Looking at his enthusiastic old colleague, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but recall that last year, on his first day at work in the Anbu, it was this bald brother who was the first to stand up and warmly welcome him.

"Hello, my name is Ying, I am your replacement, the new member of the third team, the 11th team of the Anbu."

At first, the man Sasuke met nervously introduced himself.

Uchiha Sasuke was most afraid of this kind of scene. He just nodded to the other party uncomfortably, doing his best to avoid making the other party feel ignored.

Of course, this is rarely achieved successfully.

"Come to think of it, how did you know we would be here at night?"

Linjiao greeted Sasuke familiarly and even raised his arm as if he wanted to hook it around Sasuke's shoulders.

Now, the great achievements made by Uchiha Sasuke have made him extremely respected in front of these newcomers.

From time to time, young juniors would pester him and ask him to tell them about the days when he worked with Uchiha Sasuke.

At first, Linjiao was a little embarrassed, but over time, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he and Sasuke were once good friends.

At the moment, Sasuke was somewhat uncomfortable with the other party's exaggerated intimacy.

He calmly dodged the other person's arm, patted Lin Jiao's arm, smiled awkwardly, and answered:

"Ah, I have some personal matters to discuss. I want to ask Senior Xiyan for advice."

"Hmm? Of course, of course."

Hearing what Sasuke said, Linjiao quickly and tactfully moved away.

Not far away, Mao Yue Xi Yan, who had also noticed the movement here, had already stood up.

She just stood there reservedly, staring at Sasuke curiously, not daring to get too close.

"Senior Xiyan!"

After seeing the familiar face, Uchiha Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled, strode up to Uzuki Yugao, and said:

"Do you have time now? There is a case here and I would like to hear your opinion."

Uzuki Yugao was stunned at first, but after she understood Sasuke's intention, she quickly returned to her professional state.

She hesitated and asked:

"What case is it? Does the squad leader know anything about this matter?"

“I am coming to you for help as a personal friend.

“This case has not yet been reported to any party.”

Uchiha Sasuke said frankly.

Uzuki Yugao stared at Uchiha Sasuke with a little doubt.

But after a moment, she nodded neatly and said:

"follow me."

Then, he took the lead and walked towards the meeting room nearby.

The past battles side by side have already given Xi Yan the most basic trust in Sasuke.

The other party has clearly stated that it is "help between friends."

Well, since we are friends, we should have some sense of brotherhood.

After closing the door, Uchiha Sasuke was not polite at all.

He immediately told Mao Yue Xi Yan everything, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

As Sasuke spoke, Uzuki Yugao's already very cold face became even more frowned.

"What do you think?"

After finishing the story, Uchiha Sasuke went to the side to get himself a glass of water as if he was familiar with the situation, and turned his head to ask Uzuki Yugao for her opinion.

"So, what did the monkey say?"

After pondering for a while, Mao Yue Xi Yan did not give a direct answer, but asked about other things.

To be honest, Xiyan considers herself to be quite experienced in handling cases.

But ever since she experienced the old monkey's methods last time, she has been a little unconfident.

Looking back, compared with the other party's drastic planning, my own detective ability is really not worth mentioning.

"I haven't asked him yet."

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and answered seriously:

“Break it, maybe it’s stronger.

"But I think you are better at analyzing the details."

Mao Yue Xi Yan was stunned at first, but soon she felt a warm emotion rising in her heart.

The other party was obviously just a junior, but for some reason, the affirmation from Uchiha Sasuke made her feel somewhat honored.

"Okay, in that case, I'll give it a try."

After regaining her confidence, Mao Yue Yugao quickly entered a professional working state.

She was seen frowning, thinking about all the information about Sasuke, and her slender fingers were tapping lightly on the clock on the table beside her.

After a while, Uzuki Yugao finally came back to her senses, looked at Uchiha Sasuke, and said:

“Something must be wrong with Neji, don’t dwell on this anymore.

“If, in this matter, we guessed wrong, then the worst that can happen is that our efforts have been wasted.

"But if something really happened to Neji and we thought he was fine, the consequences would be disastrous."

Just a few words instantly woke Uchiha Sasuke up.

In my ears, I only heard Mao Yue Xi Yan continue to say:

"Don't put too much energy into the trap of pursuing perfection.

“In the inference stage, bold assumptions are important.”

"Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded in acceptance, looking forward to Uzuki Yugao's subsequent analysis.

"According to the clues and the worst possible scenario, Neji has been impersonated since May 16th."

Mao Yue Xi Yan said calmly:

"So, this fake Neji deliberately avoided people who might notice something was wrong with him, and then took the initiative to contact the two idiots, leaving behind obvious clues of 'falling in love with someone else'.

"During this process, several of his peers, such as Akimichi Chouji, 'happened' to see him.

"What could his purpose be?"

Mao Yue Xi Yan paused, slowly gave her opinion, and said:

"They want to buy themselves some time."

"who are they?"

Uchiha Sasuke's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask.

Mao Yue Xi Yan shrugged, shook her head and said:

"That is something I have no way of knowing."

After a pause, Xi Yan asked again:

"As for that nurse Eri, in my opinion, she is just a 'prop' that Neji found at random.

"The purpose is to interfere with your judgment and make you believe that he is just infatuated with someone else.

"But why do you say that you feel that the girl is not right?"

“I, actually, can’t really tell.”

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head. In front of his former boss, he always felt that this way of judgment was a little too unprofessional.

“Trust your instincts.”

Mao Yue Xi Yan nodded, encouragingly.

After a pause, Xi Yan continued:

“But when it comes to intuition, we need to continue to refine it.

“Sometimes, the abrupt details have actually been grasped by your intuition. It’s just that your consciousness has not yet noticed it.

"What we have to do is to recall it over and over again"

Mao Yue Xi Yan said patiently and kindly:

"Now. Tell me, when did you start to feel something was wrong?"

Uchiha Sasuke closed his eyes and recalled the scene at that time according to what Uzuki Yugao said, further breaking down his feelings at that time.

Was it when we first met in the ward?

Or, at the stairs, when I saw the girl for the second time.

Or, after revealing his identity as an Anbu?

Uchiha Sasuke recalled carefully, repeating his feelings inch by inch.

Sure enough, after continuous analysis, I could tell that I had just had a vague feeling that something was wrong with that guy named Eri.

After the split, there was finally a further definite positioning.

He found that when they first met, he didn't notice anything unusual about the girl Eri.

If, if we must identify a watershed time point.

Then, I am afraid that it is during the process when the other party begins to confess his testimony to himself.

However, aren’t those just some romantic gossip?

Is there really intelligence hidden in it?
