Ye Zi's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. Her hands couldn't stop trembling, and she had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yan turned to look at Ye Zi. Seeing that her face was as pale as a sheet and her tightly pursed lips were trembling slightly, he frowned and asked Ye Zi in a low voice.
Ye Zi handed the phone to Lin Yan with trembling hands. "Look."
Lin Yan took the phone. The moment the red light turned green, he saw the contents of the text message. His eyes, which were like black rocks, suddenly darkened and his expression changed a few times.
"What's going on?!" Lin Yan's voice was deep. The moment he looked at Ye Zi, his eyes were like a bottomless, cold lake.
Ye Zi pursed her lips and shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe this text message has something to do with the disappearance of the Panda."
"I … …" Ye Zi bit her lips hard, her pupils suddenly constricting in her eye sockets.
She was so scared that even her voice became shaky. "I'm worried that the Panda is in danger."
"Send him a text message." Lin Yan stepped hard on the accelerator, and the car became extremely fast. "Tell him that you still don't know what the gift is."
Ye Zi did as Lin Yan said. After a while, she received the person's reply on her phone.
"Why? You still don't know?"
Ye Zi read the text message to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan said, "Ask him what he knows."
Ye Zi did as she was told.
In a flash, the phone vibrated. The person sent a short video. To Look Around Me in the video, her long hair was disheveled, and she was tied to a chair. Her body was dimly lit, and it looked like she was in a karaoke room.
Ye Zi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. To Look Around Me was really in trouble.
Obviously, this person's target was not To Look Around, but himself.
This was what Ye Zi was most worried about. After so many years of research on criminal psychology, Ye Zi could see that this person would not hurt her. To Look Around, he was enjoying himself.
It was a game of cat and mouse. If he wanted to find joy in it, then he wouldn't hurt Gu Panpan, because that would make Ye Zi very sad, very sad.
Before a cat catches a mouse, it will not directly kill the mouse. It will torture the mouse. In this way, the cat will find pleasure from the mouse.
Since he was enjoying the game, what could be more fun than watching Ye Zi search anxiously?
If he killed To Look Around, the police would definitely intervene. At that time, this game would not be fun anymore.
Ye Zi understood this logic, but she was too worried. In addition, she was nervous, so she didn't pay attention to it for a moment.
At this moment, Lin Yan said, "Play the video again."
At the next corner, Lin Yan stepped on the brakes. The black Jeep Cherokee reflected the light, appearing dark and gloomy. He looked at the video on Ye Zi's phone, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
A second time, a third time, a fourth time …
Lin Yan watched the video over and over again, as if he was trying to find some clues.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "This isn't To Look Around Me."
"What?" Ye Zi suspected that she didn't hear him clearly. She frowned and looked at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan said, "From the length of the girl's hair in the video, this girl isn't Panda."
Ye Zi played the video again, but she didn't find anything wrong. The girl in the video, whether it was her figure or clothes, was exactly the same as To Look Around. However, Lin Yan could tell that she wasn't To Look Around. Perhaps even Ye Zi wouldn't believe it.
Lin Yan explained, "I still remember that day at Yao Mianan's house. To Look Around Me also had loose hair. At that time, I remember that her hair didn't reach her waist."
Ye Zi looked at the video and realized that the girl's hair was very long. Her bangs covered most of her face, and the ends of her hair covered her waist.
"Call Yao Mianan. Panda should still be at the detective agency," Lin Yan said firmly.
"She's still at the detective agency?"
Ye Zi was very confused and murmured.
Lin Yan nodded and said, "Yes, Panda is still at the detective agency."
"It's very difficult to take a living person away during the day. Moreover, Panda is a private detective, so it would be even more difficult to take her away. I think he must have drugged Panda and locked her somewhere in the detective agency."
Hearing this, Ye Zi's eyes widened. The detective agency had been renovated. Ye Zi had purposely made the basement into an old archive room, which stored some old files. Under normal circumstances, no one would go there.
She hurriedly dialed Yao Mianan's number and told Lin Yan's guess to Yao Mianan.
A moment later, Yao Mianan's exclamation came from the phone, "Boss, you're right. Panda is indeed in the basement."
Hearing this, Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't be happy too early."
Suddenly, Lin Yan's low and magnetic voice came into Ye Zi's ears.
Ye Zi frowned and stared at Lin Yan, "Why do you say so?"
Lin Yan pondered and said, "Today I found a clue. What if no one found it?"
