Tang Ping could only read everyone's introduction after activating the Three-Eyed Spirit, and find the word "drug trafficking" in it, which made her dizzy for a while.
He subconsciously concluded that his psychic abilities were suitable for finding hidden enemies and targets whose names he knew, but not for searching for a needle in a haystack.
It would be great if a keyword auto-search function could be added.
As he was pondering, he suddenly caught a strong scent of perfume. Before he could even be alert, he heard a woman's voice approaching him: "Handsome, all alone?"
Tang Ping turned her head and saw a beautiful woman with heavy makeup. She wasn't bad-looking, but her clothing was a bit unconventional.
Before he could respond, Yuan Ji had already moved closer, staring at the woman and saying in an unfriendly tone, "He's my boyfriend!"
"Are you two a couple?" The woman's gaze darted back and forth between the two of them a few times. "Did you two have a fight?"
"No, thank you for your concern."
"Tch, you misjudged me. Is having a handsome boyfriend such a big deal?"
The woman left dejectedly.
Yuan Ji watched the other person leave like a protective cat guarding its food, then glanced around and said with a hint of dejection, "Could it be that in other people's eyes, you and I don't look like a couple?"
"Probably, after all, we're not a couple and we're not professional actors, so it's normal that our acting doesn't look like each other."
Tang Ping answered nonchalantly and then began searching for keywords again.
"That won't do. If we're going to do it, we have to do it well. What if we arouse suspicion and the drug dealers become alert and run away before we're done?"
Yuan Ji approached and put his arm around Tang Ping's arm, asking, "Does this look more like it?"
Tang Ping felt that the other person's competitive spirit was a bit inexplicable, but she still admitted, "Your actions remind me of my mother. She does the same thing when she takes me shopping."
"What about this?"
Yuan Ji hugged her tighter and pressed her chest against her. Perhaps because she had been drinking, her face was a little red.
"It reminds me of Shu Jiang. She used to try to hug me like this, but I kicked her away." Tang Ping casually comforted her. "Alright, there's no need to force yourself. If we can't pretend to be a couple, then we won't. Next time, I'll conjure up a face that looks like yours. If people ask, we can just say we're siblings."
Yuan Ji stared at Tang Ping's face with resentment. Gradually, she made a decision, suddenly reached out and hugged Tang Ping's face, kissing her head-on.
Tang Ping's eyes widened. He was still focused on finding the criminal and had never expected the other party to pull such a stunt. He didn't know whether to be surprised or happy.
Although they didn't separate immediately, it only lasted two or three seconds before Yuan Ji parted, saying angrily, "Your mother and your sister would never do such a thing. Now we're like a couple!"
"...Real couples would never say such things. Of course, in other people's eyes, you and I might look like a silly couple having a tiff, but there's no need to go this far."
"It's just a kiss, nothing serious. It's not like I'll lose any flesh. We're all adults who have entered society. It's normal to kiss without feeling for work. Actors have kissing scenes, and I'm a former actor, after all."
Yuan Ji's eyes darted around, and the blush on his face deepened, whether from the alcohol or from shyness, it was hard to tell.
Tang Ping touched her lips and said, "It's not like this is your first kiss, is it?"
"Of course not!"
Yuan Ji subconsciously denied it, but seeing Tang Ping's gaze, she immediately realized that her shallow acting skills could not fool the other party, so she simply gave up and said: "So what if it was my first kiss? I'm not the kind of little girl who still has unrealistic romantic fantasies about my first kiss. Only pretentious little Burjoya would care about such things."
Tang Ping was completely speechless.
Having the ability to detect lies is really... making it impossible to emulate the classic wooden male protagonist in Japanese anime.
He sighed, stood up, and said, "Let's go."
"Where...where are we going?" Yuan Ji asked, somewhat flustered.
"Of course, we're going to the next location. This place has already been searched, and there are no suspects."
"Oh? Oh."
When it came to serious matters, Yuan Ji finally calmed down, slapped his forehead in frustration, and said, "Sorry, I don't know why, my brain suddenly went haywire. It's probably because I drank some alcohol, and I just got all tipsy. I was working, what was I doing?"
She patted her cheeks with both hands, then earnestly promised, "I will focus on my work from now on and won't lose control again."
"That's good. We can talk about it later."
Tang Ping paid for the drinks and was about to leave when his eyes caught sight of a line of text, and he stopped in his tracks.
Yuan Ji asked warily, "What's wrong? Have you spotted the target?"
"No, I only found a guy with bad intentions. Although I think virtuous girls shouldn't come here, everything should be consensual. This guy's behavior was too despicable. Let's mind our own business before we leave."
As Tang Ping spoke, he walked toward the woman who had approached him earlier.
Chapter 116 Heat
Inside the bar, colorful lights blazed freely, and the dynamic electronic music was deafening. The crowd danced wildly to the rhythm, their consciousness unconsciously becoming hazy.
