"I just saw your tone trembling when you described the dummy coming back to life. Now if you really go there, wouldn't you be afraid?" Shen Xing asked.
Xia Hongyu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, her expression still firm, "I have to know if someone is harming me, because I suspect it has something to do with my ex-husband."
Shen Xing did not make any judgment. He felt that this was a private matter, so he did not ask any further questions.
"You can find someone to investigate first."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Hongyu looked at Shen Xing with something wrong, and her eyes shone slightly.
"Your wood sculpture can restrain the dummy that wants to attack me. You must have a way, or the wood sculpture you made can help me."
Of course, what Shen Xing just meant was not to help her investigate by himself, but to rely on Xia Hongyu's connections and connections to find someone who was good at investigating.
Unexpectedly, Xia Hongyu didn't think about anything else at all, but just took a fancy to Shen Xing himself, thinking that his wood carving could restrain the resurrection of the dummy, so Shen Xing was the most suitable candidate to go.
Of course, if she had known that Shen Xing had handled a boy puppet similar to hers at home yesterday, she would have been even more convinced.
"I might...don't have time." Shen Xing shook his head.
Xia Hongyu immediately said: "I didn't ask you to help for free. I will pay you generously as long as you are willing to help me investigate."
"What do you want to investigate?" Shen Xing asked: "Does your ex-husband live in Ping'an City, Jingzhou?"
"No." Xia Hongyu explained: "I don't know where he is now. I only know that he may do evil to me secretly because he is jealous that I am living a better life than him. He has always been a selfish person."
Shen Xing shrugged, "Sorry, I have some things I haven't dealt with, so I might not be able to leave."
Xia Hongyu said: "I won't let you go alone. I will hire a private detective. You just need to follow him. If a dummy appears, just use your wood carving to deal with it."
Shen Xing fell into silence. He thought about it carefully. He was also confused about the fact that he received the boy puppet.
What he was thinking about now was not the wasted thousands of dollars, but the reason for this. He couldn't guess whether the ordered puppets were exchanged by chance or necessity.
If that doesn't work, I might as well go back to Ping'an City to check it out based on Xia Hongyu's request this time. Anyway, I have the resources provided by Xia Hongyu to use, which will save me a lot of trouble and expenses.
The only thing Shen Xing is worried about now is that it may not be convenient if he goes to investigate with others.
"Well, you can go if you want me to." Shen Xing finally nodded, "But I want to act alone, not with the private detective. But I know that the private detective has a wide range of sources of information. He doesn't need to go to Ping'an City, but He can provide me with the information I want to know at any time. Do you think this is okay?"
After hearing these words, Xia Hongyu hesitated and asked: "Mr. Shen, you have been making wood carvings at home. Do you have any experience in investigating this area?"
"Then you have misunderstood." Shen Xing smiled, "I often go out to collect materials. Sometimes when I encounter better wood or some hidden materials, I will try my best to find out. So I have been doing this kind of investigation all the time. .”
Xia Hongyu nodded doubtfully, "Okay then, I will ask the private detective Lao Liang to contact you and provide you with the information you want, and then give you 200,000 as the cost of this investigation. If it is found out that my ex-husband deliberately harmed me For clues, I will give you another 1.8 million as reward."
After hearing the last fee, Shen Xing suddenly felt that it was impossible not to go on this trip, otherwise he would not be able to pass this test.
This woman was indeed a financial backer. She was just helping to investigate his ex-husband. As long as she got the clues, she could get such a large sum of money. The deal was indeed a good deal.
"Can I ask what's going on between you and your ex-husband?" Shen Xing said, "Don't mind. Since I want to help you, I always need to know something about the situation in advance."
Xia Hongyu didn't think much and roughly told about her last marriage.
This woman is just thirty-five years old. She is actually not very old, and she has a very strong talent for financial management.
After her marriage, her ex-husband was laid off due to poor performance of the company, and he stayed at home. Later, instead of going out to find a job, he got into the bad habit of gambling.
Because all the money in the family was earned by Xia Hongyu, this guy didn't feel it was hard at all. Behind Xia Hongyu's back, the originally wealthy family was heavily in debt. By the time Xia Hongyu found out, the house had been repossessed by the bank due to the other party's lawsuit.
In addition, Xia Hongyu also discovered a hair-raising fact. When she was cleaning up her home, she found an accident insurance policy in the gap under her husband's bedside table.
Her husband had purchased it for her with a huge amount of insurance, and it had been purchased just last month when she discovered it.
Xia Hongyu thought about this and was extremely frightened. She immediately filed for divorce and moved out, never daring to see this man again.
During this period, the man found her and kept explaining, but Xia Hongyu was determined and never wanted to return.
