Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 282 Smile
“That young man?” An Xuan frowned.
“Yes.” Zuo Jing nodded, “He is too calm, and his knowledge is beyond ordinary people. Although he said he is an architecture student, it’s not strange that he knows something about history and culture, but he…”
Zuo Jing thought for a while, and continued, “In short, I think there’s something wrong with him. He seems to be quite emotionally stable, but I can feel the kind of anger that he inadvertently produces when he is offended or interrupted.”
An Xuan narrowed his eyes, looking in one direction, his gaze seeming to penetrate the wall. After a long while, he said softly, “It seems he knows how to disguise himself very well.”
“That’s right.” Zuo Jing continued, “I’ve already tried throwing out the bait, and it depends on whether he takes it. I’ll keep a close eye on him during this time.”
“Bait?” An Xuan suddenly became a little agitated, staring at her and saying, “You… you revealed the identities of those three people…”
Zuo Jing shook her head, interrupting him, “Don’t worry, of course not all of it, just that they are a team working together.”
“Foolish!” An Xuan’s face immediately changed, looking terrible.
“If the intelligence is wrong, you know the consequences of this matter developing.” Zuo Jing stared into An Xuan’s eyes. She wouldn’t back down on such a matter. “Either find that person and kill him, or… we’re all dead.”
“Whether it’s the bait, or us.” Zuo Jing lowered her voice.
“Hiss—” An Xuan took a deep breath. After a long while, he said coldly, “Do you know what will happen if this is known by the higher-ups?”
“I don’t know.”
“You will be judged by the higher-ups as having abnormal emotions, and the consequences and risks of your actions will be out of control. At the very least…” He stopped, not continuing, his tone filled with deep worry, as if he was the one who would suffer.
“They won’t know.” Zuo Jing suddenly smiled, the bloom of her face reflected in An Xuan’s handsome eyes, “Captain, you will help me hide it, won’t you?”
“Hoo—” An Xuan sighed, turning his face away, not looking at her.
“Just this once, never again.”
“Thank you, Captain!”
After adjusting his emotions for a while, An Xuan also returned to his usual face, looking businesslike, “Have you figured out the details of that Shi Liaozhi?”
“Not yet.” Zuo Jing replied, “He looks like he has some skills, and it’s not what he said. He’s not a thief, he should have had military experience.”
“Mercenary?”
Zuo Jing recalled for a moment, and shook her head, “It should be a regular army, his sleeping habits, and some of the details he inadvertently revealed, are very similar.”
“A regular soldier disguised as a thief…” An Xuan suddenly found it a little interesting.
“But I don’t think it’s likely to be him,” Zuo Jing said.
“Reason?”
“His sense of smell is a bit lacking, and…” Zuo Jing suddenly said, “His disguise is a bit too much, he looks like he only has some petty cleverness. Compared with Chen Qiang, I still think the latter has a higher probability.”
“Your feeling is more accurate than mine, which is one of the reasons why I chose you in the first place.” An Xuan nodded, “But remember, don’t trust your feeling too much, you should understand, the guys we are facing, besides their extreme madness, and almost self-abusive will, also have… disguise.”
“We have… paid too much of a bloody price in this regard.”
“I understand.” Zuo Jing nodded.
Looking up at the sky, An Xuan exhaled and said, “It’s almost time, we should go, let’s compare notes.”
“I came with you to monitor you, but you seemed to have discovered something in the middle, so you made an excuse to shake me off. The last time I saw you was by the low wall of Young Master Huang’s yard. You just climbed out, and then I followed you all the way back…”
“No.” An Xuan directly interrupted, “Two loopholes. The first one is in making an excuse. You need to think of this excuse now, otherwise it will be easy to slip up when asked about it when you go back.”
“Second, if you haven’t discovered anything, I have a way to shake you off. Do you think you still have a chance to find me, and follow me all the way without being discovered by me?”
“Even if you can use the explanation that I deliberately let you discover me, this explanation is not good enough.” An Xuan said, “Those people are not idiots.”
“Then…”
“You will go back with me later.” An Xuan looked up and said.
“Together?”
“Yes.” An Xuan nodded, “Not only together, but you also have to pretend to be very afraid of me.”
He paused, looked in the direction of Young Master Huang’s building, his eyes changed slightly, “But no matter how they force you to ask when we go back, you must insist that I am very normal, no problem, and that we only explored Young Master Huang’s place superficially and did not go deep.”
“Then they might think that you and I have reached some kind of deal.” Zuo Jing said.
“Not a deal.” An Xuan shook his head, “We discovered something, and you were caught by me with a fatal weakness,” he paused, “Just like Tang Shirou.”
A light suddenly flashed in Zuo Jing’s eyes.
“After all, before a new scapegoat is found, they are unwilling to approach me.” An Xuan looked at Zuo Jing and said.
…
“That sedan… is gone.”
The one who spoke was Chen Qiang. He looked like a student, and he spoke politely, not very tough.
“It’s nothing.” Shi Liaozhi fiddled with the messy hair on his head, looking very sloppy, “This kind of thing is very common in missions, you’ll get used to it.”
“The corpse disappeared for no reason?” Chen Qiang looked at him, as if humbly asking for an answer.
“That’s right.”
“Who of you still remembers where the sedan was parked last night?” A muffled voice came, and You Qi asked, “Why do I remember it was nearby?”
“Are there any traces on the ground?” Shi Liaozhi looked down, searching as he spoke.
“Is it here?”
Following the direction of Chen Qiang’s finger, Qin Jian was the first to come up, and found a few neat imprints in a pile of messy footprints.
Although there were signs of being damaged by footprints, it was still very clear if you looked carefully.
“Hmm?”
You Qi seemed to have discovered something, squatted next to the imprint, looking at it while using his hands to dig something on the ground.
After Shi Liaozhi noticed it, he walked behind him to see, “What did you find?”
You Qi didn’t hide anything, stepped back a little, made way and said, “Look,” he pointed to the imprint on the ground, “What left this?”
“A sedan, right.” Shi Liaozhi looked around, “I remember the sedan you brought back last night was left here.”
Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and couldn’t help but swallow. The paper woman in the sedan last night was so scary.
The first time he saw it, he almost passed out.
Even more bizarre was that no matter which direction he looked from, the paper woman seemed to be smiling at him.
