“Team Leader, in that case...” Cui Lizhu frowned and said, “Let’s go back to the hospital first.”

“Yes...” Officer Wang said.

He then asked, “Now that we have found the real murderer, we don’t have to go to the crime scene, do we?”

“And...” Cui Lizhu then pointed to Ma Laodan and Song Meili and said, “Those two people have heard what we said, so it’s better that we detain them now!”

Song Meili clearly disliked Cui Lizhu, and she asked her angrily, “What do you mean? Do you think that we actually care about what you just said? Your case is none of our business, okay? Don’t look down on us, little miss policewoman.”

“Stop...” Ma Laodan knew about Zhao Yu’s bad temper, so he quickly stopped Song Meili.

He then said, “Leader Zhao, don’t listen to Cui Lizhu. We didn’t hear anything just now. Even if we had, we couldn’t understand what you are even talking about. Besides, after what happened in Jinping, I suppose we are friends now. So, let’s just forget about all of this, alright?”

“Ha ha...” Unexpectedly, after more than 10 minutes of silence, Zhao Yu pouted his lips and burst out laughing, which seemed to have a complicated meaning behind it.

“Ma Laodan, I haven’t seen you for a long time. What a great day today!” Zhao Yu then pointed to his head and asked, “How is that wound? Do you need to go to the hospital right now?”

“No! This is not a big deal. I’d like to have a drink with you now instead.” When Ma Laodan saw Zhao Yu laughing, he quickly shook off Song Meili’s hands and grabbed a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao, which he poured Zhao Yu a glass of.

“Are you out of your mind?” Cui Lizhu asked as she reached out and knocked the bottle over.

She then yelled at Ma Laodan, “Don’t you see that our leader has just had an operation? He can’t drink!”

“Alright, Cui... Don’t be so rude!” Zhao Yu waved his hand at Cui Lizhu, then said to Ma Laodan, “Laodan, when did the two of you come to Yaoming? Also, what are you doing here?”

Ma Laodan drank his drink alone, then sat down on the chair and said, “The world changes so fast! Since we said goodbye to each other in Jinping, things have changed so much!”

At Zhao Yu’s suggestion, Cui Lizhu and Officer Wang also sat down and they finally moved into a less intense conversation.

Ma Laodan then said sadly, “After the pharmaceutical factory murder, my father was still in custody. Although he was not sentenced to death, he still couldn’t leave that place. My wonderful season also ended. Almost overnight, I lost everything and owed a bunch of debts. So, I can’t stay in Jinping any longer.”

Ma Laodan then added, “But... You never know what will happen next in life, and I soon found my silver lining! I found my dream career and the love of my life!”

As he spoke, Ma Laodan looked at Song Meili affectionately. He then said sweetly, “It was not serious at the beginning, but when I got involved in that He Sheng Credit kidnapping, and we were naked in front of so many people... Oh! Officer Zhao, speaking of that, we really should thank you! Not only did you save our lives, but you brought us the opportunity to become famous!”

Not waiting for a reply, Ma Laodan continued, “It was all destined! Looking back on it now, I feel that I seemed to have some foresight. At that time, I said to Meili that even though we looked disgraceful, we would surely become popular, especially because of Meili’s perfect body!”

Ma Laodan then winked at Song Meili affectionately, then Song Meili blew him a kiss in return. Ma Laodan then said, “Guess what? I really got it right! As long as you are willing to do something, there will be unexpected gains.”

Ma Laodan then placed his hands on Song Meili’s beautiful shoulders and said, “The next day, many advertising, film, and television companies called her and wanted to talk about contracts.”

He smiled, then said, “By the time I left the hospital, she was already so popular! Then, I took the opportunity and became her agent. Since then, Meili has already played roles in several mainstream online dramas! This is why we came... We are here for an audition!”

Ma Laodan then added, “There’s a new film and television studio in Haidu. Tomorrow, we’ll go there for an audition...”

Ma Laodan then pointed to a stack of scripts on a nearby table and said, “She is trying out for the leading actress!”

Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, then he finally understood that the weird dialogue that he had overhead just a few moments ago had been them rehearsing characters’ lines!

“Wow... A thief has turned into an agent?” Cui Lizhu satirized coldly. “You’re not shooting without your clothes on, are you?”

“Hey! What did you just say? I’ve tolerated you for long enough! Look at his bleeding head...” Song Meili was so angry that she felt like was wanted to fight Cui Lizhu!

“Cui Lizhu, don’t be jealous!” Ma Laodan, while holding Song Meili back, pointed to the scripts on the table and asked, “Have you heard of Lady Magic? It’s the big director Afeng’s new work! It has a budget of 200 million, which means it is a very big production! Meili is set to be the leading actress! By the way, do you know who the leading actor is? I’m afraid his name will scare you...”

Oh... Lady Magic. No wonder there were so many references to magic in her lines just now. Zhao Yu thought. But... In that case, what does today’s side adventure mean? It shouldn’t be just about meeting Ma Laodan...

Thinking back to the beginning of the side adventure, Zhao Yu remembered that Ma Laodan and Song Meili were practicing their lines, and no other things had happened. Zhao Yu could not think of anything at the moment. This was because of the Devil Case, as his brain was now in a state of complete chaos and confusion!

Although they had made a breakthrough in the Devil Case, he still doubted some things. In the Devil case, there must be some other secrets... Zhao Yu closed his eyes and quickly went through what had happened recently.

He then calmed down a little as he thought... Now, there’s no use in rushing. I have to wait for the test results before I make any plans.

Zhao Yu looked at Ma Laodan and said, “China is so big, so the fact that we met here is a good thing. Since I can’t drink, let’s have some food and chat. I’m hungry anyway!”

“Ha ha... That sounds great!” Ma Laodan was delighted to hear this, and he cleared the table and poured some tea for everyone.

Officer Wang asked the waiter to cancel his order so that all of them could sit in the private room and eat together. Although Cui Lizhu was not happy with this, she did not dare to say no to Zhao Yu, so she just quietly sat down.

Next, Officer Wang asked for a first aid kit from the restaurant, which he used to help Ma Laodan deal with the wound that was on his head.

Fortunately, although the bottle had broken when it hit his head, his wound was not too serious. So, simply washing the wound and stopping the bleeding was enough, and he didn’t need any stitches.

Before long, the waiter served them several luxurious dishes, and they temporarily put aside their disputes and enjoyed the food in peace. As they ate, Ma Laodan was quite the talker.

In fact, he totally forgot about his injury and never stopped talking! He told them what happened to him after he became an agent, as well as what famous stars he had seen when Song Meili was filming.

Although Ma Laodan talked nonstop, he never mentioned anything related to the case, nor did he ever ask about Zhao Yu’s foot injury. This revealed that he was a very smart person.

In fact, apart from what had happened in the past, Zhao Yu’s impression of Ma Laodan was quite good. Although Ma Laodan was sly, he was not a bad guy. Also, in the Hasty Murder Case, he did help Zhao Yu a lot, even at the risk of his own life.

In fact, if Zhao Yu hadn’t saved him with an Invisible Hemostat, he wouldn’t have survived! Therefore, Zhao Yu didn’t have any doubts about Ma Laodan. So, judging from this point of view, the purpose of the side adventure might not be about this couple at all!

Just like the Yongjin Island lighthouse in the Yongjin Island case, the purpose of the side adventure was to make Zhao Yu notice the lighthouse. It was not about what had happened to him.

So, what about today? Zhao Yu tried hard to recall what had happened today, and he soon remembered that just when the side adventure had started, Ma Laodan and Song Meili were practicing lines. At that time, Song Meili had mentioned something that had attracted his attention.

True is false and false is true... Thinking about this particular line that she had read, Zhao Yu asked Ma Laodan for the script.

There, placed in a prominent position, he saw this sentence in the script and thought... So, this sentence must be what the system wants me to pay attention to...
