Since she guessed he wasn't really directing the question to her, Xu Ning didnt bother to reply.

"Poor you two. You must have a lot on your hands. With the recent serial killing. Are you getting anywhere?"

"Hopefully we should be getting somewhere." Lifen replied curtly.

"Have I dome something wrong? You dont appear very pleased with me my dear." Yusheng asked moving closer to Lifen but Xioa Ai cleared her throat.

"There are people watching. And Yusheng, is the ethanol you use in cleansing your department different from ours? The scent is different."

"Amd why would you ask me that? Ask the cleaning crew. There she goes, the regular worker here." He pointed his chin to woman wiping the floor.

Xiao Ai walked up to her. "Good work. Can I ask you a few questions?"

The worker nodded. "Yes Ma you can."

"The disinfectants you use on the floor and walls contain ethanol right?"

"Yes they do."

"Is there a varying level you use. Like probably there are different disinfectants for different departments."

"That is right. For places like gynaecology, neurosurgery, paediatric the same disinfectant are used. They are less harmful to the nose non irritable and stronger than the rest. Except for Emergency section and ICU which we use the same disinfectants for."

"So General Surgery and Psychology use different disinfectants. But ethanol is your basic isnt it?"

"Yes ma..it is."

Xiao Ai called her aside and brought out a small handkerchief. "Sniff this and tell me if you can smell anything?"

The woman did as hs was told. Several times. "As faint as it maybe it smells like gynaecology and the likes."

"You are saying this has the scent of the kind of disinfectants you use at gynaecology, paediatric, neurosurgery and the likes?"

"Yes. That is right."

She tucked the handkerchief back nd thanked the woman.

"What did she say?" Lifen questioned.

Xiao Ai pulled her to an empty hall. "We have to sniff out gynaecology, paediatric, and neurosurgery of all hospitals around E, F, G, H mall."

Lifen face palmed herself. "You will lose the memory of the scent then if we sniff out so much ethanol smelling environment."

"I wont." She flashed the handkerchief in her face. "This belongs to the man in the gents."

Shocked Lifen reprimanded. "You cannot take things like that from crime scenes. Its illegal."

"And since when were we ever legal? We need a list of the big hospitals or hospitals operating those departments immediately. I know hospitals use the same disinfectant."

Lifenshook her head "you are unbelievably. Shall we start with ours then? We will have to sniff out the Takin hospital too. Oh God...I hate this job sometimes."

She smiled faintly. "Told you so."

But at least it was better than having to take care of that transfer patient.

Back in Russia...

A woman was wrapped around tangled sheets as she watched the man dress up.

God knew he was a fine one. The scent of sex still lingered in the room.

"Stare at me more and I might have to think you are inviting."

She sprawled her legs around so that her ass could be in clear view. "I am always inviting my dear."

He smirked and wore his perfume. "Too bad I have to go for the meeting. You know I cant avoid it." He gave her a quick kiss and tied his laces.

"Beezlebub wont be attending again?"

"I thought she made it clear she quit. Madam Lada herself might as well run her organisation. But at least I get to get on Little fools nerves."

"Something tells me Beezlebub is the one behind the ammunitions of their group. Who else would supply such with such amount of money. It's not fitting in well."

"It doesn't have to DARLING. "

She sat upright weighing her breastz in her hands. "I am surprised you didnt fall for her beauty and tricks. Little Fool fell right for it."

He took a deep breath. "More reason i decided it was time to leave. Since she had Little guy around her evil claws."

"Was that it? Or were you already planning on leaving. You are an ambitious man. I wont be surprised if you had intended to betray Little Fool from the start."

He went silent for sometime. "Chinese Talisman doesn't work on me. I guess we can have a quickie."

She smiled triumphantly. Her poses shouldn't go to waste like that.

Soon after she was panting and she watched the man clean himself. He shifted closer to her ears and held her left breast in one hand. In a cold voice he commanded. " I will not find you in my bed when I return."

She froze and gently shook her head as she rushed to put her clothes on. He watched her run around some time before leaving her in the room.

Useless little submissives. He may not be fond of Beezlebub but he missed her in this moment. How many women could be as brave and shameless and stupid as her?

She was an independent woman whom he once looked up to.
