Chen Mo frowned as he looked at Ye Zi, deep in thought. He felt that Ye Zi was in danger.
Four years ago, his master had died in a fire at Celebrity Apartments.
As for the deceased, Ren Tianye, he had returned from abroad and went to the Aromatherapy Detective Agency to look for Ye Zi to investigate the fire four years ago. Chen Mo wouldn't believe that these two incidents were unrelated.
After a moment of silence, Chen Mo nodded. "Follow Bai Yang to settle the paperwork. I'll send you back."
When she left the Municipal Crime Squad, Lin Yan's black Jeep Cherokee was already waiting outside. When he saw Ye Zi coming out of the Criminal Police Unit, Lin Yan got out of the car and walked towards Ye Zi.
Facing Chen Mo, Lin Yan was always on guard like a ferocious lion. His face was gloomy, and he stared at Chen Mo coldly. "Chief Chen Dui, I hope you can investigate this case clearly next time and get Ye Zi to cooperate with the investigation."
Chen Mo didn't want to be outdone. He curled his lips and said calmly, "If we don't get Ye Zi to cooperate with the investigation, how can we solve the case?"
"Heh!" Lin Yan sneered, and his eyes were filled with mockery and disdain. "It seems that Chief Chen Dui still needs the help of a little girl to solve the case."
Chen Mo's eyes darkened. "The citizens have the right to assist the police in solving the case …"
Before he could finish his words, Ye Zi slapped both of Chen Mo's and Lin Yan's shoulders. She shook her head helplessly and said, "When can the two of you be more peaceful? Do you have to be at each other's throats the moment you meet?"
The two burly men didn't speak a word after being slapped by Ye Zi.
In an instant, the atmosphere was so awkward that only the breathing of the three of them could be heard.
"Get in the car." Lin Yan coldly spat out two words from between his teeth.
Ye Zi shrugged and smiled at Chen Mo. "Brother Chen Mo, it's getting late. I'll head back first. I'll inform you immediately if there are any clues."
Chen Mo nodded as he watched Ye Zi follow Lin Yan into the black Jeep Cherokee.
When he turned around, his eyes met Bai Yang's smiling eyes. Knitting his brows, Chen Mo asked, "What are you smiling at?"
Bai Yang patted Chen Mo's shoulder and smiled. "Chen Dui, if you like her, it's not too late to woo her."
"Woo her? Ye Zi is my sister." Chen Mo said in a low voice.
"Your sister." Bai Yang's smile grew wider.
Chen Mo glared at Bai Yang and said angrily, "Your sister."
…
That night, Ye Zi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She felt as though there was a movie in her head, from Ren Tianye's appearance to his death.
Ren Tianye was arranged to return to China to look for her detective agency to investigate the truth of the fire four years ago. Just as they were getting close to the truth, Ren Tianye …
"No, there must be some details. I missed it!"
Ye Zi abruptly sat up on the bed.
Ten minutes after she left Junhui International Hotel, Ren Tianye died. That meant that after she left the hotel …
Wait a minute.
She seemed to have thought of something.
Ye Zi's brows furrowed into a deep crease.
Yes, when she left the hotel, she did see a man enter the elevator.
Moreover, Ye Zi seemed to have seen this man's back somewhere before.
Who on earth would kill a patient who didn't have much time left?!
"Look at the time. Why are you still not sleeping?"
Suddenly, Lin Yan's voice came from beside Ye Zi.
She frowned slightly, picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was already two o 'clock in the middle of the night.
Ye Zi looked apologetic and said to Lin Yan, "I'm sorry."
Lin Yan smiled, took Ye Zi's hand and rubbed it gently. "No matter what, let's talk about it tomorrow. Go to sleep first."
"Okay."
Ye Zi really needed a good rest. Too many things had happened during this period. Investigating the fire of Mingshi Apartments had exhausted Ye Zi's efforts. Then, Qin Chen was injured, and a murder case was involved. Now, Ren Tianye, who had been entrusted to investigate Mingshi Apartments, was also dead.
She was like a tightly wound machine, working non-stop every day.
Ye Zi knew that Lin Yan felt sorry for her.
She smiled calmly and lay down beside Lin Yan. It seemed that she could only sleep peacefully by leaning on the crook of his arm.
The next morning.
When Ye Zi woke up, Lin Yan was not by her side. She put on her slippers and walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas.
Qin Chen and Jian Xia sat on the sofa in the living room. Jian Xia held a plate and fed Qin Chen breakfast. Ye Zi was slightly stunned. The plate in Jian Xia's hand turned out to be hers.
It was very likely that Qin Chen and Jian Xia stole the breakfast that belonged to her when Lin Yan went out.
It was no different from stealing food from a tiger's mouth.
