CHAPTER SIX
They chose a restaurant near home.
It was a bit late by the time Yu finished school. Yu Yin also purposely made a trip to pass by that building on the way back, with nothing appearing to be unusual. By the time they arrived at the restaurant, it was a bit past seven.
This was around the time most people were getting their checks and leaving, so there were not many customers inside.
They recognised the server, who helped them choose a table in the corner next to the window. It also had a small screen to block other people's gazes.
As Xiao Yu watched the food get served and started eating, Yu Yin was still evaluating the student from another school, contemplating whether or not to question the other any further.
He was also assessing the possibility of visiting Yu's original house, although he was not sure if there was anything to be discovered there...
A light knocking sound came from the table, interrupting Yu Yin's thoughts. He finally noticed the cellphone he had previously purchased was placed in front of him, the entered text reading: "What are you thinking about?"
When Yu Yin read this question, he lowered his head to discover that he had barely taken a few bites of his own dinner, but the other person had already started eating dessert.
"Eh, just some stuff." Yu Yin did not have much of an appetite. He quickly swallowed some mouthfuls of food before lifting his head to say, "Could I ask you something?"
Xiao Yu took off his glasses, head cocked to one side as he looked at Yu Yin before slowly nodding.
Yu Yin took the two photos out from his backpack and placed them on the table, directly asking, "Were you the one that took the packet of incense in this picture?"
Yu looked down at the photos on the table and shook his head.
Because his response was so calm, Yu Yin momentarily did feel that it was probably not him. But he had thought it over for a long time before this and had discovered that he was not as certain as before. "I just remembered that there was a time when only I went upstairs to chase after Uncle because you weren't feeling well and stayed on the fourth floor to rest. Do you really swear that you did not go back?"
After meeting with Li Zi Hong and Yan Si, he had been racking his brains trying to figure out if he was overlooking something. Thus, he finally recalled that he had not always been together with Yu. He then thought back to the matter that day when his family's spiritual block had run upstairs to chase after the ghost. Xiao Yu had told him to catch up first, so Yu had only joined them afterwards. He had definitely had the time to go back and do something. And nobody else would have possibly entered the fourth floor again, especially not to take a single packet of incense.
He was waiting, waiting for Xiao Yu to re-answer the question.
Time trickled by slowly. Just as Yu Yin was about to lose his patience from waiting, Xiao Yu finally took out the notebook from his backpack. He flipped to a blank page and wrote: "And what of it?"