The two had been separated for two years, which was one of the conditions for the breakdown of their relationship. Then Xia Hongyu filed for divorce and completely severed contact with the man.
In the following time, she would receive text messages from the other party from time to time. The content of the text messages included begging for peace, insults, swearing, threats, etc. Xia Hongyu simply changed her mobile phone number, and her ex-husband did not contact her again until that time.
After Shen Xing roughly understood the situation, he thought about it from Xia Hongyu's perspective. His first reaction was that the resurrection of the dummy at home was very likely to be related to the woman's ex-husband.
Of course, this assumes that this woman has no other enemies while doing business.
As long as we find the source of making this dummy, which is the "Mo's Handicraft Workshop", we should be able to find some clues.
Xia Hongyu was very cheerful. After seeing Shen Xing agree, she immediately gave Shen Xing the private detective's contact information and directly transferred 200,000 to Shen Xing's card, without worrying that he would run away with the money.
After the matter was settled, Xia Hongyu asked: "Mr. Shen, I can help you take care of Feifei while you are out."
The two of them had talked before, so she also knew that Feifei was a child adopted by Shen Xing. For such a caring person, she felt relieved to transfer 200,000 to Shen Xing's account just now.
Shen Xing was originally planning to repeat the same trick and let the second-rate guy come out to take care of Feifei for a few more days, but now he heard from Xia Hongyu that if he refused, Xia Hongyu might come to see Feifei after two days of leaving.
When the time comes to suddenly see a second-rate person, it will cause trouble.
In this case, it's better to just leave Feifei in the care of this woman this time. Anyway, Xia Hongyu's living conditions are good, so she will definitely not treat Feifei badly.
The only thing to see now is whether Feifei is willing.
However, Shen Xing felt that Feifei should be fine. Towards Xia Hongyu, the little girl was quite friendly and showed no obvious rejection.
On the contrary, when the rich girl Su Tong came to buy wood carvings last time, Feifei was quite wary of her. Although Shen Xing felt this, she didn't understand the reason at all.
Sometimes it can only mean that the magnetic field between two people is not right.
The two agreed that Feifei would be picked up and dropped off directly by Xia Hongyu, and instead of going back to Dahu Apartment, they would stay at Xia Hongyu's house for a few days, waiting for Shen Xing to come back.
Shen Xing is not worried about this. He knows very well that this woman can take care of children much better than he can.
And there are people taking care of Feifei, so I believe that bastard will not show up.
This is the rule summarized by Shen Xing, and it is also the rule that determines whether second-hand choices will appear.
In the evening, Shen Xing told Feifei this plan, but she just said that she would go out to do some errands temporarily and would be back in a few days. Aunt Xia said that she missed her very much and wanted to pick her up to stay for just a few days.
On the way Shen Xing sent Feifei there, Feifei held a small bag containing daily necessities and kept mumbling.
Shen Xing listened for a long time before she finally heard it clearly. What Feifei muttered was: a poor excuse.
After hearing this, Shen Xing suddenly had the idea of asking Feifei to read less extracurricular readings, because the little girl's tone sounded more and more like an adult.

Xia Hongyu's home is very big, so Feifei shut up immediately when she entered the living room of Xia's house, which was the five words "poor excuse" that Feifei kept chanting.
After walking around the huge room, Feifei said to Shen Xing with a firm expression and a firm tone; "Uncle Shen, I have decided that since Aunt Xia is lonely living alone, I will stay with her for a few more days. You Do not worry about me."
At this time, the ignorant golden retriever was sniffing around the little girl's feet, shaking his head and tail, and Feifei was also looking at it happily, obviously liking it very much.
Well, Shen Xing felt that these two, one big and one small, plus a cat and a dog, seemed to have the right temperament, so there was really no need to worry about her.
Xia Hongyu booked a ticket for him at noon tomorrow, and Feifei rested directly at Xia's house that night so that Xia Hongyu could drive her to school the next day.
When Shen Xing returned home, he put the two wood carvings Zhong Po III and Zhong Po IV into his backpack, and all the other necessary tools for dealing with anomalies. After everything was ready, he went to sleep.
The next day, Xia Hongyu sent Feifei to school, then came to Dahu Apartment, chatted with Shen Xing for a while, and took him to the airport.
Because I was leaving in a hurry, I did not buy a direct ticket to Ping'an City. Instead, I waited until I arrived in Jingzhou and then transferred to another plane.
After boarding the plane, we were speechless all the way. We waited for half an hour and then transferred to the second plane to reach our destination quickly.
After coming out of Ping'an City Airport, Shen Xing took a taxi and went to a hotel he had booked in advance.
