Number 3, Huaihai Road, Junhui International Hotel.
All of Binhai City's business elites and socialites gathered here. It had the reputation of being the trade window of Binhai City.
Ye Zi stood outside the Junhui International Hotel and looked around. The cheapest car probably cost a few million. These rich people were very high-profile. No matter how she looked at them, they couldn't compare to Lin Yan.
In Binhai City, there was probably no one who had more assets than Lin Yan, but he only drove a black Jeep Cherokee.
In Ye Zi's heart, no one could compare to Lin Yan. They were flashy, cynical, and indulged in debauchery every night. How could they compare to Lin Yan?
Thinking of Lin Yan, the corners of Ye Zi's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Walking into Junhui International Hotel, Ye Zi only saw one word: rich.
It was so dazzling that Ye Zi thought she had transmigrated to ancient times if she wasn't careful.
A staff in a suit walked towards her. He stopped in front of Ye Zi and asked with a smile, "Miss, you are …"
"I'm looking for someone." Ye Zi looked down at her casual outfit. If she didn't tell the truth, she would probably be kicked out on the spot.
"Miss, which room is the person you're looking for staying in? We need to verify."
"Mr. Ren in room 2046," Ye Zi said.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
A moment later, the staff returned and looked at Ye Zi with a smile. "Miss Yeh, Mr. Ren is asking you to go upstairs."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture. "Miss Yeh, this way please."
Ye Zi followed him up the private staircase and went straight to the 20th floor of the hotel. She was very curious as to what kind of business this Mr. Ren was doing to actually stay in such an expensive hotel. The price of staying here for a night was at least 8,000 if not 10,000 yuan.
Ding dong.
Soon, the elevator stopped on the 20th floor. The staff was very polite and attentive. He guided Ye Zi to Ren Tianye's room before turning around and leaving.
Ye Zi stood outside room 2046 and rang the doorbell.
When the door opened, Ren Tianye appeared in front of Ye Zi in a white nightgown.
Ren Tianye's face was as pale as paper. His wrist holding the doorknob was even more delicate than Ye Zi's. He coughed twice and said, "Miss Ye Zi, you're here."
Looking at Ren Tianye, who looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, Ye Zi frowned slightly and supported Ren Tianye's arm. "Mr. Ren, are you alright?"
Ren Tianye smiled bitterly and nodded slightly at Ye Zi. "It's an old problem. All these years, I put all my attention on work and worked late into the night. I didn't know that my body was overworked, but now … Cough, cough, cough …"
Ye Zi helped him sit down, picked up the teapot on the coffee table, and poured him a cup of tea. "Mr. Ren, drink some tea first. Don't be too anxious."
"Cough, cough …" Ren Tianye clenched his fists, covered his mouth and nose, and kept coughing. After a while, he smiled at Ye Zi and sighed softly. However, his tone was very calm. "I don't have much time. I want to know the truth about the fire as soon as possible."
Ye Zi asked, "Mr. Ren, didn't you call me here to find clues about the fire?"
Ren Tianye nodded slightly and said, "It's a coincidence. When I was reading the newspaper a few days ago, I accidentally saw a girl committing suicide in Mingshi Apartments. I remember that her family was my neighbor at that time. The girl's name is …"
"Li Xue."
"Yes, that's right."
Ren Tianye gasped and nodded at Ye Zi. "That girl's name is Li Xue. I remember that her house was the first to catch fire."
Ye Zi nodded and said, "That's right."
Ren Tianye said, "This girl, Li Xue, isn't as obedient and sensible as she looks on the surface. Her parents are teachers, and they are very old-fashioned. However, this girl is very lively. I remember that before the fire, she even had an argument with her parents."
"Quarreled?" Ye Zi knitted her brows, looking unblinkingly at Ren Tianye, as if waiting for him to continue speaking.
Ren Tianye nodded slightly and said, "It seems that she had a boyfriend at that time, but the boy was a hooligan. Her parents didn't agree, so she made a big fuss. She even said that if they didn't agree, she would die. Sigh! Haha … "
Ren Tianye smiled bitterly and said, "But no one expected that it was her parents who died."
"Mr. Ren, you mean to say …" Ye Zi frowned deeply and her eyes narrowed abruptly. "The death of Li Xue's parents and this fire might have something to do with Li Xue?"
Ren Tianye nodded and said, "That's all I know. I need Miss Yeh to continue investigating."
