"Is it true that I can't escape after all..." Jianqiu stood up and blocked Huachu behind him with a determined look, "How did you find this place?"
Ye Lan has a great advantage, which is that she never talks too much to her target during the capture process, and saves whatever she has to say for the interrogation.
"Hmph..." Ye Lan snorted lightly, and then a silk thread made of water elements quickly shot out and tied up the two people who were still standing there tightly.
"Okay, both of you, just come back with me obediently. I'm not interested in listening to your stories." Ye Lan held the water element thread in her hand and exerted a little force, and the two people were forced to come and were dragged in front of them.
"It's better not to struggle, otherwise your clothes will be torn and your skin will be injured. The people above will think I'm abusing criminals." Ye Lan kindly reminded.
Although she did similar things many times during interrogations, the people above her probably got used to it.
"Damn it, you..."
"Jianqiu, stop talking."
The man gritted his teeth and seemed to want to say something else, but was quickly interrupted by Hua Chu.
When they did this, they had considered the possibility of it being exposed. Hua Chu didn't find it hard to accept, but she was a little embarrassed that it would happen so soon.
"But how are we going to get back?" Xing glanced at the two men and then asked Ye Lan.
She was actually quite curious about the story between these two people, especially why the person who died in place of the deceased did not linger on the border.
But since we don’t plan to interrogate him here, let’s go back and talk about it later. It’s really getting late.
The only problem was that this place was located underground in Wuwangpo. It wouldn't be difficult for the two of them to go up there, but it would be a different matter if they were carrying two prisoners who could escape at any time.
"Others will be here soon, don't worry."
Ye Lan has something on her that can help her contact the Qianyan Army. As long as everyone is present, it won't be difficult to get these two people up there.
------------------------------After a while-------------------------------------
"Wow, they're hiding down here?" Hu Tao looked down in surprise, then turned her attention to the two people and Xing.
"So, the things in that secret realm are gone too?"
She was very familiar with Wuwangpo and naturally knew that there was a hidden world underground, but she had never been down there once, and generally speaking, no one could discover the secret underneath, so she didn't even think about it when she was searching.
I didn't expect that these two people actually hid under here.
"It seems to be gone." Xing nodded. Anyway, she didn't see any treasure chest just now. Maybe the original treasure chest here had been disposed of by those two people to purchase supplies.
"What a pity... But now I'm afraid they will be charged with an even more serious crime." Hu Tao sighed helplessly and said.
"An aggravated crime?" Xing was slightly stunned. "Does it mean that taking things from these secret realms is against the law?"
If this is the case, then the treasures that adventurers usually obtain in various expeditions are all illegally obtained.
"Normally it doesn't matter, but it's different here. After all, it's so close to the border and involves a lot of things..." Walnut didn't finish her words, but just shrugged her shoulders.
"But no matter what, they were finally arrested." Ying added, then glanced at Ye Lan in the distance with a strange smile on her face.
"Well, how are you getting along with her?" She moved closer to Xing and spoke in a low voice.
Xing's expression suddenly froze. It was obvious that Ying's question was not as simple as it seemed.
But there was no need for her to lie, as she and Ye Lan did have some intimate contact.
To be honest, if the environment at the time had not allowed it, she felt that she and Ye Lan might have taken a step further.
It really is not okay to stick so close to me...
"I guess so. It's okay." Xing touched his head and turned it to the other side.
"Really?! That's great, come on, Xing!" Ying was visibly happy. Ye Lan was obviously a big shot and his identity was definitely not simple. If Xing could take him down directly, he wouldn't have to worry too much about the future.
"What...come on?" Hu Tao looked at the two of them with some confusion, not being able to understand what they were talking about for a moment.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'll go find Paimeng first. I'll treat you guys to dinner tonight." Ying smiled and waved her hand, then turned and walked towards Paimeng.
"?" Hu Tao watched Ying leave with a question mark on his face, and then looked at Xing.
"Um...it's really nothing, nothing." Xing smiled awkwardly and looked at Hu Tao with some embarrassment.
