I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Chapter 88: Outsourcing the Case! Plum Rain!

"Lin Jingzhu? What does she want with me?"

Chen Mo was a bit puzzled and said, "Please, come in."

"Yes."

The Colonel withdrew.

Soon afterward, two figures walked into the Government office, precisely Lin Jingzhu and Shangguan Yunfei.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see."

"Lin Catcher, Brother Shangguan, what wind has blown you here?"

Chen Mo rose to exchange pleasantries.

Shangguan Yunfei cupped his hands together and said, "I heard you’ve cracked another major case, and I wanted to come over and learn from your experience."

Lin Jingzhu’s bright eyes sized up Chen Mo, her gaze full of curiosity.

The case in Linglan County had already spread.

The tunnels beneath the town were crisscrossed, almost hollowed out by the Demon Clan!

Every district had an entrance and exit, covered with Arrays, showing they had grand designs!

But Chen Mo, in just one night, without any clues, thwarted the Demon Clan’s conspiracy, saved more than seventy lives, and even killed a hundred-zhang-long transformed Demon Python!

Astonishing as a Heavenly Person!

"Mr. Chen, I am very curious, what exactly do you rely on when solving cases?" Lin Jingzhu asked, baffled.

The last Zhou Family case was also the same; this man seemed to be able to predict the future!

If they could master this skill, what case couldn’t they solve?

Chen Mo, with his hands behind his back, said indifferently, "Intuition."

"..."

Lin Jingzhu was momentarily speechless.

At that moment, Shangguan Yunfei said with a laugh, "Let’s not just stand around talking. It’s been a long time since we last got together, let’s go out for a drink after you’re off duty."

In vino veritas.

First get Chen Mo in a good mood, then slowly coax the secrets out of him.

Even if they only learned a little, it would be immensely useful!

Chen Mo sighed and said helplessly, "I’d love to drink till we drop with you both, but mundane duties bind me, and I really can’t get away."

Lin Jingzhu puzzled, "Are the affairs of the Sky Scale Guard that busy?"

"Here, see for yourself."

Chen Mo pointed to a stack of documents on the desk, saying, "These are cases thrown our way by the Six Gates, some have been backlogged for months, still unresolved, and the higher-ups want accountability. Do you think I have time to go out drinking?"

Lin Jingzhu and Shangguan Yunfei stepped forward to take a look.

Indeed, they were cases from the Six Gates...

Both felt a bit embarrassed; Chen Mo repeatedly solving major cases while also helping to alleviate the Six Gates’ pressure made them seem incompetent...

"These trivial matters, and still troubling Mr. Chen?"

Lin Jingzhu picked up the documents, pulled out half, and handed them to Shangguan Yunfei, "Leave it to us two, we’ll handle it perfectly!"

"This..."

Chen Mo furrowed his brows and feigned hesitation, "This doesn’t seem quite proper, does it? After all, these cases are under the name of the Ding Fire Department..."

Lin Jingzhu said generously, "Don’t worry, if the cases are solved, the credit still goes to the Ding Fire Department. But if we need to consult Mr. Chen, we hope that you won’t be stingy with your advice."

Her thought was simple, just like asking for guidance from a master!

Chen Mo nodded and said, "In that case, I’ll trouble you both. When there’s time, we’ll drink and chat merrily!"

(⊙ˍ⊙)?

Li Yuan was dumbfounded watching from the side.

She had been headache-stricken for several days, unable to find a solution.

In just a short while, Chen Mo had "outsourced" all the cases?

Li Yuan sent a message asking, "Sir, is this really okay?"

Chen Mo watched the two leave and whispered, "What’s there to worry about? She should thank us."

"Mr. Chen, thank you."

Lin Jingzhu turned around and waved with a smile.

Chen Mo spread his hands: "You see."

Li Yuan: "..."

...

The two walked out of the Imperial Music Bureau’s gate.

"Who made you seduce your teacher?"

"..."

Li Yuan’s cheeks flushed red, wishing she could pounce and bite him.

This man is really terrible!

"Brother Chen Mo."

Just then, a sweet voice as refreshing as mountain springs in the forest rang out.

Li Yuan paused her movement and looked up at the woman entering the hall.

Her apricot yellow dress was exquisitely tailored, accentuating a waist you could grasp and graceful curves. Her black hair was half-up with a sheep fat jade hairpin, with a few strands falling beside her fair neck, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.

Her brows were like distant ink, her eyes sparkled like stars, each glance shimmering with light; her noble nose and unadorned red lips, and her cheeks adorned with faint dimples.

Beautiful beyond words, like a person who walked out of a painting—

If one ignored the pig’s trotter in her hand.

That Lin Catcher just now was pretty, but she was composed, with only admiration and no love for Chen Mo.

However, the look this girl gave Chen Mo was obviously not so innocent.

At the same time, Shen Zhixia was sizing up Li Yuan.

Looking at those calm eyes, Li Yuan inexplicably felt nervous, like a "new concubine being scrutinized by the wife of the house."

"Brother Chen Mo, did you make the underwear for this lady?" Shen Zhixia asked.

"..."

Chen Mo touched his nose, "Not entirely..."

Zhixia glanced at him pensively.

So there was more than one?

She fell silent for a moment, then handed the pig’s trotter to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan paused, then grasped it.

The two held one end of the pig’s trotter each, creating a rather odd scene.

Zhixia’s lips slightly curved up, a smile rippling in her shallow dimples.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Shen Zhixia, I am Chen Mo’s fiancée."
