"There's no need."
Li Xue suddenly stood up and pointed her sharp chin at Lin Yan. She curled her lips and said, "I promised Panpan this meal today, so I won't bother the two of you."
Just as Ye Zi was about to say something, she suddenly felt someone tugging on her sleeve from behind. Turning her head, she actually saw Lin Yan with a smile on his face. His distant yet sharp gaze was coldly fixated on Li Xue.
Lin Yan opened his mouth and said calmly, "Well, I won't disturb the two of you then."
After saying that, Lin Yan directly pulled Ye Zi to the window.
The two of them sat down in relief. Ye Zi hurriedly moved in front of Lin Yan and asked with a frown, "Why didn't you let me continue talking just now?"
"Because there was no need." Lin Yan said calmly, "From the moment you entered the door, you were as vigilant as a hedgehog. Anyone could see that you were on guard against that woman just now. If you had continued talking, I'm afraid you would have exposed more."
Ye Zi didn't expect Lin Yan to see so much. After a moment of silence, Ye Zi nodded slightly at Lin Yan.
She also felt that what Lin Yan had said just now was not false. It was very reasonable.
If she had continued talking, she felt that she would have exposed more negative feelings.
Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lin Yan had reminded her just now. Otherwise … she wouldn't have been able to hide her feelings.
Lin Yan ordered. Soon, the waiter brought lunch for the two of them.
Ye Zi picked up the knife and fork and ate with big mouthfuls. During this time, she would look in the direction of Li Xue and To Look Around from time to time. Every time Li Xue turned her head, Ye Zi would deliberately avoid it.
She didn't want Li Xue to find out anything.
After the meal, Ye Zi felt like she was an underground worker.
She always deliberately avoided Li Xue's gaze.
Today, Li Xue gave Ye Zi a shocking feeling. Ye Zi had just seen with her own eyes that the steak in front of Li Xue …
She thought about it. She seemed to be able to feel the strong smell of blood spreading in her mouth.
After Li Xue paid the bill, she dragged To Look Around to Ye Zi.
Li Xue said, "Miss Yeh, I wonder if you could help Panpan apply for leave today?"
Ye Zi looked at Li Xue and said, "Sure, no problem."
To Look Around Li Xue smiled. "I told you, Miss Yeh is a very easy person to talk to."
Ye Zi turned her gaze to To Look Around Li Xue and pursed her lips. It seemed that she had something to say to To Look Around.
But To Look Around Li Xue didn't notice Ye Zi's strange gaze. She smiled and said, "Boss, I've finished my work for today. The customer is very satisfied with my performance."
"That's good." Ye Zi blinked her long eyelashes.
Li Xue held To Look Around Li Xue's hand, looked at Ye Zi, and then looked at Lin Yan. She smiled and said, "Then we won't disturb the two of you."
After that, Li Xue turned around and left the restaurant with To Look Around Li Xue.
Under the table, Ye Zi's hands were tightly clenched into fists.
She didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling in her heart. It seemed that it was going to happen tonight.
Moreover, this matter more or less had something to do with Li Xue.
Right now, Ye Zi really wanted to know what had happened in the Famous Condominium that year. How could a woman have two faces?
When she was alone with her, Li Xue was like a child who had done something wrong. She was timid and timid like a mouse.
When she was facing the police, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She was calm and composed.
But in front of Li Xue, she seemed to have changed back to the female classmate of the past.
It was said that women were fickle and fickle.
But this Li Xue, the degree of change was a little too fast.
Ye Zi couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She just felt that she could always feel a dangerous aura from this woman.
This feeling was really uncomfortable. There was a feeling of having a fishbone stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow it, and she couldn't spit it out.
Ye Zi could only watch To Look Around Li Xue and leave.
"This woman is not simple."
At this moment, Lin Yan suddenly spoke. Ye Zi frowned slightly and stared at Lin Yan. "What did you just say?!"
Lin Yan opened his lips and said indifferently, "This woman is an expert liar."
Hearing that, Ye Zi's eyes widened. She looked at Lin Yan without blinking. After a long silence, Ye Zi said, "Did you follow me today?"
Lin Yan shook his head. "Don't forget, I just drove to the crime squad to pick you up."
"Then you've seen her before," Ye Zi muttered.
Lin Yan said, "Today is the first time we've met."
