Guan Xiujie's every move was a ticking time bomb for the original owner, and he was just as annoying in Yu Ling's eyes. This guy looks like a good boy, so why is he so annoying!

"Hmph, looks like I can't escape the officers' questions after all. So, what do you want to ask me this time?"

Yu Ling shrugged and sat back down, sending a remote message to the system to not return yet. She had lost her appetite and got straight to the point.

Since his friend had already done the most annoying things, Chen Yang wouldn't waste Guan Xiujie's good intentions. Only then did he sit down and play the good cop to Yu Ling:

"Don't be so formal, let's just chat casually. Let me introduce you, this is Guan Xiujie, a highly capable young detective, who is also my assistant in the investigation."

Yu Ling's expression was still not very pleasant; anyone would probably look like that after being harassed for two days in a row. He said coldly, "Oh."

On the contrary, Guan Xiujie waved to Yu Ling with a friendly expression when he was introduced.

Yuling: "......"

Chen Yang continued:

“If we had a second suspect, we wouldn’t keep bothering you. This case is just too complicated. I think you would understand the difficulties the police face?”

"I will cooperate with your investigation, but isn't contacting me once a day a bit too frequent...?"

“It’s not a big deal if it happens a little more often, is it?” Guan Xiujie interjected, moving closer to Yu Ling again, almost touching her. “You’re unemployed, so it won’t interfere with your work much.”

Yu Ling was once again forced to press herself against the window.

I can't stand it anymore! Even if I don't have the same severe mysophobia as the original owner, can't you, as a detective, at least stay away from this suspect who is definitely not clean?

If beating someone half to death wasn't also illegal, and if he didn't want to leave a good impression on Chen Yang, he would have thrown this guy far away long ago!

Yu Ling almost gritted her teeth as she answered, "You're right! Little detective! But could you please keep a certain distance from me? Don't get so close!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry." You'll do it again next time!

Yu Ling was furious at the insincere apology. Detectives were so annoying. Even if he was trying to provoke her, it was still incredibly rude. Why couldn't he just lay it all out in the open?

Turning her head away and ignoring the scoundrel detective, Yu Ling chose to talk to the less neurotic Chen Yang, saying, "I already made myself very clear yesterday, and I don't know if there's anything else I can add. What would you like to talk about, Officer Chen?"

"That's how it is..."

The conversation finally got down to business. As planned before leaving, Chen Yang described the suspicious points of each case in a tone that showed no doubt about Yu Ling, and deliberately described the victims as being in extremely bad shape, using vivid and exaggerated descriptions as if they were free.

Yu Ling listened while eating, occasionally nodding in agreement, without any overreaction. She wasn't exactly attentive, but she wasn't perfunctory either. Meanwhile, taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't taken his eyes off Yu Ling since entering the room, Guan Xiujie openly began to scrutinize her expression.

They show a high degree of indifference to life and acceptance of descriptions of bloody scenes. They remain calm even when listed as suspects, are easily swayed by emotions, but have absolute control over their emotions. This suggests a possibility of impulsive killing.

When eating, they would start with what was closest to them, without stirring, being picky, or showing any preference for particular food; their main goal was simply to fill their stomachs. When talking about police officers, they would look at thugs with the same eyes, showing neither awe nor contempt because of their status.

Just as Chen Yang said, he doesn't seem like a murderer, but he doesn't seem like a law-abiding good person either. He doesn't have a strong tendency to attack, but if he really wants to do something extraordinary, he is very likely to calmly and effortlessly deal with everything that is unfavorable to him.

The rather long conversation lasted a long time, which affected Yu Ling's good appetite. She gave the food that was served later to the two guys who were interrogating her, and only ate a little bit herself.

.......a long time.......

Chen Yang had already recounted everything he could think of about the case, and he couldn't come up with any more topics. He subtly gave his ally a wink, only to find that Guan Xiujie was still staring at Yu Ling's profile, completely oblivious to his actions.

Honestly, anyone who didn't know better would think you two were best friends...

"Cough, cough!"

Nobody paid any attention.

"Slurp~" He took a big gulp of water.

Nobody paid any attention.

Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Yang kicked Guan Xiujie's leg directly from under the table!

......

"Aww~!"

Guan Xiujie was caught off guard and kicked squarely. He yelled and jumped up from his seat. Just as he stood up, he saw Yu Ling looking at him. On a whim, he slipped and fell into the arms of the person next to him, grabbing the tablecloth on the table and pulling it down!

To the left was the 100+ pounds I'd been carrying; to the right, a tightly closed glass window; in front, blankets, bowls, chopsticks, and food clattered and fell to the ground; behind me was a broad, thick chair back...

Yu Ling felt trapped, unable to escape anywhere. Faced with only two options, "pushing the detective down but getting hit by food" and "getting hit by food and then beating him up in a rage," she chose a compromise.

Taking the initiative, Yu Ling scooped Guan Xiujie into her arms and used him as a human shield to block the mess on the table. Seeing the bewildered look on the detective's uniform, Yu Ling was in a good mood and finally showed the young detective her first genuine smile.

"Little detective, how could you be so careless? Look, you've gotten your clothes dirty! Hurry up and go home to change into clean clothes!"

Seeing Yu Ling's happy expression, as if she had finally won a round, Guan Xiujie pretended to be embarrassed and rolled around in Yu Ling's arms. The dirt on his body rubbed onto Yu Ling's clean and tidy shirt.

"Yes, I was so careless. Oh dear, how did I get your clothes dirty, Mr. Wen? Why don't you come home with me and I'll make you a clean new set?"

It's hard!

The fist has hardened!

On the other side, Chen Yang was already overwhelmed by the bizarre plot that was progressing too fast, while the waiter who came over after hearing the noise was also wondering to himself, "Am I also part of your play?"

Of course, adhering to good professional ethics, the waiter didn't laugh out loud, but simply said dryly:

"Sir, the broken plates and cups will incur an additional charge at checkout. Would you three like to receive new tableware now?"
