“Director Gao, I need to keep.” Ji Fanyang stated as Director Gao shut the psychologist’s door. 

Gao Zhengcheng sighed: “Xiao Jing doesn’t like when individuals observe. Furthermore, in the event you’re there, Lu Hui can be distracted.”

Ji Fanyang contemplated for some time, then requested: “Then, might I’m going check out the crime scene?”

“The corpse is with Dr. Wu. How about you go check out the corpse first.” Director Gao stated. 

“Understood, I’ll go.” Ji Fanyang circled and left.
