The guard saw Jiang Yangshuo and saluted.
Jiang Yangshuo is a mid-level non-commissioned officer of the Royal Guard and a member of the Jiang family, so he is one of the on-site persons in charge of the investigation of this murder.
The guard was a little nervous after seeing Jiang Yangshuo. He came to his senses now and felt ashamed when he thought that he had just leaked some information about the case to a young girl for no reason.
He didn't know that he had just been affected by Lin Yuan's tentacles.
Seeing that his superior looked unhappy, he asked with some trepidation: "What's wrong, Jiang? Is there something wrong with these two people?"
Jiang Yangshuo had an unsightly expression on his face. He stared at the sentry standing behind Lin Yuan with a gloomy gaze for a while, then glanced at the messy props on the floor in the room, and finally looked at Lin Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan," Jiang Yangshuo held back the discomfort in his heart, and finally suppressed the unpleasant words rolling in his throat, and only asked softly, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Yuan felt a very complicated emotion.
It was filled with a series of changes such as sadness, heartache, anger, exclusivity, loss, madness, etc. It was too chaotic and beyond her ability to understand.
She was too lazy to think about it.
She didn't know how to respond to such a conversation, so she imitated an excuse she heard most often.
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself and made a small mistake." Lin Yuan spread his hands, feeling that he had imitated the movements very well, "He was so beautiful, I couldn't control myself for a moment."
Her tentacles had heard this countless times. Those sentinels who betrayed their partners basically said this, and it must be a legitimate reason.
When she saw Jiang Yangshuo holding another girl's hand, he also said to her with a pale face, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyuan. I just couldn't help it for a moment."
Her relationship with Jiang Yangshuo is over, so this explanation should be enough, right
She was very considerate and gentle, and behaved perfectly, just like a normal "ex" fiancée. Lin Yuan praised herself.
Of course, nothing happened between her and Ni Ji. But she didn't want to explain. This disguise could help Ni Ji and also gave her a secret pleasure in her heart. Although she didn't know why.
Jiang Yangshuo clenched his back teeth.
Lin Yuan's answer was absent-minded, and he was even too lazy to answer himself.
He knew that Lin Yuan had just returned, so this sentry was probably just an "affair" of hers at the dinner party.
He could not imagine that Lin Yuan would do such a thing. In the past, Lin Yuan did not like such occasions unless it was necessary, and did not know any sentinels except him.
When they met again not long after, she seemed to have completely changed. At least before, Lin Yuan would not make such jokes or speak in such a sarcastic tone.
When she was by his side, she was like a porcelain doll that always lived in her own world, quiet and expressionless.
Now when she spoke, her eyes moved with a hint of cunning in them, which made her already beautiful face look more lively.
It was like a butterfly that had been sleeping for a long time breaking out of its cocoon and finally spreading its wings. But she was flying towards the blue sky and was no longer in her palm.
During these days after they separated, Jiang Yangshuo couldn't help but ask about her and heard a lot of news about her. She went to the Dongbin outpost and she really went deep into the contaminated area.
Even among the royal guards, her name could be heard occasionally. They walked past him with lighthearted conversations.
"I heard there was a guide who ran to the contaminated area."
"That's really surprising. Is there such a courageous person among the guides?"
"It is rumored that there was a female guide."
"Oh my god, I really want to know who it is."
"Actually, if you think about it, it would be nice to have a guide in the war zone. The guide injection is useless at the critical moment."
"Who says it's not true? At the critical moment, having a guide can save so many lives. I just didn't dare to think about it before."
They didn't know that the guide they were talking about was actually their wife.
It was really funny to think about it. When Lin Yuan was by his side, he didn't feel that Lin Yuan's spiritual counseling was in line with his own.
But during this period, when Lin Yuan was away, no matter which guide helped him, it always felt like there was a layer of cotton cloth between them, and the guidance was slight and weak.
I will never again experience that feeling of clarity in my heart, of all the darkness and gloom gone.
When his relationship with Lin Yuan ended, his father was furious.
"You idiot." The father cursed, "You don't even know what a match of 70 means. You also don't know what the strength of her mental power means. You'll regret it soon."
He was very stubborn at the time and would not listen to such words. He felt that he could not regret it. The only one who could regret it was Lin Yuan.
But Lin Yuan took off their engagement ring and threw it into the stinking ditch in front of him.
She really just left like that without looking back.
