A Husband and Wife Work Together to Save People (Part 1)
The person on the bed lazily opened his eyes, stretched his limbs comfortably, looked at the ceiling for a while, turned over and prepared to sleep for a while. He wanted to pull the quilt up a little closer to his chest, but he suddenly felt a hand, and he was so startled that all sleepiness disappeared immediately!
That hand grasped her soft flesh and squeezed it a few times... A murderous urge rushed straight into her head!
Yue Lanxiu was still in a sweet dream when his body was thrown out. With a loud bang, he fell to the ground along with the screen.
A pain came over him, and when Yue Lanxiu saw Chao Rirou with sparks flying around with his sleepy eyes, he woke up instantly.
He had no intention of accusing or blaming anyone, because he had already prepared himself mentally. He had expected that he would either be kicked awake or fall awake, and in any case, he would be beaten.
It's his fault for taking advantage of others, even though it wasn't his intention.
Actually, it was okay. He thought he would be thrown out of the window... but the reality was not as brutal as he expected.
"Are you okay? I'm such a big person, and it must have taken a lot of effort for you to throw me out. It must have been very tiring. Are you really okay? Please check carefully." He rubbed his painful back and became concerned about her.
Zhao Rirou snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me why you are sleeping next to me? You don't think we are really getting married..."
Yue Lanxiu quickly interrupted, not wanting to hear what she was going to say next. He knew full well their marriage was a sham, but did she know that every time she mentioned it, he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his stomach. "You seemed to have a nightmare last night, talking non-stop in your sleep. I was so worried about you, I couldn't help but come over to check on you. I didn't want you to hold my hand so tightly, refusing to let go no matter how hard I tried to break free! I didn't wake you because I didn't want to disturb your rest! And then, somehow, I fell asleep too! I swear, I had no intention of taking advantage of you."
Seeing how sincere he was, and that he didn't seem to be lying, and there was no need to lie, she decided not to bother with him for now!
She absolutely denied that she had softened because of his tired look!
She absolutely believed what was said about her having nightmares. She didn't know if it was because she was pregnant and her body became weak, so she had nightmares all the time, or if it was some bad omen, because she kept dreaming about her master Yan Mingchi recently! She had a bad premonition that they would meet again soon.
During breakfast, the butler Uncle Zhong kept winking at Yue Lanxiu. There was a saury next to Chao Rirou, and Uncle Zhong signaled Yue Lanxiu to remove the fish bones for Chao Rirou.
Yue Lanxiu just looked at him in confusion.
When the juice was served, Uncle Zhong started winking at him again, signaling him to pour it for Asahirou.
But Yue Lanxiu frowned and did nothing, obviously not understanding what he meant.
"Uncle Zhong, do you have any problem with your eyes?" Yue Lanxiu couldn't help asking after drinking a sip of soy milk.
Uncle Zhong rolled his eyes and said angrily, "The problem is your brain, it's so stupid!" If he continues to be stupid like this, is he going to sleep on the sofa for the rest of his life? Don't think he doesn't know that they didn't sleep together! Don't think he can't see through it. They had a fake marriage in order to get the master and the mistress back! But they really didn't have any interest in it at all?
He, who has seen countless men, would never agree! If a woman doesn't like a man, she would never marry him, even if she were beaten to death, and she would be pregnant with his child! If a man doesn't like a woman, he won't be so cautious for fear of making her unhappy!
But one of them is arrogant and the other is just not very good at love! Alas, he has no choice but to give them a push from the side!
After dinner, Yue Lanxiu drove to Yue Lanhui's villa again. Just as he started the car, the back seat door suddenly opened and Chao Rirou sat in.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Yue Lanxiu asked softly.
"Are you going to investigate the case? I'll go with you." She wasn't asking, she was stating.
"I think you should rest at home. As for the case..." Staring at her eyes, Yue Lanxiu felt that it was pointless to say more. When had he ever been able to change her decision with just a few words?
"I want to do my part in the case!" Zhao Rirou said this from the heart. Unconsciously, she had developed a family-like affection for Xia Tianhan and his wife. She really didn't want to see anything happen to them! The most urgent task was to rescue them as soon as possible!
