Are you interested in being an actor?
Jiang Shuiying was stunned for a few seconds when she heard this, then she lowered her head and sneered.
"Luo Yuwen, sometimes I'm really pissed off by the stubbornness in your head."
"First, Zhu Zhi is 23, and I'm 27. No matter how I dress, anyone with eyes can tell I'm older than her. She called me sister to give me face. How could you tell that she knew me?"
"Secondly, as I just mentioned, the secretary also said before that no one knew about their relationship, but we made it so obvious. She will definitely meet us because she doesn't want to expose her relationship with Yan Ming. I don't believe you can't think of this."
"Third, do you really think I'm willing to get involved in this? I'm trying to help you out of kindness, but you've never believed me from the beginning to the end."
"Zhu Zhi just said she was forced. Am I supposed to blame a girl who was threatened? I could just walk away. My husband is dead anyway, and I have all his money. It's enough for me to live a carefree life."
Jiang Shuiying raised her head and looked directly at Luo Yuwen: "But what about you?"
These words caught Luo Yuwen off guard. Jiang Shuiying's words were like a sharp knife cutting his ears, and his expression changed from indifference to a little panic.
Jiang Shuiying was right. What he had just said was a bit arbitrary and his tone didn't seem very good.
Luo Yuwen said with some annoyance: "Jiang Shuiying, that's not what I meant..."
The weather at the seaside in summer always changes very quickly. It was sunny just now, but soon the sky was covered with dark clouds and a drizzle began to fall.
Jiang Shuiying looked at the sky and felt that his mood was the same as the weather.
She sighed and said to Luo Yuwen, "Since you don't trust me, there's no need for us to cooperate."
"You can continue investigating my husband's death if you want. I don't want to get involved. Let's part ways."
This time it was Luo Yuwen's turn to get restless: "What...?"
Jiang Shuiying stretched out her big hand, picked up her bag from the back seat, and prepared to open the car door and walk out.
But the moment she opened the car door, her arm was grabbed by a rough hand. The hand was warm and strong, and Jiang Shuiying could feel the calluses on it through the clothes.
Turning around, I saw Luo Yuwen's expression of forbearance and guilt.
“…Do you have anything else to say?”
Luo Yuwen didn't let go. He took a breath, lowered his head, and said, "Jiang Shuiying, I was reckless just now. I was too arbitrary. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
"You can leave if you want, you can break up if you want, but it's raining now, you..."
"Let's wait until the rain stops before we go."
Jiang Shuiying stared at the person in front of her without saying a word. She glanced at the rain outside the window which was getting heavier, shrank back and closed the car door.
Luo Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief.
Silence once again enveloped the car, and neither of them spoke. Jiang Shuiying leaned against the window, scrolling through her phone, while Luo Yuwen stared at the rain outside, his mind lost in thought.
Luo Yuwen didn't know what he was thinking. He was thinking about what Jiang Shuiying had just said and thinking that he shouldn't question her like that.
Maybe I am too prejudiced and always feel that the wife and the mistress should be incompatible, Luo Yuwen thought in annoyance.
On the other hand, Jiang Shuiying didn't think so much. After she calmed down, she started searching online for the best seafood stall nearby.
The summer rain comes and goes quickly. When Jiang Shuiying was checking the third food stall on the map, the rain outside stopped completely and the dark clouds dispersed.
After Jiang Shuiying chose a good location, she opened the car door and got out. Luo Yuwen didn't know what she was thinking, and he felt a little nervous and a little disappointed.
Is this really not going to cooperate with me?
Jiang Shuiying stood outside the car, looking at the stunned man inside, almost rolling her eyes in anger, "Come down! Let's eat!"
"I found a food stall near the crew. Maybe I can find out something."
"If you want to know, just follow me!" After saying that, Jiang Shuiying walked towards the food stall without looking back.
Luo Yuwen got out of the car without stopping and jogged after him.
The food stall chosen by Jiang Shuiying was located just behind the set, accessible through a small forest. Although it was lunchtime, it had just rained heavily, so the place was empty. The two of them chose a corner seat and sat down.
After ordering the food, the two looked around while waiting, hoping that the target would appear.
Looking at the worn wooden table in front of him, Luo Yuwen said, "Jiang Shuiying, where did you get the news that Zhu Zhi would come here?"
Jiang Shuiying propped up her chin and responded, "Didn't you hear what her agent said? Zhu Zhi finished filming today, and there must be a wrap-up banquet for the wrap-up."
"Don't be fooled by the shabby appearance of this restaurant. It has very high reviews online. If I were to hold a wrap party, I would definitely choose this place."
