At that moment, several relatively calm police officers were left not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

What's the meaning of this?

It's not even clear if that's a person yet. First of all, if it's not a person, guns are definitely useless.

If it is a person?

Judging by the looks of it, isn't this just some young guy who's cosplaying the previous suicide victim by jumping into the lake... What's the meaning of pulling out a gun?

To prevent someone from committing suicide, so you shoot them dead first?

"Put it away!"

The team leader took a deep breath, told him to put the thing away, and then slowly walked over: "You..."

Qi Zixiao turned her head, glanced at them, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"It's you?!"

The team leader was stunned.

Qi Zixiao was also stunned.

However, the team leader was stunned because he recognized 'Lin Fan', while Qi Zixiao used the Heaven and Earth Grand Deduction Art to see that this person was 'fated' with her.

Of course, not a romantic fate, but a... 'financial fate'.

In other words, some 'financial' 'transactions' will occur between the two of them.

So, the question is, with whom would she have 'financial transactions'?

Wu Guodong!

Because the wanted criminal has been found, the next step is to contact Wu Guodong to 'exchange money for the person'.

So this is a 'financial transaction'.

And through 'Qi Observation' of Wu Guodong, it can be seen that the two will have financial transactions soon, and more than once...

Thinking of this, Qi Zixiao couldn't help but smile.

Well...

Good thing!

See if that guy dares to look down on me, thinking I can't make money?!

Wu Guodong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

No wonder he felt that the back and side profile of the person jumping into the lake looked a bit familiar. It turned out to be Lin Fan?!

The guy who went to grab food as a performance art, and accidentally became the 'Food Bandit'.

As for why he jumped into the lake once before, and now he's jumping again...

Wu Guodong didn't think so much.

At this moment, Lin Fan obviously looks like a person. If he's a person, he must be saved. This is the duty of a police officer.

His mind raced, and Wu Guodong quickly said, "Come down first!"

"Why are you seeking death for no reason? You're still a graduate student, your future has unlimited possibilities, come down quickly, and I, your brother, will have a good chat with you."

Qi Zixiao: "..., I'm not seeking death."

"Then what are you doing?" Wu Guodong clearly didn't believe it.

"Making money!"

Qi Zixiao's response was a matter of course.

Wu Guodong almost fainted when he heard this: "What money are you making here?"

Immediately, his expression changed slightly, and he thought of something, and couldn't help but say in astonishment: "Could it be that you want to Lao Ni Zi Ji?"

Swish swish swish!

As soon as these words came out, the few police officers who had been around Wu Guodong instantly took a step back.

Lao Ni Zi Ji?

What the hell!

So, this really is the one who jumped into the lake a few days ago, and even... became a ghost?

"What?"

Actually, Qi Zixiao was also a little tangled at the moment.

She didn't know Wu Guodong's identity!

Of course, having been 'hunted' for a few days, she could actually tell that Wu Guodong and his group were all 'officials' of the modern world.

But here's the problem, what is the relationship between this official and 'myself'?

What should I call him?

Is the relationship close or distant? How can I avoid giving myself away?

These are all problems.

But as the conversation went on, why did it feel more and more wrong? How did it become something like 'Lao Ni Zi Ji'?

"Come down first."

As soon as Wu Guodong spoke, he felt a chill run down his spine, straight from the heels of his feet to the back of his head.

But his experience as a police officer for half his life allowed him to quickly calm down, beckoning for Qi Zixiao to come down.

Thinking that she hadn't been exposed anyway, and the wanted criminal couldn't escape, Qi Zixiao came down.

Wu Guodong leaned over and whispered, "Tell me honestly, what exactly are you now, a person or something else?"

Qi Zixiao: "???"

"What do you think I should be?"

"I..."

Wu Guodong opened his mouth, then grabbed 'Lin Fan's' wrist.

But...

Qi Zixiao wasn't happy!

I am a dignified Saintess, how can you, a man, pull and tug at me casually?

Agile!

In an instant, almost no one saw what happened, and Wu Guodong was directly thrown to the ground with a back throw.

"Hiss!!!"

Grimacing, he was in great pain.

The other police officers and workers were frightened, thinking that this 'ghost' was about to attack.

But Wu Guodong grinned and got up, then laughed heartily: "Hey, I knew there couldn't be any ghosts in this world."

"Warm, alive, with a pulse."

Qi Zixiao: "..."

Wu Guodong didn't care about her expression, just rubbing his old waist: "Come on, tell your brother, what are you up to this time?"

"Still performance art?"

"Were you the one who jumped into the lake to commit suicide before, and how did you get out of there? Logically speaking, you haven't shown your face, so if it was you... you should have drowned a long time ago."

"I can't drown."

Qi Zixiao responded.

She didn't know how else to answer, she didn't understand!

Since that's the case, she could only answer that she couldn't drown...

Wu Guodong rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Are you kidding me? Who can't drown?"

Then, he lowered his voice, "So, you're admitting that the person before was you, right?"

"Do you know how much of an impact this has caused? First, a lot of people were mobilized to retrieve your body, but instead of finding you, they found a skeleton that was clearly murdered..."

"It's a good thing this happened, otherwise, your situation would have been really difficult to handle."

Qi Zixiao: "..."

Silence.

What else could she say?

She was just jumping into the lake to temper her body, how did so many things happen?

"So, what are you here for today? Don't tell me you're going to jump again and do another 'drowning suicide' performance art? You should have underwater breathing equipment on you, right?"

"Alright, stop it, if you do it again, it'll be really troublesome."

Wu Guodong earnestly advised.

Qi Zixiao didn't even understand what he was talking about, she just said, "I'm really here to make money."

"Stop joking, are you really going to Lao Ni Zi Ji? I've already checked, you have a shadow, your body is warm, and you have a pulse, how could you possibly be..."

"..." Qi Zixiao was helpless, why does no one believe her when she tells the truth?

That guy thinks I'm just a hindrance and can't make money, and you also think I can't make money?

Qi Zixiao gritted her teeth: "I'm here to catch a wanted criminal!"

"What wanted criminal?" Wu Guodong looked confused: "There's a wanted criminal here?"

We have so many police officers here, would a wanted criminal dare to run here? Wouldn't that be stupid?

"Yes!"

Qi Zixiao nodded solemnly: "The one you posted in your WeChat Moments!"
