Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 547 The High Quality Unique to Ordinary Office Workers
When the first batch of personnel from the processing bureau arrived, they had no time to take care of the still-shaken Mo Mang and hurriedly followed the trail to chase after Luo Shi and his gang.

A little later, Mo Mang met an acquaintance.

"Miss Lin Yilin?"

"You've really worked hard." Lin Yilin looked at the dilapidated truck, and although she wanted to say something, all that remained was a word of sympathy.

Mo Mang finally calmed down a lot, but he looked at the toast still embedded in the glass: "But the toast..."

"It's nothing, as long as it wasn't torn to pieces and can't be found again." Lin Yilin glanced at it, then went up and pulled out the toast. "We replenished the flour in time, although the amount wasn't much, it's enough."

"Are you secretly gloating and taking pleasure in others' misfortunes?" Zheng Fan, who was right next to her, keenly sensed Binary Girl's emotions.

"How could I have such feelings about a piece of toast?" Binary Girl said, shaking the flat, limp piece of toast in her hand.

Zheng Fan took the toast from Lin Yilin and stuffed it directly into a large bag of flour that he had prepared so that he could rest and recuperate.

"You should be lively and energetic again in a while. I'm cooperating with the investigation by the authorities, so I've temporarily taken over your questioning duties. Come with me," Lin Yilin said to Mo Mang, who was getting out of the car shakily.

Mo Mang glanced at the processing bureau team not far away and saw Shiraishi, the chief of the Xixi Keke neighborhood, whom he occasionally saw on the news.

Bai Shi seemed to notice Mo Mang's scrutinizing gaze, looked over, and nodded slightly in greeting.

This made Mo Mang feel flattered.

"At least you managed to steal a truck and break out in that situation, helping the authorities to re-establish the criminal gang's whereabouts. In comparison, you're just an ordinary person. Your courage is commendable. Given Chief Shiraishi's personality, he'll probably personally commend you afterward," Lin Yilin said upon seeing this.

Mo Mang shook his head: "Public commendations are fine, but if there are physical rewards, just send them directly. If it's too conspicuous, I'll feel uncomfortable."

Mo Mang's idea is not surprising. Many people who get involved in this kind of thing don't like to attract too much attention.

Although public recognition has its advantages, Mo Mang does not expect such benefits.

If there were any bonuses or anything that could help his work make a little more progress, that would be great.

If he really wanted to, he could have opened his own firm after receiving the public recognition, gaining considerable attention in the initial stages. What happens afterward wouldn't matter; he'd certainly make a quick buck.

However, Mo Mang had never really thought that way.

After greeting the people from the processing bureau, Lin Yilin left the scene with Mo Mang. Mo Mang was amazed to see the people from the processing bureau nodding to Lin Yilin and not asking any questions about how she, the person involved, was being taken away.

Although he later discussed Ms. Lin Yilin's identity with other people on the Zero subway line, he learned about her identity from them.

It's not hard to find out. Zero One Detective Agency is at its peak right now; it would be strange if you couldn't find it if you really wanted to.

However, seeing firsthand how respectful the people from the Bureau of Justice were to Ms. Lin Yilin, and how they did not hinder her actions at all, it was hard for Mo Mang, an ordinary person, not to be surprised.

"Do you need something to eat? It's almost noon." Lin Yilin and Zheng Fan walked side by side, but Zheng Fan was not visible to the average person, so they could only see Lin Yilin carrying a sack of toast and walking ahead of them.

"I still have some ingredients I bought yesterday that I haven't finished processing, and I plan to eat them today." Mo Mang didn't say anything like "anything is fine," but simply raised her head slightly to state her original plan.

Lin Yilin glanced back at him and said, "Well then, if you have enough ingredients, treat me to a meal."

"Eh……"

This young lady was certainly impolite, but that didn't affect his planned schedule.

Mo Mang felt a little pressured when he was told that he had to cook for Miss Lin Yilin: "I only know how to cook very ordinary home-style dishes."

"Home-cooked meals are fine; I'm not that picky about food."

……

Mo Mang invited Lin Yilin and Zheng Fan to his home. It was a reasonably nice apartment, but the furnishings were very simple. It was difficult to discern the resident's personality traits from the apartment at a glance... or perhaps that was a characteristic in itself.

Pragmatism, keeping everything simple. He lives alone, but he has kept photos of his family, a couple as ordinary as Mo Mang, whose background suggests they live in a rural area on the outskirts of the capital.

Apart from that, it's hard to see the thought or effort the homeowner put into this house.

Lin Yilin instinctively gathered information until her gaze shifted to the kitchen, where she sensed a more lived-in atmosphere. The kitchen was full of traces; bottles and jars of seasonings were all present and used, indicating frequent use.

It seems that this is one of Mo Mang's few hobbies: cooking at home.

Mo Mang took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started a fire.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, chicken with mushrooms, green vegetables, and seaweed soup.

It's that simple.

"It really is very home-style," Lin Yilin said, looking at the dishes on the table.

"That's all I know."

Zheng turned his head and said, "Home-cooked dishes are often more appetizing, and I want to eat them too."

Then he started to tamper with the dishes, making sure that they wouldn't jump up and bite him, so that he could eat them.

Before Zheng Fan could conjure chopsticks, Lin Yilin picked up a piece of meat and handed it to him, saying, "Ah~."

Zheng Fan: "..."

Ugh.

I initially wanted to refuse, but upon closer reflection, there didn't seem to be any compelling reason to do so.

Mo Mang watched as Lin Yilin fed food to the air. Although he knew there was something he couldn't see, possibly even Mr. Zheng Fan, the scene was still too bizarre. He didn't say much, just focused on eating.

To be honest, the food wasn't bad.

But it wasn't anything particularly amazing. Even though this is one of the few things Mo Mang can call an interest, it doesn't mean that having an interest means you have to do it very well.

Not to mention that due to time constraints, Mo Mang can only cook a limited number of dishes most of the time.

I can cook enough for two or more meals by myself in one sitting.

Lin Yilin put her phone on speakerphone to play Zheng Fan's voice, so that her interaction with Zheng Fan wouldn't seem like she was mentally ill in Mo Mang's eyes.

It still looks very strange.

The food was quickly finished for the three of them. Mo Mang put the dishes in the dishwasher, wiped the table clean, and then sat back down.

"Is this bank robbery not as simple as it seems?" Mo Mang looked at Lin Yilin, then at the phone playing Zheng Fan's voice, and asked proactively.

"Yes, we already had a basic suspicion before we came to you. You seem to have figured something out as well?"

"Is someone behind the scenes a government insider?" Mo Mang asked, looking at the table he had just wiped clean.

"how you said that?"

"These robbers didn't seem to be short of money; the huge sum they robbed was for trading something else. From Shi Yu's perspective, when he learned of Yi Feiyu's death, Yi Feiyu could only have been killed by the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. There are no civilian forces in Xixi Keke that dare to challenge the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics now. Of course, it's possible that I'm just unaware of this, but in my opinion, under these circumstances, only people within the official system could help Shi Yu clarify his revenge target, or even facilitate his revenge." Mo Mang stated his opinion calmly.
