Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

"If it's really as you said, then I can't let only you and Lieqing go. We just go to find Gray Mouse and see what's going on. If there really is someone behind it, then we will withdraw directly and not intervene too much. After you report to the department, see what they say and whether they want to send other people. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous for only the three of us." Liu Yuanyuan expressed her thoughts.

Tang Ziji looked at Liu Yuanyuan with a complicated expression. He had to admit that what Yuanyuan said made sense. But he hadn't thought about it that much earlier. He just wanted to find the gray mouse and get some follow-up clues, but he hadn't considered the situation he and Lie Qing would face if the person behind it was the real person.

I was just thinking about it and was ready to act. I was a little impulsive. I was used to following clues during this period and didn't encounter any danger, so my vigilance was a little relaxed. I always felt that they were just objects and would not touch any decisive people.

But this time it is indeed different. If the person who can subdue those big gray rats is really not simple, it must be very difficult. I am afraid that I can't catch them with just myself and Liu Yuanyuan.

He nodded and said, "Okay, let's forget about it today. When your second brother comes later, we'll eat and go home first. We'll talk about this after the New Year."

This time he didn't raise any objections and just nodded in agreement.

After that, Tang Ziji turned his attention to Lie Qing.

"Lieqing, you just said that the smell in this room has returned to normal. What did you smell in this room before?"

Lie Qing glanced at Liu Yuanyuan, and Lie Yuanyuan followed Tang Ziji's words and looked at Lie Qing. Seeing Lie Qing looking at her, she nodded at Lie Qing.

Lieqing described the smell again that he had described to Liu Yuanyuan when he first entered the house.

After listening to Lie Qing's description, Tang Ziji smiled slightly: "It seems that Lie Qing's sense of smell has been enhanced by your Qi. Although its eyes can't see those messy things, its sense of smell can smell those invisible things. This deathly aura is indeed that smell."

Lie Qing's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Tang Ziji's words. He excitedly wagged his tail and looked at Liu Yuanyuan. It wasn't that he hadn't developed his abilities, but rather that his abilities hadn't been discovered. Then he could still stay by Yuanyuan's side.

Liu Yuanyuan also looked as if she had suddenly realized something. No wonder Lie Qing was the only one who found Wang Mengmeng when she ran away. It had found Wang Mengmeng through smell. It turned out that Lie Qing's sense of smell was enhanced, a natural ability of the dog, so she had overlooked it.

But there must be a reason, a selfish motive. Even when she went to report to Tang Ziji's unit, she didn't want to take Lie Qingqing with her. She wanted Lie Qingqing to stay and protect her parents for her.

But now, looking at Lie Qing's expectant eyes, he actually hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a hesitant voice sounded.

"Yuanyuan, are you... in there?"

Lu Mingtian came to bring him food, Tang Ziji quickly stood up, walked to the door and opened it. The moment Lu Mingtian saw Tang Ziji outside the door, he was stunned.

Tang Ziji ignored Lu Mingtian's stunned expression, reached out to take the two plastic bags from Lu Mingtian's hand, turned around and walked inside.

Lu Mingtian finally reacted, frowning with dissatisfaction, and wanted to follow him, saying, "Why are you here?"

Tang Ziji said without turning his head, "This is the site for arrangements. You'd better not come in. Go back to your car. We'll meet up with you when we're done here."

When Lu Mingtian heard that this was the crime scene, he immediately stopped moving his foot on the stairs.

But he didn't turn around and leave, instead he looked inside. The house was so small that he could see Liu Yuanyuan sitting on the bed.

Liu Yuanyuan smiled weakly at him and waved her hand: "Don't worry, brother. Tang Ziji is here to help me. I'll come find you after I finish eating."

But Lu Mingtian was still worried. He frowned and insisted on hearing Liu Yuanyuan's explanation: "Why is he here? I'm worried about leaving you here alone."

Liu Yuanyuan knew that Lu Mingtian was doing this for her own good, so she smiled and explained, "He's an art student, and I asked him to come over to help. There's something here that I need him to identify. The police have also filed a case, so you can rest assured."

Although Lu Mingtian was still worried, he didn't say anything more after hearing what Liu Yuan said. Instead, he retracted his foot from the steps, turned around, picked up two more plastic bags from the ground, and shook them towards Tang Ziji: "These are the clothes Yuanyuan asked me to bring. There is also some food in this bag. You can take them in."

After saying that, he still glanced at Liu Yuanyuan with concern: "Is it really true that you don't need my second brother to stay here with you?"

Liu Yuanyuan shook her head: "Second brother, you are an ordinary person. I am afraid that you will be infected with something bad. Just go back to the car and wait for us."

Lu Mingtian wanted to ask, then why aren't you afraid of being contaminated by Tang Ziji, but he opened his mouth and didn't ask the question in the end.

After all, their engagement party was going to be held in two days. He really had no reason to complain. If the two of them could truly have a harmonious relationship, he, as the second brother, should be happy.

So after Tang Ziji took the things, he turned around and left. But after taking two steps, he remembered that something was wrong. His sister was only 16 years old, and he was still a little worried about this single man and woman. So he turned around and prepared to go back, but saw that the door was closed again.

Looking at the cordon around the house, he gritted his teeth, went back to the car to get a thick coat and put it on, took out a pack of cigarettes and put it in his pocket, then went back to the intersection next to the Zhejiang School's house and squatted down.

He lit a cigarette and started puffing away.

Looking at the rising smoke, Lu Mingtian sighed inwardly. Although his adopted sister looked like a 16-year-old girl, her behavior was completely unlike that of a child her age. Could this be the so-called "poor children grow up early"?

Think about Lu Meichen. Although they are the same age, they also have many little thoughts and tricks, but no matter how you look at it, they are just children's quarrels. Sometimes when he is with Liu Yuanyuan, he feels like they are his peers. He even subconsciously believes what he says.

But judging by the situation today, I'm afraid there are still many unknown sides to my sister. And in this family, I'm probably the one who knows the most.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingtian felt inexplicably proud and began to like Liu Yuanyuan even more.
