Meng Jixi understood what Master Xiao meant.
Although he seemed somewhat impatient by nature,
he had never lacked patience when it came to solving cases.
He smiled at the Dyed-hair man. "Yu Hai, thank you for cooperating with the investigation."
The Dyed-hair man waved a hand. "It's only right to cooperate with the police."

Meng Jixi nodded, then wore a faintly amused expression. "I meant that we still have things to do, so we'll be leaving first. You're welcome to stay at the café a while longer if you want."

The Dyed-hair man: ...

The Dyed-hair man gave a dry laugh.
As soon as they stepped out of the café, the Dyed-hair man hurried to part ways with Xiao