She and Yue Lanxiu's grudge should be put aside for now. They should work together to save people!
Yue Lanxiu understood her thoughts. Instead of worrying at home, he might as well do something!
On the way, he told her all the information about the case that he had learned from Xia Tianhan.
"In that case, the kidnapper is most likely the real murderer!" Asahirou analyzed.
"Even if he is not the real murderer, he has a close relationship with the real murderer." Yue Lanxiu deduced.
"Do you have any idea who the real murderer is?"
"No."
"What about the suspect?"
“Yes.” Always.
Asahirou didn't rush to ask who he was because she knew he wouldn't casually say anything he was unsure about.
While they were talking, they had already arrived at Yue Lanhui's villa community.
Zhao Rirou looked out the window and asked, "There are dozens of villas here. Are they all full of people?"
"No, about half." This is what he learned last night.
"There are quite a few people there. Maybe someone saw something on the night Mom was kidnapped." Asarirou thought.
"So this is one of the things I have to do today." After arriving at the destination, Yue Lanxiu parked the car and unbuckled his seat belt. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned back with a worried look. "If you feel tired, you can rest in the car, or..."
"I'm not that fragile, and the one in my belly should be the same. Your child and I shouldn't be that fragile." Chao Rirou said casually while opening the car door and getting out.
Her next words stirred ripples in his heart...
He hadn't smiled in the past few days, but a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Your child and I, why do these words make me feel so warm and sweet?
"Did you find any clues when you came here last night?" Chao Rirou asked as the two walked into the villa courtyard.
"The kidnappers should have come in from the east gate of the community in the middle of the night, kidnapped the person here, and then returned to leave from the east gate." Although Yue Lanxiu said this, he still had reservations in his heart.
"Why?"
"Because the surveillance cameras all the way from here to the east gate were broken. Not only that, but the surveillance cameras near the east gate were also broken! He kept destroying the surveillance cameras until his car blended in with the crowd, making it difficult for us to find him."
"Where's the community security? Didn't he notice anything was wrong at the time?"
"The security guards at the east gate all said nothing. Their statements were strangely consistent. I think they might know something, but they're afraid of being held accountable, so they've agreed to just keep quiet."
"Did anyone call the police after discovering the surveillance camera had been compromised? Did the police here launch an investigation? Did they uncover anything?"
Yue Lanxiu was secretly surprised. She looked like a very experienced criminal detective with clear thinking. "I called the police the next day, but no one in the community reported being persecuted, so the local police didn't take it too seriously."
"I think the kidnapper is very familiar with this neighborhood. At least before planning the kidnapping, he made some understanding of this place and knew where there were cameras! We can check the previous surveillance footage and maybe find any suspicious people." Asahirou analyzed.
"Rong Xuan is investigating the surveillance footage from the past two weeks, but so far no suspicious individuals have been found." Yue Lanxiu looked at her, his gaze fixed on her face, unable to move away. It was strange. He hadn't thought she was that beautiful before, but now she seemed even prettier. Why was it that?
"Why are you only investigating the past two weeks?" Asahiro looked at him in confusion.
Yue Lanxiu smiled gently, "Because the surveillance video is only kept for two weeks, and my parents have only lived here for two weeks. It's impossible that the kidnappers planned to kidnap them from here before they moved in!" After he finished speaking, his brows suddenly frowned, and a thought flashed through his mind, but it was too fast for him to capture it.
Her eyes met his, but Asahiro quickly looked away, so she didn't pay much attention to his expression. She asked again, "Any other clues? Did you find any clues in the villa?"
"No." Yue Lanxiu shook his head regretfully.
"The kidnappers must have cleaned up the scene." Asahirou said with certainty.
"Whenever the kidnappers come, they will definitely leave traces. It just depends on whether they can be discovered." So he came again.
Asahirou agreed with his point of view.
Then the two of them went their separate ways and searched the villa inside and out.
"Have you found anything?" Chao Rirou walked towards Yue Lanxiu who was standing in the courtyard with nothing to show for it. He seemed to have something in his hand that he was looking at.
"Is it yours?" Yue Lanxiu opened his palm towards her. There was a small diamond, the same one as the one on the scarf around her neck.
