“Senior.”

He immediately turned his head to see a girl walk into the classroom with a giggle. Her beautiful face attracted many people’s attentions as usual, but they were not all stunned. Most instantly shifted their gazes away after a brief glance.

“Junior sister, how unusual for you to be the one looking for me.” He smiled at the girl who was a year below him.

“Mm, are you free tonight? Senior Lai wants to chat with you.”

Yan Si’s smile did not reach his eyes as he evaluated the invitation. He shrugged and asked, “Just me?”

“Plus some others that Senior Lai wanted to join in. Should be around eleven or twelve people total. We’ll be having a barbecue on the roof of the dorms – I’ll be going to buy some drinks and alcohol later. Does Senior Yan want to join? And would Senior Li from the law school want to come along too?” The girl clasped her hands behind her back, her smile as brilliant as unfurling blossoms.

“My roommate left yesterday to attend a self-improvement camp on the mountains. He won’t be back for another week.”

As he considered it to himself, the girl in front of him seemed to be waiting for his response. Her expression remained unchanged as she did not move from where she stood, having no intention of leaving. “Alright, I’ll go over once I finish a report with my classmates.” It seemed as if the girl really would not leave unless he replied. He did not have any activities tonight anyways, and his friends would also be going. Thus, he still agreed.

“Then we’ll be waiting for you.”

***

A car dangerously whizzed past a pedestrian.

“Fucking hell! You think the street belongs to you?”

The middle-aged man that had nearly been run over by the driver violating traffic laws shouted out angry curses at the car that abruptly turned and left, then angrily grumbled to the shop he was picking goods up in. “People are getting more and more unreasonable. Didn’t even apologise after nearly hitting someone.”

“That’s just how it is nowadays. You have to be more careful.” The apron-wearing owner of the breakfast shop smiled, softening the customer’s anger. “The same thing happened to my mom a few days ago. When she was crossing the street, she was hit by a youth. When the person saw that she only had scratches, they fled without even stopping the car. People these days…”

“Don’t have any decency. We older people are more sensible.”

“Yeah, society has gotten more chaotic too.” The owner checked the items in the box and calculated the month’s salary. “You guys make sure to watch yourselves when you’re running around delivering goods.”

“Eh, everyone’s living from hand to mouth. Even breakfasts get stolen now.”

After a moment’s pause, the owner agreed. The two people exchanged smiles, then continued with the payment.

“Hey, did you lock your car?” Just as the owner raised his head, he casually glanced over at the door to see someone appearing to be looking around the little truck, so he hurriedly reminded the other person.

“Fuck, I was just robbed last week.”

The man furiously ran out of the shop to chase away the person next to his vehicle. He then walked back inside and said, “I had several boxes of drinks stolen away last week. So infuriating.”

“Haha, the fact that you’re safe and sound is most important.”

“True, true.”

Just like the ordinary days they could not be more familiar with, they tossed aside the unpleasant experiences and switched to chatting about a new topic.

It was the same as every other day.

The weather this year was truly unusual.

There were the winter days that were not cold in the slightest, the spring days that barely stormed, and the multiple earthquakes and tsunamis…Although he wished these were all, the most frustrating part was the extremely hot and humid weather today.

He glanced up at the sun above the multi-storied buildings, inwardly questioning why the Houyi 1 from the ancient times hadn’t shot at the last sun to critically damage it – At least then it wouldn’t be this hot!

Hah, if I knew [it would be this hot], I would’ve just lazed around at home instead of going through the trouble of coming out and buying clothes…If it were not because his last presentable shirt had ripped two days ago, he would definitely not have come out on such a hot day.

Yan Si could only shrug after thinking back to what had happened a few days ago. He glanced at the bandage on his hand, then lazily continued walking forward.

Unlike the abundantly air-conditioned underground streets in the northern district, there were still quite a few roads in the central district that were currently hot enough to fry eggs. The pedestrians also appeared more restless than usual, and he had just passed by a few in conflict.

If he had knew of this earlier, he would have bugged his former roommate into driving them around together. At least the car would’ve had air conditioning…

“Fuck!”

As Yan Si was starting to lose his mind from the excessive heat, he decided to turn into a random convenience store. While aimlessly looking around, he heard an extremely adamant curse float past his ear. It was so loud that all the people walking nearby also shifted their gazes towards the source:

A group of people were fighting across the street.

