Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jin paused for a moment, then used a chop to knock the man unconscious to the ground.

Then the others did the same; as soon as they got close to Yan Jin, she knocked them unconscious.

Qiao Chusheng glanced at the people lying on the ground: "Are you alright?"

Yan Jin sheathed the dagger and shook her head slightly.

"Thank you for reminding us!"

"No need, I promised to protect you."

Hearing the noise, Lu Yao came out: "A beauty saves the hero, Detective Qiao is so lucky!"

“We saved you too,” Qiao Chuli said, straightening her clothes.

"I only went into danger so that you could solve the case."

"You're right. Let's go back and call someone."

After finishing up here, the next morning, while the two were having breakfast, Qiao Chusheng said, "Take a day off today, I have something to do!"

Yan Jin didn't ask any further questions and nodded, "Okay!"

Seeing her indifferent expression, Qiao Chusheng smiled and said, "How about I find you some books to read? But you probably don't know how to read modern characters, so let's find someone to teach you."

"Thank you." Yan Jin did not refuse; this was exactly what she needed right now.

Although she recognized them, even if she wasn't entirely clear on some of the details, the translator she had bought before still worked.

However, in order to maintain a certain persona, there still needs to be a learning process.

"Your reminder yesterday saved us, so there's no need to be so polite."

Yan Jin nodded and said nothing more.

After dinner, Qiao Chusheng drove to the Bai family home to meet Old Master Bai.

"Has Youning moved out?"

Qiao Chusheng replied, "I can't move for now, that apartment building is nice!"

"What kind of behavior is it for a man and a woman to live together alone!"

"Youning seems to be in good condition right now, let's wait and see!"

Bai Qili thought for a moment and said, "I heard you have a female bodyguard who is living in your house!"

"Yes, she's quite skilled," Qiao Chusheng nodded.

"Have you investigated their identity and background? Who are they?"

"She's an orphan, nothing special. We just kept her around to work because she's skilled!"

Qiao Chusheng didn't tell the truth; he secretly didn't want to tell anyone about Yan Jin.

"As long as you know what's going on."

"Don't worry, I understand."

In the afternoon, Yan Jin finally met the person who would teach her to read; it was a female teacher.

After studying for an afternoon, her teacher smiled and said, "Miss Yan, you are very smart and learn very quickly."

"Thank you," Yan Jin said calmly.

The female teacher didn't mind her coldness and continued teaching.

Yan Jin studied like this for an afternoon, and Qiao Chusheng came back for dinner in the evening.

How did your afternoon study go?

"pretty good!"

"I'm glad you can adapt. By the way, I prepared some clothes and shoes for you and had them delivered to you. Would you like to pick something out?" Qiao Chusheng said, looking at the clothes she was wearing.

Yan Jin shook her head: "Anything that allows for easy movement is fine."

She has no requirements for clothes and doesn't care about the style.

Yeah, right. That was the original owner of the body. She herself still prefers things that look good.

"Alright, have them all sent over to you."

"You don't need too many, two sets will be enough!"

Including the outfit I'm wearing, three sets of clothes are enough.

She's maintained her persona perfectly, no problem at all.

"Not many, but you'll need some clothes for special occasions."

Yan Jin didn't care and nodded: "The money will be deducted from my salary."

"Okay." Qiao Chusheng agreed verbally, but in reality, those clothes were much more expensive than a bodyguard's monthly salary.

He didn't care about the money, so he didn't say anything more.

Early in the morning, Yan Jin got up and took a wooden stick to practice martial arts in the courtyard.

Her eyes were icy, her movements fluid and graceful, and she seemed to exude a murderous aura.

After finishing her routine, she glanced at Qiao Chusheng watching her from upstairs.

Qiao Chusheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Impressive skills. Would you mind coming out with me later?"

"I'll change my clothes after I shower."

The two arrived at Lu Yao's apartment building, where Bai Youning was also there.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yao asked.

Bai Youning said with a smile, "Brother Chusheng, you live with your bodyguard!"

"Hmm, is something wrong?" Qiao Chusheng asked.

Lu Yao became interested and said with a smile, "Close protection, huh? An ice-cold beauty bodyguard and her delicate detective employer."

"Haha, Lu Yao, you can go write storybooks now." Bai Youning laughed.

Qiao Chusheng glanced at them speechlessly: "I'm here today on important business."

Yan Jin glanced coldly at the two of them, stood aside without saying a word, and silently surveyed the room.

Lu Yao and Bai Youning finally stopped laughing; they had actually made some careless remarks in front of the person in question.

"Hahaha, host, I think Lu Yao is right! You two are exactly this kind of persona right now!" Xiao Qi laughed out loud in the space.

"Is Qiao Chusheng delicate? I can't tell."

"In the face of your current persona of being a highly skilled martial artist, he is just a delicate weakling. You can push him over, hahaha."

Yan Jin was speechless: "You've been reading too many novels too?"

"Hehe, I just read a book called 'The Young Lady's Personal Bodyguard'."

"..."

"What important matter?" Lu Yao changed the subject.

Qiao Chusheng began, “There’s a case where the deceased was a section chief in the police department. The cause of death is unknown. His head was severed, there were bullet holes in the ceiling, but the doors and windows were locked from the inside, and no one had entered or left the room.”

"A locked-room murder case, how exciting!" Bai Youning said.

"Mr. Lu, name your price."

"No, I won't take this job. The patrol station is in the concession, and the police station is in the Chinese-controlled area. The relationship between them is obviously complicated."

"This case needs to be solved as soon as possible; the price is negotiable!"

“Hey, we’re all brothers, talking about money is so vulgar. I think your watch is pretty good!” Lu Yao said, looking at the watch on Qiao Chusheng’s wrist.

Sensing that he was after his watch, Qiao Chusheng tapped his palate with the tip of his tongue: "This was a gift from my friend. If you like it, I can order one for you. It will arrive in a month."

Yan Jin's gaze lingered on the watch for two seconds before she looked away.

Noticing her gaze, Qiao Chusheng touched his watch, thinking that she also needed to tell time, so he could buy her a women's watch.

Yan Jin was just maintaining her persona of curiosity; she had no other intentions.

"Oh, I see. Never mind then!" Lu Yao said with a puzzled look.

Qiao Chusheng held back and didn't say anything.

In the end, Lu Yao got the watch, looking smug: "You know what, this watch is really nice. Was it a gift from a male or female friend?"

Qiao Chusheng didn't want to pay attention to him, but when he caught a glimpse of the figure next to him, he blurted out, "It was given by a man."

"A man gave you such an expensive watch, what's your relationship?"

"What's wrong with friends giving each other watches? It's a reciprocal gesture," Qiao Chusheng said casually.

"Such a generous friend, could you introduce me to him?"

"Let's go, the case is urgent!" Qiao Chusheng changed the subject.

When they arrived at the crime scene, they saw a headless corpse.

"Wow, the latest model of gramophone!" Lu Yao's eyes lit up as soon as he entered, and he walked over to the gramophone on the side.
