  Beast Pets are Shocking · Bad Little Boy, Don't Be Like This, 99, Sinking Fragrance (2)

  Guan Que returned to the office and called Meng Chui again, "Meng Chui, do you remember what Chen Xiang wore around his neck?"

  "Huh?" Mo Ze thought hard, but still couldn't get a clear picture. "I only vaguely saw that she had a red string around her neck, and the pendant was hidden inside her clothes, so I couldn't see what it was."

  Guan Que's interest was piqued, "Chen Xiang's body didn't have any other injuries besides the fall. Her clothes were all intact - except for the pendant that was tied to her neck with a red string. Mo Ze, can you ask around discreetly for me?"

  Mò zhān herself didn't wear any accessories, but she had seen other girls wearing them. College girls wouldn't overdo it with their accessories, but they would still decorate themselves as much as possible. As a result, almost every girl had to have a gold or platinum chain, usually with a delicate wave pattern, without pendants, and wrapped around the collarbone like a calm lake, commonly known as a "collarbone chain".

  In addition to this simple and elegant clavicle chain, some girls will also wear another one inside. Generally, it is a red rope tied with a secret object - either a family heirloom amulet, or a special souvenir given by a boyfriend, or even a small jade Buddha pendant for those who believe in Buddhism...

  In short, this red rope tied necklace is generally not shown to others unless they are roommates or close friends.

  What kind of grave will Chen Xiang's neck be hung on?

  And that pendant turned out to be the only thing that was gone, so it might become a crucial clue to crack the case, and she had to figure out what it was!

  Chen Xiang is a newcomer model who doesn't have her own agency and assistant, so Mu Ze can only focus on Chu Xiao and Liu Hui.

  Liu Hui's temperament is relatively gentle and weak, and her hostility towards Hu Mengdie is not that deep. She just wants to find a backing, so she follows Hu Mengdie and Chu Xiao together. Mo Yan asked Liu Hui, who is also a clever person, knowing that although Mo Yan is close to Hu Mengdie, there is still the relationship between Mo Yan and Hong He, so Liu Hui did not resist at all, and answered whatever Mo Yan asked.

  It wasn't until she was asked about the pendant on Chen Xiang's neck that Liu Hui hesitated and shook her head, "I'm not hiding it from you, I really don't know. Don't laugh at me, although I hang out with Chen Xiang and Chu Xiao, my relationship with Chen Xiang is actually much more distant than theirs. So how would I have seen the private pendant that Chen Xiang wears inside her clothes?"

  The cicada stopped singing.

  Liu Hui smiled quietly, "Mozhen, you came to ask me today, that means you trust me. Otherwise, you would have gone to find Chuxiao earlier. Since you are willing to trust me, I won't let you down either. To be honest with you, Chen Xiang didn't tell me what the pendant is, but I did sneak a peek at it once."

  The cicada raises its eyebrows.

  “……not gold nor jade, it seems to be a small wooden plaque.” Liu Hui shrugged her shoulders, “I can only tell you that much. Mochen, I hope we can also get closer in the future and not drift apart because of Hu Mengdie and Chen Xiang’s affairs.”

  Liu Hui left, and Meng Yan looked at her back, only able to sigh.

  Liu Hui is less than 20 years old, even younger than herself, looking also pale and soft, very harmless. However, she has already been in the modeling circle for a long time and has become very sophisticated - but it's not Liu Hui's personal problem, it's just the survival rule of this circle. This circle is all about 10-year-old girls becoming famous overnight, and it's a women's world, how can they not learn to scheme and fight to protect themselves?

  The cicada steeled itself and could only gnaw at that hard bone of dawn.

  Chu Xiao was closest to Chen Xiang and had a similar temperament. She always had a cold and stern expression when facing Mo Ze.

  Meng Yan didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "I think you must be hoping that Chen Xiang's case is solved as soon as possible and she gets justice."

  Chu Xiao was slightly moved, but her attitude remained haughty. "Then you shouldn't be asking me, you should go ask Hu Mengdie first! It's all because of the ghosts that Hu Mengdie brought in that Chen Xiang was harmed!"

  Misty cicada stared at the early dawn with a cold smile, "Well said. I also believe that there must be ghosts in this world, all those who died unjustly or still had unfinished business when they died, of course, shouldn't just go like that, they have to become ghosts and stay behind, repay kindness with kindness, repay grudges with grudges, only then can they leave contentedly — otherwise, it's not enough to demonstrate the great principle of fairness."

  Misty cicada sighed, "If Chen Xiang's spirit is still around, she must be hoping that you can help her. If she has become a ghost, she would definitely be standing right next to you, looking at you with expectant eyes."

  Xiao's face turned white, and she anxiously looked around her, "Don't scare me!"

  "Tell me," said Mochen, putting his hand on Chuxiao's shoulder. "Let's go together to help her and let her leave with peace of mind."

