The dark blue sky covered the mountains in the distance, and the air was filled with a damp smell. It was cool and refreshing. The military green Jeep drove on the highway and sped towards the most luxurious villa in Binhai City. When they were not far from the villa area, the muffled sound of thunder sounded in the sky. It was suffocating and awe-inspiring.
Ye Zi opened the car window and stuck her fair little hand out of the window. Raindrops the size of soybeans fell into her palm. She raised her head to look at the low hanging clouds in the sky. It seemed that even the heavens were grieving over this tragedy.
The Jeep stopped outside the Lin family's villa. Chen Mo and Ye Zi got out of the car and walked into the Lin family's villa before the heavy rain came.
When Mei Jie opened the door, she saw Chen Mo and Ye Zi. She was slightly stunned, but then she politely welcomed them into the Lin family's villa.
Fang Wan Qing was different from usual today. She was wearing a black knee-length dress, and her black satin hair was tied up high, which made her neck look fair and slender. She had delicate makeup on her face, and she looked very beautiful. She just sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, drinking coffee. The silence was like a bottomless pool, and the atmosphere was depressing and suffocating.
"You're here." Fang Wan Qing seemed to have expected the arrival of Chen Mo and Ye Zi. Her bright red lips opened slightly, and her voice was indifferent and cold.
Chen Mo walked in front of Fang Wan Qing, and his face was cold and solemn. "Fang Wan Qing, you're under arrest."
As he spoke, he took out the handcuffs and was about to buckle Fang Wan Qing's wrist.
"Officer Chen, don't be anxious. Don't you want to know why I killed my own sister?" Fang Wan Qing looked extremely indifferent, so indifferent that she seemed to be talking to Chen Mo about a trivial matter.
Chen Mo's hands froze slightly, and he put away the handcuffs. His cold and sharp eyes stared at Fang Wan Qing. "Even if there are ten thousand reasons, it can't be an excuse for you to kill someone."
Fang Wan Qing sat down and looked up at Chen Mo. She said calmly, "My sister and I were orphans. She was born with a good life and was adopted by the Mu family, but I could only wander from place to place, living a life worse than death abroad. My adoptive parents were good to me at first, but an accident changed my life. My adoptive father lost a leg in an accident, and the restaurant business was declining. My adoptive mother called me a jinx, scolding me or beating me every day. Later, when I gradually grew up, I accidentally pushed her down the stairs …"
At this point, Fang Wan Qing paused heavily, as if she didn't want to talk about the past again.
She took a deep breath and picked up the coffee cup on the tea table. She took a sip and continued, "My adoptive father threatened me with this and raped me for five years. I felt like I was dying for those five years. Later, I wrote to my sister, but she refused to take me back to China. It was because she was going to get married and become the CEO of the Muting Group …"
Fang Wan Qing smiled and glanced sideways at Ye Zi. "Detective Ye, isn't this ridiculous?"
Ye Zi didn't answer her. She just frowned slightly and looked at this pitiful and hateful woman.
Fang Wan Qing sighed and said slowly, "A year ago, my sister got eighty percent of the Mu family's assets and brought me back from America. Every day, I saw her and my brother-in-law loving each other, living a life of luxury. I felt especially hateful …"
"Tell me why you wanted to kill Andrew Lim."
At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly spoke up and interrupted Fang Wan Qing. His thin lips parted slightly as he said in a deep voice, "If we're not wrong, you were his mistress. You even conspired with him to kill your sister. So why did you kill him?!"
At the mention of Andrew Lim's name, Fang Wan Qing's expression changed significantly. Her long brows furrowed, but in the next moment, her face revealed a cold and aloof smile. "Brother-in-law, it was an accident."
She stood up and picked up the coffee cup. She took a sip and said, "I never thought that I would fall in love with my brother-in-law, much less that he would be so unhappy with Mu Tianjiao."
Fang Wan Qing wasn't willing to address Mu Tianjiao as her sister. Instead, she called her by her full name.
Perhaps, in her opinion, it was even more difficult for her to call her sister.
She took a deep breath and lowered her long eyelashes. She sighed and said, "I don't love brother-in-law. I just like the feeling of being loved. Why does everyone have to surround Mu Tianjiao? Brother-in-law dotes on her in every possible way, only to receive endless humiliation from her. So, I chose brother-in-law and made him my man."
"How did you kill Mu Tianjiao?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.
