Chapter 342 Infernal Affairs Episode 4

"Are you sure what that person meant was, 'no big meal'?" Ni Yin frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Qi with a puzzled expression, as if he had doubts about what she said.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi nodded vigorously and answered firmly, "Yes, I remember it clearly. The man said, 'Even without the feast, you're not bad!' I thought it was quite strange at the time. I didn't understand what he meant, so I didn't think much about it. Is there something wrong with this statement?"

After hearing Xiaoqi's words, Ni Yin did not answer directly, but shook his head thoughtfully, thinking secretly in his heart.

She had some guesses about Xiaoqi's description, but since she had no solid evidence, she decided not to tell Xiaoqi her thoughts for the time being.

After a moment's silence, Ni Yin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiao Qi, have you told the police about this?"

Xiao Qi frowned and complained, "No! I was so scared at the time that I didn't even think about telling the police. Besides, the police officer's attitude was terrible, so fierce that I didn't bother to say anything to him!"

Ni Yin sighed helplessly. She knew Xiaoqi's temper. Once she had a bad impression of someone, it would be difficult to change it.

Just then, a loud sound suddenly came from the TV, attracting Ni Yin's attention.

She turned around and saw a news report on TV: "The night demon is out and about, and there are no more pretty girls on the streets!"

By three or four in the afternoon, the sun had begun to set, and sunlight filtered through the windows into the store, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.

Ni Yin looked at the time and felt it was almost time, so he said to Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, you can go home now."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi stopped what she was doing and obediently began to pack her things.

She moved quickly and efficiently, finishing everything in a short while. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly caught sight of Ni Yin sitting behind the cash register, seemingly with no intention of leaving.

"Boss, what about you? Aren't you going back?" Xiaoqi asked with some confusion.

Ni Yin smiled slightly and replied, "Someone will pick me up soon. You can go back first. Be careful on the road!"

When Xiaoqi heard Ni Yin say this, her worries immediately dissipated.

She nodded reassuringly, waved to Ni Yin, then turned and walked out of the flower shop.

Ni Yin watched Xiao Qi's departing back until she disappeared around the corner, then he slowly stood up and walked to the door of the store.

She stood at the door, quietly observing the street outside.

At this time, it was still early and there were not many pedestrians on the road, but there were quite a few young girls coming and going.

They were either alone or in groups of two or three, with brisk steps and faces full of youthful vitality.

Ni Yin's gaze lingered on these girls for a while, then retracted.

She found that there was not much business in the store, so she decided to go upstairs to get a magazine to kill time.

Ni Yin walked quickly up the stairs and came to the small room on the second floor.

The room was small but cozy, with a small bed, a wardrobe, and a desk with a few magazines and some stationery on it.

Ni Yin rummaged through the desk, found a magazine he liked, and then returned to the store downstairs.

She sat down on the chair next to the cashier counter, opened the magazine and began to read it with relish.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

Ni Yin raised his head, looked out the window, and found that the street lights were on.

She stood up and walked to the door, turning on the light. Suddenly, the store was bathed in warm yellow light.

Under this warm light, the flowers in the room appear even more beautiful and tempting, as if emitting an enchanting fragrance.

As Ni Yin looked at these beautiful flowers, his mood became cheerful.

Just then, Ni Xin's cell phone rang.

It’s Ni Yongxiao!

"elder brother!"

"Why aren't you home yet?" Ni Yongxiao's worried voice came from the other end of the phone. "Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No, I'm having a party with friends," Ni Yin quickly declined. "Maybe we'll be playing late, so I won't be going back to the mansion. I'll just sleep in my little apartment."

"Not these days, I'm worried!" Ni Yongxiao frowned, "Wherever the party is, I'll have someone pick you up!"

"No need, brother. I'll tell my friends to leave early!" Ni Yin looked at the night outside and felt that it was still a bit early.

"Well, be safe, okay?"

"Okay, got it!" Ni Yin put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope her guess can be confirmed as soon as possible, so that she doesn’t have to rack her brains to find excuses for coming home late later.

By the time Ni Yin slowly finished packing up and closed the shop, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

This is the time when the nightlife begins!

Ni Yin did not choose to walk in dark and remote places because that would be a bit obvious.

Since the serial killer has not been caught by the police for such a long time, he must have some skills and brains.

If she did it too obviously, people would see that she was trying to lure the snake out of its hole, and she didn't have the time to bother with a rat that lived in the gutter!

After returning safely to the Ni family, Ni Yin couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Such is the nature of a mouse, so cowardly and sneaky!

For three consecutive days, Ni Yin tried her best to come home late, but still no one showed up. She was so angry that she almost cursed.

It’s not that she lacks patience, but her brother Ni Yongxiao’s eyes are filled with suspicion when he looks at her.

I can't lure people out anymore...

If she told the truth to her brother, he would definitely not let her take risks.

But Ni Yin's character is that if someone has bad intentions towards her, she will definitely find out who it is and she cannot tolerate it at all.

Just when Ni Yin was about to give up, that night, she came out of the flower shop as usual.

When she walked to a relatively quiet street, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.

Ni Yin was delighted in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and continued walking slowly.

Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed out from the alley next to him and pounced towards Ni Yin.

Ni Yin was well prepared. She dodged the sudden attack with a nimble movement.

Seeing that his attack missed, the black shadow couldn't help but feel a little angry and embarrassed. He snorted coldly and without saying a word, he pounced on Ni Yin again like a hungry tiger.

Faced with this fierce attack, Ni Yin remained calm. She moved lightly left and right, cleverly avoiding the opponent's attacks again and again.

While dodging, Ni Yin's eyes were fixed on the opponent's every move, carefully observing his moves and flaws.

After several rounds of fighting, Ni Yin had already made up her mind. She found that although the murderer was cunning, his actual skills were not very good.

So, Ni Yin decided not to passively defend anymore. She seized an opportunity and suddenly kicked the murderer hard on the knee.

With a loud "thump", the murderer was caught off guard and lost his balance, falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Ni Yin was delighted and quickly stepped forward, wanting to take the opportunity to control the murderer.

However, just as she was about to approach the murderer, the man suddenly took out a spray from his arms as if by magic, and without saying a word, sprayed it at Ni Yin.

Ni Yin secretly thought that something was wrong. She was already wary of the murderer and knew that he might use some shady tricks.
