江户川乱步的阴兽

“Go where?”

Chu Tong took a deep breath as she got into the car, turning to look at Ye Xiaofei.

“You think?” Ye Xiaofei narrowed his eyes, enjoying Chu Tong’s conflicted expression, though she tried to appear indifferent.

“Got it.”

Chu Tong turned her head and started driving. After more than ten minutes, she parked the car in front of a hotel.

“Why did you bring me to a hotel?”

Chu Tong frowned at Ye Xiaofei in annoyance.

“Of course for…” Chu Tong gave Ye Xiaofei a stern look.

Ye Xiaofei responded with the same coldness, “Can’t you think of anything normal? I want to go to the place where those two guys were last seen.”

“Ah…” Chu Tong was stunned, then immediately excited, “You mean we continue investigating this case?”

Ye Xiaofei said, “I just want to have a look, see if we can find some clues. It’s just trying our luck.”

“Great!” Chu Tong agreed, but quickly added, “But if it’s just the two of us, isn’t it too dangerous? After all, those two are very powerful.”

“Scared?” Ye Xiaofei raised an eyebrow, taunting her with his words.

Chu Tong stared back directly, saying, “Of course, I’m not scared, but my life doesn’t matter as much as yours. This is about the lives of countless officers in our police force. I have to protect your safety, so I can’t take you there.”

“You sound noble, but they are definitely not there anymore. I just want to go and find some clues that you guys might have missed. Do you really want those two to escape freely?” Ye Xiaofei retorted.

Chu Tong hesitated for a moment and said, “You do have a point, but you have to promise me that if we encounter them, you must escape immediately. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect you.”

Ye Xiaofei glanced at Chu Tong and chuckled, “Heh, no offense, but you’re really weak.”

“You…” Chu Tong was about to fire back, but she suddenly remembered the strength Ye Xiaofei had displayed when they arrested the suspect at the restaurant. He was indeed quite powerful.

Moreover, she recalled the first time she met Ye Xiaofei when he had single-handedly beaten up the bodyguards from both the Wang and Tang families, who were known to be formidable.

“Remember how good I am?” Ye Xiaofei blinked, raising his finger to tilt Chu Tong’s chin, and said, “You’re my little sweetheart; how can 1 bear to let you take risks?”

“You…” Chu Tong almost slapped Ye Xiaofei’s hand away, her hand halfway up in the air, but she held back, letting Ye Xiaofei continue to be impudent, and said, “Are you sure you can outmatch them? Do you know how powerful they are?”

“Quite smooth, the feel of your chin is nice.” Ye Xiaofei complimented before adding, “Of course, I know. After seeing the palm injuries on those four men, if I can’t make a basic judgment, then I’m not a skilled doctor.”

Chu Tong assessed Ye Xiaofei up and down and asked, “You think… you’re not weaker than them?”

“Of course,” Ye Xiaofei humphed and said, “Do you think only the person who saved you has enough strength? Let me tell you, I possess the same abilities. Be my lover, and you won’t regret it.”

Chu Tong opened his mouth, then took a deep breath and replied, “Alright, let’s go.”

After Su Zhenhai was kidnapped, the detective team couldn’t simply sit idle. They immediately activated the city’s surveillance system, tracking their movements.

Initially, the car they were following was a clear target. However, once the car entered a run-down neighborhood, it became challenging to determine if they had left the area due to several malfunctioning cameras.

The police quickly arrived at the scene, only to find the abandoned car without any clues, losing the trail of the two individuals.

It was a small truck that seemed to have transported live chickens yesterday, and the entire vehicle reeked of chicken droppings.

On their way to the scene, Chu Tong briefed Ye Xiaofei on all the known information.

Ye Xiaofei just glanced at the open car door and then closed it before walking ahead.

“You found some clues?” Chu Tong asked, puzzled.

“Follow me,” Ye Xiaofei said, continuing forward.

Chu Tong quickly followed Ye Xiaofei, carefully observing the surroundings, but she couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

“What did you discover?” Chu Tong inquired.

“The smell, the scent on them,” Ye Xiaofei replied.

“You can smell that too? Oh, you mean the chicken droppings smell,” Chu Tong suddenly realized, but then shook his head and said, “But I can’t smell anything now.”

Ye Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Chu Tong and retorted, “You may have a good physique, but you lack brains.”

“You…” Chu Tong blushed at the remark, feeling indignant, “Isn’t that right?”

“Of course not. I’m looking for the scent of the person who used poison. That kind of smell can’t be concealed,” Ye Xiaofei explained.

“So, you’ve become like a bloodhound?” Chu Tong mumbled, feeling a lot better after venting some frustration at this guy..
