The next day.
Early morning.
Qingzhou's Jingye Bureau.
In the main hall of the bureau.
Lin Fan sat in the middle of the back hall.
Below him stood Gong Ziyu, Ye Hanqiu, Lei Jun, and Xia Qiusheng.
As the deputy, Lei Jun was the closest to Lin Fan. As the Internal Affairs Commissioner, Xia Qiusheng was the furthest away. The strange case that happened outside had little to do with him as the Internal Affairs Commissioner. He was only in charge of internal affairs.
Ye Hanqiu carried a long sword on his back and stood still with a solemn expression. He still looked cold and aloof.
The only female, Gong Ziyu, couldn't calm down. She paced back and forth in the main hall. However, she wasn't pacing around anxiously because of the case. Instead, she was strolling leisurely.
Today, she was still wearing a thin translucent robe, but the color had changed to pink. There was a white jade belt around her waist, and her long hair hung down naturally. As she walked, her slender waist and hair swayed together like a snake.
With the strange case in front of them, everyone's expression was solemn. Only this woman still had an indifferent attitude. This attitude was clearly inconsistent with her identity as a supervisor.
The organization's internal informants kept sending in news one after another.
This news was no longer a secret to Lin Fan. After all, he had already checked once last night.
Now, Lin Fan had the most comprehensive information. No one understood the case better than him.
At this moment, another informant hurried in and reported, "Sir, the people from the patrol office have arrived at the scene. They're investigating the case …"
Lin Fan was surprised. Then, he smiled bitterly. "Them?
What does it have to do with them? "
The informant said, "They think it's a murder case?"
The others were also stunned. Then, they shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
"Tell them that they can't handle this case.
Our Jingye Bureau has already taken over. "
As Ye Hanqiu spoke, he took off his waist token and tossed it to the informant. The informant immediately accepted the order and left.
"My Lord, this is a matter of our External Affairs Department. I will personally oversee it." Ye Hanqiu cupped his fists towards Lin Fan and requested.
Ye Hanqiu could not help but feel anxious and confused as to why Lin Fan had remained unmoved from the start to the end and had only sent the informants to investigate the matter. It was as though Lin Fan did not take this matter to heart at all.
If it wasn't for Lin Fan solving the case of the Magic Sound Wall, he wouldn't have believed that this youth, who was three years younger than him, would be qualified for the position under him.
"No need," Lin Fan said calmly.
"There's a poetry gathering to be held later."
"What?
Poetry recital? "
Everyone was stunned, including Xia Qiusheng, who smiled bitterly.
In his heart, he wondered if this nephew of his could not be an official.
After such a big case, he still had the mood to hold a poetry recital!
However, as an Internal Affairs Emissary, it was naturally inconvenient for him to speak at this time. Moreover, publicly pointing out Lin Fan's mistake was clearly undermining this nephew of his.
"My Lord, I won't be participating in the poetry recital. I'm an uncouth man and don't know how to compose poems. Why don't you leave this case to me to investigate?" Lei Jun cupped his fists and said.
After he became the Deputy Emissary, he was very excited every day. Aside from practicing hard, he was also looking forward to the case happening so that he could display his skills and make a name for himself. In short, Lei Jun's life was only about martial arts and making a name for himself. There was nothing else. An event like the poetry recital was a living torture for him.
Lin Fan glanced at Lei Jun and smiled. "Even if you don't know how to do it, you still have to learn. In our line of work, just having martial arts is not enough. You have to develop in all aspects …"
Hearing this, Lei Jun was startled. When the others heard this, they were also startled. They looked puzzled and muttered in their hearts. Composing poems and handling cases had nothing to do with each other. Lin Fan was simply fooling around, absurd, and neglecting his duty.
Only Gong Ziyu's pretty face remained unchanged. Her slender jade hand picked up a lock of soft hair and kept fiddling with it, as if she didn't hear what the others were saying.
Normally, Lin Fan didn't pay attention to the case. As the supervisor, she should naturally stand up and say something, or even reprimand him. However, she didn't.
Ye Hanqiu sighed and looked at Gong Ziyu. "Supervisor, what do you think about this case …"
Gong Ziyu was startled. She looked at Ye Hanqiu and was slightly surprised. From the time they met until now, this was the first time Ye Hanqiu said anything to her.
It wasn't that she hadn't struck up a conversation with this handsome man before, but in the end, he just nodded and didn't say a word. Therefore, she was a little surprised at this time. She smiled and said, "Ye Hanqiu, are you talking to me?"
Ye Hanqiu was startled and then frowned. "Yes, Supervisor. I think you have the most right to speak at this time …"
"That's rare."
Gong Ziyu smiled happily. She flicked her slender finger and a black light flashed. The hair wrapped around her finger fanned out like black satin, dazzling everyone's eyes.
