Di Lili lightly shook his head, she did not know if she should deny it or not, but after a while she said: "I can help you look through the records, to see if there are any valuable clues."

"I'd like to do it myself, if I may." Deng Fan made a request.

"This is against the rules. Let me do it …" Di Lili rejected Deng Fan's request.

"Alright, how long do you need?" Deng Fan did not express any objections and asked anxiously.

"I will contact you as soon as I can." Di Lili said.

Deng Fan nodded his head: "Then I'll wait for your news." As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Leaving so soon?" Di Lili asked, "Not much to talk about?"

"This is the office, of course it's business, do you have any private matters you want to talk to me about?" Deng Fan stared at Di Lili and asked.

Di Lili laughed awkwardly, and said: "No … You guys go ahead, I won't be sending you off. "

"No need to send me off. Hurry up and get busy. I hope I won't have to wait too long." After Deng Fan finished speaking, he called Su Xiaobei to open the door and leave.

After the two of them returned to the car, Su Xiaobei could not help but ask, "Master, does Sister Li like you?"

"What's so strange about that?" Deng Fan said as a matter of fact, "Even beauties like me! Don't you like me, too? "

"No …" I mean... She looks at you in a different way than others, don't you guys … Su Xiaobei pointed with her finger a few times. Feeling that some things were hard to say, he did not continue.

When Deng Fan heard this, he recalled the scene where he was passionately entangled with Di Lili, and could not help but think back to it. We're just friends. Maybe it's because I helped her solve two big cases, so she's grateful to me in her heart! "

Hearing Deng Fan's words, Su Xiaobei did not ask anymore, but she still felt that it was weird, and just did not know how to express it. Language was a unique communication method for humans, but language was not omnipotent, because there were many subtle feelings that could only be understood and not conveyed. This might be the flaw of language, but it was precisely because of this flaw that people were even more enigmatic.

One night, Di Lili and Deng Fan met again at the contact point.

It had to be said that this snack bar run by the Wu brothers provided a good environment for the two of them to talk. Because the people who came to eat at this restaurant were usually ordinary people, no one would pay attention to Deng Fan and Di Lili who had special identities.

The two of them only needed two drinks before they began their formal conversation.

"I've already investigated it. There are very few clues regarding the murder case that year." Di Lili said dejectedly, "To put it bluntly, there is only one clue."

"What is it?"

"This is it." Di Lili said as she took out a small object that was stored in a plastic bag from her pocket.

"This is …" Deng Fan took a look and discovered that it was a bullet!

"That's right, this bullet is the only one." Di Lili nodded.

"Are there really only these bullets?" Deng Fan was in disbelief.

"Really." Di Lili said, "I still secretly took the bullet out, other than that I don't have any other clues."

"Didn't you investigate the electronic eye footage in the vicinity at that time?" Deng Fan asked.

"Yes, but nothing." Di Lili spread her hands and showed a helpless expression.

After Deng Fan heard this, he held his head and thought for a moment. Then, he stared at the bullet in his hand that was inside the plastic bag and asked, "Can I keep this bullet for myself?"

"If you want it, then take it, but I don't think it's of any use." Di Lili spoke very casually.

Deng Fan nodded his head and carefully stuffed the plastic bag into his pocket.

"That's all I can do." Di Lili said.

"I'm already grateful that you're willing to help me." Deng Fan said, "If it's necessary, I might ask for your help."

"No problem, just treat it as me paying you back a favor." Di Lili said.

"It's hard to trace a murder that happened ten years ago." Deng Fan could not help but frown, his expression not looking optimistic.

"Oh right, why did you suddenly want to investigate this case?" Di Lili asked curiously.

"I was entrusted by someone." Deng Fan said.

"Your Young Miss?" Di Lili guessed.

"Yes."

"Oh, I suppose so." Di Lili nodded and did not speak further, as though she was deep in thought.

"Since everything is done by human means, I will definitely do my best." Deng Fan said with a stern expression.

"You only have one bullet in your hand, how are you going to get it?" Di Lili tried to test the waters.

"I looked at it just now, this isn't an ordinary bullet, it should be specially made by someone from some organisation." Deng Fan said, "As long as we can find that organization, we can reduce the scope of the investigation."

"Indeed, I think so too." Di Lili nodded in agreement, "But I've searched through a lot of information, but still couldn't find any information related to this bullet."

"If it was that easy to find, the case would have been solved long ago." Deng Fan said.

"That's true."

"I want to go back and investigate. Do you have anything else you want to tell me?" Deng Fan got up after he finished speaking.

"Since you're in such a hurry to solve the case, Miss Wang must have given you a lot of benefits, right?" Di Lili guessed.

Deng Fan laughed awkwardly, he was truly embarrassed to answer that question, because Wang Xinyu's reward was handing him over to him, and it would be the same as betrothing him to him. If Di Lili knew, he would definitely be jealous, so she could only reply half-heartedly: "Actually, there weren't any benefits, I only stood up for justice, you don't want the murderer to get away from me, right?"

