Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

Chapter 143 The mysterious white-haired man is...

"Excuse me, Miss Susan: Is the man you recently asked your friends and colleagues to investigate related to you or anyone close to you?"

"Ma'am, why... do you ask this?" Susan's expression remained unchanged, but her fingers gripping the cup secretly tightened. She smiled and asked Madam Jane, "Could it be that the person I'm looking for happens to have the same characteristics as the person you need to investigate?

But in New Eridu, white hair and red eyes are not considered rare features."

"Coincidence? Hmm~ maybe." Ms. Jane had a faint smile on her lips.

After a few brief exchanges, the atmosphere between the two people, which seemed calm, began to surge with undercurrents.

"Ms. Susan, you haven't said anything about finding that "coincidentally" white-haired man. What is his relationship with you?

Is it inconvenient to tell me?" Ms. Jane held the spoon in her hand and stirred the half-cold coffee carelessly.

“Oh, this… is indeed a bit difficult to talk about.

However, I don’t think the person I’m looking for has anything to do with Ms. Jane’s case.

Well, if possible, could you give me a little bit of details about the case you're investigating?

This will prevent us from misleading you, Madam, by misleading you without your knowledge." Susan smiled and winked at Madam Jane, pinching her pinky finger to make a 'little bit' gesture.

"Miss Susan, you're putting me in a difficult position." Ms. Jane pretended to frown slightly, looked at Susan with some embarrassment, then made up her mind, leaned over the table, and whispered to Susan, "Since we have such similar personalities, I'll secretly reveal some insignificant information to you."

"'Similar temperaments'? This guy is much better at lying with his eyes open than I am." Susan secretly cursed in her heart.

"Miss Susan, you might have heard that the bureau recently handled a major case. However, it involved a wide range of issues, including the military. So, the leaders of both sides held a long meeting.

The person I want to investigate is a very important witness in this case.

The military, the higher-ups, and the enemy whose interests have been damaged are all looking for him.

And at such a critical moment, Miss Susan, you're also looking for someone with such matching characteristics. It's really hard not to overthink it.

So Miss Susan, whether you are a relative, friend, or enemy of this person.

It's best to tell me everything you know, otherwise you might get dragged into big trouble by this person.

We're not so bad in our own department, but we're mainly worried about the military being unreasonable, not to mention the enemies hiding in the shadows."

"Is this such a serious case?" Susan covered her mouth with her hands and said in shock, "Impossible! ! ?

How could the guy I know be involved in something so horrible??!

He's just a street urchin with a bit of power!!"

"......?" Ms. Jane looked at Susan's expression suspiciously, and hesitated for a second.

Although Snowy Owl did seem to be a homeless person, his unusual demeanor meant he couldn't be mistaken for a street urchin, right?

"How about you, Miss Susan, tell me first, what is your relationship with the person you are looking for, and why are you looking for him?

And this guy, when did he start to disappear? "Ms. Jane sat up straight, took out a notebook, and began to show a businesslike attitude.

“This is really…how can I put it?

If everyone in the bureau knew about this, it would definitely become a laughing stock." Susan took a sip of coffee from the cup to disguise it. Her eyes began to wander, not daring to meet Ms. Jane's gaze, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

Ms. Jane looked at the person before her with a puzzled expression. In a split second, she switched from elite sheriff to a young woman in love. She had a feeling that the news she was about to hear would be very different from what she wanted to know.

Ms. Jane silently picked up the cold coffee and took a sip, deciding to listen first.

Susan apologized for three seconds in her heart to Bai Yu and Fu Fu's "brother" whom she had never met, and then began to put the blame on him without any psychological burden.

"The man I was actually looking for was... my boyfriend who was a scammer online. He took some money from me and then suddenly disappeared."

"Poof!! Cough cough!" Ms. Jane turned her head and spat out the coffee in her mouth.

She took out a tissue and covered her mouth in a rare and awkward manner. Her large, thick black-framed glasses had slipped down from her nose, revealing Ms. Jane's beautiful green eyes, which were wide open in shock and looked round.

"Are you okay?" Susan felt a sense of peace at the sudden reaction of the once imposing woman. She had a rough idea of ​​the person she wanted to investigate, and decided to portray Bai Yu's brother in a more exaggerated way.

"Ahem. I'm fine. It's just that the person Miss Susan described is slightly different from the one I investigated. Ahem, please continue."

By the way, do you mind if I record this?" Ms. Jian quickly recovered from her gaffe. She wasn't surprised by a simple online romance scam.

But perhaps influenced by preconceived notions, Ms. Jane originally thought that the person Susan was looking for was most likely the Snowy Owl. So, once she brought the idea of ​​a man with a cold temperament and dislike of being approached into Susan's description...

Ms. Jane swore that this was definitely the biggest challenge to her facial expression management. She had to use all her life's professional ethics to barely suppress the corners of her mouth that were trying to curl up.

As for how much Ms. Jane believed Susan's words, that is a question mark.

Although Susan tried her best to conceal her appearance and acted normal, she was still far from being in front of Ms. Jian, who had been hiding her identity and conducting undercover missions for many years.

If Ms. Jane had only three points of doubt at the beginning about whether the person Susan was looking for was the Snowy Owl, now it has risen to seven points.

Thinking of this, Ms. Jane, who had just been cheated, took out a recorder without hesitation and decided to record the entire testimony of Miss Susan, who should be her friend.

"Miss Susan, could you please repeat it?

Just start with that sentence about ‘online scamming boyfriend’…” Ms. Jane held up her reflective glasses to hide the malicious smile that was about to overflow from her eyes.

Small Theater

Jane Du: Miss Susan, can you act that out again? That...the relationship between you two (suppressed laughter)

Susan: ...Um, you mean "online boyfriend"?

Jane Doe: Hahahahahaha!! (Laughs so hard he bangs his head on the table)

Bai Zhi, who currently knows nothing: Ahem.

Hmm? Why do I feel a chill on my back? (Handsome guy is puzzled)
