"Okay stop, Detective. Firstly, I am totally innocent since I had not noticed that idol had died until it was too late, and secondly, if I am a murderer, will I let myself be easily caught by the police like this?"

At his words, the scuffling sounds in the hall seemed to cease, as all the police officers on scene were glancing at Zheng Yun, or rather, at their higher-up and detective, amusement dancing in their eyes as they watch the spectacle gone down, because those who were in the police force for a few years had remembered that time when Zheng Yun's mentor, Mr. Chao Yuan, had sarcastically rebutted the detective's claims during a murder case similar to this, and everyone could still remember how red the detective's face was at that time, and how they enjoyed seeing the detective being put down at his place, and now, it is my turn to refute the detective's claims and everyone was eager to see how this one will go.

"You....You....."

"Me. What about me?" Zheng Yun asked with a raised eyebrow much to the amusement of the spectators, and for the second time, the detective seemed to be at a loss of words, making Zheng Yun nod his head, already know how this one played out.

"So...you really don't know anything, do you, Detective?" At Zheng Yun's teasing tone, the detective glared at Zheng Yun, making Zheng Yun smirk, before dramatically turning away from the detective, but not before showing the detective his NX elite team access card, which the detective grudgingly nod and give back the card to Zheng Yun, knowing that he is being defeated in a match for smarts against Zheng Yun, much to Zheng Yun's delight. As Zheng Yun approached the spot where the idol was shot, he glanced up, seeing a riffle being perched on a railing on the observation deck of the venue, and Zheng Yun immediately broke into a run, running towards the direction of the stairs and ran up the stairs while pressing the call button of his earpiece, calling someone he knows will pick up.

"Xiao Yun? What's wrong?" a young man's voice rang out, causing Zheng Yun to sigh in relief, and Zheng Yun skidded to a stop once he was near the location where the riffle is perched, and he switched the mode on his earpiece to a holographic video mode, and he finally responded, his tone urgent.

"Ryo, can you see what I'm seeing?" Zheng Yun asked while quickly switching his holographic video mode to the visual mode, hearing a sound of confirmation from Ryo, and he turned his head around, letting Ryo see what he is seeing while he explained the situation.

"I see....so that is what happened...." At Ryo's words, Zheng Yun nodded, deciding to ask if Ryo could come to the scene since he knew that Ryo needed to observe the scene himself to get a glimpse of what is happening, based on his knowledge of Ryo's ability.

"I see....I think I can come in....five minutes? Since there is a secret pathway that enables me to travel to fenghuangshi faster." Ryo said, sounding a little confident, and Zheng Yun nodded from his end, glancing down as he saw the cops was about to wrap up their investigation, and Zheng Yun knew that he and Ryo don't have enough time.

"All right. See you in five minutes, Ryo." Zheng Yun said and at the sound of confirmation from Ryo's side, Zheng Yun shut the video call, hoping that Ryo will come in time.

As the five minutes is almost up, Zheng Yun was about to turn and walk down the stairs when he saw Ryo racing up the stairs, and Zheng Yun smiled, glad that Ryo is on time as usual, and Zheng Yun brought Ryo to the place where the riffle is placed with a nod, and Ryo concentrated, images of what happened before flashed in his mind, until he could pinpoint the time which Zheng Yun should jump into so that Zheng Yun could investigate on the culprit's identity. As Ryo opened his eyes, he gave Zheng Yun a swift nod, and Zheng Yun nod back, knowing what he and Ryo needed to do.

"Are you ready, Xiao Yun?"

"Born ready!"

"Remember, don't discuss the past..."

"Don't question the future."

As their hands clapped against each other's, Zheng Yun saw a brilliant flash of white, and the next thing he knew, his ethereal form was standing at the observation deck, observing the scene while also keeping an eye on the culprit, who was doing nothing as he watched the crowd below, his dark hair covering his eyes.

"Xiao Yun, there are two objectives. First, find the location and the angle of the shot and the range of it. Second, find out who is the culprit behind the shooting of the idol." At hearing Ryo's voice, Zheng Yun gave a small, impeccable nod, before glancing down at the people in the gala, and he could see himself and Po Mirae mingling with the guests, smiles on their faces, and as the night went on, Zheng Yun could see the emcees calling him out, could see himself walking onto the stage, could see himself giving out his speech, and as the speech was coming to an end, Zheng Yun focused, leaning in to catch the glimpse of the angle of the shot and the range of it while trying to get a glimpse of the culprit, knowing that after his, or rather, his past self's, speech, the culprit will shoot at the idol.

And as he figured, the culprit did indeed shoot the idol, and Zheng Yun immediately locked his gaze on the angle of the shot, noting it down mentally, and as the culprit started to run, Zheng Yun tried to follow him, but his environment started to crumble around him, making him lose his balance.

"Wait! No! I can't let it end like this! I need to see his face! No! No!" Zheng Yun let out a cry as he sat up, panting wildly, clutching his chest with his free hand and feeling his heart pounding in his chest, his vision horribly blurred from the sudden return back to reality. Seeing Zheng Yun like this, Ryo immediately ran to Zheng Yun's side, gently wiping his sweat off his face with a clean cloth, worry showing all over his face.

"Are...you okay? Do you need anything?" Ryo asked in a panic, and before Ryo could continue his panicky tirade, Zheng Yun stopped him, glancing around him, frowning, wondering why he ended up in the NX headquarters.

"Oh....about how you ended up here, I'll just explain..." Ryo took a deep breath before explaining, giving as much details as possible.

"You see, after you used your ability, you had been unconscious for a while so I while you are still unconscious, I was talking to the policemen on site, and I found out that the culprit had used this." Ryo handed the dart to Zheng Yun, and Zheng Yun's expression darkened, mirroring Ryo's, and Ryo nodded, knowing exactly what Zheng Yun was thinking because it is the drug, Epiphany, which might link to one of the cases that them and the rest of the elite team are solving, and Zheng Yun knew that this is serious, and he began talking about what he had found, and Ryo nodded, processing the information because this is an important clue to solve the death of that idol.

"So.... you're saying that the angle of shooting is 45 degree downwards, and that at that angle, the culprit could just shoot the victim, and that the culprit has black hair?" Zheng Yun nodded, confirming that Ryo had heard him completely, and Ryo sighed softly, glancing at the clock, and realized that it is too late to discuss the findings with the others in the elite team now.

"sigh Get some rest. We'll discuss this with everyone tomorrow." Ryo said softly, patting Zheng Yun gently but firmly on the shoulders before going into his room, leaving Zheng Yun in the living room, a small smile forming on his face as he watched Ryo leave, before whispering, his voice soft.

"I've missed you so much, Ryo."
