Lin Mu ordered two steaks and two juices from the waiter, and chatted casually with Qi Manlin,
"Hey Wild Girl, I helped you catch the Corpse Emperor, that’s quite an achievent. You’ll definitely get a promotion, right?" Lin Mu, bored, asked.
Qi Manlin glanced disdainfully at Lin Mu, "What do you know? Do you think getting a promotion as a police officer is as easy as saying it out loud? It depends on performance. Although catching the Corpse Emperor was a major achievent, it’s far from enough. I still have a case in my hands that’s not solved. Once that’s complete, then maybe."
"What case?" Lin Mu asked openly.
"Recently, there’s been an international thief nad Ron who’s infiltrated Wancheng, and I’m responsible for tracking him down. Although many in the police force recognize him, he’s too cunning and hasn’t been captured yet. Recently, there have been more and more theft reports that can’t be traced, and the higher-ups are anxious. It’s causing a stir among Wancheng City Citizens, adding a lot of pressure on !" Qi Manlin said with a troubled expression.
"Oh? Is that Ron really so capable, like a ghost that even the Wancheng police can’t catch?"
"Yes, and what’s more annoying is that in the past few days, many girls have reported to the police station claiming they’ve been swindled of money and feelings by soone pretending to be the son of Apple’s CEO, Jobs. I suspect this person is Ron. He uses his language tricks to impersonate Jobs’ son and deceives so pretty girls by exploiting their gold-digging tendencies towards rich Arican kids; but the real Jobs doesn’t have a son, so I must find a way to catch this Ron!" Qi Manlin said with excitent, clenching her fists.
"Funny, you don’t even know what he looks like, how are you going to catch him? What if you catch the wrong person?" Lin Mu smiled.
"Hmph, I don’t care about that. If you play with fire, you’re bound to get burned eventually. Since Ron is such a lecher, he’ll slip up sooner or later!" Qi Manlin snorted coldly.
"Heh heh, when you catch the thief Ron and get promoted, rember to look after your buddy later, alright!" Lin Mu joked.
"Hmph, I won’t let anyone go if they break the law, including you, Lin Mu. If you commit a cri and fall into my hands, I’ll show you no rcy!"
"Damn, won sure have venomous hearts, don’t they? I’m still your friend Feifei’s husband, after all, need you be so harsh with ? Ah, ’eting you was my mistake, why didn’t you say anything during our passionate love’..."
Lin Mu sighed awkwardly and even began to hum a pop song!
However, Manlin gave Lin Mu a mischievous smile and said, "Of course, if you beg for rcy, there might be certain things we can negotiate, but you’d have to obediently listen to ."
"Uhh..." Lin Mu looked at Qi Manlin’s expression and was at a loss for words!
The desserts arrived, and Lin Mu chatted with Qi Manlin while eating. It was his first ti having a al alone with Qi Manlin, and it felt quite nice.
Elegant music played in the restaurant, and n and won in the hall quietly chatted. After eating, Lin Mu picked up a napkin to wipe his hands.
"I’m going to the restroom." Lin Mu stood up and said.
Qi Manlin nodded, "Mm, go ahead!"
After Lin Mu left, Qi Manlin, feeling bored, sipped her juice, and unintentionally her gaze fell on a young man diagonally across the room.
Of course, Qi Manlin wasn’t infatuated; what caught her attention wasn’t the man’s looks, but rather a small action she noticed.
Sitting opposite the man was a pretty young girl who might have needed to go to the restroom. After greeting the man, she walked away, and as soon as she did, the man took a bottle of liquid from his pocket and quickly poured it into the girl’s cup.
Then he shook the cup and placed it back. Upon seeing this, Qi Manlin frowned, certain that the man was up to no good and suspected he was poisoning the girl’s drink.
At that mont, Lin Mu finished using the restroom and returned to the table. Noticing Qi Manlin’s dazed look, he asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Look over there, that man’s behavior and tracks are suspicious!" Qi Manlin said seriously.
Lin Mu glanced casually and didn’t find anything amiss, habitually countering, "What’s suspicious? The guy is just eating there peacefully. What’s it to you? Don’t be so paranoid all the ti, can’t even have a al in peace!"
As they spoke, the pretty girl returned from the restroom, sitting opposite the man with a smile.
"There are two people, okay?" Qi Manlin said discontentedly.
Lin Mu glanced over and then his eyes fixated greedily on the girl’s face.
"I asked you to look at the man, why are you staring at the girl?" Qi Manlin shot an annoyed look at Lin Mu,
"What? Jealous?" Lin Mu asked with a smile,
"Jealous of you? Quick, see if you can figure it out!"
"Oh, I think I get it now!"
With her prompting, Lin Mu quickly used his Seventh Sense. Instantly, two silver-gray rays shot from his eyes, and he used his strong Sensing Ability to scan the man’s mind, indeed discovering it was filled with so dark matter. The guy wasn’t a good person!
That was Lin Mu’s first thought, but he disliked accusing others without evidence, so he casually said,
"Damn, what a coincidence. Looking at him, well-dressed as he is, doesn’t seem like he’d be an international thief?"
"With a woman’s intuition, I’m sure this guy is Ron. Even if he isn’t, he’s no good. Either way, I can’t let him go!" Qi Manlin said as she got up to go over there.
"Damn, I’d say my Seventh Sense is even more kickass! Calm down!" Lin Mu reached out and pulled Qi Manlin back to her seat.
"What?"
"What do you an what, the guy’s just eating quietly here. You can’t just go and arrest him without any evidence." Lin Mu said, feeling awkward.
"I just saw him put sothing in the juice." Qi Manlin returned.
"Yeah, but even if he did add sothing, unless he commits the cri, can you arrest him?"