"The first time we've met?" Ye Zi blinked her eyes.
If Lin Yan really met Li Xue for the first time, then what he said was really right.
Because Ye Zi could also see this from Li Xue.
"Are you full?" Lin Yan stood up unhurriedly. His movements were slow and graceful. He looked as if he had walked out of a comic book.
Ye Zi nodded and stood up as well. When Lin Yan was about to pay for lunch, the waiter told Lin Yan that the customers at the table had already paid for them.
Lin Yan had ordered imported ingredients for this meal, and it was a waste of time and effort to prepare.
If Lin Yan remembered correctly, this meal should have cost about five or six thousand yuan.
This amount of money was nothing to Lin Yan, but Li Xue …
Ye Zi couldn't help but fall into deep thought again. Why did Li Xue do this?
Ye Zi was silent for a long time before she walked out of the restaurant with Lin Yan.
After a busy afternoon at the detective agency, Ye Zi finally had some free time. After a whole day of work, Ye Zi felt like her whole body was about to fall apart.
Without Yao Anmian and To Look Around, she and Jian Xia couldn't handle it at all.
Ye Zi exhaled and stood up. She simply moved her limbs, and her joints made a "ka ka" sound.
Looking at the quartz clock on the wall, she realized that it was already seven o 'clock at night. If there wasn't a big case in the detective agency, the employees would usually wrap up at around five o' clock.
Seeing that Ye Zi was tired, Jian Xia brought a cup of coffee to her office. Ye Zi drank it in two or three gulps. She handed the cup to Jian Xia and said, "What do you think about what happened today?"
Jian Xia frowned and shook her head. After a while, she opened her mouth and said calmly, "Something's not right …"
In her mind, she inadvertently recalled how she looked when she saw Li Xue. However, what Jian Xia didn't expect was that Li Xue would go through so much trouble to get close to To Look Around.
After thinking for a while, Jian Xia stared at Ye Zi and said in a low voice, "Don't you think that Li Xue seems to be deliberately getting close to Panpan?"
Ye Zi nodded noncommittally. "I think so too."
"She did this …"
Jian Xia didn't finish her sentence.
Ye Zi finished Jian Xia's sentence and said in a low voice, "I think she wants to know something from Panpan."
"Know what?" Jian Xia frowned. Her long and fair fingers tapped on the table rhythmically. "What does she want to know?"
Ye Zi shook her head slightly. "I don't know about this. We'll have to see what Panpan says tomorrow. "
Ye Zi looked at her watch. Half an hour had passed since she and Jian Xia had talked for a while. Only then did she pack her bag. "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. As for any questions, we'll talk tomorrow."
"Alright."
When they walked out of the detective agency, the first snow of early winter had almost melted. The road was extremely muddy. A black Audi Q7 was parked outside the door, the wheels stained with mud.
Ye Zi walked over to Lin Yan's car. She opened the car door and got in. "You must have waited for a long time."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I've only just arrived. Why are you so late today?"
Ye Zi said, "It's because of Li Xue. I keep feeling that this woman is very strange."
"What's strange about her?"
"I can't put my finger on it. In short, she's very strange."
Lin Yan started the car. The headlights were especially dazzling in the dark. The flowing light shone on the steps, forming a silhouette.
Ye Zi's eyes widened suddenly. She seemed to have thought of something.
Her gaze was focused on the headlights. Even when Lin Yan turned the car around, Ye Zi still hadn't come back to her senses.
"What are you thinking about? Is it about that woman's case? "
Lin Yan saw that Ye Zi was in a daze. He pressed his brows slightly and asked Ye Zi.
Ye Zi nodded. "I think I've thought of the key. So, let's not go home yet. Send me to the sleeping pills' place."
"It's already so late." Lin Yan reminded her.
However, Ye Zi didn't take it to heart. Right now, she only hoped that she could find the real murderer for the victim.
"I just found something. Now, I want to find the sleeping pills to confirm it." Ye Zi was a little excited. She had finally found the root of the problem. She wouldn't allow this matter to end in failure.
Lin Yan could see how much Ye Zi loved her salary.
If he didn't let Ye Zi look for the sleeping pills tonight, she probably wouldn't stay at home.
She was like a naughty little pepper. If he didn't let her find the root of the problem, Ye Zi probably wouldn't fall asleep tonight.