She changed her assignment to an outpost, went to a contaminated area, mixed with groups of sentinels, and could easily find a lover for herself at a banquet.
Such a lack of etiquette, such wanton behavior.
Jiang Yangshuo didn't know why he couldn't help but keep an eye on her. If he had any backbone, he should have forgotten about her long ago.
But I am always anxious. Even if I do spiritual counseling, I can't get rid of the anxiety and irritability.
This kind of anxiety accumulated more and more in my heart, as if there was something missing that I would never get.
Jiang Yangshuo stared at Lin Yuan with red eyes.
Lin Yuan's eyes looked innocent and pure, and she had no idea what she was going through in her heart.
"Lin Yuan." He took two steps forward and stretched out his hand, trying to pull Lin Yuan, who was far away from him, closer.
Ni Ji, who was behind Lin Yuan, took a step forward, walked past Lin Yuan, and blocked Lin Yuan behind him.
When Ni Ji passed by him, Lin Yuan found that the aura around him suddenly changed after he passed his sentry.
[Wow]
[what's the situation]
[Xiao Yuyu seems to have suddenly become handsome]
After Jiang Yangshuo appeared, the uninterested tentacles raised their heads one after another.
The clothes were still the same wrinkled shirt, with two of the top buttons broken, but the person wrapped in it seemed completely different.
His eyes were cold and dangerous, a steady strength was condensed in his demeanor, and when he moved he exuded an aura in his bones, a truly powerful beast.
The collar of the shirt reveals a little bit of his chest, the muscle lines are very sexy, but his waist is very narrow, and he has a pair of long legs and a perfect body proportion.
He looked at Jiang Yangshuo with cold disdain.
Lin Yuan had no idea what was going on.
Sentinels are really strange creatures at times.
She didn't even blink. How could the man who was so fragile and soft in front of her just now suddenly tremble in the wind and turn into a giant underwater whale in a state of combat readiness, a ferocious aquatic beast
Ni Ji stood in front of Lin Yuan, the hostility in his eyes was undisguised and very obvious.
Jiang Yangshuo recognized this sentry, a killer whale. A civilian sentry who had just been promoted from the sentry post. He was of humble status and low military rank.
A huge anger suddenly rose in Jiang Yangshuo's heart. He remembered the scene when this man's spirit body appeared.
The huge whale head poked out from the roof, deeply frustrating all the sentries present at the time, including him.
Lin Yuan actually mixed up with such lowly people.
A low-ranking sentinel of common origin.
The cheetah's roar sounded underground, and a pair of huge golden animal eyes appeared in the void behind Jiang Yangshuo.
Ni Ji, who was confronting him, smiled faintly. He did not even materialize his spiritual body, but used one hand to loosen the wrist of the other hand.
That smile was too hateful. The hand was wearing a black glove, the cuffs were stained with blood, and the tooth mark on the forearm pierced Jiang Yangshuo's eyes.
A giant spotted cheetah stepped out from the void.
The air was filled with tension and the situation was tense.
The battle between the Bobcats and the Sea Dragons is almost imminent.
[Wow]
[Fight, strike]
Pulling hair
[tear clothes]
[Catch the face]
[Take that thing]
[I like watching this]
"Captain Jiang, Sergeant Jiang. This is not the time to argue." The guard who came in first hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yangshuo.
He finally understood. It had nothing to do with any assassins. He was just involved in a sex scandal.
Judging from Captain Jiang's expression, this guide is a remarkable person. He can suppress the tall and strong sentry and make Jiang Yangshuo, who is of noble birth, so angry that his nose is crooked.
She herself was surprisingly calm and looked innocent, ready to stand aside and watch the show.
Crammed into the small room, the guards who came to search for the murderer felt that they had come to the wrong place.
It was neither right to leave nor to stay. He had no choice but to hold Jiang Yangshuo back and persuade him to put the overall situation first and do the business first.
As for the murderer, it would not be these people in front of me. I have never seen a killer who has just killed someone and is busy being jealous. It is really a waste of his time.
The door of the house was wide open, and there was a lot of noise outside, with the hurried footsteps of sentries walking back and forth.
There was a chaotic sound of conversation and shouting from the guests who were driven out of the house.
A crowd of people was moving around outside the door, and countless people were looking inside.
Jiang Yangshuo's eyes were filled with anger, but he endured it again and again.
Finally, he retracted his spirit body and waved to the guards,
"Let's go and search somewhere else first."
