Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

Chapter 196 Uncle, Brother

Sunday morning.

"Are we going out again today?" Qin Yuyang asked, sitting in his seat as he saw Xiao Jiu Jiu carrying coal balls as she came down.

It's only 7:30 in the morning; they usually don't get up that early.

Nodding obediently, Xiao Jiu Jiu said, "Yes, I'm going out with Uncle to find Brother Yu today."

"Looking for Yu Zhinian? What happened?" Qin Yuhai asked, puzzled.

In his eyes, looking for Yu Zhinian meant that nothing good was going to happen.

Xiao Jiujiu thought for a moment and briefly explained what happened yesterday: "We were supposed to be arresting a suspect, but the suspect was already dead, and his vital organs were missing."

"So we suspect that there are other people pulling strings behind the scenes."

After a pause, Xiao Jiujiu looked at Qin Yuyang and said, "Dad, you should also be careful."

"Okay, it's alright, I'll be careful." Qin Yuyang nodded and continued eating his breakfast.

After Xiao Jiu Jiu finished eating, Qin Yu Hai still hadn't come downstairs: "Has your uncle forgotten something? He's still not up."

[I can go and call him] Coal Ball had finished eating and walked to Little Nine's feet.

It targeted the chair, jumped up, and squatted down next to Xiao Jiu: [It has absolutely no sense of time!]

"I'll go call my uncle. Isn't Dad at work today?" Xiao Jiu Jiu looked at Qin Yu Yang with a smile.

Qin Yuyang: "I'm also taking a break, but I have an appointment to play golf, so I have to go out."

"Okay, Dad's wish comes true!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu casually remarked, then happily ran upstairs with the coal ball in his arms.

Qin Yuyang paused, a smile appearing on his face.

Xiao Jiu said that because he could get what he wanted, so he felt much more at ease going out.

"Knock knock knock."

Xiao Jiu Jiu knocked on Qin Yu Hai's door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Uncle, why aren't you up yet!"

"Hmm?" Qin Yuhai's voice came from inside: "What time is it, Xiao Jiu?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu, standing outside the door, glanced at her phone watch instinctively: "It's already eight o'clock, Uncle, get up quickly."

"Call Yu Zhinian first and ask where we're meeting. I'm getting up to wash now."

Qin Yuhai got up and went to the bathroom with a stern face.

He usually gets up at 8:30.

The hours are quite flexible for a consultant.

Since Xiao Jiu came, he has been sleeping much less.

Little Jiu Jiu muttered, "You stinky little uncle, humph!"

[When I first met your uncle, I thought he was a cold and aloof person, but he turned out to be such a sleepyhead.] Coal Ball meowed beside him.

"Wang!"

The sound of a dog barking came from Xiao Jiu's room.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Oh dear, did we forget to order cream when we got up?"

I bet even the cream is hungry.

Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly ran back to her room.

The door opened, and Cream was lying there, looking dejected: [So hungry, nothing to eat, so sad]

"cream!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu called out, walked over and touched Cream's ears: "Go down and have breakfast, Cream!"

You were still sleeping, and I didn't even wake you up.

"Wang!"

Xiao Jiu is still the best!

Cream got up, excitedly wagging its tail and circling around Little Nine a few times before running downstairs.

After Cream left, Xiao Jiujiu took out her phone and made a call to Yu Zhinian.

The phone rang for a while before someone answered: "Who is it?"

"Brother Yu, it's me!"

Little Jiu Jiu called out in her childish voice.

Yu Zhinian's tone immediately softened, "Xiao Jiu, it's you. What do you need me for?"

After recounting yesterday's events, Xiao Jiujiu snorted, "I suspect this matter is related to Xiao Hei Zi's situation. The child in the deceased's womb died a terrible death and had no soul."

"I understand. You can come over now. I'm not in the Special Investigations Department right now." Yu Zhinian pinched the bridge of his nose and stood up.

Xiao Jiu Jiu asked curiously, "Then where are you?"

“I’m staying at home tonight. I’ll send you the address. You and Qin Yuhai can come over.”

As he spoke, Yu Zhinian sent the address to Xiao Jiujiu.

Xiao Jiujiu glanced at it and said, "Okay, then I'll go find you, Brother Yu, after Uncle has had breakfast."

"Row."

Xiao Jiu Jiu hung up the phone and patted the coal ball beside her: "Coal Ball, come with me."

[Hmm] Coal Ball looked next door: [Shouldn't Qin Yuhai be ready by now?]

"I gonna go see."

Little Jiu Jiu got up and ran over excitedly: "Uncle, aren't you done yet? Get up quickly!"

"Coming, coming!" Qin Yuhai opened the door, dressed in casual clothes. "Let's go."

"it is good."