Typically, in these types of situations, Yan Si would dart off to enjoy the show from a distance then finally help call the police and ambulance once the young and vigorous youths had beaten each other up enough to vent most of their hot blood and anger. Or, he would put a stop to the situation before any fatalities occurred. However, it was clear that this case fell into neither of these categories, as the dispute ended before he had barely gotten any distance away.

A beautiful girl crossed her arms and shot a look of contempt at the five or six youths collapsed on the ground. The onlookers all stared in disbelief as a string of curses exploded out from her mouth like a torrent, “Are you idiots blind? Were your eyeballs all stuffed up your asses? You thought you could pick on someone as amazing as me just ‘cause I’m a chick? Do you need someone to scrub your eyes and dig them out? Trust me, I’ll definitely dig them out and toss them onto this street for you! Hmph!”

Just because they are female does not mean they can be taken advantage of.

Yan Si understood this point very well, especially this chick that was currently still relentlessly pursuing a cop.

The youths, who had already experienced this truth by the pain in their flesh, continued to groan a bit on the ground. None of the pedestrians dared to approach and help, so the youths quickly crawled up hugging their beaten bodies and scampering away like mice.

“Hell! You’d better pray you don’t let me see you again. I’ll beat you up every time and teach you guys some discipline! If I see you trying to steal something again, I’ll knock you all out, break off your limbs, and toss them into the bottom of the Taichung Harbour!” The girl shouted out after the youths painfully fleeing. She then bent over to pick something up from the ground, walked to the nearby shop, and passed the item over to another female standing there while saying something in a lowered voice. The latter accepted the item and hurriedly bowed her head repeatedly in thanks.

At this point, Yan Si could pretty much guess what had happened. The beaten-up children were not very old, even younger than the student that was ganged up on. They seemed to be a group of junior and senior high school students that had likely been short of money for an internet café or something, thus deciding to steal instead. This type of thing was nothing new. It was just that they had been unfortunate enough today to get caught red-handed by that girl across the street.

However, if this kind of scene had occurred with his boss around instead, it would not have been much different. The kids would have still been badly beaten up, although his boss would have handled it differently afterwards: tie them up and drag them back to the police station, call their parents to pick them up, then severely reprimand the parents.

This could have subsequently caused multiple other events to unfold. For example, if there were foolish parents that thought a rookie cop, they would argue back, or even call for a legislator. Another possibility was that they would tearfully cry that their extremely obedient children could never do such a thing, that there must be some kind of misunderstanding. There were also some parents that would start calling reporters to tell them that a cop had used violence to beat up children, among other things.

…He sometimes honestly felt that his boss’s steadfast perseverance to the job was truly amazing. Soon after, he would feel even more respect for the higher-ups working from behind that could keep his boss from losing the position.

Might as well buy a snack and bring it over as a gift of appreciation…and see if I can hear any gossip.

As Yan Si amused himself with this thought, the female across the street finished apologising, and suggested something to the other girl, likely inviting her to a drink or a meal to show gratitude. The girl shook her head, heroically replying that it was not a big deal, there was no need for thanks, and that if they encountered those people again, to call her or the police and she would go and finish them off, etc.

After talking with each other for a few more minutes, the female finally said thanks for the millionth time and left.

Once the female had turned the corner and disappeared, Yan Si quickly jaywalked across the street to call out to the girl that was also about to leave. “Xiao Hai-mèimei 2!”

She stopped and glanced left and right before finally turning around to see the person that had stopped her. “Oh, it’s you. What a coincidence, I was just thinking about going to chat with Mr. Cop since I’m free.”

Yan Si chuckled. “Tong and Boss are both quite busy these past few days. Why don’t you wait a bit until things have started settling down? If you go now, you’ll just get targeted by the media.”

The girl – Fang Xiao Hai – let out a snort. “Can’t I just go over and help them beat down the hindrances?” She obviously knew that the police station was surrounded by reporters recently. The issue was that most of them had no morals, and randomly reported whatever they pleased. There was no way she could stay oblivious after nearly ripping up the newspapers she had read recently.

“If you fight your way in, they’ll probably report even more bullshit.” Yan Si pointed at the drink shop next to them. Without needing to say anything, Xiao Hai quickly understood and followed him inside to briefly enjoy the cool air and a refreshment. “I’ve already left to lay low for a while. It’s best you don’t cause any explosion around Boss and the others.”

