The right way to pretend to be inscrutable

"I'm Cheng Xiangdong, and I'm fully responsible for investigating this case." Cheng Xiangdong reached out and shook hands with Nakano Kiyota - as early as when he first took over the case, he had carefully read the files of Nakano Ichiro, and naturally knew his only heir, Nakano Seita, "Mr. Nakano, hello, you just said that you don't agree with our investigation results, what's going on?"

"I'm very sorry. It's not that I don't believe in your sincerity. It's just that this result was too abrupt." Nakano Seita spoke respectfully, but his attitude was extremely tough. "Although my grandfather is old, he has always been in good health and has never had a history of heart disease. So please forgive me for not being able to agree with the results of this investigation.”

Cheng Xiangdong also knew that this matter could not end simply, and he was not surprised by Nakano Seita's reaction.He secretly waved his hand towards Chu Yao, expressing that he would start working and could not continue to talk with him. Then he walked up to Nakano Kiyota, and whispered to him the process and results of his investigation in detail.

Chu Yao tactfully backed away, walked back to Bai Duan, and led him to the elevator beside him.But Bai Duan turned his head to look at Cheng Xiangdong and Nakano Qingta, with a puzzled expression on his face: "We... just left like this?"

"Well, it's not time for us to get together." Chu Yao nodded.

"Then what are we going to do next?" Bai Duan blinked.

"What are you going to do? Of course to eat." Chu Yao blinked with a smile, "Didn't I tell Cheng Xiangdong just now that I want to take you to Yongyi Court to eat delicious food?"

"Are you really going? Isn't it an excuse to fool him?" Bai Duan was surprised.

"Of course not." Chu Yao raised his eyebrows, "Why, don't you want to try it?"

"...Think." Bai Duan was silent for a moment, but after all, she couldn't resist the temptation, and simply bowed her head to the delicious food.

Yong Yi Ting's Jiangnan cuisine is indeed full of color, fragrance, and delicate and beautiful, which is completely different from Li Ma's home-cooked dishes. It is not so much a meal as it is more like a plate of art.

Bai Duan ate very happily, but in his mind, the food here is still not as good as Chu Yao's craftsmanship. ".

Regarding Bai Duan's question, Chu Yao didn't say much, just smiled and rolled his eyes, and promised in a good mood that he would cook a few more meals when he had time to satisfy Bai Duan's hunger.

While eating and chatting, the atmosphere of the meal was very good, not long after, all the food was swept away by Bai Duan and Chu Yao.

Touching her belly, which didn't feel full, Bai Duan wanted to get up and leave, but unexpectedly, Chu Yao raised her hand to stop her: "Wait for a while, sit down and digest."

Bai Duan, who didn't need to digest at all, had a dazed expression, but still sat down obediently again. It was not until four or five minutes later that Chu Yao put away the mobile phone in his hand and stood up: "You can go."

Bai Duan couldn't keep up with Chu Yao's train of thought at all, followed him into the elevator in a daze, and pressed the button to go to the first floor.The elevator started, fell, and then stopped on the twelfth floor. Cheng Xiangdong walked into the elevator with a stack of documents, and took a photo with Chu Yao.

Bai Duan blinked, glanced at Chu Yao who had an "accident" on his face, and finally realized that it was not an "accident" but a "man-made".

"Finish?" Cheng Xiangdong greeted Chu Yao and Bai Duan, and asked with a smile.

"Well, I just finished eating." Chu Yao nodded, "What about you? The work is not over yet?"

"It's early!" Cheng Xiangdong's expression was a little helpless, "Nakano Kiyota doesn't believe our investigation results, and he is also sending people to investigate. I don't know how long it will last!" After a pause, he muttered again, "However, in my opinion, it's useless to toss any more. Nakano Ichiro must have suffered an accident! I've been in this business for so many years, when did my vision go wrong?"

"For so many years?" Chu Yao cursed with a smile, "I'm not afraid that the wind will flash his tongue!" Immediately, his expression changed, "Xiangdong, for the sake of friends, let me remind you— — This matter is indeed unusual, you have to be careful with that ancient sword."

"The ancient sword? The ancient sword that Nakano Ichiro just photographed?" Cheng Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, and his expression became serious.He knew that Chu Yao was definitely not the kind of person who was aimless. Since he opened his mouth, there must be a reason.Moreover, when Cheng Xiangdong climbed to his current position, he did know some weird accidents that cannot be explained by science—these accidents are generally stored as top secret files and will not be released to the public, so as not to affect the stability of social order, or even , The police occasionally cooperate with some folk "masters" to use the power of the other party to solve some strange phenomena.

Glancing at the silent white satin beside Chu Yao, Cheng Xiangdong thought of the identity of this white-haired young man, and became more vigilant in his heart: "Chu Yao, tell your brother what's going on?"

Chu Yao also looked at Bai Duan, as if he was asking for his approval. After a while, he looked at Cheng Xiangdong again, and lowered his voice: "As for the origin of that ancient sword, you should check it carefully. According to the auction house's According to the staff, this ancient sword used to be a murder weapon, but it was sealed by an expert before it was quieted down. This matter is probably true." Sighing, Chu Yao spread his hands, "As for How long the seal can last is hard to say, maybe the cause of Nakano Ichiro's death is related to this sword."

Cheng Xiangdong took a deep breath: "Is this sword really so fierce?"

Chu Yao nodded: "In short, it's right to be careful, and you must be extremely careful when investigating this sword. If the seal is indeed broken, it may also hurt you."