"Alright, I wish you success and that you can solve this case as soon as possible!" Di Lili took the lead and stood up.

"Thank you for your words. I will definitely not let the young miss and you down." Deng Fan also stood up, promising with a serious expression.

After returning home, Deng Fan immediately used all the resources he could use online. After many investigations and matching, in the end, his efforts paid off as he found the organization that made the bullet.

Not many people knew about it. Deng Fan had coincidentally discovered a bullet with a strange pattern on it when he was on mission in Africa, so he knew about the existence of that organization. As for its internal structure and personnel, he had no idea either.

Deng Fan had seen many bullets that had an organization emblem carved on them, so he was unable to recall them at the moment. However, after looking up the information on the bullets, he was able to confirm his suspicions.

Deng Fan was sure that the culprit was from that mysterious organization, but the question was, why did the culprit infiltrate the Wang Family?

"Is it because of the T-virus?" Deng Fan's heart suddenly shook, and he blurted out.

He knew that his judgement wasn't impossible. If it really was like that, then that assassin from before must have come for the poison as well. Maybe he was the same person who killed Wang Xinyu's mother!

Thinking of that, Deng Fan slowly formed the thought that as long as he took the T-virus first, he might be able to lure the culprit out!

"That's right, the most effective way now is to lure the snake out of its cave!" Deng Fan made up his mind, and did indeed do so.

Everyone has something to fear, which is one of the weaknesses of human nature.

However, the weakness could also be overcome, or it could be hidden very deeply. As long as one did not reveal it, no one would be able to discover it.

When Deng Fan asked Wang Ming what he was most afraid of, Wang Ming replied like this.

"I'm afraid a lot of people will laugh at me." Wang Ming said in an embarrassed tone and deliberately lowered his voice, not daring to look at Deng Fan directly: "I … I'm afraid of cockroaches … "

Deng Fan was surprised, but he was not surprised, and said indifferently: "This is nothing, just like people who are afraid of caterpillars, although most of them are girls."

"Yeah, I'm probably the only man that's afraid of cockroaches." Wang Ming could not help but feel inferior.

"You're definitely not the only one." Deng Fan said, "But have you ever thought of overcoming this fear?"

"What does this have to do with picking up girls?" Wang Ming asked.

"No direct connection." Deng Fan said, "But as long as you can overcome the fear in your heart, you will have the courage to do something that you didn't dare to do before. For example, to confess to your goddess."

"Really?" Wang Ming was overjoyed upon hearing this, "To be honest, even though I have practiced those monologues that I had thought of many times, I still did not have the courage to say it in front of Keke!"

"How about this!" Deng Fan made a decision, "I'll bring you to a place tomorrow and let you train your courage. If you succeed, then congratulations to you, you have already overcome the fear in your heart, you can do anything you want."

"Where are you going?" Wang Ming asked curiously.

"You'll know once you get there." Deng Fan did not immediately explain, but chose to keep it a secret for the time being.

The second night, Deng Fan brought Wang Ming to a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city. He pointed at the house and said: "You just need to stay there for one night and you will succeed."

"Isn't this the rumored haunted house?" Wang Ming looked at the dilapidated house in front of him, and could not help but shiver. His lips trembled slightly as he said, "You mean I should train my courage in the haunted house?"

"How is this a haunted house? It's just a run-down building." Deng Fan said, "I do not need you to stay for the night, you can just stay inside for an hour."

"An hour?" Wang Ming was still somewhat resistant to it, but under Deng Fan's pressure, he could only agree with difficulty: "I think there should be no problems!"

"Then don't dawdle, hurry up and enter!" After Deng Fan finished speaking, he pushed Wang Ming from the back.

The moment Wang Ming entered the house, he suddenly heard a series of trembling sounds. It turned out that Deng Fan had sealed the door from the outside.

The room was empty except for a dusty iron bed and a few scraps. There was practically nothing intact. All of these were not enough to scare people, but there was something inside that could move. To be more precise, it was not a thing, but a cockroach that made Wang Ming inexplicably fear it.

Not just one or two of these cockroaches, but a room full of them!

They were crawling and flying around like headless flies, as if they had already occupied the entire room and had become its owners!

Seeing this, Wang Ming could no longer remain calm. He immediately turned around and slammed the door, and hysterically shouted, "Help, help! Brother Fan, quickly let me out, let me out! "

Although Deng Fan was right outside, he pretended not to hear anything as he sat down on the steps and leisurely played with his phone.

In the beginning, Wang Ming who was locked in his room filled with cockroaches was simply too scared to the point of breaking down. He was even more afraid of the cockroaches that flew in all directions when he saw them, than if he had seen ghosts. But gradually, he began to calm down. He slowly walked to the iron bed in the corner, wiped off the edges with a tissue, and then sat down on the bed.
