I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 286 Christmas Eve Visitors

Su Fan took it and opened it.

Among them is information about the investors of Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital and the medical group it represents.

In addition, there is also a list of some American officials who have been recently promoted or dismissed.

Resumes and the like are relatively detailed, and in addition, a lot of gossip is also included.

It’s a thick stack, and it’s not easy to collect it all.

After a quick glance, Su Fan subconsciously reached out for the teacup or teapot, but found nothing.

When I turned around, I saw Alice walking towards me with a cup of brewed tea.

"The tea is ready."

Dyson looked at Alice who placed the teacup, then looked at Su Fan.

How come he remembered that it wasn't this female clerk when he visited before...

"Are you going to the police station today?"

Su Fan glanced at the other person's iconic windbreaker.

"I have to go. There have been more and more weird things happening recently."

Dyson sighed.

"But the worst part is that it's not just offline sightings, more things are starting to spread online."

"It's clear that there wasn't much news a while ago, and not many people paid attention to it, but recently reporters have been focusing on reporting and digging into it."

Dealing with superiors, investigating an elusive killer, making up a death report, and outwitting a bunch of idiots.

Dyson felt that there was nothing to look forward to these days.

“Maybe this is some kind of signal.”

Su Fan took a sip of tea and said softly.

"The situation has spread to the point where it can no longer be covered up, so we have started to make it known and observe the reaction of society."

or……

"No matter what, life must go on."

Dyson took a polite sip of his tea.

The new clerk was indeed a newbie, and the tea he brewed was quite different from Su Fan's.

But the high-quality tea makes up for it a little, so it is not so unpalatable.

Before he could savor it a few more times, his cell phone rang.

"Sheriff, special circumstances."

"explain."

"..."

"What did you say? Stuffed under the Christmas tree and taken away, bleeding and fainting?!"

Dyson's eyes were as big as copper bells.

The two people present had excellent hearing and could hear the conversation between Dyson and the other party clearly.

Su Fan glanced sideways and saw the confusion and shock in Alice's eyes.

But even more bizarre things are yet to come.

"What happened to fainting?"

"Her husband said she was assaulted?! Damn it, let that idiot sue the Christmas tree!"

"What? He dares to attack the police?"

Dyson couldn't help but roar, but suddenly realized that he was in Su Fan's antique shop, and forced himself to calm down.

"Just wait, I'll be there soon."

Dyson stood up and walked towards the door, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he stopped and turned back.

"Forgot to mention, Merry Christmas."

After leaving these words, he rushed to deal with the case.

Hearing Dyson's words, Su Fan glanced at the calendar on the counter.

It turns out that without us noticing, it is already the time when the stars of humanity shine. No wonder all kinds of monsters and demons have begun to exert their strength.

After Dyson left, Alice on the side finally couldn't help but speak.

“Is this kind of thing common in the United States?”

“It’s quite common.”

Su Fan took a sip of tea calmly.

"Doesn't your Edward have a girlfriend? Her mother's place is the talent center of the United States."

"where?"

"Florida."

So many legends were born in that place with abundant sunshine.

When Su Fan was a college student in his previous life, he was already well-known.

As for why Floridians are so capable, it all started with an abstract open immigration policy in the last century...

"It's Christmas, any news from the Cullens?"

“Religious holidays have no special meaning for us.”

That means no more.

"However, Bella, whom you just mentioned, did send quite a few messages."

"The Volturi are heading to Forks?"

"It's not them. Something bad has happened in the family recently..."

Alice sighed and gave Su Fan a general description.

Without the harassment from Victoria and the others, Edward and Bella's relationship progressed by leaps and bounds, and they soon reached the stage of meeting each other's parents.

Then the problem came. During the meal, Bella accidentally cut her arm.

Although everyone had good control, the look and atmosphere change at that moment still scared her.

"I see."

"Know what?"

The plot of the second part was brought forward to the first part, which means...

