When the two left Cheng Xiang's home, it was with a slight sense of being driven out. Cheng Xiang's mother, seeing her daughter's words were truly inappropriate, coaxed and persuaded them out of the house. Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin did not forcefully stay. It was obvious that in her agitation, Cheng Xiang had said everything she had been bottling up inside. They had gained a lot tonight, so they didn't fuss over the elderly woman's minor actions. They walked along the garden path of the residential…-

The next morning, Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin arrived at Qi Yuan's home. He rented a small, forty-square-meter apartment near the Capital University. He had received an excellent offer from an overseas university, had interned for a while, and was scheduled to officially leave the country after his thesis defense in April. The small living room and balcony of the apartment were cluttered with various packing boxes. Qi Yuan, standing in the middle, spoke to them with a hint of embarrassment: "I’ve been…

They drove all the way back to Ning City. On the way back to the police station, Ji Xun suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no." "What's wrong?" "Yesterday at noon, did we leave Wen Yangyang at the noodle shop?" Ji Xun asked with some uncertainty. "..." Huo Ranyin suddenly remembered. Yesterday, when he went to buy takoyaki for Ji Xun, he saw the lingerie store and realized a very important clue, so he rushed into the noodle shop and dragged Ji Xun away... completely forgetting about Wen Yangyang. "Did you…

Not long after the video was posted on his social media, it received a like from a maple leaf avatar. The maple leaf avatar was named "Still Waters Run Deep," and the signature was "Quiet years, peaceful and prosperous times." The avatar, ID, and signature all had very middle-aged characteristics. But Ji Xun knew that although the owner of this account was middle-aged, they were not at all "quiet and peaceful." Wasn't this their bureau's Chief Zhou, who usually could pretend to be a Buddhist in the…

Outside, Ji Xun clicked his tongue twice and mentally lit a candle for Mo Nai. Huo Ranyin seemed to be in a particularly bad mood today. Thinking this, he saw that there was no more immediate tension inside and turned his attention to Duan Hongwen's interrogation. Ji Xun was watching the situation in all three interrogation rooms, and among them, the one with Duan Hongwen and Tan Mingjiu was the comedic relief of the three, and quite interesting. Duan Hongwen, reluctantly, and with a pained…

Now that the police station had a decision on the next step, Wen Yangyang returned to the interrogation room and told Wei Zhenzhu: "Miss Wei, you're fine for now. You can sign here and go home first." "What about my husband?" Wei Zhenzhu asked. She signed her name on the file. Her handwriting was fluid and bold, not looking much like a woman's script, but more like... Wen Yangyang took a couple more glances. Wei Zhenzhu seemed to be able to read Wen Yangyang's mind. She smiled and said, "My…

“Ji Xun was lying on the bed, and Huo Ranyin was asleep beside him. That intense, frenzied... intimate exchange had ended a few minutes ago. Quietness returned to the room. The main bedroom light was off, leaving a single bedside lamp. The orange-yellow light hit Huo Ranyin’s sweaty face, like a hand gently stroking his handsome brows and the fatigue on his face, making Ji Xun want to touch this face he’d seen every day recently. Thinking this, he actually reached out, placing his hand on Huo…

The morning sun scorched Ji Xun's eyebrows. He twitched his brows in the vast sunshine, opened his eyes, and found the phone on his bedside table, glancing at it. Seven o'clock in the morning. It was rare to wake up at this time... To be precise, it was rare to wake up naturally at this time. Recently, he was always forced to see the morning sun at this hour because of a certain someone. Ji Xun mumbled twice and got out of bed. When he opened his door, the door opposite was still tightly…

The night of Lunar New Year's Day quietly turned the page. When February 9th arrived, and the sky was still shrouded in mist, Ji Xun, who had been bored and weary after an all-night stakeout in his car, suddenly saw a shadow appear in the camera. The shadow was gray, occupying only a corner of the lens. In the pre-dawn gloom, it was as if the mist in the sky had condensed into a solid form, hanging heavily in one corner of the screen. Ji Xun straightened his body, which had been slumping in the…

“Ji Xun, don't change the subject.” “How is this changing the subject? It's six in the morning before dawn, and a pair of hands suddenly reaches out from the back seat of a car outside a cemetery—that looks exactly like the standard opening of a ghost story, doesn’t it? I’m just lucky I ran into a charming ghost.” As he spoke, Ji Xun raised his hand and subtly slipped his fingertips into the gap between his neck and Huo Ranyin’s palm. Huo Ranyin didn't seem to genuinely want to…
