Ye Zi stood at the side, her eyes wide open. This was the first time Ye Zi was listening to Lin Yan's analysis of the case. Although she had already seen how capable Lin Yan was, did such a logical analysis really come out of Lin Yan's mouth?
Lin Yan hung up the call and handed the phone back to Ye Zi.
He looked at Ye Zi, who was in a daze, and could not help but smile. He rubbed Ye Zi's head with his large hand, and her bangs instantly became very messy.
Ye Zi pouted, and her eyes were filled with peach blossoms. The person standing in front of her was not the serious and reserved Lin Yan, but Detective Conan.
"Are you really Lin Yan?" Ye Zi rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Lin Yan smiled. "Then who am I?"
"Detective Di Renjie, Detective Conan, and …"
"Hehe." Lin Yan smiled faintly. His smile wasn't as wild and demonic as it used to be. Instead, there was a trace of doting and tender love in his smile. This kind of Lin Yan, this kind of smile, was very rare.
"Click!"
The camera flashed.
Lin Yan frowned slightly. "Why did you take a picture of me?"
Ye Zi smiled. "Because you looked very good when you smiled just now."
"Let me see." Lin Yan moved closer to Ye Zi, wanting to see what she had just taken.
But Ye Zi suddenly dodged and held the phone tightly in her arms. "I don't want to show you."
Then, she walked into the room.
The owner of the homestay had been dejected for the past two days. She slumped on the sofa like a frosted eggplant. She had a fever patch on her forehead, and the dark circles under her eyes made her look like a real Panda.
Now that such a thing had happened to the homestay, she was afraid that she could not run it anymore. Hearing the footsteps, the owner turned to look at Ye Zi and Lin Yan, and then continued to droop her head.
Ye Zi glanced sideways at Lin Yan and shrugged helplessly. Then, she pursed her lips and walked straight over. "Owner …"
Ye Zi had just opened her mouth when the owner suddenly hugged Ye Zi and burst into tears. Her cries were so loud that it hurt Ye Zi's eardrums. Flash Dance Network
The owner was in tears and snot. "How am I going to continue my business in the future?!"
Ye Zi didn't know how to comfort the owner, so she turned to look at Lin Yan for help. But Lin Yan acted as if he didn't see it. After all, the person who was hugging Ye Zi was a woman, not a man.
Helpless, Ye Zi could only let the owner continue hugging her. Finally, she was able to catch her breath. But the next second, the owner hugged her again.
Ye Zi had no choice but to pat her back and stroke her head.
After a while, perhaps the owner was tired from crying, she finally let go of Ye Zi. With snot and tears running down her face, she talked about the revolutionary family history.
Ye Zi found out from the owner that her husband had died young, leaving her as an orphan and a widow. They had to rely on this guesthouse to make a living. But now …
She couldn't do anything about it. After Ye Zi persuaded her for a long time, the owner finally stopped crying. She heaved a sigh of relief. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had escaped with her life.
Ye Zi pulled Lin Yan out of the guesthouse and saw Li Jia walking towards them in a hurry. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Because he had run in a hurry, he was panting heavily. He was holding a stack of photos in his hand.
Ye Zi asked, "Brother Li, what's wrong?"
Li Jia took a few deep breaths and shook the photos in his hand.
"What's this?" Ye Zi frowned and took the photos from Li Jia.
The photos weren't very clear, but they could clearly see that there was a man in the photos. He was holding a gun and aiming at a girl who didn't know anything.
The man in the photos was tall and well-proportioned. He wasn't the same person as Mr. Guan. Ye Zi could see that he was Mu Longyi.
But that wasn't the scariest thing. What made Ye Zi's scalp numb was that she could clearly see Mrs. Guan standing there through the crack of the door.
From the beginning, Mrs. Guan had been lying. Ye Zi was good at interrogating people and observing their expressions. But she didn't realize that Mrs. Guan was lying when she was interrogating her. Flash Dance Network
Ye Zi's heart was very flustered. Perhaps, from the start, her judgement was wrong.
In the second photo, Mrs. Guan had an evil smile on her lips. She squinted her eyes and stared at Xie Wanwan, who was lying on the ground.
Xie Wanwan was dead. She was killed by Mu Longyi's gun. She was also killed by Mrs. Guan's mysterious smile.
"Did you catch him?" Ye Zi's expression was grave as she asked Li Jia.
Li Jia raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead. Her face was slightly red as she stammered, "Mrs. Guan turned herself in, but, but Mu Longyi …"
"Ran away?"
Lin Yan's voice sounded above Li Jia's head.
Li Jia raised his head and looked at Lin Yan. There was an awkward smile on his face. He scratched his head. Lin Yan's analysis was almost right, but they still let Mu Longyi escape.
Mu Longyi seemed to know that he would be exposed, so he suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth.
