Ye Tiao saw it all and called the waiter over to order another dozen beers.
Shi Mei nudged her, "Don’t drink so much."
Gao Lian lit up the cigarette that Ye Tiao had just handed him, heard Shi Mei’s comment, and grinned, "Beer won’t get you drunk."
Ye Tiao also noticed that Gao Lian could hold his liquor very well.
At least much better than Shi Mei.
With a carefree wave of her hand, Ye Tiao fearlessly said, "What’s there to be afraid of? If you don’t drink, then don’t drink. Can’t stop us from drinking, can you?"
Shi Mei ignored her and looked at Gao Lian, "Did you find anything new about the case you were investigating last time?"
It had to be said, Gao Lian was indeed very capable.
As a professional detective, his skills in investigating cases were countless times better than hers. In less than two months, he had found a lot of clues and evidence that she had not been able to uncover.
Gao Lian took a drag of his cigarette and said, "From what I can see, the case you mentioned is indeed possible, and the likelihood is high."
Shi Mei’s eyes narrowed, "Did you get some new evidence?"
Gao Lian nodded slightly and flicked some ash, "Indeed, I’ve just discovered some new information recently, but it’s related to another case, so I have to keep it confidential. I can’t tell you for now, but your guess was right, the butler around Bai Yuejie is not simple."
Shi Mei squinted her eyes, "He’s related to another case?"
Gao Lian smiled and didn’t answer directly, instead he asked, "Have you been in contact with your ex-husband recently?"
Ye Tiao exclaimed, "Is Officer Gao asking this as a detective or as a man?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Mei slapped her lightly, "What are you talking about?"
Gao Lian didn’t mind and chuckled, "A detective can also be a man, it’s just a gender, what’s the difference?"
Of course it’s different.
Ye Tiao looked at him with a meaningful gaze, "What do you think?"
Shi Mei was fed up with her and directly answered, "No, what about it?"
Gao Lian also chose to ignore Ye Tiao’s previous comment, "His car accident was a bit suspicious, but since he has been unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, that case remains unresolved. I was hoping, if possible, you could help persuade him. After all, the sooner the case is closed and the perpetrator caught, the sooner he can rest easy."
Speaking of which, it was also a big worry.
Shi Lingyan seemed so unconcerned these days, wasn’t he afraid of enemies seeking revenge?
Though an immediate action from the adversaries might not happen, if they really wanted his life, precautions were necessary.
Gao Lian thought of Shi Lingyan and shook his head.
"I’ve had no contact with him," Shi Mei honestly said, "He probably already knows who the murderer is. Since he doesn’t want to pursue it, then let’s not pursue it."
From the current situation, even if Shi Lingyan wouldn’t help Bai Yuejie get a second heart transplant, he wouldn’t betray his lover either.
True love, no doubt. Official source is NoveI★Fire.net
Gao Lian didn’t miss the sarcasm in her eyes, nor the deeper, perhaps even unnoticeable sadness to herself.
Seeing this, Gao Lian’s gaze narrowed slightly, and he flicked some ash, murmuring softly, "That’s true."
"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Shi Mei asked.
"I’m going to visit my uncle’s family, see my grandmother, and have no plans the day after," Gao Lian’s expression was intent, "Monday, I want to visit Tian’an Gate."
Shi Mei was slightly moved, "To see the flag-raising ceremony?"
Gao Lian nodded, "Together?"
"I’m thinking of climbing the Great Wall," Ye Tiao stealthily suggested, "T just texted me, saying he’s coming to Imperial City tomorrow. How about we watch the flag-raising together and then go climb the Great Wall?"
