At first, Shen Bing didn't believe that ghost teeth could be refined into black pearls, saying that it was simply a fantasy. If you want to deceive her, you have to find a better reason. This explanation is too bad. To deal with someone like her who is serious and persistent, you have to produce evidence. As a last resort, I brought out the ancestral precepts and the store's income records. She looked at it for a long time, combined with the rules she saw in the store that I collected ghost teeth, and finally reluctantly believed it.

She fell to the ground, looking depressed, mumbling that she had thought she would catch a big fish, but it turned out to be just a loach. She had wasted so much effort and sacrificed two colleagues. It was not worth it. I rolled my eyes and slowly got the truth out of her. You can't talk to her too directly, otherwise you won't get an answer. If you slow-cook the chicken, she will accidentally let it slip.

It turned out that there was more than one person who was involved in the provincial capital's antique dealers. In the industry, they are called "artifact brokers." They specialize in dealing in antiques of unknown origin, most of which come from tomb robbers. Their deaths were indeed bizarre. Not only were their deaths horrific, but they also didn't lose anything after their deaths. What's even more strange is that after the antique dealer who contacted me was killed, all the black pearls made of ghost teeth were robbed.

The police found the account of goods in and out at his home, and discovered that the black pearls were supplied to him by a man named Xifeng from a remote town. After many days of investigation, they found no clues, so they had to start from the source of the goods, so they sent Shen Bing and others to our Shangcheng Town overnight. Speaking of this, I have to praise them. They actually found out what my store was doing before coming here, so she played the ghost.

However, Shen Bing was very disappointed when she learned that although my black pearls were of unknown origin, they were definitely not obtained illegally.

But my subsequent analysis helped her regain her spirits and see a ray of light in her lost path. They had not stopped anywhere on their way here, which meant that the living corpse was not encountered on the road. Then the two ghosts killed her two colleagues in the town and did not let her go, which meant that they were definitely coming for them. The antique dealer tragedy might be related to the living corpse, or even definitely related.

Shen Bing turned over and lay on the bed, her big black eyes rolling around, and she smiled at me, "I think it's a waste for you not to be a clerk. It's a pity that such a good mind and skills are buried among the people. Why don't you come back with me and serve the motherland as a clerk."

As soon as I saw her cunning eyes, I guessed her intention and said disdainfully: "Stop flattering me. If you think this case is difficult to handle, find a Taoist priest for help. I will never interfere."

"You are such a stupid person. You won't even be able to get a wife if you stick to your ancestral teachings." Shen Bing pouted angrily as I saw through her intention.

"But if you are willing to be my wife, this matter is not beyond negotiation." I said jokingly.

"Bah, go and dream about your Qingqiu. You are a country bumpkin, are you worthy enough to chase after a beauty like me?"

After spending most of the night with her, I realized that she basically didn't think before she spoke, she didn't mean any harm, and she was the type who would get along very well with people as soon as she met them, she would say whatever she wanted to say, so I didn't take it seriously, just lowered my head and fanned the flames and ignored her.

After a long silence, she frowned and said, "What's that smell? It's so bad. Have you not showered for days?" She said as she got up.

After being silent for a while, she frowned and said, "What's that smell? It's so bad. Haven't you taken a shower in several days?" She said as she got up.
