Chapter 42: Being Underestimated by You is Really Annoying

  How she uses them is her freedom, but Yuan Yiqin's true intention was to tell her which of the talismans were the most powerful.

  It was as if before at the headquarters, Lu Zhuang summoned two small monsters to test her, she also casually drew out a talisman paper, if encountered with more powerful monsters, this casual draw could be very dangerous, letting her know which talismans had the strongest power, and having a clear mind.

  Benan nodded seriously and took note of it.

  "That's it, I'll go back and sleep some more. Trouble you for lunch." With that, Yuan Yiqin went out to return to his own room to make up for lost sleep.

  After these days of recuperation, Bei Nan's foot is almost fine, but Yuan Yi Qin still cautiously let her rest for a few more days. After all, they are going to "Mountain Clear Water Show" next, and they must be in the best state. More importantly, the villa at "Mountain Clear Water Show" cannot be booked for a while.

  In the following days, Yuan Yiqin occasionally helped with past cases, while Bei Nan ate and drank well with a calm face.

  "The mountain is clear and the water is beautiful" has been built for five years now, during which there have been several homicide cases. After the case was reported, it was immediately blocked by the Bei Group, and they privately compensated the families of the deceased with some money, after all, the matter ended unexpectedly.

  No, the previous cases were all suppressed as accidents. Even if the ordinary people saw suspicious corpses, they would not suspect that there was a monster, let alone suspect that it was done by the Bei Group.

  It's perhaps a bit early to say it was done by the Bei Shi Group, but one thing is for sure, they can't escape their involvement.

  If it happens once or twice, it's an accident. But if it happens three times, four times, or even more, then it's not just an accident.

  It's strange that such a powerful organization as the Bei Group wouldn't have any reaction at all to something happening on their own turf, not even sending someone to investigate.

  A murder took place, suppressing the wind and waves. Money was paid to settle the matter, and the incident quietly passed by without a sound.

  In the past, whenever a murder occurred, it was always discovered by an internal employee of 'Shan Qing Shui Xiu' in the first instance, and other tourists were unaware. This time, it just so happened that Liu's relative saw it, which led to the deployment of the Second Criminal Investigation Brigade. Otherwise, things would have been covered up again with money from the Bei Group.

  The incident did not cause much of a stir among tourists living on that side, but the police station had to take it seriously.

  They had also received several reports of bizarre murders happening in "Shan Qing Shui Xiu", but before they could send someone to the scene, people from the Bei Group had already handled it and brushed it off with a single sentence: "accidental death".

  Going out, there are many unexpected things. Although it is on the territory of the Bei Shi Group, they are not the direct cause of the tourists' death. Since the family members are willing to settle privately, then there is no business for the police at all.

  Listening to the intelligence gathered by Yuan Yiqin, Bei Nan was relieved that the second criminal investigation team had arrived in time. Now, even if the Bei Group wanted to cover up the matter, it would be difficult. The tourists were easy to appease, but the police department was not easy to handle. This really needed to be investigated thoroughly, inside and out, which would be enough to keep them busy.

  "I'm indeed clever."

  Yuan Yiqin was summoned by Lu Zhuang early in the morning and didn't return until noon, as soon as he entered the door, he said something like "How did I do?"

  Benan looked at him in the kitchen without a word.

  "Sure enough, as I expected, Bei Huanfan called me and asked for my help to suppress the matter." Yuan Yiqin walked into the kitchen, leaning against the refrigerator with a sly smile, looking at Bei Nan who was chopping vegetables with his head down.

  "You're now Miss Bei's boyfriend, so when the Bei Corporation gets into trouble, they'll naturally come looking for you. Who else would they look for? You're the deputy captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Unit, and it was your unit that handled the 'Mountain Clear Water' case." It was expected by Bei Nan that the Bei family would find Yuan Yi Qin.

  Bei Yanhua wasn't afraid of trouble, but when things got out of hand, it didn't do him any good either. Even if it wasn't a big deal, the police would still be coming to "Shan Qing Shui Xiu" every now and then to investigate, which would inevitably affect customer traffic. If some rumors were to spread, that would be a real headache.

  "Unfortunately, on the day of the murder case, when I received Officer Liu's call to rush to the scene, I had already called Uncle Zhuang over. Afterwards, he was the one who followed up on the case himself, and I just occasionally lent a hand. I believe the Bei family is aware of my situation, but they didn't call me until today, which makes me feel a bit uneasy." Yuan Yiqin smiled with a hint of ambiguity.

  Bei Nan stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at him saying: "There are two possibilities, first they know you're just the acting captain of the second criminal investigation team and that management rights have already been 'handed over' to Lu Zhuang. At first, they wanted to suppress the matter themselves, but the background of the second criminal investigation team is not weaker than that of the Bei Group. The second criminal investigation team is not so easily bought off either. I reckon things are really troublesome, so they want you to help say some good words, after all, you used to be the captain of the second criminal investigation team, everyone will give you some face."

  "The second possibility is that they are testing you, Yuan Yiqin, you wouldn't have done anything to make them suspicious, would you?"

  Yuan Yi Chen furrowed his brow: "It shouldn't be possible, my identity is well hidden, they can't possibly have discovered it. Besides, I've only been paying attention to your affairs recently, and keeping an eye on the Bai family was also for your sake. Logically speaking, they have no reason to suspect me."

  "In this second possibility, there are two sub-possibilities. One is that they're simply testing you, after all, we're currently 'interacting', and you can be considered to have some connection with the Bai family now. They probably haven't discovered my suspicions and precautions towards them. Maybe they just want to see if you're willing to work hard for the Bai family's sake. If that's really the case, then if you agree to help, you'll pass the test, and you'll be the most suitable candidate to be the son-in-law of the Bai family."

  "Another guess is that they are a bit suspicious of your identity, and can't guarantee that you won't approach me first and then investigate something at the Bei family. Given all the evil things Bei Yanhua and Bei Huan have done, it's not impossible for them to be cautious about everything."

  "But either way, if you don't help out, the consequences will be terrible." Benan said with a gloating expression.

  Yuan Yiqin smiled and looked at her, taking a step forward, with both hands on the table, enclosing her in his arms, and said with a face of admiration: "Bei classmate, how did I not discover that your reasoning and analytical skills are so powerful?"

  Benan's body slightly leaned back, awkwardly keeping a distance from him.

  "It's really annoying to be underestimated by you."