She took the diamond and looked at it carefully. "Oh, it should be." There was indeed a pattern of diamonds on her scarf. She did not take off the scarf to check it immediately, but put the diamond in her pocket.
"Let's go and ask the neighbors nearby if they have seen or heard anything unusual recently." Yue Lanxiu stretched out his long legs and walked towards the door.
Asahirou hurriedly followed, now they dared not delay even a minute.
Fortunately, it was the weekend and most people were at home. Unfortunately, they asked several households and they all said they had neither seen nor heard anything.
"The people here give people a very cold feeling. They seem to have no connection with each other. Moreover, they are all young and beautiful women living alone. They all behave in a shameful way and cannot show themselves in public." Chao Rirou said as she walked to the door of the next target, obviously she understood something.
"It is understood that this is actually a place where big bosses keep mistresses and have affairs." Yue Lanxiu pressed the doorbell, remembering what a gossipy security guard said.
"Oh?" Chao Rirou sneered, "So, your uncle also keeps a mistress here!"
Yue Lanxiu cleared his throat and said, "I think he might be an exception. If this is where his mistress lives, wouldn't it be strange for him to put his parents here? He obviously has many villas!"
Zhao Rirou snorted indifferently, "Who knows! It's strange for you men to only have one woman in your life!"
Yue Lanxiu touched his nose and wisely stopped talking.
"Why aren't you talking? Do you agree?" Zhao Rirou glanced at him coldly.
Damn it! Are the people inside going to come out and open the door? Come out and open the door! Yue Lanxiu cursed inwardly, while responding cautiously, "If my uncle really has a mistress, he deserves death! He's still having affairs after marriage, and I absolutely don't approve of that!" Either never get married, or if you choose to get married, you must be loyal to the end! This is his principle of marriage!
"Don't worry, I don't want any other woman except you!" His eyes and tone suddenly became serious, and the thoughts that had arisen in his heart at some point were spoken out casually.
Zhao Rirou turned away, because looking him in the eye only made her heart beat faster. But she couldn't help but glance at him, trying to read his eyes to see if he was just bluffing or if he was sincere. But when she saw the deep affection that inadvertently flashed in his eyes, she was at a loss again. Strange! Why would she react like this? She didn't like him!
Finally someone came out and resolved the awkwardness between the two.
That person was also a young and beautiful woman, dressed in the same fashionable way, with the same cold tone, "Who are you? I don't know you!"
"Sorry to bother you, we are police officers. We have something to ask you. Is it convenient for you?" Yue Lanxiu got a fake police ID from somewhere and showed it.
The woman's gaze lingered on Yue Lanxiu's face for a long time before she smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, come in."
Zhao Rirou, who was walking behind Yue Lanxiu, suddenly said, "I don't know if they let us in because they saw the police ID or because they saw your stunning beauty!" These women were all the same. When they saw Yue Lanxiu, their eyes lit up like dogs seeing braised pork, and they were almost drooling!
Humph! I can't describe how I feel, I just hate it. I hate that he's so "flashy"!
"Anyway, I'm going to investigate a case!" Yue Lanxiu answered cautiously after hearing her sarcastic tone.
"The surveillance system in the residential complex was recently damaged. Are you here to investigate this?" They followed the woman and sat in the courtyard. Before Yue Lanxiu could speak, the woman asked first.
"That's true. I wonder how much you know about this matter?" Yue Lanxiu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I just heard that on the night of the 17th, around midnight, several suspicious outsiders appeared in the community!"
"Oh? What's suspicious about it?" Yue Lanxiu's smile became more serious.
Zhao Rirou's eyes lit up. Wasn't the night of the 17th the night Yue Lanhuan disappeared?
"He's sneaking around in the middle of the night, and he's not from this neighborhood. Isn't that suspicious?"
"Excuse me, did anyone see it with their own eyes?"
"That should be the case, but I don't know who saw it with their own eyes. I only heard it from someone. By the way, Mr. Policeman, did something terrible happen in the neighborhood?"
