Chapter 128 Jin Xueli: Moving Residents

"Here, coffee."

Jin Xueli reached out to take the can of coffee, looked at it, then looked at Han Liuyue, and sat down next to her.

"You're so well prepared."

Han Liuyue opened the pull ring and said modestly, "No, no, these are all necessary things for working late at night. I also have sugar-free ones, just let me know if you want them."

"This is delicious." Jin Xueli took a sip of coffee and said, "What else did you bring?"

"If you're hungry, I also brought donuts—a police breakfast combo."

Han Liuyue laughed at herself when she said this. "Oh, speaking of breakfast, after staying up late, I always want to eat something delicious and greasy... Let's go to IHOP together after they open in the morning?"

...Well, after experiencing so many strange things, people will inevitably become accustomed to them.

For example, Jin Xueli was currently sitting side by side with a newly-acquainted hunter from the Kai family in the tomb of Vesile, gazing at a human head sticking out of the coffin lid while leisurely drinking coffee...

No matter how you think about this matter, you should feel that there is something wrong.

"There's a corpse just ten steps away," Jin Xueli thought for a moment, feeling she had grasped the oddity. "How could you still think about breakfast?"

"Excuse me, I have a question." The head of Vesile suddenly stared at them and said, "Have you two forgotten me?"

They both looked at it together.

"I believe I have provided you with important information."

Vulture could barely suppress a hint of pride on his face—perhaps a relic of Vesile's. "Your response is to sit down and drink coffee? Does having me in the coffin make you bored and sleepy?"

The two looked at each other.

"I didn't realize you, a vulture, had such a strong sense of self," Jin Xueli commented. "Won't copying others affect your performance?"

"Maybe Weisilai has a strong sense of self-awareness," Han Liuyue tried to remain fair.

"That's right. I haven't forgotten you," Jin Xueli turned to Vulture and said soothingly, "We also need to think about what to do next. We need to cheer up and deal with you."

Come to think of it, she's really lucky.

Although she didn't understand who stuffed the vulture into Vesile's coffin and why, having the vulture meant having Vesile's memories - now, she didn't have to jump off the building carrying the corpse.

However, it takes some thought to subdue the vulture and get it to Chai Si.

Now that it's stuck in the coffin and can't get out, it's the best time to make plans - and it wouldn't be too much to have a cup of coffee while we're at it.

"It's not known for its strength, but if it starts to flutter, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Do you have a rope?" Jin Xueli asked.

"Of course," Han Liuyue said.

After all, the original plan was to carry the corpse into the nest, so a rope was naturally indispensable.

"We have to knock it out first before we can tie it up, right?"

"He was hit on the head with an axe, but he was fine. How could he be knocked unconscious?" Han Liuyue sighed. "Besides, for safety reasons, we can't get too close to it."

"I don't know how the person who stuffed it in there managed to do it—"

"I said!"

The head of Vesile seemed to have finally lost his patience and raised his voice, shouting, "What on earth are you trying to do?"

Both of them were stunned.

"My request is very clear. I just want to get out of this coffin. It seems to me that you also need something from me. In that case, why don't we cooperate temporarily?"

Perhaps it is because it "inherited" Vesile's way of thinking and speaks in such a rigid manner.

"How do you plan to cooperate?" Han Liuyue asked.

"Let me out. I'll cooperate with anything you need me to do." The head said seriously, "Likewise, I hope you won't tie me up. Once this is over, let me go free."

"Where are you going?" Jin Xueli asked.

"I finally came to this world, so I must make good use of the opportunity and live as a human being."

"The residents are still speaking in such a flowery way," Han Liuyue muttered, glancing at Jin Xueli. "What do you think? You really can't trust it, right? Its goal is to leave, so as soon as we let it out of the coffin, it'll definitely find a way to escape."

"Hmph, what do you know?" Vesile's head scoffed and shook its head. "Every word I say is worth a thousand gold. How can I maintain my reputation if I break my promise?"

