"You really have confidence in me. Does that mean they are no match for me?"
Chen Huijie handed the phone back and said with a smile:
"But you can have more confidence in me. Your grandfather's guards and bodyguards are more or less incapable of catching me. Okay, don't worry about this matter. Let's talk about something else. Regarding this morning, there are some things I need you to check. I don't think it's right."
No, you really have your mind full of serious matters...
Shi Huaiya couldn't help but complain in her heart, then she fell silent, gave up the struggle in her heart, and listened to Chen Huijie's words honestly.
At the same time, Chen Huijie, who had just finished dealing with the fire, looked at Texas who was blocking his way and said with a slightly frown:
"I'm not responsible for car accident fines here. Do you have anything else to do?"
Chapter 095: German Dog: Angel of Energy asks you to stay away from me.
"Exia and Croissant paid the fines and other things. The formalities should be completed by now."
Texas, holding Pocky in her mouth, looked at Chen Huijie in front of her and answered expressionlessly, but she still had no intention of giving way. Moreover, Chen Huijie could feel that this Penguin Logistics employee was constantly looking at her, and the focus seemed to be on her head and the Chi Xiao around her waist.
What is this person going to do? !
Chen Huijie suddenly became nervous. From the cases related to Penguin Logistics, he could clearly feel that Texas should be considered the most capable one in Penguin Logistics. Moreover, this guy's hometown was Syracuse, so his violent nature should not be too bad.
"Officer Chen, can I ask a more private question?"
Texas finished a Pocky and refilled himself with two more, still expressionless as he said:
"That straight knife on your waist, didn't it originally belong to you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Huijie's expression immediately turned cold. Before this, Chi Xiao was indeed not with her, but with Wei Yanwu. Generally, people who knew this should also know the relationship between herself and Wei Yanwu, so... is this person from Penguin Logistics planning to cause trouble?
As for Texas, she really didn't have such thoughts. She just... had dreamed about it too many times. Every time she ate that special chocolate with liqueur, she would always dream about it... It didn't seem appropriate to say that it was a dream, because the picture only flashed by for a moment, but no matter which picture it was, the red straight knife would never be absent.
Therefore, Texas couldn't help but become interested in the knife. No, Texas didn't want to deceive herself. She was interested in the owner of the knife because she once had a flashback of seeing a picture in which she was being carried on the streets of Syracuse by that man. She felt an unspeakable sense of security, and even wanted Texas to let go of all her worries and fall into a deep sleep.
Texas was a very active person. She immediately drew the straight knife as closely as possible and took it to the emperor to ask about it. The emperor looked at her with surprise, saying that the owner of the knife would occasionally lead people to catch illegal traffic at Penguin Logistics. Texas didn't even recognize him?!
Texas thought to herself how could she recognize him? All she saw in her flashbacks was a straight knife drawn from its sheath. Officer Chen Huijie had never drawn a knife in front of her, so how could she recognize him? Besides, she was not familiar with that Xiaolongnu, so why should she care about her affairs?
After getting this answer, Texas ignored the boss who was still talking nonsense and prepared to go and talk to Chen Huijie.
However, just as Texas was about to go out, she met Angel. This angel lady who had just returned from delivering something immediately rushed over excitedly after seeing her and shared with her what she had seen and heard today.
In the story told by Angel, Texas heard a familiar name 'Chen Huijie'. The person who gave him the strange chocolate with liquor filling was certainly not that 'Chen Huijie'. The people from Penguin Logistics were not that familiar with the police officers from the Guard Bureau.
Hearing this name, Texas asked herself, she... did have doubts, that the man in the flashback might be Mr. Chen. Although there were many differences in temperament and body shape, Texas always felt that her intuition was always on him.
Even if Mr. Chen is not the person in the picture, he should be related to the case. I will have to find him sooner or later. After all, this strange chocolate with liquor filling was given to me by him. So after finding Officer Chen, I will go find Mr. Chen.
But before that…
Texas's gaze quietly fell on the happily humming little tune of the Angel. She didn't have any opinions about this good friend. To be honest, she was very happy that she could make a friend like Angel. It's just...
In those flashbacks, Exiah appeared quite a few times, and every time she appeared...
Texas couldn't help but blush. The timing of her appearance was never very...appropriate, just like in the flashback last night, when she was about to grab the man's tie, pull his body down, and kiss him, the Archangel suddenly appeared with an apple pie.
Although Exiah immediately realized that she shouldn't be there and turned around and disappeared immediately, the atmosphere was irreversible...
Although the scene only flashed by, Texas felt the regret in it very clearly. There were more than one sudden accidents like this. If Texas hadn't thought that the Angel would do this deliberately, according to her personality, if she found her sweetheart, she should have sincerely blessed herself and given herself as many assists as possible.
Therefore, for this operation, let the Archangel stay away from me, so that her erratic personality won't cause me any trouble.
