After Lou Yating was successfully rescued, she did not go to school for the time being. Master Qian hired a psychiatrist to heal her from the trauma she experienced during this period.
Lou Yuxin contacted his parents via telegram, clarifying what happened here and his attitude towards his sister's marriage, and asked them not to interfere in his sister's marriage in the future.
The Lou family's parents didn't know what their reasons were for not agreeing with Lou Yating's boyfriend.
They sent a telegram back and quarreled with Lou Yuxin. Lou Yuxin could only use magic to defeat the magic, saying that if his parents continued to be stubborn, he would commit suicide.
A brother who needs to sacrifice his sister to maintain stability and health for the rest of his life has no meaning in living. He might as well die cleanly.
Lou Yuxin was too busy arguing with his parents that he couldn't spare any time to settle the entrustment fee for Liang Yuanque. Liang Yuanque was too embarrassed to ask for it seeing how exhausted he was every day.
After Master Qian heard about it, he paid Liang Yuanque out of his own pocket. But when Liang Yuanque heard that he and Lou Yating were getting married soon, he took most of it back as part of the money.
Inspector Fu perfectly dealt with the murderous demon and established a good reputation among the masses. With this, he got closer and closer to his sweetheart and successfully chased the girl he loved.
When he heard that Master Qian and Lou Yating were going to get married soon, he became more competitive and immediately said that he would put marriage on the agenda as soon as possible.
This was good news. Liang Yuanque was given an extra gift. After careful calculation, he found that he was not only injured but also lost money due to his missing work.
Zhuang Youjie had previously persuaded him to just make friends, and at the same time he was counting his pitiful salary to prepare gifts, thinking that he might not be able to eat before his salary next month.
Inspector Fu's fiancée Miss Lingling said that she will write a novel based on Liang Yuanque next, and if it can be successfully published, she will pay him the copyright fee.
Liang Yuanque smiled and declined, saying that if he had to give it, just give it to Zhuang Youjie. It was just his salary, so he wouldn't starve to death one day.
On this day, Liang Yuanque asked Su Qingling to help tell Detective Fu that he would be discharged from the hospital today and he took the time to come over and pay the medical bills.
After the explanation, Liang Yuanque invited Zhuang Youjie to have a hasty lunch nearby, and then took him back to Changhong Street.
The afternoon on Changhong Street was very peaceful, with bright sunshine everywhere and occasional passing bicycles making some noise.
From the looks of it, this is really a suitable place to live, giving people a very down-to-earth and comfortable feeling.
There was an old lady with gray hair selling fruit at a stall at the intersection. Liang Yuanque went over to pick some that were of acceptable quality and carried them to the door of Aunt Wang's house.
Zhuang Youjie wondered why he came back. Liang Yuanque smiled sheepishly and said, "I scared their children before, but I can't get over it."
After knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was a girl about ten years old. She must be Aunt Wang's eldest daughter. Today is the weekend and she did not go to school.
"Excuse me, who are you?" The girl had never seen him before and was very confused.
Just as she was talking, Aunt Wang came over from behind her, "Xiao Hong, who is it?"
When Aunt Wang came over to take a look, her expression became unnatural. Apparently, the appearance of Liang Yuanque reminded her of unpleasant memories.
She blocked her daughter behind her and asked with a vigilant look on her face, "You, what are you doing here again? Haven't your cases been finished yet?"
Liang Yuanque smiled awkwardly and immediately handed over the fruit in his hand, "Auntie, I'm sorry about what happened before. I'm here to apologize."
Aunt Wang looked at the gift he gave and didn't dare to accept it. The two of them were in a stalemate for a while.
Until their little daughter ran out, she was a little excited when she saw Liang Yuanque, and ran to him with a smile,
"Brother, have you finished filming your movie?"
So Liang Yuanque knelt down and handed the fruit to her hand, "Well, the photo is finished."
