Hearing Bai Tan'er's voice, Jiang Jiang was stunned for a moment.

As if afraid that Jiang Jiang didn't believe her, Bai Tan'er beside her intentionally or unintentionally released a little bit of her internal energy, which was very domineering.

"I'm such a good person." Bai Tan'er pitifully whispered in Jiang Jiang's ear, "The people from the Divine Constable's Office are very fierce. Just take me in. I can protect you! I guarantee you won't suffer any harm!"

Why is this person... so weird?

Jiang Jiang glanced at her and finally took Bai Tan'er with her.

Although this guy has some problems, he shouldn't do anything wrong in the Gu Mansion, and... what if he really needs her?

Seeing that Jiang Jiang didn't chase her away, Bai Tan'er immediately smiled and took her arm and followed her.

Who would want to hide on the roof and eavesdrop when they can enjoy the show openly in the front row?

Humph.

Sister, I am no longer the Bai Tan'er who was only fit to lie on the roof!

…………

The three of them followed Yun Ling all the way to the reception room of the Gu Mansion.

Gu Yanhuan had been waiting there for a long time, and beside her stood Mu Kang with an elegant smile on his face.

"I'm Ma Xiaoqi, the Divine Detective, nice to meet you, Miss Gu!" The girl from the Divine Detective Department respectfully introduced herself after entering the room.

"You... hello."

Gu Yanhuan was very nervous at first, but soon she saw Jiang Jiang and Bai Tan'er coming in with Ma Xiaoqi, and her eyes suddenly lit up -

Jiang Jiang is here! That's great!

Wait, wait a minute.

Gu Yanhuan's eyes fell on Jiang Jiang's arm, because Bai Tan'er beside her had been holding Jiang Jiang's arm affectionately.

No matter how you look at it, it’s an eyesore!

Gu Yanhuan: Is my status as the eldest daughter in the family in jeopardy again?

Well, why say "again"?

"Jiang Jiang, who is she?"

Gu Yanhuan stood up and walked quickly to Jiang Jiang's side. Then he pulled up her other arm and looked at Bai Tan'er with a wary look on his face.

what?

Jiang Jiang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Her name is Bai Tan'er, a friend I just met."

Just met? It's okay if you just met me.

After hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Gu Yanhuan nodded, but then he felt something was wrong——

Were you so close just after meeting?

She couldn't help but stare at Bai Tan'er.

Bai Tan'er only felt a chill on her body——

Why do these two siblings from the Gu family look at people in such a scary way?

It was as if he was going to kill her with a knife.

"Hello, Miss Gu."

Bai Tan'er gritted her teeth and greeted Gu Yanhuan.

Gu Yanhuan just nodded coldly, his eyes still on Bai Tan'er's hand.

Ah this...

Bai Tan'er looked puzzled. She tried to loosen the hand that had been holding Jiang Jiang's arm. Then, she found that Gu Yanhuan's eyes when he looked at her immediately softened a lot.

Bai Tan'er: ...

The possessiveness of you Gu family members is really strong!

Bai Tan'er was complaining in her heart when she suddenly heard Ma Xiaoqi's embarrassed voice from the side.

"I say, shouldn't you pay attention to me?"

Ma Xiaoqi felt as if he had accidentally entered some strange Shura field.

Obviously, she just came to the Gu Mansion to investigate the case!

Hearing Ma Xiaoqi's voice, Gu Yanhuan suddenly remembered that there was an annoying detective standing next to him. He then said coldly, "Detective Ma, I wonder what's the matter with you suddenly visiting me?"

"I've been ordered to investigate the Mantanghong incident." Seeing that Gu Yanhuan was finally willing to pay attention to him, Ma Xiaoqi immediately spoke quickly, "We received a report yesterday that someone colluded with charlatans to maliciously fabricate rumors and spread the news that Mantanghong was haunted."

"What? Is Mantanghong haunted?" Gu Yanhuan's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing Ma Xiaoqi's words, a look of disbelief on his face. "I've been taking care of my brother's illness lately and have barely left the house, so I had no idea something like this had happened in the capital during this time!"

Speaking of this, Gu Yanhuan seemed to be a little frightened: "I wanted to do business with my sisters some time ago, and I also had my eyes on Mantanghong. I didn't expect something like this to happen!"

"That's right, this charlatan really lacks moral integrity."

Seeing Gu Yanhuan's sudden burst of acting skills, Jiang Jiang beside her immediately followed her rhythm, holding Gu Yanhuan's hand and comforting her: "Fortunately, we didn't buy the full house at that time, otherwise we would have lost a lot of money."

In this era, there are no surveillance cameras on the streets, and no one can prove that they went to the gate of Mantanghong to watch the excitement yesterday, so they just pretended not to know, and the people from the Shenbu Division could do nothing to them.

These two people...

The acting is pretty good.

Bai Tan'er watched with great interest.

It feels different to stand in the front row and eat melons!

…………

Ma Xiaoqi didn't interrupt Gu Yanhuan and Jiang Jiang's impromptu performance. After the two of them had comforted each other, Ma Xiaoqi smiled at them and said, "So, Miss Gu knows nothing about the Mantanghong incident?"

"Well, I really didn't know anything about this before. This matter... is all thanks to you, Detective Ma, for telling me." Gu Yanhuan said, still with a lingering fear on his face: "Swindlers are too rampant nowadays. Detective Ma, you must arrest that swindler as soon as possible!"

In fact, before Ma Xiaoqi came, Mu Kang had already taught Gu Yanhuan how to deal with it.

At the beginning, Gu Yanhuan was really nervous, but now with Jiang Jiang acting with her, Gu Yanhuan acted much more naturally.

Sure enough, staying with Jiang Jiang all the time helped my acting skills improve unconsciously.

Isn't it just a lie? It doesn't seem that difficult.

Ma Xiaoqi glanced at Gu Yanhuan, seemingly wary of her identity. She didn't ask any further questions, but quickly set her gaze on Jiang Jiang's face: "Then...what about this Miss Jiang?"

"I?"

Jiang Jiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ma Xiaoqi with a puzzled expression: "What do I have to do here?"

"Miss Jiang Jiang, right? You seem to be getting pretty close to Zhang Fugui from Mingyue Tower lately."

When Ma Xiaoqi was just outside the door, she really didn't recognize Jiang Jiang. It was only after she entered the room and heard Gu Yanhuan calling Jiang Jiang's name that she matched her with the person in the intelligence.

If Jiang Jiang hadn't happened to appear here, Ma Xiaoqi would have planned to go to Muwa Lane to find her next.

Because according to the Meng family, the person who competed with them for the shop in Mantanghong was brought by Zhang Fugui, and that person was called "Master Jiang".

Ma Xiaoqi thought that the so-called Mr. Jiang was actually the little girl in front of him, right?

"I'm a bit of a glutton. I just love Mingyue Tower's Eight Treasure Duck. I like eating duck. This... isn't illegal, right?"

Seeing Ma Xiaoqi suddenly pointing the finger at herself, Jiang Jiang raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a smile: "Besides, I want to do business with Lao Zhang. It's not a big deal to have more dealings with him, right?"

"Doing business?"

Ma Xiaoqi listened to Jiang Jiang's words and nodded. "You two are doing business as usual, so of course we at the Divine Constables have no business interfering. But you also had your eyes on Mantanghong at first, but Meng Haowen suddenly intervened and you didn't buy the shop. We have reason to suspect that you were unable to buy the shop and have been holding a grudge against it, so you fabricated the rumors about fox demons and ghosts, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge."