  Chu Xiao finally shed tears, "Don't you smell the faint fragrance on her body? It's also related to her name, she's wearing a agarwood pendant."

  What is Agarwood?

  It is roughly understood that it is a pendant made of small pieces of agarwood, some are carved into Buddha pendants, and others are plain wooden tablets without any carvings; there are also natural shapes, completely unworked by human hands, a small piece of fragrant wood.

  The cicada doesn't understand fragrance, looking at the small pendants in online pictures, without the dazzling of gold and jade, some are just a small piece of wood. It's hard to believe that such a small piece of wood would be treated as a precious pendant - why did the murderer steal a small piece of wood?

  When Mo Ze looked up the current price of agarwood, he was really frightened - the current price of agarwood is thousands to tens of thousands of yuan per gram!

  A silhouette emerged in his mind: could it be a plot for wealth?

  Was it said that the agarwood pendant on Chen Xiang's neck was worth a city, and someone saw or heard about it, so they pushed Chen Xiang down from the building to grab the agarwood pendant?

  "What you said makes sense, greed and murder are one of the main motives in homicide cases."

  Mò Tiān informed Guān Jiǎo about the matter of Chén Xiāng Zhuì and shared her own thoughts. Guān Jiǎo gave his affirmation, but still looked worried, "The value of Chén Xiāng Zhuì is a very important clue; however, Mò Tiān, I still can't figure it out, if the murderer was after wealth, why didn't they leave behind any valuable traces at the scene..."

  "The traces in the room, except for those of the deceased himself, all others have been ruled out over the past few days."

  Guan Que hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days and nights, he looked at Mo Yan tiredly, "......Are we fighting against an invisible man?"

  The cicada was startled by being locked up.

  The police uncle in my imagination is always tall and powerful, invincible. The Guan Xue in my memory is always a bright and smiling big brother, as if the sky had fallen, she only needs to hide under Big Brother Guan's arm and everything will be fine - with such a detective, all evil spirits and black societies would be finished... But at this moment, Big Brother Guan suddenly looks like an old man.

  Guan Guan also confirmed Mian's intuition. On the phone, Guan Guan whispered to Mian with some concern, "My brother is the most skeptical person, but these two days he often discusses a question with me: He asks me if I have watched so many horror movies in the past, do I believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

  The cicada was so startled that it didn't dare speak.

  "Alas, that damned murderer is really something! If it were a human being, how could there be no trace left behind? Meiyan, hurry back and accompany me to the temple to pray for my brother's safety, okay?"

  Perhaps it was being frightened by Guan Zheng and Guan Guan's words, but Meng Xiang spent the whole night trapped in a nightmare, struggling to wake up.

  In dreams, a reasoning chain repeatedly appears: Chen Xiang - Chén Xiāng; Chén Xiāng falls - Chen Xiang falls from the building...

  It's as if it was meant to be this way; Chen Xiang's death wasn't an accident, but a predetermined arrangement.

  "I don't believe in fate, I don't believe!" Meng Chuan waved his arms anxiously in his dream.

  Then he thought of what Qingyan Mochou had said, "Mozhen, do you believe in destined partners? Lu Yan is my destined partner."

  Then Mo Xie's face was as bright and clear as the moon, he gazed deeply at her and said, "I don't believe in fate. My life, after all, should be arranged by myself."

  Mò Xiǎo nodded vigorously towards Mò Yě in his dream, "Little evil one, you're right. You said it well."

  Her hand, which had been waving about wildly, was suddenly grasped and she calmed down. Her dreams seemed to stop tossing about as well. Then, by her ear, a clear voice like the moon said with a soft laugh, "Huh, you just realized?"

  Sleepiness suddenly dispersed with a whoosh, and Meng Xiang abruptly opened his eyes.

  The night was like black silk, with a crescent moon hanging at the edge of the sky like an eyebrow. The faint light only fell on the face of the young man in front of him.

  A cicada's sharp cry——

  Just as he was about to shout out, his mouth was covered up.

  A thin and cool piece, with a subtle fragrance flowing, tightly attached to her lips.

  In the same night, Hu Mengdie made an appointment with Mo Yan.

  Hu Mengdie and Chen Xiang were not on good terms before, so the police also cast suspicious eyes on Hu Mengdie. However, since no valuable clues were found in Chen Xiang's room, they could only temporarily rule out suspicion and agree to let Hu Mengdie and others continue to act freely.

  After Hu Mengdie gained her freedom, the first person she met was Mo Yan.

  Hu Mengdie saw Mo Yan and shed tears, "If I could have foreseen today's events, then I would rather not have signed the contract for 'Red Embroidered Shoes' in the first place. Without that case, I wouldn't have met Chen Xiang and gotten entangled in this lawsuit."

  Mo Yan smiled faintly, "Meng Die, you mean to say that you resent me for inviting you to participate in the audition for 'Red Embroidery'?"
