Who has a guilty conscience?
The next morning, after Luo Yuwen tidied himself, he stood in front of Jiang Shuiying's door, feeling a little hesitant.
Because when he thought about how Jiang Shuiying had just walked away after doing him a prank last night, leaving him lying on the carpet in a mess, he felt irritated. But now they were in a partnership, so leaving Jiang Shuiying here alone was impossible.
If you want to remind me, then remind me properly. What's the point of taking advantage of others? Luo Yuwen was very upset.
Luo Yuwen raised his hand and put it down again, raised it and put it down again, but failed to knock on Jiang Shuiying's door twice.
Finally, on the third time, when he mustered up the courage to knock, the door opened from the inside with a click, which made Luo Yuwen's hanging hand a little embarrassed.
Jiang Shuiying was wearing a gray sports jacket on the outside and the same home clothes underneath. She tied her hair up high and neatly into a ponytail. There was not a single strand of hair on her fair face, making her look like a boiled egg.
Jiang Shuiying saw Luo Yuwen's hanging hand and laughed out loud: "Pfft, you didn't stay at my door for a long time, did you? Luo Yuwen?"
Luo Yuwen withdrew his hand, scratched his hair awkwardly, and changed the subject.
"Let's go quickly, we have to check the next one..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator. Jiang Shuiying didn't get angry and followed him with a smile.
"Wait for me..."
Of course Luo Yuwen would not abandon Jiang Shuiying. After the two finished breakfast at the hotel, Luo Yuwen still opened the car door for Jiang Shuiying first, helped her put her bag away, and then returned to the driver's seat.
Jiang Shuiying sat in the passenger seat and looked in a good mood.
"Mr. Detective's service is really thoughtful."
“Do you do this to every client?”
Luo Yuwen started the car and said helplessly: "Jiang Shuiying, please stop teasing me..."
Jiang Shuiying turned her head, looked at the good weather outside the car window, and hummed happily.
Luo Yuwen drove his SUV smoothly, without even getting stuck in traffic, and returned to City G smoothly. Seeing that it was not yet noon, he turned a corner and planned to send Jiang Shuiying back to Yan's house first.
On the way, the two discussed in the car that Jiang Shuiying would go back to take a shower first, and Luo Yuwen would also go back to tidy up. In the afternoon, the two would meet at Yan's and plan to ask the male secretary some more details.
In fact, Luo Yuwen had a question, which he had wanted to ask Jiang Shuiying since the first time he came to Yan's house.
"You asked me why Yan Ying doesn't live in Yan's house?" Jiang Shuiying leaned against the car window, her tone a little strange: "Why does he have to live with me when he has his own house? When Yan Ming was here, he would come back a few times. Now that Yan Ming is gone, of course he won't come back."
"Besides, the Yan residence is under my name now, so naturally he can only come back if I call him."
Luo Yuwen shut his mouth tactfully.
But Luo Yuwen still had another question in his mind: Yan Ying hadn't called him in the past few days. If the matter was really that urgent, she wouldn't have gone without contacting him for several days.
However, Yan Ying's decision not to contact him saved him a lot of trouble, as it would prevent him from discovering his cooperative relationship with Jiang Shuiying.
...Why does it sound like an affair?
Luo Yuwen shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.
Jiang Shuiying sat in the passenger seat and watched Luo Yuwen frown, sigh, and shake his head, and she just felt funny.
What a nerd with a lot of inner drama.
Just then they arrived at the gate of Yan's house. The housekeeper was already waiting outside. Luo Yuwen had just parked the car and was about to get out to open the door for Jiang Shuiying when the door was opened by the housekeeper, who helped Jiang Shuiying out of the car.
Butler: "Miss, be careful."
Luo Yuwen: “…”
Luo Yuwen had no choice but to hand Jiang Shuiying's bag to the housekeeper. After confirming the itinerary with Jiang Shuiying again, he turned around and prepared to return to the car.
Inadvertently, he heard the housekeeper's concerned and self-blaming voice, saying to Jiang Shuiying:
"Miss, how have you been these days?"
"How could you not let me accompany you...in case..."
"Miss..."
Jiang Shuiying was helpless: "It's only two days, not two years. You are too cautious. Don't worry, I'm back..."
***
Jiang Shuiying was supported by the housekeeper and walked into the Yan residence. She sat on the sofa, took a sip of the brewed black tea on the table, and then began to ask:
"Did Yan Ying go to the company to cause trouble during the two days I was away? Did he look for anyone else?"
The butler shook his head, "No, miss."
"Yan Ying has been hiding in her house these past two days and hasn't come out. I don't know what she's been doing."
Jiang Shuiying sneered twice: "He probably still thinks that the people from the past will help him. In fact, everyone is in trouble. It's only a matter of time before we catch them."
"Go and help me turn on the water. I need to take a good bath. I have to go to the company in the afternoon."
"By the way, let me make another call..."
The butler bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Miss, the water is ready, you can just go in."
Jiang Shuiying understood, curled the corners of his mouth, went upstairs and went into the bathroom.
On the other side, Luo Yuwen hurried back home and began to organize the clues he had found in the past two days on the whiteboard.
These past two days haven't been completely fruitless. At least I know why Zhu Zhi chose to be Yan Ming's lover. And Yan Ming might not be as honest and kind as everyone thinks. He might be a hypocrite.
This means that this is not a simple murder of passion, and may involve other people or other companies.
Luo Yuwen, shirtless, looked at the increasingly crowded whiteboard in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
This matter cannot be that simple.
***
Two o'clock in the afternoon, Yan's.