She was too embarrassed to tell Hu Tao that Ying asked her to use beauty to seduce the higher-ups in Liyue.
Chapter 36 Ye Lan's Invitation
In Liyue Harbor, the news of Duke De'an's murder has spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Although Liyue Harbor is not small, news spreads very quickly. Even though Lord De'an is a little down and out now, he was once a business tycoon, and everyone is happy to watch the goings-on in his family.
In particular, the farce in which the daughter of a wealthy family found someone to die in her place in order to elope with a poor scholar has been the most talked-about topic throughout the ages.
However, what these people can talk about are only some information that has been released on the surface. Some specific details cannot be known at all before the official announcement.
Of course, as auxiliary investigators, Xing and her colleagues can get information earlier than ordinary people.
"Ah?! The person who died in the place of death was Hua Chu's sister?" Xing opened her eyes wide. She never expected the truth to be like this.
They were currently having dinner at Wanmin Hall, and they chatted about the investigation into the Hua Chu case.
"Yes, that person is the illegitimate daughter of Lord De'an, and is indeed Hua Chu's half-sister." Ying nodded and sighed with emotion.
"That illegitimate daughter seems to have never had a good life. She had thoughts of committing suicide a long time ago. I don't know how Hua Chu found her and convinced her..." Paimeng spread her hands. This was the first time she had seen such a farce. For a moment, she didn't know how to comment on it.
"Is there no more news?" Xing looked curiously at Ying who was sitting opposite him.
"That's all." Ying shook her head helplessly. After all, although she was assisting in the investigation of this matter, what happened after the investigation was over and the criminal was arrested had nothing to do with her. That was the business of the General Affairs Department.
But no matter what, for Lord De'an, once this matter was made public, it would be a huge scandal.
Although Duke De'an is no longer in his heyday, he is still a wealthy family and owns a business.
After this incident, I’m afraid even that only business might be lost.
"If that person had already made up his mind to die and was willing to die for him, then it is possible that he would not linger on the border..." Hu Tao supported his head and said slowly, "I just don't know how they will judge him."
After all, if you really want to investigate, Hua Chu didn't kill anyone. She just made a person who wanted to commit suicide change into her clothes...
This kind of thing has never happened before in Liyue Harbor. I guess those who are solving the case will have a headache for a while, and they may even have to ask Yan Fei for help.
"The dishes are here~" Xiangling's energetic voice interrupted their conversation. Soon, several large plates of dishes were brought over by Xiangling and placed on their table.
"Wow Xiangling, are you trying to fill us to death by cooking so many dishes?" Hu Tao couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, if you can't finish it, just pack it up and take it away. You've been running back and forth for so long, so treat yourself with a good meal." Xiangling said with a smile.
"Don't worry, with Paimon here, we shouldn't have to pack up." Ying shook her head.
"Hey!" Paimon stomped his feet in dissatisfaction. Although what he said was the truth, there was no need to be so blunt.
"You guys eat first, I still have something to do." Xiangling smiled, then glanced at Xing and said to them.
Wanmin Hall is very busy, and her father cannot handle it alone during this period.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Thank you, Xiangling." Xing also smiled at Xiangling, making her face blush.
"No, you're welcome..." Xiangling said softly, then lowered her head and turned away.
After watching Xiangling return to the kitchen, Xing turned his head again.
Then he saw a strange smile on Ying's face, and her eyes were staring at him without blinking.
"This, all the dishes are here, why aren't you eating? Why are you looking at me..." Xing asked guiltily.
"Hey, Xing, after you came back, did Miss Ye Lan contact you?" Ying asked curiously.
Something definitely happened that day. Based on Ying's understanding of Xing, if Ye Lan had any deeper communication with Xing, she would not be able to bear the days without Xing.
"...Yes." Xing nodded helplessly. The fact was just as Ying thought. Ye Lan specifically asked someone to give Xing a message last night.
"She asked me to meet her tonight to thank me for my help in this matter."
