Both Ling Yue and Xia Tian looked at with different looks after they heard this.
Ling Yue was looking at with a look of pity and understanding after hearing what I said.
Xia Tian…was looking at with narrowed eyes filled with suspicion, almost as if he doubted everything that I said.
After a long silence, Xia Tian finally said, "You know…what you said just now could be considered a confession of guilt, right?"
I revealed a shocked look the mont that I heard this as I looked at him in a daze.
But before I could say anything, Ling Yue had already gone over to Xia Tian's side and punched him in the arm before glaring at him.
Under the pressure of this glare, Xia Tian had no choice but to back down and turn his gaze away.
Then she ca back to my side and to my surprise, she took in her arms. She patted on the back as she said, "It's alright, it's alright. I know that it feels like sotis the world is against you, but you can't give up hope."
I just had the sa surprised look on my face for a bit before letting myself sink into her embrace and give a small 'un' sound.
After hugging for a bit, Ling Yue realized what she was doing and she quickly let go of with a blush on her face.
As she did this, Xia Tian looked over at us with a very strange look, but that look also quickly disappeared. If I hadn't been peeking at Xia Tian out of the corner of my eyes, I definitely would have missed this.
But this told that…Xia Tian's feelings towards Ling Yue weren't normal.
After another long silence, Ling Yue suddenly gave a cough and said, "Mister Lin, I think that we have everything that we need. Thank you for your cooperation and we hope that you will have a nice day."
With this, she glared at Xia Tian who stood up and followed her to the door.
I also followed them to send them off even though Ling Yue told that there was no need.
As I stood there at the door sending them off, I had a smile on my face. But when they were gone and the door was closed, that smile instantly disappeared as I revealed a serious look on my face.
After a while, I said to myself, "I think they bought it…"
But I still couldn't help feeling unsure about this, so I opened the door again.
…
In the lobby, Ling Yue suddenly stopped before turning around to look at Xia Tian with a look of bla in her eyes. Then she crossed her arms and asked, "What was that?"
Xia Tian didn't say anything as he just stood there with a calm look on his face.
Ling Yue knew him better than anyone since they had grown up together, so she said, "You can't get out of this one with silence. Tell what that was about."
Xia Tian still didn't say anything, but seeing the way that Ling Yue glared at him, he said with a sigh, "He's clearly guilty, you could see it in the way that he spoke."
Ling Yue glared at Xia Tian even more when she heard this before saying, "You're just trying as hard as you can to make him seem guilty so that we have soone to pin this on. Do you really think that I can't see through that?"
Xia Tian looked at her for a bit, but seeing the way that she glared at him, he turned away in the end.
Ling Yue just calmly said, "Is this really all that your justice amounts to?"
Xia Tian gave a sigh before turning to say, "My instincts tell that he was the one that did it. All of that talk about how they got what they deserved, doesn't that seem suspicious to you?"
Ling Yue's eyes suddenly filled with pain as she looked at Xia Tian. Then she said in a slow and shaky voice, "You have no idea what it's like to be bullied…"
Xia Tian suddenly revealed a complicated look as well since as childhood friends, he knew what she had suffered through.
But he also knew that it would just bring up more bad mories if he were to bring it up…
So he said with a sigh, "Let's go back to the station and look over the files one more ti. Perhaps we'll be able to find another lead."
Ling Yue's eyes lit up when she heard this and she looked up with a smile before saying, "Un."
Like this, the two of them left this building, but what they didn't notice was that the intercom in the lobby was on.
In the apartnt, I had heard the entire conversation between the two detectives through the intercom.
That was all a result of using my Ti Stop ability.
After they had left my apartnt, I had been following them with the Ti Stop ability.
Of course, I didn't keep using the Ti Stop since they wouldn't move if I had used the Ti Stop the entire ti. I just followed them and only activated the Ti Stop when it seed like they would see .
Like this, I was able to follow them through the halls until the lobby where I dialed the intercom to call my unit, imdiately picking up so that it wouldn't make a sound.
All of that practice last night before they ca had really paid off.
Listening in on them like this had allowed to understand just what I needed to do.
That male detective…he might need to disappear depending on what he did.
Because it was clear that he wasn't going to let this matter go…
But that female detective, it seed that the Hypnosis training from last night had also worked.
After all, I had been able to influence her with just indirect statents.
It didn't work for the male detective since his guard was up, but at least it had worked with the female detective. This would make it much easier to cover up what had happened.
But that wasn't the only thing that I had to do today.