Luo Yuwen walked into the same conference room with ease, and Jiang Shuiying was already sitting there, accompanied by her male secretary. With their backs to him, the two of them were chatting and laughing, completely unaware of the person standing at the door.
"Miss, you listened to me, this one will definitely suit you..."
Hearing this, Luo Yuwen immediately became suspicious - Miss? Wasn't she still calling him Madam a few days ago?
The male secretary was Yan Ming's man before, so it's understandable that he has a good relationship with Jiang Shuiying, but for some reason Luo Yuwen couldn't help but become suspicious.
Could it be that these two people...?
Luo Yuwen coughed twice softly and knocked on the door of the conference room to indicate that he was still standing at the door.
Jiang Shuiying looked over when she heard the voice, smiling brightly, "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming? Come in quickly."
Luo Yuwen pulled a chair and placed it directly between the two of them. At first, the male secretary didn't want to give way, but after Luo Yuwen gave him a look, he retreated angrily.
Jiang Shuiying smiled without saying a word, her eyes wandering between the two of them.
Luo Yuwen didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. He stared at the male secretary and said:
"When I asked you a few days ago, you hinted that Zhu Zhi was with Yan Ming voluntarily, but Zhu Zhi said otherwise."
"She said she was threatened. Why didn't you tell her at such a crucial moment that day? As Yan Ming's secretary, there's no way you didn't know about this."
"Can you explain?"
Luo Yuwen's blunt tone immediately wiped out the previous atmosphere, and the meeting room instantly became depressing. The male secretary was also a little overwhelmed by the sudden questioning.
Jiang Shuiying patted Luo Yuwen on the shoulder and jokingly said, "You scared my employee, Luo Yuwen, please speak properly."
But Luo Yuwen's tone was still stiff: "Ms. Jiang, I'm investigating the case. If you really want to know how your husband died, please cooperate."
Jiang Shuiying didn't get angry. She withdrew her hand and raised her chin towards the male secretary, signaling him to speak.
The male secretary bit his lip, looking quite aggrieved. "When we were not together at that time, Miss Zhu did refuse, but..."
"One day, Mr. Yan suddenly hinted to me and asked me to send something to Miss Zhu. Then I realized that they were together."
"As for how we got together, I actually don't know. What I said that day was also true. I didn't need to lie to you."
Luo Yuwen leaned back in his chair, analyzing the truth of this statement in his mind, his eyes still fixed on the male secretary, who felt a little uneasy under his stare.
"What about Qu Qing? How did she end up with Yan Ming?"
Jiang Shuiying supported her chin with one hand, looking like she was enjoying some gossip.
The male secretary looked at Jiang Shuiying and then at Luo Yuwen before speaking hesitantly, "When I first came in, President Yan didn't have to travel for a while, so he would often stop by a bookstore on his way home from get off work, saying he wanted to buy books."
"He doesn't allow anyone to follow him, so the driver and I wait in the car. He usually stays in there for half an hour."
"About two weeks ago, Mr. Yan hinted to me that he wanted me to give something to the bookstore owner. That's when I found out they were together."
Luo Yuwen raised his eyebrows. "You mean, Yan Ming hid it too well? So you didn't notice it?"
Hearing this, the male secretary's face was filled with panic, "No! That's not what I meant! Don't misinterpret me!"
"Is there anything else you haven't said?"
The male secretary shook his head like a rattle.
After Luo Yuwen recorded the information, he let the male secretary go. When the male secretary left the meeting room, he was tactful enough to close the door.
Jiang Shuiying watched the secretary rush out as if there was a monster in the meeting room, and laughed out loud.
"Luo Yuwen, why are you scaring him? Did he provoke you?"
Luo Yuwen lowered his head and took notes, his tone somewhat flat: "I'm just doing my job, Miss Jiang."
Miss Jiang?
This address made Jiang Shuiying's expression become very interesting. She stood up and sat on the table, and their positions became the same as when they first met here.
Jiang Shuiying was wearing a white shirt with the bottom of the shirt tucked into her black suit pants that reached her knees. Her beautiful figure was revealed under the tight folds of the clothes.
Luo Yuwen lowered his eyes, and the action of recording in his hand did not stop because of Jiang Shuiying, but the sound of Jiang Shuiying with the hook sounded in his ears again.
"Why are you so angry today, Mr. Detective? You were fine this morning, weren't you?"
"What's wrong with you?"
As soon as Jiang Shuiying finished speaking, Luo Yuwen stopped writing and looked up at the woman in front of him. "What do you think, Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Shuiying looked at the ceiling, her finger tapping her chin thoughtfully. "Let me guess, you're probably wondering why Yan Ming's secretary has such a good relationship with me, and why he listens to me so much? Right?"
Luo Yuwen felt like a young boy whose lies had been exposed, but on the surface everything remained the same. Only his averted eyes betrayed him.
Jiang Shuiying certainly didn't miss the shock in Luo Yuwen's eyes. She chuckled and tugged on Luo Yuwen's leather jacket, closing the distance between them. Jiang Shuiying's perfectly painted red lips softly moved in Luo Yuwen's ear, a sound only the two of them could hear.
"He knows too much about Yan Ming. When Yan Ming died, he was almost silenced by his brother. I saved him, so of course he will listen to me."
"You didn't misunderstand anything, did you?"
After saying that, Jiang Shuiying let go of Luo Yuwen and sat on the table, watching him tidy up his clothes leisurely.
The blush behind Luo Yuwen's ears began to spread to his cheeks, and his voice became a little unstable: "Why didn't you say it before!"
"You think I want to doubt you? Who made you look so strange..."
Jiang Shuiying jumped off the table and pinched Luo Yuwen's strong arm.
"People with hidden agendas see everyone as strange."
