Chapter 56 On the Bus

"What are you doing here?" Qiu Ling asked Lu Yanhe in surprise.

Lu Yanhe never expected that he would run into Qiu Ling here by such a coincidence.

"Officer Qiu?!"

After Lu Yanhe explained, Qiu Ling finally understood what had happened.

"What a coincidence, you've stumbled upon a murder case," Qiu Ling said.

"Someone really died?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.

Qiu Ling nodded. "Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head: "I've been reading since I came in and haven't left the study room. I didn't notice anything."

Qiu Ling: "Alright, you and your classmate wait a bit. You can leave after my colleague confirms the surveillance footage of the study room."

After what happened here, no one wanted to stay here to read anymore.

After Qiu Ling left, Chen Qin immediately asked, "Do you know that policeman?"

“Yes, we knew each other before.” Lu Yanhe nodded. “Let’s wait a bit. We haven’t left the study room since we came in. Once we confirm that, we can leave.”

Lin Yu had recovered and said softly, "I never expected to encounter something like this."

Indeed, who usually encounters someone dying?

“They actually dared to kill someone in broad daylight,” Chen Qin said. “But the murderer should have escaped long ago.”

"They must have run away a long time ago," Lu Yanhe said.

After a while, a young policeman came over and told them that they could leave.

Lu Yanhe asked, "Do you still want to study together?"

Lin Yu shook her head and said, "I want to go home."

It seems that what happened today has frightened Linyu a bit.

Indeed, it would be terrifying for a girl like Lin Yu, who is still in school, to suddenly have a murderer appear right next to her.

"Okay, see you at school later."

Chen Qin escorted Lin Yu back.

Lu Yanhe was also preparing to go back.

He went to the bus stop.

It's 9:30 in the morning, the sun is already high in the sky, and it's quite sunny.

Lu Yanhe stood in the shade waiting for the bus.

Just then, a man and a woman carrying a parasol walked past him and stood on the bus stop platform.

If one of the girls glanced at Lu Yanhe as she passed by, she would have noticed that Lu Yanhe, whom she watched live streams almost every day, was right in front of her, but she was too busy chatting with her younger brother from her hometown to notice him.

Helan asked, "Li Chang, is this your first time in Yuming?"

“Yes, this is my first time here. This city is really big.” Li Chang laughed. “Sister Lanlan, are you busy with your studies? If you are, you don’t need to worry about me. I can explore on my own.”

"It's Saturday today, what are you busy with? You finally came all this way, and I'm letting you wander around by yourself? Do you think I'm worthy of being your sister?" He Lan glared at Li Chang. "Stop talking nonsense. You're coming with me today, and I'll show you around. I've already found a restaurant for lunch."

“Okay.” Li Chang nodded.

He Lan had already noticed that Li Chang was a little insecure and no longer played with her without any inhibitions as he did when he was a child.

He didn't get into university and is now working in a city in the south. He came to Yuming to deliver goods and will have to go back tonight.

Jiang Linxian's harsh words still echoed in her ears. He Lan thought to herself that no matter what, she would never become a snobbish person like Jiang Linxian.

Helan didn't want Li Chang to drift apart from her like this.

Suddenly someone bumped into her.

Helan lost her balance, but fortunately Li Chang caught her.

"Be careful," Li Chang said to the person who bumped into He Lan with displeasure.

He was stunned for a moment when his eyes met that person's.

Because that person's face was a mixture of panic, anger, and hostility, it was clear that he was not in a good state and was not someone to be trifled with.

Helan didn't want to cause trouble, so she said, "Never mind."

Just then, bus number 17 arrived.

That person got on the car first.

He Lan and Li Chang entered later.

Lu Yanhe was the last to board the bus.

The No. 17 bus at this time is not crowded, and there are still many empty seats in the back.

He then walked to the back.

Helan finally saw him at this moment.

Her eyes lit up, and she called out, "Lu Yanhe."

Lu Yanhe looked over, only to find that he did not recognize the other person.

Helan's cheeks immediately turned red.

She only realized after she called out that no one recognized her.

Helan waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, you don't know me, but I've been watching your live stream."

Lu Yanhe was extremely surprised.

With only a dozen or so audience members, how did he manage to bump into one of them on the bus?

"Hello." Despite his surprise, Lu Yanhe greeted him politely. "What's your ID name?"

Helan's cheeks flushed even redder as she uttered the name that made her feel inexplicably ashamed at that moment, "Beautiful girl Lanlan."

Li Chang, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the name.

Helan immediately glared at him, "Don't laugh."

Lu Yanhe laughed and said, "So it was you. What a coincidence. I remember you. Thank you for your suggestion."

"You're welcome. What are you doing here—" He Lan looked at the backpack on Lu Yanhe's shoulder, "Where are you going?"

Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "Nowhere, just home."

After exchanging pleasantries, he said, "Then I'll find a place to sit down."

"Hmm." He Lan suppressed her racing heartbeat and watched Lu Yanhe walk to the back, where he sat in the last two rows.

The man who bumped into her at the bus stop was sitting right behind her!

Hate!

Helan immediately looked away.

"What a coincidence," Helan whispered to Li Chang.

Li Chang asked, "Who is he?"

“There’s an artist named Lu Yanhe, who debuted through a talent show,” He Lan said. “He’s really handsome in person.”

Li Chang asked in surprise, "Do celebrities take public buses?"

Helan: "Keep your voice down!"

...

Lu Yanhe heard Li Chang's exclamation.

He smiled and pretended not to hear.

Lu Yanhe was quite surprised to run into the "beautiful girl Lanlan".

So far, he only remembers a few names from his live streams, the most memorable of which is "Beautiful Girl Lanlan".

She often chatted with her in the live chat and even recommended books for her to read in her senior year of high school.

She is also a very cute girl in real life.

Lu Yanhe took out his earphones and was about to put them on when his gaze fell on the ear tip of the passenger in front of him, and he suddenly paused.

There seemed to be a drop of blood hanging on the tip of that passenger's ear.

It's almost dry.

Lu Yanhe frowned.

Could it be... such a coincidence?

His entire body hair stood on end.

Just then, Lu Yanhe's phone suddenly vibrated twice.

He picked up his phone and discovered that it was a message from Qiu Ling.

day.

Qiu Ling asked him: Are you on the No. 17 bus?

The moment Lu Yanhe saw this message, he was almost certain that he was having the worst day ever.

He encountered a murder case at the library, and then ran into the murderer on the bus, with the murderer even sitting in front of him!

It's never been a crime investigation; all the plot points are designed to make it "popular." Please don't jump to conclusions based on just one or two chapters.
