Chapter 31 You Can't Solve This
While Zhang Changsheng was pondering whether Meng Mei came from the Soul Realm and was related to the Soul Palace, over at the amusement park, Ouyang Xue took Niu Niu's hand and came to a cold drink shop.

"Niuniu, what flavor of ice cream do you want? Aunt Xue will treat you." Ouyang Xue said with a smile.

"Strawberry flavored, I want the biggest one." Niu Niu's eyes lit up. When she was at home, her mother always forbad her to eat ice cream, saying that eating too much ice cream would cause tooth decay. But it tastes good.

"Okay, I'll give Niuniu the biggest strawberry ice cream."

Ouyang Xue turned to the boss and asked for a large strawberry-flavored ice cream.

"Auntie Xue, can you buy one for Dad too?"

Ouyang Xue took the ice cream from the boss and said, "Niuniu, eat first."

She pulled Niuniu to sit at the table next to her and pushed the ice cream in front of Niuniu, "Eat it, or it will melt."

Niuniu didn't move. "Auntie Xue, you haven't promised me to buy one for my dad yet."

"Okay, I'll buy one for your father later." Ouyang Xue was a little amused.

Niu Niu then laughed, picked up the spoon, and started eating the ice cream in big mouthfuls. While eating, she said thank you, saying that Aunt Xue was the best and loved Niu Niu the most.

Ouyang Xue was a little speechless. After Niuniu had eaten a few big mouthfuls, she asked calmly, "Niuniu, tell Aunt Xue what kind of person you think your father is."

"Good dad, you are very capable." Niu Niu said without thinking.

Ouyang Xue is a criminal investigator, and what she excels at is observation. When Niu Niu talked about her father, her eyes were full of admiration, without a trace of falsehood.

This is strange. Niu Niu has only known Zhang Changsheng for a few days. Could this be because of their blood?

It can be said that Niu Niu was absolutely unfamiliar with the word "daddy" before, but now she talks about "daddy" all the time and even cares about her father.

Ouyang Xue was jealous of Wang Yanrou, thinking that it was all in vain that she raised her daughter to this age.

"Then tell me, what are his good points and what can he do?"

Niuniu thought for a moment and said, "I can cook, tell Niuniu stories, and tell fortunes."

Ouyang Xue almost rolled her eyes. The first few things were the basic requirements for a nanny, but what about fortune-telling? Feudal superstition!

"Niuniu, fortune-telling is unscientific. You can't learn it, understand!"

Niuniu laughed and said, "Auntie Xue, why don't you calculate for Dad? Maybe you can tell me when I will find a boyfriend."

Ouyang Xue gave Niuniu a slap on the forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, little brat."

Niu Niu giggled again and started eating the ice cream with big mouthfuls.

"Would your mother be relieved to leave you here alone? Tell Aunt Xue whether your father is a liar or not."

Niuniu said, "Auntie Xue, my dad is not a liar. You are not good for my dad. You are a police officer, and it is not good to say bad things about people behind their backs."

Ouyang Xue saw Niu Niu's adult tone and how she always defended her father. Now she believed that this girl really regarded Zhang Changsheng as her father.

"Okay, I won't talk about your father anymore. Then tell Aunt Xue what you and your father are doing here?"

Niuniu said: "It's a secret, I can't tell you."

Ouyang Xue: “.”

Her eyes fell on the mahogany box that Niuniu was carrying. "What's in it? Did your father ask you to carry it?"

"Peach wood sword."

Niu Niu was eating ice cream without even raising her head, but when Ouyang Xue reached out to take it, she dodged to the right and easily avoided it.

"Dad said that as long as the box is there, the person is there. No one except me can touch this peach wood box." Niu Niu looked at Ouyang Xue seriously.

Ouyang Xue looked at Niuniu in surprise, and suddenly felt that Niuniu was different from before. She was wearing a Taoist robe, with her hair tied up, and carrying an antique peach wood box. She was already very delicate, but she actually looked like a fairy.

COS little Taoist priest?
"Why?" Ouyang Xue asked curiously.

"secret."

For a moment, Ouyang Xue suddenly developed a strong interest in Zhang Changsheng.

She tried to get any information out of Niu Niu for a long time, but in the end she couldn't get any clear answer from her. She only said that her mother asked her to live with her father for a month and go back after that.

In a nutshell, Niu Niu is living well with Zhang Changsheng in the Taoist temple now, so there is no need to worry.

If it wasn't difficult to talk in front of Niu Niu, she would have called Wang Yanrou to find out the truth. After all, she is Niu Niu's Aunt Xue and godmother!
Such a big thing, but you didn’t even tell me.

Niu Niu has only been with her father for a few days, and she has become like this. I wonder what she will become if it lasts longer.

How could Wang Yanrou be so generous!
Half an hour later, a colleague called and said that Zhang Changsheng had come out and was there anything he needed to do?

Ouyang Xue said she would go back now and asked him to wait.

After a while, Ouyang Xue came back holding Niu Niu's hand. When Niu Niu saw Zhang Changsheng, she broke away from Ouyang Xue's hand, trotted over, handed the ice cream to her father, and asked her father to eat it, saying that the ice cream would not taste good if it melted, and should be eaten while it was cold.

This made Ouyang Xue feel sad, thinking that she loved this little girl in vain.

Zhang Changsheng was not polite and finished his meal in no time in front of other people. Then he asked Niu Niu and Lao Wang to wait for a while as he had something to say to Ouyang Xue.

Niuniu leaned close to Zhang Changsheng's ear and whispered, "Dad, Aunt Xue is very kind to Niuniu. If Aunt Xue says something unpleasant to Dad, can you please not argue with Aunt Xue for Niuniu's sake?"

Zhang Changsheng nodded.

"Thank you dad."

Niu Niu jumped to the side in three steps, and did not forget to turn around and give Ouyang Xue a bright smile.

Zhang Changsheng and Ouyang Xue stood on one side, facing the gate of the farm house.

"Did you see anything? Or did you figure out anything?" Ouyang Xue didn't think that Zhang Changsheng could see anything. She had carefully observed the scene several times but couldn't find any clues.

In addition, someone from above will come tomorrow to take over the investigation of the case, and Ouyang Xue will no longer be responsible for it. I came here today to see if I have missed anything.

Since she joined the Criminal Investigation Brigade, she has been able to solve every case. However, three consecutive homicides this month have left her helpless and she has hit a wall.

Zhang Changsheng said: "You can't solve it."

Ouyang Xue frowned, "What do you mean? Are you questioning my ability?"

Zhang Changsheng said: "For Niuniu's sake, I'll help you once and keep it with you."

As he spoke, he took out a peach wood sword the size of his ring finger and handed it to Ouyang Xue.

Ouyang Xue took the peach wood sword and looked at it. Isn’t this an accessory that children wear and is said to be able to ward off evil spirits?
"What do you mean?"

Zhang Changsheng didn't explain, turned around and left, "Niuniu, let's go back."

"Auntie Xue, goodbye. Come visit Niuniu in the mountains when you have time."

Niu Niu smiled and waved to Ouyang Xue, then took small steps and quickly caught up with Zhang Changsheng and Lao Wang.

Zhang Changsheng walked all the way to the Taoist temple. Along the way, Lao Wang wanted to ask several questions, but seeing that Zhang Changsheng kept silent, he patiently walked to the Taoist temple.

After Zhang Changsheng sent Niuniu away to pour tea, Lao Wang finally couldn't help but speak, "Master Zhang, is there any progress on this matter?"

Zhang Changsheng asked, "Mr. Wang, are you sure you want to avenge the dead?"