“I know, I’m not some naïve idiot.” Xiao Hai waved her hand in dismissal and let out a grunt of understanding. She flipped through the menu on the table and ordered a random smoothie before returning the menu to the waiter.

In comparison, Yan Si elegantly read through the entire menu before ordering a tea, as well as some snacks.

Xiao Hai had noticed the conspicuous bandage wrapped around the forensic investigator’s left arm from the beginning. She also knew where the injury had come from after reading the media reports and hearing about it from her underlings. “Your injury’s fine?”

“Oh, thank you for your concern, it’s alright now. Just a few stitches – it’ll heal completely after some rest.” Yan Si waved his hand and smiled. “Since it’s an injury from work, I have the entire week off, so I’m quite bored. When I think back to how I had been going three days straight without sleep before, I feel so touched.” His work had been dumped onto a junior of his that had been temporarily called over to take his place, so he had nothing to worry about now.

Xiao Hai nodded, and did not ask any further.

Then, the shop staff brought over their drinks and snacks. After gently putting everything down, they left.

When looking out the window, it was clear that the weather outside was still extremely hot.

***

It was an incident that had occurred a few days ago.

When Yan Si had received the call, he had just happened to be eating specialty desserts and chatting with friends at a restaurant. The people around him were all his former classmates, juniors, and seniors from school. The shop was unusually lively.

After everyone had finally graduated from university, they had all gone various way. Yan Si himself had arranged to undertake advanced studies overseas after his completing the fieldwork, exams, and receiving his official license. He had only returned to Taiwan not long ago.

The gathering this time had been summoned by the owner of the restaurant, who had said that since everyone was typically busy with their own activities, it had been quite difficult to finally gather them while they all had break. All the juniors and seniors working in the central district had been invited over too. Then, the ringing of his cellphone shattered the beautiful scene.

“Aren’t you off today?” The friend, a business proprietor, sitting across from him raised a brow as he tilted his head slightly and questioned, “Is it Xiao Li?”

“Mm, yeah, he said that there was a case just now and that I should go stop by if I have time later since he wants to transfer it to me.” Yan Si stowed his phone away and quickly downed the rest of his tea. “It’s rare to actually get a break. So much has been happening recently that it’s impossible to take a long vacation, sigh.”

“Ahaha, we’re all the same. Just look at Senior Chen – he’s in obstetrics and he’s not any more free. Although birth rates are low now, the cases of female illnesses have increased in number, so they’re still running around like crazy as before.” His senior of one year, Zhao Jun Xi, chuckled as he threw an arm around Yan Si’s shoulder and pointed at the person sitting across from them. Then, he raised his hands wrapped in bandages and said, “And then there’s me that’s in rehabilitiation. A single slip-up that even brought harm to the job. Now I just want to toss everything onto the interns and relax a bit.”

“Everyone is busy in their own ways.” The restaurant owner, Yang De Cheng, walked over to clear up their empty glasses. “Ah Si, did you drive here? Or do you need me to drop you off?”

“I can just go there by myself, my car’s outside. I think these drunkards need rides back though,” Yan Si answered in an amused tone as he glanced over at the bunch of health professionals in the restaurant that had gotten drunk in the middle of the day. Although it was a rare gathering during vacation, they had let themselves a bit too loose.

“Don’t worry, I’ll kick them all out – they can figure things out by themselves.”

Yan De Cheng’s words instantly stirred up a commotion as several seniors pounced over to teach the restaurant owner a lesson.

Zhao Jun Xi, who had been the one pointing out others earlier, stepped away from the ruckus to grab Yan Si before he left. “Did you know that Lai Chang An was looking for you?”

“Senior Chang An?” Yan Si was somewhat taken aback by the sudden mention of the name. He shook his head and answered, “Not at all. Why was Senior Chang An looking for me?”

“I don’t know, but he seems to have found out you were working in the central district after watching the news. He called several people to ask about you about a month ago, including De Cheng. We all said we didn’t know.” Zhao Jun Xi glanced at the restaurant owner who was still being forcefully reprimanded, then lowered his voice to say in a mysterious tone, “Since you haven’t been around in the past two years, there are some things you don’t know…If you do a quick check over at the police, you’ll understand. If Lai Chang An really does find you, just try to avoid contact with him as much as possible.”