"I think the Governor is right. We should have a poetry party and have a good time …" Gong Ziyu said with an excited smile.
Seeing this, the other three people except Lin Fan were startled and frowned. Fooling around, simply fooling around. As the supervisor, she didn't supervise Lin Fan's behavior and instead indulged him.
"Since the Supervisor has spoken, I've decided that the poetry party will begin immediately. Everyone, please move to the back garden," Lin Fan said as he stood up.
Xia Qiusheng frowned. Compared to Lei Jun, he hated poetry parties more. He was a rough man and it was harder for him to compose poems than to eat shit.
But he had no choice. This was his nephew's event and he had to support him.
"Master Internal Affairs Envoy, go and prepare some wine and fruit. Send them to the back garden in a quarter of an hour." Lin Fan instructed Xia Qiusheng.
"Yes."
Xia Qiusheng felt as if he had been granted amnesty and immediately slipped away. He felt that Lin Fan was going easy on him, so he felt that he should go in half an hour.
Lin Fan led the three of them to the back garden. Qingzhou's Jingye Bureau was temporarily borrowing the state capital's former official residence. It was a large antique house. Because this house had been haunted before, it had been abandoned for a period of time. Therefore, although it was called a back garden, it was actually just a piece of barren land. It was as big as a football field. Arriving at the back garden, Ye Hanqiu looked at the wild grass all over the place and muttered, "If we don't have the mood and the environment, why would we organize a poetry gathering?"
Hearing Ye Hanqiu's muttering, Lin Fan smiled disapprovingly. "Find someone to renovate it in the future.
It's a good place to have fun. "
"The scenery after renovation will appear fake. No matter how good it is, it will still have a bit of craftsmanship. In fact, it's quite good like this. It's full of natural and wild charm." Gong Ziyu was excited. He opened his arms and ran happily through the grass like a butterfly.
Seeing this, Ye Hanqiu shook his head. Lei Jun frowned.
Seeing Gong Ziyu's free and easy craziness, Lin Fan suddenly had a bad taste in his heart. He thought that it was better to have sex in the wild here.
He didn't say this thought out loud. If he did, Ye Hanqiu would explode.
"I'll make a poem for it first."
Lin Fan knew that no one was in the mood to make a poem at this time. Lei Jun could come because he was completely submissive to him. Ye Hanqiu could come because he didn't dare to disobey him.
In fact, he wasn't in the mood to make a poem, and he wasn't in the mood to organize a poetry party. Therefore, he directly opened his mouth and said, "Three-inch little golden lotus, ten slender fingers, two beautiful peaks …"
He walked towards Gong Ziyu as he made the poem. When Gong Ziyu heard his poem, he chuckled and shouted, "Good poem, good poem …"
Lin Fan said, "Who can continue the next sentence?"
Ye Hanqiu frowned. Lei Jun was expressionless, as if he didn't hear it. He couldn't understand what Lin Fan was saying at all.
"I'll do it, I'll do it …" Gong Ziyu raised his hands and smiled excitedly. "Three-inch little golden lotus, ten slender fingers, two beautiful peaks, two beautiful peaks, many beautiful peaks …"
Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. "No, no, wrong … think again …"
Gong Ziyu said, "Three-inch little golden lotus, ten slender fingers, two beautiful peaks, many beautiful peaks …"
"That's right, that's right. Three-inch little golden lotus, ten slender fingers, two beautiful peaks, many beautiful peaks, many beautiful peaks …"
Lin Fan recited loudly, and Gong Ziyu happily cooperated with him. When Lin Fan recited the first sentence, he raised a small foot. When he recited the second sentence, he stretched out his white hands. When he recited the third sentence, he puffed out his charming chest. When he recited the fourth sentence, he flicked his enchanting long hair …
This had completely become a poetry and dance party. Looking at the two of them, Lei Jun's mind went blank. He secretly shook his head. What kind of trick was this? He couldn't understand it at all!
Ye Hanqiu was furious. Crazy, these two people were crazy. The highest leader and supervisor of Qingzhou's Jingye Bureau were crazy. Qingzhou's Jingye Bureau was finished!
"Come, everyone recite with me." Lin Fan turned to Lei Jun and Ye Hanqiu and said, "Three-inch little golden lotus, ten slender fingers …"
Lei Jun opened his mouth mechanically, but Ye Hanqiu didn't move his mouth at all. He thought to himself, Hmph, it seems that Lord Ji still has foresight. He must have seen that Lin Fan is unreliable and specially sent me to monitor him. Lord Ji really has discerning eyes.
At this moment, along with the recitation of the incantation, a hissing sound was heard. It was as if thousands of snakes were spitting out their tongues at the same time. Along with this sound, thousands of strands of hair emerged from the ground. They were like wild grass, densely packed. In an instant, the entire garden was filled with hair …
