Go Ahead If You Can!
Chapter 26
Bai Yu didn't leave Shen Wei's room until it was late at night. She was a little tipsy as she staggered back to her own room.
When he entered the room, it was pitch black. Bai Yu yawned and was about to turn on the light on the wall when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of two faint green lights not far in front of him from the corner of his eye. He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and took half a step back before turning on the light switch with a "pa" sound.
The room suddenly lit up, and the two green lights disappeared, replaced by the expressionless black face of the cat-shaped Daqing.
"Phew!
You scared me! "
Bai Yu calmed himself down and looked at Qing, who was obediently lying in the cat bed. Only then did he realize that there was a cohabiting cat in his room that only came home once every ten days or half a month. He couldn't help but tease him, "Hey, silly cat, you still know how to come home?"
Daqing stared at him with disdain, opened his mouth, and showed his sharp teeth, "I should be the one asking you that, right?
You came back so late, and you reeked of alcohol. Which little fairy did you go to hang out with? "
Bai Yu raised her hand and poked him, "What, you're trying to control me?
Can't daddy have a little nightlife? "
Daqing rolled its eyes at him, jumped out of the cat bed, shook the shiny black fur on its fat body, and walked to Bai Yu with its not-so-standard cat steps. It circled around him, leaned closer, and sniffed.
"Achoo!"
It sneezed and suddenly turned into a human. It frowned and looked confused, "Strange, it's not the smell of a stranger. It's a little familiar."
Bai Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his reaction. He casually smacked him on the head and walked over to his bed to lie down. "I'm just going over to Teacher Shen's place to get closer to her. What's with your reaction?"
"Mr. Shen?"
Daqing realized that the smell was indeed from Shen Wei. He tilted his head in confusion, "When did you become so familiar with him?"
Bai Yu realized that she had unintentionally mentioned Zhu Yilong. She was slightly stunned, and then said casually, "That's how familiar we are!
We've dealt with him so many times.
You haven't been back for a while. Don't you know that he moved in across from us? "
Daqing suddenly opened his eyes wide, walked quickly to the bed, and sat down, "What?
He moved in across from us? "
"Yes."
Seeing Bai Yu's indifferent look, Daqing suddenly frowned, reached out, and rubbed his chin, "Lao Zhao, don't you think this is a little strange?"
"How is it strange?"
"He's always been suspicious!"
Daqing analyzed, "You see, he's been involved in Li's case, and then the skinned woman's case.
Now that he's moved in across from us, he might be up to something! "
"Ha!
What could he be up to? "Bai Yu snorted disapprovingly. Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, the system suddenly sounded:
[OOC Warning!
Host —]
Bai Yu was quick-witted, and quickly tapped the feather mark on her wrist to shut it up. Then, under Daqing's suspicious gaze, she smiled awkwardly, casually scratched her wrist a few times, and changed the topic, "Well, I also know that he's very suspicious, but in the end, it was confirmed that he had nothing to do with the two cases.
Now that he's moved in across from us, it's useless for the two of us to guess what he's up to!
That's why I took the initiative to get in touch with him and see what he's up to! "
The flashing red warning on the system flashed, and finally disappeared.
Bai Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Daqing, who seemed to be deep in thought. She raised her eyebrows, "What are you thinking about?"
"I keep feeling that... that Mr. Shen looks strangely familiar."
Daqing scratched her hair in annoyance, "Unfortunately, I just can't remember where I've seen him before."
Seeing her distressed expression, Bai Yu opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Of course, he knew what Daqing's lost memories were, but this kind of thing couldn't come out of his mouth, so he could only comfort her by kicking her.
"Alright, don't force yourself to think about things that you can't remember!
When the time comes, you'll naturally remember what you should remember. "
Daqing was almost kicked off the bed by him, but she wasn't angry. She simply jumped to the foot of the bed, turned around, and found a comfortable sitting position, "You're right, I don't have to think about it if I can't remember, but Lao Zhao, I have to remind you that Mr. Shen has been trying to make himself known recently. He might have a motive, so you have to be careful!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Bai Yu snorted and crossed her arms under her head.
Now that the alcohol had returned to him, he couldn't help but yawn and start to feel sleepy.
Seeing him like this, it didn't seem like he cared about her words at all. Daqing rolled her eyes helplessly, lifted her foot, and kicked his leg, "Hey!
Don't turn your head and forget about it!
I think that guy is probably here for you. Who knows when he will sell you out! "
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Bai Yu turned over to avoid the cat's foot, closed his eyes, and muttered, "If he's not after me, who else would he be after?
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. "Then, she rubbed the pillow and prepared to sleep.
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Daqing was helpless. She scratched her head and sighed, "Forget it!