“Oho, thank you for the warning, Senior.” Yan Si mentally took note and smiled in return, “Then this grieved junior of yours will be going back to work for now. If I can make it, I’ll drop by tonight to continue chatting with everyone.” He had heard that another group of people would be coming over in the evening. Unfortunately, Yang De Cheng would have to receive guests twice today. It seemed that knowing this, he had taken the day off today to let them use the whole restaurant.

“You should bring Xiao Li tonight. I bet the other seniors want to find him to reminisce together too.”

“OK.”

Yan Si left the restaurant and called someone at the office to bring him his work tools. Then, he drove directly to the crime scene he had been directed to. It was actually somewhat far – by the time he arrived, twenty minutes had already passed.

Because he was a bit late, the crime scene had already been sealed off with yellow tape, and the reporters had arrived already. The siren lights were flashing non-stop as several people attempting to break through were stopped by the police.

They were either people who did not know the laws, or simply pretended they did not.

Yan Si shook his head at the sight of the chaotic media. He could not be bothered at this point to criticise the reporters who simply created content on any hot topic regardless of how much truth it held.

Their previous visits to a certain person in order to randomly start rumours had caused Yu Xia’s temperament to reach an all-time low, and now Yan Si no longer dared to go have fun with the twin brothers anymore. If it were just the risk of getting some bruises, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but if he went over nowadays, he would probably get skinned alive.

The source of the matter was an unknown, idiotic rookie who had published an exclusive report regarding the major case Yu Xia was responsible for, titled: “Police Unexpectedly Hands Case to Young and Inexperienced Officer”. There had even been a photo of Yu Xia in his usual T-shirt and jeans, subtitled in gold letters about how he had just come out of the police academy and such.

The writer had likely gone through a list of newly joined officers. The officer name printed was correct, as was the year of graduation and their age. However, the photo was somehow of Yu Xia, therefore posing him as the newly joined officer, giving a seemingly earnest analysis on how sloppily the police were dealing with things.

This kind of mistake theoretically should have been impossible to make, yet it had happened anyways. Apparently, the moment Yu Xia had seen it at work, he had grabbed the newspaper and shredded it into pieces…Yan Si was certain that Yu Xia likely would have preferred to have ripped up that rookie [writer] as well.

The amateur writer’s editor had later apologised, claiming that they had only reviewed the text before the distribution of the paper since the photo had been added in later. They added that if they had seen the photo, they definitely would not have published it, and that they would be more cautious in the future.

In the end, the rookie writer had not only refused to admit they were at fault, but even stubbornly published on a blog a claim that it was due to the poor performance from the police recently causing a reason for distrust that he had mistaken the “senior” officer for a newbie…with the word “senior” bolded.

As a result, the incident had led to another wave of discussion, with Yu Xia bearing the brunt of it. Thus, the higher-ups had specifically warned him to lie as low as possible for the time being so that the media could not grab him for their use. His criminal-seizing stunts had also been prohibited completely.

As a result, Yu Xia’s temper shortened even more, to the point where his own twin brother tried not to lecture about how dangerous his actions were anymore. Yu Xia’s group was also unusually quiet, as they no longer dared to cause any ruckus.

With these thoughts running through his head, Yan Si grabbed a pair of gloves, a hat, and his own bag. As he entered the crime scene, he discovered that Li Zi Hong was already there.

“Drinking in broad daylight?” Li Zi Hong raised a brow at Yan Si after catching a whiff of the alcohol as they stood close to each other. “Did you drive yourself?”

“As if. The seniors were the ones drinking. It’ll be even more hardcore later tonight.” Yan Si automatically lifted up his arm to smell it. As expected, there really was the faint scent of alcohol. He figured it had likely seeped through, especially since someone had accidentally spilled some on him earlier. “If you’re free, do you want to go together later? The seniors even called you out.”

Li Zi Hong helplessly shook his head. “I doubt I will be able to leave this case even by tomorrow night.”

“Looks like I’ll have to pass too then. Guess we can’t do anything about it…Also, didn’t you come too quickly? We just received the call. Has the highspeed rail started service on the roads now?” Based on his calculations, his former roommate that was even busier than he was should have arrived after him. Neither of them was always required to be at the crime scene, let alone have to urgently rush over like this.