Xiao Jiu Jiu and Qin Yu Hai walked out, and as they walked, Xiao Jiu Jiu sent him the address: "Brother Yu is at this location, we can just go here."

"it is good."

The two set off for Yu Zhinian's residence.

Yu Zhinian's residence is in the suburbs of the capital.

It took almost two hours just to drive there.

"This area is an eco-friendly residential development zone with 90% vegetation coverage, making it a great place to live."

Qin Yuhai glanced out the window and chuckled, "When your uncle has money, I'll buy one too."

"Hehe, okay."

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled.

The car drove for more than ten minutes and arrived at the villa area.

These villas are all in the style of antique and modern Chinese architecture, with particularly large courtyards, and each villa is independent.

The car stopped in front of address number 666, and Xiao Jiu Jiu got out first and rang the doorbell.

The walkie-talkie at the door started buzzing.

Soon, Yu Zhinian's voice came: "Xiao Jiu, the door is open."

"Okay, Brother Yu." Xiao Jiu Jiu ran back to the car.

Just then, the door slowly opened, and Qin Yuhai drove in.

The car was parked in the yard, and Xiao Jiu Jiu got out of the car again.

"Wow, there's a lake, a rockery, and statues. This feng shui arrangement is pretty good." As soon as Xiao Jiu Jiu got out of the car, her gaze fell on the pavilion, and she analyzed the situation of Yu Zhi Nian's residence.

Seeing this, Qin Yuhai asked, "Can I make one just like this?"

"These things also need to be done according to the changes in direction. You can't just copy them directly. Feng shui is still very particular."

Xiao Jiu Jiu led Qin Yu Hai through the corridor.

You can see some exotic flowers and plants planted outside the corridor, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

After taking a detour, they finally arrived at the main gate.

"Ding dong."

As soon as the doorbell rang, Yu Zhinian opened the door.

He wasn't wearing his uniform today; he was in his pajamas, and his hair was all messy—he looked like he had just woken up.

"You guys came pretty quickly. Good morning, Xiao Jiu."

Yu Zhinian yawned and turned to get them two pairs of slippers.

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled and said, "Good morning, Brother Yu."

"Meow~"

Coal Ball stood in the entrance hall and glanced at Yu Zhinian.

Yu Zhinian raised an eyebrow: "A lump of coal?"

He took out a handkerchief and threw it on the ground: "Wipe your feet and come in."

The coal ball, quite astutely, jumped onto the handkerchief and stomped on it.

"Come in and sit here. I'll go change my clothes."

He led them to the living room, brought them a glass of water, and then went upstairs.

Xiao Jiu Jiu sat on the sofa, curiously looking around Yu Zhi Nian's home.

The furniture was all antique, and there was a large glass cabinet not far away, filled with rare and precious items on display.

A large ink painting hangs on the side wall of the living room, and a faint sandalwood scent permeates the air, which smells very pleasant.

The whole room looked exquisite, yet it also had a somewhat desolate feel.

All the furniture was stiff and formal, lacking any sense of everyday life.

Qin Yuhai sat down, looked around the room, and said nothing.

Xiao Jiu Jiu's gaze fell on the coffee table.

There was only a tea table on the coffee table with a few cans of tea, and no snacks at all.

"This year, this year of depression!"

Just as the two of them were sitting on the sofa like decorations, a man's voice came from outside.

The man swaggered in, tossed a bag of things onto the coffee table, and then plopped down on the sofa.

"Yu Zhinian, you... wow!"

The man jumped up from the sofa.

"Hi?" Xiao Jiujiu waved to the person with a smile on her face.

"Who are you?" Only then did the man realize that there were two other people in the room.

Xiao Jiu Jiu chuckled and said, "My name is Xiao Jiu, and I'm Brother Yu's colleague. Who are you?"

"What, colleague, you?" The man looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu with suspicion, clearly not believing her.

She opened her small bag, took out her ID, and put on a formulaic smile: "I'm Yu-gege's colleague."

"It really is." The man looked at the identification with disbelief. "They're hiring child laborers? If I report them..."

Xiao Jiu Jiu took the documents back: "You bad guy, I'm not talking to you anymore."

"Haha, I was just kidding, how is that being a bad guy?" The man chuckled and glanced at Qin Yuhai.

Qin Yuhai nodded at him, his expression indifferent.

The man thought for a moment and then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I won't tell you, and you won't even say who you are!" Xiao Jiujiu snorted and glanced at the man.

"This is my friend."

Just then, Yu Zhinian came downstairs with a cold expression: "Why are you here?"

The man next to him rolled his eyes: "Can't you even introduce yourself?"

He smiled at Xiao Jiujiu and the other girl: "My name is Gu Yue, I'm his childhood friend, I know him a lot..."

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just a little hungry."