I can't be bothered to care about you.
When that guy really chews you up and swallows you whole, I'll see what you're going to do then! "
"Hmph!" Bai Yu snorted. He felt that Qing Qing's analogy was both funny and boring. He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. He didn't even open his eyes. He reached out and pulled the blanket over with familiarity. He covered himself carelessly and fell asleep.
Seeing him like this, Daqing didn't say anything else. She shook her head, turned into a cat, and jumped out of bed. She walked to the window, hooked her tail, and opened the window. She said, "I still have an appointment, so I'll leave first." Then, she jumped out of the window and left.
Bai Yu didn't care about her. Cats had always had a rich nightlife. It would be strange if she didn't behave herself.
Besides, he wasn't used to having another person by his bed. If Daqing took the initiative to leave, he could have a good night's sleep.
...
"Today is the seventh day."
The next morning, when Bai Yu went to have breakfast as usual, he suddenly heard Zhu Yilong say something that didn't make sense.
He immediately reacted and hurriedly calculated. Sure enough, today was the seventh day. If there were no accidents, they should return to the real world tonight.
"Do we have enough contribution points?"
Bai Yu opened the system panel and saw that they had a total of 1090 contribution points. It was just enough to pay back the contribution points. He was relieved, but then he shook his head speechlessly.
"I thought we could earn more contribution points this time. I didn't expect that we would only have two digits left after the settlement. It's just a little more than last time." As he spoke, he gestured with his finger. Obviously, he wasn't satisfied with the result.
Zhu Yilong was very open-minded. "The big prize is still in the future.
When we come back next time, it won't take more than two days for the cooking mission to be completed. Then, we'll have 500 contribution points. "
"That's right. This is the result of our Chef Long's many days of hard work!"
Bai Yu grinned and picked up some shredded potatoes with his chopsticks. He gestured at Zhu Yilong and then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed contentedly.
After a few days of practice, Zhu Yilong's cooking skills had improved a lot. At least, he could make some simple dishes very well.
Especially dishes like shredded potatoes and stir-fried potatoes, which could be easily made as long as he had the tools.
Therefore, for the past two days, the food on their table was no longer all kinds of instant noodles. Instead, there was a lot more variety.
Seeing that Bai Yu was making fun of him, Zhu Yilong ignored him. He tapped the side of the plate with his chopsticks and said, "Hurry up and eat!
You're going to be late. "
"Yes, sir!"
Bai Yu grinned and saluted. He finished the porridge in his bowl in a few mouthfuls and then stood up. "I'm done!
Brother Long, do you want me to give you a ride? "
"No need. We're not going the same way." Zhu Yilong rejected him directly.
The Special Investigation Department and Longcheng University did not overlap much with this place. It was especially far from Longcheng University. Therefore, Zhu Yilong simply teleported there every time because time was tight. It was low-carbon and environmentally friendly.
"Then I'll go first!"
Bai Yu knew this habit of his. After being rejected, he casually threw a wink and left.
Bai Yu went downstairs and drove all the way to the Special Investigation Department. As soon as he entered, he saw a group of people eating something at the table.
There was a sweet smell in the air. He sniffed, coughed lightly, and walked over.
Hearing the noise from the door, everyone hurriedly looked over. Seeing that it was him, Daqing rolled his eyes and said, "Yo, you have a good nose!"
Bai Yu ignored his teasing and jumped onto the table. He took a handful of popcorn from the machine on the table and said, "I have fate with this. Even if we're thousands of miles apart, it still feels like we're right next to each other!"
As he spoke, he threw a piece of popcorn into his mouth. After chewing it, he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. "Not bad, it's delicious!"
Zhu Hong rolled her eyes at him and knocked on the table with the folder in her hand. "Hey, hey, hey! Don't just focus on eating!
We have important matters to attend to! "
Wenyan Baiyu raised his eyebrows and threw another piece of popcorn into his mouth. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhu Hong slid the folder across the table. Bai Yu pressed it down and picked it up. He flipped through it and instantly knew which case it was about.
Last night, Huang Linqi, the only son of Huang Chaoyang, who was ranked first on the Machinery Industry Rich List, went missing in the bathroom of his house. This morning, the police sent the file to them and said that this matter was very strange. They hoped that they could help find Huang Linqi and find the murderer.
Calculating the time, it was indeed about time for this case.
However, when he thought about what the leaders of the Huang family and the Li family had done in this case, Bai Yu lost interest.
He snorted and glanced at the records in the file. After confirming that it was no different from what was in the movie, he closed the file with a "pa" sound and said, "It's too late.
"Let's go!
Let's go to the crime scene and take a look. "
