Niu Chuntian sighed helplessly. "Luo Wen was injured so badly. If he is truly involved in this matter, you must all be careful." He paused for a moment, then added, "Forget it. You are guests after all. I cannot leave you like this. I will stay up with you tonight."
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "That is good. Brother Wang, please prepare some food and drinks. We cannot keep watch without eating."
Wang Ye smiled and agreed, then went out to make preparations. Niu Chuntian looked at Zhu Yanyi with confusion. She truly did not know if this person was genuinely carefree or simply bold.
Night slowly fell, and the city lights began to glow. From a high vantage point, the night view of the Magic City was undoubtedly beautiful. Unfortunately, Zhu Yanyi was not standing high up and could not see this scenery. However, looking up at the sky, the stars above the Magic City were still brilliant. Zhu Yanyi gazed at the starry sky and the cold crescent moon, smiling. "They say a dark, windy night is the best time for killing. Although it is night now, it is not dark. I wonder if it can still be considered a night for killing."
Luo Gang also glanced at the sky and then smiled. "That depends on the person. Some see it as a night for killing, while others see it as a romantic evening."
Zhu Yanyi nodded, then glanced behind her but remained silent. Luo Gang asked instead, "Miss, will someone come today?"
"They should have already arrived. It is just that the time has not come, so they have not appeared yet," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. Her special ability was fully open. In this area, she could sense even a mosquito or an ant through the surrounding plants and lawns. "Let’s go back to the forensic room to rest and eat something."
Back in the forensic room, Zhu Yanyi did not eat immediately. She touched a pot of cloud pine by the window, then opened the window to let the outside breeze in. Only then did she return to her seat. Wang Ye had bought plenty of food, including several portions of salted fish fried rice. Zhu Yanyi disliked the smell of salted fish fried rice and shook her head slightly. "I will eat fruit instead. Brother Wang, why did you think of buying salted fish fried rice?"
Zhu Yanyi liked seafood, and she even enjoyed dried fish, but she could not stand the taste of salted fish fried rice. She felt that mixing salted fish with rice created a flavor she could not tolerate. She did not understand how this had become a local specialty in the Magic City.
"Isn't salted fish fried rice a famous local snack here? I went out of my way to buy it." Probably because they came from the military camp, Wang Ye, Luo Gang, and Niu Chuntian were not picky eaters and started eating directly.
Zhu Yanyi ate fruit and some other pastries. "The fishy smell of the salted fish is too strong. It overpowers the fragrance of the rice, so it tastes bad. I do not understand why people here like this flavor."
Zhu Zhibin, sitting nearby, was eating cake. He nodded as he ate. "Second Sister, you should eat cake. This fried rice is indeed not tasty." Zhu Zhibin also disliked the smell.
Seeing Zhu Zhibin with cake all over her mouth, Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "You eat yours. I will stick to fruit. I am trying to lose weight."
"You are not fat," Niu Chuntian said, taking a portion of fried rice. "Besides, the point of salted fish fried rice is that specific flavor. My grandmother was best at making stinky salted fish fried rice when she was alive. It was truly excellent. Unfortunately, since she passed away, I have never been able to eat it again."
