the truth
"Miss Mu, please."
A good doctor's waiter, like Mr. Tanaka, is good at observing the patient's expression and serving coffee at the right time.
The slightly bitter aroma of top-quality coffee beans masked the smell of medicinal liquid and blood in the room.
"Oh, thank you."
Because of the intervention of a third person, Mu Qingyan's originally silent gaze changed instantly, like a glacier that had existed for thousands of years suddenly shattering and falling into Vasile's eyes. For some reason, he really saw a hint of ice blue flashing in the depths.
The change in the two auras was too obvious, so he could only accept it all, but the relaxed smile in his tone was gone.
"Yan, you are not doubting me, are you?"
"How is this possible? You wouldn't hurt someone in such an indecent way."
Mu Qingyan replied confidently, then took a sip of the coffee. The cooking technique was perfect. She nodded in appreciation at the waiter, but her expression seemed to have become even more embarrassment.
"It's just that, Dr. Guan, you may not understand the occupational diseases of people like us. Problems with the robot's logic module will cause potential conflicts. I can't help but want to ask more questions about things that don't make sense. Please don't mind!"
From various academic journals or public surgical observation videos, as well as the placement of books in the room, it is not difficult to see that Dr. Guan is right-handed.
When Sir Chen's knife stabbed at him just now, according to human instinct, it would have been reasonable to block it with his dominant hand, but he used his left hand.
——Is it because the right hand was injured originally, or is there another reason?
Mu Qingyan suddenly wanted to know how the other party would answer.
The look in her eyes when she looked over clearly revealed this inexplicable curiosity.
"Yan, have you always been so wary? I almost sacrificed my life to save you at a critical moment. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you're only thinking about how to trick me. It's really sad."
These words sounded like accusations and grievances, but they were completely different from the way they were used jokingly at the dinner party last night.
Mu Qingyan knew that the good doctor appeared steady and humble on the surface, but in reality he was very capable. But at this moment, his rejection of this question had almost materialized, and his eyes were filled with obscurity and desolation.
“Yan, do you really want to know the reason?”
Mu Qingyan is not a heartless person. On the contrary, because of her early experiences, she is very empathetic at certain moments. So when she saw the other person's expression, she guessed how much unspeakable pain there was, and naturally felt a little reluctant.
Besides, having already understood this point, with her ability, it wouldn't be difficult for her to investigate further, so she thought of changing the subject:
"The coffee is great. Dr. Guan, could you please introduce the person next to you? I'd like to learn a thing or two from him."
Such stiff and polite words were not really heard by the person on the other side. The matte cufflinks were unbuttoned, and the straight sleeves were rolled up, revealing the upper arms.
This series of actions is elegant and noble enough, and would be worthy of cheers in other occasions. Mu Qingyan suddenly remembered the scene where Kinsley occasionally rolled up his sleeves to drink water in the middle of the stage. It was simple but pleasing to the eye, and the fans could shout their throats out.
Of course, what doesn't quite match this pleasing sight is Vasile's upper arm skin covered with cuts and scars.
The arrangement is very neat, probably left over from the operation.
Mu Qingyan suddenly remembered the scene last night when she took off Kinsley's clothes while he was not paying attention and saw the other person.
She knew in her heart that the reason Kinsley's injuries had not yet healed was definitely because he had not received serious treatment since he learned of her disappearance. Tanaka couldn't persuade him, and York and Dustin were even less likely to do so.
But the professionalism of the man in front of him would not allow him to do so, so Mu Qingyan could not imagine how badly the doctor's arm had been injured and how many operations he had undergone to leave so many scars that could not be removed with current technology.
"Dr. Guan, I'm so sorry."
She was the one who started the incident, so the apology was sincere.
Fortunately, she knew that the professional skills of good doctors were not affected at all and they could still complete the operation with more precise angles and strength than AI and robots, which slightly reduced her guilt.
"I accept Yan's apology. Come to think of it, this is the only interesting experience I've had recently. But, Yan, since we've come to this, why don't you agree to one thing in exchange for me?"
Mu Qingyan has experienced too much. Most of the things that others would find stimulating would be diluted by her rich life experience and become calm. The same should be true for Vasile Guan.
So she knew in her heart that anyone who thought her apology was funny was just adding weight to achieve his own goals.
She didn't mind reciprocity, and considering the upbringing of this famous doctor, she naturally knew the limits.
Mu Qingyan straightened her clothes and made a "please" gesture.
"Yan, don't be so serious. You can definitely do this."
Vasile Guan changed his low mood and regained his elegance and composure. The waiter came over and adjusted his cufflinks before he continued:
"I just hope Yan, you can really treat me as a true friend. Like I said last night, why don't you start by changing the name?"
Mu Qingyan raised an eyebrow in surprise. She really didn't expect such a request, but she nodded and changed her words:
“Vasile, Ich fühle mich geehrt, dein Freund zu sein (German: It’s an honor to be your friend).”
