Chapter 1354: Chapter 1373: Clue

As soon as a team member heard the request, he immediately went to find some water and brought back a bottle of ice-cold mineral water.

Ying Jiuming was on the verge of tears. In such cold weather, when droplets of water could freeze, there was still un-frozen mineral water available—should he cry or laugh?

"Uh... this is all we have, the only bottle that didn’t freeze."

"Go to Maple Garden and get some food and drinks to share with everyone." Being a police officer meant getting used to having meals irregularly, but it was too much to bear, being hungry and drinking cold water in such cold weather.

"Boss, disturbing the residents might lead to complaints. This isn’t good."

"Get lost! That’s my brother’s house."

The team member was shocked, "Then why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Is it too late for me to say it now?" Ying Jiuming didn’t wait for his subordinate’s reply and led the way to knock on the door of Maple Garden, only to find that the door was already opening just as he was about to knock. It seems they had been observing the situation from across the street.

It was Zuo Xinyao who opened the door, with a worried-looking Gu Qiu behind him.

As soon as Zuo Xinyao opened the door, he said directly, "I’ve had the housekeeper prepare everything. You can bring people in to carry it."

"Thanks a lot." Ying Jiuming didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately let several interns go in to get the hot water and hastily prepared food like bread and noodles. Due to the martial law task, they could only eat in shifts.

But in such cold weather, even a sip of hot tea felt much more comfortable.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Only after having his tea did Ying Jiuming notice that Zuo Xinyao was dressed all in black, his complexion cold and looking ready to go out.

"Wei Qin is gone. I’m going to see him off on his last journey." He had just received a call from the old man at home and couldn’t believe it was true.

Ying Jiuming was stunned for a moment before he heavily patted Zuo Xinyao on the shoulder, "I feel even sorrier for Huo Beijiang."

"Hmm!" Zuo Xinyao pursed his lips and nodded, instructed Gu Qiu to go back to her room, and not to come out or open the door if there was any noise outside before he left. As soon as he went out, he closed the main door, leaving Ying Jiuming both crying and laughing.

"We’re all here. What are you afraid of?"

Zuo Xinyao retorted sharply, "Even a blind man can see how troublesome Jiang Nanfei is. I don’t want Gu Qiu to get involved." Although Gu Qiu wasn’t afraid, he was.

The woman he finally brought back and kept close with all his effort, he absolutely couldn’t let any danger befall her.

"So you’re staying out of this?" Ying Jiuming’s expression noticeably cooled.

"I can help, but Gu Qiu can’t. She can’t be of any help to Jiang Nanfei."

Ying Jiuming’s expression softened slightly, changing the topic: "How is Huo Kewei doing in M country? Have you found the specialist?"

Zuo Xinyao’s handsome face took on a gloomy cast, "Missing! There definitely is foul play behind this. Kewei is still investigating."

"How can everything be tangled up together?"

"Maybe this is all a conspiracy, a conspiracy targeting Bei Jiang. Now that Bei Jiang is not here, the enemy is too eager to act." Zuo Xinyao tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a cynical smile, "What’s meant to come cannot be escaped unless Bei Jiang stops performing his duties forever, but that’s impossible."

"Did you pay attention to the thief tonight?"

At this, Zuo Xinyao’s face became more solemn, and his gaze turned icy and piercing, hard to meet directly. Since Huo Kewei had gone to M country, he had been very busy, operating as if one person was doing the work of two, and he had just returned not long ago.

As for Jiang Nanfei’s situation, he had only known about it from the secretary’s report.
