"Creak …"
The door opened slowly. Lin Yan saw Chen Mo standing at the door in a police uniform.
Lin Yan frowned slightly. Then, he remembered the purpose of Chen Mo's visit today. He moved aside and made way for Chen Mo. "Please come in."
Chen Mo walked into Ye Zi's house. Everything was still familiar to him. However, there were many details that showed that Ye Zi wasn't living alone.
On the shoe cabinet at the door, besides Ye Zi's shoes, there were a few pairs of men's leather shoes and running shoes. Lin Yan's clothes were hung on the clothes rack at the door. The bathroom door was open, and Chen Mo could clearly see two towels hanging inside.
All these signs showed that there were two people living in Ye Zi's single apartment.
Ye Zi walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas. When she saw Chen Mo, she frowned slightly. "Brother Chen Mo, why are you here?"
"Oh, I'm here to ask Lin Yan something." Chen Mo's eyes narrowed, and he forced a faint smile on his face.
Ye Zi nodded. She could roughly guess the purpose of Chen Mo's visit. "You're here for the X Hotel incident, right? We called you yesterday, but no one picked up your phone, so …"
Chen Mo said, "I was at the scene, and my phone was set to silent mode."
"Oh." Ye Zi nodded. "Oh yeah, Brother Chen Mo, how's the investigation of the X Hotel case?"
Chen Mo said, "I'm here for that."
Ye Zi walked to Lin Yan's side. "Sit down and talk. I'll get you some tea."
"Lass, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'm just here to ask a few questions and I'll leave. The X Hotel case involves quite a number of famous people in the city, so the higher-ups are paying more attention to this case." Chen Mo's expression was very ugly, and the dark circles under his eyes were like a national treasure.
Ye Zi nodded. "Then what do you want to ask?"
Chen Mo looked at Lin Yan and asked in a deep voice, "Lin Yan, why did you leave X Hotel early last night?"
Lin Yan said, "I always leave early every time I attend a cocktail party like this."
"Almost all the guests present were poisoned. Why are you fine?" Chen Mo asked again.
Lin Yan replied, "I have a habit. When I go out to socialize, I never eat the food provided by them."
Ye Zi leaned over. "Yes, I can prove it. When Lin Yan came back last night, I even cooked a bowl of noodles for him. Brother Chen Mo, if you don't believe me, the bowl is still in the kitchen."
Chen Mo didn't care whether the bowl was washed or not.
He was very curious. Why did almost all the guests present at the cocktail party get poisoned, except for Lin Yan?
Lin Yan seemed to know what Chen Mo was thinking. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I know you don't believe me, but you can see what I was doing from the surveillance cameras at X Hotel last night."
"I will investigate," Chen Mo said in a deep voice.
Lin Yan said, "As for why? Who is it? Officer Chen, I don't know yet. If you need help … "
Chen Mo interrupted Lin Yan with a smile. "I don't need it for the time being, but if Mr. Lin remembers anything, please inform the police in time."
"Mhmm." Lin Yan responded indifferently.
Chen Mo knew that there was no need for him to stay. He looked at Ye Zi and then looked at Chen Mo. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You guys are living together?"
"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with this case, right?" Lin Yan's face suddenly sank, and he responded to Chen Mo with a cold answer. "As you can see, that's right."
Chen Mo smiled faintly and patted Lin Yan's shoulder. "Take good care of her."
After that, Chen Mo turned and left Ye Zi's house.
Looking at Chen Mo's back, Ye Zi felt a little distressed. Chen Mo was a workaholic. He didn't take care of his body. Now that such a big thing happened, Chen Mo might have to run around for a long time.
Looking out the window at the gloomy sky, Ye Zi took an umbrella and chased after him.
Lin Yan didn't refuse. Although he knew Chen Mo's feelings for Ye Zi, Chen Mo hid his feelings very well. In Lin Yan's opinion, Chen Mo was like a knight hidden in the dark. Before the real prince appeared by Ye Zi's side, he had been silently guarding Ye Zi.
After a while, Ye Zi returned to her home.
Lin Yan crossed his legs and sat on the sofa. He watched the news report on TV while tasting a cup of coffee in his hand. When he saw Ye Zi come back, Lin Yan's thin lips opened slightly and asked her softly, "Did you send her away?"
Ye Zi nodded and glanced at the coffee in Lin Yan's hand. "Is there no coffee for me?"
"I only made one cup." Lin Yan said indifferently.
Ye Zi pouted. Didn't I just give an umbrella to Chen Mo? Does he have to be so jealous?
Ye Zi walked into the kitchen. Hey! Sure enough, Lin Yan really made a cup of coffee.
She quickly walked in front of Lin Yan and snatched the coffee from his hand. She took a sip and nodded in satisfaction. "Your coffee brewing skills are not bad. You can open a cafe with this."
"Lam's Group does have a chain of cafes. If you like it, I can give it to …"
Before Lin Yan could finish his sentence, Ye Zi suddenly raised her hand and interrupted Lin Yan's words. "Stop. Don't think that I don't know what you want. You want me to end the business of the detective agency. Let me tell you, there's no way."
Lin Yan just smiled and didn't say much.