Dong Wanrong, dressed in a red short dress, with bright red lips and exquisite makeup, sat at the bar chatting and laughing with her best friend Amin. Her clear and melodious laughter stood out in the noisy environment, attracting the attention of many people around her.
Yuan Ji thought he had dressed up as a hot girl, but in reality, he was only superficially similar. Every move he made revealed the traces of a fledgling. Even though he was prettier in appearance, the regulars at the bar actually preferred Dong Wanrong's type.
Of course, if Yuan Ji didn't have Tang Ping by his side, there would be plenty of people who would want to try to drag the newcomer into the mess. But since he had a protector, the difficulty of striking up a conversation increased dramatically, and many people gave up after weighing the options.
Amin sat next to Dong Wanrong, half-heartedly responding to her questions. She wore a seemingly sincere smile, but her eyes would occasionally drift to a corner not far away.
After receiving a hint from her companion, she suddenly said, "Wanrong, your new hairstyle looks so good. Unlike me, no matter how I try, it doesn't look good."
Hearing her best friend's flattery, Dong Wanrong grinned and said, "Oh, you think so too? Hahaha, I put a lot of thought into this hairstyle. Amin, you're too casual. I think you can try medium-length hair, let your hair hang down your shoulders, and leave some wispy strands on both sides of your face. This will not only cover up your prominent jawline, but also make your face look much smaller, and it will also add a touch of elegance."
"really?"
"Of course, I watched beauty videos for half a month to learn how to style hair. You can also try a half-up hairstyle, tying up the hair on the top of your head and making it a little fluffy. This will elongate your face and make it look less wide, making your overall look more refined."
"Wow, that sounds great! Why didn't I think of that before? I've always been so concerned about my face shape that I've never really thought about hairstyles."
Dong Wanrong laughed and said, "Haha, sometimes people are just blinded by their own involvement! Once you get a suitable hairstyle and match your clothes well, you'll definitely amaze those stinky men."
"I'll try your method later. If it works, I'll treat you to a dessert buffet."
As they were talking, a passing man bumped into Dong Wanrong's arm, causing her handbag to fall to the ground.
The man quickly said, "I'm so sorry, I'll pick it up for you."
"No need, I can do it myself. Be careful when you walk."
Dong Wanrong left her seat and bent down to pick it up.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Amin quickly pulled out a small paper packet from her sleeve. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She opened the packet, placed it in her palm, and then covered Dong Wanrong's wine glass with her hand. The powder in the packet fell into the wine. Her movements were extremely skillful, as if she had practiced it countless times. Outsiders could not see anything unusual.
"Madam, would you like me to buy you a drink?"
The man who was staging the accident continued to distract Dong Wanrong.
"Ha, so you deliberately bumped into me. Forget it, you're not my type. Be careful next time, don't use such low-level flirting tactics, they're so outdated." Dong Wanrong said sarcastically, thinking she had seen through the other party's scheme.
Seeing that Amin had succeeded, the man smiled sheepishly and left in a flustered manner.
"Sigh, all the handsome guys are taken, only a bunch of ugly turtles are oblivious to their own flaws. I even encountered a dwarf who wanted to throw money at me, but I'm a rich second-generation, why would I care about his stinking money!"
"It's not because Wanrong, you are so charming that no man can resist you."
"It's a pity it only attracts ugly men. I just got rejected by a handsome guy, what a disappointment. By the way, where were we?" Dong Wanrong recalled for a moment, then shook her head and said, "The dessert buffet is out of the question, it's a calorie bomb. I'm on a diet, but having a cheat meal once in a while is fine."
“Okay, you decide what we eat,” Amin said with a complex emotion in her eyes, raising her glass and smiling. “Come on, let’s toast to our future beauty blogger!”
"It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Dong Wanrong raised her wine glass, clinked it with her best friend's, and prepared to drink it all in one gulp.
Just then, a hand reached out and snatched her cup. She was about to get angry when she looked up and saw that it was the handsome guy who had rejected her earlier. Her anger instantly turned into joy.
Before she could speak, the handsome man said, "Don't drink it, someone has drugged it."
"what?"
Tang Ping didn't offer any further explanation, and instead took her wine glass and walked towards the man whose criminal details were clearly described in his biography.
"What are you going to do? This has nothing to do with me, you have evidence!"
Tang Ping grabbed the other person's neck, pulled him to his chest, and held him down with his arm. He pinched the other person's chin with his five fingers to force him to open his mouth, and then forced wine into his mouth.
The man struggled desperately to resist, but apart from choking on his own, it had no effect; it was as if he was being imprisoned by a steel statue.
"Fox demon" is indeed not good at strength, but that's in comparison to psychics. Among ordinary people, Tang Ping's strength alone is no less than that of a middleweight boxer.
