Chen Mo furrowed his brows and suddenly turned his head to look at the three people standing at the door.
Ye Zi pursed her lips and stepped forward. She said calmly, "Brother Chen Mo, didn't I tell you that Qin Chen really didn't come here? Now that you've looked for him, you should believe me, right?"
Chen Mo didn't say anything. He ignored Ye Zi and walked straight out of the door.
Seeing Chen Mo leave, Ye Zi heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jian Xia. She asked with a puzzled expression, "Where did Qin Chen go?!"
Jian Xia also had a doubtful expression as she shook her head slightly.
At this time, Lin Yan walked to the window and reached out to knock on it.
At this time, Ye Zi and Jian Xia saw a big pale hand grab the windowsill at the same time. Then, Qin Chen jumped in with the help of Lin Yan.
It should be noted that this was the 22nd floor!
Jian Xia was scared out of her wits. She froze there and didn't move an inch. Fine beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead and her pupils shrank in their sockets.
It was early winter and it had just snowed. The thin layer was wet and slippery. If Qin Chen wasn't careful, he would fall from the building.
When that happened …
Jian Xia didn't dare to continue thinking about it. She only felt her heart beating like a drum. In a flash, she regained her senses and quickly stepped forward. With a wave of her hand, she slapped Qin Chen's face hard.
It should be noted that Jian Xia was so close to losing him forever.
Jian Xia didn't say a word. She grabbed her bag on the bed and turned to leave.
Qin Chen wanted to pull her back, but when he stretched out his hand, the wound instantly burst open, and blood instantly dyed his shirt red.
The pain instantly spread all over Qin Chen's body. He couldn't help but frown and gasp. "Hiss!"
When Jian Xia heard this, she hurriedly turned around as tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace. She quickly walked up to support Qin Chen and grumbled, "Do you want to die?!"
Qin Chen's pale face turned red. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Everything happened so suddenly that I could only lie on the windowsill."
Jian Xia glared at Qin Chen fiercely. Ignoring the pain on his body, she twisted his arm hard.
Qin Chen took advantage of the situation and hurriedly pretended to be in pain. He leaned on Jian Xia's body and repeatedly shouted, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts."
Jian Xia frowned and looked at him with concern. "The wound has burst open. Hurry and lie down."
Qin Chen leaned on Jian Xia's body and put his hands behind his back. He waved at Ye Zi and Lin Yan, gesturing for them to leave.
Lin Yan curled his lips slightly. Looking at Qin Chen's appearance, he knew that he was fine. Then, he pulled Ye Zi out of the room. The moment he closed the door, Lin Yan suddenly frowned and asked Ye Zi, "What happened just now?!"
Hearing this, Ye Zi's face instantly tensed up. She stared at Lin Yan without blinking. She looked extremely nervous and subconsciously held Lin Yan's hand tighter. "Brother Chen Mo said that Qin Chen killed someone!!"
"Qin Chen killed someone?!"
Obviously, Lin Yan didn't believe this at all.
Ye Zi nodded noncommittally and said in a low voice, "That's what Brother Chen Mo said, but I still don't know what exactly happened. Do you want me to investigate?"
Lin Yan shook his head slightly. His fair and long fingers rested on his chiseled chin. He narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out who Qin Chen had enmity with, and who he would kill.
Qin Chen was agile. He wouldn't leave any evidence for Chen Mo to investigate.
Ye Zi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lin Yan. "Lin Yan, what are you thinking about?!"
Lin Yan's expression was extremely ugly. His uncertain expression made Ye Zi unable to tell what Lin Yan was thinking at this moment.
His thin lips parted slightly, and Lin Yan said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't investigate for now. I need to communicate with Qin Chen about this. Oh right, didn't you say you were going to buy something to eat? I'm a little hungry now … "
Hearing this, Ye Zi finally remembered the reason why she went out. She quickly slapped her head. "Look at my head. It's all Brother Chen Mo's fault. I'll go buy it now."
With that, Ye Zi quickly walked into the elevator that had just stopped.
Lin Yan stood at the door and smiled at Ye Zi. His smile was filled with love and tenderness. The moment the elevator door closed, Lin Yan's expression changed. He narrowed his eyes, turned around slowly, and opened the door.
Qin Chen seemed to know that Lin Yan would come, and he also sent Jian Xia away.
When Jian Xia saw Lin Yan walk in, she got up and left the room.
Qin Chen's face was ghastly pale. It was as if all the blood in his body had been sucked dry by a vampire. He leaned against the headboard, and his gloomy face seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.
