Ye Zi looked at Lin Yan and then looked at the red rope on the coffee table. She had an inexplicable sense of foreboding. She took a step back and distanced herself from Lin Yan. She was afraid that Lin Yan would use the rope to tie her up. Flash Dance Network
Lin Yan looked at the expression on Ye Zi's face and wanted to laugh, but he still held it in.
Ye Zi took a deep breath and asked Lin Yan, "What is this rope for?"
Lin Yan's lips curled slightly.
He gently tapped Ye Zi's forehead and said with a smile, "I've already read some of the books in the study and plan to donate them. This rope is used to tie them up."
Ye Zi's face felt like it was on fire. Her forehead, which was touched by Lin Yan's finger, seemed to itch. His long fingers skimmed over every inch of her skin like a wildfire.
She misunderstood, and her face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out.
Lin Yan looked at Ye Zi's expression and really wanted to laugh, but he tried his best to endure it. He knew that this girl would definitely think in a crooked way. He sat down in relief and began to eat his bowl of wonton in a leisurely manner.
Ye Zi stood there for a long time before she recovered from her shyness. She exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, sat next to Lin Yan, and began to eat in big mouthfuls.
"Ugh!"
After a bowl of wontons, Ye Zi started to hiccup. She didn't know if it was because she choked or because she was angered by the red rope just now. "Ugh... ugh..."
After gulping down a few mouthfuls of water, Ye Zi felt that her breathing had calmed down a little.
Lin Yan cleaned up the dishes and walked into the kitchen. Ye Zi also wanted to follow him in. She wanted to play a trick on him and let him know how it feels to be played. But, just as she reached the kitchen door, her phone suddenly rang.
Ye Zi turned around and returned to the living room. She picked up her phone and looked at the text message on the phone: You are so beautiful today.
She froze for a moment. The message was from an unknown number. She walked to the window and looked around. There was no one watching her from the opposite building.
After Lin Yan finished washing the dishes, he walked out of the kitchen. "What are you looking at?"
Ye Zi suddenly turned around and put the phone behind her back. "Nothing. Someone sent the wrong message just now."
Lin Yan nodded disapprovingly. He looked at the quartz clock on the wall. "It's getting late. I'll take you to the detective agency first."
Ye Zi didn't know why Lin Yan always wanted to drive her to and from work these days. "No need. I have to go to the crime squad first. Last night, I promised Brother Chen Mo that I would help him investigate a person."
"Chen Mo again!" Lin Yan's face was obviously a little unhappy.
Ye Zi frowned slightly. "Please, Brother Chen Mo and I are just work friends... Plus, we are childhood sweethearts."
Of course, Ye Zi said the last sentence in a very low voice. It was as quiet as a mosquito. Even she couldn't hear it.
Lin Yan didn't hear what Ye Zi had just said. Otherwise, the red rope on the coffee table would not be as simple as binding a book.
Ye Zi didn't pay too much attention to the text message on the phone. After Lin Yan repeatedly warned her to be careful, Lin Yan finally got in the car.
Ye Zi didn't take the car. She wanted to look for her lost key along the way.
The late autumn weather made people feel very comfortable. After walking a few stops, Ye Zi's phone rang again.
The text message was still from the unknown number. "I like the white cashmere coat you're wearing today."
In an instant, Ye Zi felt her scalp tingle because she was wearing a white cashmere coat today. This coat was bought by Lin Yan from abroad last week when he went on a business trip. She liked this coat very much. Today's weather was slightly cold, so Ye Zi took this coat out early in the morning.
Ye Zi quickly composed a text message. "Who are you?"
After waiting for a while, there was no reply from the other party. Ye Zi stood in the same place, frowning. She looked around. There was only a bus passing by, and no one was looking at her.
Could it be that this text message was really sent by mistake?
Ye Zi kept thinking. She really hoped that the other party had sent the wrong text message, and not...
She didn't dare to continue thinking. If it was really as she thought, it would be too scary. This kind of unknown snooping made people's hair stand on end.
Ye Zi didn't dare to stay there any longer. She quickly stopped a taxi.
Ding dong.
Her cell phone rang again.
Ye Zi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Her hands holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
She opened the text message. This time, it was from Chen Mo. "I'm waiting for you at the crime squad."
Phew! Ye Zi let out a sigh of relief. She found the number that had just sent her two days ago. After blocking it, she looked at the driver and said, "To the Municipal Crime Squad."
She quickly arrived at the Municipal Crime Squad. After paying the driver, Ye Zi quickly walked in. At this moment, Chen Mo came out of the crime squad with a stack of documents. When he saw Ye Zi, he waved at her.
