Lin Yun saw the "thief" who had come to steal in the surveillance camera of the interrogation room.
And this time, when he clearly saw the thief's face, it could be said that his hanging heart finally died.
Sitting in the interrogation room, dejected and grief-stricken, was none other than Mu Baihe—one of the people he had dined with just last night.
What on earth was going on?
Lin Yun's brows were tightly furrowed in front of the monitor, utterly baffled.
"We've already questioned this... Magical Girl Miss, hoping she would explain her origins and purposes, which would help us uncover the truth of the matter and possibly clear up any misunderstandings and conflicts between us. However, she's unwilling to answer anything."
The intelligence department employee standing by his side commented, "We tried to contact the Magical Girl team from Fangting City to see if there's a way to peacefully resolve the issue, but the Miss in the interrogation room is highly resistant to that, claiming she would accuse us of indecency if we contacted other Magical Girls. This has made it quite a headache for the other colleagues..."
Indeed, if Asou Haruka found out about this, this girl would probably have a "sugar gourd" growing on her head by tonight.
Lin Yun thought to himself, but outwardly he maintained a strictly businesslike appearance, "Has she proposed any solution herself?"
"There is one indeed..."
The employee looked uneasy, "But her request is for us to give her access to the bureau's archives, including the highly classified documents; and then to let her out as soon as possible."
No wonder he appeared distressed. After all, anyone would find it unbelievable: a caught thief not only showed no remorse but was now making demands and acting domineering, which was truly hard to accept.
"...I understand."
Lin Yun nodded, turned his face, and said, "All right, take me to her. I'll talk to her."
"Yes!"
The employee had thought that after reporting this information, the director would be angry, but after waiting a while and seeing Lin Yun showed no sign of blaming, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty. Upon receiving the order, he immediately straightened his back, "I'll take you there right now!"
Soon, Lin Yun arrived at the interrogation room where Mu Baihe was held.
The guiding employee opened the door, gave Mu Baihe a brief explanation indicating that "our director wishes to see you," then stepped out and stood to the side.
Lin Yun patted his shoulder, didn't say anything, and walked straight into the interrogation room.
As soon as he entered, his gaze met with the girl inside.
Today, Mu Baihe was unusually dressed in a more formal regular outfit, a light blue empire-waist dress, a teal-grey short puffer jacket, a pair of white rounded-toe shoes, coupled with her light yellow long hair, she had an exotic charm, at first glance, making one wonder if she could be from the West Luo State.

However, for Lin Yun, the girl in front of him was already quite familiar, and some changes in appearance were not enough to shake his judgment of her identity, so he merely gave her a cursory look, his expression unflinching.
But Mu Baihe's face, already not looking pleasant, darkened a few shades upon seeing Lin Yun walk through the door.
"Why is it you?" she blurted out.
"Why can't it be me?" Lin Yun raised an eyebrow.
"So this is your territory... No, wait, does this mean that when we were in Bai An City, it was your plot as well? No, could even the rumors online be part of your schemes? Have you planned everything?"
She crossed her arms, leaning back in her chair, "What exactly do you want?"
"...Although I don't know what you've 'brainstormed' in the brief moment just now, but I feel it's necessary to clarify your situation to you, my young friend."
Lin Yun took a few steps forward, pulled out the chair across the interrogation table, and sat down, "You're currently in a state of life restriction for stealing important secrets from the Abnormal Strategy Bureau. Many in the bureau are very uneasy about your intentions, and I am the director of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau."
"Director?" Mu Baihe blinked.
"Yes, if I remember correctly, we encountered each other last year when I was on a business trip to Bai An City."
Lin Yun spoke without expression, striving to appear impartial in his statement: "Despite some unpleasant misunderstandings during that process, I have no doubts about your identity as a Magical Girl."
"Ah, yes!"

Mu Baihe suddenly stood up excitedly upon hearing Lin Yun's words, "Even though it wasn't a good experience, but Uncle, you know I really am Bai An City's Magical Girl, right? In that case, you should be able to let me go..."
"I'm sorry, but that's not possible,"
Lin Yun cut her off, "We are the Abnormal Strategy Bureau of Fangting City, and we do not have the authority to cross over to Bai An City to liaise with Magical Girls there. Even if we could confirm your identity, to reach an agreement and release you, we would still need to follow a set of proper and regulated procedures."
"Procedures?"
Mu Baihe looked puzzled, "What exactly are they?"
"We need to first inform the Abnormal Strategy Bureau of Bai An City about this incident, then have your bureau contact your teammates, while we in Fangting City get in touch with the local Magical Girls. Representatives from all parties need to meet for consultations, then we must document the relevant issues, submit a report to the Magic Kingdom courts, and only then can it be considered fully concluded."
Lin Yun said sternly, completely disregarding Mu Baihe's increasingly pale face: "Of course, as soon as we can contact your teammates, you will be able to leave the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, no need to stay in this interrogation room any longer."