Texas looked at the happy back of Angelica and made this decision without mercy. Of course, as I said before, Texas still cared about this friend very much, so asking her to stay away was also a way to protect Angelica.
After all, this incident seems weird no matter how you look at it. It might be some kind of evil spell, or the old things in Syracuse are haunting him. If something really goes wrong, it's better not to involve Archangel.
Well, yes, that's it.
Texas, holding Pocky in his mouth, continued to think like this without mercy.
What happened next was very simple. When he heard that Texas was going out, Archangel naturally wanted to join in the fun, even though Texas was going there under the pretext of paying fees to the Guards Bureau. This was within Texas's expectations.
But what she didn't expect was that at the gate of the Guard Bureau, the two of them met Croissant, another member of Penguin Logistics. She was caught by the Guard Bureau for setting up a stall anywhere and selling three-no products, and was brought here for fine and reflection.
That's really great, no, I mean, it's such a coincidence.
With acquaintances around, Texas didn't need to think of any reasons to let Angelic pay the fee and take action on his own. Texas simply said "I met an acquaintance and went to say hello" and left. With Croissant by his side, Angelic would also be very "honest".
In this way, Texas used some tricks to find Chen Huijie and asked her the question. However, looking at Chen Huijie's red cheeks, Texas blinked in confusion, thought for a moment, and said softly:
"Well, you name a price. I'll lend you this straight knife for a while. I'll return it to you by the evening at the latest."
Chapter 096 Shi Huaiya: Panic!!!
Texas's idea was simple. It was just a straight knife, and she just wanted to borrow it to take a look. She even paid for it. Whether it was money or a favor, she accepted it. She just wanted to take a good look at the knife and see if she could find any clues related to the flashback scene.
Moreover, Texas also knew the relationship between Chen Huijie and Wei Yanwu, and he believed that the tone of his speech had become much softer. In Syracuse, this was considered a friendly gesture.
However, Chen Huijie obviously didn't think so. Even if this Chi Xiao had nothing to do with Wei Yanwu, it was still his sword, his own exclusive weapon. In martial arts novels, such things could not be touched by others. How could they be taken away for viewing at a price!
"Don't you think I can afford the price?"
Texas looked at Chen Huijie's angry expression and said calmly:
"You're thinking too much, so why don't you state a condition first and let me hear it."
"Are you looking for trouble on purpose? *Longmen swears* Come back to the Guards Bureau with me!"
Chen Huijie was not in the mood to discuss cultural differences with the Penguin Logistics employee. Because of the fire incident just now and the fact that she had not been able to wait for someone to speak, this little dragon girl was very angry. If this person continued to pester her, she would definitely take him back to the Guard Bureau.
"..."
Texas looked at Chen Huijie who was holding the knife handle, tilted his head and thought for a while, this... seemed to be okay, anyway he just wanted to see the knife, she pulled it out for him to see, but he had to make things clear first, otherwise, the boss might have to clean up the mess afterwards.
"Let's spar. Coincidentally, I also have two weapons."
Texas calmly took out his weapon, looked at Chen Huijie and said:
"We'll fight quickly, so you don't have to worry about delays."
……
While Texas and Chen Huijie were facing off, in the apartment, Chen Huijie downed the almost-cooled medicine in one gulp, moistened his throat, and looked at Shi Huaiya beside him and said:
"I've already explained the focus and direction of the investigation to you. I don't think it will take up too much time. But no matter what the investigation has led to, you must give me a brief update before 8 p.m. tonight so I can prepare for the next step."
"Okay, I'll take note. Speaking of which..."
Shi Huaiya nodded seriously at first, then held up her face and said with a half-smile:
"I'm not your subordinate, and you're not even a member of the Imperial Guard. I have my own work to do. If you're commanding me like this, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Better you show right now that you'll 'persuade' that pesky Casimir to leave! Immediately! Right now!
"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it."
Chen Huijie could naturally hear Shi Huaiya's voice-over, but it made him feel a little uncomfortable. He had indeed never seen such a "straightforward" side of Shi Huaiya.
But this is nothing surprising. If Chen Huijie had discovered this side of Shi Huaiya in the previous world line, he would definitely think that his brother could be so cool. But now...
I just feel a little regretful. I regret that I have been with Shi Huaiya for more than ten years... Forget it, as the old saying goes, there is no need to think about these things. We can't go back.
So, Chen Huijie thought about it and brought up another matter. He had originally planned to tell Shi Huaiya about this matter, but he originally wanted to take a look at the situation first. Now that it is like this, he might as well tell it first. Also, if he troubles Miss Shi Huaiya here, she should also pay her a reward.
"I recently received information from Kjerag and Xiosta. I'll check back later. If the information is correct, I can get you a few good small projects. You won't lose money, but how much you can get besides the money depends on your ability."
"... Okay, I understand. This... is not urgent. I have plenty of money."
You won't talk about anything other than business!
Although I am indeed moved by what you said...