He received an elite education within his family since he was young. He knows when to advance and when to retreat, how to exercise restraint, and knows what to do in what occasion.
His biological aunt had just been assassinated and died tragically upstairs.
The most powerful pillar of the family has fallen.
Catching the murderer and a series of follow-up matters are waiting for him to deal with.
This is not the time for him to worry about personal feelings.
Besides, he and Lin Yuan were already... over.
Jiang Yangshuo took one last deep look at Lin Yuan, then turned around and walked out.
In the hall, a crowd of people gathered and talked a lot. Most of them had just heard the news and were driven here.
A girl with a permed hair and wearing an expensive dress saw Lin Yuan and Ni Ji coming out after packing their clothes, and she squeezed over while holding up her skirt.
"Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan," she called out Lin Yuan's name happily, "I heard that you were back yesterday. Why didn't you come to see me?"
Lin Yuan opened his mouth.
I've seen her before, on the airship, but I can't remember her name.
The girl was a guide, and she very keenly understood Lin Yuan's emotion of not recognizing her, and she didn't care at all.
"Me, Nicole." She held Lin Yuan's arm and leaned against her affectionately. "I've been back for a long time. Why did you come back just now?"
Nicole waved her hand and several guides came over. They were Shu Jingtong and several classmates who had fought together on the airship.
"Do you want to come to my house to play?" Nicole spoke next to Lin Yuan, her voice very sweet, "Or I can go to your house. We are classmates, I don't even know where you live."
After studying at Baita College for so many years, Lin Yuan had hardly played with her classmates. No one except Cao Yunyun had ever visited her home.
In the past, she was mostly alone at such banquets.
Sitting in the corner, patiently killing time, or waiting for Jiang Yangshuo to come visit her occasionally.
I have never been together with my classmates like this, joining them and listening to their chattering.
Perhaps, it is not only the environment that has changed, but also the people.
Lin Yuan discovered that not only at the sentry post, but even here, his life had gradually changed, and there were more lovely people around him.
The guides also recognized Ni Ji and greeted him enthusiastically.
"You are the sentinel, right?"
"That day, I didn't even have time to thank you. You were gone."
"Yes, we are all very grateful to you. Thank you for coming to the rescue alone."
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Shu Jingtong."
"Yes, yes, let's get to know each other."
Everyone gathered together and began to discuss in low voices what happened in the evening.
"Do you know what happened?"
"Yes, something happened to the Minister of War, and he died upstairs. Many people have come, and I guess you won't be able to leave tonight."
"This is the second time this has happened. The last time was at Earl's Mansion."
"I really want to know which guy is so powerful."
"Keep your voice down. What are you talking about? I'm worried someone might hear me."
"You don't know, these two guys are not good people. This is their karma." The guide gritted his teeth and couldn't suppress his emotions. "My sister attended a dinner here... and never went back."
"Don't talk here." Shu Jingtong held his shoulder and made a silent gesture. He looked at Ni Ji a little embarrassed. They were not familiar with Ni Ji yet.
“Yes, yes… I know.” The guide’s shoulders trembled and he bit his lip tightly. “I just couldn’t help it. My sister is a sentinel. She is very powerful and very gentle. She is very kind to us.”
"Such a good sister, and she's gone without even giving us an explanation..." the young boy choked up.
"I really want to know who did this. I want to thank him."
Several of his companions embraced him. The guides were gentle people.
Ni Ji remained silent, glanced at them, and quietly stepped away a little to show his courtesy.
In the corridor on the second floor, many people came to see Jiang Yangshuo, including the leader of the guard team, the chief of the Public Security Bureau, the messenger sent by Her Majesty the Queen, and the elders of the family...
The scene was chaotic and complicated, but fortunately he was young and had strong mental strength, so he was able to deal with it one by one.
But I just couldn't help but divert a little of my attention to search for that person in the crowd.
He saw Lin Yuan walk out, enter the hall, and walk side by side with the sentry.
Seeing someone greeting her, two or three guides from the Guide Academy came over and hugged her affectionately.
Jiang Yangshuo wanted to call her and ask her to come back to him.
But he couldn't bring himself to do it.
I could only watch her and the others walk away.
When did it become like this
Jiang Yangshuo remembered that in the past, at such banquets, Lin Yuan was often alone.
She is always waiting there. When I am free, I will go to find her.
Maybe she will never come back to me.
When I thought of this, my heart felt tighter and I felt suffocated.
