"Captain, the tea in your room is finished, I’m going to ask for some from the hotel staff." Xue Xiangtong walked out.
As she passed by Mu Anhan’s room, she knocked on the door.
Mu Anhan, while on a video call with Gu Xiaozhan, came over to open the door.
"Han Han, I saw you have good tea, give me some." Xue Xiangtong went straight to the point. Rather than getting bad-tasting tea from the hotel, it was better to grab some good tea from Mu Anhan.
"In the drawer, take it yourself," Mu Anhan pointed.
Xue Xiangtong took several packets and leaned her head towards the phone, "You’re on a video call with Mr. Gu. You guys have a great relationship! Mr. Gu, rest assured, I’ll take good care of Han Han."
Gu Xiaozhan felt a bit strange: "Aren’t you investigating a case? Why are you in Hui City?"
"Mr. Gu, I’m indeed investigating a case in Hui City, and I just happened to run into Han Han. I didn’t even know Han Han was here on vacation." Xue Xiangtong immediately replied.
Gu Xiaozhan nodded, "You guys continue your chat! Han Han, remember to call me if anything comes up."
"I’m flying back early tomorrow morning," Mu Anhan said with a smile.
After the video call ended, Gu Xiaozhan immediately called He Gang: "Check where Firebird is."
"Firebird went on a business trip to Hui City, saying it’s for an investigation..." Before He Gang could finish, the pen in Gu Xiaozhan’s hand was already broken.
Which means Mu Anhan and Firebird are both in Hui City.
She claimed it was a trip, but actually met up with Firebird behind his back.
What exactly happened between them?
Gu Xiaozhan dared not think further. No wonder Mu Anhan didn’t want him to accompany her. Could it be she already had an old flame by her side?
"Call the pilot, take off immediately, to Hui City." Gu Xiaozhan ordered.
"Yes!" He Gang immediately went to make arrangements.
...
Hui City.
After chatting with Mu Anhan for a few moments, Xue Xiangtong took the tea back to Firebird.
She made tea for Firebird, "Captain, do you smell the tea aroma?"
"I don’t have particular tastes for tea," Firebird wiped his mouth with a tissue.
Xue Xiangtong snorted, "I got it from Han Han..."
Firebird’s eyes slightly lowered, he said nothing more but raised the tea to drink.
"Your goddess’s tea is delicious, right?" Seeing he never bothered Mu Anhan again, truly only worshipping her as a goddess, Xue Xiangtong was at ease.
After all, Mu Anhan can be said to be the nation’s goddess, more than worthy of the title.
Firebird put down the teacup, "Do you have any analysis on the case?"
Xue Xiangtong clapped her hands, fortunately she had communicated with Mu Anhan in the afternoon.
"Yang Lili is dead, in Imperial City we didn’t find any leads on Zhao Sixue. After she came to college from the countryside, they parted ways and never contacted again. Now it seems, Zhao Sixue has nothing to do with Yang Lili’s death, but there might be some important hidden clue."
"I hope our colleagues find Zhao Sixue, maybe the case will have a breakthrough. Graduating from high school and going to college was the start of the two girls taking different paths, something might have happened between them."
After she finished speaking, Firebird nodded in agreement.
"Captain, is it possible Zhao Sixue killed Yang Lili?" Xue Xiangtong asked.
Firebird gave her a sharp look, "Have you checked for any connection between Zhao Sixue and the second victim, Tang Xiaomiao?"
"No." Xue Xiangtong shook her head, "But Han Han said the killer left a chameleon specimen on the victim’s face, which has a special meaning."
