Chapter 20 If the child doesn’t like you, don’t force it
A figure stood firm in the snow.
His blood and qi intertwined with his body, which was very conspicuous in the gray sky. He was carrying a sword, and his eyes were extremely sharp, but also a little playful.
From a distance, he saw Li Che carrying braised meat, jars of wine and osmanthus cake.
Li Che paused, and his first reaction was... his crime was exposed.
But after thinking carefully, there was no reason. He changed his body shape with the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit, and did not leave any clues.
If the crime was not exposed...
Then what did this head constable from the government office want after investigating the death of Sun Changbiao, but did not leave, but appeared in front of his yard?
For a moment, Li Che could not think of the reason and lost his thoughts.
"Are you Li Che, Master Li?"
His palm covered with calluses from practicing swordsmanship rested on the handle of the sword wrapped in cloth. Zhao Chuanxiong looked at Li Che who was approaching and asked with a smile.
Li Che's hands were full of things, so he could only symbolically clasp his fists: "It's me, what can I do for you, sir?"
Zhao Chuanxiong looked at Li Che, secretly sized him up, and then shook his head imperceptibly.
From Li Che's overflowing mental state and breath, his cultivation level was probably just a breakthrough in the great success of skin polishing, that's all, it's impossible that he was the bone-hardening murderer who killed Sun Changbiao with ruthless and decisive means.
According to Liu's description, the murderer was nearly two meters tall, with a burly body, dense muscles, and extremely terrifying.
It was very different from Li Che's figure.
However, Zhao Chuanxiong naturally didn't come to Li Che for this.
"Liu confessed." Zhao Chuanxiong looked at Li Che, still maintaining a half-smile.
Li Che's heart trembled, and he instantly understood what Zhao Chuanxiong was talking about.
"Did you receive a wooden sculpture of an angry-looking spirit infant the day before yesterday? That was placed at your door by the deceased Sun Changbiao..."
"As a follower of the Spirit Infant Cult, he has set his sights on your spirit infant."
Zhao Chuanxiong raised his lips and stared at Li Che.
Li Che gritted his teeth when he heard this: "I know that, because my daughter Xixi was targeted by the Spirit Infant Cult as soon as she was born, so I worked hard and became a woodcarver in the woodcarving shop and moved into the Xuji compound..."
"I thought I could rest easy and my daughter could grow up safely, but I never thought that after Xixi's first birthday party, the Spirit Infant Cult came to the shop again..."
When Li Che spoke of the deep feelings, his face flushed and he was full of resentment.
"Master Chen speculated that the woodcarving was placed by the shop owner, so he asked Master Chen to find it, and finally confirmed that it was done by Sun Changbiao."
At this point, Li Che's face showed horror: "Captain Zhao, I didn't kill Sun Changbiao, I..."
Zhao Chuanxiong kept staring at Li Che, and when he saw that he was talking incoherently, he raised his hand and waved.
"Okay, I know, you can't kill Sun Changbiao, you don't have the strength..."
"After all, it's related to you, I'm just asking routine questions."
Zhao Chuanxiong turned around at the right time and looked into the yard.
"Master Li, don't you want me to come in and sit down?"
Zhao Chuanxiong smiled and said, "I heard that you have superb woodcarving skills. Maybe I will have to ask Master Li to carve in the future."
Li Che hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He didn't want the other party to enter the yard, but the other party spoke so directly, so he could only invite him into the yard.
Opened the gate.
Zhang Ya stood prettily under the eaves covered with thick snow, while Xixi was walking in the yard after sweeping the snow on a wooden walker.
Seeing an official enter the yard, Zhang Ya's face turned pale.
"Husband..."
She hurriedly called out, thinking that Li Che had done something wrong.
After Li Che put down the things in his hand, he waved to Zhang Ya: "This is Zhao, the head of the government office, who came to investigate some things. It's nothing serious."
Zhang Ya nodded when she heard it, and her tense heart relaxed.
Zhao Chuanxiong appeared beside Xixi at some point, smiling and saying: "This is Master Li's daughter. She is really lively and cute, and she is as delicate as a jade sculpture."
Li Che's heart tightened when he heard it, and his alarm bells rang.
"Yes, all children are like this."
"Old Zhao, I like children very much. I wonder if I can hug you?" Zhao Chuanxiong said gently.
"My daughter is shy, and I'm sorry, head of the Zhao team." Li Che refused without thinking.
However, Captain Zhao squatted down as if he had not heard anything and looked at Xixi: "Xixi, let uncle hold her, okay?"
Xixi stared at Captain Zhao with her crystal clear eyes, and the next moment, she stepped on the walker and started to slide.
However, Zhao Chuanxiong laughed and stretched out his hand.
Li Che's eyes condensed, and the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit in his heart began to beat slightly.
But he quickly suppressed it.
Because Zhao Chuanxiong's outstretched hand was grasped by another hand, and he could not hold Xixi.
"Captain Zhao, the girl doesn't want you to hold her, what are you doing?"
Old Chen was not tall, and he had a wine gourd with patina on his waist. His outstretched hand just pressed down Zhao Chuanxiong's outstretched hand.
The wind and snow in the sky seemed to stop suddenly at this moment, stagnating in the air, and then silently torn apart by the terrifying strong wind, exploding into misty snow powder.
The two opposing forces collided with a bang, like huge waves colliding with each other.
Zhao Chuanxiong turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Dabao who was blocking his action. The smile on his face disappeared little by little.
"So it's Master Chen..."
"If the child doesn't like you, don't force it. Don't leave any shadow on the child."
Old Chen said lightly.
"Grandpa Chen...hug." Xixi on the side saw Master Chen, stepped on the walker, bumped into his leg, and shouted in a milky voice.
"Oh, sweetheart, grandpa, come here." Lao Chen looked at Xixi, his face instantly bloomed with a smile like a chrysanthemum, and he picked Xixi up from the walker.
Zhao Chuanxiong stopped squatting and stood up, placing his palm on the handle of the knife again.
"What a cute kid."
Zhao Chuanxiong looked at Xixi being carried away by Lao Chen and said with a smile.
Li Che also felt slightly relieved.
"Master Li, Master Chen, I'll leave first."
Zhao Chuanxiong did not stay in the yard for long. He waved his hand and left the yard. His figure disappeared into the hazy wind and snow.
Lao Chen hugged Xixi and played with her up and down, making Xixi giggle.
While looking at Zhao Chuanxiong's retreating back, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ache, don't let people enter the house easily in the future, especially strangers..."
Old Chen said solemnly.
"Xi Xi resisted Zhao Chuanxiong because she was not afraid of life. Xixi is spiritual and has the ability to distinguish between good and evil towards her. This Zhao Chuanxiong... has bad intentions." Lao Chen said.
When Li Che heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"He told you that the Liu family had recruited someone, and that it was Sun Changbiao who placed the Lingying wood carving in front of your yard?"
Old Chen looked at Li Che.
Li Che nodded.
Old Chen smiled, his voice a little cold: "From beginning to end, Ms. Liu only admitted that the couple worshiped the Lingying Cult, but never admitted that she placed the Lingying wood carving at the door of your house..."
"Moreover, the spirit infant statue found in Sun Changbiao's home is an ordinary spirit infant statue with three heads and six arms, with eyes closed and opened..."
"How did Zhao Chuanxiong know that the one who was put in front of your door was the 'Angry Eyed Spirit Infant'?"
