"Pang Li, how long have you been in the store?"

Ling Huaan deftly dodged it, and Pang Li paused, a surprised expression flashed across her face, and said, "It will be a month soon. Boss, are you going to pay your salary?"

"Well, I forgot when you started going to work. Just ask, you can't go wrong when you settle your salary."

"I went to work on the 18th of last month, and it's just two days away and it's a month away."

Ling Huaan nodded and said, "You're busy, I'm going upstairs."

"Boss, your eyes are inconvenient, so I'll take you up there. There's no one in the store anyway."

Ling Huaan hesitated, and said, "I'll go up by myself. The fruit upstairs is gone. Please help me pick some sand candy oranges and bring them up."

"Okay, boss, then be careful when you go up the stairs, I'll pick it up and send it up." Pang Li looked very excited.

Ling Huaan didn't stay any longer. He groped upstairs as usual, opened the door and walked in. Looking at Hua Ting sitting on the sofa, he greeted, "Grandpa, it's past noon, have you eaten yet?"

Hua Ting put down the Go in his hand and said, "I ate it. How is it over there, what happened?"

Ling Huaan didn't hide it, and explained everything that happened at Ling Ling's house in detail.

"According to what you said, Lu Hao's child is probably more fortunate than good." Compared with Jiang Chengyan and Ling Ling's half-knowledge, Hu Ting has a good understanding of these, so he and Ling Huaan's speculation is the same, at least Lu Hao disappeared and refined corpse oil. , in perfect agreement with time.

Ling Huaan looked very calm, with no emotional ups and downs.

"Grandpa, I want to try to summon the soul."

Hua Ting sighed and said, "Son, I know what you think. It's really regrettable what happened to Lu Hao, but it's not your fault. Don't put the blame on yourself."

"Grandpa, Hao Man killed Lu Hao because of me. If he really died tragically, then I will have an unshirkable responsibility. But don't worry, I won't do stupid things, at least I won't let myself go before Hao Man is arrested. Something happened."

Hua Ting wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Ling Huaan, saying, "Grandpa, you don't need to say it, this is my cause and effect, I can't escape, and I don't want to."

Hua Ting is a member of Xuanmen, so he naturally understands what is the cause and effect, so he can only sigh and say, "Huan, Hao Man is doing this just to irritate you, make you lose your calm, and go to him regardless." "I I know. Grandpa, don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

"Dong dong dong", a knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two. Hua Ting wanted to open the door, but Ling Huaan stopped him and whispered, "Grandpa, go back to your room first."

Hua Ting frowned slightly, didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the room.

Ling Huaan came to the door, opened the door, looked down at the sugar orange in Pang Li's hand, and said, "Are there any customers downstairs?"

"No, there are usually no people at this point." Pang Li's tone was filled with anticipation.

"Then come in." Ling Huaan let the door open.

Pang Li walked in with something, looked around, and said, "Boss, is there anyone at home? I remember seeing an old man a few days ago."

"That's my grandfather, he has already gone back. Put the things on the table, sit down and I'll make you a cup of tea." Ling Huaan slowly walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Pang Li hurriedly followed and said, "Boss, it's not convenient for you to move around, so let me come. You can just tell me where the things are."

"It's alright, I'm used to it, you go sit down and take a break while you're free now."

As if she didn't hear it, Pang Li followed Ling Huaan into the kitchen and stood beside Ling Huaan, touching his body intentionally or not. Ling Huaan frowned slightly, avoiding Pang Li, and said, "Pang Li, in the drawer under the coffee table, there is a tea clip, please bring it for me."

"Okay." Pang Li turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Ling Huaan took out a paper talisman, chanted the incantation silently, and the paper talisman ignited spontaneously. Before Pang Li came in, she put the burning paper talisman into the tea tin and closed the lid.

"Boss, here's the tea clip, here it is." Pang Li took Ling Hua'an's hand, put the tea clip in his hand, and rubbed it a few times.

Ling Hua pulled back his hand without a trace, opened the tea tin, and casually clipped a folder inside, and said, "I don't know what kind of tea you usually drink, so just make some black tea. You go and sit, I'm going to burn it. Water, you have to wait a while."

Seeing Ling Hua'an insist, Pang Li said disappointedly, "Then I will trouble the boss."

Ling Hua'an nodded, gropingly picked up the kettle and took in the water. Out of the corner of her eyes, she watched Pang Li come out of the kitchen, stirred the tea in the tea pot, put it in the tea pot, and poured it in when the hot water boiled, then poured it in again. After stirring, he walked out with the tea tray.

Ling Huaan poured a cup of tea for Pang Li, pushed it to her side, and said, "I just bought the newly bought tea, how about you help me taste it."

"Okay, Boss." Pang Li didn't think much about it. She picked up the teacup and smelled the aroma of the tea, took another sip and tasted it carefully. Finally, she drank it all in one gulp and said, "This tea seems to have a strange smell. Boss, Where did you buy it from?"

"Is there a strange smell?" Ling Huaan took a sip of the tea cup and said, "Although it's not very good tea, it still tastes okay. Have you eaten something before that ruined your sense of taste? Try it."

Ling Huaan poured another glass for Pang Li and pushed it to her side.