But this time it was not what Jiang Shuiying expected. Even when they started working, no one from the crew showed up, let alone Zhu Zhi.
"It seems that Miss Jiang made a wrong prediction this time?" Luo Yuwen said sarcastically while peeling shrimp for himself.
Jiang Shuiying bit the crab leg and said, "Oh, don't be so proud."
The two planned to finish their meal and return to City G quickly while the weather was good to avoid another heavy rain.
Just as Jiang Shuiying swallowed the last mouthful of seafood porridge, a pair of hands suddenly patted her shoulders. When she turned around, she found a person standing behind her. The person was wearing a black mask and a black baseball cap. The person looked like a girl and was holding a lunch box in her hand.
"What a coincidence, you're here too?"
Jiang Shuiying recognized it as Zhu Zhi's voice.
"Miss Zhu? How did you...?"
"Hey," Zhu Zhi took off her mask as she sat next to Jiang Shuiying. Her face was clean and without makeup underneath the mask. "You guys are really good at finding this restaurant. It's really delicious."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuiying glanced at Luo Yuwen with a somewhat smug look, while Luo Yuwen picked up the teacup and looked away.
"Are you going back to G City soon?"
Jiang Shuiying nodded.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhi bit her lower lip, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Jiang Shuiying saw this and smiled.
"What does Miss Zhu want to say?"
Zhu Zhi was silent for a few seconds before she spoke: "Um...Sister, do you want to come to our company to be an actor?"
"I noticed you when you first came in. You look like an actor. You'll definitely be famous in our company!"
After these words were spoken, Jiang Shuiying did not react at all, but Luo Yuwen, who was drinking tea beside him, choked and coughed several times.
Luo Yuwen wiped his mouth, his thoughts swirling in his head. So Zhu Zhi's previous attitude towards Jiang Shuiying was because he wanted to recruit her to be an actress?
It seems that I really misunderstood Jiang Shuiying.
But Zhu Zhi is obviously an artist. Can an artist also work part-time as a scout?
But the next second, Zhu Zhi answered Luo Yuwen's question, as if he knew he would think so. Zhu Zhi said:
"My agent just said that when he saw you, he felt that you had astrological qualities and that you looked familiar. I'm coming over so he asked you something."
"Sister, would you like to consider it? Being an actor makes a lot more money than being a detective assistant!"
Luo Yuwen looked around and found that Zhu Zhi came alone. He asked, "Miss Zhu, where is your agent? Why did you come here in person to ask about this?"
After all, Zhu Zhi is a singer with some fame, so it is a bit unreasonable for him to come and poach her personally.
"She's arguing with the director. We have a good relationship, so I'll ask for her." Zhu Zhi said, then turned her head to look at Jiang Shuiying, her eyes sparkling. "Sister, will you think about it?"
Zhu Zhi's voice was clear and she spoke very quickly, chirping like a little sparrow, which made Jiang Shuiying smile even more.
"Thank you, Miss Zhu, but I have no plans to change my career right now," Jiang Shuiying looked at Luo Yuwen with a half-smile, "Being a detective assistant is actually quite fun."
Luo Yuwen picked up the teacup again and turned his head away.
Zhu Zhi's shrug visibly dropped, and his tone wasn't as cheerful as before: "Ah...Okay then."
She took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Jiang Shuiying.
"This is my agent's business card. If you change your mind, you can call her."
Jiang Shuiying took it with a smile, nodded and thanked him, and then Zhu Zhi's phone rang.
"Oh, she's rushing me. I have to leave quickly!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After saying that, Zhu Zhi picked up the lunch box and ran away, leaving Jiang Shuiying and Luo Yuwen looking at the business card at the table.
Jiang Shuiying's smile did not fade, and she shook the business card between her fingers for a few times.
"Who made the wrong prediction, Mr. Detective?"
Luo Yuwen knew that he was in the wrong, so after drinking the tea, he apologized to Jiang Shuiying again - he was indeed too arbitrary before.
Jiang Shuiying was drinking tea and in a good mood.
The two rested for a while and got up to go back to the car. The sky, which was clear just now, suddenly became covered with dark clouds. It darkened almost in an instant, and then heavy rain began to fall.
Jiang Shuiying took off her vest and covered her head with it, and the two of them ran back to the car in the rain in a panic.
Inside the car, Luo Yuwen turned on the heater, intending to dry out the moisture brought in. Luo Yuwen was wearing a leather jacket, and although there was a lot of rain, his body was dry, only his hair was a little wet.
He took off his leather jacket and threw it into the back seat. The black vest underneath tightly wrapped his strong muscles. He had very low body fat and the veins on his arms were clearly visible.
