She kicked Chen Mo's calf forcefully. Her cheeks were puffed up with anger at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked indifferent. "If you continue to cause trouble, I'll get someone to revoke your detective agency's license."
"Don't you dare!" Ye Zi glared at Chen Mo angrily. "The detective agency is your master's blood and sweat. You don't believe … Fine, Brother Chen Mo, I was wrong."
Ye Zi took out her cell phone from Chen Mo and dialed the number of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. She hurriedly lowered her head and stood outside the police tape.
Chen Mo turned around and looked at the forensic doctor, Zhou Hongze. He asked, "How is it?"
Zhou Hongze glanced at Chen Mo. "There was a slight taste of almonds in the deceased's mouth. Preliminary speculation is that the deceased died from potassium cyanide poisoning. Based on the temperature of the liver, the time of death was less than half an hour ago."
The forensic doctor's preliminary speculation was similar to Ye Zi's. However, what Ye Zi didn't expect was that Andrew Lim's time of death was less than half an hour ago.
She fell into deep thought. She had just arrived at the Lin's villa half an hour ago. During this time, Mei Jie had been chatting with her and Fang Wan Qing had just returned from outside.
Unknowingly, she had become Fang Wan Qing and Mei Jie's alibi.
F * ck! Ye Zi cursed in her heart. She had become a witness again.
Why was this case …
She frowned. But if he had been poisoned …
Both Fang Wan Qing and Mei Jie could do it. She slowly raised her eyes. Her deep amber eyes scanned Mei Jie's body and then looked at Fang Wan Qing.
Could the murderer be between the two of them?!
Chen Mo lifted the police tape and walked out of the crime scene. His face was grim as if it was covered with a layer of frost. "Which one of you found the deceased?"
Mei Jie raised her trembling hand. "Y-it was me."
"What were you doing before the deceased died?" Chen Mo asked.
Mei Jie turned and glanced at Ye Zi. "I was chatting with Detective Ye in the garden."
Chen Mo frowned and glanced at Ye Zi as if he was reprimanding her. Then he looked at Fang Wan Qing. "What about you?"
Fang Wanqing's tears fell like rain. She sniffled hard and sobbed, "I, I just came back from the flower shop. Just now, in the bedroom, I heard Sister Mei's voice. When I came out to take a look, I saw …" Wuwuwu … "
She was already sobbing uncontrollably. She covered her face with her hands, looking as if she couldn't believe the reality.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Chen Mo waved at Ye Zi. The two of them walked to a corner and Chen Mo asked in a deep voice, "Little girl, what's going on?"
Ye Zi pursed her lips and glanced at Mei Jie and Fang Wan Qing. She narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "I came to understand the situation. I chatted with Mei Jie for a while and then Fang Wan Qing came back. I wanted to ask Andrew Lim, but …"
She suddenly paused and fell into deep thought.
Chen Mo frowned and asked, "What's wrong?!"
Ye Zi looked up and said in a deep voice, "Fang Wan Qing didn't want me to meet Andrew Lim at that time."
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Fang Wan Qing. He nodded silently and patted Ye Zi's shoulder. "Alright, I got it. Hurry up and go home."
"Go, go home?!" Ye Zi stared at him with her big, clear eyes. "No matter what, I'm still a witness. According to the rules, shouldn't you …"
"Bring you back to the team," Chen Mo said in a deep voice.
"Uh …" Ye Zi's lips twitched. "That's not necessary."
"Then why aren't you leaving?!" Chen Mo's voice deepened.
Ye Zi lowered her head and walked to the crime scene. She glanced inside and saw that Andrew Lim, the person she suspected the most, was dead …
Everything was complicated and confusing. The fog in front of her was so thick that she couldn't see the path ahead.
Andrew Lim was dead. In that case, the only person Ye Zi suspected was …
When Ye Zi looked at Fang Wan Qing, she also looked at Ye Zi.
The two of them looked at each other. Ye Zi actually saw a trace of craftiness flash past her teary eyes.
Ye Zi couldn't help but clench her fists. Was that a hallucination?
Or was this young and beautiful girl in front of her the real murderer?
After walking out of the Lin's villa, Ye Zi kept her head down and carefully connected the dots from the moment Andrew Lim appeared in her mind. Because she wasn't paying attention, she accidentally fell into a man's arms.
She rubbed her head, which was hurting from the collision, and looked up at the man.
The sunlight shone down, elongating Lin Yan's figure. He clearly had a pair of sharp eyes, but at this moment, they seemed incomparably distant. His thick eyebrows, tall nose, and beautiful lips all exuded a sense of nobility and elegance.
Ye Zi couldn't help but be dazed until Lin Yan's voice came into her ears.
"Are you trying to blackmail me?"
Ye Zi's lips twitched. It really looked like it. If it weren't for the fact that she was thinking about something, she wouldn't have been so careless.