Yue Lanxiu said tactfully, "Don't worry too much. Remember to lock the doors and windows when you are alone at home. Don't open the door to anyone easily. Call the police immediately if there is any abnormal situation..." The fact that his mother was kidnapped has not been made public for the time being, and the police are also keeping it secret. In addition to Rong Xuan and several of his reliable subordinates, he still needs their help.
"Can I let you know if anything happens?" The woman suddenly put her elbows on the table, the backs of her hands against her chin, and stared at him without blinking. Her movements, her eyes, her tone were all filled with seduction.
Yue Lanxiu touched his nose, glanced at Zhao Rirou's expressionless profile, and said, "Uh, she's my boss. If there's anything, just inform her and she'll make the arrangements!"
He veiledly confessed his feelings to Asahiro that he only listened to her!
"If you are scared, find the man who gave you the diamond ring to accompany you!" Chao Rirou said, looking at the diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg on the woman's finger.
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left without looking back.
This woman probably can't come up with any useful information.
"Thank you for the information. Sorry to bother you!" Yue Lanxiu hurried to catch up, not wanting to upset Chao Rirou. Even though he knew deep down that she didn't care about him at all!
They then questioned several households before finding out who had seen the suspicious person on the night of the 17th. That person was a middle-aged woman named Xu Yun.
They went to look for her twice but she wasn't home. When they went the third time, she just happened to come back from outside.
"Come in." She gave people a very cold feeling, whether it was her tone of voice or her eyes, she was very cold. Although she was old, she looked much younger than her peers, and it was obvious that she was a beauty in her youth.
Yue Lanxiu followed behind her, looking her up and down.
"You guys sit down for a while, I'll go change my clothes."
"Okay." Yue Lanxiu and Zhao Rirou sat down on the sofa.
Yue Lanxiu's gaze remained fixed on the woman. She was holding a pharmacy bag, the label on it proclaiming it to be a pharmacy. His sharp eyes even caught the label on the medicine bottle inside. What caught his attention most was the silk scarf around her neck, the same one Nell wore, glittering with diamonds.
"What's so good about it? Tell me about it!" Asahirou's sinister question came from beside her ear.
"Didn't you see? This woman must be a martial artist. Her posture and steps are obviously different from those of ordinary people. There are many calluses on the back of her hands, which are obviously left by years of training with sandbags! Today, she wore the same silk scarf as you and went to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of anti-allergic medicine!" Yue Lanxiu stopped talking when he saw the woman coming down from upstairs.
The woman changed into home clothes and came out, "I feel a little uncomfortable and want to rest. If you have anything to ask, please do it quickly." The implication was that they should leave as soon as possible.
Yue Lanxiu said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to bother you at this time, but I heard that you saw several men behaving suspiciously in this neighborhood on the night of the 17th. I'd like to hear your detailed description of the situation; it's very important to us!"
"That night, I partied with my friends until late at night before returning home. I did see a few men acting suspiciously near my home. They didn't look like people from the community. I was very worried, so I immediately contacted the security guards, who arrived quickly. But somehow, we searched everywhere but never saw those men again. Later, the security guards suspected that I had drunk too much and had seen them wrongly. I couldn't be sure at the time, so the matter was left unresolved. I didn't expect that something bad would happen. We should have persisted or called the police!" the woman regretted.
Yue Lanxiu looked at the woman who had a regretful expression but still had a cold look in her eyes and asked, "Did you see their faces?"
Xu Yun shook her head. "No. I was a little scared at the time, so I didn't dare to follow until the security arrived. Maybe I should have followed, and maybe no one would have been hurt!"
Yue Lanxiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharper.
Xu Yun didn't like that penetrating gaze. When Yue Lanxiu was about to say something, she ordered him to leave. "Sorry, I need to rest."
Asahirou suddenly said, "Before I leave, I'd like to go to the bathroom, is that okay?"
"Sure." Xu Yun pointed in the direction of the bathroom inside.
"Thank you." Asahiro stood up and walked away.
In this way, Yue Lanxiu could ask the question he wanted to ask just now.
"Are you familiar with the person who was hurt?" Yue Lanxiu asked with a smile.
"Not familiar." Xu Yun said without thinking.
