Oh ho ho? !
Lin Sui'an's eyebrows almost flew up: This is interesting.
After Hua Yitang finished speaking, he shivered and rolled up his sleeves to show Lin Sui'an his arms. "Look, the hairs on my hair are standing on end! Do you think you've seen a ghost?"
Hua Yitang's arms were white and tender. Not to mention the hair, not even a pore was visible. He didn't know what kind of beauty products were used to remove the red marks from the ruler, and his skin became more and more like cream. Lin Sui'an's eyes were on it. He lingered and looked at the white arm with a layer of chicken skin on it, and then he took it back.
"Perhaps they are just people with similar faces." Lin Sui'an looked away and said.
Hua Yitang hurriedly pulled up his sleeves, his ears turning pink.
Lin Sui'an's expression remained unchanged: "Where are Mu Xia and Ita?"
Hua Yitang's gesture of waving the fan was slightly stiff, "Mu Xia went to check for news about Aunt Yuan's family. Hua's family has several shops in Guangdu, so it shouldn't be difficult to contact them. Ita went to check other treasure shops - —”
"Do you suspect there are fakes in other stores?" Lin Sui'an asked.
"It's always right to check again," Hua Yitang's expression and movements returned to normal, "How are you doing there?"
"Xiaoyan went to see an old craftsman named Lu Shi after finishing work, but -" Lin Sui'an frowned, "Lu Shi is dead."
Hua Yitang's fan stopped.
Lin Sui'an lowered her eyelids and scratched her forehead. She was really in a dilemma now. The golden finger showed that Lu Shi's death might be related to the counterfeit, which was a valuable clue. But if she wanted to investigate this line, she had to Tell Hua Yitang the reason for continuing the investigation - she has two choices, one is to find any reason to fool him as before, the other is to tell the truth to Hua Yitang that she has a golden finger.
In the past, she would have chosen to hide it without hesitation, but now, she was a little hesitant.
[No one can be trusted, the only person who can be trusted is yourself! 】
The voice of reason reminded her sharply, but another voice rose in her heart:
[There is no reason, I just believe you. 】
This was what Hua Yitang said in the cell before. Lin Sui'an now clearly remembers his eyes at that time. They were clear, firm and sincere, especially paired with that beautiful face. It was so bewitching.
But, does she dare to believe him?
If this incredible ability were revealed, how would Hua Yitang view her?
Think she's crazy? Silly? Mentally ill? Or do you regard her as a monster and avoid her? Report him to the police and arrest him? Hire someone to cut it?
Or - really believe her, help her, and walk side by side with her?
Does she dare to bet?
The voice of reason and the voice in the heart come and go, entangled with each other, and it is impossible to tell which voice is louder, and eventually mix into a piercing noise. Lin Sui'an's heart was beating wildly - as expected, she still didn't dare to gamble.
"Hua Yitang, I -" Lin Sui'an raised his eyes and was startled when he saw Hua Yitang's appearance clearly, "What are you doing?!"
Hua Yitang hunched his shoulders, hooked his neck, and kept clasping the handle of the fan with his nails, looking like a small animal carrying a hundred thousand kilograms of grievances.
"I'm sorry...actually...I've been hiding something from you."
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Lin Sui'an: "Huh?!"
"This matter is the top secret of our Hua family, and we must not tell it to outsiders, but -" Hua Yitang suddenly raised his head and said with a solemn expression, "Since I have decided to partner with you, I must treat it with sincerity!"
Hua Yitang said it so solemnly that Lin Sui'an couldn't help but become nervous, and countless ideas popped up like matsutake mushrooms after the rain:
Could it be that this guy also traveled through time? Reborn? Have past life memories? Are there also unknown cheats?
But Hua Yitang's next sentence immediately overturned Lin Sui'an's thinking.