Li Jia led the team and almost turned over the entire Thousand Buddha Rock, but they couldn't find Mu Longyi.
Ye Zi was very curious about where Mu Longyi could have gone. She turned around and ran back to the homestay. Seeing that the homestay owner was still sobbing, she suddenly patted her shoulder.
The homestay owner was slightly stunned and blinked her eyes.
Ye Zi asked, "Homestay, did you see Mu Longyi?"
"Mu Longyi?" The homestay owner frowned.
"The guy who came with the dead girl," Ye Zi said anxiously.
The homestay owner thought about it and nodded. "He left early this morning."
"Left?!" Ye Zi suddenly turned around and rushed into Mu Longyi's room. His luggage, drawing board, paint, everything he brought was not missing.
Li Jia also came in at this time. "How is it?"
Ye Zi turned around and said in a low voice, "His things are all here. The homestay owner said that he left early this morning."
"It seems that this guy was prepared." Li Jia's face was gloomy. He punched the air and then took out his phone to call his colleagues. He issued a warrant for Mu Longyi's arrest in the entire city.
Soon, Mu Longyi's arrest warrant, news, videos, and portraits spread all over the Thousand Buddha Rock. At the same time, the police reported everything that happened at the Thousand Buddha Rock to the Binhai City Criminal Police Unit. Chen Mo also led a team to the Thousand Buddha Rock.
In the end, Mu Longyi ran away. And he ran away completely.
After the incident, Chen Mo led a team to Binhai University. After investigation, there was no art student by the name of Mu Longyi studying at Binhai University.
The police also found that Mu Longyi's ID was fake. Even everything about him was fake.
Who was he?!
Why did he disappear so completely?
Ye Zi and the others returned to Binhai City. In the end, a good team-building trip turned into helping the police solve a case. Ye Zi seemed to have no such fate. She was either exhausted by life and went out looking for work day and night, or she was so tired that she would explode.
This also proved the slogan of the Scent-Sniffing Detective: If the earth doesn't explode, we won't take a break. If the universe doesn't restart, we won't rest. In the wind, in the rain, in the fog, I'll be here waiting for you!
The trip turned into work. Ye Zi gave everyone two days off so that they could go back and have a good rest.
When she and Lin Yan returned home, both of them froze in place at the same time.
What was going on?!
In Ye Zi's rented apartment, it was a mess. The room looked like it had been swept by a strong wind. The sofa was toppled, the coffee table was overturned, and the books on the bookcase were scattered all over the floor.
Ye Zi was stunned for a long time. When she came back to her senses, she was suddenly pulled back by Lin Yan.
She turned to look at Lin Yan. "What's wrong?"
"Call the police first." Lin Yan opened his thin lips slightly and said in a low voice.
Only then did Ye Zi come back to her senses. She took out her phone and dialed 110. The police soon arrived at Xinglan Bay Apartments. After counting and investigating, Ye Zi found that nothing from before had been lost. Instead, the books that she often read were missing. Also, the basic handwritten interrogation notes that her father had left for her were missing.
Ye Zi was very puzzled. Logically speaking, these things were not valuable. Why would someone steal these things?
Because no valuable items were stolen, the police dealt with it as a normal case of breaking and entering.
Ye Zi and Lin Yan spent the entire afternoon restoring the apartment to its original state. After it was done, Ye Zi slumped on the sofa like a deflated balloon.
Lin Yan ordered takeout and placed a few of Ye Zi's favorite dishes on the coffee table in the living room.
Ye Zi, who had not eaten for the whole day, only felt hungry when she saw the delicious food. She ate two bowls of rice in one go before she felt that she had regained her strength.
Lin Yan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen.
He saw Ye Zi standing motionlessly in front of the bookcase. Her beautiful brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
Lin Yan walked over and looked at Ye Zi's gaze. However, he did not find anything. He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What are you looking at?"
Ye Zi heard Lin Yan's voice and turned to look at him. "The missing books …"
"Huh?!" Lin Yan was waiting for Ye Zi to continue.
However, Ye Zi shook her head slightly. She felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell what exactly was wrong.
"Which books are missing?" Lin Yan asked.
Ye Zi said, "My books are arranged in order, so I remember the books that are missing. 'You Have to Believe, There's No Tomorrow That Can't Arrive', 'Long Time No See', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Tomorrow's Attitude'."
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Yan. "Only these four books are missing."
Ye Zi looked at Lin Yan. His face suddenly became gloomy, as if it was covered with a layer of frost. His eyes darkened like a bottomless sea, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
His face became more and more solemn, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. After a long silence, Lin Yan opened his thin lips slightly and said to Ye Zi in a cold voice, "One word from the four book titles can be put together into a sentence."
"What?" Ye Zi frowned and looked at Lin Yan.
