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

Looking at Qiao Chusheng, who was panting and reaching out his hand towards him, and seemed a little weak.

A smile flashed deep in Yan Jin's eyes, unseen by anyone. She walked over, helped the person up, and then let go.

"I didn't hit you too hard!" she said, then turned and left.

Given the original owner's personality, he shouldn't have been unable to see that he was doing it on purpose, and as his employer, he couldn't afford to give him no face.

Qiao Chusheng rubbed his fingers, recalling the sensation from just now, and looked at her back as a smile appeared on his lips.

He muttered to himself, "Has she seen through me?"

Yan Jin returned to the bathroom in her room, filled the bathtub with water, and went in for a bath.

"Host, were you tempted just now?" Xiao Qi asked cheekily.

"Even if my heart is moved, I can't act on it; my public image can't collapse."

"Host is so dedicated, hehe."

Yan Jin closed her eyes, feeling the warm water wash away her fatigue.

Xiao Qi's voice was also hypnotic, making people a little drowsy.

After soaking in the water until it cooled down, she dried herself, put on her pajamas, and went to her room to get a bottle of red wine and a wine glass.

"Xiao Qi, let's put on a movie!" Yan Jin said.

"What type does the host want?"

"Let's watch a romantic movie; something gentle and healing is perfect for an evening."

"Ok."

Fortunately, when no one is around, I don't have to maintain a persona and I can be myself.

Time flew by, and Yan Jin stayed by Qiao Chusheng's side as his bodyguard for a month.

On this day, a fire broke out in the Tan family mansion, but the victim, Old Master Tan, drowned in the pond. Qiao Chusheng and Lu Yao felt that his death was suspicious.

However, due to his special status, according to the rules of the underworld, he could not be dissected at will.

We could only start by investigating the people around them; there were three people who had contact with the victim that day.

One is the housekeeper, Lao He; another is the old man's mistress, Luo Shanni; and the third is the old man's youngest son, Tan Xing.

All three had alibis, and their testimonies matched.

Roxanne fell down the stairs that day and was carried out unconscious.

Butler He said he went to bed early last night.

Tan Xing said he went home last night, but left very early.

After they returned, Lu Yao said, "It's possible that the three of them colluded to cover for each other."

Qiao Chusheng said nothing, only stating, "There is no evidence right now!"

That night, Qiao Chusheng was going to meet up with Lu Yao and they planned to go to the scene to look for clues.

Before leaving, Qiao Chusheng looked at Yan Jin and said, "It's so late? You should stay home!"

Yan Jin thought about the plot and how he would be in danger tonight: "No need, I'll go too, let's go!"

After saying that, she walked out. Qiao Chusheng, feeling helpless, smiled and followed her.

They picked up Lu Yao by car and headed towards the Tan residence.

Lu Yao looked at the person in the passenger seat: "Yan Jin is going too?"

"Mm," she replied indifferently.

"What? Worried that Old Qiao might be in danger?" Lu Yao said with a grin.

"His safety is within my duty," Yan Jin said expressionlessly.

Lu Yao smiled meaningfully: "Old Qiao, look how dedicated he is, he deserves a raise!"

"We absolutely have to add it!" Qiao Chusheng said with a smile.

Yan Jin didn't say anything; she only cared about fighting and ignored everything else.

Upon arriving at the location, the car stopped at the entrance, and Qiao Chusheng said, "Let's go in and talk first!"

Yan Jin opened the car door and got out, waiting for them to walk inside together.

This is a very large house, and it looks very luxuriously decorated.

However, there is no one inside now, and it has been burned down. There is a burnt smell when you go in, and it looks a bit gloomy.

The three of them, with flashlights in hand, first observed the first floor to see if there were any clues.

Yan Jin knew that Lu Yao would find clues soon, so she just glanced at the list.

The ground was covered in ashes, which would be kicked up as you walked.

"Be careful not to get dust on my shoes. These are high-end handmade custom-made shoes. I waited two months to buy them."

Lu Yao said to Qiao Chusheng with a pretentious expression.

Qiao Chusheng glanced at him speechlessly, and was about to speak when Yan Jin pulled the two apart.

A piece of wood fell from the ceiling and landed where the two had just been standing.

"Be careful, watch your head," she said.

Qiao Chusheng nodded, then looked at Lu Yao: "You're only thinking about the shoes, not your head!"

"That's because you guys are here. I'm not as quick-witted as you guys," Lu Yao said matter-of-factly.

Yan Jin ignored them and shone her flashlight around.

"Host, this looks like a horror movie set?"

"A dilapidated mansion and a wronged ghost could be the subject of a horror novel."

"Yes!"

“Interesting!” Lu Yao squatted down, looked at the pillar of the stairs, and spoke.

Qiao Chusheng and Yan Jin walked to his side and looked at that spot.

"What did you find?"

Lu Yao touched the marks on it and said, "There are marks on this where fishing line has been used."

"So it seems that Rosanne's fall down the stairs was not an accident, but rather deliberate?" Qiao Chusheng said.

"That's right, that should be it!"

They continued walking inside. Lu Yao looked at the marks on the ground, squatted down, and rubbed them: "This isn't ash from burning, it's mud!"

"mud?"

Just then, a person jumped out from the side and was about to kick Lu Yao.

Yan Jin kicked him, and the man was thrown against the cabinet next to him.

With a loud bang, Qiao Chusheng realized what was happening and was about to walk over.

Yan Jin stepped forward, stomped on the person on the ground, and seeing that the person was still struggling, she warned in an icy tone: "Move again, and you will die."

She stomped her foot so hard that the person on the ground felt as if their ribs were about to break.

Qiao Chusheng walked up to the man and took off his face mask.

"Butler He, it's you!"

"Detective Qiao, I never thought I would be no match for you." Butler He said as he lay on the ground, being stepped on.

Qiao Chusheng looked at Yan Jin and said with a smile, "Let him go and take him back first."

Yan Jin withdrew her foot, and Qiao Chusheng escorted Steward He back.

On the way, Lu Yao said, "I didn't expect you to be so skilled, Yan Jin?"

"That's why I told you not to mess with her, or I'll let you experience what it feels like to have a broken bone," Qiao Chusheng said with a smile.

Yan Jin glanced at them indifferently and said nothing.

Lu Yao looked frightened and hugged himself, saying, "No way, Yan Jin doesn't seem like the type to act rashly."

"Haha, you talk too much. She doesn't like noise." Qiao Chusheng laughed.

"Really?" Lu Yao looked at Yan Jin to confirm.

Yan Jin's eyes remained calm: "You can be quiet."

Lu Yao's smile froze instantly, and he obediently shut his mouth.

"Hahaha, host, look how scared you've made someone!"

"I'd rather use my hands than my words!"

Back at the patrol room, Steward He refused to admit it, saying they had no evidence.

Finally, they had the body dissected, and Lu Yao deduced that Tan Xing was the murderer and Butler He was an accomplice.

After a busy night, Qiao Chusheng and Lu Yao were going to see Old Master Bai. He said to Yan Jin, "Go back and rest. You've been busy all night."