"Maybe, I did eat some snacks just now." Pang Li picked up the teacup, drank another cup, and said, "Well, the boss is right, the strange smell is gone, it should be the reason why I ate something before."

"I didn't ask before, where is your home, what do you do at home, and do you have any siblings?" Ling Huaan added another cup of tea to Pang Li.

"My family is also from Hwaseong, my parents are farming at home, and there is a younger brother at home." Pang Li subconsciously picked up the teacup and sipped it.

"Brother? How old are you, are you still in school?" Ling Huaan asked casually.

"I'm 16, and I just entered high school this year."

"Then why didn't you go to college?"

"I was stupid, and I didn't do well in my studies. I didn't pass the exam. In addition, my family conditions were not good, and I couldn't afford two people to go to school, so I didn't repeat my studies. I went out to work and relieved the family's burden."

"That's it. In fact, it's good to get in touch with the society early. Life is not only a way out of reading."

The two chatted for a while, and the pot of tea was quickly drank. There was a sound of the door opening, and then Jiang Chengyan opened the door and walked in. Looking at the two people sitting in the living room, he frowned slightly and said, "Pang Li, there are customers downstairs, why did you come up?"

"There are customers. Boss, then I'll go down first." Pang Li glanced at Jiang Chengyan, got up and went downstairs.

The door was closed, Ling Huaan looked at Jiang Chengyan, and said in a light tone, "Why did the Jiang team come back at this point? How is the investigation of Lu Hao's case, is there any progress?"

Jiang Chengyan was stunned and said, "I just contacted the police in Nancheng and asked them to obtain the hotel surveillance. The information has not been sent. I want to take this time to go home and have a look. Huaan, what's wrong, isn't it time for me to come back?"

"If you don't investigate a case, what are you looking for when you come back? Lu Hao's life or death is unknown, don't you know?" Ling Huaan's tone was undisguised impatient.

Jiang Chengyan's eyes flashed with injury, and said, "Huan, I'm worried about you, how can you say that?"

"Am I wrong? You are a policeman, and there is a murder case, but you only care about falling in love. Are you worthy of your identity?" Ling Huaan said more and more loudly.

"Huaan..." Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Huaan uneasily.

The slight footsteps sounded, Ling Huaan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Chengyan, and said, "Team Jiang, what you just said was for others, don't take it to heart."

"Huaan, what's going on?" Ling Huaan's indifference just now really frightened him.

"I suspect that Pang Li is not so simple, just acting for her just now."

"Pang Li? Hua An, did you find something?"

"Since Pang Li came to the store, she always approached me intentionally or unintentionally. I didn't care at first, but when she approached today, I smelled a special smell."

"What does 'close to you' mean?" Jiang Chengyan's brows became even tighter.

"Team Jiang, your focus is wrong." Ling Huaan was a little helpless.

Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, then remembered Lu Hao's incident, feeling a little guilty, and said, "Huaan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Ling Huaan shook her head and said, "I smelled a faint fragrance on Pang Li's body, the smell of rhino horn incense."

"Rhino Horn Incense?" Jiang Chengyan was a little surprised and said, "Hua An, do you suspect that Pang Li has something to do with Hao Man?"

"Hao Man knows almost everything about me, but I don't know anything about his current situation. I have to be careful."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I put the ashes of the tracking talisman in the tea I brewed for her, and I'll follow her when she gets off work at night." Ling Huaan let go of Jiang Chengyan and said, "Team Jiang hasn't eaten lunch yet, wait a moment, I I'll give you a bowl of noodles."

Jiang Chengyan held Ling Huaan, looked at him aggrievedly, and said, "If I encounter this kind of thing in the future, can you give me a signal in advance, I was really sad just now."

"Well, if there is such a thing in the future, I will wink with you in advance as a signal."

"Okay. Hua An, have you eaten lunch?"

"Not yet, I'll do it now, you wait."

"I'm with you." The two entered the kitchen together.

Lu Hao disappeared, Ling Huaan was in a bad mood, Jiang Chengyan knew what to do and didn't bother him. After the two finished the noodles quietly and finished eating quietly, Jiang Chengyan returned to the team.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Ming came to take over on time, and Ling Huaan also went downstairs.

Pang Li smiled and walked to Ling Huaan, saying, "Boss, you've come downstairs, where are you going?"

"Don't go anywhere, go downstairs to get some food, are you going back?"

"Well, the shift has already been handed over." Pang Li looked at Sun Ming, who was beside him, and whispered, "Boss, before the Jiang team went downstairs, I think his face was not good. You guys won't quarrel, right? Did he misunderstand something? already?"

"It's okay, don't worry about him. Then you can go back after get off work, and be careful on the way."

"Boss, am I embarrassing you? How about I explain to Team Jiang?"

"No, if he doesn't believe me, it's useless to explain. You go, you're tired after a day's work, go home and have a good rest, and come to work on time tomorrow."

"That's true. Couples still have to trust each other. If Team Jiang is a little bit because of this misunderstanding..." Pang Li seemed to realize something, so she stopped and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I talked a little too much, that ... I'll go first, and I'll have to go to work on time tomorrow."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. You go upstairs tomorrow evening, and I'll pay you your salary."

"Okay, thank you boss." There was undisguised joy in Pang Li's voice.
