Fang Qing and his partner both lifted their heads at the same time.

"What did you say?" His partner asked.

Bo Jinyan repeated what his position was again. Fang Qing and his partner both saw that Bo Jinyan had an obvious slight smile on his face. His face looked a little arrogant and smug.

Fang Qing's partner was unable to stay calm, as he laughed and said, "You're a specialist from the Ministry of Public Security? Hah!"

However, Fang Qing stopped his partner, then looked straight at Bo Jinyan, his two eyes like torches as he said, "What can you use to verify your identity? I caught you at the crime scene!"

Bo Jinyan expression become cool. "Haven't all the documents that I had on me been confiscated by you guys? Verifying them is your responsibility, not mine."

From under the table, Fang Qing's partner took out the basket that contained everything that was just found and confiscated from Bo Jinyan. An identity card, a plane ticket from from Beijing to the ancient city dated back three days ago, a wallet, tissues, gloves, a surgical mask ...

"If you really are an expert, why don't you have your certificate of expertise? Why don't you even have a business card?" Fang Qing's partner asked.

Bo Jinyan let out a laugh. "I'm just simply going out, why would I bring so much useless stuff?"

From the basket, Fang Qing pulled out an official-looking bright red booklet and opened it to look inside. "Then why did you bring your marriage certificate along?"

Bo Jinyan calmly did not speak.

However, the interrogation was still cut short and Fang Qing undid the handcuffs on Bo Jinyan. At the same time, he told his partner to go check on Bo Jinyan's identity and said, "If you really are an expert from the Ministry of Public Security, then we overstepped our boundaries. However, I found you at the crime scene, so bringing you back here was a right we had as well as our duty."

Bo Jinyan nodded his head a little. "I understand." He rubbed his wrists that was red from the handcuffs. His face was calm and didn't even seem a little bit angry.

The weird feeling in Fang Qing's heart appeared again. He really thought that compared to a normal person, Bo Jinyan just wasn't behaving appropriately. He appeared at a time he wasn't supposed to, not even getting angry when he should have gotten angry.

A word came to his mind.....

Eccentric*.

T/N: 奇葩 can be translated as prodigy if meant positively, or weirdo if meant negatively.

In the end, Bo Jinyan picked up the cup of tea again and patiently took a small sip and then said, "Oh, that's right. I just forgot to tell you guys that my expert identity is confidential. With your level of authorization, you guys probably won't be able to have access to it. You probably should be able to gain access if you bring it to your superior's attention."

Fang Qing and his partner looked at each other in dismay.

Twenty minutes later.

Fang Qing had no choice but to invite Bo Jinyan into his office to sit, as the sub-bureau's chief was now on the way to the station.

"Professor ...... Bo, please sit." Fang Qing sat next to him. He wasn't a good conversationalist, not to mention the fact that he was right in front of a big Buddha like Bo Jinyan*. So after the two sat down, both of them did not say anything.