Ye Zi walked over and sat down with relief. She poured herself a glass of water and said lightly, "Isn't it too much to steal someone else's breakfast?" After that, Ye Zi glanced at the spaghetti in the plate. There were no carrots or broccoli in it. It was indeed her taste.
Jian Xia smiled embarrassedly and blushed a little. "Xiaozi, Qin Chen is a patient after all. He was hungry, so …"
Ye Zi shook her head slightly and sighed softly. "Alas! The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse. People value their lovers more than their friends. "
Qin Chen gently touched Ye Zi with his elbow and said with a smile, "Don't be so stingy. After all, I'm also a patient."
Ye Zi glanced at him and snorted. "If you weren't a patient, do you think you would still be sitting here safe and sound?"
The corner of Qin Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
He didn't continue to speak. With a smile on his face, he ate the spaghetti that Jian Xia fed him one mouthful at a time.
Qin Chen's health was very good. In just a few days, the wound had begun to heal. However, he still had a fever occasionally. But with Jian Xia's meticulous care, Ye Zi believed that Qin Chen should recover soon.
Without breakfast, Ye Zi could only take a piece of white bread from the fridge. She took a bite and glanced at the plate in Jian Xia's hand.
The difference was like clouds and mud.
Ye Zi took a sip of water. "Why didn't I see Lin Yan?"
Jian Xia said, "He just went out."
Lin Yan didn't tell her what he was going to do this morning. Ye Zi simply didn't ask. Although she cared about Lin Yan, she knew that she should give him more personal space.
Lin Yan was not only her boyfriend, but also the boss of a listed company.
He should have a lot of work to deal with.
Qin Chen looked at Ye Zi's disappointed expression. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Why? We haven't seen each other for only one morning, and you already miss him?"
Ye Zi glared at him and teased, "Aren't you still the same? You don't see Jian Xia for a second, and you look like you're about to die."
"Uh …"
One is marked by the company one keeps.
Qin Chen felt that the way Ye Zi spoke was becoming more and more similar to Lin Yan.
Ye Zi finished the white bread as if she was chewing wax. She then cleaned up the plate that Qin Chen had used before returning to the living room. Qin Chen was like a master. He crossed his legs and watched TV. Jian Xia accompanied him.
This kind of life was good.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ye Zi's mouth. She turned around and walked into the bedroom. She changed her clothes and pushed the door open. She said to Jian Xia, "You guys stay here. Brother Chen Mo probably won't come again. I'll go to the detective agency first."
"I'll go with you." Jian Xia stood up, but her hand was still held by Qin Chen.
Ye Zi glanced at it, curled her lips, and pointed her chin at Qin Chen. "You'd better stay at home with him. If anything happens, I'll call you."
"I hope nothing happens." Qin Chen interrupted.
Ye Zi glared at him, picked up her backpack, and left the house.
Aroma Detective Agency.
Spring came a little early for Yao Anmian and To Look Around. The two had just gotten together, and they were always inseparable.
It seemed that the air was filled with the smell of love.
Early in the morning, Ye Zi was fed two rounds of dog food. She was a little choked …
"Ahem."
Finally, Ye Zi couldn't stand it anymore after they had secretly kissed for the umpteenth time.
Ye Zi coughed lightly, curled her lips, and said, "Be careful. We are a detective agency, not a matchmaking agency."
Yao Anmian and To Look Around didn't seem to hear Ye Zi's words. They continued to eat their breakfast sweetly and drink their juice.
Ye Zi raised her hand to her forehead. After this otaku became enlightened, his flirting skills were really scary.
She went back to her office and reorganized the cases that had happened during this period.
Ye Zi found that since they went to the Thousand Buddha Rock, the cases accepted by the detective agency became more difficult to solve.
Until now, the murderer of the Thousand Buddha Rock Case, Mu Longyi, had not been arrested.
Ye Zi's long and fair fingers seemed to be rhythmically tapping on the case file as her eyes stared unblinkingly at the computer screen.
Mu Longyi … Mu Longyi …
There was a picture of a handsome boy on the screen. In the picture, Mu Longyi was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans with holes. He had short hair and healthy wheat-colored skin. He was smiling brightly, like a big boy. No one would think that he was a murderer.
This set of pictures was obtained by Ye Zi from the owner of the homestay.
Looking through them one by one, Ye Zi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, Ye Zi's pupils constricted in their sockets. Her hand that was holding the mouse actually trembled slightly.
On the computer monitor, there was a picture of Mu Longyi's back. He turned to look at the back view, that back view was extremely similar to …
The back of the man that Ye Zi saw walking into the elevator at Junhui International Hotel yesterday.
Could it be …
Was that man Mu Longyi?!
Ye Zi's expression became more and more ugly. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the computer screen. If you love reading, how can you not follow this public account? Search for a V letter:
