Ten minutes later.

Li Xiuqin had wiped away her tears and her emotions gradually calmed down, but the blush on her face lingered for a long time. Her beautiful eyes were looking at Yang Fan with affection.

"Xiuqin, I'm leaving first. I'll leave you to take care of the housework." Yang Fan took his cell phone and car keys, then walked out the door.

"Well, be careful on the road and go home early when you are done." Li Xiuqin took a few quick steps and followed Yang Fan, as if she wanted to personally send him home.

Yang Fan, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned around and said seriously, "Xiuqin, don't cry so easily in the future. People who don't know the situation might really think I'm bullying you!"

"ah?"

Li Xiuqin was slightly stunned when she heard this. Her complexion, which had just returned to normal, turned red in the next second.

"Haha, I'm leaving."

Yang Fan chuckled, then turned around and strode out of the room.

Looking at Yang Fan's departing back, Li Xiuqin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Bang!"

After the door was closed, Li Xiuqin hesitated for a moment, then walked back to the master bedroom on the second floor and began to search around on the bed.

A moment later, a pair of men's trousers appeared in Li Xiuqin's hand. A hint of shyness flashed in her eyes again, and then she gently put the trousers against her face, and seemed to sniff them hard with her nose.

Just like that, Li Xiuqin held the pants tightly in her hands, and the blush on her face became more and more intense.

As if she thought of something embarrassing, she suddenly covered her hot cheeks, then hurried into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water.

Li Xiuqin raised her head and looked at her blushing face in the mirror. She was slightly stunned, and then she let out a silly laugh.

…

12 noon.

The monitoring room of the Vienna Hotel.

After Yang Fan finished watching the video recording Zhou Yun pulled out, his brows immediately twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Just as Zhou Yun said, around 6 o'clock the night before yesterday, Zhang Yan came to the Vienna Hotel and had dinner in the open-air restaurant on the top floor.

At about 7:30 in the evening, Zhang Yan took elevator No. 3 to go downstairs, but the elevator stopped at the 13th floor of the hotel.

Next, Zhang Yan seemed not to pay attention to the situation on the floor and just walked out. However, the camera on the 13th floor had a problem and did not capture Zhang Yan's figure in the corridor.

Except for the camera on the 13th floor, none of the other cameras captured Zhang Yan, and there was no video footage of Zhang Yan leaving the hotel. She just disappeared on the 13th floor.

No!

To be precise, Zhang Yan disappeared in the first half of the corridor on the 13th floor, because this half of the corridor happened to be a blind spot that the camera could not capture!

After watching the surveillance video, Yang Fan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have overlooked a very important issue.

Where did that female ghost come from last night?

What secrets are hidden in the first half of the corridor on the 13th floor?

Why was there no abnormality found after checking the entire 13th floor?

Did I miss some important details?

Just as Yang Fan was about to go to the 13th floor to check again, Zhou Yun suddenly spoke up, "Captain Yang, our department's intelligence personnel have found some old stories about Zhang Yan and the Vienna Hotel. Would you like to hear about them?"

Yang Fan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he replied without thinking: "Speak!"

Zhou Yun's face suddenly showed a strange expression. She organized her words a little and then said, "Zhang Yan is the wife of Li Qiang, the former richest man in Jiangnan City, and this hotel has always been under Li Qiang's name..."

"Three years ago, Li Qiang and his secretary had an affair in a hotel. They booked room 1314. Later, Zhang Yan received the news and rushed over, breaking into the room..."

"Finally, Li Qiang's secretary fell to her death while trying to escape through a window. She stopped breathing before the ambulance arrived."

"Later, Li Qiang spent a large sum of money to appease the secretary's family, and they didn't sue him, so the case wasn't recorded in the police files..."

"A year later, Li Qiang died of a heart attack in elevator No. 3 of this hotel. When he died, the elevator happened to stop on the 13th floor!"

"Moreover, when Li Qiang suffered a relapse of heart disease, Zhang Yan was by his side!"

"According to a police confession, Zhang Yan said she didn't have any quick-acting heart pills with her at the time, so she rushed Li Qiang to the hospital. However, Li Qiang died before the elevator even reached the first floor."

…

After listening to Zhou Yun's story, Yang Fan's brows furrowed even deeper. He said dissatisfiedly, "Zhou Yun, why didn't you tell me such an important clue earlier?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Yun's face. She said with a hint of guilt, "I'm sorry, Captain Yang, I'm not familiar with the work of the Sixth Special Operations Group yet. This is my dereliction of duty..."

Seeing Zhou Yun's self-blaming expression, Yang Fan couldn't bear to blame her any more, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Let's find Zhang Yan first!"