Lin Yan didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. "Did you find something?"
Qin Chen nodded slightly. He wanted to sit up straight, but his wound didn't allow him to. He coughed twice, causing his wound to bleed again. "Cough, cough …"
Lin Yan handed him a bottle of water. "Speak slowly."
Qin Chen took a sip of water, and his breathing stabilized. "I found out that the fire that year wasn't an accident. However, when I got closer to the truth, it seemed that someone was deliberately hiding it. I went to Huaihai Road No. 3 and found Uncle Lin that year …"
Before Qin Chen could finish speaking, Jian Xia suddenly knocked on the door. Immediately after, she pushed the door open and entered. She asked Qin Chen and Lin Yan, "What do you guys want to eat tonight?"
Lin Yan turned around and looked at Jian Xia. "I just asked Ye Zi to buy it. Oh yes, I forgot to tell her to buy Qin Chen raw fish porridge. Sorry to trouble you …"
Jian Xia nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll go now. You guys continue talking."
After Jian Xia left, Lin Yan's expression became extremely solemn. His gaze was extremely sharp, like a sharp sickle that could take someone's life in an instant.
"Continue."
Qin Chen nodded. "I found out that Uncle Lin didn't die in an accident. Instead, he was already dead before the fire. As for why he appeared on Huaihai Road, I haven't found out yet."
"How did you get injured?" Lin Yan stared at Qin Chen and asked in a low voice.
Qin Chen said, "When I was investigating the cause of Uncle Lin's death, I was attacked by an unknown person. It happened suddenly, so I was stabbed."
Lin Yan nodded, and his long fingers touched his well-defined chin.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yan asked again, "Other than that, did you meet anyone else?"
Qin Chen thought about it carefully. After a while, he shook his head. "There was only one person who attacked me."
"Is he still alive?" Lin Yan asked.
Qin Chen said, "His injury shouldn't be serious …"
"That's strange." Lin Yan did not wait for Qin Chen to finish and interrupted Qin Chen's words. "Do you know why Chen Mo came here today?"
Qin Chen did not understand why Lin Yan would mention Chen Mo at this time. He shook his head and looked like he was waiting for Lin Yan to solve his doubts.
Lin Yan's eyes darkened. His dark eyes were like a piece of obsidian. He blinked his eyes, his long eyelashes leaving two silhouettes under his eyes. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was so deep that it almost seemed to sink into the mud. "Chen Mo said that you killed him!"
"Killed, killed him?!"
Qin Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Yan without blinking.
Qin Chen did not continue to speak. The room fell into a dead silence, and a pin drop could be heard.
After a long while, Qin Chen's pale lips spilled a sentence. "I'm very sure that I did not kill him."
Lin Yan nodded slightly. He believed in Qin Chen. As long as Qin Chen said that he did not kill him, then he must be innocent. Lin Yan knew how accurate Qin Chen's hands were.
But, this was strange. Who was it that had done this behind Qin Chen's back and made him a suspect?
Qin Chen said, "I should go to the crime squad. Only then can I clear my name."
Lin Yan said, "Take care of your body for the time being. I will deal with this matter."
Not long after, Ye Zi and Jian Xia came back with two bags of food. Lin Yan and Qin Chen did not mention a word about what had just happened.
After the meal, Lin Yan asked Jian Xia to stay and take care of Qin Chen, and he and Ye Zi went next door.
After this day, Ye Zi felt very, very tired. She had lied to Chen Mo and felt a sense of guilt in her heart.
Buzz …
Her phone vibrated and made a real buzzing sound. Ye Zi saw that it was a message from Ren Tianye.
"Miss Yeh, I think I found some clues about the fire four years ago. I wonder if I can meet you. I will wait for you at Junhui International Hotel."
The content of the message was as follows.
Ye Zi thought for a while and wrote a message. "Okay, I will be there in an hour."
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Yan saw that Ye Zi was looking at her phone, so he walked behind her and hugged her.
Ye Zi turned her head and revealed a faint smile. "It's nothing. There's a client who wants to invite me to Junhui International Hotel. He said he found some information about the case."
"Junhui International Hotel?"
Lin Yan blinked. His thick eyelashes swept over Ye Zi's face, which made her feel ticklish.
"Is there a problem?" Ye Zi asked with a frown.
Lin Yan shook his head. "Nothing."
The Junhui International Hotel was located on the current Huaihai Road, and it was the number three that Qin Chen had mentioned.
