Chapter 111 Another Peaceful Day

Twisting wisps of cooking smoke rose from the kitchen in the back yard.

After Xu Shuo returned, he saw the Trench Coat Detective looking utterly perplexed in front of the dancing flames of the clay stove, his face a picture of helplessness.

"Ah, I just saw the fire flare up suddenly..." the Trench Coat Detective said awkwardly upon seeing him.

"You just need to block this half way," Xu Shuo stepped forward, picked up the lid carelessly left on the ground, and partially covered the stove's air vent with it.

Immediately after, Xu Shuo added, "You guys go sit outside for a bit, I've got this covered."

The Trench Coat Detective, feeling embarrassed, turned around to leave. When he stepped outside, he saw the female journalist he'd met on the way here, and a well-behaved little girl in a blue jacket, looking cute and adorable.

The little girl sat obediently on the stool, nibbling on the snacks laid out on the table, while the journalist snapped photos of her from the side.
