As soon as Lin Mu left the City Hall, he called Qi Manlin!
"Hey, police girl, what are you up to?" Lin Mu asked with a laugh over the phone.
"What else could I be doing, I’m working. Do you have any serious business? If not, I’m hanging up," Qi Manlin snapped over the phone.
"Oh, come on, you could be nicer to me. Don’t you want to know who the real mastermind behind Zheng Haonan’s murder is?" Lin Mu teased over the phone.
"No kidding, of course I want to know. Have you found out?" Qi Manlin replied.
"Heh heh, it’s true what they say about you being all bust and no brains. It’s so simple—just investigate the transactions of Zheng Haonan’s assets and you’ll understand. Zheng Haonan had no relatives, and at the scene, you found that all the bank cards were missing from his wallet. That implies the mastermind is the one who took the money!" Lin Mu analyzed over the phone.
Lin Mu’s words suddenly enlightened Qi Manlin. Although this guy was annoying, he really had a clever mind, and she couldn’t believe she didn’t think of it herself. Such a simple matter! Just investigate the bank transaction records and everything would be clear!
Damn, why was she so stupid! Was she really what Lin Mu said—a busty airhead? Qi Manlin instinctively touched her chest. Hmm, she had to admit, it wasn’t small!
"You bastard, you were thinking about this for a while but didn’t tell me, and now I have to wait until now!" Qi Manlin vented her frustration on Lin Mu.
"Heh heh, not at all, I just thought of it recently, so I called you as soon as I did!" Lin Mu chuckled over the phone.
"Nonsense, where are you? I’m coming over so we can go to the bank together and check!" Qi Manlin cursed and asked.
"I’m at the entrance of the City Hall, not far from your police station. Come over," Lin Mu replied.
"Alright, I’ll be there soon!" Qi Manlin said and hung up.
After hanging up, Qi Manlin left the police station. As the deputy chief, she no longer needed to worry about protocols or seek approval, she could just come and go as she pleased!
About ten minutes later, Qi Manlin drove to the entrance of the City Hall. Lin Mu opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat with a smile.
"The police girl’s uniform is getting tighter, not bad, shows off the figure," Lin Mu commented.
Qi Manlin didn’t understand the implications of Lin Mu’s words before, but after being around him long enough, she naturally understood what he meant.
"You bastard, nothing good ever comes out of your mouth!" Qi Manlin punched Lin Mu.
"Oh come on, police girl, I was complimenting you, and you hit me!" Lin Mu protested.
"Compliment your sister! You think I can’t hear what you really meant?" Qi Manlin shot Lin Mu a glance.
"Uh... okay, girl, you’re too impure!"
"Get lost, stop with the nonsense, or I’ll throw you out of the car!" Qi Manlin said as she started the engine and sped off.
Seeing this, Lin Mu quickly fastened his seatbelt, remembering all too well the last time he ended up with a head injury because of a crash. He had a bit of apprehension towards the wild police girl!
"Ha, you know to fasten the seatbelt now!"
"Of course, I’m a law-abiding citizen. Anyone in the passenger seat must wear a seatbelt. Didn’t you learn that in driving school?" Lin Mu retorted annoyingly.
"Lin Mu, do you know what I feel like doing right now?" Qi Manlin suddenly asked.
"What? What do you want to do?" Lin Mu furrowed his brow, feeling an ominous premonition.
"The thing I most want to do is..." Qi Manlin said as she reached over and pinched Lin Mu’s thigh, "slap you!"
Lin Mu sucked in a breath, feeling a sharp pain in his side as he hurriedly rubbed his waist. This woman was really ruthless! Now knowing that fists didn’t work, she went straight for the softest part of his body. Women are indeed dangerous creatures! Women can be such tigers! Women are just damn vicious...
"Police girl, could you act like a lady for once? This wild behavior might scare away potential husbands!"
Lin Mu looked agonized at Qi Manlin. She was quite a beauty after all! If she were a bit quieter, she could be a beloved goddess! But this wicked nature is totally at odds with her appearance!
"Hmph, do I need to pretend to be a lady around you?" Qi Manlin scoffed disdainfully.
"Come on, what does that mean? Are you saying I can’t appreciate you with a man’s perspective? Is this blatant disdain for me?"
"What blatant disdain!" Qi Manlin raged, "Hmph, at least you know yourself. I don’t need to say more to save your dignity!"
"Uh... fine, you win..." Lin Mu was left speechless.
Qi Manlin quickly drove to the bank entrance. After parking the car, Lin Mu followed Qi Manlin out and the two entered the bank to check the transfer records by accessing the relevant information.
Since Qi Manlin was wearing her police uniform, as soon as they entered the lobby, a receptionist approached them.
"Hello, do you need any assistance?"
A woman in professional attire elegantly walked over and politely asked.
Qi Manlin showed her badge and said to the receptionist, "Hi, I’m from the Wancheng Police Station. I’m here to investigate some documents; please inform your manager!"
The receptionist glanced at Qi Manlin and nodded, "Okay, please wait a moment, I’ll get the manager!"
The receptionist said, turned around, and left. After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit came over with a professional smile.
"Hello, I’m Manager Chen from the bank. How can I assist you?" Manager Chen greeted Qi Manlin and Lin Mu warmly, shaking their hands.
"Hello, Manager Chen. We’re here to investigate some transaction records related to a case. We hope you can cooperate with us!" Qi Manlin also responded politely.
"No problem, assisting you with the case investigation is our duty!" Manager Chen nodded.
Then Qi Manlin explained Zheng Haonan’s case to Manager Chen, who immediately retrieved the transfer information. Sure enough, on the night of the 8th, money from Zheng Haonan’s account had been transferred to a woman named Purple Clothes, amounting to about fifty million. It was transferred in several batches to Purple Clothes’ multiple cards!
Qi Manlin was even more confused. Who is this Purple Clothes woman?
After leaving the bank and getting back to the car, Qi Manlin frowned and asked Lin Mu quizzically,
"Who is Purple Clothes?"
At this point, only Lin Mu could guess who Purple Clothes was. She might be the mysterious woman who had been targeting him. Lin Mu took out the list of auction attendees and searched through it. Sure enough, there was a woman named Purple Clothes.