Shi Huaiya's expression almost changed a little. After spending some time together, she didn't think that the "small projects" Chen Huijie mentioned were literal. Shi Huaiya had begun to worry about whether she could take on these "small projects". If this succeeded, it would definitely be a good thing for her.
However, Shi Huaiya was not happy at all, and she couldn't put it into words. But she began to regret what she had just said. Although those words should not cause Chen Huijie to be unhappy, they should have had some negative effect, a negative effect that Shi Huaiya did not like.
Wait, he can't be reading my mind... reading my thoughts just now, right? This... this is impossible. The way I said that, the expression on my face, no matter how I think about it, can't be associated with 'driving people away'. The way I looked at it, it should have been a teasing temptation. This... he can't understand my thoughts so well...
"Then take action. I'm still waiting for your reply tonight."
At this time, Chen Huijie stood up, looked at Shi Huaiya and said seriously:
"Remember, as long as these incidents involve foreign forces, you must tell me immediately."
"I know, you workaholic."
Shi Huaiya was very flustered at this time, as if someone had exposed his secrets. Without saying anything more, he left in a hurry.
After Shi Huaiya left, Sophia poked her head out of the kitchen, looked at Chen Huijie cautiously, and came to his side with a steaming Casimir pie, saying embarrassedly:
"Um... I'm sorry for causing you trouble just now. Actually, I realized halfway through that I shouldn't have done that, but I just got carried away..."
"But I appreciate you more just now."
Chen Huijie casually picked up a piece of the pie that had been cut, blew it warmly, and said with a smile:
"At least the person standing here just now wasn't a knight from the Ringuang family of Casimir, but a young Miss Kuranta. I think you're more lively that way."
Hearing this, Zofia was taken aback. After being accustomed to people around her praising her maturity and stability, this kind of praise... was really not something she was used to. However, she didn't feel like she hated it...
At the same time, Chen Huijie continued to say with a smile:
"Speaking of which, Miss Zofia, if one day the Margaret sisters find their respective goals and the Linguang family's reputation is protected, have you ever thought about what you would like to do then? Ah, this seems a bit inappropriate to ask. Let's change the subject. Miss Zofia, I have something I'd like to trouble you with."
After finishing the pie, Chen Huijie wiped his hands, took out the [Gloves of Kato X], waved it in front of Zofia, smiled and said softly:
"Could you please cooperate and try out what this prop does?"
Chapter 097: Sofia: It’s okay to touch me…
"This is something I acquired accidentally. We currently know it can amplify certain perceptions or feelings, but we don't yet know the specific effects. I'm curious about this, so I'd like to find someone to collaborate with me on research."
After saying that, Chen Huijie saw Sophia sitting closer to him. Looking at the thin gloves, her eyes sparkled as she said:
"How should I try? Should I use Originium techniques? Originium techniques... I'm not very well-versed in this area, but Margaret is better than me. Should I go up and wake her up? Speaking of which, she's been sleeping for almost twelve hours..."
"No need to call her. She's been wandering in the wild for so long, and she's been overworked from resisting natural disasters. Her sleep time isn't very long. Let her wake up naturally."
Chen Huijie knew just by thinking about it that, judging from Margaret's personality, she probably started her "helping others" journey when she left Casimir. She was probably the type who would fight wherever she went. Even though her racial physique was outstanding in Terra, it could not withstand her efforts.
So Chen Huijie stopped Sophia who was about to make a move and said softly:
"Just put on the gloves and touch your body. This item has nothing to do with your level of Originium skills."
“Is that so…huh?”
Zofia nodded when she heard that, and then suddenly realized what was happening. Her eyes widened slightly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and her tail was like a broom, slowly sweeping back and forth on the sofa. The horse girl grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands, cleared her throat unnaturally, and whispered:
"Um, this... I can cooperate, but you... can't touch me randomly. We need to discuss where to touch..."
"I've always been curious about what image I have in your eyes, or is it that the spirit of your people in Casimir is much more unrestrained than that of Dayan?"
Chen Huijie looked at the shy Zofia and put on gloves. He originally planned to let Zofia touch him with gloves on. After all, his summary would be more direct and clear that way. But since Zofia had said so much, he would seem guilty if he didn't touch her.
"Come on, Miss Zofia, just shake hands."
"..."
Looking at the hand extended towards her, Zofia said nothing, but quickly shook it. How to say it, she seemed to understand Miss Shi Huaiya's feelings now. This man was serious...which made them look a little frivolous. No...but he himself had problems too. If he wanted to shake hands, he could just shake hands, but he had to say that he was touching the body... Ugh! ! ! !
The hot touch of skin against skin was like a small brush, gently stirring Zofia's heartstrings, as if someone was leaning over her ear, gently blowing her hair with hot breath. The feeling was so intimate that Zofia suddenly pulled her hand away, her cheeks flushed.
Chen Huijie waved his hands and said softly:
"Ms. Zofia, could you please share your thoughts?"
“…Give me the gloves!”