"When I was born, an eminent monk gave me a fortune-telling, saying that I was destined to be a bad person, and that I would suffer hundreds of disasters in my life. My father and mother were frightened, and spent a lot of money to change my fate, but the eminent monk said that even if he spent his whole life cultivating, I would still be in trouble. He can only keep me safe for five years. He cannot foresee what my fate will be after that, so he can only do his best to obey fate."
Lin Sui'an: "Uh...have you met a liar?"
Hua Yitang shook his head: "After I was five years old, I often encountered bizarre murders. To put it bluntly..." Speaking of this, as if he had a deep hatred for the eminent monk, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wherever you go, people will die!"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
"I didn't volunteer to help Mu Zhong solve cases before, but those cases always came to me inexplicably, and I had no choice but to do so." Hua Yitang took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, it's really hard for me to talk about it. In fact, what happened to you I was probably implicated in all the murders."
The topic was inexplicably dark. Lin Sui'an reached out hesitantly, wanting to pat Hua Yitang's shoulder to comfort him, "...you can't say that..."
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Hua Yitang suddenly sat up straight, his eyes brightened and said, "But I don't believe in this evil! They say that I am destined to be a sinner, but I want to be a dandy with friends all over the world. They say that I am in trouble. Qian, I want to kick all these bullshit disasters away. If I have to be accompanied by bizarre murders in my life, I want to find out all the truth!"
His words were deafening and impassioned.
Lin Sui'an was extremely shocked and was stunned for a long time. Then he burst out laughing. The laughter got louder and louder. He burst into tears and slapped his thighs wildly.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"
Hua Yitang seemed to be surprised by Lin Sui'an's laughter, and his expression was even more astonished than Lin Sui'an.
Lin Sui'an laughed for a full cup of tea before he regained his breath, wiped his face and said, "Hua Yitang, thank you."
"Eh?" Hua Yitang's puzzled expression was sincere, but Lin Sui'an could detect a trace of panic and shyness from this perfect expression.
This guy is worthy of being the real protagonist with the double buffs of halo and detective physique - he is indeed extremely intelligent and thoughtful - he must have discovered her abnormality during the Bai Sheng case, but never asked further questions. Seeing her hesitate again and again today, He still didn't reveal it, but instead revealed his fate as a lonely star.
Lin Sui'an understood what he wanted to say:
No matter how incredible what you say is, I believe you.
Because, so am I.
In this world, I am the only one who will definitely believe in you.
So what if her golden finger is unlucky?
Wherever he goes, isn't it even more outrageous that a dead person's physique is there?
But so what?
Thousands of disasters, what is there to be afraid of?
Gu Sha, the life-criminal, lets go of his bullshit.
In life, who doesn't survive through hardships? Even if there are thousands of disasters, they are nothing more than eight words: soldiers will stop them, and water will cover them.
Lin Sui'an felt as if the thick haze had dissipated from his chest, and his whole heart felt a lot brighter. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Actually, there is one thing I didn't tell you."
Hua Yitang moved forward, pursed his lips, and looked forward to it.
"I can see through the eyes of the deceased a small piece of their memory."
Hua Yitang's eyes were round and round, his chin dropped, the fan in his hand fell off, and even the corners of his clothes were dried.
Lin Sui'an looked at him with a smile, not anxious at all, waiting for him to slowly understand and digest.
After a while, Hua Yitang closed his chin, picked up the fan, and smiled brightly: "I would like to hear the details."
"The ancients do not deceive me. The vastness of the world and the magic of the universe are difficult to penetrate with the power of mortals like us. It is really strange and wonderful." After listening to Lin Sui'an's description of Golden Finger, Hua Yitang seemed to understand After meeting Ren and Du, even the pronunciation at the end of the words was flattering, "It's really rare for you and me to have such a fateful meeting!"
Lin Sui'an snorted: "Indeed, two unlucky guys, no one can dislike the other."
Hua Yitang waved his fan and had fun for a while, then said with a solemn expression, "Tell me the details of the style of jewelry you saw."
