Could it be that all of this was done by Lin Yan …
Ye Zi suddenly had a terrible idea.
Without paying attention, the coffee cup in her hand shook, and the coffee spilled out, scalding Ye Zi's hand. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and put the coffee cup on the desk.
"Boss, what do you think of this matter?" To Look Around asked.
Ye Zi heard To Look Around's voice and came back to her senses. She smiled and shook her head, saying, "I believe in Lin Yan."
Just five words were enough to express Ye Zi's thoughts.
Although she and Lin Yan hadn't known each other for a long time, she still had some understanding of Lin Yan. She believed that a proud person like Lin Yan would not compromise even if he was injured all over, let alone kill someone for a Muting Group.
"Boss is boss. I also believe that Mr. Lin is innocent. Needless to say, he is so handsome. Even if he killed someone, he must have had his own difficulties."
Hearing this, Ye Zi's lips twitched. What kind of logic was this? Was it not illegal to kill someone because he was handsome?
Ye Zi gave a thumbs up to To Look Around, and couldn't help but admire her imagination.
The Lin family's murder case had occupied major newspapers and magazines. Mu Tianjiao was famous in Binhai City, and it became a hot topic in the city for a while. Naturally, it also helped Ye Zi's detective agency to advertise.
To Look Around seemed to think of something again. She patted her head, "Look at my memory. Boss, there is a case."
"What case?" Ye Zi's eyes narrowed as she asked in all seriousness.
To Look Around handed the tablet to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi took the tablet and glanced at it quickly, "Rape case?!"
To Look Around picked up an apple on Ye Zi's desk and took a bite. She said while chewing, "Well, the victim was raped, so the perpetrator was not seen …"
"This is already a criminal case. Why didn't the victim call the police?" Ye Zi asked subconsciously.
To Look Around pointed to the tablet, "The victim is the female star, Shen Manning."
"Shen Manning?!" Ye Zi heard the name and couldn't help but frown.
Looking at the photos of the victims, she narrowed her eyes slightly. Shen Manning had acted in many TV dramas, such as "You Are My Eyes," "Deep Palace Resentment," "Goodbye, My Lover." She had dominated the TV screen for a year and could be said to be a popular actress.
Looking at the bright girl in the victim's photo, Ye Zi felt a little sorry for her.
"Yes, this is the popular actress in the film and television industry." To Look Around said, "Because the victim is a public figure, in order to protect Shen Manning's image, the agency hopes that we can keep the investigation confidential. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that this case was introduced by Qin Fengchi."
Ye Zi was stunned for a few seconds. She couldn't help but think of that handsome man, and couldn't help but smile.
"Boss, the reward for this case is not small." To Look Around reminded her, "Me and the reward …"
"Reward?!" Ye Zi heard this and suddenly widened her eyes. "Are you kidding me? Is there such a thing as reward in this world?"
"You're so stingy." To Look Around rolled her eyes at Ye Zi. "Are we taking this case?"
"There's a reward. Why wouldn't I accept it?" Ye Zi sat down and carefully recalled the details of the Lin Family's murder case.
What was wrong so that she couldn't find out the truth?
Ye Zi lowered her head and looked at the notebook in her hand. Since she took Andrew Lim's money, she had to give him justice.
To Look Around waved in front of Ye Zi. "Boss, what are you thinking about?"
"Andrew Lim's murder case," Ye Zi replied casually.
"Boss, didn't Brother Chen Mo tell us not to intervene in this case?" To Look Around asked again.
"He just told us not to investigate openly, but he didn't say that we can't investigate." Ye Zi picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. She couldn't help but frown slightly. "Why is it so bitter?!"
"There are no more sugar cubes." To Look Around turned around and was about to walk out of Ye Zi's office. "I'll get you a bag of sugar."
Ye Zi suddenly opened her mouth and stopped her. "Panda, what did you just say?!"
"There are no more sugar cubes." To Look Around replied.
"The next sentence." Ye Zi's brows were tightly knitted together. Her deep amber eyes couldn't hide the sharpness.
To Look Around blinked her clear eyes and murmured softly, "I'll get you a bag of sugar."
Ye Zi snapped her fingers and her eyes lit up. "That's right. That's it."
"Then I'll go get you a bag of sugar now." To Look Around looked at Ye Zi suspiciously. God knows what was wrong with her this time.
Ye Zi didn't seem to hear her. Her lips curled into a devilish smile. She narrowed her eyes slightly and picked up her phone to call Chen Mo.
After a few rings, Chen Mo picked up the phone. "Little girl, what's the matter?"
Ye Zi smiled and said, "I know how Andrew Lim died."
"He died of potassium cyanide poisoning. We've known this for a long time," Chen Mo said.
"No, I mean, I know how the murderer poisoned him," Ye Zi said again.