He specially selected the location of this hotel, which is not far from the most prosperous market selling puppets. The store where he stopped to buy the Changge puppet last time was also not far from the hotel.
After checking into the hotel, Shen Xing took a short rest and did not go directly to the Mo's Handicraft Workshop at No. 208, Ping'an 17 Lane. It was some distance away from the hotel and took about fifteen minutes by taxi to get there.
He first chose to go to the store where he bought Miss Changge's puppet last time. He still had some memories of that place. He walked into the street and found the store quickly.
It was not yet dinner time, and the fat shop owner, Boss Jia, was sitting in the shop drinking tea. When he saw Shen Xing come in, he didn't recognize who it was and just stood up to say hello.
Shen Xing quickly scanned the puppets in the store, and sure enough he didn't find the girl puppet named Chang Ge.
In other words, just like what boss Jia Degao said, Changge was indeed sold to him, but he didn't know that the goods sent out would become another puppet at Shen Xing's place.
"Boss Jia, do you still remember me?" Shen Xing said straight to the point.
Judegao squinted his eyes and took a closer look. At this moment, the fat on his face was squeezed, and even his eyes almost disappeared.
After a while, he shook his head. It was true that we only had a one-sided relationship last time. After so many days, this guy's memory is not that good.
“I ordered a long song and received this.”
Shen Xing took out his phone, turned on the screen, and opened the photo of the boy puppet that he had taken.
Jiadegao suddenly understood and nodded quickly, "It's you! Did you bring that boy puppet? But that boy is not from my shop, I can't return it."
"No, I won't return the goods."
Shen Xing waved his hand, turned on his phone, canceled the refund application in front of Jiade Gao, and then clicked payment directly.
Seeing his mysterious operation, Judd looked up at him with confusion on his face.
When Judegaard thought about it, why did Shen Xing come so far not to return the goods, but to perform the receiving process in front of him?
Shen Xing put away his cell phone and explained his purpose.
"I actually quite like that boy puppet. I happened to pass by it on this business trip, so I wanted to know what went wrong that led to the indissoluble bond between me and that boy puppet."
He deliberately avoided the important and trivial, just to prevent Judegaard and others from arousing suspicion, which would make it inconvenient for his next actions.
Judegao saw that since the other party liked him, he was not here to pursue him, nor was he here to exchange goods. In addition, when he saw that the account was also recovered, he immediately felt relieved.
He immediately asked the clerk to make a cup of tea for Shen Xing, and then patiently explained: "The shipping orders here are all Changge Puppet, and they are absolutely correct. In this case, I will ask the clerk in charge of packaging and shipping that day to tell you in detail."
"No need." Shen Xing waved his hand, "If you can show me the monitoring during shipment, don't worry, I won't blame you for this. I'm just curious."
Judegao pondered for a moment and nodded, "The surveillance video is from Kuaishou Company. At that time, we also thought that there should be some! In this way, I will contact you now. You can have tea here for a while. If there is any , I asked them to pass it over.”
After the transaction was completed, Boss Jia's attitude became very enthusiastic, and he immediately agreed to do it, leaving a young clerk to guard the door of the store while he went inside.
Shen Xing held the tea cup and walked around the store, browsing other puppets.
About twenty minutes later, Jiadegao and another guy came out. This guy was holding a tablet computer and was opening a video. The video was a little dim, but the clarity of the picture was still good.
"Found it. This is the loading scene at that time." Jia Degao pointed to the video and said to Shen Xing: "Fortunately you came early. The express company over there said that if you come to ask for it tomorrow, this video will have already been Automatically deleted."
Shen Xing didn't speak, just watched the video screen carefully.
In the picture, a man wearing the uniform of a courier company is loading the goods to be shipped one by one into the trunk of the truck.
At this time, the young man pointed to one of the neatly packaged items and said, "Sir, this is the Puppet Changge you want. I sent it to you that day. After packing the items, I saw the express delivery note posted here. The outer packaging of the goods was left before leaving.”
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the neatly packaged item and said, "Here, this is it. My name is also written on the express delivery note."
Shen Xing looked at it and found that it was exactly what the young man said. It should be this one.
However, until the porter loaded the goods onto the truck, there was no sign of being exchanged, and soon all the goods to be transported were loaded.
The porter clapped his hands and left the surveillance area, probably to drink water.
At this moment, a person appeared on the screen. This person was the young man holding the tablet computer.
When he saw himself appearing on the screen, the guy was stunned and said in surprise: "That's me? When will I go back? I remember I've already left!"
Shen Xing saw that this guy's expression didn't seem to be fake. At this moment, he suddenly felt like he had seen this scene before.