This is too difficult for Lin Sui'an. The memories that Goldfinger can see can only be a few seconds at most. Adding the memory filter of the deceased will cause some distortion. More importantly, Lin Sui'an knows nothing about jewelry of this era. Compared with After describing it for a long time, not to mention Hua Yitang, even she herself felt dizzy.
Hua Yitang thought for a while, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and quickly drew a hairpin, "This is a fake from Zhenbaofang. Take a closer look. Is it the same as what you saw?"
Lin Sui'an stared at it for a long time and frowned, "It's somewhat similar, but... it doesn't seem to be the same. It's best to see the real thing again."
There was still some time before the curfew, so the two of them went to Zhenbaofang non-stop. The store was closed. Hua Yitang took off the hairpin and fiddled with the door lock for a few times. He easily let go of the door, put the hairpin back with his backhand, and left as if no one was there. Go in.
Lin Sui'an: "..."
She now seriously suspects that the thief is this guy!
Noticing Lin Sui'an's eyes staring at the thief, Hua Yitang hurriedly explained, "The locks in all Hua's shops are specially made by someone. I have been playing with them since I was a child, so I can open them at will. If it is a lock made by another family, , I really can't open it..." He paused and lowered his voice, "Other than Mu Xia, only you know about this. Don't tell my elder brother, otherwise he will definitely change all the locks on Hua's shop, too It’s a waste of money, not worth it.”
Lin Sui'an: Haha. It’s really a day and night defense, it’s hard to guard against house thieves!
Hua Yitang took the fake and sent it to Lin Sui'an. Lin Sui'an looked over it several times and recalled, "The pearls are smaller, the position is a little biased, the pattern is not so complicated, and the hairpin seems to be thinner... "
Lin Sui'an talked about Hua Yitang while drawing and revising it. It took a full stick of incense to draw a sketch.
Lin Sui'an took a closer look and said, "It almost looks like this."
Hua Yitang's face was a little dark: "The styles of these two hairpins are completely different. How did you see the similarity?"
Lin Sui'an: "They are all hairpins with pearls on them."
"..."
Lin Sui'an was a little embarrassed: "I have never worn jewelry, so I can't tell the difference in details."
Lin Sui'an meant that she had never worn jewelry of this era, so she had no research, but she didn't know what Hua Yitang had misunderstood. She frowned slightly and looked at Lin Sui'an for a long time. There was a faint red light in her eyes, and then she moved quickly. He opened his eyes, hummed and groaned for a long time, and then said:
"Where is Lu Shi's body?"
"They should have been taken away by Lu Jiu," Lin Sui'an said, "Do you doubt the cause of Lu Shi's death?"
"If he is related to the counterfeiting case, the timing of his death is too strange. I want to examine his body again."
Lin Sui'an was really shocked this time, "You can still perform autopsies?!"
Are you looking down on this dude? He's actually dabbled in such an obscure subject?
"I don't know how, but as long as I give the county government clerk a little benefit, he will naturally help." Hua Yitang said confidently.
"Uh..." Lin Sui'an scratched his forehead, "I forgot to tell you that the county government's widower is an alcoholic, and he doesn't seem to know how to do an autopsy."
"..."
The two unlucky men stared at each other for a long time, and for the first time they truly realized this very urgent technical issue: they did not know how to perform an autopsy.
Hua Yitang: "Who found out the cause of Lu Shi's death before?"
Lin Sui'an: "He is a doctor named Ji."
"Keep asking him for help."
"..."
Lin Sui'an felt it was unreliable. This Heyue City was either big or small. It had a population of 100,000 people in 13 miles, and the doctor said there were hundreds at least. She didn't even know the full name of Doctor Ji. , where can I find it?
At times like this, she misses modern communication tools so much. She just needs to call Jin Ruo and ask him to ask Dr. Xiao Yanji's address...
