"Old Town Area, Dongling Road..."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ji Li silently repeated those six words to himself.
For some reason, they felt deeply familiar, as though he had heard them somewhere before.
"It was Gao Yan, the old detective who had carried his hatred for the Mu Nianmei Case for the rest of his life."
Only after the Third Personality's reminder did Ji Li finally realize what that place name represented.
There was no mistake.
The fish shop Gao Yan had once run, along with the bar, had been located on Dongling Road in the Old Town Area.
And during his conversation with Mu Nianmei just now, Ji Li had received that same place name.
According to Mu Nianmei, the last time she had seen the White Robe Worshipped Ghost had also been there.
A strange coincidence...
The Mu Nianmei Mission was not actually the core of the mission, despite everything having begun with her.
The Root Ghost of that mission should have been the Female Skin Ghost Tong Guan had captured.
And the route Ji Li had pursued had corresponded to Mu Nianmei, ultimately leading to that unexpected capture.
Yet after the accumulation of so many clues, he had believed once the mission ended that the truth he had deduced contained many unanswered questions.
That was why he had suspected from then on that Mu Nianmei was far from simple.
And the White Robe Worshipped Ghost behind her had an enormous connection to Heavenly Sea.
Poor Gao Yan.
This old detective had abandoned his post and lost his sight because of the Mu Nianmei Case, only to ultimately lose his family and his life. He had come so close to the truth.
Yet in the end, he had missed it by inches and died with his hatred
