Fang Tinglan leaned back without seeing the person behind him clearly, and the silver light just passed by the tip of his hair. If he was half a second later, he would probably be cut through like the corpse in the alley Throat lying on the ground. He didn't stop after avoiding the blow, and continued to walk around in the moonlight. The man was still wearing the gardener's clothes, unarmed, and of course he didn't dare to confront him head-on. Fortunately, the opponent's killing move was only the first move, and then it was more like relying on someone in his hand to show off his power in front of Fang Tinglan. After dodging two more knives in an awkward posture, he suddenly pulled Changyin and said: "Cousin, you bully me..."
The word "bullying" was bitten thousands of times, hiding endless grievances, much more emotional than the top actors in the big theater. When the sound came out, the other party was choked and staggered a step, and the blade that should have been swung into a perfect arc twisted crookedly. This "cousin" hadn't figured out how to respond to Fang Tinglan when a sudden burst of words came from the side. Crisp laughter.
The laughter pierced the tense atmosphere, and also choked the attacker's momentum. The one who laughed was none other than the girl who had been watching the battle for a long time. The girl twisted her hair and raised her eyebrows to coax the two of them, "Hey, why don't you continue?"
"It's all like this, how can I continue." "Cousin" sighed, and put away the dagger.
The girl rubbed her fingertips, dark red crumbs fell from her fingers, her gray-blue eyes rolled around the two of them, and the corners of her mouth became more playful: "You two brothers are really interesting, this doesn't look like a fight , it's clearly flirting—”
"Yali." Hailian called the girl by her name.
"Okay, okay, let me go, let's continue without disturbing you." Ya Li rubbed her nose, and she couldn't help but laugh in her voice. Before she turned around, she complained to Hailian, "Today's business is not worth it. You have to pay me for a dress. This is my favorite dress, and it’s covered in blood now, so I won’t be able to wear it anymore.”
After being disturbed like this, this fight can't be done. Seeing Yali walking away, Hailian spoke first: "What nonsense were you talking to others just now, what do you mean you are excited about me?"
"Literally." Fang Tinglan answered quickly.
"..." Hailian choked again.
"It's literally. Before I came to the southern border, someone told me that Tisu was only peaceful on the surface, but chaotic inside. I didn't believe it at the time, but I believe it now." Fang Tinglan said, "You are employed by the security guard. Officer, right? When you first arrived in Jiumeng City five days ago, you left suddenly just to pick up this business?"
"I never said when I was talking to you about the deal that I would only take on your job."
Fang Tinglan laughed at the other party's words: "Did the deceased commit something, but the Public Security Department couldn't touch him, so they simply let him die in an assassination? Then, it must be the security officer with a very distinctive voice." Will it be announced to the outside world that this is a suspicious case, or will it be pointed at an object that everyone suspects but can't move, such as... your king?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Hailian frowned, "Also, you don't seem to have a long memory. As I said, don't ask about my affairs."
"It's a coincidence," Fang Tinglan adjusted his clothes, "I guessed it casually, but I didn't expect to guess everything."
Helian snorted.
The little pirate in front of him was too innocent, he kept saying that he would not let others inquire, but he exposed himself in all directions. Fang Tinglan finished clicking, and didn't try any more. He stretched out his hand to Hailian and smiled: "Do you want to fight again to calm down? Or go home together? Or go to the Pearl Tavern for a drink? I invite you."
"It's all free." Hai Lian didn't appreciate it, and before leaving, he took a look at Fang Tinglan.
"You'd better wear your own clothes," he remarked.
19.
This murder case has indeed become a big news in Jiumeng City, and the business of Mrs. Jinlinghua's shop has improved, especially Yali. People paid a lot of money to see her, just to hear her repeat how Herac screamed and how he fell on top of her. She didn't lose her dirty skirt, and some men with special hobbies asked her to wear it when she was working, so that she could simulate the "stimulation" of dying.
This ancient and restless city uses the fragrance of flowers and sea breeze to settle itself, and uses blood and gold coins to give itself vitality.
"...a person who works in the Grand Theater told me that he has some contacts and can let me be a backup dancer." Yali sat with one arm on the back of the chair, sitting in a presumptuous posture, her cheeks covered with inferior face powder in the afternoon glow There was an exaggerated blush under the light, "Maybe I'm the next Mrs. Nando. Didn't she just fall in love with a lord when she was dancing solo, and she rose to the top from then on?"
"Hmm..." Hai Lianying was very perfunctory, focusing on the work in hand, "That's good."
"But I think he's lying. After all, the novelty of men will pass away soon," Yali became depressed again. "And I don't look very good-looking. It would be nice if the bridge of my nose was higher."
Hailian raised her eyes and glanced at her: "I think you look pretty good."
"What's the use of being satisfied," Ya Li pouted, "You don't like women."
Hailian laughed twice.
"Then he doesn't like women either?" Ya Li asked again.
"Which him?"
"It's your brother."
In the past two days, Fang Tinglan seemed to have listened to Hai Lian's words and didn't bother him. People in Dongzhou have always been mysterious and mysterious. Hearing Fang Tinglan, Hai Lian couldn't help being confused for a moment.
Yali didn't notice Hailian's distraction, and the girl wrapped her index finger around the red ribbon on her temples, and continued on her own: "Our sisters talked about him in private, he is really weird, he lives in this kind of place, He didn't call the girl, and he didn't take a second look at the butt sellers living in the building next door... Tell me, does he have a problem with that thing?"
"Probably not." Hailian replied subconsciously.
"How do you know?" Ya Li was surprised.
"I... guessed it." Hai Lian was at a loss for words, and simply turned away, "What's the point of talking about that guy... Did the Public Security Bureau bother you?"
"How could it be? Faluko called me over there to ask symbolically a few times, and then stopped coming. It was the little guard who was very annoying. He kept apologizing to me and sending me flowers," Ya said. Li pouted and muttered, "What does he know..."
Helian listened to the girl's muttering with one ear and one ear, and he pulled out the last stitch from the fabric, tied a knot skillfully, bit off the end of the thread, and then returned the needle and thread to Yali.
"Run out?"
"Well, thank you." Hailian put on the mended blouse, he stood up and stretched his sleeves, "You are right in what you said just now, people's novelty will soon pass."
The girl blinked: "Why?"
"Because..." Hailian checked the equipment on his body one last time, "There will be something new soon."