"What?" Chen Mo asked.
"If you want to know, you have to treat me to a meal," Ye Zi said to Chen Mo on the phone with evil intentions. "Let's meet at the same place this afternoon."
After that, Ye Zi hung up the phone, picked up her backpack, and hurried out of the office.
To Look Around came back with a bag of sugar and watched her leave in a hurry. "Boss, you don't want any more sugar?"
"You're so fat. You should eat less sugar." Ye Zi turned around and showed a smile as bright as the morning sun.
When Gu Panpan heard this, she froze on the spot like a wooden chicken. After a long while, she pointed in the direction Ye Zi left in, then pointed at herself. "How am I fat? I'm clearly full, alright?"
When her father was still alive, they lived in an old house near the old city. Later, because her father owed a large amount of debt, this house was sold to the creditor. In the past few years, Binhai City had been undergoing urban planning and construction. The old city also had a new look. Tall buildings and large shopping malls could be seen everywhere. Even so, Ye Zi could not forget the smell of the old city.
In a small barbecue shop, Ye Zi ordered 20 skewers, 10 kidneys, and 2 Yanjing, waiting for Chen Mo's arrival.
Not long after, a Beijing Jeep stopped outside the shop. Chen Mo got out of the car and quickly walked into the barbecue shop.
Ye Zi waved at Chen Mo while eating skewers. "Brother Chen Mo, over here."
Chen Mo quickly walked in front of Ye Zi and put his backpack aside. He frowned and asked, "Little girl, tell me how the murderer poisoned the food."
Ye Zi stuffed a kidney skewer into Chen Mo's hand. "Don't worry. Let's eat and talk."
Chen Mo was indeed a little anxious. The victim, Andrew Lim's death was so sudden that all the police's clues were cut off. What was even more puzzling was the cause of Andrew Lim's death.
He took the kidney skewer from Ye Zi's hand and took a bite. He frowned and asked, "We have confirmed that Andrew Lim brewed the coffee himself. During this time, was there anyone else in the Lin's villa? We can't deny that Andrew Lim committed suicide."
Ye Zi picked up a mutton skewer and handed it to Chen Mo. She smiled and said, "Brother Chen Mo, I asked the boss to add more chili."
"Little girl, you …"
Chen Mo wanted to rush Ye Zi, but when he saw the bright smile on her face, he took the mutton skewer from her hand and finished it in a few bites. "Little girl, you can tell me now, right?"
Ye Zi smiled and said, "Brother Chen Mo, I wanted to drink coffee at the detective agency today, but I ran out of sugar cubes. It tasted extremely bitter. Later, Panda said he would give me a bag of sugar cubes. Then I remembered that if the murderer really wanted to kill Andrew Lim, he could have put potassium cyanide in the bag of sugar cubes."
"If that's the case …" Chen Mo knitted his brows and sank into contemplation. After a short while, he raised his eyes and stared at Ye Zi, muttering, "How could the culprit be certain that Lin Ande would be able to use that bag of poisoned candy? If he didn't use the bag of sugar cubes, you wouldn't be able to be the murderer's alibi during this time. "
Ye Zi smiled. "Based on my observation of Andrew Lim, whether it was his clothes, the items in his house, or even the arrangement on his desk, they were all orderly. I don't know if you've noticed, but in Andrew Lim's shoe cabinet, all his shoes are arranged according to their color and style. From this, you can see that he has OCD."
"You mean that the murderer is someone who knows Andrew Lim's habits, and he put the poisoned bag of sugar cubes in the box, waiting for Andrew Lim to die. Then, the murderer …"
Ye Zi curled her lips into a cold smile and slightly raised her eyebrows. "The answer is already very obvious."
Chen Mo stood up immediately, picked up his backpack, and ran out of the barbecue shop.
After he left, Ye Zi quickly raised her hand and exclaimed, "Brother Chen Mo, you haven't paid yet."
She shook her head helplessly and picked up Chen Mo's car keys. She shook it gently and mumbled with a smile, "I was so careless. I even forgot to take the car keys with me."
In a flash, Chen Mo turned back and stretched his big hand in front of Ye Zi. With a solemn expression, he said in a low voice, "Give it to me."
Ye Zi grinned. "Brother Chen Mo, count me in."
"No way." Chen Mo rejected her cruelly.
Ye Zi pursed her lips. "I'm the person who helped you solve the case. You can't burn the bridge after crossing the river."
She stood up and rushed to Chen Mo's side. She held his arm, and no matter how hard Chen Mo struggled, he couldn't shake her off. "Oh yes, you haven't paid the bill."
Chen Mo had no choice but to poke Ye Zi's forehead. "You … I'm warning you. Don't make trouble."
Ye Zi stuck out her tongue at Chen Mo. "When did I make trouble for you?"
