270: Ask Su Yue for his opinion

Tian Yuwei blinked her eyes, staring intently at Su Yue, and said softly, "You're not a weird uncle, you don't look like one!"

Su Yue hadn't expected the drunk Tian Yuwei to be so adorable and argue with him. He couldn't help but want to tease her more to see what she would say.

He smiled and said, "Oh, really? Then tell me what a weird uncle looks like."

Tian Yuwei lowered her head in thought, then looked up and stared at Su Yue seriously, "Anyway, you're not!"

While the usual Tian Yuwei was also obedient, she was even more adorable when drunk. Su Yue couldn't help but stroke her head again, a doting smile on his face.

He didn't bother arguing with a child and smiled, nodding, "Alright, alright, I'm not a weird uncle. So, do you want to go home with big brother?"

Tian Yuwei nodded heavily, "Yes! We're going home!"

Su Yue, having successfully lured the drunk girl, was in a good mood. However, he was also worried she might fall off while drunk. After a moment of hesitation, he finally decided to let her sit in front of him.

This was an electric bike. If Tian Yuwei fell asleep behind him and fell off, he would hate himself.

Su Yue hadn't expected Tian Yuwei to get drunk. If he had known, he would have taken a taxi earlier.

But now, holding Tian Yuwei while riding the electric bike back, Su Yue felt it was quite nice this way. The soft feeling in his arms made him feel a little lightheaded, and his lips were curved upwards the whole time.

The drunk Tian Yuwei was very well-behaved, aside from being a bit incoherent, she didn't cause much trouble.

However, because Lin Jia was already asleep when they got home, Su Yue was worried about disturbing her. He didn't dare to make too much noise and carefully took Tian Yuwei back to her room.

Looking at his former room now filled with many female items that weren't his, Su Yue felt strange inside, but he didn't dislike the feeling.

There was even a sense of... excitement... that his territory was being shared?

Su Yue didn't know what was going on with this thought and didn't dwell on it. Because at this moment, Tian Yuwei on the bed was fidgeting, seemingly wanting to take off her clothes.

Su Yue's eyes widened instantly. Subconsciously, he grabbed the quilt from the foot of the bed and covered Tian Yuwei with it.

Su Yue's mind was filled with the glimpse of soft, fair skin he had just seen, and his face felt slightly warm.

Perhaps the quilt was too thick, making Tian Yuwei even more uncomfortable. She twisted and turned restlessly on the bed, mumbling something under her breath.

Su Yue was a little curious about what she was saying. After a moment of hesitation, he leaned down and put his ear close to Tian Yuwei's mouth, wanting to hear clearly what she was saying.

"Mmm... hot... mmm..."

Tian Yuwei tried to push the quilt away with both hands. Perhaps she was too weak from being drunk or something, but she couldn't move it after trying for a long time. Then she moved her hands towards her clothes.

Su Yue instantly sensed Tian Yuwei's intention, and an alarm bell rang in his mind. He subconsciously glanced at the door and then saw Tian Yuwei's face flushed red from the heat.

Suddenly, Su Yue didn't know what to do. Just as he was struggling internally, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"Su Yue? Why haven't you turned off the light yet?"

Lin Jia's voice rang out, and Su Yue instantly broke free from his struggle, fleeing the place that was causing him severe internal condemnation as if escaping.

As he forcefully closed Tian Yuwei's door, he said calmly, "Oh, Tian Yuwei is drunk. I just brought her back."

Lin Jia's muddled mind instantly cleared up. She looked at Su Yue, who was standing obediently in front of her door like he was being punished, and felt a little worried.

"Tian Yuwei is drunk? Is she okay? Do you need me to take care of her?"

Su Yue couldn't have asked for more from Lin Jia. Seeing her offer voluntarily, he readily agreed.

"She seems very uncomfortable. Go and check on her, see if she needs help. I'll make her some hangover tea, you can give it to her later."

Lin Jia nodded as she went downstairs, "Okay, I'll go and see."

After spending this time together, Lin Jia and Tian Yuwei had a good relationship. Now that Tian Yuwei was drunk, she would naturally go and take care of her.

