During such a difficult time, he was still devoted to work. It shows how indifferent he is to love and how much he values ​​fame and gain.

Facing such a fragile Tang Hai, Xu Yao did not know how to comfort him. He just patted him on the back and said,

"Manager Tang, I am very sorry to bring back sad memories of the past.

As for your suggestion that I send someone to protect you, I will consider it carefully, but the hope may be a little slim. Because applying for police protection requires many procedures, and there must be very legitimate reasons.

You can imagine, if the reason I wrote on the application form I submitted was that your wife's ghost came back for revenge and needed protection, my boss would definitely not approve it.

This is also my attitude. I don't believe there are ghosts in this world."

After Xu Yao finished speaking, he patted Tang Hai on the back again and wanted to leave the office.

At this time, what Tang Hai needed was to lick his wounds alone, and he wanted more unnecessary comfort.

On the way back, Xu Yao used the phone to remotely control the work again. He asked Liu Xiaobo to monitor every entrance and exit of the villa three days before and after the incident and carefully investigate it.

Lao Tan also called and reported the situation. Since the case was suspected to be committed by an acquaintance, Xu Yao asked Lao Tan to check all the members of the Chen family, as well as the maids and staff who worked on the island.

The workload is indeed a bit heavy, so the focus is on Cheng Jia's family and the maids who work for a long time, but Lao Tan's side is not ideal.

On the day of the incident, Chen Xinyu was outside with a client, so there was time for witnesses and definite surveillance.

Chen Xinyu's wife Tian Ju, Chen Xinli and her husband, plus Chen Xingfu and his wife, the five of them played mahjong together. On the night of the incident, the five of them played mahjong until very late.

As for the housekeepers and servants in Chen's villa, they were interrogated. Many of them lived in collective dormitories and could prove that they slept in the same room.

Butler Zhang had been serving Chen in his room, and Chen himself had the most say.

Aunt Liu, however, had been serving the young masters and mistresses of the Chen family in the mahjong room, and did not go back to her room to sleep until 3 o'clock in the evening.

The progress of the case was very slow.

After Xu Yao returned to the room, he immediately called the police in charge of the island and asked them to send all the information from the report of Tang Hai's daughter Tang Siyan being raped.

He turned on the computer and began to search for all the clues about Chen Xinhua and her daughter Tang Siyan.

Soon he found the photo of Chen Xinhua's handwritten notes uploaded to the Internet. When he compared it with the bloody words on the wall of the room at the scene of Chen Xinhua's crime, it turned out that they were all done by the same person.

Xu Yao certainly couldn't believe that Chen Xinhua's death was caused by Liu Xinhua's ghost.

So he had reason to believe that the missing Liu Xinhua had returned to the island again without anyone noticing. The previous ghost incidents were most likely her deliberate trickery.

This wooden house in the restricted area was originally built by Mr. Chen for his daughter, and at that time, his whole family lived in it. Chen Xinhua was naturally very familiar with this area.

That was why Chen Xinhua was abducted and no one found out until he was killed.

But Xu Yao still didn't understand one thing:

Yalin's forensic report said that Chen Xinhua died of excessive fright. But when they arrived at the crime scene, Chen Xinhua was sitting on a chair and tied up tightly, but his eyes were covered with a black cloth.

How could Chen Xinhua be frightened to death with his eyes covered? Isn't this contradictory?

If Chen Xinhua was frightened to death because he saw the ghost of Chen Xinhua, how could he see a ghost with his eyes covered?

With this inference, there may be other reasons why Chen Xinhua was frightened to death.

But what kind of reason could make Chen Xinhua be frightened to death while blindfolded?

Xu Yao believed that the power of words should not be able to do it.

If Chen Xinhua is really not dead, then it doesn’t make sense that the Chen family has spent so much effort to find her for so many years but to no avail.

After all, the Chen family is wealthy and powerful, and it is not too difficult to find a living person.

Another thing is, if Chen Xinhua is really just pretending to be a ghost, then is she hiding in a secluded place on the island now?

Xu Yao had questions in his mind one after another, and as he thought about it, his head began to ache again.

He couldn't help but slap his head, stood up, stretched out his right hand to check his watch, it was exactly 3:30 in the afternoon. He

had been sitting and looking for information, and his back and waist ached. Xu Yao decided to take off his clothes and throw them on the chair, then lie down on the sofa and take a nap.

Closing his eyes, Xu Yao could feel his temples throbbing, accompanied by waves of tingling.

Xu Yao's headaches are not a one- or two-day thing, he is now used to it, so he keeps reminding himself not to think anymore and to pay attention to rest.

But things like mental relaxation are not something Xu Yao can control, but his body has completely surrendered and given up resistance.

After a while, Xu Yao lay on the sofa, his mind still turning from time to time, falling into a state of hallucination and coma. Everything and the sounds around him became more and more distant.

He fell asleep...

He didn't know how long it had been, Xu Yao heard some subtle footsteps echoing in the room.

He wanted to open his eyes, but he only opened a crack, and through the crack he dimly saw a figure slowly walking towards him.

The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of socks with Peppa Pig patterns. This person stumbled to the bed and picked up a blanket, then quietly walked in front of him, stretched out his hands, and was about to cover him with the blanket. And his body got closer and closer, and his nose was about to touch his face.

Xu Yao's subconscious resistance skills were activated, and he woke up instantly. He quickly stood up and saw that it was Mo Xiaoqing.

"Little kid, what are you doing?"

Xu Yao's sudden words startled Mo Xiaoqing, and she couldn't help but let out a small scream, and the blanket in her hand fell to the floor.

She hesitantly explained, "Captain Xu, I originally came here to ask you to have dinner with me, but I saw that you were sleeping soundly and you didn't have a blanket on you, so I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I just... I just..."

Mo Xiaoqing was so concerned about him just now, and Xu Yao's mood was very complicated. He was happy and painful at the same time. He was happy that Mo Xiaoqing still cared about him, but he was painful because he didn't know whether this relationship was real or fake?
