You're cast as a villain, and you're supposed to teach the police how to solve cases?

"Zhang Cheng, why hasn't anyone called the police yet? Hurry up and find someone to call the police! The preview for the next episode has already been released. What are you waiting for? Look at these live stream numbers. Do you even have the nerve to watch?"

"Director, you were the one who told us not to interfere with the development of the case." Zhang Cheng curled his lip.

Wang Bosong paused, then said, "You need to be flexible! Are you going to wait until the body starts to rot? I don't care! Tomorrow will be the third day. If no one calls the police, you have to call the police!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Cheng spat into the receiver.

"Damn it, you're the good guy and I'm the bad guy, ugh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng's walkie-talkie rang.

"Zhang Cheng, next time you swear at someone, could you please turn off the walkie-talkie first? I heard everything!"

Zhang Cheng was startled, only then remembering that the station director also had a walkie-talkie.

"Director, I was scolding He Jiajia, not you."

He Jiajia rolled her eyes. Shouldn't I be the one insulting you?

...

Meng Yang stopped at the school gate, saw Lu Fei come out, and shouted loudly,

"Little sister, I'm here."

Lu Fei had been preoccupied all day, feeling uneasy about the thought that the corpse was right next door to her house.

Hearing Meng Yang call her name, Lu Fei's eyes lit up, and she immediately felt much more at ease. She waved and called out happily.

"Brother, you've come to pick me up."

She was genuinely happy. After just one night, she found herself becoming somewhat dependent on this older brother.

Wow, wow. Lu Fei looks so innocent in her school uniform.

When she ran, the way her ponytail swung around touched the very core of my heart.

Her smile is so beautiful, it melts my heart.

[Not only is she beautiful, but her acting is also superb. She perfectly captured the surprise and joy of a younger sister seeing her older brother. She's definitely going to be a Best Actress in a Movie or TV Series next year.]

...

"Brother! Why did you think of coming to pick me up?" Lu Fei playfully jumped to Meng Yang's side.

Meng Yang habitually ruffled her hair again.

"Come on, let's go see a movie. There's a new movie out there that's pretty good. After the movie, I'll take you to get something delicious to eat."

"Oh, I still have to go home and do my homework."

"You have homework every day. If you can't finish it when you get home, I'll do it for you."

"Yay! My brother is so nice."

Lu Fei excitedly hugged Meng Yang and jumped onto the back seat of the electric scooter.

[Damn, I wish I had a brother that good. My brother just steals my stuff, he even steals my skins.]

Come on, haven't you realized yet? This ordinary guy just wants to take this opportunity to date Lu Fei. They're going to the movies and having dinner together, and they're doing it openly.

Wow, really! This kid's using his position for personal gain.

[So, call the police and have him arrested right away! We absolutely can't let him bother my Lu Fei anymore. He even touches her head all the time; he's taking advantage of her.]

...

"Brother, what movie are we watching today? It's not going to be a horror movie, is it? I'm scared of those."

"No, it's 'Grandma's Love Letters,' an art film about cultural heritage and love, the kind you like."

"Wow! I've wanted to see this movie for ages, but I never had the chance. You're so good to me, bro."

Lu Fei herself really wanted to see this movie, which had only been released a few days ago.

I was just planning to go after recording this episode of the variety show, but I didn't expect Meng Yang to take me there now. That's really using public office for private purposes.

Because of its good reputation and high box office, "Grandma's Love Letter" has been shown in many theaters.

After parking his electric scooter, Meng Yang took off his delivery uniform, put it in the delivery box, bought the earliest showing ticket, and took Lu Fei to the cinema.

As the movie began, Lu Fei's choked sobs could soon be heard in the live stream.

"Brother, this movie is so touching."

"Grandma and Grandpa live so far apart, yet they still think of each other. It's truly enviable."

"Also, Grandma was very beautiful when she was young, and now her children are all very obedient. She is truly blessed."

"Brother, do you think I'll be this happy in the future?" Lu Fei suddenly realized something and looked up at Meng Yang.

"Silly girl." Meng Yang looked at Lu Fei gently, his eyes shining brightly in the dimly lit movie theater.

"You will be happier than her in the future. You will find a very handsome husband who is also very kind to you. Then, you will have two lovely little babies, a boy and a girl, and you will accompany them as they grow up and live a happy life."

Meng Yang's voice rang out slowly, and Lu Fei listened, somewhat lost in thought.

"Really, bro?"

She truly called him "brother" because she genuinely considered Meng Yang her brother.

[It has to be true. She's so beautiful and kind-hearted; she'll definitely be very happy in the future.]

[Lu Fei, if you marry me, I promise you'll live the happiest life in the world.]

[Get out of here, you upstairs! Don't steal my lines.]

[Get out of here, both of you. I may be broke, but I have a sincere heart. Do you have that?]

...

"Of course it's true, with your brother here."

Meng Yang smiled slightly, "Oh, I'm going to the restroom. You keep an eye on things for now."

"Yeah, brother, come back soon, or I won't have any arms to hug you when you cry later."

"Silly girl."

Meng Yang got up and walked out of the cinema.

Meng Yang disappeared from the live stream.

Without Lu Fei's camera, they had no idea where Meng Yang had gone.

Lu Fei originally thought that Meng Yang was just urinating and would be back in a few minutes.

Unexpectedly, it took Meng Yang half an hour before he finally returned to his seat, sweating profusely.

"Brother, why did you take so long? The movie is almost over."

Meng Yang looked up and saw that the male protagonist was already dead; it seemed the story was nearing its end.

"Oh, I had diarrhea, which made me a little late."

Lu Fei naturally took Meng Yang's arm.

"Bro, I told you not to always eat takeout. Bring your own food next time."

"Okay, I'll bring my own lunch starting tomorrow."

It was already 8 o'clock when the movie ended. The two of them ate a bowl of fried noodles and headed straight to the market.

"Brother, the market is about to close so late."

"It's good that it's closed; things are cheaper when it's closed."

Meng Yang led Lu Fei to a butcher shop. The owner was already packing up, and there were still some scattered pieces of meat and bones on the stall.

"What do you want to buy? That's all, I'll sell it to you cheaply." The boss was very enthusiastic to have customers so late.

"Boss, how much are these bones? Give us a discount, and I'll wrap them up for you."

Lu Fei was startled. "Brother, how can we possibly finish all this?"

"It's okay, bones are heavy but have little meat, so they're quick to eat."

"Yes, that young man is right." The boss immediately gave him a knowing look.

"I still have twenty catties of pork bones and thirty catties of beef bones here. Do you really want them all?"

"We want them all! We don't have time to come to the market every day."

"Okay, I'll give you 200 yuan. These are real big bones, they make a really fragrant soup, and they even have marrow inside. They're delicious."

As soon as Meng Yang said he wanted some, the boss immediately put all the bones into a bag.

It's already this late, and I thought we wouldn't be able to sell anything, but then this customer comes in—perfect!

[Spending 200 yuan on a pile of bones is worse than buying meat; this amateur is an idiot.]

"Brother, what do you know? Bones are much tastier than meat, and there's even a little meat on the bone—that's called bone-in meat, much tastier than lean meat."

Wow, there are even beef bones! These beef bones are amazing, lots of marrow, one sip and the flavor is absolutely incredible.

A plate of beef bones costs several tens of yuan here. This stuff is cheap, but it's too troublesome to prepare; sometimes you even need a saw.
