There's no use following me.
Yan Ying was detained for three days. Luo Yuwen learned the news on his mobile phone.
As soon as Luo Yuwen turned on his phone in the morning, a piece of news titled "Yan Ying disagrees with her brother's will and makes a scene at the funeral!" rushed into his eyes. The photo in the news showed Yan Ying holding a vase angrily, and Jiang Shuiying squatting on the ground pitifully with tears in her eyes.
This photo made Luo Yuwen raise his eyebrows, because the perspective of the photo looked like it was taken from the audience seats.
He thought of the camera that had been raised in the audience yesterday.
Combining the information Jiang Shuiying had previously released to the media, Luo Yuwen came to a conclusion - Jiang Shuiying did it on purpose.
He deliberately told the media not to disturb them, but also gave them the exact time and date, and let Yan Ying make such a big fuss. As for why Yan Ying fell for the trick so easily, Luo Yuwen really couldn't figure it out.
"What on earth does this woman want to do?"
Luo Yuwen clicked on the comments and found that more people were speaking up for Jiang Shuiying. Although there were still people scolding her, it was much better than before.
"If Yan Ming's brother really cared about him, why would he make such a fuss at the funeral? It's really..."
"On the contrary, I feel sorry for Jiang Shuiying. Even after her husband died, she was still treated like this."
“That’s right…”
Luo Yuwen understood that Jiang Shuiying was trying to clear his own reputation.
"Miss Jiang, so this is your purpose?"
But Luo Yuwen still didn't quite understand. Jiang Shuiying was no longer acting, and the property she had was more than enough to last her the rest of her life. Why was she so anxious to clear her name?
With this question in mind, Luo Yuwen picked up his helmet, went out, started the car and drove towards Yan's house.
After Luo Yuwen arrived at Yan's house, he thought that Jiang Shuiying, who had just finished the funeral, should go out, at least to the company to deal with the inheritance issue. After all, Jiang Shuiying is now the largest shareholder of Yan's.
But Jiang Shuiying didn't. She didn't go out the whole day. The door of the Yan family was closed tightly, and not even a fly could get in.
Luo Yuwen really couldn't figure out what this woman was doing, nor could he guess what she wanted to do.
Inside Yan's house, Jiang Shuiying was lying on the sofa, boredly watching the news on her phone.
There were more and more comments speaking in her favor, and public opinion began to question Yan Ying's behavior. She watched more and more seriously and didn't notice that the housekeeper was talking to her at all.
"Miss, Miss?"
Jiang Shuiying came back to her senses and replied, "Hmm? What's the matter?"
"Luo Yuwen is squatting at the door again, do you want to..."
Jiang Shuiying put down her phone and waved.
"Don't worry about it for now," Jiang Shuiying reached out and put her hair up, "Wait a little later, ask the nanny to help me prepare dinner first."
"This detective has been stalking me for so long, I have to treat him to a meal."
"Yes, miss."
Outside Yan's house, Luo Yuwen was dressed in black, with a lot of dirt and leaves stuck on his shoes and pants. He looked a little listless - he had been squatting there for another whole day.
After waiting for a while, it was completely dark. When he looked at his phone, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. Luo Yuwen shook his numb feet and prepared to start the car to go home.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang, and a strange number was displayed on it.
"Hello?"
Luo Yuwen was a little surprised that the voice came from the other side, but after hearing the content clearly, he was stunned.
"Mr. Luo, you've been squatting outside for so long. It's so late. Would you like to come in and have a meal before leaving?"
The voice was actually Jiang Shuiying.
"Ms. Jiang? How do you have my phone number?"
"Besides, how do you know..."
Jiang Shuiying chuckled twice. Her voice was soft, with a hook at the end, which completely disturbed Luo Yuwen's thoughts.
"You're so famous, isn't it easy to get your phone number?"
"Besides, you are in my territory now. Of course, I can find out if I want to know."
"How about Mr. Luo? It's so late, why don't you eat first?"
Since Jiang Shuiying said so, Luo Yuwen did not delay any longer. He shook off the dirt on his pants and walked towards the gate of Yan's house. Before he got there, he saw that the housekeeper was already waiting for him.
