An office in an office building.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, the middle-aged sheriff closed his notebook and nodded. "I have a general understanding of the matter. Thank you both for your hard work."

He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was far from peaceful. He hadn't expected that all the strange rumors circulating over the past year were actually true.

Xie Chong waved his hand, "It's nothing, you guys are the ones who have to work hard."

After cooperating with the police department, the follow-up work will be much easier, especially in densely populated places like schools, and he will no longer have to go through the trouble of writing reports.

"Also, I need your help to cover up his situation."

As he spoke, he patted Shen Qing on the shoulder.

"I understand." The middle-aged sheriff nodded, looked at Shen Qing, and extended his hand. "Wang Yu. Young man, your marksmanship is quite accurate."

"Shen Qing, thank you for the compliment."

As he spoke, Shen Qing also extended his hand.

The middle-aged sheriff's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly the moment their hands clasped.

Having a military background, he subconsciously wanted to test Shen Qing's strength, but what he held seemed not to be a hand made of flesh, but a piece of warm steel, which remained completely still.

The middle-aged police officer released his grip without changing his expression.

No wonder a student could become a member of a special department and even solve unusual missions all by himself.

Not only did he remain calm throughout, but his marksmanship was also remarkable; all three shots hit his heart from behind, even while he was moving.

Even within the military, this level of skill is outstanding.

If it weren't for the other person's status—which would mean a deputy section chief position after promotion—he would have already considered poaching them.

……

The commotion over the office building quickly subsided.

The cordon was dismantled around 1 p.m., and when the police officers left, several police cars carrying Wu Yuan's body left without attracting any attention.

Although the news had already spread in the student group.

"Have you heard? A murderer died over at the office building."

"I heard someone hanged themselves?"

The version of events kept getting more and more outrageous. Chen Chen sat at the entrance of the office building looking at his phone, but Shen Qing still hadn't replied to his message.

"Assisting in solving the case? Reward?"

He muttered to himself, thinking about what the middle-aged sheriff had said earlier, and the relationship between Shen Qing and the "professional" who arrived later. His mind was a bit of a mess.

A figure suddenly blocked out the light in front of him.

Chen Chen raised his head, squinted, and in the backlight, Shen Qing's smiling face looked no different from usual.

He paused for two seconds, then asked suspiciously, "Didn't someone say they lost their meal card in the building? Why are they running towards the back of the office building?"

"You saw it?"

Shen Qing remained calm, after all, so many people had seen him come out with Xie Chong, and there was no point in denying it.

He spread his hands and casually made up an excuse, saying, "Then it seems I have no choice but to tell you the truth."

Didn't I mention smelling something foul before? I noticed that murderer was dressed so conservatively in May, so I impulsively followed him out of curiosity.

"I'm just restless, a bit too active, you know that."

"But who could have guessed that a murderer could infiltrate the school?" Shen Qing added.

"Really?" Chen Chen still looked doubtful.

"Of course it's true."

Shen Qing sat down next to him, draped her arm over him, and changed the subject with a smug tone:

"But buddy, aren't you awesome? You helped catch the criminal. The police will be coming to commend you later."

As he spoke, he suddenly became somewhat regretful, "It's a pity that it involves the school's reputation, as they don't give us the opportunity for public commendation here."

"Tell me, what a great opportunity to show off in front of everyone!"

"Tch, showing off."

Chen Chen pursed his lips and didn't ask any further. Shen Qing must have her reasons for not telling him.

Moreover, he had a rough idea that Shen Qing was in cahoots with that "professional," and that delivering food was just a cover.

Some say it was to assist in the arrest of criminals, but the "professionals" were only inside for five minutes, and there was no further news.

I'm afraid Shen Qing solved it himself, right?

Chen Chen shook his head, quickly suppressing the somewhat overly stimulating thoughts in his mind, and stood up to brush the dust off his pants.

"Then hurry up and treat us. I'm worried because we haven't even had lunch yet."

This is the truth.

Although it turned out that my worries were unfounded.

My roommate, with whom I've lived for four years, attended classes together, played games together, and occasionally skipped classes, suddenly became someone who's not so simple, and is suspected of being a member of some special department.

Damn, it's like reading a novel, I'm getting a little excited.

"Okay, it's my treat," Shen Qing readily agreed.

As the two were heading towards the school gates, they ran into Zhou Ming coming out of the office building.

However, he looked unwell, somewhat pale. It wasn't really his fault, but since he had some connection with Wu Yuan, he was interrogated separately.

"Advisor."

The two greeted each other normally. Normally, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, but Zhou Ming was startled.

He looked at Shen Qing, and his whole body visibly trembled.

Putting aside the fact that he had tried every means to sever ties with Shen Qing, Shen Qing ended up receiving a commendation from the Public Security Bureau—after severing ties, he, as the counselor, had no connection whatsoever.

This made Zhou Ming feel very awkward.

Before the interrogation, he even saw Shen Qing talking to that "professional" through the window, a scene that would take him a long time to process.

It wasn't about asking questions, but about relaxed, equal communication. But wasn't he, a student, delivering food?

And then there's Wu Yuan, how did a young entrepreneur become a murderer?

How did their identities suddenly reverse?

His only consolation now is that he didn't make things too difficult for the other party because of the employment agreement, even though his attitude was somewhat arrogant.

"Delivering food is good, so why is there no future in delivering food?" Zhou Ming's voice was hoarse. "Teacher... I apologize for what happened before."

After saying that, he practically fled.

"What's wrong with him?"

Watching Zhou Ming's disheveled departure, Chen Chen casually asked.

Shen Qing shook her head. "Who knows?"

Deleting memories would normally be the easiest solution, but this time too many people were involved, and ordinary people didn't realize it was a supernatural event, so it just ended like this.

"By the way, when are you free?" Chen Chen suddenly asked.

"What's wrong?"

"We're graduating soon, and we might not see each other again for a long time, so our dorm leader and the others want to have one last get-together. They're all free these days, so it's up to you."

"A party?" Shen Qing thought for a moment. "Tomorrow is fine."

Weekend patrols are conducted in shifts, and patrols are allowed a day off if there are no missions.

"But why haven't I received any news?"

Shen Qing opened her phone and found the group chat called "Single Dog Club".

The four of them in the dorm have always had a good relationship, and they would naturally not refuse to have a get-together, but there was absolutely no news in the dorm group chat.

"Forehead……"

Chen Chen scratched his face, his eyes darting around, and said awkwardly, "I was just worried you wouldn't go. We both have to submit employment agreements, so I came directly to ask you."

"The dorm leader's girlfriend will be there for the dinner, along with her friend, you know, the one..."

Chen Chen didn't continue.

Shen Qing understood.

"You mean Gu Jingshi?"

He said calmly, "Go ahead and go. What's there to be embarrassed about? We broke up normally, and we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other."

In my mind, a girl with flamboyant red hair appeared.

Gu Jingshi, his ex-girlfriend, his dormitory head's girlfriend, and he were all high school classmates.

"I'm glad you don't mind."

Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them seemed to be doing well at first, but then they suddenly broke up abruptly.

They were still confused about the situation, but since Shen Qing wouldn't say, they didn't feel comfortable asking.

"However, having two traitors like you in one dormitory is a disgrace to my club's reputation!"

The two playfully walked out of the school gate, grabbed a bite to eat outside, and then parted ways.

"Remember, see you at the University Town Commercial Street tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."
