  "It seems that you two really have a bit of tacit understanding, everyone has fate to sit together, knowing each other is also considered friends, don't be petty anymore!" Liu Fei saw that the two were fine, and only then did she smile and ease the atmosphere between them again.

  "Speaking of which, I also have a friend working at the police station on the river, she's in the traffic police team, her name is Cao Meng, don't know if you guys know her?" Qin Mei said as she placed her gaze on Yang Jie's face, wanting to see what kind of expression he would have after hearing that she was friends with Cao Meng.

  "Oh! So you're the Mei Zi that Xiao Liu mentioned? The one who's been trying to find Xiao Liu? And even asked Cao Meng to ask me for Xiao Liu's email address." Yang Jie had already guessed that Qin Mei was the hacker Mei Zi, so when she revealed her identity voluntarily, he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, with just a light sentence, Qin Mei suddenly changed color.

  The reason hackers are mysterious is that their true identities are highly hidden, and outsiders do not know. Now hearing Yang Jie say this, it's clear that Xiaoliu has already told Yang Jie about what happened that night, so Yang Jie knows she's a hacker.

  "Cao Meng told you that I'm taking the train to Chengdu today, right? You've been preparing to come and block me on the train since early morning, and I believe your ticket isn't in our upper berth, but somewhere else!" Yang Jie rolled his eyes, ignoring Qin Mei's slightly panicked expression, and casually revealed the reason for her appearance.

  Qin Mei saw that Yang Jie had already guessed, so hiding was no longer necessary. Her pretty face quickly changed from shock to a look of admiration, and she patted her palm lightly, saying: "Indeed, you are worthy of being the great detective who cracked the 7·19 murder case. You exposed my secret in one go! I admire you!"

  "Let's get reacquainted, Qin Mei, also known as Meizi, a senior majoring in computer science at Military Science University." Qin Mei's impulsive personality made Yang Jie pause for a moment, seeing her face reveal a sincere expression, with extremely calm and natural eyes, stretching out her slender hand that had not been withdrawn, hesitating for a moment before re-gripping Qin Mei's soft small hand.

  "Nice to meet you, I'm Yang Jie from Yunhe County, roommate of Cao Meng and online friend of Xiao Liu." Yang Jie's poised response made Qin Mei very satisfied with his emergency reaction and adaptability.

  "What's going on here?" Liu Fei, who was eating something on the side, saw that the two of them actually knew each other and was stunned. After the two shook hands again to introduce themselves, she finally couldn't help but put down her chopsticks, looking at the two with a confused expression.

  "Fifi, I have a good sister who works in Hangzhou and is roommates with Yang. Also, one of my online friends is also very familiar with Yang, so it can be said that we are also friends." After Qin Mei briefly explained the relationship between the two, Liu Fei looked at Yang Jie thoughtfully.

  She knew that Yang Jie's place was a dormitory arranged by the company, but she didn't expect that Yang Jie would actually live with a girl together. Although they were in different rooms, it still surprised her and deep down, she felt a hint of inexplicable jealousy, feeling sour and uncomfortable.

  However, Liu Fei, who was good at hiding her emotions, did not show anything unusual and curiously asked: "What's going on with the 7.19 murder case you mentioned earlier? I haven't heard of it before?"

  The case of Wang Guixi's murder at the Huanghe Winery was not widely known in Huanghe County due to its sudden occurrence and swift resolution. Only Yangjiacun Village and the police department were aware of the details. Cao Meng, who worked at the police station, naturally heard her colleagues discussing the case. As Cao Meng's close sister, Qin Mei, being a curious person, was informed about the situation without surprise.

  When Liu Fei asked this, Qin Mei's pretty face showed a hint of admiration, looking at Liu Fei, she spoke fluently and added flavor to the story of solving the case that she had heard from Cao Meng, telling it like a storyteller. Not only did it spark Liu Fei's interest, but also attracted the attention of other passengers sitting nearby.

  It was Yang Jie sitting opposite, listening to Qin Mei constantly adding fuel to the fire, making him sound like Sherlock Holmes in the world, breaking a very complex case with ease, making him feel a little ridiculous, and not good at saying anything, can only let Qin Mei play.

  Listening to Qin Mei's story, Liu Fei couldn't help but glance at Yang Jie across from her, who was sitting with a calm and collected expression. Seeing his unruffled demeanor, the inexplicable feeling of gratitude in her heart began to gradually turn into admiration.

