Qin Chen's expression was extremely ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
..
Why was he so unwelcoming?
Why did he become the crow that brought the funeral?
Sigh! Qin Chen sighed in his heart. He pulled Lin Yan over and stood in front of him. "Bro, am I that unscrupulous? Do I look like a crow? "
Lin Yan squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Qin Chen's face. After a while, he nodded at Qin Chen. "You're a bit unscrupulous."
Qin Chen was speechless. "Fine, fine, fine. I won't stoop to your level."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Why are you looking for me?" Lin Yan got up and walked into the kitchen. He made two cups of coffee and handed one to Qin Chen.
Qin Chen took the coffee, took a sip, and said faintly, "Didn't you ask me to investigate what happened to sister-in-law recently?"
Hearing that it was related to Ye Zi, Lin Yan's expression suddenly changed. His obsidian-like eyes instantly darkened. He grabbed Qin Chen's arm and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Qin Chen put down the coffee cup. "I checked sister-in-law's phone number and found that someone has been sending her text messages recently. Moreover, they are always changing their phone number."
Lin Yan's brows were tightly knitted together.
Someone was constantly changing their phone number to send text messages to Ye Zi!
Lin Yan couldn't figure it out. He basically knew everyone around Ye Zi. This phone number …
Lin Yan asked again, "Can you find out the content of the text messages?"
Qin Chen shook his head and said in a low voice, "This is also the question that I can't figure out."
"What question?" Lin Yan stared at Qin Chen.
Qin Chen glanced at the bedroom from the corner of her eyes. Then, she lowered her voice and whispered into Lin Yan's ear, "The IP address that sent the text message is overseas."
"Out of the country?!" Lin Yan's brows furrowed.
"Yes, it's abroad." Qin Chen nodded. "It seems that he doesn't want others to know that he sent text messages to sister-in-law."
Lin Yan knew Ye Zi's character very well. She was a person who couldn't keep secrets. Usually, if something happened, she would show it on her face.
But this time …
Lin Yan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Qin Chen patted Lin Yan's shoulder. "There's one more thing."
"What?" Lin Yan turned to look at Qin Chen.
Qin Chen pursed his lips. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should say it or not. After all, this matter had been investigated for more than ten years. Seeing that there was some progress, if he gave up now …
But on second thought, Lin Yan finally had a little human aura. Now, Ye Zi was pregnant.
To say it or not to say it was a problem.
Lin Yan looked at Qin Chen's expression and couldn't help but frown. After a moment, he lowered his voice and asked in Qin Chen's ear, "Is it about that matter?"
Qin Chen paused and kept a distance from Lin Yan.
"Ha!"
Seeing Qin Chen's expression, Lin Yan knew that he had guessed correctly. He closed his eyes and said calmly, "Say it. At least, I still want to know if she's doing well. Also, what was that fire all those years ago? "
Qin Chen nodded and told the whole story to Lin Yan in detail, "About three days ago, there was a train coming back from Nanyang City. I had a batch of goods on this train. But when I brought people to unload the goods, I met an old acquaintance."
"Who!?" Lin Yan's face was gloomy and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Qin Chen said, "Luo Ping."
"Luo Ping?" Lin Yan frowned. This name was familiar, but Lin Yan couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Qin Chen continued, "Twenty years ago, the chief of the Binhai City Fire Department. The reason why I said he was an old acquaintance was because he was an old friend of my father. "
"He was Uncle Qin's friend?" Lin Yan's eyebrows became deeper.
Qin Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, "You know, my father didn't have many friends other than Uncle Lin. This Luo Ping, Captain Luo, was a rare confidant of my father. When they were young, they were comrades in arms. Later, my father became a professional, and Luo Ping was assigned to the Binhai City Fire Department."
"That fire …" Lin Yan's heart felt like it was pressed by a huge square stone, making it hard for him to breathe.
Qin Chen's face also became solemn. He said gloomily, "That fire was put out by the Binhai City Fire Department."
"According to the clues that Luo Ping mentioned, we can conclude that the fire was indeed man-made. Luo Ping once found the source of the fire at the crime scene."
Qin Chen said and took out a sealed bag of cigarette butts from his briefcase.
Lin Yan took it from his hand and stared at the cigarette butts.
Camel brand cigarettes.
Lin Yan frowned, and his eyes showed a touch of suspicion. This kind of cigarette, was not produced more than ten years ago, and the price of this kind of cigarette was very cheap. Lin Yan remembered that the guests in the villa at that time, unless they were lucky, no one would smoke this kind of cigarette.
