Chapter 812: Chapter 812: Crazy for Love

"Yes, it was flowers." You turned your head towards Xu Hai, "When you gave flowers to Chai Hong, was there any card or anything like that inside?"

"No, I couldn’t be bothered." Xu Hai said.

"Then, did the packaging of that big bundle of flowers have the name of the flower shop on it?"

"Yes."

With a habitual frown, you spoke gravely, "If there was the flower shop’s name, the police would definitely investigate the flower shop upon finding the body. That way, they would have quickly discovered that you bought the roses. Logically, the police should have come to you."

"Right." Xu Hai slapped his palm, "But why didn’t they come to me then?"

Hearing this, Xian Qianling turned to look at Zhang Zifeng beside her. In a low voice, Zhang Zifeng said, "There were no flowers."

"There are two possibilities: one, the police didn’t want to spook anyone, because after Chai Hong rejected you, you just threw the flowers away. There must be surveillance records inside the Haitian Group Company, and you must have an alibi too, right?"

Xu Hai nodded, "Yes, after that, I went to have fun with a few buddies. That evening I even had a threesome with two Russian beauties, and I didn’t get up until ten the next morning."

"What? Russian beauties? I heard they are quite wild. Tell me more in detail, brother."

Xu Hai rolled his eyes, "Let’s focus on finding the person who killed Chai Hong first, brother."

"Just kidding with you." You said earnestly.

"Hmph, who would believe that?" Xu Hai pouted.

You held up two fingers, "Secondly, that scumbag who attacked Chai Hong must have taken the flowers too."

"Why would he do that?"

You scratched your head, deep in thought.

While Xian Qianling and others grew somewhat impatient, you suddenly asked, "Have you seen Chai Hong’s body?"

"No!" Xu Hai shook his head like a rattle drum, "She came to me on the seventh night after she died, scared the crap out of me. Got frightened for three days straight, today being the third, until I ran into you on the road."

In a heavy voice you said, "I don’t know why, but maybe because I’ve read quite a few books about the supernatural before, an idea just flashed through my mind. That scumbag, he might have cut off Chai Hong’s head!"

Xu Hai gasped sharply, "So twisted!"

Xian Qianling turned her head to look at Zhang Zifeng, whose face became solemn as he nodded.

You continued, "I remember there is a kind of spell in South Ocean called Head Drop. It involves killing someone, personally decapitating their head, and then using some Evil Arts to refine the victim’s head. After nine days, the murderer can completely seal the victim’s soul within the head, to control and command at will."

"Gan! No way! Absolutely not!" Xu Hai immediately jumped to his feet, his fists clenched tight.

At this, Xian Qianling’s expression changed again and again, and her gaze towards you also became different.

Among Wu Qiyi, Zhao’er, and Xian Qianling, you knew Xian Qianling for the shortest time, with the least rapport; you could even say there was hardly any.

However, she paid the most attention to you, including the way you spoke, your mannerisms, even the angle of your brows when confronted with issues, whether your gaze looked up or down, she knew them all intimately.

Moreover, although Xian Qianling and you had never had any close contact, she was very familiar with your exact height, the length of your arms and legs, the thickness of your thighs and arms because, in her room at Ladies’ Home, she had specifically bought three sets of clothes for you, although these brand-new clothes had never left her hands.

Just as Xian Qianling was about to make her move, Xu Hai placed his hands on your shoulders, his expression grave as he said, "Brother Yun, we must catch that bastard now! We can’t let more people get hurt."

You nodded slightly after a moment of silence, head bowed, "Ok, if that’s the case, let’s look for clues nearby."

"Alright!"

Seeing you and Xu Hai head in opposite directions down two darkened paths, Zhang Zifeng turned to Xian Qianling and asked, "Captain, should we follow them? Although Mu Yun doesn’t have Chairman Li’s terrifying ability to re-examine a case, this guy’s deductive skills are strong. And it seems he has some knowledge of supernatural matters. If we had his help in the future when we encounter supernatural cases, we wouldn’t have to bring people in from the supernatural detective society from far away."

His partner added beside Zhang Zifeng, "The main thing is, the fees charged by those guys at the supernatural detective society are getting higher and higher."

Xian Qianling had long thought of having you help with solving cases, but she fell silent again.

That’s because she was reminded of the unpleasant way she first got to know you.

In her work, Xian Qianling was stubborn and tough, merciless when it came to cracking cases, and just as tough on herself. Once, with a fever of 104 degrees, she had chased down a rapist-ghoul in her car. The cars collided, and Xian Qianling broke his legs, dragging him several kilometers to the nearest police station before she called it quits.

A woman’s intuition can be terrifying. The moment she saw you, Xian Qianling’s heart was rocked with intense waves. After observing your walk, the proportions of your limbs, the way you spoke, and your expressions, she was able to confirm through various behaviors that you were Li Muyun!

However, she still didn’t know what had happened to you, why you appeared in Eastern Sea, and why you hadn’t contacted Wu Qiyi and Zhao’er immediately.

Of course, for Xian Qianling, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

At that moment, Zhang Zifeng suddenly said, "Oh, right, Captain, there’s something I forgot to tell you."

"What is it?"

"It’s about Mu Yun," Zhang Zifeng said. "I talked to his landlord during my investigation. According to the landlord, Mu Yun seems to have amnesia."

"Amnesia?"

"Yes," Zhang Zifeng nodded. "The landlord said that a few days ago, he went camping in the northwestern forest of Yuhang with his girlfriend and a group of friends. He accidentally fell from a hillside and after that, he lost his memory."

"He has a girlfriend?"

Xian Qianling’s brows twisted together as she wondered to herself, "Could Zhao’er be in Eastern Sea too?"

"A woman named Han Rourong."

Xian Qianling stopped talking and fell into thought again.

Although she didn’t know what exactly had happened to you, Xian Qianling knew that as long as Zhao’er wasn’t by your side, this was the best opportunity.

As for that Jiao woman Han Rourong, she didn’t take her seriously at all.

But how to approach you?

Should she use the same tough and threatening methods as before?

No, no way, absolutely not!

In the past, Xian Qianling didn’t know what feelings were, but as she got to know and understand you better, she had fallen into a situation she couldn’t extricate herself from.

She used to watch movies and think the heroines who were madly in love were exaggerated, but now she could even go crazy for love!
