Chapter 152: Chapter 73: Gold Bracelet (Requesting Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets, and Favorites)_3
On the other side of the screen, Yang Mei was quite happy when she saw this message, feeling that her efforts hadn’t been in vain.
"As long as they like it, I’ll bring some more next time I visit."
While sensing her good mood, Luo Fei also felt that there was something off about this conversation.
He initially brought it up just to make her happy, but how did it seem like he was deliberately asking her for something?
"No need, kids eating too many snacks is not good for their health. You really shouldn’t bring anything next time. Today when I brought this stuff back, my mom scolded me, saying I shouldn’t let a girl spend money."
"What’s wrong with a girl spending money? Whenever we’re together, don’t you spend money on me too? Besides, as a sister-in-law, it’s only natural to buy something for my own sister!"
"Oh, sister-in-law?"
A smiley face followed the message.
After sending it out, Yang Mei took a few seconds to reply, "Am I not a sister-in-law? Or do you have other ideas?"
This was followed by an angry emoji.
Originally, Luo Fei was teasing her about calling herself a sister-in-law, but he didn’t expect to end up getting countered instead.
Even though he couldn’t see her, he could still imagine her pouting face behind the screen. He couldn’t help but laugh, quickly pleading for forgiveness.
"No, no, I don’t have any other ideas."
"Then that’s settled."
After that, the two chatted until nearly eleven o’clock, only then did they say goodnight to each other and prepared to sleep.
Yang Mei exited the chat interface with him and saw that Wu Xiaoyue had over a dozen unread messages.
Oops!
She suddenly remembered that she had been chatting with Wu Xiaoyue before, but after receiving a message from Luo Fei, she got so engrossed in the conversation that she completely forgot about Wu Xiaoyue.
She quickly opened the chat box and saw Wu Xiaoyue spamming the screen frantically.
"Why aren’t you responding, Sister Yang Mei?"
"Where are you?"
"Sister Yang Mei, did you fall asleep?"
...
She quickly typed a message, "I’m here, I’m here."
Wu Xiaoyue replied in a second, "Sister Yang Mei, you finally replied. I thought aliens had abducted you!"
"Sorry, Xiaoyue. I was chatting with Luo Fei just now, so I didn’t notice your messages."
"I figured, you went off to accompany your dear boyfriend. Deserting your friends for your boyfriend, Sister Yang Mei, I’m so disappointed in you!"
"Don’t talk nonsense, I just didn’t notice for a moment."
"Don’t explain, explanations are just cover-ups!"
"You cheeky brat, keep talking, and see how I’ll deal with you tomorrow!"
"See, I must have hit the nail on the head, that’s why you’re so annoyed."
"You keep talking..."
At the same time, after putting down his phone, Luo Fei originally intended to read for a while, but considering he had a case to handle the next day, he decided he needed to rest well and turned off the lights to sleep.
...
At six in the morning, Luo Fei woke up on time.
After a simple breakfast, he arrived at the police station at 7:05.
It was still early, and apart from Wang Lei and another officer who had the night shift, no one else had arrived yet.
After greeting them, he went to the office of team three.
Last night, Xu Mingqing’s parents had already come to identify the corpse, confirming without a doubt that it was their son.
However, to be sure, Wu Xiaoyue had still taken their blood to conduct a DNA comparison, and Wang Lei and another officer also conducted a simple inquiry to understand the details of Xu Mingqing’s situation.
Now the inquiry record had been borrowed by him. After quickly browsing through the messages, he immediately took out a pen and paper and began listing the crucial information on paper, while also rapidly analyzing the case-solving approach in his mind.
Time ticked by moment by moment, with the only sound in the office being the occasional scratch of the pen across paper, creating a pin-drop silence.
Until 7:20, Sun Jun was the first to walk into the office.
Seeing Luo Fei sitting at the desk writing and drawing, he looked surprised, "Team leader, you arrived so early?"
