My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

Lu Zhao was still a little curious, "Wen, since you're only studying here, why don't you apply for on-campus accommodation? Or you could just rent a place nearby."

For the average person, there's no real value in school district housing near universities, so it's unnecessary to buy a house nearby just to study for four years.

Wenruo just smiled sheepishly, "I happen to have some cash on hand. Anyway, buying a house now is a sure thing, so why not buy one now and sell it in four years?"

Another blow struck Lu Zhao's heart.

She chuckled and quickly took a sip of water to ease her embarrassment.

“By the way,” Lin Yu suddenly said, “Is that Chen Shang the important figure in the A-level mission you handled before?”

Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out why Lin Yu knew about her mission, she heard him explain: "A-level missions are rare. They often require the entire Spirit Management Bureau to work together to complete them. Apart from those employees on long-term leave, I think most people in the bureau know that you are currently handling an A-level mission."

It turned out to be like this...

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and forced a smile. "Well, Chen Shang doesn't seem to have any problems. He seemed to be doing things quite easily. It wasn't that difficult at all."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Wen Ruo's confused voice rang out beside her: "Chen Shang? The salesperson who was in charge of receiving me wasn't that name. She was a girl named Chen Le."

Lu Zhao's expression changed, and he abruptly stood up, staring intently at her. "Are you sure?"

Wenruo was startled and nodded somewhat timidly: "Yes, I remember it clearly, because her work badge was on her chest at the time, and we even went for coffee together after we looked at the house."

"Tell me everything about what you did with that person, including when and where!" She asked without thinking, her hands resting on the table.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yu stood up unhappily, blocking Wen Ruo's way. "Xiao Ruo isn't your target. Don't talk to her like that."

Seeing her clearly dissatisfied expression, Lu Zhao subconsciously clenched his fist, but quickly relaxed it again, replying stiffly, "I know."

As she spoke, she looked at Wenruo, who was clearly frightened by her, pursed her lips slightly, and softened her voice: "I'm sorry, I scared you in a moment of impulse. Could you please tell me the details of your time with Chen Le?"

“Okay…” Wen Ruo tugged at Lin Yu, pulling her behind her before answering timidly, “But I don’t remember too many of the specific details. How about I write them down so you can keep a record?”

Ah, the female lead is such an angel!

She nodded immediately, and as she watched Wenruo go into the bedroom to get paper and pen, she noticed that Lin Yu was no longer relaxed as before, and her face was even a little gloomy.

This emotion was clearly directed at her.

Chapter 105 Coincidence?

In fact, Lu Zhao herself was a little regretful. Her attitude just now was indeed a bit too excited. No matter how anxious she was, she should have been polite when facing a stranger she was meeting for the first time.

Although the female lead, being such a kind angel, chose to let it go, it was clear that Lin Yu, her friend, was not so forgiving.

To be honest, she didn't know what kind of conflict had occurred between the original owner and Lin Yu that led to the two friends, who used to be very close, becoming like this now.

But at least for now, knowing that the original owner will not return, the heroine has appeared, which means the game is about to begin. At this juncture, she actually hopes to build good relationships with every romanceable character rather than maintaining the original owner's existing interpersonal relationships.

After having an in-depth conversation with Bai Yan, some of her initial beliefs about the time traveler began to gradually change.

So... is now a good point to break the ice?

She hesitated for a moment and then secretly glanced at Lin Yu, only to find that he was staring at her intently, making her scalp tingle.

This is definitely not just because of her bad attitude towards her friend today. Maybe it's because of today's incident that Lin Yu was reminded of some past events between her and the original owner of this body?

Lu Zhao thought about it more and more and felt that this guess was very likely. He wanted to go up and apologize to her again, but he was afraid that Lin Yu would bring up the past and he would not be able to handle it.

Why does she always find herself in this dilemma of difficult choices when facing Lin Yu?!

