In the evening, the Bamboo Teahouse was rather quiet. Xi Xiaye sat down in a hidden corner and made a pot of tea before flipping through a magazine about flowers as she listened to the soothing traditional guzheng music.
Inspector Zhang arrived shortly after.
"Sorry for troubling you to make this trip." Xi Xiaye pointed at the seat opposite her as she spoke to Inspector Zhang. "Please have a seat!"
Inspector Zhang put his jacket aside and sat down. "No worries. You're good friends with Lao Lin, so you're my friend too. Where is he? Not here today?"
Xi Xiaye smiled as she poured him some tea. "Professor Lin is on a break these few days. He highly recommended you to me back then. The military academy matter is all thanks to you."
"You should be thankful for your lover. Without him, things wouldn't have ended so quickly. By the way, what happened afterward?" Inspector Zhang drank the tea and asked.
