Chapter 293 A Turning Point
"So we still have one thing to do, which is to determine who the real murderer is. I strongly suspect this matter is not over yet. Zilan, think about it carefully. Have you offended anyone?"
After hearing Chu Siran's words, Zhang Zilan tried hard to recall, but she couldn't think of who she had offended. When she was in the orphanage, she was often bullied because she was weak and a girl.
Later, when she went to school, she was often ridiculed because of her tattered clothes. Although she had resentment in her heart, she always pretended not to hear it, thinking that less trouble is better than more. She never offended anyone.
Lin Yilan and Chu Siran looked at Zhang Zilan and thought for a while, then shook their heads, unable to understand what was going on.
At this moment, Lin Yilan suddenly had an idea. "I remembered that man had a black tattoo on the back of his neck. He seemed to be from the same organization as the group of black-clad men who were causing trouble at Haida."
"What? You said that the man who kidnapped Zhang Zilan and you is the same group of people as the one who wanted to kill Huo Juncheng at Haida University?" Chu Siran widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard Lin Yilan's words, and asked again to confirm.
Lin Yilan nodded heavily. "I'm sure they're from the same organization. I think the reason Lin Pinyan was able to stir up trouble at Haida back then was closely related to that organization. It would be great if we could find Lin Pinyan's whereabouts through the person who kidnapped us in Paris."
Zhang Zilan was standing next to the two of them, listening to Lin Yilan and Chu Siran talking back and forth, but she didn't understand what they were saying. It wasn't her fault, mainly because Zhang Ziyu and Huang Liyuan were already together at the time.
Zhang Zilan was heartbroken every day because of this incident. How could she have time to care about other things?
"Do you have any connection with the mysterious organization behind this?"
"Their leader is a drug lord. He nearly plunged the entire Ocean University student body into darkness. Lin Pinyan was working for this organization. I thought she was a bit evil, but I never thought she would do such a thing. After what happened last time, she just disappeared..."
Lin Yilan clenched her fists tightly as she spoke. "But I swear I will find her and make her pay the price for her actions. I will also catch the person who is manipulating everything behind the scenes."
When Zhang Zilan heard Lin Yilan say this, she nodded as if she understood. Although she didn't understand how much entanglement there was between Lin Yilan and the organization behind her, she knew that Lin Yilan had been looking for this organization.
In that case, perhaps she could help Lin Yilan a little.
"That man and Huang Liyuan have both been temporarily imprisoned by our Zhang family. Yilan, if you want to learn something from that man, perhaps I can help you and bring him to you."
"Really?"
"Of course, our Zhang family has deliberately suppressed the news to prevent it from spreading. We haven't handed the suspect over to the police yet. If I'm not mistaken, they should be in the Zhang family's basement right now."
Lin Yilan originally thought that although she knew the connection between the man and the organization, the man had long been handed over to the Paris police. Even if she knew this information, she would not be able to investigate further.
But unexpectedly, the man was not in the hands of the Paris police, but in Zhang Zilan's hands. So this matter still needs to be investigated further.
"Would you mind taking me to see that man now? I want to ask him about that organization."
Chu Siran, who was sitting nearby, heard Lin Yilan's words and casually said, "Don't people from organizations like this usually commit suicide on the spot after being caught to prevent them from revealing who's behind the attack? Yilan, are you sure that person is from the organization that attacked Haida? Could he be a fake?"
"I don't know about that. I only happened to see the tattoo on the back of the neck of the group that attacked Haida University. I also happened to see the man who kidnapped Zhang Zilan. I didn't observe them closely, so I can't be sure if they are the same organization."
"Just ask that man and you'll find out. He's in the basement of our Zhang family's house right now. My mother originally planned to hand these two people over to the police in a few days. After all, there's no point in keeping them locked up in the Zhang family's house. Since Yilan has questions for him, I'll take you to see him now."
…
The three people talked about this incident and the man who kidnapped Lin Yilan and Zhang Zilan. They no longer sat in the living room. They put down their coffee cups and followed Zhang Zilan to the basement.
Lin Yilan had originally thought that the so-called basement must be a dark, damp, and particularly depressing place. However, she had not expected that the Zhang family's basement was completely different from what she had imagined.
The temperature underground is relatively low and the sun doesn't shine, but the Zhang family placed a large stove in the basement, surrounded by flickering candles. Compared to the darkness, it is more warm.
Chu Siran unconsciously clicked his tongue twice. "Your Zhang family is too kind to the prisoners. I thought your Zhang family's basement was very impressive, but I didn't expect it to be such a warm environment."
Zhang Zilan smiled embarrassedly, then started joking in a good mood.
"Although our Zhang family has a basement, we're not a gang, nor are we ancient jailers. How could we possibly have a damp, dark underground prison? This basement was originally used to store my collection of books, but after Grandpa Zhang passed away a few years ago, no one has been here. We didn't know where to put those two people, so we ended up in the basement."
The three of them chatted idly on the way. If the road was longer, Lin Yilan felt that they could probably discuss where to go tomorrow.
"Zhang Zilan, what are you doing here? Let me tell you, Zhang Zilan, don't think that just because you've got Zhang Ziyu, you're the winner. You should know by now that Zhang Ziyu won't be around for long. You'll definitely be very sad then."
As soon as the three people arrived at the place where Huang Liyuan and the man were tied up, they heard Huang Liyuan's roar. Chu Siran scratched her eyebrows unhappily when she heard what Huang Liyuan said. If she were Zhang Zilan, she would definitely step forward and teach Huang Liyuan a lesson to make her know her place.