Then …
Qin Chen pursed his lips, picked up the coffee and drank it, "This cigarette butt, you may have seen it before."
Lin Yan's heart suddenly sank, and his dark eyes were filled with endless coldness. He clenched his teeth hard and said word by word, "It's his!"
Qin Chen seemed to be able to understand Lin Yan's words, and nodded noncommittally.
"However, after so many years, it is no longer possible to extract NA from the cigarette butts. Brother, do you still want to continue to investigate this matter?" Qin Chen's voice became low, "Perhaps, the appearance of the police that year …"
Lin Yan did not speak, and for a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
The living room was silent, and only the "tick tock, tick tock" sound of the quartz clock on the wall could be heard.
After a long time, Lin Yan slowly said, "Investigate, even if you have to search the entire Binhai City, you must find him!"
"Okay!" Qin Chen responded, and he slowly stood up, "I will inform my subordinates to continue the investigation."
After that, Qin Chen walked toward the door.
"Wait a minute," Lin Yan suddenly said and stopped Qin Chen.
Qin Chen turned his head, frowned, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lin Yan pondered, "There is also the matter of Ye Zi. You must find out what text messages the foreign IP sent to Ye Zi."
"No problem."
Qin Chen opened the door and walked out of the apartment.
The sky was dark, just like Lin Yan's mood at this moment. After so many years, he had never been able to put down this huge stone in his heart.
He walked to the balcony and smoked a cigarette. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Lin Yan turned his head and saw Ye Zi pouting her lips, pointing at the cigarette between his fingers.
Lin Yan smiled, extinguished the cigarette butt, and walked out of the balcony.
"Sorry, I smoked again." Lin Yan smiled gently and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can.
Ye Zi stared at Lin Yan's eyes and frowned. "Did something happen?"
Lin Yan smiled and shook his head. "No, Qin Chen just came to talk about work."
Ye Zi nodded. "Do you need to go to work?"
"No, I'll stay at home with you." Lin Yan hugged Ye Zi and buried his head in her shoulder.
Ye Zi said, "I can stay at home by myself. Your work is more important. You need to earn more money now. You still need to support us in the future."
Lin Yan smiled. "Even if I don't work, I can still support you. Don't you trust the Lin Group's financial resources?"
Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Lin Yan. "I don't mean that …"
Lin Yan ruffled Ye Zi's hair and smiled. "I understand you."
He lifted Ye Zi's bangs and kissed her gently. "Okay, I'll go to work now. You have to stay at home and wait for me to come back."
After sending Lin Yan off, Ye Zi could not sit still.
She turned on her computer and carefully looked through the information on Xiao Yihuan's case. She found the scene of the corpse very strange. Why did the murderer throw the corpse on the busy road after killing her?
Wouldn't it be easy for others to find out?
Ye Zi could not figure it out.
Time passed. Ye Zi stared at the computer and did not notice the time.
It was not until her eyes were sore that she lifted her head and stretched her stiff neck. She glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. Three hours had passed without her realizing it.
Xiao Yihuan …
This name was unfamiliar to Ye Zi. She did not have any information about her. She only knew that the mysterious person was among the people Xiao Yihuan saw before she died.
Ring, ring, ring …
Suddenly, Ye Zi's mobile phone rang.
Now, as long as her mobile phone rang, she would subconsciously become very nervous.
She always had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. Ye Zi picked up her mobile phone with trembling hands. Seeing that it was a WeChat message from Chen Mo, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you free this afternoon?"
Chen Mo's voice came through the voice call.
Ye Zi replied, "Yes, what's up?"
Chen Mo replied, "See you at the same place this afternoon."
Ye Zi frowned and stared at her mobile phone for a long time. Then she looked at Xiao Yihuan's information on the computer.
She could not help thinking, "Could it be that he wants to ask something?"
After a while, Ye Zi changed her clothes, took her backpack, and went to her and Chen Mo's old place — the barbecue restaurant.
The taxi stopped in front of the restaurant and Ye Zi got out of the car. Through the glass window, she saw Chen Mo sitting by the window. She smiled at Chen Mo and waved at him. Chen Mo nodded at her.
Walking into the barbecue restaurant, Ye Zi greeted the owner and lady boss with a smile. After she sat down, the owner walked over. "Miss Yeh, do you want the usual today? Ten mutton skewers, a bottle of Yanjing … "
