The first victim, named Yang Lili, was a music teacher at a prestigious school.
The second victim, named Tang Xiaomiao, was a famously small-time food livestreamer.
The third victim, named Chen Zhimei, was a freelancer who had recently inherited a fortune.
Mu Anhan looked at the files; without exception, they were all young women. She felt uneasy, worried that more cases would occur.
She studied the information for a long time, and her eyes began to feel a bit sore.
Just then, Xue Xiangtong sent a message.
"Han Han, I’m afraid I can’t send you details about the case anymore."
Mu Anhan saw it: "Your captain doesn’t agree, right?"
Xue Xiangtong: "Yes."
Mu Anhan: "It’s okay, just focus on your work."
She also understood that Firebird would be worried about her safety, so it’s normal to not let her know everything.
Xue Xiangtong: "By the way, you know our captain looks at you in a way I’ve never seen before. He says something? He says he merely admires a goddess, it has nothing to do with love."
Mu Anhan was startled. Xue Xiangtong had indeed researched this carefully.
"If you put the effort you put into researching these details into solving cases, you’d already be a captain, not just an officer!"
Xue Xiangtong wailing: "Bad friend! You really are a bad friend!"
Mu Anhan thought of an idea: "Tong Tong, share the data with me. If I get any news, I’ll inform you immediately, how about that?"
Xue Xiangtong: "Wow, with this, I’d end up solving cases faster than the captain. It’s set then!"
Mu Anhan: "Send me the detailed information of the first victim; she’s the key. The killer targeted her first, and this might be the breakthrough point."
Xue Xiangtong: "Absolutely, the captain said the same. If you two worked together on the case, I’m sure the criminal wouldn’t have anywhere to hide."
Mu Anhan: "...Is your captain doing any better? Did he run out of medicine?"
Xue Xiangtong: "I’ll ask."
She knocked on the captain’s office door, seeing him at the whiteboard, writing the three victims’ names and a recent investigation relationship map.
"Captain, Han Han asked me to see if you’re feeling better. Did you run out of medicine?"
The usually stern-faced Firebird, upon hearing Mu Anhan’s name, his cold expression instantly turned gentle.
"Tell her I’m much better, and I still have medicine; there’s enough for now. No need for her to worry about these things."
"Got it!" Xue Xiangtong replied and turned to leave.
Firebird sat on the couch, feeling particularly good knowing Mu Anhan still cared about him.
He took out his phone, contemplating calling her.
In the end, he put it down.
He wanted to send her a message but held back.
He worried if he broke the seal, he would never be able to stop.
At this stage, solving the case was his primary task.
...
Tianqin Residence.
At night, Xiao Bai stood outside the bedroom, not going anywhere.
When Gu Xiaozhan was about to return to his room, it blocked him.
"Mr. Gu, the owner said you’re not allowed in the bedroom."
Gu Xiaozhan snorted and pushed past it. He opened the door and entered just as she had finished bathing and was listening to music on her tablet.
"Han Han..."
Mu Anhan paused it, "We agreed, you’re sleeping in the study!"
"I’m just going to hold you while sleeping, won’t touch you." Gu Xiaozhan had no intention of sleeping alone!
