"You're pregnant?"
The owner looked at Ye Zi meaningfully, and then looked at Chen Mo. He seemed to be looking at the two of them with an expression that said, "I know everything."
Chen Mo quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. It's not mine."
"It's not yours!?"
This time, the shock on the owner's face became even more intense.
Chen Mo was helpless. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Alright, stop joking around. Same old, but no beer."
After a while, the lamb skewers and a few delicate side dishes were served. Ye Zi didn't have much of an appetite. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but the greasy smell of the lamb skewers made her feel a little nauseous.
Ye Zi held back her nausea, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She asked Chen Mo, "What do you want from me?"
Chen Mo filled a glass of beer and poured a glass of juice for Ye Zi. "First, congratulations on having a baby."
The two clinked their glasses, and Chen Mo drank the beer in one gulp. Ye Zi looked at Chen Mo, frowned, and took a sip of the juice.
Chen Mo filled the glass again, and said, "Second, I want to ask you about Xiao Yihuan."
As for Xiao Yihuan …
Ye Zi pursed her lips. She didn't know how to explain to Chen Mo.
She didn't know Xiao Yihuan at all. What could she say?!
Chen Mo looked at Ye Zi without blinking. After a while, he asked, "Little girl, tell me, what case does Xiao Yihuan want your detective agency to investigate?"
Ye Zi bit her lower lip. After a while, she looked up and said, "Brother Chen Mo, I've already told you. I only talked to her on the phone a few times, and sent a few messages. I really don't know anything else."
Chen Mo didn't question her. He nodded and smiled. "Don't be so nervous. I'm just curious."
Ye Zi raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Mo. She pursed her lips, but didn't say anything. She picked up a lamb skewer and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, an oily feeling spread in her mouth. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, got up, and ran to the washroom.
After retching for a while, Ye Zi felt a little better.
P She took out a tissue, wiped her mouth, took a deep breath, and walked out of the washroom. She suddenly realized that Chen Mo wasn't there.
Ye Zi frowned and walked to the dining table. She looked around, but didn't see Chen Mo. Just then, the owner walked over and smiled at Ye Zi. "Captain Chen Dui just left."
"Left?" Ye Zi frowned.
The owner smiled and said, "He just asked me to tell you that something happened in the police force."
"Oh." Ye Zi nodded slightly and took out her wallet from her backpack.
The owner reached out to stop Ye Zi. "Captain Chen Dui just paid."
Since Chen Mo left in a hurry, it meant that something important must have happened in the police force. To Chen Mo, Xiao Yihuan's case was the top priority now …
Ye Zi pursed her eyes and thought for a while. Then she quickly walked out of the barbecue shop.
Outside the Municipal Crime Squad.
Ye Zi looked at the army green Beijing Jeep speeding away. She narrowed her eyes and flagged down a taxi, following closely behind Chen Mo's car.
After a while, Chen Mo's car stopped outside a high-end residential area. The area was surrounded by green evergreens. Even in winter, they looked like green jade in spring. Ye Zi paid the taxi fare and got out of the car. She looked around and her gaze fell on Chen Mo's car.
She quickened her pace and hurriedly followed behind.
From afar, Ye Zi watched Chen Mo walk up the stairs. She looked around and saw that no one had seen her, so she tiptoed and followed behind him.
The elevator stopped on the eighth floor.
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes and stared at the elevator without blinking. Just now, Chen Mo was the only person who got into the elevator. Now that the elevator stopped, it meant that Chen Mo got out of the elevator on the eighth floor.
She changed to another elevator and pressed the button for the ninth floor. When the elevator reached the ninth floor, Ye Zi only went down one floor to the eighth floor. There were two units on one floor in the residential area. Ye Zi put her ear to Seat A and listened carefully, hoping to hear the voices in the room.
But the soundproofing was so good that Ye Zi couldn't hear anything at all.
She frowned slightly and went to the door of Seat B to listen.
Click.
At this time, the anti-theft door suddenly opened. Ye Zi's heart suddenly jumped and she was stunned for a moment.
It was over. If Chen Mo found out about her, wouldn't she be unable to explain herself?
However, the one who walked out wasn't Chen Mo. This made Ye Zi heave a sigh of relief.
A woman in her late twenties frowned and glanced at Ye Zi. She asked doubtfully, "Who are you looking for?"
Ye Zi frowned and hurriedly said, "May I ask if this is Xiao Yihuan's home?"
Hearing that, the woman slightly frowned, raised her chin, and pointed at Seat A. "It's over there."
