Chapter 250: Chapter 176: Sooner or later, I’ll have Paperman beat up the trolls through the internet!

"Do you really believe in the existence of ’Smiling Face’?" Jiang Shu opened the car window, letting the night wind blow in, continuously lifting his hair.

"I think about all the possibilities when I work on each case, then eliminate them one by one, selecting the correct answer." Tang smiled, his hand that was holding the steering wheel moving slightly, his index finger tapping on the wheel, "As of now, I haven’t any evidence to prove the non-existence of ’Smiling Face’."

"Your way of solving cases is a bit peculiar," commented Jiang Shu.

After Tang had shared his conjectures and investigative methods concerning Mu Jin, Jiang Shu had thought he was someone who relied on intuition and sixth sense to solve cases. But it appeared not to be the case.

Tang’s reasoning was equally rigorous; it was just that he didn’t share all his thoughts with the police station, so his ideas seemed somewhat fanciful to outsiders.

At least that’s what Wolf must have thought for sure.

After all, Tang hadn’t even visited several important crime scenes, making significant decisions based solely on some videos and case files.

"Perhaps," Tang smiled again, and then he suddenly asked, "Do you think Mu Jin could possibly be...?"

He looked at Jiang Shu, his eyes filled with an indescribable color, "Li Yuntang?"

"Huh?" Jiang Shu was momentarily stunned, looking back at Tang with eyes full of confusion, "Li Yuntang? The City Lord’s daughter?"

"Yes, how many Li Yuntangs could there be?" Tang chuckled again, his car slowing down, "I remember she said she liked Hibiscus flowers during your first magic performance, right?"

"Just on that basis, you’re suspecting her?" Jiang Shu furrowed his brow slightly, "There are quite a few people in Lonely City who like Hibiscus flowers. Besides, a Hibiscus mask might not necessarily signify a fondness for the flower. It could also be due to some special reason, perhaps a psychological shadow or something."

"Suspects, the more the merrier," Tang shrugged without saying much more, "Anyway, I won’t arrest without evidence, right?"

"Mm..." Jiang Shu responded noncommittally.

Tang was a very smart person; he wouldn’t do anything unnecessary.

Which meant...

He was still suspecting that Jiang Shu himself was ’Smiling Face’, suspecting he was the mastermind behind the Deception Group.

Using a very illogical method of speculation.

He just didn’t have any evidence now, merely using some techniques to probe, hoping Jiang would reveal a flaw...

But such an idea, no matter how you thought about it, was absurd.

Could the fox be setting him up?

Jiang Shu touched his chin, suddenly feeling that such a thing wasn’t impossible.

After all, the fox was a creature of evil taste too.

"We’ve arrived at the Black Currant Theater, Mr. Jiang Shu." Tang slowly pulled over to the curb, pressing on his own door, and Jiang Shu’s door immediately opened.

"Mm, goodbye, Chief Tang." Jiang Shu unfastened his seatbelt, turned, and got out of the car, heading toward the Black Currant Theater.

Dick Tang’s hands rested on the steering wheel, his arms relaxed.

Watching Jiang Shu’s retreating figure, he was lost in thought.

From the recent conversation, it was clear that Jiang Shu was not the one who built that flame robot; he didn’t have the technical ability.

So who could it be?

Or, was that invisible flame being not even a robot at all?

But something else entirely?

Dick Tang smiled to himself, finding the matter more complicated and interesting than he had anticipated.

Behind Jiang Shu, the Tablet Spirits followed closely. He gestured to one, and Xiao Jia came over.

Jiang Shu said, "Ask Xiao Ding what’s happening with Ruo Ma."

Xiao Jia released a video of Liu Tingruo’s daily routine, filmed by the professional team photographer, Xiao Ding.

Although Jiang Shu strongly disapproved of its stalker-like behavior, he still watched with interest while maintaining a critical attitude.

Sister Ruo had returned to the Fifth District in the afternoon but didn’t go straight to the White Eagle Building. Instead, she wandered around the streets for a while, dragging her feet until around four o’clock before returning to the White Eagle Building with a small cart laden with snacks.

Contrary to Jiang Shu’s expectations, Liu Tingruo’s return seemed very natural, as if she was just another employee going about her day, and no one even asked her what she had been doing all this time.

She simply went to her newly renovated room to place her things, put on a white lab coat, and then checked the progress of the research team.

Then she began to work.

Throughout, she had minimal interaction with others, and the other people’s accustomed expressions told Jiang Shu that this was their normal way of getting along.

Liu Tingruo’s research process was quite boring, and Jiang Shu didn’t understand much of it; he only knew it was somehow related to artificial intelligence but had no clear idea of the relation.

Fortunately, the segment was filmed by Xiao Ding, who managed to film Sister Ruo wearing a loose white lab coat from various angles, making her appear unusually alluring.

Her cold face was filled with seriousness, and occasionally she would bend over, her impressive figure barely constrained even by the lab coat.

Xiao Ding also smartly condensed the video, cutting out the monotonous research-only parts, acting like a smart progress bar.

However, it was true that without him, Sister Ruo always maintained a sour expression in her daily life, emanating a ’keep away’ vibe, looking as though everyone around her owed her money.

Just as Liu Tingruo had said herself, she suffered from a mild case of ’resting bitch face’ syndrome.