Ye Zi thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Panda will be trapped in the archive room where no one goes. After a long time, she will definitely …"
"Yes." Lin Yan's voice was a little lower, "The detective agency's staff will be trapped in the archive room of the detective agency. In a fully enclosed archive room, there is no air, no food, and no water. To Look Around Panda, there will only be one result, death!"
Lin Yan emphasized the word "death", as if he was reminding Ye Zi.
That's right. To Look Around Panda will only end up being trapped in there until she dies. At that time, it will become an accident. According to Ye Zi's character, the detective agency will probably close down.
Lin Yan started the car and continued to speed toward the detective agency.
After the car stopped, Ye Zi unfastened her seatbelt and rushed into the detective agency.
"How is it?" Ye Zi grabbed Yao Mianan's arm and asked anxiously.
Yao Mianan let out a long breath and looked at To Look Around Panda, who was sleeping on the sofa, and sighed, "I wonder how long she will sleep."
Lin Yan parked the car and came to the detective agency. He went straight to the sofa and lifted To Look Around Panda's eyelids. He couldn't help but frown.
Yao Mianan felt that something was wrong and asked, "Mr. Lin, is there a problem?"
"Send her to the hospital," Lin Yan said in a deep voice.
"What's wrong with her?" Yao Mianan asked anxiously.
Lin Yan said in a deep voice, "She inhaled a lot of ether. She must be sent to the hospital."
…
Ye Zi sat on the bench in the hospital corridor and looked at the medical staff passing by. Her heart felt like it was pressed by a square stone, and she couldn't breathe.
Lin Yan bought two bottles of mineral water and gave one to Yao Mianan. He took the other and sat beside Ye Zi.
He opened the cap and took a sip before putting it into Ye Zi's hand.
"Heh." Ye Zi smiled bitterly. Her pale lips slightly opened and she said in a deep voice, "Are you worried that someone will poison me?"
Lin Yan didn't say anything and just smiled faintly.
Ye Zi and Lin Yan had been together for a long time. Although Lin Yan would pour water for her and open the cap like a gentleman, he would never take a sip before handing it to Ye Zi. He must be worried about her.
Ye Zi drank a mouthful of water and lightly sighed. She said in a distant voice, "Don't worry, he's enjoying the pleasure of torturing me. He won't kill me so early."
"You know?" Lin Yan frowned.
"It's already so obvious. Even if you want to hide it, I'm not a fool." Hehe, it's not like I'm an idiot. "Ye Zi's expression was very indifferent as she curled her lips and said softly to Lin Yan.
From the beginning, when Ye Zi lost the book at home, she should have realized that she was being watched by someone.
But during this period of time, the case of the Celebrity Apartment on fire made Ye Zi have no time to think about other things.
After today's incident, Ye Zi had connected all the dots.
During this period of time, there was indeed someone secretly watching her. The feeling of being watched was not wrong in Ye Zi's judgment. However, Ye Zi did not expect that it would involve To Look Around.
At this time, the doctor came out of the emergency room. Yao Mianan rushed over first and asked the doctor, "How is my girlfriend?"
The doctor said, "She is fine. She will wake up in a while."
Ye Zi walked into the ward and looked at To Look Around, who seemed to be asleep on the bed. Her heart suddenly hurt, as if something had been hit hard.
She bit her lower lip and made a decision. "During this period of time, don't go to the detective agency. Take good care of Panda."
"Boss …"
Yao Mianan just wanted to say something, but he saw that Ye Zi suddenly raised her hand and stopped him.
Ye Zi said again, "Listen to me first."
She smiled and walked to the bed. Looking at To Look Around's pale face, Ye Zi couldn't help but frown. She pulled up a strand of Look Around's long hair and put it beside her ear. She turned to look at Yao Mianan and said lightly, "Panda doesn't have any relatives in Binhai City. You have to take good care of her. If you don't take good care of her, I will hold you responsible."
Yao Mianan seemed to have something to say, but looking at Ye Zi's face, he nodded and agreed.
Ye Zi patted Yao Mianan's shoulder. "You also have to take care of yourself."
After that, Ye Zi turned and walked out of the ward.
On the way out of the hospital, Ye Zi didn't say a word. When she sat in Lin Yan's car, Lin Yan suddenly took her hand.
Ye Zi looked at him with a frown.
Lin Yan smiled faintly. His thin lips slightly opened, and his voice was cold. "Don't try to push me away like you pushed them away."
"I …" Ye Zi's tears were rolling in her eyes.
She didn't like to cry, but at this moment …
She leaned on Lin Yan's shoulder and smiled with tears streaming down her face. You love to see, how can you not follow this WeChat public account?
