CH 61

The Lin family antique shop is located in the center of the ancient city. The shops are no different from the surrounding shops. They are all antique, with unified signs, black ancient characters, and white background colors. Although they have no characteristics, they look comfortable.

Under the guidance of Jiang Chengyan, Ling Hua’an walked into the antique shop. What caught his eye was a beautiful female ghost with exquisite facial features and a tall figure. She was wearing a white cheongsam embroidered with black bamboo. Her big eyes looked at Ling Hua’an with obvious surprise.

Ling Hua’an smiled at her and said, “Is the boss here?”

The female ghost was obviously taken aback, she seemed surprised that Ling Hua’an could see her and subconsciously replied, ” In……”

“What do you two want to buy? ” The man’s voice sounded very gentle.

Ling Hua’an smiled lightly and said, “Is this gentleman, Mr. Lin Shaolin?”

“Yes, who are you two?” Lin Shao looked at the two carefully, convinced that they didn’t know each other.

“My surname is Ling. I’m from Huacheng. I came to Licheng to travel. I heard about Mr. Lin by chance and I have something that will trouble you. I don’t know if it’s convenient for you?”

“Mr. Ling?” Lin Shao’s eyes lit up, and said, “Is Mr. Ling’s name Ling Hua’an?”

Ling Hua’an was taken aback and asked in surprise, “Mr. Lin knows me?”

Lin Shao said frankly, “I have been to Huacheng and have a good friend who Mr. Ling has helped, so I somewhat know about Mr. Ling.”

“Friend? Then we are predestined. If it’s convenient for Mr. Lin, can we talk alone?”

Lin Shao nodded and said, “Of course, Mr. Ling please follow me to the backyard for a while.”

A small voice sounded, and it seemed that something was rolling. Thinking about the cost of being a Spirit Guide, Ling Hua’an guessed in his mind. With the help of Jiang Chengyan, he followed Lin Shao to the backyard. The female ghost did not follow but stayed to watch the store.

The three walked into a room. Lin Shao said with a smile, “please sit down. I’ll make a pot of tea for you.”

“Then I’ll trouble Mr. Lin.” Ling Hua’an did not refuse, being the same disabled person, he understood each other’s feelings too well. What he feared most was that others would treat them differently.

When Lin Shao went to make tea, Jiang Chengyan whispered, “Hua’an, Mr. Lin has a problem walking.”

“I know. Captain Jiang, I have something to talk about with Mr. Lin. It may take some time. You should go to Yan Yu and Lu Hao, so they will not worry when looking for us.”

“Okay, take care of yourself.”

Jiang Chengyan got up, greeted Lin Shao, and left the backyard.

Lin Shao carried the tea tray, controlled the wheelchair, and walked over. He poured the tea, handed it to Ling Hua’an, and said, “I don’t know what tea Mr. Ling likes, so I just made a pot of Longjing tea. Try it, whether it is to your taste.”

Ling Hua’an took the cup of tea, smelled the tea, and tasted it carefully. He smiled and said, “Longjing before the rain tastes very good. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Lin.”

“It’s good that Mr. Ling likes it.” Lin Shao’s voice is warm and pleasant, easy to get close to.

“I came to Mr. Lin today to ask for help. “Ling Hua’an took out the bell from his pocket, released Li Nanhang, and explained in detail what happened yesterday.

“So that’s how it is.” Lin Shao looked at Li Nanhang and said, “Looking at your appearance, you should have been dead for a while. If you don’t reincarnate, you will only become a wandering ghost. Like the people under the ancient city wall. Ignorant and unconscious, wandering there all day long.”

“I know. The messenger also tried to take me back to the underworld, and I was the one who found the opportunity to escape. I am a policeman. The greatest wish in my life is to be a qualified policeman and be worthy of my uniform. It is a pity that someone accidentally killed me while that person is still free from the law. I can’t accept it. If I can’t catch him, how can I have the face to reincarnate.”

In fact, Li Nanhang can absorb the Yang energy of human beings like those other resentful ghosts to have the ability to seek revenge for the person who killed him. Since he is a policeman, that identity has been engraved in his soul. He can’t hurt other innocent people. It’s the reason why Ling Hua’an appreciates him.

Lin Shao nodded and said, “let me help you with the rules of the spirit guide. But you must pay a certain amount of money.”

Li Nanhang frowned slightly and said with a wry smile, “my hometown is in the countryside. Although I have worked in Licheng for many years, our family still rents a house. Now I am dead… My family only relies on my wife to support them. I’m afraid I can’t afford to pay.”

As soon as Ling Hua’an wanted to speak, he heard Lin Shao say, “Since Mr. Ling just said that he has something to entrust, I think he already planned to pay for you. So you don’t have to worry about this. Mr. Ling, am I right?”

The corner of Ling Hua’an’s mouth raised a smile. He felt like he had known Lin Shao long ago and said cheerfully, “Mr. Lin is right. I will pay for his reward.”

Li Nanhang was stunned, looked at Ling Hua’an, and asked in confusion, “Why are you helping me so much?”

Ling Hua’an smiled frankly and said, “I admire Officer Li’s character. If it weren’t for the rules, I think Mr. Lin would help you free of charge.”

“Thank you, thank you. “Li Nanhang’s voice choked a little.

Lin Shao said comfortingly, “officer Li, you’re welcome. A conscientious police officer like you should have such a reward. I believe that the state will also give your family some compensation. So you don’t have to worry too much. You can reincarnate in peace when the time comes. Leave the rest to me.”

