Chapter 731 Su Wuming 30
He took out the map he had drawn earlier, pointed to a few marked spots and said, "Search carefully along these places, especially by the river and in the woods. Be careful! Remember not to damage the bodies."
The yamen runners received the order and scattered like a pack of hungry wolves pouncing on their prey. Chu Hua looked at their receding backs and couldn't help but feel a little amused and a little emotional.
These yamen runners are used to being lazy on weekdays. If they are not incentivized by money, it would be difficult to get them to work hard.
Su Wuming walked up to Chu Hua, looked at her slightly smiling face, and asked softly, "Why are you so generous, young lady? This is not a small amount of money."
Chu Huan turned to look at Su Wuming and smiled slyly: "Mr. Su, solving the case is important, money is just a thing outside of one's body. Besides, it is my honor to share Mr. Su's worries."
Su Wuming looked at Chu Hua's lively eyes, and his heart trembled slightly. He always felt that Chu Hua's every smile, every move, was full of an indescribable charm that made him unconsciously want to get closer.
"Girl, you are serious."
Su Wuming coughed lightly to hide the throbbing in his heart: "The girl's kindness will be remembered in my heart."
Chu Hua didn't want him to be so distant. Su Wuming kept calling her "girl" and "I" and it gave her goose bumps.
Although the ancients were particular about etiquette, she, a 21st century soul, could not stand such courtesy. Besides, the system task asked her to "capture" Su Wuming. From the sound of this title, it would take a long time to succeed!
She rolled her eyes, and a plan came to her mind. She deliberately said in a coquettish tone: "Mr. Su, calling me like this makes us seem so distant. Just call me Chuhuan, or Huan'er is also fine."
As she spoke, she blinked playfully, and her long eyelashes swept across Su Wuming's cheek like a small brush, bringing a tingling sensation.
Su Wuming was somewhat at a loss for words by her sudden action. His cheeks flushed slightly, his eyes were erratic, and he did not dare to look directly at Chu Hua. He hesitated for a long time before uttering a few words: "This... This... is not reasonable..."
"What's the disagreement?" Chu Huan pressed on, taking a small step forward. The distance between them instantly shortened, and they could almost feel each other's breathing.
"We have been through hardships together and are partners. You can't keep calling me 'girl' or 'girl' all the time, right? It's so formal!"
Su Wuming's heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of his chest. He subconsciously took a half step back, but felt that this would make him look cowardly, so he stood still again, but he still didn't dare to look at Chu Hua, but stared at a crooked tree not far away, as if some rare treasure had grown on that tree.
"Then...then...I will...just call you Miss...Chu Hua." Su Wuming said stutteringly, his voice not much louder than the hum of a mosquito.
Seeing his silly and cute look, Chu Huan secretly laughed in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface and continued, "Mr. Su, don't always say 'I' or 'I'. It sounds so awkward. Call me Huan'er, and you can just call yourself 'I'."
Su Wuming felt his face getting hotter and hotter, as if it was on fire. He had lived for more than 30 years, but this was the first time he was "teased" by a woman like this. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. In the end, he could only stand there like a wooden stake, allowing Chu Huan to manipulate him.
"Su...I...I..." He stuttered and couldn't form a complete sentence for a long time.
Chu Hua was delighted when she saw Su Wuming's embarrassed look. It seemed that this Tang Dynasty's top detective was a complete "novice" in terms of feelings. She decided to add fuel to the fire and completely break Su Wuming's defenses.
"Su Wuming, you are the first person I met in this strange world. You can say that you are my support. You are so distant. Don't you believe me? Or am I a charlatan in your heart?"
Chu Hua's words hit Su Wuming's heart directly.
He never thought that he would become someone else's support in another world. He also never thought that Chu Hua would express her trust in him in such a straightforward way, even with a hint of grievance.
Su Wuming's heart seemed to be gently touched by an invisible hand, causing ripples.
He waved his hands in panic, the blush on his cheeks spreading to his ears, "Aunt... Chuhua, you... you misunderstood! I... I... didn't mean that at all! You are also... an important friend to me... No, it's... it's..." Su Wuming spoke incoherently, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Seeing his helpless look, Chu Huan became more certain that Su Wuming was an innocent old virgin, and she couldn't help but want to tease him.
Her eyes moved, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh? What is the important... thing? Mr. Su might as well tell me directly."
Su Wuming felt uncomfortable under her burning gaze, like a prey being targeted by a hunter, with nowhere to escape. He took a deep breath and said with courage: "Although we have known each other for a short time, I can see that you treat me with sincerity. You are... a... a confidant to me!"
After saying this, he let out a long sigh as if he had completed a difficult task.
Chu Hua burst out laughing, her clear laughter as sweet as a silver bell: "Confidant? Mr. Su, are you sure? How can I, a stranger who has just arrived, become your confidant?"
Su Wuming felt even more embarrassed by her laughter, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
He hesitantly explained: "Huan'er is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. I... I... had a very pleasant conversation with the girl and benefited a lot from it... so... so..."
"So you treat me as your confidant?" Chu Huan interrupted him with a smile, a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
"Su Wuming, your standards for a close friend are a little too low, aren't they?"
Su Wuming was choked by her and was speechless. He could only cough a few times awkwardly to try to hide his embarrassment.
"Okay, then it's a deal. From now on I will follow you. Wherever you go, I will go. Since you said we are close friends, then we are close friends. We are the best in the world!" Chu Hua winked playfully, with a hint of unquestionable arrogance in her tone.
Su Wuming was stunned. He originally just wanted to find a word to describe the unclear relationship between the two of them, but he didn't expect Chu Hua to catch him.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only nod helplessly.