Seeing Yu Zhinian's unfriendly expression, Gu Yue sat down and opened the bag: "I brought a ton of snacks, okay? I only came to see you because I knew you lived here by yourself."

"What's so interesting? Life is just like that," Yu Zhinian said casually, opening a bottle of soda and placing it on the coffee table.

Gu Yue snorted and opened a bag of potato chips to eat: "Don't be ungrateful. You're living a much better life than me."

As soon as I got home, all I heard was the pressure to get married. It's so annoying!

He ran away from home.

Yu Zhinian smiled helplessly: "I've been very busy lately, always working overtime. I was just taking a break today, but I still came to work."

As he spoke, Yu Zhinian glanced at Qin Yuhai and Xiao Jiujiu.

Xiao Jiu Jiu scratched her head and chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, it just happened, such a coincidence~"

Yu Zhinian smiled at her and looked at Gu Yue beside her: "But you, you're always coming over to freeload."

"What nonsense! I brought the stuff with me!"

Gu Yue snorted coldly: "No matter how busy you are with work, you still need to take care of your health. I brought snacks and ingredients."

"Ah."

Yu Zhinian was much more relaxed at home.

Seeing that they had all finished arguing, Xiao Jiujiu said, "Brother Yu, you know what happened yesterday. What are your thoughts?"

"I'm not clear on that yet. Do you have complete information about the situation on your end?" Yu Zhinian asked curiously.

Qin Yuhai took out a stack of documents: "This is the information I compiled yesterday. Let me tell you about it again."

"You guys decide, I'll go eat out first."

Seeing that they were about to get down to business, Gu Yue didn't want to listen and turned to leave.

Coal Ball, squatting next to Little Nine-Nine, saw the documents scattered on the table and jumped up: "Let me see too!"

"coal briquettes,"

Upon seeing the coal briquettes, Yu Zhinian stepped aside, saying, "You can look too."

Qin Yuhai leaned over and said, "I'll go with you..."

They started talking, and Xiao Jiujiu's eyes looked around and landed on a painting.

She paused for a moment, then got up and walked over.

The painting depicts a plum blossom.

The plum tree stands proudly in the snow, its branches strong and vigorous.

The delicate, vibrant petals were weighed down by the snow.

"This painting, emmm?" Xiao Jiujiu muttered to herself.

Just then, the aroma of tomato chips wafted through the air.

Gu Yue, munching away, approached Xiao Jiu Jiu and asked, "Little friend, what's wrong with this painting?"

"It's nothing, the painting is very beautiful," Xiao Jiujiu praised.

Gu Yue chuckled: "Of course it's beautiful. This painting was done by Grandpa Yu Zhinian, so it's a family heirloom."

"I see. No wonder."

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded.

She found it strange that the painting seemed to emanate a faint golden light; it turned out to be from someone who had come into contact with great fortune.

I've heard that Grandpa Yu is a very remarkable person.

Gu Yue asked curiously, "You seem to know about painting too."

"I don't understand,"

Xiao Jiu Jiu shook her head, "I just feel that this painting gives people a very comfortable feeling."

"That's true, you're still young."

Gu Yue nodded, looked at the potato chips in her hand, and then at Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Do you want some?"

"I don't want it, thank you, Uncle," Xiao Jiu Jiu said with a smile, politely declining.

"Oh~"

Gu Yue withdrew his hand, then suddenly stopped: "What did you call me? Uncle?"

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Little Jiu Jiu looked at Gu Yue with her big, puzzled eyes.

Gu Yue was immediately displeased: "Why do you call Yu Zhinian 'brother' and me 'uncle'? I don't accept that!"

"Then should I call you brother?" Xiao Jiu Jiu asked cautiously.

I was afraid of hurting his self-esteem.

"That's right!"

Gu Yue gave a soft hum.

Qin Yuhai was talking to Yu Zhinian about the case: "The previous Fu Kexin's child died, and her soul was extracted. This Su Su is the same."

“This matter is indeed very strange, but I can’t find much information here; it’s been blocked.” Yu Zhinian’s face was very grim.

Someone is deliberately covering this up.

"Moreover, there have been more cases recently."

Yu Zhinian turned on his computer and pulled up a document: "According to reports from various localities, several such incidents have occurred in the capital city alone this year."

This doesn't even include the numerous pregnant women in the case of the "ghost baby."

All of them were children who died suddenly, their souls were gone.

The pregnant women all died.

Qin Yuhai frowned: "So, could we combine all these cases into one case?"

If we take them all together, it would be a very serious case.

Su Su's case was a typical criminal case.

It involves some metaphysical time.

“We can’t merge without evidence yet. What’s the situation on your end?” Yu Zhinian asked.

Qin Yuhai pulled out all the previous information: "Let me take another look now, I'm sure I can find commonalities."

As they spoke, Qin Yuhai and Yu Zhinian began to review the case files again...