Su Fan's cell phone suddenly rang.

After the call was connected, Jacob's excited voice came from the other end.

"Master Su Fan, Merry Christmas! I have good news for you. I..."

The call came to an abrupt end, and Su Fan put down the phone expressionlessly.

Jing Ke spent a long time looking at the map when he was assassinating the King of Qin. After this bastard came up and said hello, he immediately said he wanted to talk about his relationship problems.

As soon as the kid raised his wolf tail, Su Fan knew he was not holding his fart well.

When a couple has just had relationship problems, you rush to offer comfort.

But is it so easy to break up the relationship between the hero and heroine?
This boy Jacob is already going further and further on the road to becoming a son-in-law.

Fortunately, I didn't accept him as a formal disciple, otherwise I would have lost face by this wolf-licking.

Ignoring the affectionate second male lead in the female novel, Su Fan took out the file bag that Dyson had given him earlier and examined it carefully.

Many of the medical institutions involved in Collingwood Hospital are either bankrupt or dying, and cannot cause much trouble.

The only problem is the dean, other than that there is no sign of any other supernatural powers.

In other words, that dark space was only formed in the last two or three decades.

While Su Fan was flipping through the information, Alice, who was standing beside him, came over to take a look out of boredom.

"What are you looking at?"

"The recent changes in the promotion of officials in the United States, and the ownership of a lakeside villa."

What the data showed was very similar to Su Fan's previous prediction.

After that family died, someone soon came to take over the lake house.

The first one was the city councillor, and there is no need to elaborate on the result.

Subsequently, the two families encountered setbacks in their careers, which seemed to make some people notice that something was wrong with the mansion.

There was a long period of time in between when no one showed any interest in it.

It wasn't until the fourth owner that things returned to normal.

Before the fourth person took over, someone built a large-scale project on the lakeside manor and modified the interior furnishings.

This also allowed some officials who had been demoted to be promoted again.

Seeing this, Su Fan couldn't help but find it interesting.

There are so many hidden experts in America.

Not only did he come here from the other side of the ocean, but he also became a guest of honor of senior government officials.

As expected, in every era, there are always people who use numerology to seek wealth and glory.

Su Fan did not mean to look down on the other party. He was not a poor Taoist priest who did not seek rewards and performed exorcisms for a fee.

The difference between them is like that between mercenaries and private armies.

It's just that he has a little more bottom line than the other party.

But then again, Su Fan was still a little curious about what the serious people in the Xuanmen sect who had a master in this world looked like.

Retracting his thoughts, Su Fan once again focused his attention on the book in front of him.

Learning makes me happy.

As his attention focused, Su Fan gradually became immersed in it.

After an unknown amount of time, Alice's voice came from his ears and pulled Su Fan back to the real world.

"It's time to get off work. I'm leaving first."

Alice was carrying a tackle box and a fishing rod, looking ready for a big outing.

"Not going to join the celebration?"

Su Fan asked casually. "I've celebrated Christmas hundreds of times, but it's nothing compared to the perfect fishing spot."

“I’m sure I’ll catch a big fish this time!”

Alice was full of confidence.

"Merry Christmas, Sue."

"Merry Christmas."

After waving goodbye, Alice left the store.

Su Fan watched the other person leave without taking his eyes off him.

As the sun sets, the twinkling Christmas lights outside stand out.

There are still people coming and going in front of the antique shop.

But unlike usual times, most of the people passing by are in groups of three or five, and happy families of three are even more common.

In 03, globalization was progressing steadily, the shadow of 911/ had faded, the financial crisis was still far away, and it was Christmas, so it was a prosperous year.

"Another year..."

Su Fan let out a breath.

Unlike previous years, I'm afraid I'll have to spend this time alone.

Perhaps, I should also have a sense of Christmas ritual and try making a Christmas dinner.

Su Fan stood up and walked to the kitchen to check the ingredients in the refrigerator.