She stood up from the ground and brushed the dust off her body. She glared at Lin Yan and mumbled, "You're the one who is blackmailing me. Your whole family is blackmailing me."
Lin Yan's lips curled up. "Are you done with your questioning?"
"Questioning …" Ye Zi pursed her lips. What was there to ask? Andrew Lim was already dead. Did she have to hire a psychic to bring Andrew Lim up from below? She shrugged her shoulders helplessly. "Andrew Lim is dead."
Lin Yan didn't seem to be surprised at all. He just nodded and walked in front of Ye Zi with his slender legs. His figure was tall and slender, and from afar, he looked like a proud and aloof tree.
He walked over to the Jeep Cherokee and glanced at Ye Zi. "Do you want me to send you back?"
Ye Zi nodded her head. However, she wondered if Lin Yan was up to no good. "Forget it. I'll follow Brother Chen Mo's police car back?"
"Chen Mo?" Lin Yan's eyes narrowed as he rubbed his chin, appearing to be deep in thought.
Ye Zi replied instinctively, "He's the Captain of the Municipal Crime Squad's Key Case Investigation Unit. He's really handsome and there are many girls who follow Brother Chen Mo around. It's just that he's a little unreasonable at times …"
A certain man's face darkened as he watched Ye Zi ramble on. Right after, there was a loud bang that gave Ye Zi a fright. By the time she turned around, the black Jeep Cherokee had already sped away.
Ye Zi pursed her lips and muttered, "How rude."
"Lass."
Hearing Chen Mo's voice, Ye Zi turned around. "What? Didn't you want to chase me away? What's wrong? Are you regretting it now? "
Chen Mo glanced at Ye Zi with a doting gaze. He knew Ye Zi well and knew that she wouldn't give up until she got to the bottom of the matter. He walked over to Ye Zi. "The forensics team just concluded that potassium cyanide was spiked in the coffee. Judging from the temperature of the coffee, Andrew Lim died less than 15 minutes ago. This means that you're an alibi for Mei Jie and Fang Wan Qing."
Ye Zi's expression changed slightly. She placed her fair and slender fingers under her chin and fell into deep thought. After a long time, she looked up at Chen Mo and asked, "Is it possible that someone did something to the coffee?"
"I've already checked. The coffee, companion, and sugar were all untouched." Chen Mo said calmly.
This was strange. If that was the case, then Andrew Lim couldn't have been poisoned by Mei Jie or Fang Wan Qing.
Potassium cyanide 50 to 100 mg could cause sudden death. It inhibited respiratory enzymes and caused intracellular asphyxiation. It could be inhaled, taken orally, or absorbed through the skin.
Ye Zi understood the toxicity of potassium cyanide. Andrew Lim died after drinking the coffee. It took less than 15 minutes. Who was the culprit and what method did they use to poison him?! She fell into deep thought.
Chen Mo gently rubbed Ye Zi's head. "Alright, now that you know the cause of Andrew Lim's death, your investigation should be over."
Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Chen Mo. It felt like he was burning the bridge after crossing it.
Ye Zi pouted and swatted Chen Mo's hand away. "I got it."
"It's not easy to get a cab here. I'll drive you back." Chen Mo opened the car door and gestured at Ye Zi with his chin.
Ye Zi didn't reject Chen Mo's offer. She got into Chen Mo's jeep.
Soon, Chen Mo dropped Ye Zi off outside the detective agency. Ye Zi jumped out of the car and walked toward the agency without looking back.
Chen Mo stuck his head out of the car window and watched Ye Zi's receding figure. "Little girl, don't forget that tomorrow is master's life sacrifice."
"I got it." Ye Zi raised her hand and waved at Chen Mo.
Ye Zi sat on the chair and kept her head down. Her fingertips gently tapped on the desk, making a rhythmic "da da" sound.
Knock knock knock.
The knocking on the door pulled Ye Zi back to reality. She looked up at the door and saw To Look Around walk in.
To Look Around went up to Ye Zi and raised her eyebrows. "Boss, have you seen today's headlines?"
Ye Zi shook her head. "Is there any interesting news?"
To Look Around took out her phone and found the Binhai City News Network. Then, she handed the phone to Ye Zi.
"Lam's Group successfully acquired Muting Group at a price 10% lower than the market price."
The headline news showed the above content.
Ye Zi couldn't help but frown. After a long time, she curled up the corner of her mouth.
It seemed that she had underestimated Lin Yan.
This man was too scary. On the surface, it seemed that Lin Yan had nothing to do with the case. But in fact, that was not the case. From the beginning, Mu Tianjiao was strangled to death, and then Andrew Lim was poisoned to death. Lin Yan had been guiding her to investigate the truth.
The Muting Group's CEO was dead. Her husband was dead. The vice president, Mu Tianlong, was exposed to be gay, which caused the Muting Group's stock to plummet by 10%.