"Why do I feel like this is just an excuse?" Walnut couldn't help but complain.
If we want to express our gratitude, why do we only thank Xing, while the others have no credit at all?
"Okay, okay, you can go without worry tonight!" Ying nodded with satisfaction.
Excuse, this is of course an excuse. Ying is just afraid that Ye Lan won’t make an excuse.
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the evening, Yanshang Teahouse.
As this is a dark casino, it is naturally brightly lit at this time of night.
There were two strong men guarding the door. Xing and Hu Tao had seen these two men before when they passed by here, but seeing how ferocious they looked at that time, Xing just glanced at them from a distance.
"You must be Miss Xing, our master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xing had just arrived at the door of Yanshang Tea House and stood for a moment when one of the sturdy men walked over quickly and spoke to Xing respectfully.
"Your master...Ye Lan?" Xing asked in surprise.
She was still wondering why Ye Lan chose to meet her in such a place, which made her, who had never been to a casino, feel nervous.
"Yes, please follow me."
"Yeah." Xing nodded.
As the sturdy man pushed the door open, Xing also walked into this mysterious Yanshang Teahouse.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of tobacco and sweat, mixed with the fermentation smell of alcohol, which made Xing frown.
It is called a tea house but it is actually a casino. Naturally, the environment of a casino cannot be good. Xing is very clear about this.
But the feeling of having this low-quality tobacco filling the entire room is still a bit too bad.
"Sorry, please go to the private room on the second floor. The environment there will be much better. My host is waiting for you there." The burly man brought Xing to the stairs, but he himself did not seem to have any intention of going up.
"Okay." Xing couldn't stand it anymore and went upstairs immediately.
The burly man watched Xing's back disappear on the stairs. He did not leave, but stood guard at the stairs.
Ye Lan ordered him to stay here, and if they didn't come down, no one could go up to the second floor.
Naturally, he had to faithfully carry out Ye Lan's orders and stay here tonight, and no one could go up.
Chapter 37 Playing exciting games with Ye Lan
"You're here." Ye Lan saw Xing and a smile appeared on her face.
"Yeah, here I come..." Xing nodded and looked around the room.
The environment on the second floor of Yanshang Tea House is much better than that on the first floor. It is quiet, without any strange smells, and it is easy to relax.
Xing slowly walked in front of Ye Lan and sat down.
The layout of this room is different from some of the teahouses Xing had seen in Liyue before, perhaps because this is where Ye Lan usually lives?
Looking at the expensive-looking large bed at the back, Xing already had a rough idea of how the night would develop.
"Can you drink?" Ye Lan supported her head with one hand and picked up a small bottle of wine on the table with the other hand and shook it gently.
"Isn't this a tea room?" Xing swallowed and then asked slowly.
"Does it look like a teahouse down there?" Ye Lan smiled softly and asked back.
"No...I don't really like the look down there either." Xing pursed her lips and shook her head.
The environment below is so terrible. It is hard to imagine that Liyue would allow such a place to appear, and it is even harder to imagine that Ye Lan is the owner of such a place.
"After all, I have just taken over this stall from the Fatui. It will take some time to make thorough changes." Ye Lan sighed slightly and said helplessly.
In fact, the Yanshang Tea House is now much better than before. Putting aside the management level of the Fatui, that group of people will not abide by the rules of Liyue when they open a casino.
Even when she first took over, she found several bodies in the Yanshang Tea House.
Although it is still a casino... at least there won't be any broken arms and legs.
"So, Ye Lan, what exactly are you..." Xing opened her mouth, but then she thought that Ye Lan might not tell her the truth, so she stopped asking the question.
"Why did you call me here?"
"Thank you for your help." Ye Lan said as a matter of course, but her eyes were a little dazed when she looked at Xing.
Of course Xing wouldn't believe this. She probably kept thanking him and ended up thanking him on the big bed at the back.
Ye Lan also knew that Xing might not believe this reason, so she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and changed her words.
"Of course, I have some other ideas besides this. I want to invite you to play a game."