“I just happened to be handling some things nearby, so I came straight here after receiving the call,” Li Zi Hong indifferently responded. He was already very accustomed to hearing the other person’s nonsensical quips. “Come over and take a look first.”

It was a common residence, more or less identical to the surrounding buildings: a four-story building covered in galvanized sheets of iron for enforced protection. Upon entering, the first thing to be seen was the many beverages laid out on the first floor, some piled even higher than their heads. A few of the officers that were making their way inside had made sure to pass cautiously, afraid of accidentally hitting one and having the whole thing collapse. For that matter, several had already fallen inside the room, so the scene was quite a mess.

Over the phone on his drive over, Yan Si had already learned of the owner’s occupation: a wholesale distributor for beverages that collaborated with the manufacturers to receive the bulk products and then ship out to nearby drink shops, breakfast joints, etc. in the nearby districts.

The dead body lying in the middle of the home just so happened to be said owner of the residence.

Male, 43 years old, 168 centimetres, medium build.

The wife and daughter who had come home later were currently standing outside and being interrogated by the police. They had gone out around eleven in the morning to go watch a movie. The man would typically not come home until after his rounds finished at two or three in the afternoon, so their home had been empty for a period. The neighbours in the area had not noticed any abnormalities or heard any disputes until around half past three when they had heard the loud crash of the box of drinks fall down. When they came over to check out the noise, they discovered that the man had already died, and quickly contacted the local police. About ten minutes later, the deceased’s wife and daughter had returned home.

Yan Si glanced at his watch. It was currently 4:17 PM.

“A large amount of blood loss.” Yan Si crouched down next to the stiffening body, shifting it slightly to perform a general inspection of its state and surrounding conditions. “The fatal injury was in the back. The wound appears to be inflicted from a sharp weapon. Looks like the first stab was to the cervical vertebra – the wound here looks clean and swiftly executed. Next was the cut at the carotid artery – this one appears to have had more drag resistance. There are also similar cuts on the arms that show resistance – these were injuries inflicted prior to death. The execution was very skilled. Based on the amount of blood and the livor mortis only just starting, the death should have occurred within the past two hours.”

“The scene is extremely messy, showing signs that they bumped into things during a fight. However, the neighbour’s testimonies all stated that they did not hear any disputes,” Li Zi Hong informed his late friend. He scanned the beverages that had spilled out of the knocked-over boxes all around them. Some had already burst open, covering the ground with milk and other drinks. “The cash on the deceased’s body is completely gone. The deceased’s wife and daughter just stated that he should not have had done anything to arouse dislike, so we cannot eliminate the possibility of this being a robbery homicide.”

“Knocked over during a fight, hm…?” Yan Si tilted his head in through as he rummaged through the body’s clothing. However, he did not see any bruises that would have formed upon impact. Just as he was about to continue onto the next step [of inspection], he heard some commotion from outside. When he turned his head, he saw Yu Xia wearing a foul expression as he pulled up the yellow tape and entered the home.

“The group of bastards outside just asked me if I had any thoughts about the mistake last time.” Yu Xia bent down next to the body and bitingly said to Yan Si, “They asked me how I felt about being mistaken as a newbie while at a crime scene!”

“…Just say ‘I use Songshan Pearl Powder to slow the splendour of aging so that everyone thinks I’m eighteen, and I aim to order the first ten products that are on 95% off promotion’, and you’ll be good.”

The only reason Yu Xia did not beat up the forensic investigator was because the prosecutor next to them immediately stopped it. Li Zi Hong shot a warning glare at Yan Si before leading the officer off to one side to explain the situation, leaving the corpse behind with Yan Si.

After inspecting the corpse and recording his results, Yan Si transferred the body over to a young female co-worker to transport it back to the lab.

At this point, Yu Xia and Li Zi Hong had already circled the scene once. The investigation officers had collected quite a few objects for evidence as well.

It was honestly difficult to navigate around the house with the multiple knocked-over boxes and canned beverages – to the point where one could say it was near impossible to move even a single step. Aside from the heavy odour of blood, there was also the sweet fragrance of some unknown drinks. When he quickly searched around, he saw that aside from drinks, the family also distributed some snacks and baked goods for sale as well, including jam-filled breads, which was where the sweet scent came from.

It was hot and stuffy inside. Although the air conditioning was on, it was not much use with the doors and windows constantly being opened by people walking in and out.