"No chat? Have you heard her say whether she has offended anyone recently?" Yue Lanxiu asked the question seemingly casually, and no one could see the calculation in his eyes.
"That lady must have just moved in. She rarely goes out. How am I supposed to chat with her?"
"Oh!" The smile on Yue Lanxiu's lips slowly spread.
Xu Yun reached out and lifted the long hair by her ear, but Yue Lanxiu's smile paused because of her action.
"Can I see your hand?" he asked, with a kind and gentle smile on his face and in his eyes. That smile could easily confuse any woman, and it was difficult for women to say no to him!
Xu Yun was stunned, not knowing when she had extended her hand.
When Chao Rirou came out of the bathroom, she unexpectedly saw Yue Lanzheng holding Xu Yun's hand. Surprised, she heard him grinning at Xu Yun and said, "Look at the calluses on your hands. Were you a basketball player?"
"Yeah." Xu Yun replied perfunctorily and quickly pulled her hand back. Her intuition told her that this person was really difficult to deal with, and it was safest to stay away from him!
Xu Yun glanced at Zhao Rirou who came out, and said in a cold voice, "Goodbye, both of you. I won't see you off." After saying that, she stood up and walked upstairs.
Chao Rirou and Yue Lanxiu walked out of the villa gate and walked slowly in the courtyard.
Asahirou looked at him with a thoughtful expression and asked, "Why are you talking about basketball? What does it have to do with the case?" She did not ignore that after Xu Yun answered the last question, Yue Lanxiu's eyes suddenly became extremely stern. Although it was only for a moment, she was sure that she was not mistaken.
"I accidentally saw a few calluses on the palms of her hands. They were definitely not left by playing basketball, but she didn't refute it! If I'm not mistaken, they should be left by years of shooting practice! I used to have a teacher who was good at using sniper rifles, and he had exactly the same calluses on the palms of his hands." He frowned and said, the frown getting tighter and tighter.
"Sniper rifle? That's not something ordinary people can get their hands on." Asahirou suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks.
Yue Lanxiu also stopped and turned to look at her, meeting her gaze. They saw in each other's eyes that they were thinking of the same thing - the person who killed Mu Sanlang with a sniper rifle!
"Could it be such a coincidence?" Asahiro couldn't believe it.
"This is just the inevitable result of the development of things." Yue Lanxiu always believed that they would meet that person again.
"Actually, I also think that woman is a bit suspicious." Asahiro thought about what she saw when she passed by the kitchen after going to the bathroom.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Asahirou walked over and said, "I saw the food she's going to eat today in her kitchen. It's mostly seafood!"
Yue Lanxiu suddenly understood what she was going to say.
"Didn't you see that she bought allergy medicine? If she's allergic, she shouldn't eat seafood!" Chao Rirou thought, unless Yue Lanxiu was mistaken, she didn't buy allergy medicine.
"Maybe she made it for someone else to eat?"
"But, even if she's cooking for others, she should eat something herself, right? But I see all the ingredients she prepared are only for one person."
"Maybe she's losing weight? Maybe the medicine was bought for someone else?"
"Then just pretend I never said anything." Asahiro said unhappily.
"I'm just proposing multiple possibilities, not denying the possibility you raised. You've given me such a valuable clue, how could I pretend I didn't say it?" His voice and eyes, when facing her, always couldn't help but release tenderness. This tenderness was not purposeful, but the most genuine reaction from the bottom of his heart.
After he finished speaking, his eyes were drawn to a tree.
Asahirou noticed him staring at a tree and couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with this magnolia tree?"
"No." Yue Lanxiu looked around and noticed several magnolia trees in the courtyard, all in full bloom. He'd only smelled the flowers when he entered, not paying attention to what they were. They were magnolias! "I just suddenly remembered Mom. She's allergic to the scent of magnolias." As he said the last part, a fleeting glance crossed his narrowed eyes.
"Really?" Zhao Rirou is not Chanel, so this is the first time she heard that Yue Lanhuan is allergic to this flower.
Zhao Rirou knew that he was very worried about Yue Lanhuan and was not as calm as he appeared, so at this moment she wanted to stay by his side, hoping to help him!
