Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 785 - 536: Extra Fresh Meat (3)

"Exactly!" Bai Ye laughed, "And Mayor Song Ziyu is ten years older than me. I didn’t tell you, my math was taught by a PE teacher!"

"Go away!" Su Tianqing snorted, then his expression became serious, "Bai Ye, what do you think, could the death of this village girl be a case where a teenage boy, unsuccessful in love, accidentally killed her and buried her on the spot, burying his toy with her out of guilt?"

"She has a name, please Mr. Su, you’re really calling her a village girl..." Bai Ye was speechless, "But, your theory still holds up, however, who is that boy? After ten years, he’s grown up, who knows where he is? By the way, Mr. Su, how come you have such sharp instincts for cases?"

"If one day I can’t make it in the business world anymore, I’ll just become a police officer." Su Tianqing was still a bit proud, of course, he knew in his heart, he was doing it for Song Ziyu—or maybe helping someone you love is about putting it into action.

Although sometimes he acts like that childish boy, awkwardly striving for Song Ziyu’s attention and love, he is still very clear about what should and should not be done.

Bai Ye bluntly reveals his motive: "You’re doing it for Mayor Song! The power of love is indeed mighty! Also, your eagerness to solve the case is definitely to outshine Professor Gan!"

Su Tianqing actually blushed slightly, having his hidden feelings exposed, he responded unyieldingly: "The power of love is indeed mighty, even becoming a cop means giving dolls, isn’t that cheesy!"

"Cough... My relationship with her is purely pristine, we haven’t even held hands..." Bai Ye turned and walked away: "Let’s go, let’s work on the case..."

Su Tianqing also walked out, "So, what were you up to when you were going through adolescence?"

The two walked forward, chatting together.

"Mr. Su, what were you doing when you were 25?" Bai Ye is currently 25, about the same age as Qiao Xiaoyan.

Su Tianqing was taken aback, he didn’t expect Bai Ye to ask this question, but he straightforwardly said, "I was with another girl!"

"You’re such a playboy! Now you are with Mayor Song!" Bai Ye slapped him on the shoulder.

Su Tianqing smiled faintly, not refuting, but he didn’t want to tell anyone that she is already a wisp of fragrance in another world!

He still hopes that she is living well in another world, the past will inevitably pass!

Ten years ago, he too had lived a life worse than death!

People who passed away are gone, in another world, will they also meet their most loved one?

"What were you doing when you were 15?" Su Tianqing asked him.

Bai Ye shrugged, "Studying. I was diligently studying, hoping to stand out."

"So, you gave your adolescence to your books!" Su Tianqing suddenly burst into laughter, "You’re still just a tender chicken!"

Bai Ye’s face turned red, then he threw a hard punch, "Su Tianqing, for a CEO like you, this is just ridiculous!"

"No, I’m just giving you proper advice, you can’t handle it yourself, right?" Su Tianqing looked at his large hand, "Your hands are rough from holding guns all the time, it must be uncomfortable!"

"I’m disgusted!" Bai Ye made a vomiting gesture, "Su Tianqing you’re too nauseating!"

"This is normal physiological knowledge! Just by looking I can tell, you don’t understand anything!" Su Tianqing laughed.

Bai Ye did not hesitate to retort sarcastically, "Just looking at you, you’ve been held back by Mayor Song! All you have is theories!"

Damn! Su Tianqing wanted to cry but had no tears.

The two teased each other as they walked along, passing by a school where they saw the principal singing with the children.

Su Tianqing said: "Bai Ye, the principal has been here for a long time, we can go ask her if she knows anything about making toys with screws!"

"Sounds good!" Bai Ye walked over.

"Principal, still singing to the children!" Bai Ye looked at her, "Could I take a bit of your time?"

"Sure!" the principal was very enthusiastic and then told the children to go home. The three of them sat down under a big tree. The principal nodded at Su Tianqing and then looked at Bai Ye: "What is it? Can I help you with something?"

At this moment, Bai Ye took out a screw, "Principal, could you please help us recall, ten years ago, were there any toys made with this type of screw? Were there any students who liked playing with them?"

The principal smiled, "In the school’s storage room, we still have them! Come on! I’ll take you to see!"

"Really? That’s great!" Bai Ye punched Su Tianqing on the shoulder, "Su really guessed it right!"

Su Tianqing was also quite proud, "Of course, just see who’s on the case. Our evidence is surely more formidable than that beast!"

The three of them went to the school’s storage room. This room had not been opened for a long time, and when the door was opened, there was a moldy smell.

After all, Su Tianqing is a spoiled rich kid; talking about handling a case and actually doing manual labor are two different things.

Bai Ye went inside and took several different toys, all made of wood and quite aged, including hand-made pinwheels, cars, and dolls. Though all wooden, the craftsmanship was indeed exceptional!

"I’ll take a sample first and have it sent for examination to see if it’s the same type of material that rotted at the quarry," Bai Ye had a police officer send the sample to the city forensics department. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Su Tianqing and the principal had met once or twice before and, given that he invested in the school, the principal had a good impression of him, so they started chatting.

"Principal, do you know of any craftsmen in town who like making these handcrafted toys?" Su Tianqing asked.

"This is the only one, none other," the Principal smiled slightly, "However, these inherited crafts are gradually falling into obscurity. There is a craftsman, Yang Ji, probably over seventy years old now, he’s blind, and his children are not willing to continue the craft, so he stopped making them..."

"Thank you!" Su Tianqing noted down the address and name and then went to find Bai Ye. "I found out about this; let’s go see craftsman Yang."

Bai Ye looked at him, "Hey, you’re getting more and more professional!"

"Of course!" said Su Tianqing as he mounted a motorcycle.

When Bai Ye was about to sit on the back, he said, "You ride your own, it’s weird for two men to ride together!"

"My preferences are perfectly normal, what’s so weird? It’s you who’s not pure minded!" Bai Ye snorted and sat behind anyway, "By the way, Su, Mayor Song is talented and good-looking, why do you want to divorce her?"

"Her father’s company produced a batch of defective products that killed my girlfriend during surgery," Su Tianqing satisfied his curiosity.

Bai Ye looked at the back of his head and then slapped his shoulder hard: "A true man knows when to let go, Su, I always thought you were just a rich Spoiled Rich Kid, born with a silver spoon, but at this moment, I feel..."

"Feel what about me?" Su Tianqing started the motorcycle and headed towards Yang Ji’s home.

"I think you’re not bad!" Bai Ye laughed, "At least you’ve done some very genuine and substantive things!"

Su Tianqing suddenly accelerated, "So you despised me before? And I thought we were brothers!"

"No offense taken!" Bai Ye’s laughter melded with the wind.

...

Yang Ji’s home was easy to find, as his house also has a unique architectural style.

This might just be one of the signatures of his being a craftsman of wooden toys.

After Bai Ye and Su Tianqing arrived, Su Tianqing took up observing their home, while Bai Ye chatted with old master Yang Ji.

"Grandpa, we are police officers, and we would like to learn about some old matters. Who did you sell your handcrafted wooden toys to?" Bai Ye straightforwardly asked.