Unable to contain his inner rage, Lu Zhao silently patted himself on the back, preparing to muster the courage to step forward for the future, when he heard Wen Ruo's voice coming from the bedroom:

"Ms. Lu, I'm sorry, I've written something here. Could you please see if there's anything I need to add?"

Lu Zhao stopped in time, turned around and looked in the direction of the bedroom, unsure whether he should go that way.

Speaking of which... isn't it a bit inappropriate to go into someone's bedroom on the first meeting?

"Hey," Lin Yu said first, before she could finish her thought, "Xiao Ruo is calling you in, what are you standing there for?"

Why are you being so fierce?

Sighing inwardly with a hint of exasperation, Lu Zhao could only drag his heavy steps inside.

The hotel rooms were all pretty much the same, with nothing particularly interesting to see. All her personal clothing had already been put away, so she was lucky enough not to see anything.

"Miss Lu, come here quickly!" Wen Ruo, who was still bent over her desk, waved to her warmly as soon as she saw her coming. "Take a look and see if there are any omissions in this writing."

Lu Zhao perked up, walked over, picked up the paper, and began to read it carefully.

Yesterday afternoon at 3 pm, Wenruo went to the sales office of Shiyue Jingyuan and was received by a female salesperson named Chen Le. She looked at several houses that were shortlisted. Afterwards, she went for coffee with this salesperson Chen and the two discussed a lot of knowledge about decorating the new house.

After that, Wenruo said she needed to think about which house to buy, and Chen Le sent her back to the hotel before dinner. She never saw him again.

Around 11 a.m. this morning, she made up her mind to buy one of the houses and called the number, only to find that the other party did not answer the phone.

Then, right after lunch, she met with her junior high school classmate, Lin Yu.

The entire timeline is written very clearly, including a detailed record of how many times Chen Le went to the bathroom during the house viewing process.

Lu Zhao couldn't help but sigh. This girl truly deserves to be called a top student. Her memory is already so strong even before her spiritual power has been awakened. Who knows how far she will grow after she awakens her learning-type spiritual power?

However, they dug Chen Shang out around 10 a.m. After that, they controlled Chen Shang's phone, recording every call or message that came in.

However, Wenruo's name was not recorded in Chen Shang's phone records, so the salesperson Wenruo met was indeed Chen Le, not Chen Shang.

However, Chen himself said that he did not remember his client's specific name, only that the surname was Wen. So it is possible that the two salesmen with the surname Chen received two people with the surname Wen at different times on the same day.

However… the keywords—surname Wen, heir to a huge fortune, studying alone, female college student, and all living on Shangyan Road—are too coincidental, making Lu Zhao suspect that Chen Shang might have included Wen Ruo in his fabricated lie after seeing his colleague receive Wen Ruo.

But this guy doesn't seem like a brainless person; he couldn't possibly not know that such a thing would be discovered with just a little investigation.

And if Chen Shang was really lying, then why was he buried in the land near the textile factory?

The location is at least a 15-minute drive from the residential area where the crime occurred. If the perpetrator had fled there after the murder and buried himself there, then the roommate of the deceased, Xing Yu, would not have been able to run into Chen Shang when he returned home.

For some reason, Lu Zhao always felt that something was missing from the puzzle of this incident, yet it also seemed like there was an extra piece.

"Miss Lu? Miss Lu?"

Wen Ruo's probing voice brought her back to her senses. Lu Zhao paused for half a second before smiling at her, "Your handwriting is quite good!"

Indeed, the female lead's handwriting is as delicate as she is, much better than the original owner's scrawled handwriting.

"Hmm?" Wenruo tilted her head, a little confused by her thought process, and carefully repeated, "Is there anything I've missed that you need me to add?"

Lu Zhao quickly shook his head, then folded the paper and put it in his bag: "No, no, you've written it in great detail. Thank you so much for your cooperation!"

Hearing her say that, Wenruo breathed a sigh of relief. "I heard Lin Yu say that you are a very gentle person, and now that I see it, it is indeed true."

