Nian Xi agreed to his suggestion.
The thermos flask was on the side table; he poured water into it. She looked in his direction, and realized that the bulbs of the beautifully wrapped tulips were all gone—only the long stalks and wrapping paper were left. From her years of experience as a policewoman, she could tell that they were broken off on purpose by someone.
She was silent for a moment before asking, "How did the tulips become like this?"
Jiang Yuning's hand shook a little. "Indeed. What happened? They were still fine when I went to sleep last night."
Nian Xi kept quiet.
Could he have gotten any more obvious? It was so obvious that he didn't even dare to look her in the eye when he said that.
"Why did the flowers disappear?" Nian Xi asked him directly.
"… Maybe they were eaten by rats," Jiang Yuning replied sheepishly.
Nian Xi was speechless.
Rats eating flowers? Did he think that she was an idiot?
