Ye Zi frowned and looked at Chen Mo without blinking. From Chen Mo's expression, Ye Zi could see that he was very nervous. Moreover, it was urgent. Something must have happened. Otherwise, Chen Mo would rarely have such an expression on his face.
Ye Zi couldn't help but think of Qin Chen's injury. She frowned and shook her head. "He didn't come. Brother Chen Mo, did something happen? "
Chen Mo's expression was solemn, as if there was a thick layer of dark clouds covering his face. In the next second, a storm would start.
Ye Zi saw that Chen Mo's expression had changed from cloudy to stormy. She subconsciously narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is this about Qin Chen? Since you're here, it must be something big, right? "
Chen Mo pondered for a moment and nodded noncommittally. "Qin Chen …"
He paused and stared at Ye Zi's tense face. He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "He killed someone!"
"Killed someone?!" Ye Zi was shocked, and her expression changed abruptly. It was even faster than Chen Mo's expression.
Ye Zi realized that her voice was a little loud. She looked around. When she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she asked softly, "What's going on? Qin Chen is a lawyer. Why would he do such a knowingly illegal thing?! "
Chen Mo twisted his eyebrows and shook his head slightly. He pondered and said, "The specific matter is still under investigation. However, according to the investigation at the scene, Qin Chen's fingerprints and blood were on the murder weapon. He must cooperate with the police in the investigation."
Qin Chen was now seriously injured and needed to rest quietly. At this time, if he was taken away by Chen Mo, it would not be good for Qin Chen's injury. In addition, Ye Zi believed that Qin Chen was innocent. As the most famous lawyer in Binhai City, how could he do such a thing?
But when she thought of Qin Chen's injury, Ye Zi still had doubts.
Chen Mo saw that Ye Zi didn't speak, so he asked, "What's wrong? Did you think of something? "
Hearing that, Ye Zi looked up and shook her head slightly. "No, I'm just thinking, could there be any misunderstanding in this case?"
"This case still needs to be investigated, but right now, the police can't find Qin Chen. The last geographical location of his car was at Xinglan Bay Apartments, so …"
"He didn't come here," Ye Zi said firmly.
Chen Mo stared at Ye Zi. She was his master's daughter and had received his teachings. It was not difficult for her to read people. More importantly, Ye Zi's ability to lie was also very good. Even a lie detector could not detect that Ye Zi was lying.
Chen Mo frowned and lowered his voice to ask again, "Are you sure that Qin Chen didn't come here?"
Ye Zi nodded. "I'm sure. I was with Lin Yan the whole day. If you don't believe me, you can go up and take a look. Lin Yan has a fever and is resting at home."
After saying that, Ye Zi pointed her chin in the direction of the apartment and said, "Let's go. I'll bring you back."
Chen Mo raised his hand and touched his chin. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Zi. Then, he followed Ye Zi into Xinglan Bay Apartments.
Ye Zi put her hand into her pocket and quickly unlocked her phone. While Chen Mo was pressing the elevator button, Ye Zi glanced at her phone and found Lin Yan's WeChat contact. She wrote one word: Chen.
When Chen Mo turned around, Ye Zi acted as if nothing had happened. She was still frowning, as if she was concerned about Qin Chen's case.
Ding dong.
The elevator stopped and Ye Zi walked out first.
The reason why Ye Zi walked in front of Chen Mo was to let Chen Mo see that she didn't say anything when she saw Lin Yan. Only then could she prove that she wasn't lying.
Chen Mo followed closely behind Ye Zi and arrived at the door.
Ye Zi touched the door and realized that she didn't bring the key, so she pressed the doorbell.
Lin Yan opened the door, and the first thing he said was, "Idiot, you forgot the key again …"
He saw Chen Mo standing beside Ye Zi and couldn't help but frown. Lin Yan always felt that Chen Mo and Ye Zi were childhood friends, which made him very uncomfortable.
Lin Yan glanced at Chen Mo and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
"Why? Can't I be here? "
Ye Zi raised her hand to her forehead. From the beginning, the two of them had a feeling that they were at loggerheads.
"Heh!" Lin Yan sneered. His thin lips slightly opened and his voice was as cold as frost. "Of course you can. No matter what, you are Ye Zi's brother."
The word "brother" was used just right. Lin Yan instantly fixed the relationship between Chen Mo and Ye Zi.
Chen Mo's face changed and asked softly, "Why don't you invite me in?"
Lin Yan turned his body slightly and said, "Please."
Ye Zi's rented room wasn't big. It only had one bedroom and one living room. Chen Mo only needed a glance to see if there was anyone hiding there.
Chen Mo sat on the sofa and looked around the room. There were no bloodstains, which confirmed what Ye Zi had said before. Qin Chen hadn't been here.
