At this moment, Firebird was filled with mixed emotions; he didn’t want Mu Anhan to get involved.
With the unclear case and the constantly evil-minded perpetrator, he didn’t want to see her being swept into unknown dangers.
Mu Anhan and Xue Xiangtong embraced, sensing Firebird’s gaze, and she nodded at him.
"By the way, I have a discovery to share with you all." Mu Anhan said, inviting the three of them into the car, and disclosed the connection between Yang Lili’s friend and Zhao Sixue.
Firebird nodded, "This is indeed a significant discovery. I’ll immediately have the people at the bureau go to Zhao Sixue to understand the situation."
Xue Xiangtong gazed admiringly at Mu Anhan, "Han Han, you’re amazing. With this lead, maybe we’ll solve the case soon."
"Once you arrive, you’ll also find Zhao Sixue." Mu Anhan patted her head, "Let’s go find something tasty; I heard this Ancient City has a lot of delicious food."
"Great, great!" Xue Xiangtong thought, amidst the investigation, enjoying food is truly the ultimate pleasure in life.
After speaking, she saw Firebird didn’t make a sound: "Captain, you should come with us!"
"I won’t go. You must pay attention to safety. If anything happens, protect yourselves first..." Firebird said, noticing others around, and realized they were Gu Xiaozhan’s people assigned to protect Mu Anhan, which eased his mind a bit.
"We’ll bring you something delicious." Xue Xiangtong immediately replied.
She got in Mu Anhan’s car, and the two returned to the county to find food.
Firebird drove the local bureau car, still conducting some investigations in the village.
"Han Han, I wonder if Yang Lili was killed by her lover?" Xue Xiangtong asked while eating.
"No evidence yet, hard to say." Mu Anhan shook her head, "These three cases all have the same token assigned: a specimen of a young chameleon stuck to the victim’s face."
Xue Xiangtong nodded, "I’m actually worried more cases will happen. The captain just took over, only to face such a complicated case, what bad luck."
Mu Anhan said nothing, just focused on eating, "We’ll go for a stroll around the Ancient City later."
"Should we ask the captain to join?" Xue Xiangtong sought her opinion.
"No need." Mu Anhan said, "Let him focus on the case."
"Hahaha..." Xue Xiangtong laughed, "I thought so too, the captain’s unfortunate to have a colleague on a business trip who only wants to indulge in fun."
Mu Anhan laughed too. Actually, since uncovering Firebird’s identity, she felt quite conflicted.
If he chooses not to recognize her, she’ll also pretend her memory hasn’t returned.
Besides, she has to consider Gu Xiaozhan’s feelings.
He’s her husband, the man she’s destined to be with for life.
In the afternoon, the two strolled around the Ancient City until their legs nearly gave out, before heading back to the hotel.
Of course, Xue Xiangtong bought lots of delicious food for Firebird, "Captain, eat up!"
They stayed at the same hotel as Mu Anhan, planning to return to the Imperial City the next day.
Firebird glanced at the delicacies, "Did you eat for this long?"
"We went out to have some fun too." Xue Xiangtong added, "It’s not a business-funded trip, Han Han paid."
While eating, Firebird reviewed the materials collected today, "Make me a cup of tea!"
"Yes!" Xue Xiangtong found his room lacked tea leaves; the two were in a rush and hadn’t packed any, "Captain..."
