Chapter 182 She May Not Have Committed Suicide

Although the Xiao family was incredibly wealthy, not all of their relatives were so wealthy. Lin Yin's grandfather's grandfather wasn't even surnamed Xiao, so their connection to the Xiao family was only distant. Although they relied on the Xiao family's assets to make a living, their income was only considered above average for Ruzhou.

Lin Yin has been an introvert since childhood and afraid of interacting with others. After graduating from high school, she refused to go out to study. She was famous among her family relatives for making imitation bronze porcelain. Xiao Guotao thought that this child was talented, quiet and tight-lipped, and was suitable to help him, so Lin Yin became his assistant.

Facts proved that Lin Yin was indeed suited to this job, which would bore others to death in just six months. She had been doing it for four or five years. Xiao Guotao was very satisfied with her work and paid her well, but even so, these two watches did not seem like something that Lin Yin could afford on her salary.

Xiao Xingyu and Zhou Xia were comforting Lin Yin's mother who was crying in the room. As an outsider, all Zhang Moyan could do was go to the kitchen to pour her a glass of water.

The thermos was full of water, but there was no heat when the plug was pulled out. It must have been Lin Yin who boiled the water.

Zhang Moyan dumped the thermos into the sink and reached out to touch the water; it was still a little warm. She filled the electric kettle and plugged it in, then stood leaning against the shelf, arms folded. A few frames from the funeral home flashed through her mind, and a sense of change washed over her.

The kitchen stove had been removed, leaving a large rectangular hole in the stainless steel panel, like a mouth that could eat people. Through this hole, you can see the gas valve below. A few days ago, Lin Yin died from the gas that kept escaping from that valve.

Zhang Moyan suddenly realized that he was in a dangerous room. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back and all the pores on his body stood up.

This was her first time being so close to a suicide scene. She had only met Lin Yin a few times before, and she remembered her as a sullen girl with a classical appearance. Although she was thin, she was also full of youth.

And now, youth has come to an abrupt end.

The buzzing sound of boiling water in the electric kettle slightly weakened the feeling of horror. Zhang Moyan wanted to find a cup in the kitchen, turned around and opened the cupboard, her eyes inadvertently glanced at a certain spot on the wall, and suddenly her eyes fixed.

She remained in this position for a long time, so much so that Xiao Xingyu, who was in the bedroom, caught a glimpse of her and walked over with a suspicious look.

"Mo Yan, what's wrong?"

Zhang Moyan stood up straight, holding the cup she had taken out of the cupboard. She stammered hesitantly, "I feel like something's wrong."

Xiao Xingyu followed her gaze and saw a universal clip on the wall with a sponge mop attached to it. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Moyan frowned slightly and bit her lip: "I remember that there was not a sponge mop there before, but a vacuum cleaner."

Xiao Xingyu asked: "How do you know?"

Zhang Moyan said, "Last time, when Lin Yin wasn't feeling well, Xiao Huai and I came here to take care of her. I used this kitchen before. I remember very clearly that there was a vacuum cleaner hanging there, quite new. It was the same model I used at home, so I was quite impressed. I also thought this universal buckle was pretty good, and I was thinking of buying one online when I got home."

She pointed to the kitchen door again: "I still remember that sponge mop was placed behind the kitchen. I wanted to clean the floor after using the kitchen, and it took me a long time to find it."

Xiao Xingyu turned around, and as soon as their eyes met, he seemed to understand what she felt was wrong.

The water in the electric kettle boiled and gurgled, and Xiao Xingyu's expression suddenly became tense.

"Mo Yan, the information you told me is very important!" Xiao Xingyu turned around like a whirlwind and went to the living room and every room to turn on all the lights.

"Brother Xingyu, what are you doing?" Zhou Xia came out of the bedroom and watched Xiao Xingyu rummaging through the house.

Lin Yin's mother heard the commotion and came over: "Xingyu, what are you looking for?"

Xiao Xingyu swept the curtains in the living room and said, "Come and help look for a vacuum cleaner in this room." He paused, then thought of asking Zhang Moyan, "By the way, Moyan, what kind of vacuum cleaner does it look like?"

"It's red," Zhang Moyan replied, gesturing as if she had understood something. "It's a rechargeable vacuum cleaner with a handle. It's this long, and looks a bit like a sponge mop, but with a bigger head!"

Lin Yin's mother immediately became very sensitive and nervous: "What vacuum cleaner? What does it mean? Why are you looking for a vacuum cleaner?"

"Don't say anything for now, just look for it as I said!" Xiao Xingyu said in a stern tone without giving any explanation.

"oh oh!"

Zhou Xia and Lin Yin's mother didn't dare to ask any more questions and followed Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan to search the room inside and out.

The house was not big, with two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom of about 80 square meters, and it was quickly turned upside down by four people.

"It seems that the vacuum cleaner is indeed missing." Zhang Moyan looked around the house where all the furniture had been moved.

Zhou Xia: "What if the vacuum cleaner is gone?"

Xiao Xingyu pondered for a moment, then glanced sharply at the three women in front of him. "I need to confirm something now. Zhou Xia, which floor of your unit is being renovated?"

Zhou Xia didn't know why he asked this, and answered a little dazedly: "It's the fourth floor."

"Okay, wait for me." He tore off his shoe covers with one hand, pushed open the door and strode out like a whirlwind.

"Zhou Xia, what happened to Xingyu?" Lin Yin's mother was confused by Xiao Xingyu's swift and decisive actions, but she also felt that he must have discovered something extraordinary.
