Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)

For the sake of keeping a low profile, they chose not to drive the police car. Out of the three people, Kang Guanyu’s driving skill was notorious for making people get light concussion afterwards, Tak Jung-Hwa was still not familiar with the road yet, and thus the important task of being the driver could only fall on Mu Yuze’s head.

Even before they set out on their mission, they already encountered a problem – seating position.

Tak Jung-Hwa had just wanted to slip into the shotgun seat when Mu Yuze pointed at the back, his tone bitingly cold. "You sit there."

The corner of Tak Jung-Hwa’s twitched and he looked like he wanted to say something. But in the end, he merely shrugged and opened the door to the passenger seat.

"Psst, Mu Yuze." Kang Guanyu inched closer when he saw that Tak Jung-Hwa had already settled inside the car. "Did something happen between you and Jung-Hwa hyung? Why am I sensing some kind of hostility here?"

Whenever Mu Yuze thought of how Tak Jung-Hwa had declared to track down and capture He Juan with his own hands, intense enmity and malice brewed within his dark eyes. However, he was not the kind of person who let his personal emotions get in the way of work. No matter how much he despised Tak Jung-Hwa, the entire City Bureau had acknowledged his skill, and he was even sent here by the Interpol. Mu Yuze knew that he could not make a ruckus, and hence he opted to keep a close watch on Tak Jung-Hwa to prevent him from seeing Juan-gege instead. Alas, who could have guessed that they would be working together so soon?

"Nothing of the sort," he told Kang Guanyu.

’But your grumpy face doesn’t look like it’s nothing though?!’ was what Kang Guanyu wished he could scream out loud. But for fear that he would make the atmosphere more tense than what it already was, he could only swallow his words and chuckled dryly, "Okay, fine. So... I’m sitting in the front?"

Much to his surprise, Mu Yuze firmly shook his head. "You sit on the back with him."

Kang Guanyu: "..."

"Hmm?" Tak Jung-Hwa raised a brow when he saw Kang Guanyu climb into the seat beside him with a wilted look. "You’re banished here too?" he teased with laughter in his tone.

Mu Yuze heard his words in time when he slipped into the driver seat. "Don’t think too much," he said whilst turning on the engine. "The front seat is reserved for my Alpha."

"Oh!" Kang Guanyu’s gossip radar was activated and he forgot his sadness right away. He hooked his arms around the shotgun’s seat headrest and stretched his neck forward like a giraffe, his eyes glittering in curiosity. "Your Alpha? Are you talking about Mr. He? Hehehe, I never pegged you as a passionate lover. Have you two... you know..." his gaze landed on the bandage around Mu Yuze’s neck, the meaning behind it obvious.

"Mr. He?" Tak Jung-Hwa sounded intrigued as well.

"Still courting," Mu Yuze gave a curt reply before switching the topic. "Where are we going? Brief me about the case."

Just like that, Kang Guanyu’s attention was instantly distracted. After he told Mu Yuze the address of the nursing home, he proceeded to talk about what had happened when the latter was absent; Wu Yuan’s blood and urine test that proved the traces of AX–03 in his system, his sudden differentiation, the discovery of Qin Zhen’s corpse and how they came to know about the existence of the imposter.

He talked for fifteen minutes straight without stopping, not showing any signs of exhaustion at all. His voice was lively and animated, and he even included his own theory and conspiracy. That’s why even though Mu Yuze and Tak Jung-Hwa did not talk, the atmosphere in the car was not awkward at all.

Mu Yuze stepped on the brake when they neared the red traffic lights, his brows furrowed. "Wu Yuan is hospitalized in Yuyang Hospital Center...?"

For some inexplicable reason, he had a bad feeling about this. Juan-gege was drugged with AX-03 and the next day, Wu Yuan suddenly underwent his secondary gender manifestation? Moreover, the same drug was found in his body as well?

The more Mu Yuze thought about it, the more he felt like this could not be a mere coincidence. He wanted to at least tell He Juan about it, but he recalled that He Juan was in the ICU ward where phones were not allowed. On the other hand, the only person whom he could possibly rely on was currently down with fever...

"What’s wrong, Mu Yuze?"

Kang Guanyu’s voice snapped him out of his reverie. He glanced into the rearview mirror and saw that Tak Jung-Hwa was staring at him as well, his expression carefully neutral. He averted his gaze expressionlessly. No, one of Juan-gege’s enemies was here, he could not possibly divulge anything in front of Tak Jung-Hwa.

"Nothing," he said in the end. "Just got back from Yuyang Hospital Center, but I didn’t know Wu Yuan was there."

Kang Guanyu became worried again. "You’re really fine right?"

Mu Yuze gave a noncommittal hum and did not intend to say anything more.

Just in time, the phones of the three people buzzed at the same time. Kang Guanyu and Tak Jung-Hwa pulled out their phones to check. "Woah, there has really been a huge withdrawal in Qin Zhen’s bank account. The date is..." he let out a surprised cry. "Six months ago! Damn... it’s way earlier than our estimation again!"

At first, they thought that the imposter replaced Qin Zhen four months ago, then the bartender’s statement broke their hypothesis and proved that the imposter had already taken over Qin Zhen’s identity five months ago, and now... through the bank transaction record, they discovered again that suspicious movements had already been detected as early as six months ago!

Kang Guanyu clicked his tongue. "This imposter is really so damn vicious, they withdrew all of the money in Qin Zhen’s account and only dumped a small portion of it to the nursing home. Where did the rest go? Oh God... it’s six million RMB we are talking about! How can Qin Zhen be so rich? I haven’t even seen so much money in my life!" One second, he could not stop cursing the imposter for being cruel and heartless, and the next second, he bemoaned about his meager wage that hindered him from living a life in luxury.

"Have they checked the surveillance record in the bank?" Tak Jung-Hwa asked. To withdraw such a huge amount of money, the imposter had to go to the bank in person. The CCTV cameras must have caught them.

Sure enough, Kang Guanyu gave an OK gesture. "Don’t worry, our bros are working on it!"

Fifteen minutes later, the car smoothly entered a community gate and stopped in front of a three-story building with a sign that hung in front – Heping Nursing Home. It was a simple yet beautiful building with a lush garden outside. From the car, they could see nurses supporting a few elderly people as they strolled around in leisure. The atmosphere was very serene and tranquil. However, no matter how beautiful it was on the outside, this was still the place where the imposter had especially visited. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

What did that person come here for? They might be able to find out the answer soon.

"Let’s go go go!" Kang Guanyu was pumped up with energy, treating this visit like a field trip instead of an investigation mission, and the other two could only follow behind with a helpless look.
