"In this case, can I call the police directly? No, is this within your scope of business? I'd better call the official number 110. Since it was found in the village, who knows if the whole village is complicit in the crime. It would be better to call more people..."

Xiang Huanian was thinking about the worst-case scenario and was about to take out his cell phone to make a call, but when he reached into his pocket to take out his cell phone, he found that his cell phone had just fallen.

"Oh, I almost forgot, my phone fell down, Mr. Gu, how about you call the police?"

Xiang Huanian turned his gaze to Gu Lingyan again.

But before Gu Lingyan took action, Captain Xing spoke up:

"No need. I'll just call my colleagues and they'll probably send someone to do a secret investigation first. Once they have enough evidence, they'll launch an operation... Then, this trash can needs to be removed from the scene to prevent it from being discovered and destroyed by the murderer who might be living nearby... Xiao Su, go make contact and use my name to get a helicopter to take this trash can away directly."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Xiao Su immediately walked aside and began to contact and report.

Team Xing issued an "expulsion order" to Xiang Huanian and Gu Lingyan:

"Thank you both for your cooperation. You can go back now. We will wait here for the helicopter to transport the evidence back."

"Ah? But if we don't go back together, the helicopter will arrive soon. From this distance, even the villa can see you. Wouldn't that make you very suspicious?"

Xiang Huanian's first reaction when she was issued the "expulsion order" was to understand that the other party wanted to protect her and Gu Lingyan, two ordinary people.

Corpses or villages, no matter which side, it sounds very dangerous in the next stage of investigation and handling of the case... At this time, it is the most appropriate time and the wisest choice to distance yourself from this group of plainclothes officers.

However, Xiang Huanian looked at Captain Xing and the friendly-looking Xiao Su, both of whom had faces full of righteous bravery...she just couldn't nod her head.

"If you continue to get involved with us, you'll likely be affected by potential dangers. Injury is a minor matter, and it could even be life-threatening. I personally appreciate your consideration, but I don't recommend that you stay here."

When hearing Xiang Huanian's question, Captain Xing's expression softened for a moment, but soon became serious, and he spoke to Xiang Huanian in a serious and earnest manner.

The other party had refused to this extent. Although Xiang Huanian, who was physically exhausted, felt disappointed and regretful that he could not help, he still accepted Captain Xing's suggestion.

"Okay, but you have to be careful..."

In China, no one would not worry when hearing that someone around them is about to face criminals of murder or human trafficking.

After all, China is the safest place compared to the rest of the world. So, unless someone is extremely vicious, no normal person would take such a big risk and commit a murder on Chinese soil.

Therefore, once a murder occurs, the police will face great risks when facing the dark forces behind the case.

Xiang Huanian’s worries are understandable.

"Then let me assist you."

At this moment, Gu Lingyan took a step forward and said to Captain Xing with a firm expression.

"I can use a wooden cannon, I'm quite skilled, I've learned the techniques of the armed police, and I have combat experience. I should be able to be a help to you."

Before Captain Xing opened his mouth to refuse, Gu Lingyan took the initiative to introduce himself in a way that the other party could not refuse.

Captain Xing: “…”

This self-introduction, to be honest... Captain Xing followed Gu Lingyan's words and began to look him up and down. He stared at Gu Lingyan's figure, as if he wanted to see through Gu Lingyan's clothes and see the well-trained and frequently used muscles inside.

Although he fully understood Captain Xing's scrutiny of him, his gaze was too explicit... Gu Lingyan suppressed the urge to cover his chest with his hands, straightened his back, and evenly matched his opponent, even slightly suppressing him. He teased Captain Xing:

"Well, Captain Xing, have you figured out what's going on? Do you think I'm qualified?"

"……Can."

Seeing the somewhat gay-ish interaction between Gu Lingyan and Captain Xing, Xiang Huanian suddenly had an inspiration: "!!!"

This stance, this look, this communication... ahhhhhhh I need to write it all down!!!

The only regret Xiang Huanian felt about this situation was that she couldn't take out her little notebook. Otherwise, she would have an auntie's smile on her face and would have been writing furiously.

brush brush...

"Niannian? What's wrong with you? You look a little weird..."

Gu Lingyan turned around, wanting to send Xiang Huanian back to Lin's father, Lin's mother, Lin Yunchu, and Gu Shaoyu, and then go back to the villa with them. But then he saw that the corners of Xiang Huanian's mouth were about to curl up, but he seemed to be suppressing a smile. The expression on his face looked very strange...

"Ah! Well, I was just thinking about something, Mr. Gu, did you say anything?"

Looking at the corner of Xiang Huanian's mouth, Gu Lingyan thought of the two-dimensional culture he had recently learned about. Somehow, the first thing that came to mind was the various age-restricted danmei cultures that had given him the most shocking impact at the time, such as the top-ranked ones of robbery, yandere imprisonment, etc.... Well, it's better not to think too much about it...

"...I'll take you to Shao Yu first, and then I'll come down to help."

"OK, all right."

Under normal circumstances, Xiang Huanian would refuse and say that she could do it alone, but she felt guilty, and the surrounding environment was not 100% safe, so Xiang Huanian nodded without hesitation and very readily.

"Then I'll take her up first and then down."

"Ah."

------

"Da, da, da, crunch..."

Xiang Huanian's cell phone fell into a mud puddle halfway down the mountain, where an ordinary person would never find it under normal circumstances, and would not be able to find it even if they actively looked for it.

but……

unfortunately.

Xiang Huanian's luck in some aspects can't be said to be bad.

A villager who was feeling anxious and always felt that something bad was going to happen looked at the mountain after the rain stopped, picked up a hoe, carried a basket, and went up the mountain, thinking of picking some mushrooms and doing some work to calm his uneasy mind.

Then, gurgle gurgle gurgle...

"Huh? What's that noise?! A landslide??!"

Xiang Huanian's tenacious mobile phone, like an indestructible brick, fell near the villager.

"what is this?"

Curiosity overcame fear, and the villagers found the mud puddle where Xiang Huanian's mobile phone was and picked it up.

"cell phone?"