Halfway through the drink, Tang Ping released the other person, kicked them away, then turned to Dong Wanrong and said to her terrified best friend, "I treat men and women equally. Do you want to drink it yourself, or should I force it down your throat?"
"I...I don't want it, can you please let me go..."
Amin instinctively wanted to beg the man for mercy, but seeing that Tang Ping was unmoved and even showed signs of hitting her, she quickly nodded like a pestle and said, "I'll drink it, I'll drink it!"
Tang Ping handed the wine to the other person without expression and watched as the other person drank it all.
The surrounding crowd stirred, but after hearing Tang Ping's words, most people more or less guessed what was going on. After all, such things were not uncommon in the circle. So they whispered to the unsuspecting passersby to explain, and those who knew the truth cast contemptuous glances at them.
We're all just thinking about it, but you two dare to actually do it.
Not only did they take action, but they were also caught red-handed.
What a disgrace! Just kill yourself!
Tang Ping said to Dong Wanrong, who was still in a daze, "Whether you call the police or not is up to you. Remember to keep your eyes open next time you make friends." Then she waved and left.
Yuan Ji glared at the couple with disdain. If this were anywhere else, she would definitely call the police. But as a girl who had received strict family education since childhood and had good living habits, she couldn't help but have a stereotype about bars and nightclubs. She felt that Dong Wanrong was somewhat to blame, so she didn't bother with other people's business and quickly followed.
Dong Wanrong snapped out of her daze and looked at her best friend, saying, "You really drugged the drink?"
Amin instinctively wanted to deny it, but remembering that she had already drunk half a glass of wine and the drug would probably take effect soon, there was no point in denying it. So she could only feign pitifulness and say, "I... I was forced into it. He had something on me..."
Dong Wanrong picked up a glass of wine and splashed it in the other person's face, saying, "Get out of here! I'm not in the mood to listen to your excuses. Don't show your face in front of me again, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Then, she grabbed her handbag and ran out of the bar, calling out to Tang Ping, who had just walked out, "Handsome, can I have your contact information?"
Tang Ping said, "I have a girlfriend."
"she?"
Dong Wanrong glanced at Yuan Ji, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Don't blame me for being blunt, but she's the kind of person who pretends to be serious even in bed. She's so boring. I'm different. I'm very proactive, and you don't have to take responsibility. Just enjoy yourself. Consider it my way of repaying a debt of gratitude."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ji instantly flew into a rage. The alcohol he had been suppressing surged to his head, and most of his rationality evaporated. He immediately wrapped his arms around Tang Ping's neck and kissed her again.
Practice makes perfect, and this time it wasn't just a simple touch and then they separated. She recalled the deep kissing scenes between men and women in TV dramas she had watched before, and clumsily and forcefully imitated them, oblivious to everyone around her. By the time they separated, her face was flushed.
"I am also very proactive."
Yuan Ji looked at Dong Wanrong defiantly.
"Your technique is clearly subpar. You're only thinking about your own pleasure and haven't considered your boyfriend's feelings at all. Let me teach you."
Dong Wanrong seemed to have no idea what politeness meant, and was about to throw herself into Tang Ping's arms.
Yuan Ji quickly stepped between the two, glaring at them menacingly, and said, "Get lost!"
Dong Wanrong stiffened for a moment, then patted her chest and said, "Oh, I'm so scared. Okay, since my real girlfriend is here, I, the one who's trying to steal her away, will have to back off for now."
Before leaving, she blew Tang Ping a kiss: "Handsome, if you ever can't stand this tigress, remember to come find me. I'm a regular on this street, you can ask me at any shop."
"Don't look for her!"
Yuan Ji immediately said to Tang Ping.
“I never intended to do that. Don’t forget I’m currently wearing Yamcha’s face.”
"It's the Yamcha that's worrying."
Seeing that the topic had veered off course, Tang Ping said, "Let's get back to work."
Remembering the important matter, Yuan Ji shut his mouth and silently followed beside Tang Ping.
Next, the two inspected two more stores, but still couldn't find the suspect.
On the way to the third house, Yuan Ji suddenly shouted, "What am I doing?!"
She covered her face with her hands and squatted on the ground.
It seems he has finally sobered up. Tang Ping comforted him, "It's inevitable that drinking will lead to mistakes. Just don't touch alcohol in the future."
"Don't try to comfort me... I just want to dig a hole and bury myself."
Yuan Ji rubbed her face vigorously, her ponytail swinging back and forth.
After letting the other person calm down for a while, Tang Ping said, "Let's go back."
Yuan Ji immediately said, "No, I can't let personal matters interfere with official business. Give me five more minutes, just five minutes, and I'll be able to calm myself down right away."
"It has nothing to do with your situation. It just suddenly occurred to me that this indiscriminate screening method is too inefficient. We should first ask a psychic skilled in divination to help calculate the approximate range of the target's location before we go to find the person. This way, we can save energy and capture mortals more quickly."
"……I see."