Ye Zi nodded and said, "This is a very important clue. I will continue investigating."
After chatting for a while, Ye Zi looked at the time and got up to leave. "Mr. Ren, it's very late now. I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye."
Ren Tianye walked Ye Zi to the door and watched as Ye Zi left.
As Ye Zi took the elevator, her mind kept thinking about Li Xue. It was not until the elevator stopped that Ye Zi quickly walked out of the elevator.
"Hiss! Ah! "
Someone rushed into the elevator and bumped into Ye Zi. She looked back in pain and saw the elevator door close. She vaguely saw a man get into the elevator.
The man looked familiar and gave Ye Zi a sense of déjà vu. However, Ye Zi didn't see the man's face clearly and couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Ye Zi decided not to think about it and walked out of Junhui International Hotel.
Beep beep beep …
She walked to the side of the road and wanted to hail a taxi. However, a black Jeep Cherokee suddenly stopped in front of her.
Ye Zi blinked. Wasn't Lin Yan's car broken down?
She looked at the license plate and confirmed that it was indeed Lin Yan's car.
The car window slowly rolled down. It was indeed Lin Yan.
Ye Zi walked over and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Lin Yan said, "To take my girlfriend home, of course."
Ye Zi smiled slightly and couldn't help but blush. She got into the car and Lin Yan turned the car around. He started the car and headed in the direction of Xinglan Bay Apartments.
…
Ding dong.
Ren Tianye's doorbell rang. He thought that Ye Zi had left something here, so he opened the door without thinking too much.
However, the person who appeared in front of Ren Tianye was a man he had never met before.
Ren Tianye frowned and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
The man smiled at Ren Tianye and said respectfully, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Ren. I'm a private detective from the Scent Detective Agency. Our boss didn't get a clear answer to some questions, so he assigned me to ask you."
Ren Tianye believed the man. He turned around and tidied up the room. Then, he turned around and walked in. However, the man behind him suddenly took out a rope from his pocket and strangled Ren Tianye's neck.
Ren Tianye had been sick for a long time. His body was weak and frail, so he didn't have the strength to resist the man.
"Uh … You …"
He wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn't make a sound. He turned around and saw a handsome face, which was even clearer under the light.
It was a face he was familiar with. He had seen it a few times in the past few years. It was also because of this man's guidance that Ren Tianye returned to China and found Ye Zi.
He still remembered that he had hoped that Ren Tianye could keep his identity a secret. However, he was now …
He used more and more strength, and the rope was embedded in Ren Tianye's skin, leaving a deep bruise. Ren Tianye could no longer breathe.
There was not a single trace of blood on his deathly pale face. Veins popped up on his forehead, and cold sweat rolled down his cheeks. His eyes rolled back, and gradually, he lost his senses.
Even when death came, Ren Tianye didn't understand why the man wanted to kill him.
After the man killed someone, he appeared very calm. He sat on the sofa, picked up an apple from the coffee table, and took a bite. Perhaps he felt that the taste was not good, so he threw it into the trash can.
Then, he began to look for something in Ren Tianye's room. After a while, he walked to the safe in the room, took out some tape from his pocket, and stuck it on the combination lock.
Ren Tianye's fingerprints were clearly printed on the tape, and the password was 06267. After he entered the password, the safe opened. He looked through a thick stack of documents, but he didn't find what he was looking for.
He curled his lips and put all the documents back to their original positions. He closed the door of the safe, turned around, and walked out of Ren Tianye's room.
Ren Tianye's body was found by the cleaning staff the next morning.
Chen Mo led a team to the Junhui International Hotel. From the list of guests that day, Chen Mo saw Ye Zi's name at a glance.
Ye Zi's time of death coincided with Ren Tianye's.
"Chen Dui, this …"
Bai Yang frowned. He stared at the list of guests in Chen Mo's hands, and his expression became very ugly.
During this period of time, there seemed to be such things surrounding Ye Zi. Even Chen Mo had noticed that something was wrong.
In Chen Mo's opinion, Ye Zi was comparable to Detective Conan. No matter where she went, there would be a murder.
"Chen Dui, do you want me to bring someone to find the little girl?" Bai Yang asked with a frown.
Chen Mo shook his head slightly and muttered to himself for a moment. As if he had made an important decision, he said to Bai Yang, enunciating each word, "Yu Sheng, we'll investigate her as usual."
"Ah!?"
Bai Yang's eyes widened, and he stared at Chen Mo in astonishment.