Early in the morning, Binhai City welcomed the baptism of heavy rain. It gave people a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city. Clusters of dark clouds seemed to be within reach. Countless silver threads in the sky connected the sky and the earth together.
The pedestrians on the road were holding umbrellas of different styles and colors, hurrying along the sidewalk.
Ye Zi sat in the taxi and looked at the pedestrians outside the window. The taxi driver was smoking, and the whole car was filled with the unpleasant smell of smoke. Ye Zi couldn't stand it and opened the window. The wind rolled up the rainwater and blew into the car, drenching the ends of Ye Zi's hair.
Finally, they arrived outside the detective agency. Ye Zi paid the driver and rushed out of the taxi.
Walking into the detective agency, Ye Zi saw Yao Anmian sprawled out on the sofa, sleeping soundly.
Ye Zi was already used to it. She didn't say anything, jumped over Yao Anmian's body, and walked towards her office.
Jian Xia patted her shoulder from behind. Ye Zi turned around and looked at Jian Xia. She asked, "What's wrong?"
Jian Xia glanced at Yao Anmian and frowned. Her face was full of suspicion. "Does he always sleep like this?"
"Hehe." Ye Zi couldn't help but smile. She smiled and said, "Not really. At least, he's awake when it's time to pay his salary."
"Pay his salary?"
Upon hearing these three words, Yao Anmian sat up with a whoosh and turned to look at Ye Zi. "Boss, is it time to pay my salary today?"
Ye Zi was speechless. She raised her hand to her forehead and said to Jian Xia, "See? What did I tell you?"
To Look Around, she walked in with an umbrella. Her face was filled with the words "I'm very unhappy." She placed the umbrella at the door and kept muttering, "You don't act like a man at all. I was the one who snatched the taxi first."
"What's wrong?" Jian Xia asked with a frown.
After spending half a month together, Jian Xia had already become friends with the two detectives in the detective agency. They didn't see Jian Xia as a fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful woman. They only saw Jian Xia as a hardworking beauty. Apart from her work, she was also a skilled baker. She often brought desserts and cakes to feed everyone.
To Look Around walked in front of Jian Xia and Ye Zi. "On the way to work just now, I flagged down a taxi, but a man rushed in first. Before I could say anything, he closed the door and left. Tell me, is he still a man?"
"Not really."
Ye Zi and Jian Xia said in unison.
"Yes, I admit that I didn't put on makeup today, but they can't treat me differently."
At this time, Yao Anmian lay down and said carelessly, "Sister, it's your fault that you didn't put on makeup when you went out. You still expect him to give you a taxi. You should be grateful that he didn't send you to the zoo."
"You!" To Look Around was so angry that she threw the bag in her hand at him.
Out of instinct, Yao Anmian caught the "hidden weapon" that came at him.
To Look Around, she glared at Yao Anmian and said coldly, "Go to sleep. If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you anytime."
"Alright, calm down." Jian Xia passed a disposable paper plate with a piece of cotton cake to To Look Around. "Try it. I made this this morning."
With delicious food in front of her, To Look Around's mood was finally better. She took a bite and instantly narrowed her eyes. "Mmm! The taste is really great. Jian Xia, whoever marries you must have accumulated good fortune in his previous life. "
"What if he marries me?" Ye Zi interrupted and asked.
The corners of Gu Panpan's lips twitched slightly. "I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck."
Ye Zi really wanted to put the cotton cake in her hand on To Look Around's face. "You deserve to have your car stolen today."
"Hehe." Jian Xia couldn't help laughing.
After working in the detective agency for more than half a month, this was basically the daily life of the agency. A weird boss with two weird subordinates was really an eye-opener for Jian Xia. However, in this kind of working atmosphere, she lived a happy and fulfilling life every day. Although she had been here for half a month, the detective agency had not received any business yet.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Looking towards the direction of the sound, Jian Xia saw a woman wearing a red office skirt. Her head was wrapped in a silk scarf, and she wore a pair of black sunglasses that covered most of the woman's face.
In the eyes of outsiders, the woman was like a female celebrity being followed by the paparazzi on TV. She had to arm herself tightly at all times.
"Excuse me, is this the Fragrance Detective Agency?" As soon as the woman in the red dress spoke, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
This was because the woman's voice was really special. It was actually a "baby voice."
Jian Xia walked over and raised her hand to make a "please" gesture towards the detective agency. She said with a smile, "Hello, welcome. How can I help you?"
The woman walked into the detective agency and took off the scarf and glasses on her face.
It had to be said that this woman had an extremely beautiful face. Her skin was as white as snow, and she had a beautiful full forehead. She had bright and clear eyes and a small and delicate nose.
"I would like to entrust the detective agency to help me investigate my husband's mistress."
The woman sat down and took out a thick stack of bank notes from her wallet. She placed it directly on Ye Zi's desk. "This is the advance payment. If the investigation is successful, I will give the other half to the detective agency."
Ye Zi roughly glanced at the stack of bank notes. The stack of bank notes was at least fifty thousand yuan.
Another big deal had arrived. Ye Zi's mood suddenly became high. Still worried about not being able to find the latest chapter? Amway a public account: r/d//444