The Yan residence was no different from when he came yesterday, except that the servants were still pitifully few. When the housekeeper led him into the dining room, Luo Yuwen discovered that Jiang Shuiying was actually cooking for him.
The butler led Luo Yuwen to the dining table, motioned for him to sit down, and then left. At this time, there were only two people left in the restaurant.
Jiang Shuiying was wearing a white home dress. Her long curly hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, but it was a little loose, with a few strands of black hair falling on her fair neck.
When she saw Luo Yuwen come in, she raised the soup spoon and smiled.
"Mr. Luo, please sit down first. The meal will be ready soon."
"...Okay, Ms. Jiang."
Luo Yuwen sat upright at the dining table, his hands on his legs, looking a little embarrassed.
In front of him was a white porcelain tableware with gold rims. Although there were some home-cooked dishes on the plate, it still made people's mouths water, especially since Luo Yuwen had been squatting there for the whole day.
Jiang Shuiying came out of the kitchen with soup in her hand. She noticed Luo Yuwen's awkwardness and said to him:
"Mr. Luo, don't be so nervous, it's just a meal."
Jiang Shuiying smiled warmly, the steam from the hot soup made her face red and her eyes moist.
This morning's news still made Luo Yuwen feel wary. He nodded to Jiang Shuiying to express his gratitude. Then Jiang Shuiying took a seat and the two of them started eating.
The sound of dishes and chopsticks clattering could be heard on the dining table. The food looked delicious and fragrant, but Luo Yuwen seemed to have no appetite.
He knew that the point of this meal was not to eat, but Jiang Shuiying didn't say anything, so he didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Jiang Shuiying who spoke.
"Mr. Luo, have you gained anything from me after watching over me for so long?"
Luo Yuwen put down his chopsticks, lowered his eyes and shook his head in frustration.
"I really didn't find anything, Miss Jiang."
"If it was really you who killed Yan Ming, then I can only say that your method of killing was flawless."
Jiang Shuiying lowered her head and smiled twice, her soft hair swaying slightly with her movements.
"There's no such thing as perfect..."
"There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world, Mr. Luo."
"You're a detective, so I don't need to teach you this, right?"
Luo Yuwen raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Shuiying without saying a word.
What does this mean? Is she hinting that there are loopholes to be found?
Luo Yuwen leaned back in his chair, while Jiang Shuiying supported herself with her arms, drawing circles on the bone dish with her chopsticks. After a few seconds of silence, she bit her lip and raised her eyes to look at Luo Yuwen.
"Since we can't find anything, will Mr. Luo come tomorrow?"
Jiang Shuiying had just drunk some hot soup, and her lips were still slightly red, gently bitten by her white teeth. Luo Yuwen looked away and turned to look into Jiang Shuiying's eyes.
"Miss Jiang, do you want me to come?"
Jiang Shuiying put down her chopsticks after hearing this, stood up and leaned towards Luo Yuwen. Their faces were so close that Luo Yuwen could even feel her breath.
Luo Yuwen stiffened, but did not dodge.
Then, Jiang Shuiying said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Of course, Mr. Luo, you must come tomorrow."
Jiang Shuiying saw all of Luo Yuwen's nervous movements. She blinked, stood up straight, and walked out of the restaurant, speaking as she walked:
"Okay, Mr. Luo, we've finished our meal and talked. I'm going upstairs now. Please do as you please."
After saying that, Jiang Shuiying went upstairs without looking back, leaving Luo Yuwen alone in the restaurant.
***
The next day, Luo Yuwen came to Yan's house as agreed with Jiang Shuiying last night. This time he parked his motorcycle in front of the door openly.
Jiang Shuiying knows it anyway, so it will save her some trouble.
Sure enough, before long, the door of the Yan family slowly opened and the familiar nanny car slowly drove out.
Jiang Shuiying was sitting in the back seat when she saw Luo Yuwen standing by the roadside, telling the driver to just drive away and not to bother with him. Luo Yuwen watched the nanny car pass by him so directly, but he didn't get angry. He just got on his motorcycle and drove away behind the nanny car.