"You're really into your acting," Jin Xueli warned. "You're not the real Wei Xilai. Who would believe your story?"

The head was stunned and actually a little angry: "I am his personality now! Do you think it's easy for me to go against his personality?"

Letting it out is definitely not an option, but taking it away is a bit tricky.

Besides, even if Chai Si was an expert in interrogation, he probably had never interrogated a resident before, right? How could he squeeze any information out of it?
After thinking for a while, Jin Xueli didn't hear Han Liuyue talking, so she turned around and found that she was typing.

"I'm reporting the situation to Brother Chase. I've told him everything that's happened so far."

After being asked several times, Han Liuyue raised her head as if a little embarrassed and smiled at Jin Xueli.

...What a good employee.

"He seems to have missed the message and hasn't replied yet." Han Liuyue put down her phone and praised him with a sigh. "Brother Chai is not only exceptionally analytical, but he also has a knack for always being able to pinpoint the key points amidst a sea of ​​distractions..."

The key point of things...?
In this case, what the vulture wants most is to get out of the coffin... and they need to transport the vulture safely to Chai Si.

Jin Xueli suddenly had an idea and slapped Han Liuyue on the shoulder, almost spilling the coffee in her hand. "I know!"

"What do you know?" Han Liuyue asked after choking and coughing for a while.

"Could you have Chase send a pickup truck?"

"Yes, yes... why?"

“Didn’t this guy figure it out?”

Jin Xueli pointed at the vulture and said, "Then, no matter what, we can't open the coffin and let it out. Besides, we don't even have to worry about how to take it away—isn't there a bulldozer right next to it?"

Han Liuyue looked around, her eyes lit up, and she understood what she meant: "Yes!"

Jin Xueli couldn't contain her pride and laughed, "Since the vulture is already trapped in the coffin, wouldn't it be redundant to release it and then tie it up with ropes? Why not just take the vulture and the coffin away together?"

"You've also learned to use the law of that razor."

Han Liuyue jumped up from the ground and drank the coffee in one gulp - her habit as a hunter was deeply rooted. Even when she was not in the nest, she would stuff the empty coffee can into her bag, leaving no debris behind.

No matter how much the vulture protested, the two men pretended not to hear it and used all their strength to drag the coffin out of the coffin bit by bit.

The bucket was not wide enough to hold the coffin horizontally, so it had to be placed upright in the bucket, which blocked most of the cab window. As a result, Jin Xueli had to walk in front of the bulldozer to give instructions to Han Liuyue, who could not see the road ahead.

"That won't do,"

The vulture was so anxious that sweat broke out on its forehead, but it couldn't think of any convincing reason to get the two to let it out. It could only beg and protest over and over again: "People have human rights, vultures have vulture rights... Ah, put the coffin in a better place, the corpse is lying on my shoulders!"

"Residents don't care about this," said Jin Xueli.

"But I am now thinking like Vesile!" said the vulture angrily.

No one cared about the vultures' welfare.

Just as the two were about to leave the tomb with a coffin, Han Liuyue's cell phone rang; she immediately took out her phone and looked down.

"Is it Chai Si?" Jin Xueli asked.

Han Liuyue had just sent the solution and the request for a car. This message was probably Chai Si's confirmation - she had just thought of this, but saw Han Liuyue suddenly turn off the engine and jump back to the floor.

"what happened?"

Han Liuyue did not answer, but walked straight to another empty coffin, shone the flashlight into it, and looked at it carefully.

No one knew what she was looking for. After a full minute or two, she suddenly let out an "Ah" and reached out to pick up something.

"Really?... How did Brother Chai know that there might be something in this coffin that shouldn't be here?"

Jin Xueli became curious and moved closer.

In the flashlight, she saw a long, thin red hair hanging from Han Liuyue's hand.

　I don't know why this chapter is so chaotic, but I have a meeting to attend next. It's really a stressful day.

　　Oh, I wish I could write full-time.