The good doctor was visibly stunned for a second before responding:
“Ich auch (German: Me too).”
…
After a brief chat, Mu Qingyan wanted to return to the venue to help Shen Chuxuan maintain order at the trade fair, but when she reached the first floor, she remembered that the hotel was still under lockdown.
Just when more and more employees, customers and ordinary people were about to surround the hotel out of curiosity, Jack suddenly came down with a group of people. Mu Qingyan recognized that some of them had been following Kinsley, and some were plainclothes officers brought by Sir Chen.
However, I didn’t expect that after some negotiations, the blockade was lifted and the flow of people was directly restored.
"Yan, the vice president asked me to call you over."
Mu Qingyan observed Jack's expression and suddenly realized.
"Has the murderer been found?"
——The speed is not slow.
"You already guessed who it was, didn't you?"
"No, I just saw the Ye family's lawyer arrive. He's a bit too punctual."
Jack was instantly shocked.
It was even more surprising than just learning upstairs that the person who injured Mr. Shen was the Ye family's dandy second young master.
According to the forensic examination, the accident occurred at 4 a.m., and according to the hotel room service staff, Chen You asked to deliver a new batch of drinks at 3 a.m. At that time, the room had obviously just been ransacked by a group of people, and only Chen You, his assistant and bodyguard were left.
The service staff heard that the assistant had been persuading Mr. Shen to take a rest but was scolded by Mr. Shen, and it seemed that he had also made an appointment with the next group of people.
Sir Chen initially checked everyone who was close to Shen You but did not suspect Ye Ningyu, because Ye Ningyu received a call from Shen You at around 11 o'clock last night. Jack knew that it should have been after he and the vice president were blocked by Ye Ningyu, and the other party was so drunk that he could not hurt anyone.
It was also because of his testimony and Ye Ningyu's arm injury that Sir Chen relaxed his vigilance and began to focus on who Shen You was waiting for and who had the ability to injure two people in succession without alerting Jacob.
At such a critical moment, Ye Ningyu very casually mentioned a sentence that Chen You said casually, and the wind direction changed temporarily.
He said—
It seems that Chen You wanted to discuss something with Tanaka about his adoptive father.
After Miss Mu was attacked and bitten just now and now it was Mr. Tanaka's turn, Jack could find that their young master was obviously much calmer, although that smile looked like he was laughing out of anger.
Vice President Shen was the first to raise an objection, and personally proved to Sir Chen that Mr. Tanaka had been with her the entire time. However, after Sir Chen's continued questioning, she could only admit that she was still fast asleep at 4 a.m. In addition, Jacob was obviously in a panic, but seemed to always ambiguously confirm the fact that Mr. Tanaka had appeared at 4 a.m., which made it impossible for her to argue.
Not to mention, Mr. Tanaka does have the ability to commit the crime, and I'm afraid even 100 Jacobs would not be his match.
Mu Qingyan couldn't help but sneer after hearing this:
"Mr. Tanaka, if he wants to kill Shen You, does he need a weapon?"
Jack nodded. Mr. Tanaka did not make any excuses just now. Before anyone could react, he moved from a few steps in front of Ye Ningyu to behind him in an instant.
The room was completely silent. Jack could still remember the looks given to Mr. Tanaka. Without exception, they were all filled with fear.
After Sir Chen picked up a handful of severed hair from the frozen Ye Ningyu's feet, everyone gasped and came to their senses. Then, it was -
Ye Ningyu covered his bloody neck and screamed like a slaughtered pig.
Sir Chen waved his hand, and several plainclothes officers came over and searched Mr. Tanaka's body.
——No tools.
No one knows what he used to scratch Ye Ningyu's neck.
He was just proving that the appearance of the knife was unnecessary for him.
Jack understood this, and so did Chen Sir. However, Chen Sir still emphasized one thing:
Sometimes it is necessary to go the extra mile, and one of the purposes is to...
Put the blame on others.
The knife was handed over to the identification team for detailed examination.
But this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially nowadays when the upper class attaches great importance to family and personal privacy. Even auctions use blind bidding, and the source of the goods and the buyer cannot be traced at all.
Just when the investigation came to a standstill, Mr. Tanaka's cell phone suddenly vibrated wildly.
What followed was a scene where their young master, who was always believed to be making a living in the entertainment industry, switched between countless languages and kept answering the phone.
Jack believed that he was quite capable, as he was able to enter Shen Corporation and become Vice President Shen's assistant. However, the young master obviously knew all six official languages of the United Nations, and he had never even heard the pronunciation of the words the young master knew.
With the help of the police identification team, all the information the young master obtained was displayed clearly on the holographic screen in the room, all of which were related to the auction of various antique knives.
The search scope continued to narrow, but just before the final result came out, Sir Chen suddenly stopped it.
When Jack was almost suspecting that Sir Chen was harboring someone, the other party directly handcuffed Ye Ningyu.
