Peng Wenyin nodded his head, ”Of course, how could he be willing to give up on such an outstanding student? Xiao He, you're a genius at criminal investigation.”

Xiao He waved his hand and hurriedly said, ”Don't praise me. I'm not some genius.”

On the surface, Xiao He joked with Peng Wenyin, but his heart was very disappointed. Ever since the clown cannibalism case three years ago, Xiao He was provoked and refused to accept the murder case. Thus, he decisively left the task force and became a normal traffic police officer.

Xiao He looked out of the window and thoughtfully said, ”Every time I see a person being thrown out of a car or crushed to death by a car, I would recall that bloody scene from three years ago.”

Peng Wenyin took a deep breath to express his understanding. After thinking for a moment, he nodded his head and said, ”I know that it was too big of an impact on you. But we need you. Ling An City needs you.”

In order to hide his emotions, Xiao He immediately revealed a smile. ”With you, the number one criminal police officer in all fields of forensic psychology, what case would be able to trouble you?”

Peng Wenyin pressed down on Xiao He's hand that was about to take out the cup. He looked at Xiao He with a serious expression and said, ”We really need you, really.”

Xiao He rarely saw Peng Wenyin like this. He wrinkled his eyebrows and tilted his head to avoid Peng Wenyin's gaze, looking at the crowd outside the window. After thinking for a moment, he said, ”Okay, I'll go back. But I have a condition.”

Peng Wenyin finally let out a sigh of relief. His expression relaxed: ”What condition?”

”I want all the information on the clown case from three years ago. I suspect that he is not dead, or that he has an accomplice.” Xiao He said.

Peng Wenyin also became nervous, ”Impossible, his execution definitely won't happen anymore.”

Xiao He shook his head and slowly said, ”No, he's still here. ”Moreover, I can feel that he's right beside me …”
