Forty-five feathers

"How's the questioning going?"

A male voice was heard along with approaching footsteps. Ye Linghan, Liao Xihe and the surrounding police all looked in the direction of the sound.

"Oh my god, who is this? He's so handsome!"

"I don't know. He looks unfamiliar."

"Tsk, you guys look like you haven't seen the world before."

Several policemen around looked at the person walking over and talked quietly.

Yin Chen has never appeared on social media platforms, so no one knows who he is except those around him.

"Alright, the elusive Young Master Yin is now starting to return to secular life?" Liao Xihe leaned closer to Ye Linghan, lowered his voice, and spoke through gritted teeth.

Ye Linghan shrugged, gnashing his teeth inwardly, "Who knows?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Yin Chen, holding an exquisite bag in his hand, walked towards Ye Linghan with his long legs, and there was another commotion around him.

"Is this for Xiaoye? As expected, handsome guys hang out with handsome guys."

"I originally thought Xiaoye was handsome enough, but I didn't expect this guy's face to be even more impressive!"

"Wait, wait! There's something...not right about these two!"

Although those people tried their best to control their excitement, the last exclamation was a little loud and was still heard by Ye Linghan, who secretly condemned them in his heart.

Doesn't this person realize how shocking his face is? He didn't even bother wearing a mask when he went out, and then he just walked in like that? And he even walked into a police station.

Ye Linghan thought to himself that he should stock up on more masks at home when he had time, as he couldn't let him go out so ostentatiously outside of work hours.

He turned his head and nodded, smiling back at them, but gave no explanation.

After all, there are so many people here, it’s not easy for him to publicize it.

"Brother Liao, who is this person?" The male police officer on the side was a little dissatisfied when he heard the female police officers praising an outsider so much, and wanted to find out the truth.

When Liao Xihe heard someone calling him from behind, he turned around, made a "hush" gesture, and took a few steps back. He walked to the people and whispered, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. I can't do anything if something goes wrong."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he added, "My dad isn't any good either."

They didn't know Yin Chen, but they all knew Liao Xihe. Who didn't know the director's son? When they heard him say that, although they were more curious about the identity of the visitor, they were frightened by what Liao Xihe said, so they could only suppress their strong curiosity and dared not ask any more questions.

Yin Chen walked forward and placed the bag in his hand on the small table in front of Ye Linghan. He stood in front of Ye Linghan with his arms outstretched. Because of the height difference, a shadow was cast on the person in front of him.

He asked in a low voice: "Don't you want to hug me?"

Ye Linghan looked around, stretched out his hand and scratched Yin Chen's palm, with a smile on his face, "Someone is watching."

But what he didn't know was that his action in front of outsiders was even more ambiguous than a hug.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Yin Chen did not pull his hand back. He seemed to enjoy the other party's action. Like a kitten, he stretched out his paws and played in front of him.

His fingers half-closed and half-held Ye Linghan's, and then he shook his other hand.

"I brought afternoon tea for your colleagues. It's in Sun Mao's hands, but yours is with me. It's different from the others."

Yin Chen signaled Sun Mao to distribute the desserts to the others, while he himself served Ye Linghan specifically.

"Try it and see if it tastes good." Yin Chen scooped a piece with a spoon and fed it to Ye Linghan.

He took a bite from Yin Chen's hand.

Each dessert is not big, but small and exquisite, but the ingredients are very exquisite. All of them use top-notch recipes. The cream is dense and melts in the mouth, sweet but not greasy. The jam inside is also made from fresh fruits on the spot, which is very delicious.

"Is it tasty?"

Ye Linghan nodded, "Yeah, it tastes very similar to what I ate at home when I was a kid."

Yin Chen couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this, "Luckily I have plenty of money to support you, otherwise I would have to put in more effort to take care of you with such a picky mouth."

"Luckily, your taste hasn't changed, and fortunately, my skills haven't deteriorated."

Ye Linghan was shocked after hearing this, and was incredulous. "Did you make these... yourself?"

"Yeah." Yin Chen responded, and then added: "But theirs is not, those are made by the dessert chefs."

Sun Mao, who was standing by, heard Ye Linghan's question and joked, "Yeah, our boss has been doing this for a long time."

After Sun Mao finished speaking, he continued to distribute the desserts in his hands to others.

He actually did all this with his own hands... Ye Linghan stared at the person in front of him in a daze, his thoughts gradually returning to his senses.

When he was younger, the housekeeper would often send him some desserts when he was at home, always saying that they were defective products left over from the pastry chefs and they were giving them to him to eat for fear of wasting them.

But as he was young at the time, he just thought that even if the food was not cooked well in their eyes, it was still delicious.

Later, I often lived alone outside and rarely had access to it.

Now thinking about it, Yin Chen's family was rich and powerful, so how could he be afraid of wasting money? He just didn't say it.

"What are you thinking about? Are you touched?" Yin Chen raised his hand and waved it in front of Ye Linghan.

Ye Linghan came back to his senses and said honestly, "Yes, I was indeed moved."

As he spoke, he looked around and saw that everyone was immersed in playing with Liao Xihe and Sun Mao and no one noticed this side, so he quickly leaned forward and quickly touched Yin Chen's lips, and the sweet and soft cream melted between the other's lips and teeth.

"This is hard work pay." Ye Linghan whispered to Yin Chen when he turned around.

Yin Chen curled his lips into a smile, suppressing the unspeakable thoughts in his heart and just curled his lips into a smile.

Ye Linghan took a few more bites and then put it aside.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Yin Chen asked with concern: "Is this one not tasty?"