"I asked, Doctor Ji lives at Ji's Medical Center, Wushi Street, Qihefang." Hua Yitang turned around and greeted Lin Sui'an, with a smiling passerby standing beside him.
Lin Sui'an: "..."
what's the situation? They turned a corner after leaving Zhenbaofang, and Hua Yitang had already asked for the address. Could it be that the Hua family has an information channel that is as good as Jingmen... How strange!
Lin Sui'an saw the gold leaf in the passerby's hand, and it turned out to be the "money power" inherited from the Hua family. The passerby was so happy that the folds on his face could kill flies, "Mr. Gentleman, I'm on my way, and I'll take you there just in time."
The prodigal dandy!
Lin Sui'an resisted the urge to roll his eyes and listened to Hua Yitang chatting with passers-by. I have to say that Hua Yitang's chatting skills are really good. When the topic is about to end, she can always say "Is there such a thing?", "Oh?", "I have never heard of it when I grow up!", "That's it!", it was like a compliment, and the passerby knew everything and could not stop talking about it.
"Mr. Lang, you are from out of town, but you don't know that this ghost place in Beiyuefang has bad feng shui and is very sick. The old people living there live day by day with little hope and no money. Even if they are sick, We can only stay close to each other, and to put it bluntly, we are waiting to die."
"The doctors in the city dislike the poor and prefer the rich and are unwilling to go there. Only Dr. Ji is willing to go. Not only does he provide free clinics for the elderly in the community and pay for their medicines in advance, he is also very skilled in medicine and has cured many people. Let me tell you. , such a kind act is not an exaggeration even if it means building an ancestral hall."
"Those quack doctors are talking about Dr. Ji just to get his reputation. It's just bullshit. If they have the ability, they will go to free clinics. Oh, they don't even want to help for a penny. How dare they talk about Dr. Ji? Hey, don't look at us. Heyuecheng is not a big place, but as the saying goes, there are many bastards in the pond, temple demons are popular, and there are many quack doctors, especially the one named Fang in Zhongyuefang. I heard that he cured several people to death, so he has to pay for it. His pants were ruined - well, it would be unlucky not to talk about him."
"Doctor Ji doesn't care about money or fame. I heard that in order to help the elderly pay for medicines, he often secretly sells his wife's dowry. His wife is also a virtuous woman. If she were that evil woman in my family, she would probably lift the roof off. It’s time to go!”
When passers-by began to complain about how unpalatable the food cooked by their wives was, Ji's Medical Center finally arrived. It was indeed as rumored. The facade was small, the plaque did not have any fancy decorations, and the banners had not been washed for an unknown period of time, and looked gray in the dim light of dusk. The shop is quite neat. There is a medicine cabinet on the left wall with the names of various Chinese medicines marked in red pen. There are mats on the right side, which is roughly the waiting area for patients. In front of it is a medical case with hand pillows and the four treasures of the study. There is a plain screen leaning against it, and there is a faint light coming from behind, which should lead directly to the back house.
Lin Sui'an was wondering why Dr. Ji was not attending the consultation. Suddenly, a charming female voice came from behind the screen.
"Doctor Ji, you have kept me waiting for so long, and I am very worried~"
The light and shadow flickered behind the screen, reflecting a slim figure with a slender waist and long legs, swaying gracefully.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Sui'an heard Doctor Ji's voice, and his breathing was a little rapid, as if he was suppressing something: "You Jiuniang, I can't be in a hurry."
"How long will it take? I can't wait~"
"Come on, come on -"
There was a loud "boom" sound, as if something had been knocked over. You Jiuniang screamed and fell to the ground. She let out a series of screams again, her clothes tumbling like waves.
Hua Yitang's fan fell to the ground with a "pop!" and his whole body seemed to have been blasted by firecrackers. He was red from head to toe. He hurriedly grabbed Lin Sui'an, "Let's wait for another day -"
He didn't even touch the corner of Lin Sui'an's clothes, and Lin Sui'an rushed over like an arrow from a string. :,,
