged man wearing a black shirt and white trousers, his voice polite and hoarse: "Is that you?".
Xie Cheng couldn't believe his eyes, and exclaimed: "Qin Er?!".
Xie Ying clenched his baseball bat, walked in front of Qin Er, and looked down at him. He said coldly: "Xie Cheng Cheng, didn't you say his body was in the chest? And now he appears intact here?".
Avoiding Qin Er's gaze, Xie Cheng was afraid and stuttered: "You... He... You don't know either!".
Qin Er's face was kind and gentle, it didn't look dangerous, he stopped looking at him and smiled and said: "Haha, you guys really like to play jokes, I'm still alive, if you say that I'll be very sad haha".
"How did you experience our hotel service? Remember to leave a five-star review for the quality".
The experience was like eating a pile of cow dung, what kind of hotel is full of terrifying and strange ghosts. I swear that after escaping the curse, I will definitely not give you any stars. Too terrifying.
Xie Ying glared at Qin Er.
Xie Cheng was sure that it was not Qin Er's corpse that he found in the chest in that room. The person standing here, he was sure that it was not Qin Er.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, he forced a smile with a calm expression: "Good, very good, very good".
Qin Er still kept the same expression: "Oh, is that so, we are very honored to receive your kind comments".
Saying that, he turned around and walked away, taking two steps before stopping. A few drops of blood dripped onto the floor, then gushed down beside his feet.
Xie Cheng and Xie Ying: "?!".
Liu Yu appeared as fast as lightning and punched Qin Er in the chest.
