Chapter 444: Blood
Miss Liu didn't care that Ye Qiaoqiao brought so many bodyguards. In Hong Kong, there were many wealthy businessmen with special hobbies, and Miss Liu was used to it.
Ye Qiaoqiao took a sip of the tea brought by the nanny, then stood up and looked at the portraits around the villa.
Miss Liu actually didn’t understand painting. She explained a few words and then couldn’t continue. She said quickly, “Qiao Qiao, I’m sorry, I can’t explain it well. Let Zhou come up to explain it to you, and I’ll go downstairs and arrange for the chef to prepare dinner.”
"We'll have kebabs for dinner, how about pastries?"
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded when she heard this. She came here originally for Zhou Cong, so naturally she didn't care about Miss Liu.
After receiving the response, Miss Liu quickly turned around and went downstairs.
Ye Qiaoqiao and Fu Juechuan stood side by side, looking at the painting in front of them, but actually talking.
"I think Miss Liu is quite sensible and polite. What do you think of Zhou Cong?"
Fu Juechuan said, "According to the survey results, Miss Liu likes men with Zhou Cong's looks, and she has dated no less than ten people."
"I see, it's all for sex." Ye Qiaoqiao suddenly realized.
Fu Juechuan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, "Qiao Qiao, I think Zhou Cong just wants to reconcile and have one less enemy, so he invited you. There is no special meaning behind it."
"We'll leave after dinner."
"Okay." Ye Qiaoqiao was a little disappointed, but she had indeed lost interest.
At this time Zhou Chong came up.
"Ms. Ye, I'm sorry. Originally, I thought it would be more convenient for my partner to lead you, but now it's my turn. Please don't be disgusted." Zhou Cong acted as if he was distancing himself from Ye Qiaoqiao. There was no ambiguity at all and he knew the rules very well.
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at him twice more and said, "How could that be? I'd better trouble Mr. Zhou to explain these paintings..."
Zhou Cong nodded and said, "It's all as I should."
“This summer seascape…”
Zhou Chong explained meticulously.
Ye Qiaoqiao followed and looked at the paintings one by one. She found that these paintings were indeed good paintings to collect, some of which Ye Qiaoqiao didn't even have.
Of course, it would be nice to be able to appreciate these paintings once, and she doesn't force it.
"What a pity about this painting..." Ye Qiaoqiao walked to the corridor on the second floor and pointed at the Hundred Banquets Painting in front of her. Because it depicted a festive scene, a lot of red pigment was used in it. But Ye Qiaoqiao still noticed at a glance that the pigment in the lower left corner of the painting where the red sedan chair was located had been accidentally smudged. It should have been a secondary smudge, which means it was not well preserved.
When Zhou Chong heard what Ye Qiaoqiao said, he just glanced at it casually, but when he saw clearly what was on it, he reached out his finger to touch it, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Yeah, what a pity."
"Miss Ye has really sharp eyes, what a pity."
Ye Qiaoqiao instantly sensed something was wrong and subconsciously exchanged glances with Fu Juechuan.
Fu Juechuan's attention never left Zhou Chong. He was a soldier and had a natural ability to observe people, so he would not be discovered by the other party at all.
This time, I actually found a clue.
In the garden downstairs, Ye Qiaoqiao looked at Miss Liu who was singing and dancing in front of her, but she didn't drink much of the beer in her hand.
Fu Juechuan did not leave Ye Qiaoqiao's side.
Always sitting next to Ye Qiaoqiao and Zhou Cong.
When one of their bodyguards who went to the bathroom came back, Ye Qiaoqiao and Fu Juechuan both got a signal with their eyes.
"It's getting late, and my Qiao Qiao still needs to recuperate, so I'll leave first." Fu Juechuan didn't give any serious reasons, he just said that he was taking care of Ye Qiaoqiao's health.
Obviously he didn't care about Zhou Cong's attitude.
Zhou Chong's grip on the quilt tightened a bit, then he regained his composure, smiled and stood up, saying, "It's my fault. I drank too much and lost track of time."
"Xiaoya." Zhou Chong called Miss Liu.
Miss Liu had also drunk quite a bit. She had just finished singing a song and was in a very good mood. When she heard his voice, she turned around and stumbled over. Zhou Cong went forward and hugged her as usual.
"Xiaoya, Miss Ye and Mr. Fu are going back first. Should I ask someone to see them off?"
Miss Liu raised her red and hot face and patted it, "Are you going back so soon?"
"Qiao Qiao, it's fun to play with you guys. Come again next time." Miss Liu said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for not treating you well. Qiao Qiao, please come again in the future."
"Okay, Xiaoya, you should get some rest. I'm leaving first."
Ye Qiaoqiao was taken by the hand by Fu Juechuan, and turned around and left with the bodyguards.
When Ye Qiaoqiao reached the door of the villa, she turned around and saw Zhou Cong watching them leave.
Ye Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes, and waited until she got into the car before asking, "What's going on with Zhou Cong? Why does it seem like he's planning something, but he hasn't done anything yet?"
Fu Juechuan checked the car first before letting the driver drive away.
The bodyguard who had gone to investigate the situation was also in the car.
"Miss, I found a basement in the villa, but because time was too urgent, I couldn't find the switch, but..."
"I found gloves and blood in an abandoned bathroom not far from the basement, but no knife."
"Based on my judgment, the blood is undoubtedly human blood." The bodyguard's tone was solemn.
Ye Qiaoqiao was dazed after hearing this. "No way, is Zhou Cong still doing some murder case in the basement?"
"Qiao Qiao, actually what you said is very likely." Fu Juechuan held her in his arms and stroked her fingers. "Didn't you find that the painting was a little strange before?"
"That extra color is actually blood."
"Something must have happened in that villa. Some accidents happened. As for whether there were casualties, I don't know."
Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't help but shudder. Even though she had no hesitation in targeting her enemies, she had never thought of killing them directly. This was her bottom line and was also the result of her education.
"I was wondering why I felt that Zhou Chong looked at people in a strange way."
"He wouldn't really have a life on his hands, would he?"
"I'll arrange someone to investigate." Fu Juechuan's mouth curled up. There was no way he would miss such a good opportunity. As long as Zhou Cong really took action, it would be his chance to deal with the other party.
"Miss Liu, will she be okay?" Ye Qiaoqiao frowned. "If she is an innocent person, we can't just watch her get into trouble. Let's just consider it as a good deed for us and the children."
Fu Juechuan said subconsciously, "He doesn't dare to target Miss Liu."
"Maybe not?" Ye Qiaoqiao was worried, "It's better not to take risks like this."
"Then we have to quickly investigate who the blood belongs to."
"The people I arranged will stay outside the villa. If they find him hurting Miss Liu, they will stop him immediately." Fu Juechuan was not afraid of Zhou Cong, an ordinary man who was powerless.
In his eyes, Zhou Chong is now no different from a chick.