The little girl was very happy and continued to ask, "When can I see it in the cinema?"
Liang Yuanque smiled and touched her head, "When you grow up."
The little girl was very naive and didn't quite understand what he meant. "Ah, it will take a long time to wait!"
Aunt Wang saw that he was really just here to give gifts and apologize, so her guard relaxed and she stepped forward to take the things from the child's hands.
"Uh, well, well, I don't know how to call you hello. Anyway, it's fine. You don't have to go out of your way to apologize."
Liang Yuanque saw that she was about to return the things, so he quickly grabbed Zhuang Youjie behind him who had not yet reacted and slipped away.
"You keep it to eat, it's for the child."
After leaving Aunt Wang's house, Zhuang Youjie knew that Liang Yuanque was leaving soon, and he was quite reluctant to let go. After brewing for a long time, he finally said what he had wanted to say before,
"Mr. Liang, I have something to ask you. Is it okay?"
Liang Yuanque looked at him, "You have to say something before I can judge whether it's okay or not."
"When you go out to investigate cases or something, can you call me?"
Zhuang Youjie's eyes shone with anticipation. He had this idea before when he was in Liucheng, but before he could talk about it, Liang Yuanque suddenly disappeared.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Zhuang Youjie quickly added to make amends for himself, "Even if I can't help you, I can at least accompany you so that your journey is not so boring."
Liang Yuanque tilted his head and answered him without proof, "Don't you still have a job?"
"I'm not busy at work." Zhuang Youjie jogged a few steps to catch up with him.
"Why do you like detective work so much? Aren't you afraid?" Liang Yuanque stopped and finally faced him head-on.
Zhuang Youjie also stopped and thought for a long time. He felt vaguely responsible for the matter of solving the case.
These emotions continued to expand in his chest, giving him the idea that he should choose this way no matter what.
The emotions in his heart were agitated to the extreme, but he couldn't give a single reason. After holding it in for a long time, he only came up with this reason.
"I think it's quite interesting."
Liang Yuanque looked at him seriously as he thought, and after he mentioned this reason, he couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pat his shoulder, "Very good, interesting is a very interesting reason."
Zhuang Youjie was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Mr. Liang, you, you agreed?"
Liang Yuanque turned his back and continued walking forward, "Don't call me Mr. Liang anymore. It always sounds awkward to me."
"Then what should I call you?" Zhuang Youjie thought to himself, I can't really call you cousin, can I?
"My former friends called me Aqiao."
"Ah Que..." Zhuang Youjie rolled the name on the tip of his tongue, ah, no, he was...
"Aque, you treat me as your friend!"
"I reluctantly treat you as my partner, didn't you ask for it?" Liang Yuanque said very harshly.
But Zhuang Youjie is still very happy. Doesn't the word "partner" sound better than friends?
Liang Yuanque didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he changed the topic very abruptly again.
"Hey, I treated you to dinner at noon, it's your turn to treat me to dinner too, right?"
Zhuang Youjie thought about it and left the money he still had in his hand first. "That's okay, but the money in my hand is only enough to treat you to the noodle shop at the school gate."
"Okay, that bone soup noodle tastes delicious to me."
"Yeah, I've always liked that taste too. I heard it's the boss's exclusive secret recipe and you can't eat it anywhere else..."
Zhuang Youjie was talking endlessly when he suddenly stopped and looked back suddenly.
Liang Yuanque, who had just gradually fallen behind him, had already disappeared.
Come again, right?
In Liucheng before, Zhuang Youjie didn't see him for a while and let him slip away. This time, Liang Yuanque disappeared in front of him.
"You're playing tricks on me again," Zhuang Youjie said to himself angrily, "You're talking about using me as your partner, but in the end you're still playing tricks on me!"
However, this time he really mistakenly blamed the elusive Liang Yuanque. About a month later, he received a letter from Liang Yuanque,
"Partner, come and handle the case with me."
Attached is the address of a distant town.