Jiu Shen approached the others who had temporarily paused. “I think these boxes and drinks fell after the death.”

“Oh?” Yu Xia surveyed the unbearably messy space before focusing on the investigation officer.

“There aren’t any bloodstains on the boxes of the canned beverages.” Jiu Shen pointed at a few of the objects and stated, “The blood was underneath the boxes and cans, which means the person fell first before the boxes. And carefully enough to not crush the deceased.” He and his group leader had noticed the cleanliness of the boxes the instant they had arrived.

“Understood. You can go back to work.” So the boxes were purposely pushed over to stage the scene…Yu Xia glanced to the far right side of the room where the upwards staircase was, likely leading to where the residents usually stayed. “I’ll go take a look upstairs.”

The local police station would have inspected the area upon arriving, but since the scene of the crime was the first level, the personnel had all gathered there to seal off the space. There were not many people upstairs, waiting for someone to go up and retrieve evidence in their idle time.

After informing the female owner, Yu Xia began to head towards the staircase. Just then, the prosecutor, and Yan Si who had been examining the corpse, suddenly bounded over too. “Boss, I’ll go up with you.”

“Do you have nothing to do?” Yu Xia gave a look at the person that showed zero signs of seriousness, then locked his gaze onto Yan Si’s gloves that still had blood on them. The expression on Yu Xia’s face made it clear that if the other touched his clothes, he would make sure Yan Si became the second corpse.

“I’m done, so I really don’t have anything to do now. The body is already being transferred; I’ll continue with the rest after going back.” Yan Si accepted the warning and chuckled as he changed his gloves, tossing them at a nearby officer and grabbing a new pair. “I want to take a look at their kitchen.”

“Kitchen?” Yu Xia led the way, picking up the high heels blocking their way.

“You know, just for the murder weapon~” Yan Si followed up the stairs as he said, “Based on the wound, it looks like a typical household kitchen knife. While I’m waiting for the body to be shipped back, might as well see if I can find any similar knives around here. If there are, I’ll have little Jiu Shen bring them back to analyse.”

Yu Xia nodded to indicate his understanding after hearing Yan Si’s explanation.

When they entered the second floor, it was much quieter.

Yu Xia briefly spoke to the officer standing next to the staircase. After confirming that there had been no abnormalities, he sent the officer downstairs to handle other matters.

Just like the first floor, there was nothing wrong here. The second floor was divided into the living room and the kitchen, with a bedroom around the corner. Further up on the third floor was supposedly where the other bedrooms were, as well as a fourth floor extension for a personal shrine and a balcony to hang out clothes.

Yu Xia circled around the floor once before heading up to the next level. This time, Yan Si did not follow, instead turning towards the kitchen.

Just as he had expected, it was a small kitchen that could not be anymore ordinary. It was so small that he suddenly felt like the kitchen at Yu Xia’s house was much more comfortable. There were a bunch of cabinets inside, so it was somewhat difficult for the two people to squeeze in. There was a narrow fire escape outside the kitchen window, but because the houses here all violated regulations, the fire escape did not hold much practical use as it was covered with a canopy to block out rain and was filled with junk. If a fire really did occur, the fire brigade would have been extremely pained to see such a state.

When Yan Si opened the cabinets and counted the kitchen knives lined up next to the door, he discovered that there really did seem to be the standard meat cleaver missing. However, it was possible that it had simply been placed somewhere else…

He shut the cabinet. Just as he was about to start searching other places for a knife that would fit the murder weapon conditions, he suddenly noticed a shadow seem to flicker outside the shut window.

He recalled that he had seen a cement balcony outside there from the first floor earlier, so there should not have been anything outside.

Although he thought this, he decided that he might as well open the window to let some fresh air in, since the smell of blood downstairs was so strong that he could smell it even up here.

Thus, Yan Si lazily pushed the window open.

Then, a head covered in blood appeared below the window. The half-dried blood covered the face, making it impossible to see the person’s original facial features. It was abnormally unusual.

Yan Si had not expected that the criminal would possibly be bold enough to stay around the crime scene and was startled by the sudden sight of the head, nearly breaking the window of the home that did not belong to him. However, after the initial shock, his instincts kicked in. Before the other person could turn and flee, he automatically reached down without thinking to grab the person’s collar, yanking forcefully to drag the person in.

It won’t be good if I let this kind of person escape into another residence. That was all Yan Si