In addition to the commonly used Chinese food ingredients, there are also butter, jam, etc.

It should have been purchased when Ron was helping to run the store and stored there.

In addition, there is fat house happy water and various drinks, filling it up.

Did you buy so many?

Just as Su Fan was thinking about this, his cell phone rang again, and the caller ID showed it was Annie.

"I hope I didn't disturb your reading time?"

"No."

"Can I ask if you have found a date for our dinner?"

"..."

Forgot about this.

After defeating Malthus, Su Fan did agree to have dinner with him.

"Sorry, I've been busy lately."

There was a sigh from the other end of the line.

"In that case, I will have no choice but to come and visit you in person."

"Now? Is it appropriate to not be with your family on Christmas?"

"But I'm already here."

Su Fan stood up and walked towards the outer part of the store. Sure enough, he saw a tall and beautiful figure wearing a windbreaker, a hat, sunglasses and a mask, wrapped tightly.

She reached out her hand and tapped gently on the store window.

After hanging up the phone and going to open the door, the figure took off his mask and sunglasses, revealing a gorgeous face underneath.

"Merry Christmas."

Anne showed a bright and generous smile on her face and spoke in a cheerful tone, while raising up to show the box she was carrying.

"This is a gift I brought you. It's Chambedon red wine."

"Of course, there is also Chinese liquor."

A combination of Chinese and Western.

The sauce-flavored technology is well-known.

"I heard from others that you are a great cook, Su. I wonder if I can have the honor of tasting your cooking skills with this gift?"

Su Fan looked at Annie who was smiling happily opposite him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"of course can."

While the two were talking, another voice was heard at the door.

"Someone got there first? It seems I came at the wrong time."

The person pushed the door open, took off her heavy scarf and felt hat, shook out her blond hair, and the classic Hollywood beauty joked in a hoarse and sexy voice.

"Merry Christmas, both of you."

……

Not far from the door, next to a parked car.

Sheriff Dyson and Carl were both smoking.

"Aren't we going in now?"

Carl turned to look at Dyson, with some confusion in his eyes.

"If it's any later, they might have started."

"Not urgent……"

Dyson blew out a puff of smoke.

"There might be women coming in later."

"It's not a wise move to get close to the border of hell."

If he remembered correctly, there was another blue-eyed beauty who was no less beautiful than the two female stars.

Originally, I was just trying to deal with a case and wanted to come and celebrate Christmas with Su Fan, but I didn't expect to see such an exciting scene.

So worth it.

"That's a bit exaggerated."

"What do you know?"

Dyson glanced sideways at the young man beside him.

"The open and covert fighting between women is not something that ordinary people can endure. It's very... terrifying."

"If you want to see Su make fun of you, just say it directly. Why are you hiding it?"

"I call this waiting and watching, do you understand?"

"cut."

"You're talking as if you're not interested. Tell me honestly, do you want to see it?"

"think."

No man can resist watching a beautiful woman pulling her hair.

Just as the two were talking, two text message alerts sounded at the same time.

Dyson and Carl both took out their cell phones at the same time, and the sender and content of the message displayed on them were exactly the same.

Come in.

As for the signature, it was naturally Su Fan.

After receiving the news, the two men's faces froze, then they put out the cigarettes in their hands, opened the back door, picked up their things, and walked towards the antique shop.

The expected scene of women quarreling did not appear.

The two were adjusting the dining table and chairs from the back.

At the door, Su Fan folded his arms and looked at the two of them with interest.

"You two, why don't you go home to celebrate Christmas and come to the door to watch the show?"

Dyson and Carl both shook their heads.

"How could that be... I'm just a loner with nowhere to spend Christmas, so I came to join in the fun."

"My house was used by those bastards for a party. It was so noisy."

Su Fan looked at Carl.

"Isn't a Christmas party normal?"

Not normal at all.

Carl's smile was forced.

If Su knew what those people in his family did, I'm afraid his eyebrows would be twisted into a knot.