Ye Linghan shook his head, the corners of his mouth curled up, "No, it's delicious, but I can't eat it right now."

"Because of Jiang Wanru?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

Because apart from Jiang Wanru, no other important person involved in the case has appeared yet, so he really can't figure out who the other party is trying to protect.

Most of the original characters are dead, which means new characters will appear.

"Xiao Liao."

Liao Xihe, who was enjoying dessert and chatting with others, heard Ye Linghan calling him and quickly turned around. "What's wrong?"

"Besides working in the Research Department and interacting with her colleagues, does your mother have any other social activities?"

Liao Xihe thought about it carefully. He himself was a restless person, always running around whenever he had free time, so he had never paid much attention to his mother's social life. After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue, so he shook his head and said, "You suddenly made me think about it. I really can't remember who she has been in contact with for a while."

It seems that the only way to troubleshoot is through technical means.

"Oh my god! I feel like if I continue the trial, I'll be ten years older."

As soon as the two finished talking, Su Mo stretched and walked out of the interrogation room with his joints creaking, followed by Yao Qingluan who also looked tired.

As soon as he came out, he saw that everyone outside was holding desserts in their hands, including but not limited to the uneaten small cake on the table in front of Ye Linghan.

"No, I said you all eat so well behind my back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yin Chen sitting next to Ye Linghan, half-encircling him and locking him in his arms.

"Yin...you're here." The voice suddenly turned 180 degrees, which was a perfect connection.

He was about to call him Mr. Yin, but when he saw a room full of people, he was afraid of exposing Yin Chen's identity, so he quickly changed his words.

Yin Chen nodded slightly, which was considered a response.

"Brother Mo." Liao Xihe greeted and handed Su Mo a piece of dessert, "I saved this especially for you. Don't say I didn't think of you."

Su Mo took it with satisfaction.

"Brother, that..." Liao Xihe lowered his head and looked at Jiang Wanru through the glass window.

Su Mo understood instantly and nodded in agreement: "Go ahead."

"Thank you, brother." Liao Xihe stood up and walked into the interrogation room.

There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the police station, and their conversation inside can be heard outside. Besides, Yin Chen is there, so nothing will go wrong.

Following the sound of the door opening and closing, Jiang Wanru raised her head, "You're here."

A smile appeared on her face, completely different from the one she showed to other people. It was genuine and full of kindness, mixed with a hint of guilt.

"Mom, are you tired?" Liao Xihe's voice trembled. He didn't understand why his mother had to hide something.

He could accept everything Jiang Wanru and Ye Linghan said last time. He could even accept that his mother, who raised him since childhood, was a vampire. But the only thing he could not accept was losing his mother.

Jiang Wanru smiled as she looked at the person in front of her, the "third son" she had raised. "Mom is not tired, but you should take care of yourself."

Liao Xihe fought back tears, "Mom, I mean, before, if you had been honest with me and Dad, we could still be a family. Why did you have to carry it all on your own?"

In his opinion, although his mother is a vampire, they will always be a family.

Jiang Wanru sighed, "Ah..." Her fingertips clenched into fists, "I'm sorry, son. She gave me my life, so I must repay her. Can you understand me?"

Liao Xihe lowered his eyes. As a son, he didn't want to understand.

But even if he didn't understand, what could he do? He had no choice.

Who is that she?

Ye Linghan heard the conversation between the two through the headset. He didn't even know whether the "she" Jiang Wanru was talking about was a man or a woman.

"Why do you have so many? Why do I only have one?"

Su Mo's voice behind him interrupted Ye Linghan's thoughts. He turned around and saw a very funny scene. To describe it in one sentence, it was a provocative him, an irritable him, and an innocent her.

The first "he" refers to a male police officer, the second "he" refers to Su Mo, and the third "she" refers to Yao Qingluan.

Su Mo was initially listening attentively to the conversation between the two people in the interrogation room, so he ate the cake rather hastily. Suddenly, he noticed that Yao Qingluan next to him had several pieces in her hands. He wanted to help her share and take some for her, but was intercepted by another male police officer.

What he said was just a joke, but those who didn't know the relationship between the two didn't think so.

"What are you doing?" The male police officer patted Su Mo's arm.

Su Mo looked over, puzzled, but did not withdraw his hand. "I'm helping A Luan get it, what's wrong?"

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this action.

"I left this for her."

When Su Mo heard that all these were given by him, he felt even more jealous.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Ye Linghan quickly pulled the two apart and patiently persuaded them. He first comforted Su Mo, "Look, he doesn't understand. It's not worth it."

"That's too much!" Su Mo muttered angrily.

"Yes, yes, that's too much!" Ye Linghan hurriedly coaxed him patiently.

The male police officer beside him was initially confused, but upon hearing Ye Linghan agree, he became both confused and angry. He pointed at himself and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

Seeing this, Ye Linghan suppressed his laughter and solemnly separated Su Mo from the man. He then walked up to the man, leaned over and said softly, "Look, this is where you're wrong, isn't it? They're clearly a couple, but you're making it sound like they've committed some unforgivable sin."

After hearing this, the man suddenly realized what was going on, but his tone didn't improve. He just didn't say anything to Ye Linghan, but to Su Mo. "How could such a beautiful and capable girl fall for someone with such a bad temper?"

Su Mo stretched his neck out for two miles after hearing this, and asked Yao Qingluan in confusion: "Me? Am I irritable?"

Yao Qingluan looked at the two people bickering in confusion, obviously not understanding the ins and outs of the matter, but when Su Mo asked, she could only shake her head mechanically.
