Xu Qing An didn't answer, but the expression on his face made Huo Mu Yan shudder. He lowered his head slowly, wanting to search for his shadow on the ground. Xu Qing An had already said, "If you find it, tell him that I miss it a lot."
This sentence made Huo Muyan take a step back. He then said with difficulty, "Are you a ghost?"
Xu Qing An looked at him slowly, "Is this the first time you've seen this?"
"Then you and Lin April …"
"What do you think of us? We don't need you to tell us. Didn't you say that you only want the truth? I can help you, but I have a condition. "
"What?" Huo Muyan said as he tightly clenched his hand.
"Letting Shen Yun Chen stay in the mental hospital forever shouldn't be a difficult thing for you, right?" As Xu Qing An spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Huo Muyan blurted out, "Why?"
"Because he's always plotting to separate me from Lin Mu. I don't want to, but I can't kill him and let him stay in the hospital. It would be for the best."
Huo Muyan fell silent, then Xu Qingan continued, "You have to know, this matter is much more serious than the incident with Min Xing that you met last time. There's still a difference between good and bad people, and of course, ghosts exist as well.
After Xu Qingan finished speaking, Huo Muyan turned to look at the girl beside him, only to find that she had already disappeared.
He immediately looked towards Xu Qingan, "Everyone has their own thoughts. My goal is simple and straightforward, and it won't harm anyone. Compared to them, who do you think is more trustworthy?"
Huo Muyan wanted to say that it was obvious that you were more terrifying because he never knew that there was a ghost that could openly reveal his relationship with Lin Xin.
This is... Are you crazy?!
Xu Qingan was still waiting for his answer. Huo Muyan tried his best to remain calm as he said, "Lin Mubai … Do you know? "
Xu Qing An discovered that the man before her always misplaced the main point of her question, his face already filled with impatience. Her body swayed as she arrived before him and placed a hand on his shoulder, "It doesn't matter if she knows or not, you just have to answer me now. If you agree or not, that's fine."
"If you agree, then everyone will be happy, I will help you solve the case, help you make a fortune by helping me lock Shen Yun Chen up, if you do not agree, then I cannot guarantee how many more people will die."
It was only at this moment, when Xu Qingan was so close to him, that Huo Muyan realized that Xu Qingan's eyes were filled with a different color. The hand that was on his shoulder was also as cold as ice.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Other than the request to lock Shen Yun Chen up, is there anything else?"
Xu Qing An thought for a moment and said, "If you have any other way to persuade him not to target me, that's fine. However, my patience is limited."
"Alright, I agree."
It was unknown if it was due to Huo Muyan's quick reply, but it was Xu Qingan who narrowed his eyes. He then said, "Alright, then let's work together happily!"
Huo Muyan reached out to shake hands with him, but Xu Qingan had already turned to leave.
"Tomorrow morning, I will visit you at your police station. I hope I have a proper title. Right, tomorrow, you should find two new corpses. Hmm, more and more people have died, right?"
Perhaps it was due to Xu Qing An's understatement that Huo Mu Yan's entire body trembled. Then, he slowly raised his eyes and discovered that Xu Qing An's figure had already disappeared in front of him.
However, the temperature in the air was still as cold as before, causing Huo Muyan to shiver.
When Lin Xin woke up, he was already in his rented apartment. Xu Qingan was at his side, dressing up. Hearing the sound of him getting up, she turned her head and smiled at him.
"Good morning."
Lin looked at him and said, "Where are you going?"
"The police station." Xu Qing An was unable to see her reflection in the mirror. However, the way she wore her tie so skillfully made her feel that this might not be the first time he was doing such a thing.
She slowly stood up and helped him organize his things. "What are you going to the police station for?"
"Yes, I promised Huo Muyan that I would help him solve this case." As Xu Qing An spoke, he paused for a moment and then said, "What? Do you want to go with me?"
"Can I?"
Lin Xin's rhetorical question as well as the obvious interest in her eyes caused Xu Qing to smile slightly. Following that, he said, "Of course."
The next day, Huo Muyan received two reports of the crime.
One was the body of a man that was found on a mountain. The killer was not sure if it was the same man, but the method was cruel. The man's generator was cut off alive, so all the female colleagues at the scene had to avoid it.
The other one was an intern under Forensic Liu's command, called the Small Competition. Last night, he was strangled to death in his rented apartment by a girlfriend who had come back from work earlier.
More and more people had been drawn into this case.
In this kind of environment, aside from solving the case as soon as possible, the most important thing was to suppress public opinion. If the media were to find out about this, it would definitely cause a huge panic.
As he thought of this, Huo Muyan felt a burst of annoyance and surprise. At that moment, a voice came from behind him, "Boss, two people said they want to see you."
Huo Muyan stood up, but just as he took two steps, he saw Xu Qing An and Lin Min standing there.
Xu Qing An wore a well-ironed suit with black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. If it wasn't for the events of the previous night still fresh in his mind, Huo Muyan would never have thought that he was actually a ghost.
Thinking of this, Huo Muyan felt cold sweat trickling down his back. After calming himself down with great effort, he stepped forward and asked, "Why is Miss Lin also here?"
"She's my assistant."
Xu Qingan's role was integrated quite quickly. Lin Mu listened on the side and smiled, "Hello Officer Huo."
Huo Muyan sucked in a deep breath, trying his best to look at Xu Qingan as if she was a normal person. He asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Yeah, of course we'll go to the scene first. Don't the police all like this?"
The words Xu Qing just said made Huo Muyan feel uncomfortable. Then, he glanced at the others and said, "Then let me introduce him. This is the person who will be assisting us in this case, Mr Xu Qingan. This is his assistant, Lin April."
Many of those present had some impression of these two. However, upon realising that they had actually become an off-duty investigator, they all felt somewhat suspicious. Following that, Xu Qingan had already turned and left, "Enough with the nonsense, let's go."
"Wait!"
Just as the crowd was about to follow, another voice rang out. Xu Qing An's body shuddered and he turned his head only to see that Shen Yun Chen was looking at him.
