No one else knew the strange psychological journey of the robber A, while Yu Ling, this scumbag who 'touched and then didn't take responsibility,' had already left a group of hostages and robbers behind, leaving the rest to Chen Yang, and Guan Xiujie, who was comforting him, to leave first.
Guan Xiujie greatly admired Yu Ling's skills; her courage in facing armed robbers was unlike that of ordinary bandits.
As Yu Ling's emotions gradually calmed down (he was actually fine), Guan Xiujie's inquisitive nature returned, and he asked with a hint of teasing:
"You're something else. I didn't expect someone with such delicate skin like you to be so ruthless. Have you had any training?"
Yu Ling was still upset about having her head stolen, so she walked past the chattering detective without answering.
They exited the mall one after the other and were immediately greeted with cheers from the crowd and warm greetings from the police.
The elderly woman, reunited with her son, cried her heart out, clinging tightly to her equally aged son and refusing to let go.
Even though Guan Xiujie had been harsh with him before, he was still grateful. When he saw Guan Xiujie come out, he knelt down to thank them for saving his son.
Guan Xiujie stopped her.
This old lady wasn't too bad, just a bit foolish. Plus, she was so desperate to save her son that she didn't need to be forced to kneel like that.
Amidst a chorus of thanks, cheers, and heart-wrenching cries of reunion...
The police chief, having heard about Yu Ling and Guan Xiujie from the officer in charge of temporary command, knew that the two men in front of him were the heroes of this incident. He then set aside his airs and stepped forward, saying:
"Thank you both for your help to the police. You've worked hard!"
"It is our duty and obligation as detectives to step forward and help the police when they are in danger."
Guan Xiujie was quite attentive to this high-ranking police chief, handing him a business card and promoting his Xiujie Law Firm.
Yu Ling, who was being neglected, didn't care. She checked the side quest progress and saw that it had indeed increased by one level. She stood aside and acted as an assistant without saying a word.
It was the same police officer who had initially been chatting with them who noticed that Yu Ling was covered in blood and looked unwell. He pulled her aside and took her to a nearby clothing store to change into new clothes.
Adding to the time Guan Xiujie deliberately rubbed against him, he ended up getting two shirts dirty in just one day. His luck was really something else... Yu Ling gave herself a thumbs up for her smart decision not to wear a coat when she went out.
The crisis was about to be perfectly resolved. The police officers outside went in and, together with Chen Yang, carried the robbers out. The police ambulances, originally intended for treating the injured, became the exclusive tools used by the robbers.
Apart from robber A, everyone else was injured to varying degrees, especially the one Yu Ling beat up. Apart from the robber leader who was killed, he was the most seriously injured and was put on a stretcher as soon as he was carried out.
However, just as he lay down on the stretcher, a gunshot rang out in the distance, and the robber instantly died.
"What happened? Didn't I tell you to retreat? Who fired the shot!"
The sheriff, no longer bothering to chat with Guan Xiujie, pulled out his police walkie-talkie and fired a shot. However, the sniper on the other side said that he had already retreated and was heading this way, and that it wasn't him who fired the shot.
Who else could it be but him? How dare he fire a gun in front of the police?! The police chief quickly dispatched people to investigate, evacuate the crowd, and protect the robbers. He was extremely busy, and Chen Yang naturally had no time to care about Yu Ling's matter. He was conscripted into the army.
Guan Xiujie's expression showed no surprise. He wanted to share his reasoning, but Chen Yang was not around and the police were very busy. After searching around, he could only turn to Yu Ling, his 'assistant' who had just gone through thick and thin with him!
"Hey, Shi Yan, did you see that? That 'mastermind' made his move ahead of time. Do you know why?"
"Know."
In front of Guan Xiujie, Yu Ling didn't even bother to pretend and never played by the rules.
"He was so badly injured that he could only receive treatment nearby and couldn't get to the 'mastermind' in a short time, so even at the risk of being held accountable, we had to kill him."
"Huh? Looks like you have the potential to be a detective. Even Chen Yang couldn't figure it out, but you guessed it." Seeing that Yu Ling was about to go home, Guan Xiujie insisted on chatting with her. "Then why don't you tell the police chief and the others the truth?"
"Didn't you say anything? Why?"
Yu Ling threw the question back at him exactly as it was.
The police cars sped away, the bystanders from the neighborhood left, and the mall returned to quiet. The entire street fell silent because of the incident; apart from Yu Ling and Guan Xiujie, there was really no one else around.
Therefore, Guan Xiujie's silence at this moment was quite obvious.
a long time.
He sighed.
Sometimes, the truth only leads to worse results.
For example, the mastermind behind the scenes, whom they secretly knew, should have already taken over the robbers from the sheriff and might already be on their way back to the next city.
For example, even if the truth is revealed, that person has a legitimate reason and right to extricate themselves from the situation, while the person who reported him or Yu Ling will be targeted by a high-ranking official.
"Why make it sound so tragic? The world isn't black and white. Maybe they have their reasons for doing this. Alright, that's enough for now. Let's all go home and say goodbye."
Yu Ling stood by the roadside, ready to flag down a car.
But this annoying pest, who's like a leech, still shows no sign of leaving.
"Sigh, since you don't have a job anyway, what's the point of going home? Seeing how interested you are in being my assistant, why don't you come and experience my detective agency?"
Yu Ling: "I'm not going."
What a joke! My task is to help Chen Yang solve cases, not to help him solve cases. If I'm going to have any experience, it should be about experiencing cases at the police station. Why would I go with him? To get my clothes dirty?
Sorry, I'm poor and can't afford it!
"Huh? You really aren't going?" Guan Xiujie thought to himself. He had finally managed to glimpse a bit of his inner thoughts, and he should be interested in 'hitting people' and 'deduction'. There was no reason for him to refuse so quickly.
He asked again, "Are you angry? Do you think I'm rummaging through your house?"
"Don't be angry. I didn't make a mess, did I? It just means you're a suspect because you renovated the house, but it doesn't mean you're definitely the murderer."
"Why don't you come to my house instead of the office and take a look at my crime-solving autobiography?"
Are you listening?
"Then I'll go home with you and do chores to make amends?"
"Are you angry because your clothes are dirty?"
"If all else fails, how about I take on some difficult cases from the police station to earn some extra money to pay for your clothes?"
This barrage of verbal attacks was even more annoying than the system itself, and there was no way to fight back. Yu Ling could only pretend she didn't hear it, but when she heard that he could take on police cases, she became genuinely interested.