Luo Yuwen was still a little curious about where Jiang Shuiying was taking him. It was so mysterious. It couldn't be a secret base or something.
As a result, the nanny car stopped in front of an orphanage.
Luo Yuwen got out of the car and looked at the orphanage's plaque through his sunglasses with a puzzled expression.
"Rainbow Orphanage?"
Jiang Shuiying got out of the car in front. She was wearing another white long skirt today. The waist-hugging style outlined her figure very well. The hem of the skirt fluttered with her movements. From Luo Yuwen's perspective, it looked like a white butterfly.
She turned around, glanced up and down at Luo Yuwen, and went straight into the orphanage without saying a word.
Luo Yuwen was even more confused - what did her look mean?
He looked down at himself. Black vest, black leather jacket, black pants, black Martin boots. Wasn't this outfit abnormal?
Then Luo Yuwen buttoned up his leather jacket, took off his sunglasses, kept a distance from Jiang Shuiying, and entered the orphanage.
Jiang Shuiying seemed to be very familiar with the staff in the orphanage. After she entered the orphanage, many staff members greeted her. While talking, Jiang Shuiying smiled many times, which was a little dazzling in the sunlight.
Jiang Shuiying also got along very well with the children here and became friends with them. Luo Yuwen stood not far away, watching her play with the children.
Moreover, Luo Yuwen, such a big man, suddenly appeared here, and no staff came forward to question or drive him away. Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Shuiying must have just told them.
He sat on a chair under the shade of a tree, looking at Jiang Shuiying playing with the children not far away, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Could a person who visits orphans and gets along well with children really be a murderer?
Then, Jiang Shuiying, who was among the children, seemed a little tired. She stood up, patted her skirt, and went into the public restroom. Luo Yuwen saw this and followed her from a distance. But strangely, after waiting for almost half an hour, Jiang Shuiying still didn't come out.
The restroom is next to the stairs of this building, located in the corner, with the women's and men's restrooms on both sides of the stairs.
He went to the bathroom and waited for more than ten minutes, but still no one came out.
Luo Yuwen stood at the stairs and shouted into the women's restroom:
"Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang?"
"Are you okay? Are you okay?"
"Miss Jiang?"
No one responded from inside.
Luo Yuwen frowned, opened his phone and looked through the call logs. He called back the number that Jiang Shuiying had called him yesterday.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Suddenly, a cell phone rang above his head!
Luo Yuwen suddenly looked up and saw a piece of white clothing disappearing around the corner of the stairs.
"The river is overflowing!"
Luo Yuwen stretched out his long legs and chased up the stairs, taking three steps at a time. But when he reached the second floor of the building, he only saw a group of children and some frightened staff members, and there was no sign of Jiang Shuiying at all!
"Jiang Shuiying! Jiang Shuiying! Where are you?!"
At this moment, the children upstairs came downstairs for lunch, and all the children rushed out at once, hindering his movements. He could only move forward carefully sideways, trying his best not to scare the children.
"The river is overflowing!"
After all the children had left, Luo Yuwen stood with his hands on his hips facing the empty corridor, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Jiang Shuiying disappeared in front of him!
Before he could figure out what was going on, a white hand reached out from the room next to him, and with a clever move, it pulled the muscular Luo Yuwen into the room!
Luo Yuwen's back hit the wall with a loud bang, and he frowned in pain.
“Hmm!”
Luo Yuwen opened his eyes, and the person holding his arm was Jiang Shuiying who had just disappeared from his sight!
"The river is overflowing with you..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Shuiying covered his mouth. Then, Jiang Shuiying leaned her upper body on Luo Yuwen. Luo Yuwen leaned against the wall with his hands clenched into fists.
Jiang Shuiying's eyes no longer had the usual pity and tenderness in them, but were instead a little cold. Her voice echoed in the empty room.
"Shh..."
"Luo Yuwen, I'm telling you the truth. It's useless for you to follow me like this."
"Instead of following me, you should go and find out how Yan Ming died."
Jiang Shuiying tapped Luo Yuwen's firm muscles through his leather jacket and continued:
"Just do what Detective Luo is good at."
"Also, you should shave, Detective."
