Chapter 40 A New Case
After thinking about it, I always feel that the case we brought up is vaguely related to the Tang family and the Octopus mirror back then.

Although I was thinking about these things in my heart, I didn't stay in a daze. I supported Mai Xiaorou and walked out of the community quickly. At the same time, I looked around, and I also wanted to find out where the person who watched us was.

It's just that with my current strength, I can't even detect the master Mai Xiaorou mentioned.

When I got to the gate, there was no taxi coming, so I had to support Mai Xiaorou to walk while waiting for the car to come. I didn't dare to stop where I was, I was afraid that Mai Xiaorou's identity would be exposed.

If her identity is exposed, if there are really experts who want to deal with her, I can't stop it with my ability. Grandpa Mai is approaching his lifespan, so I can't let Mai Xiaorou have trouble with her.

As I was walking, I asked Mai Xiaorou how her injuries were. She shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's go quickly. That expert is not far behind. It seems that he is waiting for an opportunity to attack us."

I didn't dare to be negligent, as I was walking, I looked back at the same time, this time I really saw a person, an old man in a Taoist robe, with a yellow cloth bag slung across his waist, staring straight at our side look.

I asked Mai Xiaorou if he was the Taoist priest, and Mai Xiaorou said: "Yes, let's not stay here any longer, try to find a car to get rid of him as soon as possible, we'd better not stay in the provincial capital, try to avoid him, now I was injured a little bit, and I am definitely not an opponent when I meet him."

We walked a few hundred meters, but there was still no taxi.

At this moment, a red car drove up behind us, and a familiar voice came: "Are you in a hurry, I can give you a ride."

This person is Ning Xi.

Mai Xiaorou glanced at Ning Xi, then at the Taoist priest behind him, and said, "Chen Yu, help me into the car."

Compared with Ning Xi, Mai Xiaorou is still more afraid of the Taoist priest behind her. Although Ning Xi approached us with a purpose, she never showed the slightest hostility towards us.

We got into Ning Xi's car, and I turned to look at the Taoist priest. He was still standing not far behind, his expression became a little dignified, and he was a little bit unwilling.

Ning Xi honked the horn a few times provocatively, then sped away.

After walking for a certain distance, I asked Mai Xiaorou how she was doing now, and Mai Xiaorou said: "It was a bit exhausted just now, but it didn't hurt at all. It won't be a problem after you rest."

Ning Xi smiled and said: "Did that old Taoist priest have any grudges against you just now? He seems to have murderous intentions, why did you offend him?"

I said, we don't know him at all, that Taoist priest might be a lunatic.

Ning Xi continued to smile and said, "It's rare to see such a powerful lunatic, but then again, do I count as saving you today?"

Mai Xiaorou was already a little tired, she didn't speak, just leaned on my shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

I hesitated and said, "We owe you a favor."

Ning Xi laughed "haha" this time and said, "Then you can tell me what I want to find out."

I shook my head and said, this won't work.

Ning Xi thought for a while and said: "If I remember correctly, in the Sanshengdao case, the soul of that Qu Miaomiao is still with you, how about you give her to me?"

Qu Miaomiao was at the scene at the time, maybe she also saw the incident of my Snake King Zhui showing off his power. I handed Qu Miaomiao to Ning Xi. The Tang family, our relationship with the Tang family is becoming more and more tense. Qu Miaomiao may be useful in the future if he stays with us.

So I still shook my head and said, "Qu Miaomiao, I can't give it to you either."

Ning Xi didn't bother, and smiled and said: "You are really stingy, you don't give this, you don't give that, so, in order to repay my kindness, treat me to a meal."

You can repay the favor after a meal, so I naturally agreed directly.

Ning Xi said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Just today, I'll find a place, or you?"

At this moment, Mai Xiaorou suddenly said: "I can't do it today, I'm too tired, let's go another day, give us your mobile phone, and call when we make an appointment."

Ning Xi let out an "Oh", and then said disappointedly: "That's a pity, since you're inconvenient today, then forget it, okay, tell me now, where are you going?"

Mai Xiaorou directly told Ning Xi the address of the wreath shop in the small county town.

After hearing this address, Ning Xi asked curiously, "Where are you going and what are you doing?"

Mai Xiaorou didn't say anything, so I added: "Go and submit the case."

Speaking of this case, we solved it on the same day, which is considered fast, but I thought again, it seems that an old Taoist priest was involved behind this case. If we don’t find out about the old Taoist priest, will the case be considered complete? ?

