"Not sure, but there should be news very soon," Chen Mo replied.
Yu Hongyin furrowed her eyebrows, feeling a bit anxious.
Did Chen Mo really find the culprit, or was he just giving this excuse to fend her off?
She said softly, "Then we’ll wait nearby. If there’s any news, I hope Mr. Chen can inform us. We can also offer a little help."
Chen Mo thought for a moment, perhaps he could really use her later, and nodded, "Then don’t wander around here, be careful not to be mistaken for spies and get caught. Come with me to the Government."
"Okay."
The two naturally did not refuse and followed Chen Mo into the gates of the Sky Scale Guard.
They passed through the training ground and walked toward the Government.
"Mr. Chen."
"Greetings, Mr. Chen."
Along the way, the assistant officers stopped to salute when they saw Chen Mo. Their gazes only lingered slightly on the two women, showing no emotion.
Yu Hongyin, seeing this, gained a new understanding of Chen Mo’s prestige within the Sky Scale Guard.
Arriving at the Fire Department Court.
Li Yuan quickly approached, smiling charmingly, "Sir, you’ve arrived... hmm?"
Seeing the two girls following behind, Li Yuan quickly collected her smile and her expression turned serious.
"Who are these two...?"
"Family of the victim, don’t mind them, find yourselves a place to sit," Chen Mo said.
He picked up a cat, wiped off the dust on the public chair, then tossed it aside casually, sitting down with his legs propped on the table.
"Meow~"
The cat was a bit displeased and laid in a corner, quietly grooming its fur.
"Sir, please have some tea."
Li Yuan stood to the side, poured a cup of hot tea, then served a cup each to Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong.
"Thank you."
The two nodded in thanks.
Yu Hongyin sat on a hall chair in the corner, quietly observing Chen Mo.
She was also curious about how this man, who had solved major cases in a few short months and became something of a legend, spent his day.
This kind of efficiency in solving cases would make one think he was a workaholic who neglected sleep and rest...
Right?
Soon, reality gave her a rude awakening.
Chen Mo first leisurely sipped tea, making a critique on the tea leaves and water temperature, and even instructed Li Yuan to pay attention to quality when purchasing next time.
Then, he somehow pulled out a miscellaneous book, the cover depicting a woman barely clothed, entitled "The Fairy’s Temptation" in large characters, and began to read it with a critical eye.
"..."
Yu Hongyin initially comforted herself, given it was just past 3 a.m., the morning bell hadn’t rung, and work hadn’t officially started, so relaxing a bit was normal.
Until 5:45 a.m., after the roll call, Chen Mo placed the book on his face, and soon snoring sounds emerged from below...
She fell into complete silence.
It wasn’t until 9 a.m. that Chen Mo woke up leisurely.
Just when Yu Hongyin thought he was finally going to start handling matters, she saw him tear two pages from the book and slowly head towards the latrine.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Mo returned from relieving himself.
He glanced at the sundial, noticing it was time for breakfast.
