Zhou Hanyu saw that the one who came in was a beautiful police officer and looked suspiciously at Yang Yan:

"What did you do? The police have come all the way here."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean what did I do? I haven't done anything wrong; I also don't know why she's here."

Yang Yan said angrily.

To be honest, he really couldn't handle this quirky little girl, Zhou Hanyu.

"Mr. Yang hasn't done anything wrong, I just need his help with something."

Xia Bing quickly said.

"Did you hear that? She needs my help, I am a law-abiding good citizen. If I wanted to, I'd have won the Good Citizen Award of East Sea City this year."

Yang Yan puffed out his chest and said.

"Alright, stop being cocky, why don't you go and get some utensils for her, so rude!"

Zhou Hanyu said, curling her lips.

"Hmm?"

Yang Yan originally wanted to protest, but with Xia Bing on the side, he thought better of it and went obediently to get the utensils.

"Thank you, no need, I really can't eat. I'll wait for you to finish eating, then I have something to discuss with you."

Xia Bing sat down in the living room after speaking.

"Hey! What does she want with you? You still haven't cleared up that thing with that guy called Wuyan last time, and now a policewoman comes, Handsome Yang, you have quite the luck with women!"

Zhou Hanyu said with a fake smile.

At least the little girl knew to lower her voice a bit.

"How should I know what she wants with me? I haven't even met her that many times, okay? I don't even know how she found out I was here."

Yang Yan gave Zhou Hanyu a look and changed the topic.

"Alright, hurry up and eat, she's waiting in the living room! It's very impolite to make someone wait like this. If I were you, with a beautiful police officer waiting by the side, why would I still eat?"

After speaking, Zhou Hanyu, along with Cai'Er and Ruyi, devoured their food voraciously.

Nine Treasures lay on the ground pitifully, watching the three fighting over food.

In the end, Cai'Er didn't forget about it and gave it several pieces of ribs.

Nine Treasures whimpered gratefully, devoured them quickly.

Yang Yan looked at the table full of dishes, which in an instant became leftovers, and really didn't know what to say.

Ruyi and Cai'Er didn't show how much they could eat when snacking, but once it was Yang Yan's cooking, they ate like two little piggies, quickly, and a lot.

Coupled with Nine Treasures, their power was really something!

As for Zhou Hanyu, she could basically be ignored.

This was why Zhou Hanyu always wanted Yang Yan to do the cooking.

He casually grabbed a plate, poured the leftover sauce over his rice, mixed it, and finished it in a few bites, then headed to the living room to meet Xia Bing, without bothering to clean up.

As for the cleaning, he had no intention of letting Zhou Hanyu off the hook.

Although he knew, even if he pushed it onto her, Cai'Er and Ruyi would likely be roped in to do the hard work.

"So, what's the matter? How did you know I lived here?"

Yang Yan poured a cup of water for Xia Bing, and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

"This time, it's a special situation. I know Mr. Yang is not an ordinary person. These days I encountered a particularly strange case and I want to ask for your help."

Xia Bing said, somewhat apprehensively, afraid that he would refuse.

"A strange case? I think you've got the wrong person. I'm just an ordinary person, I can't help you."

Yang Yan refused.

Things were already chaotic enough lately, he really didn't have the energy to handle more.

Besides, if Xia Bing couldn't handle it, there would surely be someone to get involved.

There were quite a few members of the Eight Divisions recently around here. If it was truly a tricky problem, they wouldn't sit idly by.

"Mr. Yang, you must be joking, how can an ordinary person wipe out the entire Black Tiger Gang, hundreds of people, and even their Gang Leader who escaped out of town has mysteriously disappeared. I think he's probably disappeared from this world, don't you think?"

Xia Bing revealed a slight bitter smile, speaking with some embarrassment.

"What? Are you here to arrest me?"

Yang Yan looked at Xia Bing with unfriendly eyes, asking calmly.

"Mr. Yang, don't misunderstand, the authorities have already swept this matter under the rug. I came not for that, but because I've encountered such a bizarre case these past few days that I have no choice but to seek your help."

Xia Bing quickly said.

"Alright! Let's hear what the case is about, and I'll decide if I can help you."

Yang Yan thought for a moment, deciding to listen first.

Generally speaking, Xia Bing was quite reliable; she was obviously stuck on something crucial, which is why she came to him for help.

Perhaps he wouldn't have to act personally but could inform the Eight Divisions to help out.

The waters in East Sea are getting muddier, surely some people are trying to fish in troubled waters; having the Eight Divisions clean up a bit would be in order.

Hearing Yang Yan didn't directly refuse, Xia Bing quickly said:

"It's like this, in Sunshine District, there was a household, three days ago, inexplicably murdered in their home. A family of four, none spared, the youngest only four years old."

Yang Yan, knowing there was more to come, smiled and asked:

"Catching the killer is your task as a detective, right? What do you need me for? I can't help you."

Sure enough, Xia Bing immediately added:

"The main thing is the method of killing! All four were skinned alive. The forensic doctor speculates they... they were at least two hours dead after being skinned."

Xia Bing said, visibly shaken.

She picked up the cup of water in front of her and drank it in one gulp to calm down.

"Skinned alive? Died two hours later? How is that possible!"

Zhou Hanyu, who had somehow appeared there, asked in surprise.

Xia Bing, clearly hesitating, explained:

"Yes! That's what the forensic doctor said. I actually don't believe it myself. How could someone be skinned all over and die two hours later!"

"And... Sunshine District is fully inhabited. If they were skinned for two hours before dying, there would definitely be screams. How could no one hear?"

"Exactly!"

Zhou Hanyu agreed, nodding.

"Unless... the perpetrator isn't human."

As she said this, Xia Bing shivered, reached subconsciously for the cup, only to find it empty.

Yang Yan glanced at Zhou Hanyu, who smiled gently and immediately poured a cup of hot water for Xia Bing.

After thanking, Xia Bing drank over half in one go.

As a detective, she didn't usually believe in such things, but the current situation left her no choice.