"That's simple." A dark cloud appeared in Fang Wan Qing's eyes. No one could tell what she was thinking at that moment. "Mu Tianjiao had a habit. She would do some manual work in her room every afternoon. When I was in university, I took an electrical engineering course. All I had to do was change the wiring of the sewing machine, and the sewing machine would malfunction in a short period of time. She would definitely check on it. At that time, the machine would continue operating, and she would be strangled to death by the wiring I arranged."
Fang Wan Qing looked at Chen Mo and Ye Zi with a smile. She blinked and continued, "As for my brother-in-law, you should know that he likes to drink coffee, but he's afraid of bitterness. I poured out all the sugar in the house and diluted the potassium cyanide with a syringe before injecting it into the sugar bag. According to the sequence, he would die from the poison today. I was looking for a witness, but I didn't expect Detective Ye to be here."
Ye Zi frowned as she looked at Fang Wan Qing. Everything was as she said. However, she had already killed Mu Tianjiao and obtained Andrew Lim. Why would she want to poison Andrew Lim to death?
What made Ye Zi even more confused was why Andrew Lim would look for her to investigate.
"There must be a lot of things you can't figure out." Fang Wan Qing's tone was calm and indifferent as if she was talking about something normal. "I needed someone to help me remove the equipment on the sewing machine. Brother-in-law looked for you as his alibi, so the police wouldn't suspect me and brother-in-law. As for why I killed brother-in-law …"
"Because he was too weak." Ye Zi lowered her head. When she heard Fang Wan Qing pause, she raised her eyes slowly and looked at Fang Wan Qing solemnly. "Mu Tianjiao's death was both a relief and a blow to Andrew Lim. After so many years, Andrew Lim had become weak and incompetent in front of Mu Tianjiao. I believe you wouldn't want such a man."
Fang Wan Qing smiled and nodded. "You're right. Perhaps, from the beginning, Mu Tianjiao and I were destined to never be sisters. "
She gladly extended her hands in front of Chen Mo. "Officer Chen, we can go now."
"Kacha."
When the handcuffs were put on Fang Wan Qing's wrists, everything finally came to an end.
Ye Zi watched as Fang Wan Qing was taken into the police car by Chen Mo. She smiled bitterly and shook her head. Perhaps the reason why Fang Wan Qing had become like this was because of Mu Tianjiao.
If Mu Tianjiao hadn't been adopted by the Mu family, what would their lives be like now?
…
By the time they returned to the detective agency, it was already dusk.
For the whole day, Ye Zi kept thinking about what Fang Wan Qing had said when she was arrested. She couldn't help but think of Ye Xinrou. If her father was still alive, she might be like Ye Xinrou, chasing her own dreams, instead of guarding her father's detective agency like she was now.
"Boss." To Look Around walked into Ye Zi's office with a stack of documents.
"Bang!" To Look Around threw the documents in front of Ye Zi. "Our detective agency is now famous. You can pick one of these cases."
Ye Zi glanced at the thick stack of documents on the desk. She frowned slightly and asked, "There weren't any cases when I left today. So soon …"
To Look Around nodded and said, "Qin Fengchi's case and Andrew Lim's case. Our detective agency solved two big cases in a row. These were just sent by the client."
Ye Zi shrugged. She didn't have time to think about the sweet things. Since she promised her father that she would take good care of Ye Xinrou and protect the detective agency, the most important thing now was to make money. "We'll do the first one with the highest price."
"Okay." To Look Around snapped her fingers and turned to leave. Suddenly, her eyes were full of peach blossoms. She was drooling, as if she had seen a delicious braised trotter.
"Panda? Panda! "
To Look Around didn't answer, so Ye Zi followed her dazed gaze.
"Fengchi, why are you here?"
Qin Fengchi was wearing a black turtleneck shirt and black slim-fit pants, which accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. He looked neat and tidy, unlike those celebrities who were often seen on TV, newspapers, and magazines wearing exaggerated clothes, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know that they were celebrities or little fresh meat.
Ye Zi stood up and walked towards Qin Fengchi.
"It's like this." Qin Fengchi had a smile on his face, giving off the feeling of a spring breeze. "I have a friend who wants to ask for your help."
"No problem."
Ye Zi had just opened her mouth when To Look Around knocked her aside and looked at Qin Fengchi with a lovestruck expression. "Our detective agency has always adhered to the principle of putting handsome men first …"
Ye Paopao raised her hand to her forehead. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence. "Customers come first."
"It's the same, it's the same. Mr Qin is our customer, and a VIP among VIPs. Boss, why don't you let me follow up on Fengchi's case?"
From Mr Qin to Fengchi, this leap was a little too big.
