บท 156: The process of healing

Jia dropped by the same evening for her dinner at the hotel's restaurant. She didn't see anybody from the drama crew which she had expected. Everybody was holed up in their rooms.

"Partner~!"

She threw a salty gaze at Mingshen. "Can you stop following me for once?"

"It was my following you that saved you from becoming one with the sea~"

Her brow twitched.

"It's a lament though. You didn't get your sweet sugar rush. The case was already solved by the time we reached," he poked her.

"Is it now?"

"I think you missed to see the part where an arrest was made."

"I saw that."

He chuckled. "But you aren't satisfied."

Jia's eyes narrowed. "Are you? I saw you talking to the forensic doctor from Supervisor Lei's team. I wonder what you had to talk about when the cause of death is so clear."

"Hm it might not be so simple~"

"What do you mean?"

"Secret."
