[R18] Pampered (NP) – “Pampered (NP)” Chapter 141 [English]

140. Xie’s corpse

“So, I sent people along the road to retrieve surveillance video.”

Ji Changgu clicked on another video.

The figure who had taken away her body hailed a taxi and drove straight to the suburbs.

At a secluded intersection, the woman got out of the car and disappeared into the dark alley with a bump on her feet.

The area nearby happened to be the wasteland where the news reported that her body was dumped.

No surveillance, no witnesses.

No one knew what the “woman” did next.

“Zhizhi, what are you going to do?”

He leaves the decision to her.

Firstly, it is impossible to hand over this evidence. What will be involved will not only be the strange method of committing the crime, but also their natural identities that are enough to shock the scientific community. Secondly, because Xie Mu is her childhood sweetheart who has known each other for more than ten years, she has more say in emotions and reasons.

Shen Lingzhi couldn’t help but take another look at he.

He is more considerate and thoughtful than she imagined.

“Let me think about it.”

She closed her eyes tiredly.

When Xie Mu helped her review the case, he said that he was not at the scene at the time of the case.However, the camera on the second floor showed that from the day before the crime when he went upstairs in the form of a black cat until the police filed in and broke into the so-called crime scene, there was no footage of him going downstairs.She lives on the eighth floor. Even if he doesn’t stay at her house 24 hours a day, he can’t jump directly from the eighth floor to avoid the pinhole camera on the second floor.

he is lying.

Ji Changgu played with her soft little hands and waited patiently for her answer.

Shen Lingzhi was dazed for a while, and finally said in a low voice, “I want to go to Xie’s house first.”

She remembered what Xu Ye said about the corpses stored in Xie’s backyard.

“Wait.” He touched her forehead with his forehead, “The temperature has dropped a little compared to before, which is indeed useful.”

The ending seemed to drag out meaningfully.

Although he looked serious, her face became hot.

“I’ll take you there.”

He didn’t ask why.

It was getting dark, Ji Changgu got in the car and started working hard, with a serious look on his face, bluetooth headphones in his ears, and his phone was almost on and off. There was a laptop on his lap, and his work mailbox was full of emails.

He has been extremely busy recently, so he deliberately took a short half-day to spend with her.

Shen Lingzhi’s mind was in a state of confusion and he had no intention of paying attention to anything else. He just stared out the window.

The Maybach stopped in front of the Xie family’s house. Ji Changgu took off his Bluetooth headset and said, “Do you want me to accompany you? I’m free now.”

Only then did she realize what the purpose of he had just been to work in every possible way.

Unfortunately, she shook her head.

“I can do it myself.”

Although he and she were once very close, Ji Changgu is still relatively new to her and cannot be trusted 100%.

What’s more, the topic she wants to discuss with the Xie family is relatively sensitive.

Although she was rejected, Ji Changgu still sent two bodyguards to follow her from a distance, held her face and kissed her.

“Be careful.”

“Okay.”

The person who opened the door for her was an assistant named Liang Zhi.

She noticed that Liang Zhi had been sulky towards her since they met.

Are everyone around Ji Changgu so serious?

She didn’t think much and hurried into Xie’s house.

Wen Xiang received her, and a table of melons, fruits and snacks was set up. His words were more cordial than before, as if to make up for the deception he had deceived her last time.Shen Lingzhi felt a little uncomfortable, and pressed Wen Xiang’s hand that had been busy peeling fruit for her, “Thank you Aunt Xiang, there are too many for me to eat, so don’t waste it. In fact, I came here today to ask you something.”

“If you have any questions, just ask.”

Shen Lingzhi carefully considered his words, “That’s right, I heard… Xie Mu said that there is a corpse in your backyard…”

Snap, the apple in Wen Xiang’s hand smashed to the ground.

she was startled.

I originally wanted to make a joke, but I didn’t expect Aunt Xiang’s reaction to be so big.

Wen Xiang reacted quickly and forced out a smile, “Sorry, sorry, Zhizhi, didn’t I hit you?”

“I’m fine.”

Wen Xiang cleaned up the mess on the ground, his fingertips trembling unnoticeably, “Did Xiaomu ask you to come here?”

“No, I wanted to come on my own.”

Shen Lingzhi answered cautiously.