After a chaotic night, Su Yue finally lay down on the sofa exhausted and let out a heavy sigh, his emotions particularly complex.

It seemed he had missed something.

The next day during lunch break, Liang Yuzhu invited Su Yue out for lunch.

Su Yue, who had originally planned to just grab some takeout, readily agreed when Captain Liang invited him.

He could guess the purpose of Captain Liang's invitation and wouldn't be petty about this small matter.

After all, he was about to tell Captain Liang something related to the case, and Captain Liang, who was eager to solve the case, naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

Since Su Yue had to go back to work after lunch, Captain Liang chose a restaurant not far from Far View (Yuantu) and even generously booked a private room.

As the waiter led him into the private room, Su Yue couldn't help but complain.

"Captain Liang, you've really gone all out this time. It seems this has really troubled you?"

Captain Liang was still a little unaccustomed to Su Yue's teasing, but she didn't deny it, just showed a rare hint of shyness on her face.

"You're making fun of me. Because this matter can't be made public yet, I could only choose a private room."

Su Yue shook his head, "It's okay, I understand."

Su Yue could understand Captain Liang's approach of not easily revealing the details of the case. After all, this case was indeed different from previous ones; it was very complex to investigate.

Just based on the more than ten receipts provided by his intelligence system, this case involved a wide range of issues, and it would be quite complicated to investigate quickly.

Seeing that Su Yue could understand her, Captain Liang felt a little happy inside, but she didn't show it on her face.

She handed the menu to Su Yue and said, "Su Yue, see if there's anything you want to eat. Feel free to order, I'm paying today."

Seeing Captain Liang being so generous, Su Yue couldn't help but laugh. He took the menu and said with a smile, "It seems Captain Liang got a good bonus from the City Outstanding Youth Award. You're being so generous today."

Su Yue didn't stand on ceremony with Captain Liang and directly ordered two of his favorite dishes.

Captain Liang took the menu from Su Yue's hand, added a soup, and then was a little surprised after the waiter took the menu and closed the door.

"Su Yue, how did you know I won this award?"

Su Yue didn't hide anything from Captain Liang and directly opened the report he saw while slacking off to show her.

"Because Captain Liang, you were reported on."

Looking at Su Yue's screen, Captain Liang finally understood what was going on.

She had been busy with the case these past few days, and the Director had rushed to pull her to the award ceremony today.

At that time, she had stayed up until the early morning and finally fell asleep on the table for a while. The exhaustion was clearly visible in the photo.

Looking at her haggard photo, Captain Liang immediately exited the page and explained with a cold face, "No, this award came out of nowhere. I only found out I won today."

Although Captain Liang appeared cold and emotionless, both of her ears were red, and she was too embarrassed to look at Su Yue.

Captain Liang didn't know why she didn't want Su Yue to see her in such a disheveled state. When she saw the photo, her first thought was to deny it, but she also knew that she couldn't deny it; the person in the photo was her.

Worried that Su Yue would get entangled in this conversation again, Captain Liang eagerly spoke to Su Yue.

"Su Yue, didn't I apply for you to be involved in the case? Originally, the higher-ups were unwilling, but thankfully the Director kept resisting the pressure."

"After they learned that you provided a lot of intelligence to Police and helped us arrest many people, they had no objections. Now you can understand the specific details of this case."

After spending so much time together, Su Yue already knew Captain Liang's capabilities. When she said she was applying for him to join the case, he knew she would succeed, so he wasn't too surprised by this.

He nodded, "Okay, tell me."

Then Captain Liang told Su Yue everything Police were currently investigating. Su Yue then realized that the case was indeed as complex as he had imagined.

Including the headless female body in the southern suburban area, Police had now discovered 5 such unidentified bodies.

Captain Liang said heavily, "One set of knives from the knife receipts you gave me is related to the death of one of the bodies. The forensic doctor is currently conducting further autopsy, and there should be news later."

She looked at Su Yue with a very complex expression, "Su Yue, tell me, do the receipts you gave me represent a life lost at the hands of that beast?"

Such a topic was too heavy, and Captain Liang rarely showed a sad expression. Although Su Yue had thought this from the beginning and didn't have much hope for this case.

