Chapter 14 Move in and live with me 2

  The car was running smoothly on the road, and the two people in the carriage had not exchanged a single word since Benan got on the train, they just looked at each other with their eyes once and then there was no more verbal communication.

  Benan twisted his head to look out of the window at the rapidly passing scenery, with a somewhat bored expression.

  A faintly familiar scent wafted through the air, causing her thoughts to become scattered.

  "A very familiar smell, I don't remember where I've smelled it before." She murmured and said a sentence.

  Yuan Yiqin's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the front as he spoke after a moment: "That's an incense stick for warding off evil spirits. When I was handling some cases earlier, some unclean things got into the car, so I burned one."

  Benan nodded calmly.

  Yuan Yiqin said immediately: "This thing is generally not available for purchase even if one has the money, you seem very familiar with it, have you come into contact with it before?"

  "Maybe."

  "I'm really curious how many things you've actually come into contact with?" Yuan Yiqin said coldly, his heart full of curiosity and suspicion.

  He thoroughly investigated all the information about Benan that could be found from her childhood to adulthood. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have come into contact with those messy things. A big girl who doesn't leave the house wouldn't know how to ward off evil spirits. Even if she can see ghosts, when she was pulled down into the deep water by Shao Yiyang's vengeful spirit at the swimming pool, it showed that she didn't have any resistance at all.

  This exorcising incense is made from the ancestral recipe of the Demon-Expelling Family, so how could she feel familiar with it?

  He had too much curiosity about her, but looking at her sitting obediently in the passenger seat, Yuan Yiqin's mouth curled up with a faint smile, and after being under the same roof, he had plenty of opportunities to slowly unravel those mysteries.

  Yuan Yiqin's apartment is located in a quiet and peaceful residential area.

  "It's really ordinary." Benan said as he looked at the ordinary floor in front of him when getting off the car.

  "Sorry about that, you'll have to get used to it from now on, Miss Bei." Yuan Yiqin got out of the car and picked up Bei Nan's things, tilting his head to signal her to go upstairs.

  Because they lived on the second floor, the two of them went directly up to the second floor on foot.

  The decoration style of the two-bedroom apartment is simple and elegant, the area is not very large, but because he lives alone, it does not feel crowded, and the decorations inside are all neatly arranged.

  "The inside is beyond my expectation, but it's very much your style." Benan praised simply and cleanly.

  "Thank you, just take a look at these two rooms. If you like the one I'm living in, I'll move out and let you have it," said Yuan Yiqin.

  Bei Nan looked around curiously, gazing at the tidy room, and couldn't help but turn to look at Yuan Yiqin who was already sitting on the sofa resting. He teased: "Are you a cleanliness freak or is it because I'm coming over that you've cleaned up so thoroughly?"

  "Half and half, I spend a small part of my time living here, usually I live in the headquarters." Yuan Yiqin leaned back on the sofa, looking very tired: "You handle it yourself, I'll take a rest." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes to rest.

  "Didn't you sleep last night?"

  "Ever since the Shaoyi Ya incident, I've hardly slept at all. I don't know if I should thank someone for being able to torture me like this." He said with some sarcasm.

  Benan rolled her eyes and coldly snorted without responding to him, then turned around and entered the room.

  Yuan Yiqin's words undoubtedly referred to her and Xiao Xi. She didn't want to explain anything, as this would only make things worse.

  Explanation is disguise, disguise is fact, Benan understands this principle and also knows that not explaining is equivalent to admitting.

  She didn't care anymore, anyway they would suspect that those murder cases were related to her Xiao Xi no matter how she explained. She didn't want to continue with the weak defense, as long as she believed Xiao Xi was innocent it was enough.

  Just wait, one day the truth will come out and Xiao Xi's innocence can be restored.

  Yuan Yiqin's apartment had only two rooms, one main bedroom and one side bedroom. After taking a look at the main bedroom where Yuan Yiqin lived, Bei Nan very naturally carried his luggage into the side bedroom next door. Everything was there, it was just a bit smaller in size.

  Although Yuan Yiqin said that if she wanted to live in the master bedroom, he would move out and give it to her.

  But Bei Nan has never been one who likes trouble, and moving back and forth would be too much of a hassle, so she still moved into that side room.

  In the afternoon, she was packing her luggage in the room, and Yuan Yiqin fell asleep leaning on the sofa.

  "Bei Tong, what do you want to eat for dinner? Do you want to go out or eat at home?" Yuan Yi Qin lazily leaned against the door frame, looking at Bei Nan who was hanging clothes in front of the closet.

  Bei Nan's movements paused for a moment because of the word "home" from Yuan Yi Qin's mouth, and then continued with his hands, casually asking: "Can you cook?"

  "I... can do a little." Yuan Yiqin's expression was slightly embarrassed, and that "little" degree was only barely enough to swallow down food, not enough to starve herself to death. That kind of cooking skill was not worthy of being served at a banquet. "As a 'girl', don't you know how?"

  Bei Nan raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at him: "You mean I'll be cooking?"

  "If I could," said Yuan Yiqin matter-of-factly. "If I could eat dinner made by Miss Bei with my own hands, I think I would have more motivation to negotiate with the leaders of the bureau and strive to get the prison visit permit for Jia Mucun as soon as possible. What do you think?"

  Threat, threat of the red fruit.

  Looking at that cold and stern face with a hint of a wicked smile, Bei Nan gritted his teeth tightly, then smiled slightly and said: "A man under another's roof must lower his head, Captain Yuan, if you don't despise my skills, I'd be more than happy to serve."

  "Then I'll leave it to you, there's ingredients in the fridge, cook whatever you like, I'm not picky." Yuan Yiqin dropped the words and turned around with a satisfied expression.

  Benan thought of something and immediately followed him out.

  "Yuan Yiqin, tell me how confident you are that I should go see Jia Mucun?"

  Yuan Yiqin still needs to negotiate with the leaders in the bureau, it can be seen that so far he has not confirmed anything, what if the superiors refuse, then she will have been deceived for nothing.

  "Since I said I can help you get it, then I definitely can. I'll do my best to hurry up, so please be patient." Yuan Yiqin stopped in his tracks, his expression changing from calm to serious. "At the same time, I also hope that there won't be any more cases that give me a headache. You know what I mean, don't you?"

  In other words, let her Xiao Xi stop killing people casually.

  "It has nothing to do with Xiao Xi, stop bothering me." Bei Nan's face changed color, feeling inexpressible annoyance, glared at Yuan Yiqin and strode towards the kitchen.

  Listening to the kitchen coming from the clanging sound, Yuan Yiqin's mouth corner hooked a shallow smile, and then smiled, sat on the sofa holding the phone, flipping through the address book ready to contact his old friend.