"Let's go." Her voice was unexpectedly gentle, which made him stunned.
Following her footsteps, he suddenly felt how nice it was to have her by his side.
They walked from Xu Yun's villa back to Yue Lanhui's villa. During the walk, Yue Lanxiu walked around, as if he was studying something! Zhao Rirou didn't ask, for fear of disturbing him.
When returning to Yue Lanhui's villa, Yue Lanxiu received a call.
Asarirou heard Yue Lanxiu say an address, probably because he had made an appointment to meet the person on the phone at that address.
It turned out that the person on the phone was Xu Rongxuan. When she and Yue Lanxiu arrived at a small restaurant, he was already waiting inside.
Only then did Asahiro realize that it was dark and time for dinner.
When you want time to go slower, time starts running faster.
Yue Lanxiu quickly ordered a few dishes. When the dishes were served on the table, Chao Rirou was surprised to find that they were all her favorites. She glanced at the man next to her. Did he know her preferences, or was it just a coincidence?
He was currently discussing the case with Xu Rongxuan, who was sitting opposite him, and they were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't even have time to eat.
"From last night until now, we have checked all the surveillance cameras available in the community, not only on the day of the incident, but also before that, but we still haven't found any suspicious people." Xu Rongxuan exchanged information with Yue Lanxiu.
"That's a bit strange. A woman named Xu Yun said that around midnight on the 17th, she spotted several suspicious people near her home and searched for them with several security guards."
Xu Rongxuan continued, "You asked me to question the security guards, and I've already questioned them all. I've confirmed that the woman wasn't lying! The surveillance footage also proves she wasn't lying. We saw footage of her searching with the security guards, but they didn't see the suspicious person she mentioned."
Yue Lanxiu's face remained pensive. "Do you remember the security guards' description of that night? Can you tell me again? Or is there anything special about it?"
"The security guards said they were about to go on patrol when Xu Yun stopped them..." Xu Rongxuan roughly recounted the entire process of the interrogation. "If there's anything special, it's that one security guard mentioned that Xu Yun was unusually talkative, contrary to her usual aloofness. However, the security guard also suggested that it might have been due to alcohol, as Xu Yun later said she might have been drunk and misjudged him."
"She was about to go on patrol when she happened to be called away, and her attitude is out of character, isn't it?" Yue Lanxiu always felt that there was something fishy about that woman, but he wasn't sure if it was related to the incident he was investigating. "Where did they search?"
"The rear area of her residence was searched because she saw suspicious people going in that direction."
"If you see a suspicious person at your doorstep, it's reasonable to call the security guard to search for your own safety. But are you sure he's only behind your residence? He hasn't gone anywhere else?" Yue Lanxiu asked solemnly.
"The security and surveillance footage can confirm this. Furthermore, the surveillance footage also confirmed she never left home after returning." Xu Rongxuan heard the hidden meaning in his words. "What do you think is wrong? Do you think there's something wrong with this woman?"
"There are too many unreasonable things about that woman. I originally thought that she might not be related to the kidnapping case, but after what you said just now, I still can't help but doubt her." The expression on Yue Lanxiu's face was affirmative.
"Oh?" Xu Rongxuan waited for his next words.
"She once said something that really concerned me. She said that if she had persisted in searching, perhaps no one would have been hurt! I asked her what her relationship was with the person who was hurt, and she replied that the woman had just moved in, so she didn't know her well!"
"That's really suspicious! We told the neighborhood residents we were only here to investigate the surveillance camera incident and never mentioned who was kidnapped or persecuted, yet she accurately stated that a woman was harmed!" In reality, only a few of them knew about Yue Lanhuan's kidnapping. Of course, there was also a kidnapper!
"Originally, I thought she might have seen something, but she didn't want to say more for self-protection. However, you told me that she only walked around the back of her house that night and then went home, and never left the house again! I am very puzzled. How did she know that someone was hurt, and it was a woman! Her residence is not far from Yue Lanhui's, there are only two villas in between, but no matter where she stands in her residence, she can't see what is happening in Yue Lanhui's villa!" Yue Lanxiu said puzzledly.