Thinking of this, I asked Mai Xiaorou in a low voice, and she also whispered into my ear with a very soft voice: "It's over, we are only responsible for solving the troubles of the Yang family. As for who is involved behind this case, It has nothing to do with us, if we want to continue the investigation, it will be the second case."

Having said that, Mai Xiaorou didn't speak, and continued to rest on my shoulder.

Ning Xi and I didn't have much to say, we talked casually for a while, and then each of us began to keep silent.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the entrance of the wreath shop in the county seat. I called Li Guidao before we came, so the door was left open for us.

This is a small county town. The shops on this street are basically closed at this point, and only the lights of the wreath shop are still on. At first glance, it looks a little weird, even a little scary.

Pushing the door open, Li Guidao was sorting out some goods. When he saw us coming, he said, "I didn't expect you to handle the case so quickly. In just one day, you solved the first case. It's better than mine at that time." It's much better, I remember that when I filed my first case, it took me ten days, and I barely finished it in the end."

I said, "Then your case must be many times more difficult than mine."

Li Guidao said: "That's true, but then again, your current strength is not enough to handle a case like mine."

I asked Li Guidao what our next case would be.

As he packed his things, he said, "No rush."

When Ning Xi and Li Guidao met, they looked at each other more, but they didn't communicate too much. Judging from their eyes, they didn't seem to know each other.

Ning Xi looked at the wreath shop a few times, then looked up at the upstairs, and suddenly bowed respectfully to the upstairs. I knew that Ning Xi was saluting to Li Guidao's aunt.

Li Guidao smiled and said: "You know the rules very well, my aunt likes obedient juniors like you."

Ning Xi introduced himself to Li Guidao, and then said, "Dare to ask your friend's name."

Li Guidao said: "I, Li Guidao, I don't know if fellow Taoists have heard of it?"

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are Li Guidao? I've heard of it, it's like thunder, how could I not know that he is the head of the top ten youths in the spirit world."

Li Guidao asked Ning Xi where he learned from.

Ning Xi leaned close to Li Guidao's ear and whispered a few words.

After listening to Ning Xi, Li Guidao said two words: "I'm sorry!"

Ning Xi hurriedly replied, "Brother Li Dao, you are welcome!"

After Ning Xi knew Li Guidao's name, he immediately changed his fellow daoist to brother daoist.

After that, Ning Xi didn't ask any more questions, so he stood aside and didn't speak. This Ning Xi looked arrogant and domineering, and he didn't take Zhang Rui seriously. I thought she and Li Guidao might have similar status in the spirit world. But I didn't expect that she was still far behind Li Guidao.

This made me even more curious about Li Guidao's identity.

After talking with Ning Xi, Li Guidao said to us: "Would you like to arrange a place for you to stay in the wreath shop? You can rest here for a few days, and help me take care of the business of the wreath shop by the way. When there is a case I'll let you know again."

"Forget it!"

"Okay!"

We and Ning Xi spoke at almost the same time, Mai Xiaorou and I chose to refuse, but Ning Xi chose to agree.

This wreath shop is too weird, especially with Li Guidao's powerful aunt on the second floor, I always feel that it's not safe to live here, and Mai Xiaorou probably thinks so too.

But Ning Xi really wanted to live here, judging from her expression, it seemed like it was a great honor to live here.

Li Guidao smiled and said: "In this case, Fellow Daoist Ning stays here, you two should find a place to live, turn right when you go out, there is a small hotel not far away, there should be rooms, it is also close to my place, you can There is a follow-up."

Mai Xiaorou and I nodded and left.

Ning Xi stayed in the wreath shop with an excited expression on his face, I suddenly wondered if Ning Xi had committed a nympho, did he have a crush on Li Guidao?

But looking at her appearance, it doesn't seem to be the same.

We found a small hotel not far away to stay. Because Mai Xiaorou was injured, we only had one room, so it was convenient for me to take care of her at night.

This night, Mai Xiaorou and I both slept well, and she didn't tease me because of her injury.

During the night, Mai Xiaorou also rested, but of course the injury was not healed, and the next morning she started blowing wind in my ears, which made me feel a little itchy.

At this moment, my mobile phone rang, and it was Li Guidao who called. He said directly on the phone: "Yesterday, I told Master that you have completed that case. Make it more difficult, the case for you this time is - die with peace!"

Die with peace! ?
What kind of case is this again! ?
