When Jian Yao left the house, it was close to evening time.
The sun was setting, bathing the area in an orange glow. It had looked especially pretty when the rays landed on the crystal white snow and the leaves that were covered in snow.
Jian Yao was pretty confident about getting hired. Despite the fact that the employer hadn't showed his face once, making him rather mysterious and a little eccentric.
But at the end of it, this job was referred to her by her teacher so it should be reliable.
After walking a few meters away from the house, Jian Yao turned back to look at the house once more.
From the window on the second floor, she spotted a tall and slender man, wearing a black cut suit. A rather striking sight if you asked Jian Yao. However, she was too far away from the house to see the man's face clearly.
Once Jian Yao was gone, Zi Yu went up to the second floor straight.
Compared to the warm elegance on the first floor, the second floor was rather gloomy and cold. There were a number of sealed rooms and the walls were completely void of any decorations.
Going to the room at the end of the hallway, he saw that the door was left ajar.
He pushed it open and leaned against the door. There was none of the refined elegant man left as he cursed loudly.
It caused the man who was reading a book to frown momentarily at Zi Yu. However, at the next second, he resumed his reading.
Zi Yu was nonchalant as he picked up Jian Yao's translation work and handed it over to the man. "She has beautiful handwriting and translated perfectly."
Zi Yu took out a paper from his pocket and unfolded it. On the paper, there were a few questions like what was his occupation, how long has Jin Yan moved here and etc.
Yes, those were the questions that Zi Yu had asked Jian Yao to guess just now.
He slapped the piece of paper on the table and said, "Regarding all these questions here, she had managed to answer all of them correctly. Are you satisfied with her?"
The man's lips turned up ever so slightly.
Seeing that expression, Zi Yu was afraid that he was going to be picky again, he pulled out a chair and sat in front of him.
"If you are not satisfied with her, you can always translate it yourself. Besides, I am not your assistant and not to mention I will be returning to the city soon, so do not always count on me to help you run your errands."
The man looked up from his book with a weird expression on his face as he replied Zi Yu.
"My time isn't to be used doing those silly things."
For a moment, Zi Yu did not know how to reply him.
"You are a homicide expert and she is just a translator, I don't understand why there is a need to test her observation skills? I am willing to bet that she probably thinks that I talk too much."
This time, the man revealed a very gentle smile.
"Obviously, I cannot allowed stupid people to translate my work. If the person isn't meticulous enough, he will only be translating directly from the article. He won't be able to translate the finer details and most definitely he won't be able to grasp the true meanings behind those words."
Zi Yu really didn't know if he should laugh or be angry but he was all too used to him being like this. "So does this mean that Jian Yao is able to understand you?"
The man face went blank for a second. Then he went back to read his book and said, "No one will ever be able to understand."
