Chapter 38 38 She still remembers the full name of the system, the Informant System...

Although Guan Xia had only met Xu Nian a few times, in her impression, Xu Nian seemed to be not very interested in other things except the case, and his expression was always dull. At this moment, he suddenly showed such a lively expression. Guan Xia was surprised and felt a little embarrassed by being looked at, as if she was out of the scope of normal people, which made him so shocked.

After adjusting her sitting position, Guan Xia leaned back comfortably and handed over another sketch. "This is this guy. When Lu Tingfeng asked me about him, I remembered that he seemed to have been following the girl for about ten meters. During that time, he was bumped by a boy who was not looking where he was walking. He was very angry at the time and pushed the boy away and chased after him for a few steps. He must have lost the boy. His expression was very scary at the time, so it left a deep impression on me."

Guan Xia tried to make up for her amazing memory, but it was obviously useless seeing Xu Nian's still surprised expression.

Xu Nian took the second sketch, looked down at it, then looked up at her. After a moment, he uttered a few words, "Your memory... have you been to the hospital for a checkup?"

This question was a bit nonsensical, and Guan Xia was stunned for a moment before she realized what Xu Nian meant.

Quickly shaking her head, Guan Xia explained, "Although I haven't been to the hospital for a checkup, I know for myself that I definitely don't have hyperthymesia. For example, if you asked me what dishes I ordered for hot pot tonight, I wouldn't necessarily be able to tell you everything."

Xu Nian looked at Guan Xia thoughtfully, and after a moment he said, "In other words, your terrifying memory is only related to specific scenes or specific people."

Guan Xia nodded. This was indeed what she had guessed about the system passively recording some scenes.

Although Xu Nian's expression had returned to normal, his eyes were overly bright. He looked at Guan Xia and said, "Your talent... is truly enviable. Have you ever thought about becoming a police officer?"

Being a police officer? Guan Xia thought about it, not knowing how to answer.

Before she traveled through time, she had indeed thought about it. Who hadn't watched crime dramas as a child? But it was only during the time she was watching them. Later, when she watched other shows, she also thought about becoming a soldier, a pilot, or a lawyer. But after attending school and growing up, she had long since forgotten these thoughts. She just worked for the sake of work every day. The only thing she persisted in was learning to paint, which she had some talent for and could pass the time.

As for the terrible start after traveling through time, she had long forgotten what dreams were. She only focused on what she was better at than others and tried her best to change the status quo. It was the money she made from her previous comic that gave her some breathing space and allowed her to live the stable and comfortable life she has now. This is why she has activated the golden finger that every time traveler wants to have, but has been slow to make any changes.

She had spent twenty-two years on the journey and finally reached the goal she had set for herself. She could finally take a break and breathe a sigh of relief, but she really couldn't muster the energy to embark on another unknown journey.

But that halo of low presence was always hanging over his head, and Guan Xia knew that it was time for him to continue on his way.

After a while of random thoughts, Guan Xia finally answered Xu Nian's question, "I haven't thought about it. You may already know that I am an orphan. Dreams were too far away for me when I was a child. I just wanted to make my life better. But now I have achieved it. I even live across from you. I think you can see that I am doing well now."

Xu Nian smiled sincerely and said affirmatively, "You are indeed living a good life now. You have accomplished everything you wanted to do as a child."

Guan Xia also smiled, feeling that Xu Nian seemed to have suddenly become popular and not as cold anymore.

However, since they were not very familiar with each other, Guan Xia did not want to continue the discussion and changed the subject, "This girl..."

Guan Xia asked hesitantly, "I found some information about the case online, but it's very little. Can I know how she died?"

"Murdered," Xu Nian answered without thinking for a second, "Death by suffocation, but due to confidentiality regulations, I can't reveal too much about the specific circumstances of the case. Sorry."

Guan Xia was mentally prepared and couldn't be said to be disappointed. She was just thinking about how to cooperate with the police.

It is obviously not possible to directly join the public security team. She still remembers the full name of the system, the informant system.

As the name suggests, this person must stay outside the police force and provide the clues he finds to the police as a member of the public. However, she remembered that in criminal investigation dramas, there was such a thing as informant fees for informants, and it seemed that the informant maintained a relatively close contact with a single police officer, and kept it secret from other police officers. Does she have to do the same?

Guan Xia only thought for a second before giving up the idea. Her system was too passive and would not be triggered unless the police asked. She could not rely solely on Xu Nian.

Xu Nian is very talented and has become a squadron leader at a young age, but his jurisdiction is not big enough, only Pingjiang District. She herself moved to Pingjiang District after graduating from university. In just two or three years, even if she goes out more frequently than before, it is unlikely that she has faced many murderers. This cannot continuously recharge her low-presence halo. If nothing unexpected happens, this system will follow her until she dies. Then, before she understands all the rules of the halo, she has to keep helping the police solve cases. Obviously, Pingjiang District alone cannot do it.

More importantly, she couldn't stay in Yongquan City forever. She had to travel to relax. Could she contact the local police through Xu Nian and constantly expand her address book like she had done in Quchun City? That would be too troublesome and very insecure.

After thinking about it, a name gradually emerged in Guan Xia's mind, Lu Tingfeng. He did meet her standards in some aspects, but she couldn't just listen to Xu Nian's words to know what kind of person he was. She had to ask Pang Le to find someone to investigate and then contact him before making a decision.

After making a simple plan on how to recharge the halo in the future, Guan Xia came back to his senses, looked at Xu Nian, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I understand."

Glancing at the time, Guan Xia realized it was almost 12 o'clock, so she said, "So, let's stop here for today and go home to sleep?"

Xu Nian pursed his lips and suddenly spoke before Guan Xia could stand up. "I can't reveal any information about this case right now, but I can ask my superiors for help. I've thought about it. You've provided us with important clues many times to help us solve cases. In theory, we're comrades-in-arms. Your special talent means we'll continue to fight side by side in the future. It's only right that information about the case be shared with you. I'll ask my superiors tomorrow and get a response as soon as possible."

Guan Xia didn't expect Xu Nian to say that. She was stunned for a few seconds before she smiled.

The clues she had provided many times before were not in vain. Although she activated the system but never took the initiative, it was not a waste of time. At least she gained the initial trust of the police, which laid the foundation for her subsequent choices.
