Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 636 The Hunt for Crimes Illustrated Guide 2 8

"By the way, is drinking allowed for your job?" Fang Qingyan asked casually.

Shen Yi picked up his wine glass: "It's not working time now, so it's okay to have a little to drink."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyan nodded. She realized that this tavern allowed people to spontaneously perform on stage.

After the person in front of her finished singing, she finished the wine in her glass in a few gulps and went up to the stage.

Shen Yi was somewhat surprised by her actions, but also somewhat expectant, and stared intently at her figure.

When Fang Qingyan got on stage, she picked up a guitar and sat in front of the microphone. Before starting, she even gave Shen Yi a smirk.

Shen Yi smiled in response, and while waiting, he slowly sipped his wine.

As the person on stage strummed the guitar strings, a beautiful melody began to play, and a soft, unique female voice started to sing a lovely song.

I hadn't heard the song before, but the beautiful singing attracted a lot of people's attention.

Fang Qingyan was so engrossed in singing that she paid no attention to anyone else, only occasionally glancing up in Shen Yi's direction.

Shen Yi's gaze never left the stage; he only had eyes for that one person.

It was as if the song was sung only for him, and he himself was the best audience for the person on stage.

"Was it good?" Fang Qingyan finished singing a song, returned to her seat, and ordered another drink.

She had been singing for a while and her throat was a little dry, so she wanted to drink something to quench her thirst. But Shen Yi kept staring at her, which made her feel even thirstier.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi smiled gently, his gaze still fixed on her: "It sounds beautiful, I really like it."

I don't know if I like the song, the person, or both.

Fang Qingyan curled her lips into a smile, drank the wine in her hand like water to quench her thirst, and then pulled him out of the tavern.

Shen Yi was being pulled along when he noticed she was walking a bit fast, so he tried to keep up: "Qingyan, where are we going?"

"It's a bit hot, let's go wade in the water." Fang Qingyan pulled someone to the side of the road and flagged down a car.

"Master, let's go to the beach."

"Okay, please fasten your seatbelts."

Shen Yi fastened his seatbelt, turned his head to look at her, and chuckled softly.

"What are you laughing at?" Fang Qingyan asked, puzzled.

"This is what it feels like to just pack up and go. I've experienced it firsthand with you."

"One of us stays at home every day, and the other is busy with work. We probably don't have much time to go out and have fun normally. So tonight, we can go wherever we want."

"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense." Shen Yi nodded, his eyes full of smiles.

When they arrived at the beach, Fang Qingyan took off her shoes and walked directly into the sea. She waded in the shallow water and felt the cool, refreshing water.

She lifted her long skirt slightly, and the gentle evening breeze felt cool but not too cool on her body. The seawater beneath her feet was just the right temperature.

Seeing that the person on the shore was still and only staring at her, she waved and urged, "Shen Yi, come down quickly, aren't you hot?"

Seeing this, Shen Yi also took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked over.

Two people, both quite old, were holding hands and playing in the water at the beach.

Fang Qingyan does whatever comes to mind, regardless of anything else, and Shen Yi is also unusually relaxed, not thinking about anything.

When they finished playing and came ashore with their shoes, both of their skirts and trouser legs were a little wet.

On their way back, they passed a shipping container.

The two of them hadn't noticed at first, but Fang Qingyan suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood.

She stopped and looked in the direction the smell was coming from, discovering it was coming from inside the shipping container.

Her sense of smell is beyond that of ordinary people; she can detect even the slightest scent from a distance.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yi asked when he saw her stop and not move.

Fang Qingyan didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she used her mental power to scan the container. The interior was set up like an operating room, and she remembered the plot.

This is the location of a case later in the story, related to illegal drug manufacturing and the sale of human tissue.

"Xiao Qi, has the plot progressed that far already?"

Xiao Qi: "Host, that's about right. When we arrived, the plot was already in its mid-to-late stages. You suddenly came to the beach today. It's as if the host discovered the plot's tricks ahead of time."

Fang Qingyan covered her nose and frowned: "Shen Yi, I smell a faint smell of blood. What do you think is in this container?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi also looked over, his expression somewhat puzzled: "How could there be a smell of blood in a place like this? Are you sure?"

There are many shipping containers on this beach, most of which are used as warehouses or other purposes.

"Hmm, but there shouldn't be anyone inside right now." Fang Qingyan meant that they couldn't go in.

I doubt Shen Yi would agree to let her knock on the door and come in because of that.

Shen Yi: "I'll go to the police station tomorrow and have them investigate what this place is for. Let's go back first; your skirt is wet, don't catch a cold."

He has no idea what's going on inside.

The smell of blood doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem; it could just be animal blood.

We can't rush in now because of this; we can only wait and see.

Fang Qingyan knew this too, and she nodded without objection: "Okay, let's go back."

Once Shen Yi investigates, she'll discover something's wrong here. If she can't, she'll ask Xiao Qi for help and give it a push.

The next day, Shen Yi went to the police station, originally just to have someone investigate what the warehouse was used for.

Unexpectedly, the investigation revealed something was wrong after searching the container.

Contraband was found inside, which also led to allegations of illegal drug manufacturing and human tissue trafficking.

The Beijiang Criminal Police Team got busy again, and Shen Yi was no exception.

Fang Qingyan knew he had something to do and expressed her understanding, telling him to focus on his work.

Although Shen Yi was busy, he still made sure to send her messages. The two kept in touch every day and cared for each other.

People who have just started dating, especially those dating for the first time, will often unconsciously show some unusual behaviors that will give others a clue.

Today, Shen Yi discovered during his investigation of a case that it involved a person connected to his friend Fang Kaiyi's company, Ryan Technology.

He came to find Fang Kaiyi, and after they finished talking about their business, they took a break and chatted.

Shen Yi was replying to Fang Qingyan's message on his phone, and the smile on his face was hard to miss.

Upon seeing this, Fang Kaiyi said, "Shen Yi, you seem a little different today."

"Really?" Shen Yi's lips still held an unconscious smile.

"Is there some good news? I saw you looking at your phone and smiling happily."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi smiled somewhat embarrassedly and shook his head, saying, "There's no good news, we were just talking about something happy."

Fang Kaiyi raised his hand to adjust his glasses. He was such a smart man that he could tell that the person talking to Shen Yi had special significance for him.

Recalling Shen Yi's appearance just now, he had a guess: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"You can tell?" Shen Yi was a little surprised. Was it that obvious to him?