“Thank you. ” Apart from ‘thank you’, Li Nanhang doesn’t know what else he can say.

“Officer Li will trouble Mr. Lin, and I will not participate in the rest. As for the payment, I’ll leave my contact information. Just notifies me directly when the time comes.”

“Okay. Don’t worry, Mr. Ling, since I’ve taken this on, I’ll do my best.”

“Okay. My friend is still waiting for me, so I won’t stay much longer. Mr. Lin, Officer Li, goodbye.”

After Ling Hua’an left his contact information, he left the Lin Family Antique Shop, met with the three people waiting at the door, and continued their trip.

Lu Hao looked at the antique store curiously and asked, “Ge, what are you doing at the antique store?”

“The owner of the antique shop is a friend of mine. When I travel to Licheng, I always go there.” Lu Hao didn’t know about Ling Hua’an, and he didn’t plan to let him know.

“I see. Ge, it’s already noon. Let’s find a place to eat.”

“Okay, look at nearby restaurants, and choose what you want to eat.”

Jiang Chengyan pulled Ling Hua’an to slow down and asked in a whisper, “How’s the matter with Li Nanhang?”

“It has been handed over to Mr. Lin. Is Captain Jiang worried about your old classmate? ”

“Although I still don’t believe that Gao Yuan is a black policeman, Li Nanhang is already dead. He has reason to accuse Gao Yuan…”

Jiang Chengyan frowned, thinking about the possibility Gao Yuan was the black police, completely unaware that Ling Hua’an had stopped in his tracks.

Ling Hua’an listened to Jiang Chengyan’s slow footsteps with amusement, faintly jealous in his heart.

“Ge, why did you stop?” Lu Hao turned back but found Ling Hua’an stopped in the distance.

Jiang Chengyan returned to his senses, only to find that there was no trace of Ling Hua’an around him. He quickly turned around, walked to Ling Hua’an, and said, “Hua’an, why don’t you walk? Do you want to buy anything?”

Ling Hua’an was upset and said, “Captain Jiang is now full of your old classmate. Is there any room for me?”

Jiang Chengyan was stunned. He curled his eyes with a smile and said, “Is Hua’an jealous?”

“Yeah, is it so obvious? Captain Jiang can’t see it? “Ling Hua’an said honestly.

Jiang Chengyan teased Ling Hua’an on rare occasions and said with a smile, “I can see and smell it. The strong smell of acetic acid.”

“So how will Captain Jiang going to compensate me?” A smile surfaced under Ling Hua’an’s eyes.

Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment and said amusingly, “Oh, so that’s why you are waiting for me here.”

The smile in Ling Hua’an’s eyes deepened, “Captain Jiang, I’m a businessman. All I care about is profit comes first. So how does Captain Jiang want to compensate me?”

Seeing Lu Hao coming over, Jiang Chengyan quickly whispered, “Lu Hao is here. Please restrain yourself.”

“Then Captain Jiang must think about it seriously. I have to collect debts tonight.”

Thinking about Ling Hua’an’s words this morning, Jiang Chengyan’s face reddened. His heart feels both expectant and nervous.

“Hey, Captain Jiang, why are you blushing?” Lu Hao looked at Jiang Chengyan curiously.

“It’s nothing, my face is like this. It’s easy to blush when I get in the sun.”

Ling Hua’an really couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Lu Hao smiled when he saw this, “Oh, I see.”

Jiang Chengyan was embarrassed and wished he could find a crack to crawl in, so he secretly pinched Ling Hua’an and said, “Well, there’s a local product store in front of us. Let’s take a look.”

“It’s not easy to come here. It’s time to buy some local products.”

Seeing Jiang Chengyan’s embarrassment turning annoyed, he stopped teasing him. If he is really angry, it will be trouble at night.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes sadly, turned around, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The four played for a day, bought many things, and drove back to the hotel in the evening.

In the car, Lu Hao, who was swiping his mobile phone, suddenly said, “Hey, why does this man look so familiar? Liu Changyuan, a policeman of the Licheng City Bureau… Isn’t this the policeman we met yesterday? He committed suicide because of fear of crime.”

Ling Hua’aan frowned slightly and asked, “news report? Is it true?”

Lu Hao replied, “It’s from VB. A netizen broke the news. Now, the city Bureau has not responded to it yet. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Jiang Chengyan also took out his mobile phone to search for relevant news, but the information had been deleted when he clicked in. He frowned and said, “the news got deleted. It seems that the Internet police of the Beijing City Bureau are already blocking it.”

Ling Hua’an asked, “Lu Hao, what did the news say? Did it say the cause of Liu Changyuan’s death?”

“No, just say that Liu Changyuan is a black policeman and killed himself in the detention center after being arrested.”

Ling Hua’an then asked, “Captain Jiang, is it possible for the suspect to kill himself in the detention center?”

“Although they will confiscate the suspect belongings, especially dangerous items, but if you want to commit suicide, it is not impossible.”

“I think there’s something off.” Yan Yu, who had been silent suddenly spoke up.

“Tell me about it.” Ling Hua’an looked at Yan Yu

“Although I only had short contact with Liu Changyuan, I am sure that he is a man who cherishes his life. Otherwise, he would not even kill his companions to save himself.”

“I don’t think he is a person who dares to kill himself. “Ling Hua’an agreed with Yan Yu’s thoughts and said, “although the case yesterday was clear and the evidence of Liu Changyuan’s fired a gun is conclusive, Wang Ming was not dead. Even if he were sentenced, he would not be sentenced to death. There is no need to commit suicide.”

“If it’s not suicide, it must be murder, so…”
