Paimon ate a small cake in one bite.

It seemed as if he wanted to vent his resentment for getting up early through the little cake.

In sharp contrast, Xiawolei was a little absent-minded. She didn't touch the cake at all, but drank three large cups of black tea.

He drank tea so well that it tasted like wine.

Ye Yu keenly sensed something was wrong, and came over with a cup of tea and sat down next to Xia Wole, as if he was meeting a drinking buddy in a pub.

"What's the matter? Borrowing tea won't make your sorrow go away."

After adding a few more sugar cubes to the refilled cup of tea, Xiawolei spoke.

"The real culprit in the shooting case has been apprehended. He is the author of 'The Two Gunmen'."

The idea provided by Ye Yu last night was a clue, so Xia Wole took people to the author's house and waited there all night.

This squat really brought me an unexpected gain.

Just when Chavore and the special patrol team members arrived at the ambush location, they saw Baptiste, the author of "The Two Musketeers", digging a hole in his back garden with a rifle.

It looks like he wants to bury the gun.

Chavore recognized at a glance that the rifle in Baptiste's hand was a real weapon. In the name of cooperating with the investigation, the special patrol team took Baptiste away.

Afterwards, the Shadow Court inspected the rifle and issued a report that the rifle that Baptiste wanted to bury was the murder weapon in the rifle murder case.

The murder weapon was found, and Baptiste no longer concealed the truth and told the whole story of the gun murder.

Paimon was eating a small cake.

Chew, chew, chew...

"...The gun murder case has been solved. Shouldn't that be a cause for joy for everyone? Why are you still so unhappy?" Chew chew...

Staring at the bright tea in the cup, Xia Wulei murmured.

"This is all such a coincidence..."

As soon as she took her men to lay in wait, Baptiste brought the murder weapon and tried to bury it. It was as if he had waited for the right moment and deliberately exposed his flaws.

Moreover, in the interrogation room of the security team, Baptiste also explained the process and reasons of committing the crime very smoothly.

Just like what he wrote in his novel, for revenge.

Novels are reality embellished by romanticism.

Even though Baptiste had a motive and strong evidence, Chavore still felt strange.

That's why she's so unhappy.

Chavore had spoken to Baptiste alone after the interrogation.

Baptiste didn't look like a man who had ever killed anyone.

This was Xia Wole's intuition as the captain of the special patrol team. She had handled countless cases and had seen murderers before.

The most important point was that Baptiste's confession was too straightforward, whether from his words, his gaze, or his demeanor...

Xia Wulei didn't feel a trace of regret.

Baptiste's reasons for killing people are very similar to those in the novels he wrote. Logically speaking, he should not be so calm when he was caught without completing his final revenge.

At least if the same thing happened to Xiawolei, she would never have such an attitude.

"Ha... I hate this feeling." Xia Wulei sighed and drank the tea in one gulp.

Paimon spread his hands to express his incomprehension.

Ye Yu could empathize with the situation to some extent, and she also felt that the matter was a little too strange.

"If you hate it... then get to the bottom of it. I don't seek the truth behind the incident, I just want to be happy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Funina began to urge.

The intermission tea party time is over here, and the Thousand Spirit Shadow Festival will only last a few days.

Time is short and the task is heavy. You have to take breaks, or you’ll fall behind!

Chavore stood up.

"That's right, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm sorry to trouble you, the famous detective, for your trouble."

Ye Yu reasonably suspected that Xia Wole was deliberately putting on an awkward attitude.

But forget it...

Who made Ye Yu the only idle member in their small crime-solving team?

Xia Wulei is the leading actress, Paimeng is the script supervisor, and Ying is the photographer. They all have bright futures.

An important task like finding out the truth of the case naturally fell on an idle person like her.

"Eh...it seems my plan to be a shareholder for fun has gone down the drain~" Ye Yu put down the teacup and began to analyze the unreasonable aspects of the case based on the "truth of the case" narrated by Xia Wole.

Just as I was thinking about it, Xavier, the producer who had been busy running around and rarely seen since the filming of Yingying started, appeared on the set.

Behind him was a middle-aged man.

"Miss Yeyu!" Xavier looked around and finally found Yeyu.

A slightly joyful voice interrupted Ye Yu's thoughts, and he looked up in the direction where the voice came from.

"What a rare guest! Isn't this Xavier? How come you have time to come to the set today?"

Xavier scratched his head: "Miss Yeyu, please stop teasing me. I'm busy communicating with the people from the Shadow Association about the film's promotion..."

"I know." Ye Yu smiled and said, "So what's the matter that would make a busy person like you go to the set in person?"

"Oh, that's it..."

Xavier stepped aside and began to introduce the middle-aged man behind him to Ye Yu.

He is Morris, the original investor of the film "The Two Gunslingers".

"...Hello, Miss Yeyu." Morris greeted indifferently.

"Hello." Ye Yu also nodded in response.

Just last night, Morris contacted Xavier again and said that his financial problems had improved and he could consider cooperation again.

He is still very optimistic about the film "The Two Gunslingers".

Xavier wanted to refuse at first because he already had Ye Yu, a major shareholder who was not short of money.

Later, I changed my mind and thought that having one more investor might help Miss Yeyu save some Mora. After all, Miss Yeyu's Mora was not blown by the wind, so every penny saved is a penny earned.

And this time Xavier was also cautious and did not agree immediately. Instead, he proposed to discuss it with the major shareholder of Yingying.

So this is what happened.

"What do you think, Miss Yeyu?" Xavier asked.

"That's fine with me. Of course I'm happy if someone's willing to help me save money. But filming a feature film doesn't require any investment anymore..."

"How about letting Mr. Morris help Xavier solve the publicity problems you encounter?" Ye Yu suggested.

Xavier nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Instead of asking Morris to pay, it would be better to let him do the work.

As an investor, his connections and reputation are definitely more useful than a small producer like me.

"I think what Miss Yeyu said makes sense. What do you think, Mr. Morris?" Xavier asked.

"Don't doubt it, Mr. Morris. I have a feeling that this film will be popular all over Fontaine. Even if I am only responsible for the promotional video, I can make a lot of money." Ye Yu echoed from the side.

Come when you want, leave when you want. Is there such a cheap thing in the world?
