On the way to the Antique City.
Mu Qingxue sensed that something was wrong with Zhao Shuangshuang.
Zhao Shuangshuang, who had always been laughing and joking, had become quiet.
He wanted to say something but stopped.
He was unwilling to speak.
His smooth forehead was actually covered in sweat.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes.
"Shuang Shuang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Mu Qingxue frowned.
"No, it's nothing…I just remembered some bad memories.”
Zhao Shuangshuang bit her lips and said softly.
"Past events?"
Mu Qingxue tilted her head slightly and surveyed her surroundings. She looked at the roads around her with suspicion in her eyes.
What did this path remind her of?
"Are you really okay?"
Mu Qingxue tilted her head and said," Why don't we go somewhere else? I feel like you're afraid to come here…"
"Forget it. After all, this was my suggestion…I can't spoil your mood.”
Zhao Shuangshuang shook her head stubbornly. Her hand that was holding onto Zhang Xiazhi's was covered in sweat.
"It's good to come and take a look. One can't escape the past.”
"Perhaps, there will be unexpected results here," Zhang Xiazhi said softly.”
"Yes."
Zhao Shuangshuang nodded her head vigorously and heaved a sigh of relief. She seemed to have relaxed a little and forced out a smile."That's right. With the Great Immortal here, all the demons and ghosts will retreat. What am I afraid of?”
"Demons and ghosts?"
Mu Qingxue tilted her head and blinked.
What were these two old Riddlers trying to fool Xuan Xu about?
She didn't understand at all!
The three of them finally arrived at the antique street.
The place was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. It was an ancient wooden house with a small river in the middle. Lotus leaves and flowers floated in the river. There was a pavilion in the middle, and many people were feeding fish in the pavilion.
There were also many arch bridges with people coming and going.
"Shall we go to the pavilion to feed the fish?”
Mu Qingxue's eyes lit up with interest.
"No, I can't! We can go anywhere, but not there!"
Zhao Shuangshuang blurted out as she stared at the courtyard.
Although the entire street had been rebuilt, the things that had left a deep impression on her back then were still there.
Although she hadn't been here for eighteen or nineteen years, she recognized him at a glance!
Beside the pavilion, there was a well where one could throw a coin and make a wish.
"Let's go…"
Mu Qingxue had yet to speak.
Zhao Shuangshuang immediately changed the topic." Let's go and look at the antiques. We might even be able to pick them up. Hehe…"
"Picking up scraps? How was this possible? This was all a trick by antique dealers.”
Mu Qingxue shook her head." I've never heard of anyone who could pick up a treasure after so many years. If there was a real treasure, it wouldn't be our turn!”
"Then let's go take a look at the ancient dragon robe. I just checked the news. A mysterious philanthropist is holding a public auction and will donate the money to the families of the victims of the South Yard Dismembered Corpse Case. The remaining part will be used as a reward pool.”
Mu Qingxue paused for a moment before she continued," This reward pool is quite interesting. It's a charity project established by the police department and the rich. It has now accumulated more than ten million yuan. As long as you solve this case, you can get the full amount and even be awarded the title of hero.”
She finished speaking.
However, he realized that Zhao Shuangshuang's face had already turned as pale as paper.
Panic appeared in his eyes.
"Shuang Shuang, why don't we stop shopping and go back? I feel that your mental state is not right.”
Mu Qingxue frowned.
"Let's go take a look!"
Zhao Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and said firmly.
"Alright, are you really a gourmet?"
" What's on your mind?" Mu Qingxue could not help but say," Just tell me what's on your mind…I'll see if I can share your worries with you."”
Zhao Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment before looking at Zhang Xiazhi. She paused for a moment before she finally spoke,"Fifteen years ago, I saw…"
Before he could finish his sentence.
Mu Qingxue's phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
"Hello, who is it?"
Mu Qingxue answered the call.
"I'm the leader of the Capital City Special Task Force. My name is Wang Gang, and I'm in charge of execution-style serial murders. Where are you now? Come to the police station now. I have something to ask you.”
The other party said in an unquestionable tone.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
Mu Qingxue frowned. She was a little disgusted by the other party's commanding tone.
"I can't explain it over the phone. Come over now. We have to protect you. You're in great danger now and can be attacked at any time.”
Wang Gang said in a deep voice.
"Protect?"
Mu Qingxue was stunned.
Since he was protecting her, why did he use such a commanding tone?
Moreover, she did not know the other party and had never seen her identification. She would go over just based on a personal phone call?
"I'm sorry, I don't need any protection. I don't know your identity.”
Even though the other party's attitude was not good, Mu Qingxue still responded politely.
"Where are you now?"
Wang Gang paused and said,"I'm here to find you."”
Mu Qingxue had yet to speak.
Zhao Shuangshuang snatched the phone over." Are you sending a message or investigating? Can I ask anyone just because I'm on a private phone?”
"If there's anything, please use the landline to call us. We can cooperate with the investigation, but it has to be done according to the time. You can't just come and look for me without knowing your identity, right?”
Without waiting for the other party to call back.
Zhao Shuangshuang hung up.
"Let's go to the auction venue!"
Zhao Shuangshuang waved her hand and looked aggressive." Let's go pick up the leftovers."”
"Go, go, go!"
Mu Qingxue followed suit.
However, her hand was tightly wrapped around Zhang Xiazhi's arm.
He was frightened by Wang Gang's serious tone just now.
"Alright, Xuexue, how dare you take advantage of me!”
Zhao Shuangshuang hugged Zhang Xiazhi tightly.
Two peerless beauties were hugging Zhang Xiazhi's arms on both sides, causing quite a commotion in the antique street.
Amidst the noise and under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the few of them arrived at the end of the antique street.
It was very lively here, with a dazzling array of antique shops.
Many antique vendors were setting up stalls on the streets.
In the center, a stage was set up with more than ten security guards guarding it. It was a very lively open-air event.
Here, they met an acquaintance.
It was Bureau Chief Niu.
Next to him was the unkempt old man from before, Li Si?
What were these two doing at the antique street?
