In the rice noodle shop outside the police station, Long Fei and Ding Xue sat down and devoured a pot with great gusto.
He liked to add sesame oil to his rice noodles because the numb tingle on his lips made him think of kissing.
Having been single for twenty years, such fantasies were his idea of a first kiss.
Ding Xue thought she had come up with the perfect plan and reported it to the Chief in the middle of the night on her phone.
Wei Dongming immediately instructed that the case be handed over to them.
Much to Long Fei's surprise, he approved of Ding Xue's plan full of holes.
He didn't have much choice but to agree; after searching for two or three months with no leads, they were at the point of trying anything, however desperate.
Ding Xue ended the call, elated, and turned to Long Fei, "It's settled. The Chief has approved. Starting tomorrow morning, you'll enroll as a freshman. Until the case is cracked, you'll live in the student dorms temporarily."
