The ghost carrying the coffin of a dragon giving birth to a son

I sat back in the box again, and Lu Yan's attitude changed drastically from before.

Lu Yan filled my glass with wine, raised his glass to me and said:

"Master Ding, if there was something wrong just now, I apologize to you, and please don't share my knowledge. I will punish myself with three drinks first."

Seeing Lu Yan's attitude, I finished the wine in my glass, and the previous unpleasantness was over.

Lu Yan took the initiative and said:

"Master Ding, Zhuang Nian died last night. This incident caused a lot of commotion in the underworld. Zhuang Nian's uncle is very powerful in the underworld and wants to thoroughly investigate the murderer and avenge Zhuang Nian."

"I'm taking over Zhuang Nian's position for the time being. I came up tonight to have a meeting with Master Ding and see if Master Ding has any ideas."

My expression didn't change at all, but I was a little surprised.

Minglou told me that Zhuang Nian's death was over, but Lu Yan said this again. Who is telling the truth?

I pondered for a while and thought that what Ming Lou and Lu Yan said were true.

The level of Minglou's understanding is much higher than that of Lu Yan. What Lu Yan may have seen is just the appearance of the problem, and appearances are usually false.

Suddenly I knew what was going on and asked:

"Master Lu, I wonder what you have in mind?"

Lu Yan wanted to see my attitude, and now I want to see his.

Lu Yan wasn't sure that I was the one who killed Zhuang Nian, and wanted to find out more about it, but I didn't do what he wanted.

If it were just now, Lu Yan would definitely not be happy if I asked him like this.

But with the implicit threat I just made, Lu Yan said with a smile on his face:

"My opinion is very simple. Zhuang Nian was once the executioner of the underworld and killed many evil ghosts. This time it may be the evil ghosts who came to take revenge."

"No matter how the underworld investigates, I have never met Master Ding before the incident, and I have never had any contact with Master Ding."

I understood what Lu Yan said, smiled and raised his glass:

"Master Lu, this idea is really good. From now on, Master Lu will be my friend. I will certainly not miss Master Lu if I have the benefit."

Lu Yan looked at me and laughed loudly:

"Come on, let's toast!"

After Lu Yan finished drinking the wine in his glass, he stood up and said:

"Master Ding, I still have a lot of official work to be busy with. I won't drink with you for too long tonight. I'll treat you next time. I'll pay the bill."

Looking at Lu Yan's leaving figure, I shook my wine glass with a smile on my face.

Bai Lin jumped out of her backpack. She poured herself a glass of wine, tasted it slowly, and asked with squinted eyes:

"Ding Lin, will this Lu Yan betray you?"

I smiled and said:

"If I were talking just now, he might have betrayed me, but now, he won't."

Bai Lin asked: "You are so sure, what if he betrays you?"

I smiled and said, "Lu Yan is a man who seeks wealth steadily. He finally had the opportunity to sit in Zhuang Nian's position and will not cause trouble for himself."

"Although he has no evidence that I killed Zhuang Nian, he is not stupid. He must have guessed it."

"If I can kill Zhuang Nian, I can definitely kill him. He won't be so stupid as to cause trouble for himself."

Bai Lin nodded in understanding, sipping the wine in large gulps, looking like he was enjoying it immensely.

I can completely let go of the Zhuang Nian matter. There is no evidence and this matter cannot be traced to me.

If nothing goes beyond my expectations, it won’t be long before this matter goes to waste.

As for Zhuang Nian's pursuit of me, hey, everyone is dead, so the order is invalid. It's just that he wants to kill me, and it's not someone else, so others won't cause this trouble.

The crisis was over and I returned to Anyang City.

Last time I left in a hurry and didn't say hello to Xu Yin, which was very rude.

I made an appointment with Xu Yin for dinner and waited for her in the restaurant.

After get off work in the evening, Xu Yin opened the door and walked in. I waved to her, and she came over and asked with a smile:

"Ding Lin, why do you think of treating me to dinner?"

I handed her the menu, smiled and said:

"Last time I left in a hurry and didn't inform you. It was rude of me. Naturally I wanted to treat you to a guest to make amends."

"You can order whatever you want to eat. I'll treat you today."

Xu Yin joked:

"Ding Lin, we are friends after all. Are you not treating me as a friend by being so polite?"

"When I work here, I should do my duty as a landlord. I'm here to treat you to this meal. Don't steal it from me."

I couldn't laugh or cry immediately, nodded, and didn't argue about this trivial matter.

Xu Yin asked:

"Did you resolve the matter with Jiang Wansong last time?"

I smiled and nodded:

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have time to have dinner with you."

"By the way, I was able to accomplish that thing so well, thanks to the clues provided by your good sister. If you have time, help me ask her out. I'll treat her to a meal."

Xu Yin said with a smile:

"It's easy. I'll give you her phone number. Wouldn't it be better for you to make an appointment with her yourself?"

I nodded, that's fine.

The two of us were chatting about some interesting topics, and Xu Yin suddenly said:

"Ding Lin, have you heard? A few days ago, a sixth-grade official from the underworld came to the earth and was killed."

I pretended to be confused and asked:

"Is there such a thing? Could it be that your City God's Mansion needs to help the underworld hunt down the murderer?"

Xu Yin shook his head and said:

"We were not asked to help assist in the pursuit. We just heard about it."

"Who do you think is so bold and dares to kill a sixth-grade official in the underworld? This is a big deal. Isn't there going to be chaos in the underworld?"

I smiled and didn't say anything about it.

Xu Yin saw that I was not interested in this matter, so she stopped talking.

While we were chatting, I suddenly saw a familiar figure walking into the restaurant.

Looking at that person, I said in surprise:

"So coincidentally?"

Xu Yin followed my gaze and said in surprise:

"Qiu Lingwei? Ding Lin, do you know Qiu Lingwei?"

It was Qiu Lingwei who came to the restaurant.

I smiled and nodded:

"I met her once, do you know her too?"

Xu Yin smiled and said:

"Of course I know her. She works in the Yin Temple. We have dealt with her before. She looks like a cold woman like ice, but she is extremely kind in her heart."

"Since we are all acquaintances, let's invite her to have dinner together."

I nodded, I hadn't thanked her for what happened last time.

Xu Yin stood up and waved to Qiu Lingwei and shouted:

"Lingwei, this way!"

Qiu Lingwei looked this way. When she saw me, a strange color flashed in her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she walked over this way.

Xu Yin smiled and said:

"Lingwei, what a coincidence today, I met you here."

"Ding Lin said you know each other, so I don't need to introduce him."

I nodded to Qiu Lingwei and said with a smile:

"Miss Qiu, we meet again."

Qiu Lingwei nodded. She was still as cold as ever and spoke very little.

Xu Yin is a smart person. During the meal, she saw that Qiu Lingwei and I had something to say, so she quickly found an excuse and left.

There were only two of us left. Qiu Lingwei put down her chopsticks, stared at me and said:

"Zhuang Nian is dead."

I pretended to be confused and asked: "Who is Zhuang Nian?"

Qiu Lingwei stared into my eyes and said:

"Zhuang Nian is the master of Zhao Ze, the official official of the underworld. It was Zhuang Nian who ordered you to be arrested. Were you the one who killed Zhuang Nian?"

I:"……"