Ye Zi smiled and took out the fake police ID card from her backpack. "Police."
The woman's face instantly became a little better. She asked with a smile, "Officer, is there something wrong?"
Ye Zi nodded noncommittally and glanced at the woman's house. There were no other shoes at the entrance, and there was only the pair of slippers on the woman's feet. There was only a single photo of the woman hanging in the living room, not a wedding photo. From this, it could be seen that this was the home of a single woman.
"Can I go in to talk?" Ye Zi smiled faintly at the woman. Her red lips parted slightly as she asked softly.
The woman leaned to the side, nodded slightly, and said, "Of course."
Ye Zi followed the woman into the door.
The house was about 130 square meters, and the decoration was exquisite and elegant. It was easy to see the taste of the owner. The woman raised her hand and made an inviting gesture to the sofa. She smiled and said, "Please have a seat."
Ye Zi was relieved and sat down. The woman gave Ye Zi a bottle of mineral water. "Officer, is there anything you want to ask?"
Ye Zi twisted the cap and took a sip. She nodded and said, "Miss, may I know your name?"
The woman said, "My surname is Tang. You can call me Tang Yang."
"Okay." Ye Zi smiled and asked, "Miss Tang Yang, are you familiar with Miss Xiao next door?"
Tang Yang let out a shallow smile and slightly shook his head. "I just moved here three months ago. I only nod and say hello when I go out occasionally. Other than that, I don't have much contact with other people."
Ye Zi nodded and stared at Tang Yang with her clear and bright eyes. "Miss Tang, have you ever seen Miss Xiao next door? Does she have a boyfriend?"
"Oh, I think she does." Tang Yang thought for a moment and crossed her legs. She picked up the glass of water and took a sip. "Sometimes, when I go to work in the morning, I can see a handsome guy leaving Miss Xiao's house."
"Oh, right." Tang Yang seemed to remember something. She slowly got up and walked to the door.
Tang Yang picked up her bag and took out a business card from the card holder. Then, she returned to her seat and handed the business card to Ye Zi. "This is that gentleman's business card."
"Why do you have his business card?" Ye Zi frowned and stared at Tang Yang.
Tang Yang still looked calm. "It's a coincidence. I was negotiating with Boyan Real Estate on behalf of the company last Friday. The other party happened to be this gentleman."
Ye Zi looked down and glanced at the business card in her hand.
Fang Boyan.
The CEO of Boyan Real Estate.
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes and stared at the name card in her hand without blinking.
"Miss Officer, if you need, I can help you contact Mr. Fang," Tang Yang said with a smile when she saw that Ye Zi didn't say anything.
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes and looked at Tang Yang's face. She shook her head slightly and said indifferently, "Not at the moment. We will contact him ourselves."
"Okay then." Tang Yang smiled faintly. In a flash, she blinked her eyes and subconsciously glanced at the room next door. She lowered her voice and asked Ye Zi, "Miss Officer, can I ask what happened to Miss Xiao next door?"
"No comment for the time being."
Ye Zi slowly got up and thanked Tang Yang before walking out of her house.
Standing outside the door, Ye Zi glanced at Xiao Yihuan's house, but she didn't see Chen Mo coming out. She nervously walked over. Standing outside the door, she could vaguely hear the sounds of people talking. She could vaguely hear footsteps.
The police must be investigating Xiao Yihuan's house at this time.
"Could it be that Xiao Yihuan's house is the scene of the crime?"
Ye Zi stood outside the door and mumbled softly.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door opening. Ye Zi hurried to the stairwell. Through the crack of the door, she saw Chen Mo walking out of Xiao Yihuan's house with Bai Yang following closely behind.
Although their voices weren't loud, Ye Zi could still clearly hear the conversation between the two.
Bai Yang said, "Chen Dui, it looks like this is the scene of the crime."
Chen Mo nodded noncommittally and said, "Didn't you just say that Xiao Yihuan has a boyfriend of three years? Let's go and take a look."
As they spoke, the elevator stopped. Chen Mo and Bai Yang walked into the elevator one after another.
After a while, Ye Zi walked out of the stairwell.
It seemed that her guess was right. Xiao Yihuan's house was really the scene of the crime.
"Kacha!" Tang Yang opened the door. When she saw Ye Zi, she couldn't help but frown. "Huh? Miss Officer, you haven't left yet? "
Hearing that, Ye Zi smiled faintly and said, "I dropped my ID here just now. I came back to look for it."
