    Chapter 286: What Does Younger Brother Have in Mind?

    Night.

    The summer breeze felt as gentle as velvet.

    Criminal Investigation Team.

    “Where could this Liu Yunwei be hiding?”

    Munching on his food, Xiao Yu raised his slightly puzzled face toward the starry sky.

    “If you don’t finish your meal properly, I’m really going to beat you!”

    A melodious, tenderly alluring voice—like that of a graceful lady—pulled Xiao Yu’s focus back from the case.

    He glanced at the stunningly beautiful face beside him, a true vision of elegance.

    Even the most discerning eye couldn’t find a flaw in her figure or features.

    She was as immaculate as a water-lily swaying in the moonlit night of August.

    Wait, that’s my girl… Xiao Yu suddenly came to his senses and grinned foolishly at his older sister.

    “You dummy!”

    Mu Qingwu shot a coquettish glare at her silly brother, her smile unable to hide her charm.

    That smile only enhanced her breathtaking beauty, as if it were sprinkled with stardust.

    Radiant and dazzling!

    They say beauty is for those who admire it, and she never held back.

    Mu Qingwu just wanted to present her best side—giving her all for her brother.

    After wolfing down her meal, Xiao Yu grabbed his sister’s hand and dashed out the door.

    Haha… Mu Qingwu covered her mouth, laughing softly.

    She knew exactly what her little brother was up to!

    Inside the car.

    After passionately kissing his sister for ten minutes, Xiao Yu finally pulled Mu Qingwu into his arms and exclaimed, “I love that saying: when you’re happy, I’m happy too. Even if we fight, we never break up. I love you deeply, and you love me too—our love is open and low-key…Hey, stinky sister, you listening?”

    “Got it!”

    Mu Qingwu nestled in her brother’s embrace, her eyes shimmering with dreamy light.

    “Sis…”

    “What?”

    “The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.”

    “And then?”

    “You’re beautiful too, sis!”

    “…”

    “Haha!”

    Opening the car door, Xiao Yu bolted and ran back to the Criminal Investigation Team.

    Flirt and dash—how thrilling!

    “Ha!”

    Inside the car, Mu Qingwu chuckled as she watched her brother’s retreating figure.

    When you care about someone,

    you’re always tuned into their every emotion,

    not the glory or accolades they might bring.

    Their happiness is what truly makes you happy.

    Isn’t it so?

    ……

    The reason he didn’t linger with his sister a bit longer

    was that Xiao Yu’s Wax Moth’s Ear picked up a few startled shouts coming from within the Criminal Investigation Team.

    What on earth happened?

    “Boss, we’ve tracked the suspect Liu Yunwei’s location!”

    Guo Qiang reported excitedly.

    “That shouldn’t be possible!”

    Instead of excitement, Xiao Yu furrowed his brows.

    How could they have found him so quickly?

    If…

    the suspect is truly the so-called perfect criminal,

    finding him would ordinarily be an arduous task.

    An effort beyond what ordinary people could imagine!

    Why do I say that?

    In his previous life, even at the peak of his mental prowess, it took a full six months to catch that perfect criminal.

    Had he underestimated him, or was he just destined for greatness…? Snapping back to reality, Xiao Yu and his colleagues quickly boarded a police car.

    Three police cars sped out from the Criminal Investigation Team and raced towards a location.

    “Right after we issued the Wanted Notice, a citizen reported seeing suspect Liu Yunwei hiding somewhere.”

    Inside the car, Zhao Changshan grew visibly excited,

    thrilled at the prospect of cracking the case.

    No sooner had the notice been issued than someone spotted the suspect?

    Xiao Yu squinted his eyes.

    In his experience, even a perfect criminal leaves behind a trace, no matter how skilled at hiding.

    Not to mention, any unconventional methods would leave hardly any evidence.

    Did they really think a perfect criminal was a joke?

    Furthermore, Xiao Yu discovered something intriguing at Liu Yunwei’s home.

    The suspect wasn’t just adept at cross-dressing as a woman—he pulled it off flawlessly.

    The Wanted Notice issued by the Criminal Investigation Team still featured Liu Yunwei’s real face.

    If you were him, wouldn’t you choose to hide behind a disguise?

    Why not use makeup to throw people off your trail?

    Puzzled, Xiao Yu cast an odd glance at Zhao Changshan beside him.

    “What’s with that look?”

    As an experienced investigator, Zhao Changshan immediately sensed something off in his younger brother’s gaze.

    “Nothing.”

    Shaking his head, Xiao Yu grinned cheekily, “Just thinking, Boss, you actually have quite refined features.”

    Zhao Changshan: ???

    For him to say that about a man in his fifties—refined features?

    Damn, what is that little rascal planning?

    Zhao Changshan’s pupils dilated uncontrollably, his heartbeat quickening as a deep sense of caution welled up inside him.

    Seeing the boss so rattled, Xiao Yu almost burst out laughing.

    Damn, I still can’t shake off this cheeky habit!

    ……

    Forty minutes later, at a residential area on the outskirts of the city.

    The Criminal Investigation Team was conducting a routine check on issued firearms.

    Zhao Changshan swung his arm, and together with Xiao Yu, the team entered the residential complex.

    Target: Building 31, Unit 3, Room 401!

    Boom!

    The main door was violently crashed open.

    All the officers rushed in.

    Downstairs, Xiao Yu and Zhao Changshan waited with grim expressions.

    If more than a dozen Criminal Police were sent to apprehend one man and failed, then they were in deep trouble.

    Xiao Yu wasn’t worried because…

    he just couldn’t understand how the suspect was found so easily.

    If he could be located so effortlessly, it proved he had no special skills.

    Whether they went upstairs or not didn’t matter—the team wouldn’t be in danger.

    In the end… it turned out nearly as Xiao Yu had expected.

    After several minutes…

    A man was escorted out by two Criminal Police officers and brought before Xiao Yu and Zhao Changshan.

    Xiao Yu frowned as he looked at the man.

    That’s it.

    It really was the suspect Liu Yunwei.

    He had been seen just a few days ago.

    But… what made Xiao Yu frown was something peculiar.

    He couldn’t sense… that familiar aura from Liu Yunwei.

    The aura of a perfect criminal!

    Fake?

    No—the man before him was indeed the Liu Yunwei he’d met earlier.

    Under the Falcon’s Eye, that aura couldn’t be faked.

    And there was no chance of a twin.

    Xiao Yu was puzzled.

    What on earth was going on?

    That perfect criminal aura had suddenly vanished from him.