Wen Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good boy, although I don’t know what Xiaogu said to you, you don’t need to come here specially.”

What does this mean?

Could it be that Aunt Xiang said that the corpse in the backyard was her, and she was advised not to look at it?

Shen Lingzhi was in a state of confusion, unsure of what Wen Xiang meant.

She can’t just ask: Can I see the body?

“Now that you’re here, come with me and take a look.”

After all, Wen Xiang felt ashamed of the child because of what happened last time, so he got up and led the way.

This is an unexpected bonus!Shen Lingzhi hurriedly followed.

The night is as cool as water, and the crescent moon is hidden in the clouds.

The swaying branches on the roadside reflected strange black shadows on the ground.

Passing through the veranda and rockery, we came to a seemingly ordinary Chinese-style hut, with flower-protecting bells jingling under the eaves.

Pushing open the door and entering, the cool air is filled with unknown incense.

The air conditioner turned on in the house.

Is it because the weather is hot and the body will not be preserved and the stench will spread?

“Arrived.”

Shen Lingzhi stopped following Wen Xiang and followed his gaze.

In the inner room, the quilt on the bed was bulging, as if someone was sleeping there.

No, there are people.

She saw a faint hint of black on the quilt.

Is…who…

her body?

Shen Lingzhi felt that his breathing was being tightened and his legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Wen Xiang stepped forward and lifted up some of the quilt, carefully laying his head flat, “This person always maintains the same posture which is not good for his health, so he has to sleep on his side occasionally.”

While speaking, Wen Xiang stepped aside.

She saw the face lying on the bed at a glance, and her pupils trembled.

An extremely familiar face.

Delicate, pale.

It’s Xie Mu!This Xie Mu is thinner than the one she saw this afternoon, with sharper edges and corners.

Wen Xiang thought she was frightened by the corpse, so he quickly covered her with a quilt and took her out.

Outside the house, there was a cool breeze, and Shen Lingzhi shivered unexpectedly.

“Don’t be afraid. Although Xiaogu’s soul is not in this body, it is still breathing and is not considered a corpse.”

It’s not a corpse…is that Xie Mu’s original body?

“Since the original body is still there, why doesn’t he come back?”

“I don’t know either.”

Wen Xiang smiled bitterly, everyone in the Xie family didn’t want Xiaomu to return to this body.After all, Xiaomu’s grandfather had predicted for Black Cat that there would be an unpredictable disaster in the future.However, Xiaomu didn’t want to come back at all…

“If you have the chance, can you help me persuade Xiaogu more?”

“Okay.”

Shen Lingzhi said goodbye to the Xie family in a hurry.

When I got in the car, my heart was still pounding.

Although her body was not found, it at least proved that Xie Muhe’s race can achieve an out-of-body experience!

What’s the matter of resurrecting a dead body? It’s obviously that the soul in her body has been artificially replaced!

Thinking about it carefully, Xie Mu had just met the Xie family not long ago. Even if he wanted to hide the body, how could he hide it in the Xie family?

Ji Changgu saw that she was panting heavily and handed her a glass of water.

She took the water and drank it. She accidentally touched his hand, and he frowned, “Why is it so cold?”

The hands are wrapped in he palms, drawing in the heat.

But she still felt cold in her heart. There were too many mysteries. She needed to ask Xie Mu immediately to find out!

Because it was too late, Ji Changgu sent her home first, and the matter was postponed until the next day.

When she saw Xie Mu again, he was sitting on the sand, not as leisurely as yesterday, with a pair of obsidian eyes burning her like fire, and lips as bright as blood, and she even suspected that he would pounce on her and suck her blood in the next moment.

She was stared at by he and her scalp was numb, and her heart was pounding.

By the way, Xie Mu can read minds.

He knows the purpose of her trip!

“Come here.”

Xie Mu finally said the first words of today’s meeting.

She sat on a chair five meters away from him and laughed dryly, “I think it’s pretty good here.”

“Then sit here while I go to bed.”

Seeing him walking towards the bed, she was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stopped him, “Wait, thank you…ah!”

As the world spun, she was pressed into the soft bed, and Xie Mu’s cool breath sprayed on her face.

“Why, you have the guts to doubt me but not the guts to approach me? Wife.”