"Maybe she sneaked out and just deliberately avoided the surveillance!" Asahirou suddenly raised this opinion, and the two men immediately shook their heads at her.
Yue Lanxiu said confidently, "I've noticed that no matter which route she takes from her home to Yue Lanhui's, she'll be caught on camera!"
"According to the surveillance footage, she didn't go near Yue Lanhui's villa. Even if she left, she took a different road." Xu Rongxuan frowned in confusion. "Although what she said is suspicious, there's really no substantial evidence to conclude that she's the kidnapper, or is connected to the kidnappers!"
Xu Rongxuan suddenly glanced at Chao Rirou, because he found that Chao Rirou's eyes were always on Yue Lanxiu's face. Her eyes seemed to be attracted, which made people feel that she did not have no feelings between men and women for him as Yue Lanxiu said.
Noticing Xu Rongxuan's probing gaze, Chao Rirou immediately withdrew her gaze from Yue Lanxiu's face. Suddenly, she realized that she had been immersed in his serious expression.
"Since you think there's something wrong with her, check her background and her recent movements." Asahiro cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Yue Lanxiu turned to look at her, and seeing that she had put down her bowl and chopsticks, he asked again, "Have you finished eating? Are you full?"
Xu Rongxuan got goosebumps. How could this guy's voice be so gentle? And that look in his eyes, it was like he was looking at his beloved!
This guy said before that he only had brotherly and sisterly feelings and feelings of guilt towards Neil... but no love between men and women. It seems that he was lying!
Asahiro nodded and stopped looking at him. She couldn't help feeling a little hot under his stare, so she reached out and took off the silk scarf from her neck.
Yue Lanxiu was stunned by the white and tender neck that came into his sight, and forgot to look away for a moment.
Xu Rongxuan suddenly put a dish in his bowl and said mischievously, "Eat the duck neck!"
Seeing the amusement in his eyes, Yue Lanxiu glared at him.
Asahirou didn't have time to pay attention to them. She stared at the scarf in her hand. She discovered something and her expression showed a hint of surprise as she thought about it.
At this time, Xu Rongxuan's cell phone rang. After answering the call, his brows were tightly knitted.
After he hung up the phone, Yue Lanxiu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" He had a bad feeling.
"My subordinate called. I asked him to give Xia Tianhan a new confession, but he just reported that Xia Tianhan didn't change his confession and still claimed to be the murderer!"
"What's going on?!" Yue Lanxiu's expression became as shocked as Xu Rongxuan's.
"Could it be that he knows Mom hasn't been found yet?" Yue Lanxiu thought about it and this was the only possibility! But how did he know? Who leaked it? What was his intention? It definitely couldn't be good!
"Only Naier, you, me and a few of my subordinates know about this matter. Could there be anyone else?" Xu Rongxuan was sure that his men would not betray them. Those people were not just his men, but also brothers who had been through thick and thin together!
Yue Lanxiu thought of someone, but he felt that it couldn't be him. He had no reason to do this!
"I found an incredible clue!" Asarirou spoke when they were at a loss for words.
"Look!" Asahiro spread out her silk scarf and placed it on the table together with a diamond.
"Isn't this the diamond you dropped?" Yue Lanxiu suddenly trailed off, because he noticed that there was no diamond on Zhao Rirou's scarf. Fearing he'd missed it, he picked it up and examined it again, but the result was the same! This meant...
"This diamond is the same as the one on your scarf, but it's not the one on your scarf!" Xu Rongxuan had a keen eye and saw the key in just a few seconds. "But what does this mean?"
Zhao Rirou picked up the diamond on the table and explained to him, "This diamond was found in the bathroom of Yue Lanhui's villa. At the time, I thought it was dropped by me, but now it seems that it must have been dropped by someone else. As for who that person was, it must be someone who has the same silk scarf as me! Xu Yun just happened to have one!"
Xu Rongxuan slapped the table lightly and said, "How can there be so many coincidences? There must be something wrong with this woman! But she wouldn't be stupid enough to hand over the scarf, or she would say it was left behind during a previous visit!"
"The most urgent thing is not to alert the enemy, but to investigate her background first! Leave it to me!" Asarirou took on the task, wanting to share some of the work with him.