Ye Zi also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had cleaned up the bloodstains upstairs and downstairs when she went downstairs. Otherwise, Chen Mo would definitely know that Qin Chen was now next door.
"Brother Chen Mo, what would you like to drink?" Ye Zi walked to the door of the kitchen and turned to look at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo smiled faintly. "No need. I'll leave after I take a look."
Lin Yan frowned slightly and asked Chen Mo, "Chief Chen Dui, are you here to check if I have taken good care of Ye Zi?"
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Of course not."
Lin Yan said, "Then …"
"Oh yes, did Qin Chen come to look for you?"
Chen Mo got up and walked to the door. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Yan.
The expression on his face was very indifferent and cold, as if he was talking about something very normal. If Ye Zi hadn't gotten some information from Chen Mo beforehand, she would have been deceived by the indifferent expression on Chen Mo's face.
Lin Yan shook his head slightly. "He applied for leave from the company and hasn't been to the legal department for the past few days."
"Oh?!"
The "oh" that came out of Chen Mo's mouth was meaningful. He looked at Lin Yan with a faint smile and observed every detail of his expression.
Lin Yan looked even more innocent than Chen Mo. It was as if everything that had just happened had never happened. He looked calm and collected. "Does Chief Chen Dui not believe me?"
"How could that be?" Chen Mo said, "If Lawyer Qin's leave ends, please inform me, Mr. Lin."
Lin Yan suddenly frowned and walked in front of Chen Mo. He asked doubtfully, "Did something happen to Qin Chen?!"
Chen Mo gave Lin Yan a smile. "There is a case that requires Lawyer Qin's cooperation in the investigation."
"Oh." Lin Yan nodded slightly and said, "Well, if Qin Chen comes back, I will inform Chief Chen Dui as soon as possible."
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Chen Mo opened the door. "Goodbye."
Squeak …
At the same time that Chen Mo opened the door, the door of the next room also opened.
Jian Xia walked out of the next room and happened to meet Chen Mo who was going out.
Ye Zi suddenly closed her eyes. There was a kind of ominous premonition that instantly occupied her whole heart.
Jian Xia didn't know the purpose of Chen Mo's visit. If Jian Xia let it slip, it meant that both Ye Zi and Lin Yan had lied to Chen Mo just now. At that time, it would be hard to say.
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and scanned Jian Xia's body with his indifferent but sharp eyes.
If he remembered correctly, Jian Xia should be Qin Chen's girlfriend.
Chen Mo walked in front of Jian Xia and asked with a smile, "Miss Jian also lives here?"
Ye Zi, who was standing behind Chen Mo, nodded at Jian Xia. When Chen Mo turned his head, Ye Zi leaned on Lin Yan's arm as if nothing had happened.
Although Jian Xia didn't know what had happened, Ye Zi was indeed winking at her. This was something that Jian Xia could still see.
She nodded gently and replied, "Yes, I just moved here."
"Oh, I see." Chen Mo said indifferently, "My house is going to be renovated recently. I wonder if I can go in and take a look."
Ye Zi shook her head vigorously.
Jian Xia said, "I'm sorry, Elder Chen Dui. Because I just moved here, the house is still a bit messy. It's a bit inconvenient. How about another day …"
"It doesn't matter." Chen Mo inadvertently frowned when no one noticed.
Chen Mo guessed that perhaps Qin Chen might be here now.
If this was the case, it meant that Ye Zi and Lin Yan had just lied. Chen Mo more or less understood the relationship between Qin Chen and Lin Yan.
If Qin Chen was next door to Lin Yan, it was impossible that he didn't know. It was even possible that Lin Yan had arranged for Qin Chen to live here.
While speaking, Chen Mo had already passed Jian Xia and held the doorknob. Then, under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The window of the living room was open. This was deliberately opened by Jian Xia to dispel the smell of blood in the room.
Chen Mo frowned and looked around the living room. Indeed, there was no sign of Qin Chen.
He walked to the first room on the left, which was Lin Yan's study. When he opened the door, there was no one in the study, nor in the second bedroom.
The only place where he could hide was the master bedroom.
Chen Mo walked quickly to the door. When he was about to push the door open, he suddenly heard Jian Xia's voice behind him. "Elder Chen Dui, are you looking for something?"
Chen Mo turned his head and smiled. "No, I just feel that your decoration style is very tasteful."
Ye Zi took a deep breath. Qin Chen was resting in the master bedroom. She didn't know how Chen Mo would look at her after Qin Chen was discovered.
Ever since she was a child, she had regarded Chen Mo as her big brother. If she lost this big brother …
"Squeak …"