Eh?

Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment.

Would Lin Yu really say she's very gentle?

This doesn't seem like Lin Yu's character at all.

Could it be that the female lead just made it up to ease the tension and appease her?

“You know what,” Wenruo’s voice continued with a smile, “she said that you always think of others, no matter what. Isn’t that kind of gentleness?”

Um... both the original owner and she did indeed like to meddle in other people's business.

Lu Zhao paused for a second, thinking that the female lead must be too innocent and misinterpreted Lin Yu's complaints about her meddlesome nature as gentleness.

Waaaaah, as expected of the female lead, she's such an angel!

Although he still wanted to continue contacting the other party, considering that he still had a mission to complete, Lu Zhao only exchanged contact information with Wen Ruo before preparing to leave with the new clues in his heart.

Chapter 106 The Second Spirit Clan

Seeing Lu Zhao rush out, Lin Yu stood up abruptly, glanced at her with his dark eyes, and then shifted his gaze to Wen Ruo behind her. "Xiao Ruo, are you done so quickly?"

Lu Zhao, who was ignored: Never mind, I'll tolerate her this time.

Wen Ruo smiled gently: "Miss Lu still has some things to take care of. We'll leave now that we've finished talking."

"You're leaving?" Lin Yu finally turned his gaze to her. "Is there something wrong with the mission?"

"...Hmm, there's a small problem. I'll go take a look."

For some reason, Lu Zhao always felt that there was an emotion in Lin Yu's eyes when she looked at her that she couldn't quite understand. If she wasn't mistaken, it was probably... conflicted?

Just as she was trying to meet Lin Yu's gaze, hoping to glean some emotion from her subtle expressions, the other woman turned her head away abruptly. "Okay, you go ahead. I'll take Xiao Ruo to get something to eat."

Ha, they probably just want her to leave.

Lu Zhao was speechless for a moment, so he turned around and exchanged some polite words with Wen Ruo before walking to the door to change his shoes. He then called out to the door, "I'm leaving now."

Only Wen Ruo came out with a smile to see her off: "Miss Lu, take care. Let's meet again next time."

Don't worry, next time I'll definitely bring you to the Department of Neighborhood Affairs!

She nodded, and seeing that Lin Yu hadn't come out yet, she didn't bother to wait any longer. She nodded to the female lead, opened the door, and left.

Hearing the door slam shut, Lin Yu, who had been sitting on the sofa, slowly walked to the entryway, her eyes indifferent as she looked at the door. "Gone?"

"Hmm!" Wenruo nodded, then gently patted her arm. "Honestly, Miss Lu is here as a guest, why do you always have such a sullen face? I heard you two had a very good relationship!"

She was silent for a moment before speaking: "It's nothing, we just had a little argument before."

"If you have a conflict, just resolve it properly. Aren't you good friends?" Wenruo pulled her back to sit on the sofa. With no strangers around, she seemed particularly relaxed, even kicking off her slippers, her fair feet swinging casually in the air.

Lin Yu subconsciously clenched her fist, but quickly let it go again. "Let's not talk about this. You haven't had lunch yet, have you? What do you want to eat?"

Wenruo frowned slightly, seeing that she was still unwilling to bring up the topic, she sighed softly in her heart, but on the surface she raised her hand excitedly: "I want to eat Haidilao!"

"Let's go! It's on me!"

"Great!"

……

Even as she reached the hotel entrance, Lu Zhao was still somewhat dazed. She glanced back at the chain hotel, thought for a moment, and then casually memorized the address.

To investigate Chen Le's matter, we need to go to the real estate company where he works.

She was about to start the vehicle and rush over when her phone rang. The caller ID showed the name Song Lingge.

"Hello?" she answered the phone.

Song Lingge's voice on the other end of the phone sounded less composed than usual. "Captain, I just went to the police station and met with the deceased Xing Yu's roommate. She wasn't carrying any psionic shielding devices, and she wasn't a spirit race!"