  As the saying goes, beauties love heroes, especially women like Liu Fei who have experienced storms, seen the dark side of social reality, and felt the warmth and coldness of human relationships. They are even more eager to have a hero appear in their lives one day, rescue them from misery, and change their tragic fate.

  One was charming and alluring, the other was youthful and lovely with a pure beauty, two big beauties with different personalities sat together, surrounding Yang Jie's topic of cracking the case, they started chattering away.

  Women's emotions are weird, two women who had just met, actually because of a man, chatted happily and excitedly, in just a short while, it was like they were good sisters who had known each other for many years, holding hands, one calling the other "Feifei sister", the other calling her "Meizi", being affectionate to an unbearable degree, after chatting about Yang Jie, they chatted about clothes, after chatting about clothes, they chatted about food, after chatting about food, they chatted about shopping.

  All the way, the two women didn't stop talking, and their silvery laughter and conversation filled the compartment, causing some men sitting next to them to occasionally cast profound and meaningful glances at them.

  The dull journey, with Qin Mei, a talkative and curious girl, made Yang Jie more interesting. Liu Fei, who was known for being cold and taciturn, unexpectedly showed her lively and cheerful side after leaving Xunhe River.

  Unlike the men next to them who were sneaking glances at the two women, Yang Jie was openly staring at them with no intention of hiding it. Fortunately, the two women were too caught up in their conversation to notice Yang Jie's invasive gaze.

  By the time they arrived at Chengdu Railway Station, Qin Mei and Liu Fei had become close friends who could talk about anything.

  Watching the two people exchange contact information, Yang Jie sincerely couldn't understand the woman's way of making friends.

  Liu Fei held Yang Jie's luggage, while Yang Jie helped Liu Fei and Qin Mei carry the two suitcases. The three of them waited until most people had gotten off the train before they leisurely exited the carriage.

  Chengdu is known as the "City of Fire", and as soon as you get off the train, a wave of heat hits you in the face, and the scorching sun above releases high temperatures that can make people feel suffocated.

  The river was already very hot, and unexpectedly the city of Chengdu would be even hotter. Liu Fei, wearing a long skirt, had her back drenched in sweat after just a short while. Yang Jie was no exception, carrying two suitcases and walking along the long platform, he was already sweating profusely before they even left the train station.

  Qin Mei was already accustomed to the weather in Rong City, and seeing the two of them like this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. "Rong City has always been known as a fiery city," she said. "In the summer, the average daytime temperature can reach 37 degrees Celsius, and the surface temperature is usually above 42 degrees Celsius. Even eggshells can be cooked on the manhole covers. And even at night, the temperature is still around 27 or 28 degrees, it's extremely hot."

  Yang Jie and Liu Fei had never been to Rong City, the two listened to Qin Mei's introduction, in the scorching heat they didn't have the heart to chat, following behind Qin Mei, they left the train station.

  Looking at the square in front of the station, there are many buses parked, and people coming and going, giving a dizzying feeling.

  "Where are you going? I'm familiar with Chengdu, I can tell you how to get there by bus." Qin Mei saw Yang Jie looking around and thought he wanted to ask for directions. She had already known they were heading to the Provincial Government Office and pretended to be kind, asking Yang Jie.

  "We're going to the Huai River Hotel on Chunjiang Road, it seems to be in Nanjiang District." Yang Jie glanced at the address of the provincial office and saw Qin Mei ask, didn't think much, and casually said it out.

  "Chunjiang Road? Isn't that just near our school, what a coincidence! We can take bus 31 and get off directly at Junke University. Once you arrive at Junke University, transfer to bus 28 and it's just two stops away." Qin Mei's face lit up with a hint of surprise and delight when Yang Jie mentioned going to Chunjiang Road.

  "Alright! We'll follow you then!"

  Yang Jie didn't expect the provincial office to be near the Military Academy, and he didn't even hand over the luggage that was supposed to be returned to Qin Mei. He smiled and pulled the luggage box, letting Qin Mei lead the way in front, while he and Liu Fei followed behind towards the bus station.

  Rongcheng City is a deputy provincial city, with a relatively large urban scale and a permanent population of over 3.5 million. Yang Jie, who has lived in Yanjing for four years, would not be attracted by the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road. Instead, Liu Fei sat on the bus, looking at it with relish, chattering incessantly to Qin Mei next to her.

  The Military Academy is built along the river, covering a vast area. Spring River Road is less than one kilometer away from the academy. After getting off at the academy, Qin Mei sent Yang Jie and Liu Fei to take bus No. 28. In less than ten minutes, the bus arrived at Spring River Road Station.