"Little girl, over here."
Ye Zi hurriedly followed him. "Brother Chen Mo, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the archives. Follow me."
Chen Mo was 185 cm tall. When he walked, his steps were vigorous. In just a short while, Ye Zi had widened the distance between them. Along the way, Ye Zi could be considered to be jogging. When she finally caught up with Chen Mo, she was a little out of breath. "You- why are you walking so fast? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Chen Mo smiled helplessly. This was already his usual speed. It was obvious that Ye Zi lacked training. Chen Mo raised his hand and gave Ye Zi a knock on the head. "It's obvious that your fitness needs to be improved. How can you complain that I'm walking too fast? You're a private detective. You must have encountered many dangerous situations. How can your fitness be like this? Tomorrow, I'll train you well."
They could be said to have grown up together. Chen Mo was famous for being a madman when he was in the police academy. Ever since he joined the police force, he was like a well-oiled motor that never knew fatigue. If he were to fall into Chen Mo's hands, he wouldn't have a good ending.
After thinking about it, Ye Zi said, "You... are too hot-tempered. I'll let Lin Yan train me."
Ever since Ye Zi got together with Lin Yan, the core of her life seemed to have undergone earth-shattering changes. She would always unknowingly think of and mention Lin Yan.
However, when these words reached Chen Mo's ears, it sounded very unpleasant.
An awkward smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips. When Ye Zi didn't notice, he frowned slightly. After a moment, his expression returned to normal. "Alright, you must remember to train. I will check on you at any time."
Ye Zi stuck her tongue out at Chen Mo. "You're so long-winded."
Chen Mo didn't say much. At least, Ye Zi still needed a long-winded big brother like him by her side. He could still watch her from afar and lend a helping hand when she needed help. This was enough for Chen Mo.
Chen Mo walked into the archive room and handed the documents to the archivist. "Help me look at the North Linsen Road fire case from four years ago."
"Okay, Chen Dui, please wait a moment."
A moment later, the archivist found the information about the North Linsen Road fire case from four years ago and handed it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo gestured with his chin at Ye Zi. Ye Zi followed him out of the archive room.
"Brother Chen Mo, why did you pull up the information from that year?" Ye Zi frowned and looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo handed the information to Ye Zi. "Go back and take a look. Maybe it will help you investigate Li Xue."
"Li Xue?" Ye Zi didn't understand what Chen Mo meant. Although Li Xue was a survivor of the fire, this was clearly a different matter. Why was it related to her?
Ye Zi couldn't figure it out. She stood there for a long time before saying, "Brother Chen Mo, where is Li Xue now?"
Chen Mo said in a low voice, "Let her go."
"Let her go?!" Ye Zi blinked her eyes. Wasn't he always suspicious of Li Xue? How could he let her go so easily?
Chen Mo seemed to read Ye Zi's mind and explained, "Her boyfriend has woken up. He doesn't plan to sue Li Xue, so we have to let her go."
"A pair of clowns." Ye Zi pouted helplessly and put the information about the fire case into her backpack. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Wait." Chen Mo suddenly stopped Ye Zi.
Ye Zi looked at Chen Mo. "Is there anything else?"
Chen Mo wanted to say something but stopped. He smiled at Ye Zi and said, "Be careful."
Another person who told him to be careful. Could it be that he was such a careless person in their hearts? Ye Zi didn't understand. She responded to Chen Mo with a bright smile, put on her backpack, and quickly walked out of the crime squad.
Along the way, Ye Zi's mood was very heavy. She had been tightly holding onto her backpack, not opening it at all. Her father's death was like being struck by lightning, forcefully dragging her from heaven to hell.
In the past four years, she had been living in darkness. It was Lin Yan who walked into her life and brought her a ray of warm sunshine.
The taxi soon stopped outside the detective agency. The moment she got out of the taxi, Ye Zi stood outside the agency and looked at the signboard that said, "Detective Agency by Smell."
These six words were like a brand, deeply imprinted in Ye Zi's heart.
Her father had passed away and handed her such a heavy responsibility.
In this life, Ye Zi felt that it was worth it to be her father's daughter. Her father treated her even better than Ye Xinrou. For so many years, she also felt that she owed Ye Xinrou. That was why she let her be and indulged her.
"Boss, why are you standing outside the door? Why don't you go in? "
Yao Anmian's voice came from behind. Ye Zi turned to look at him. "You're late!"
Yao Anmian quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no. Panda's classmate came just now. I sent her home."