Cheng Xiangdong took this matter down seriously, and then smiled wryly: "If it's really the sword's problem, then it's going to be a big trouble, I'm really not good at dealing with such things. What's more, that sword is now in the hands of Nakano Seita , even if we want to investigate, we have to obtain his consent first—this matter must be taken seriously, if Nakano Qingta is harmed by this sword again, it will be a big problem! The Japanese side will definitely do the same Take the opportunity to make trouble!"

Chu Yao patted Cheng Xiangdong on the shoulder to show encouragement and reassurance.

"Come on, thank you brother!" Cheng Xiangdong raised his hand and thumped Chu Yao, and smiled, "If this is true, then you will be of great help, and I will definitely ask you and Master Bai to rub it together. Take a meal as a token of thanks!"

As soon as the voice fell, the elevator stopped on the first floor.Cheng Xiangdong walked out of the elevator with Chu Yao and Bai Duan, and happened to see Nakano Qingta also in the lobby on the first floor, and seemed to be talking to the entourage who accompanied Nakano Ichiro to China.

From a distance, the three of them saw the frightened and frightened expressions of the attendants, who kept repeating the pronunciation of "Kenn", and seemed to have also noticed the ominous ancient sword in the legend.

Chu Yao did not continue to remind Cheng Xiangdong how to deal with the ancient sword. After all, this kind of thing is too much to say and wrong. As long as someone notices the ancient sword, the next thing will be much easier.

Saying goodbye to Cheng Xiangdong, Chu Yao left with Shi Shiran in white satin. After the two sat in the car, Chu Yao said again: "What do you think about that ancient sword? You have to do it yourself. Solve it, or as long as it doesn't continue to harm people, no matter who solves it?"

Bai Duan had just absorbed the spiritual energy in the bronze cauldron at this moment, so he didn't even care about the evil spirit in the ancient sword. Hearing this, he didn't even hesitate: "As long as it doesn't hurt people anymore!"

"That's easy." Chu Yao nodded and started the car, "Nakano Seita is Japanese after all, and he should trust his country's Onmyoji more than Chinese Feng Shui masters, so even if he is sure that there is something wrong with the ancient sword, I probably won't ask the Chinese to handle it—if you want to solve it yourself, I will have to do something, but since it is not necessary, then we don't need to take care of it, and this matter is almost over."

Bai Duan trusted Chu Yao's arrangements quite a bit, and when he heard that Gu Jian's matter had been resolved, the burden on his heart was lightened immediately, and he showed a relieved smile.

However, Chu Yao made a rare miscalculation this time, and the sudden death of Nakano Ichiro did not come to an end.A few days later, they actually received an invitation from Nakano Seita, asking them to go to Mandarin Oriental again to "exorcise" the ancient sword.

The person who brought the news was Cheng Xiangdong, and when he mentioned the ancient sword, the young deputy director could not help but smile wryly: "Brother, that ancient sword is really amazing! The night you reminded me, the guard who guarded the ancient sword Someone almost had an accident, but fortunately we were prepared, so no more lives were lost, it was a close call...it was too scary!"

"I don't believe that Nakano Seita didn't invite the Japanese onmyoji over here, why, maybe it can be done?" Chu Yao raised his eyebrows.

"Indeed, I was invited. It is said that they are members of the Tuyumen family. I don't know the specific situation, but the result seems to be not ideal." Cheng Xiangdong shook his head, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "The Japanese Onmyoji's set of things, It was passed down from our ancestors. If I ask you, their methods are definitely not as good as those of the masters in China! What's more, this ancient sword is a Chinese thing, and the Japanese concept is brought to China. Some are not acclimatized to the environment, and they really can't hold back the extremely fierce thousand-year-old sword!"

"That's true." Chu Yao nodded slightly, "But there are so many masters in China who are more credible than Xiaodu in terms of skills and age. Why did this Nakano Seita choose Xiaodu?"

Cheng Xiangdong frowned: "This... I don't know very well. When Nakano Seita proposed to invite Chinese masters to re-seal or even destroy ancient swords, we also introduced many famous masters to him. Those who have cooperated with our police have no doubts about their strength. Of course, Master Bai is also within the scope of our introduction, because he happened to be in the Shanghai stock market, and he was close to him, and he had seen this ancient sword with his own eyes. But... To be honest, don't be offended, we didn't think that Nakano Seita would choose Master Bai, after all, Master Bai is too young and his qualifications are a little weak."

Chu Yao was not displeased by Cheng Xiangdong's "truth", on the contrary, he agreed with it very much: "So, it's too strange that he chose Xiaodu this time, and I'm not at ease."

Cheng Xiangdong gave Chu Yao a weird look. After all, it was the first time he saw Chu Yao care about someone so much since he was a child. No matter whether it is a dragon or a bug, Nakano Seita has to lie down for us honestly, and nothing will happen! We will take full responsibility for Master Bai's safety, and we will never let him encounter any accidents!"

"...Alright, I will discuss this matter with Xiaodu." Chu Yao hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded, "If Xiaodu agrees, then I will also be present."

"...Okay, I will also negotiate with Nakano Qingta for your request." Cheng Xiangdong also took a step back and agreed, but he couldn't help muttering, "Master Bai is so powerful, what are you worried about? With a worried look, I'm almost catching up with my little lover!"

Hearing this, Chu Yao suddenly revealed a secretive smile.

Feeling that something was wrong, Cheng Xiangdong with a stiff expression said, "...isn't it?"

"Yes." Chu Yao nodded in affirmation.

Cheng Xiangdong: "...Then next time I meet, do I need to call 'sister-in-law'?"

"You can do whatever you want." Chu Yao said calmly.

Cheng Xiangdong: "..."

——I always feel that I have been stuffed with dog food, and I am caught off guard!
