Dedicating todays chapter to elorinczy, Vandra_Wati and neotheo82.

" Wu Jin, can I come in?" Wu Jin raised his head from the pile of papers that were scattered all over his desk, with a phone receiver against his ear, he hummed before answering his superior's call. " Yeah, I got sir...I will make sure that this doesn't happen again, yes I will pay attention to everything."

He repeated the same thing a few more times before he was able to end the call and put the receiver down. With a slight raise of his brow, he looked at Lu Anhe and said, " You are here to scold me as well?"

" No," replied Lu Anhe, she has, of course, heard the voice of their superior asking Wu Jin to be careful from next time onwards and understood that he has received a scolding already. " I am not here to tell you off, if anything I am here to ask what is going on?"

" Bambang! Hey, wait a minute…where are you going?" Ever since the incident of last night was known to others Guo Bambang who has been with the Wu Jin has become an instant celebrity. Everyone who heard about the incident wanted to know what happened and that was why Guo Bambang who wanted to do nothing but go back home and sleep was being dragged left and right.

After the incident of a corpse being suddenly burnt without a proper explanation was leaked out Guo Bambang has to stay behind dealing with the aftermaths and also deal with overly aggressive and excited officers like these.

" Where were you running off to? Didn't I say that I wanted to talk to you a little?" The officer with a military haircut sidled next to Guo Bambang and threw his arm around the latter's shoulders as he said, " Come on everyone wants to know what happened? Just like that man's wife said the man was alive till last night, how come he suddenly died?"

" How am I supposed to tell you that?" Guo Bambang already knew that if he was, to tell the truth to someone about what happened last night then he will surely be reported for spreading false and baseless superstition in the department. So, even if he knew what happened last night he couldn't say anything about it. " When I and chief found the corpse it was already like that, what am I supposed to say if not the truth?"

Huo Chung stared at Guo Bambang, he could feel that there was something off about Guo Bambang ever since he returned last night but he couldn't put his fingers on what exactly was going on with him. Huo Chung hummed and then suddenly patted Guo Bambang on the shoulders as he said, " I was simply asking this because I wanted to know whether you guys caught someone last night. After all, this case was just as weird as the one where the kids are vanishing one by one, don't you think so?"

" Eh, what's wrong with you?" Huo Chung only said those things out loud in the heat of the moment but Guo Bambang who has seen the horror of last night immediately stiffened. That…That's right why didn't either of them thought of the matter like that before? The case of children vanishing in thin air was just as weird as the one that they just witnessed. If they were to explain what happened to the man last night even if they were to think of various excuses they wouldn't be able to come up with a decent explanation but the situation was no longer the same as they have seen what happened to the man.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and someone simply reported the matter to them they would have thought of it as a small case of overdrinking and passing out maybe they have looked for some piece of evidence in vain but now …

" Hey? What's wrong with you Bambang?" Huo Chung saw that something was different about Guo Bambang and immediately shook him awake but the latter acted as if he hasn't heard a thing that he just said and immediately turned around to leave. " Sorry about this Senior Chung, I have something to say to the chief."

Huo Chung stared at Guo Bambang's back and was slightly stunned, " What in the world just happened?"

Guo Bambang didn't have the time to tell Huo Chung what happened, after finally seeing the light he had so many things to say to Wu Jin and couldn't think of something else. Thus, he rushed straight to the floor where Wu Jin's office was and almost stumbled into someone, fortunately, he was quick enough to stop himself and then turned to look at the woman in front of him before bowing at once. " Forgive me, commissioner, I was in a hurry and didn't see where I was going!"

"It's all right," Lu Anhe was amused by Guo Bambang's inattentiveness, she smiled at the man in front of her before patting him on his shoulder. "  You don't have to be in such a hurry, before anything else you should ensure your safety. If you can't even do that then how are you going to ensure the safety of the citizens around you?"

" Yes, please forgive me for making such a stupid mistake ." Guo Bambang knew that he might have done something wrong, so he immediately bowed his head in front and acknowledged his mistake before taking his leave. " I have something important to say to the chief, then I will be taking my leave. I apologise for almost bumping into you again, commissioner."

Lu Anhe hummed as she allowed Guo Bambang to leave before turning her head to look at the closed door of the office with a frown. Right now, she asked Wu Jin a lot of questions but the latter kept dodging them and now Guo Bambang came in a rush to speak to Wu Jin. So, what exactly were these two hiding?