But seeing Captain Liang's worldview seemingly collapsing, after a moment of hesitation, he gently comforted Captain Liang, "No, I checked the last purchase date of that knife set, it was three days ago."

"The other party definitely hasn't succeeded in such a short time, we still have time."

He changed the subject, "By the way, how is Police investigation into those shops and delivery addresses going? Have you found any useful information?"

Su Yue had also instinctively checked when he saw the receipts, but he couldn't find anything. He didn't even know where the other party bought these things.

In this society governed by law, the other party could still buy controlled knives more than 10 times. It was no wonder the higher-ups directly sent people. After all, this incident had shocked many people.

Hearing Su Yue's question, Captain Liang's expression became even heavier.

"Currently, Police haven't clarified the specific shops and delivery addresses. The other party should be a Hacker. He listed the purchasing shops on the dark web and layered it, so it will take some time to clarify."

"But don't worry, Police will definitely clarify what's going on as soon as possible."

Su Yue shook his head, "You don't have to tell me everything you find. Don't worry, whether you tell me the details of the case or not, I will definitely give you the intelligence out of consideration for you."

Su Yue had always known that Captain Liang would enter a state of frenzy when handling cases. Seeing her recently, the current Captain Liang indeed fit this description.

Worried that Captain Liang would damage her health if she continued to stay up like this, Su Yue, who had been with Captain Liang for so long, didn't want anything to happen to her.

Captain Liang was startled, feeling happy inside, but she still shook her head without much change in expression.

"No, I'm just telling you what I should tell you. After all, you provided us with so much intelligence, I should inform you of the case progress."

After a moment of hesitation, she finally said, "Actually, I still have some doubts that I can't figure out. I think you might know, so I also thought you should understand the case first, and then you might be able to answer me."

"Oh?" Su Yue looked at Captain Liang in confusion, feeling a little curious.

Captain Liang's current status was entirely due to her hard work. Some media even called Captain Liang the 'Little Sherlock Holmes.' He hadn't expected to hear Captain Liang actively say that she had something she didn't understand today.

She even wanted to ask him what was going on.

He had originally thought this was just a normal meal, and at most, he would just understand the case first and then possibly tell Captain Liang what he knew.

He hadn't expected Captain Liang to ask him questions first.

Although surprised, Su Yue wasn't bothered by Captain Liang suddenly bothering him. Instead, he was very curious about her doubts.

He wondered what kind of difficult problem had stumped Captain Liang, making her actively seek his help.

To be honest, Su Yue was very excited at the moment and eager for Captain Liang to explain.

After speaking, Captain Liang was less conflicted. It wasn't so difficult to confide her doubts to Su Yue.

She said, "Su Yue, in the intelligence you gave, aren't the shops on each receipt different?"

Su Yue nodded, "Yes, I already told you this from the beginning."

Su Yue quietly looked at Captain Liang, anticipating what she would say.

He had actually been thinking about this case these past few days, but because he didn't know what clues Police had, it was a bit difficult for him to investigate alone.

He had studied those shops over and over again, but he still couldn't see any problems.

But now that Captain Liang brought it up, it meant that these shops must be related, it was just that he hadn't found it yet.

Captain Liang took out her phone, opened a picture, and handed it to Su Yue.

"Su Yue, look, if you break down the names of these shops, can they form a sentence? But I still can't figure out what 'Still as high as the sky' is related to."

Su Yue looked at the screen where Captain Liang had personally broken down the names of more than a dozen shops and combined them into several arrangements, finally evolving into the arrogance of 'Still as high as the sky.'

Looking at the entire paper filled with writing, with only this sentence possibly forming a complete sentence at the end, even Su Yue couldn't help but marvel at Captain Liang's patience.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Captain Liang, as the rumors say, you really are doing your best to solve the case."

The names of these more than ten shops were things like 'XX Grocery Store' or 'XX Department Store.' However, in Captain Liang's eyes, these shops could be looked at together.

But it was precisely because of Captain Liang's reminder that Su Yue's mind actually had an idea.

However, this was just his guess, and he didn't know if it was true.

Seeing Captain Liang looking at him with anticipation, Su Yue spoke.
