"Liu Yan and Anna have a very good relationship. There's a saying, 'Beware of fire, theft, and best friends.' Just about a week ago, Jiang Rang and Anna's affair was exposed right under Liu Yan's nose."
With a "click," the girl turned off the recorder and smiled at Jiang Rang.
"I'll ask you one more time, what's your relationship with Liu Yan?"
Jiang Rang: "..." Didn't you hear everything? Then why ask?
With the evidence right there, Jiang Rang had no choice but to admit it, even if he didn't want to.
“I’m her ex-boyfriend.” He seemed to understand something, looking at Qi Jiu, “You’re here to see Liu Yan? You’ve come to the wrong person. We haven’t been in contact for a long time.”
Qi Jiu nodded. "Why did you break up?"
The police officer next to him was still taking notes, waiting for him to give his statement.
"The recording pen is here, didn't you..." Jiang Rang was about to say something when he met Qi Silin's gaze, and he stopped mid-sentence.
Jiang Rang sighed; he was too embarrassed to admit to having an affair.
But now...
"I...cuckolded her."
"The person you cheated with was Anna, right? After she found out you were colluding, besides being heartbroken, did anything else happen to her? Did she become more extreme in her personality?"
Jiang shook his head. "No, after she found out, she ran out crying. That's normal, I guess. We haven't communicated at all. She even blocked my contact information."
Qi Silin looked at the person next to him and raised an eyebrow.
Logically speaking, Jiang Rang shouldn't have killed Liu Yan after cheating on her. On the contrary, Liu Yan was the one who was likely to commit the crime because of love turning into hatred.
How come it's Liu Yan who's dead now?
That can only mean one thing: Jiang Rang is not the murderer.
"Brother, President Fu said..."
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a suit, whose features resembled Jiang Rang's, appeared in the doorway.
"Jiang Shang?"
Qi Jiu looked at the person who suddenly appeared at the door and, relying on her memory, called out the person's name.
According to the information, Jiang Shang is Jiang Rang's younger brother and currently holds the position of general manager in the company.
"Ah Shang, I have something to do here. You can go out first, I'll call you later."
"Okay, bro."
Jiang Shang glanced at the others in the office, nodded, and left.
"Your brother?"
“Yes.” Jiang Rang nodded, then looked at Qi Jiu as if he had thought of something.
"I don't know what happened to Liu Yan that made you go to so much trouble to come here to find me, but please don't bother my brother with this matter. He's just entered the workforce, he's a bit naive, and he doesn't know many things."
Time passed, and Qi Jiu stood at the entrance of HSBC, looking at the skyscrapers in front of her, her eyes slightly narrowed.
“Miss Qi, we’ve asked all the relevant questions, and Jiang Rang seems to be fine. The trail seems to have gone cold again.”
Lin Chuan is now experiencing a headache.
Liu Yan's interpersonal relationships are relatively simple. According to the case, this case should be solved quickly, but now, several days have passed, and not only have we not found a suspect, but we haven't even found all the clues.
One person after another was drawn out.
Qi Jiu pushed up her sunglasses, looked around at the scenery, and finally fixed her gaze on the coffee shop downstairs from HSBC.
"It's not broken yet."
The girl reached out and tugged at Qi Silin's sleeve, then walked straight into the coffee shop without saying a word.
Qi Silin didn't say anything, but took a long stride and followed.
Seeing this, Liu Yun also ran up, and Lin Chuan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chong Yu.
"Don't go. There are too many people there, and it will attract too much attention. Just wait here."
On this side, Qi Jiu pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked side by side with Qi Silin. The two of them really acted as if they were there to have coffee, choosing a seat and sitting down.
Hello, would you like something to drink?
"Two iced Americanos and one caramel macchiato."
Qi Jiu didn't hesitate at all, but her answer made the two people opposite her pause.
"How did you know I like iced Americano?" Qi Silin smiled at her, and even Liu Yun was waiting for her answer.
“I’ve seen you drink it before. As for the caramel macchiato…” The girl’s gaze shifted to Liu Yun, “You like sweet things. You bought a caramel macchiato on set before.”
Although these were not deliberate observations, she remembered them all.
Qi Silin smiled, noticing that the people at the next table were about to leave, he quietly stood up and blocked their way. "Interested in having a chat?"
Jiang Shang looked at the person in front of him, then at the two people sitting next to him, and nodded blankly.
"Are you the people from the office just now? Are you police officers?"
Qi Jiu shook her head. "No, I'm not a police officer, and neither is he. You should know us."
This isn't just her being narcissistic; the Qi and Shen families are practically household names in City A. Even if they haven't met in person, people in high society should at least know them.
Sure enough, Jiang Shang nodded the next second.
"Yes, I know them, Young Master Qi and Miss Qi."
The waiter brought the coffee over, and after Qi Jiu and the others left, she stirred the coffee with a spoon, her tone relaxed.
Do you know Anna?
Jiang Shang nodded. "I know her. I've seen her in my brother's office. She's my brother's girlfriend."
"Have you met another girl? Her name is Liu Yan, and she's also an actress."
"Liu Yan?" Jiang Shang lowered his eyes as if thinking, but finally shook his head. "No. I've only ever seen Anna in my brother's office."
Qi Jiu nodded, but before she could speak, the person opposite her spoke again. "What's wrong? What happened? My brother is the president of a company, an entertainment company. It's normal for him to have some women around him, right?"
Although it may sound harsh, it's the truth: there are very few clean people in the entertainment industry. Many artists will abandon their principles for their career or money.
"It's normal, we're just asking a case question, don't be nervous." Qi Silin took a sip of coffee.
Jiang Shang nodded blankly, then seemed to realize something, "Did something happen to Anna? Or Liu Yan...?"
"No, they're all fine, it just touched on something else."
Qi Jiu looked at him, a smile playing on her lips. "I'm sorry to have bothered you. I remember you were just looking for your brother. Go on, we need to head back too. Thank you for your cooperation."
Liu Yun watched as the person opened their eyes again and started spouting lies. Experienced as ever, she remained silent and took a sip of her caramel macchiato.
So sweet~
"Oh? Okay."
Jiang Shang stood up, nodded to Qi Jiu and the other two, and then strode away.