Luo Yuwen is a person with little body odor. Although he had just sweated a little, the only smell on his body was the smell of laundry detergent, and there was no other strange smell.
But Jiang Shuiying likes perfume, especially ebony and rose. The faint rose scent diffused along with the water vapor and entered Luo Yuwen's nose.
The humid water vapor mixed with perfume spread in the car, which made Luo Yuwen feel a little uncomfortable and irritated.
On the other side, Jiang Shuiying had no intention of appreciating the good figure in front of her. She herself was in an awkward situation.
Jiang Shuiying's vest was completely soaked. The front of her white shirt was fine, but the back was soaked, revealing her fair back. Her hair was also wet, clung to her body in wisps, and she looked disheveled.
This uncontrollable situation made Jiang Shuiying frown. She was about to reach into the back seat to get her bag and see if the housekeeper had prepared a towel for her.
Suddenly, a white blanket fell to the ground and covered her head. When she turned around, she saw Luo Yuwen looking out the window as if nothing had happened, without looking away.
"The river is full, cover yourself if you don't want to catch a cold."
Jiang Shuiying sniffed and found that the blanket did not have any strange smell. Instead, it had a pleasant soapy scent and looked very new, which made Jiang Shuiying think more.
Where did he come from?
Jiang Shuiying wiped her hair and laughed twice, then said, "Luo Yuwen, why are you so awkward when you care about others?"
Luo Yuwen did not answer, but adjusted the temperature in the car so that it could dry out the moisture without being too cold. He also turned on the radio. After all these operations, the atmosphere in the car became much more relaxed.
Jiang Shuiying was humming a song while slowly wiping her hair, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Time passed slowly, but the rain outside the car seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of it getting lighter until Jiang Shuiying's clothes were completely dry.
The temperature in the car was just right, and the sound of rain outside the window was a good white noise. Plus, she had just eaten, so she felt a little dazed.
Jiang Shuiying yawned, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. "Detective, I'm so sleepy..."
"The rain won't stop for a while, how about... I take a nap?" Jiang Shuiying yawned again after saying that.
Luo Yuwen nodded, turned off the car radio and took out the small notebook he had kept, intending to use this time to sort out the clues.
"Okay, I'll call you when the rain stops."
Jiang Shuiying wrapped herself in the blanket with satisfaction, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes. The car was very quiet, and soon Jiang Shuiying's breathing became even.
Luo Yuwen was not sleepy. With the sound of breathing beside him and the sound of rain outside the car window, his thoughts began to gradually focus on the case. He picked up a pen and began to sort out the clues from the beginning.
So far, based on the known clues, Yan Ming committed suicide.
It just happened that Zhu Zhi suddenly wanted to change the announcement that day, and it happened that before that Zhu Zhi asked Yan Ming to order fruit and vegetable juice. It also happened that Jiang Shuiying had quarreled with Yan Ming and said she wanted a divorce the day before. It happened that the secretary was not with Yan Ming, and the glass of fruit and vegetable juice happened to enter Yan Ming's stomach and suffocated him to death.
But are there really so many coincidences?
Luo Yuwen scribbled on the paper, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the answer.
There is no perfect crime in this world. Jiang Shuiying even took the initiative to bring this up, clearly reminding Luo Yuwen that if it was a murder, there would definitely be flaws.
But where is the flaw?
As for Zhu Zhi, Luo Yuwen recalled the girl from earlier. Her expression and tone didn't sound like she was lying. Furthermore, for a celebrity, she wasn't arrogant. She was very cooperative during questioning, even helping her agent poach new talent. This alone showed that she had risen through the ranks, and meeting Yan Ming was truly an accident.
Everything is just too coincidental.
Moreover, Luo Yuwen always maintained a neutral attitude towards the relationship between Zhu Zhi and Yan Ming. Firstly, he didn't know whether what Zhu Zhi said was true or not. Secondly, according to the information he had found before, it was said that Yan Ming was a very caring person, even a philanthropist.
Either Zhu Zhi was lying to him. Yan Ming was dead anyway, so whatever Zhu Zhi said was the truth.
Either Yan Ming has been a hypocrite from the beginning to the end, and the so-called philanthropist is a fabricated persona.
In fact, Luo Yuwen was more inclined to the latter, because he didn't believe a 23-year-old girl could control a 35-year-old group president. But he was under someone else's control and had no choice but to remain neutral.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuwen felt a little annoyed. He shouldn't have let the male secretary go so easily before. He should have asked a few more questions...
It seems that I have to hurry back to City G.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuwen turned his gaze back to Jiang Shuiying. She was wrapped in a blanket, with only half of her fair face exposed. She looked both well-behaved and quiet.
"Jiang Shuiying, what role do you play in this matter..."
