se makeup' look, the kind that ages well. You can't tell just by looking at him..."Chen Xiaobo's mind involuntarily flashed a picture of a woman with an oval face, giving off a gentle yet resilient im..."Hey, Chen Team, where are you going"

Chen Xiaobo picked up his phone and called Xiao Xu.

"Xiao Xu, what did Wang Yue's supervisor say about her sending a text message to ask for leave in the early morning"

Xiao Xu's voice came from his phone.

“Oh, Wang Yue’s boss said that Wang Yue had a spoiled temper and took leave whenever she wanted. This was common, although this time it was late at night and she took seven days off all at once, which was a bit different from usual. However, Wang Yue sent a message saying she was going abroad for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she didn't care much. Until the 30th, when she didn't come to work, she called Wang Yue, but couldn't get through. She then contacted Wang Yue’s family and only then did she learn that Wang Yue had actually been murdered.”

“I compared the send time of that WeChat message to the autopsy report's time of death, and they are very close. This means that it is very possible that Wang Yue was murdered around 1:30 AM on the 22nd. Please notify everyone to focus on reviewing all the surveillance footage from the building complex between 10 PM on the 21st and 1:30 AM on the 22nd.”

Xiao Xu excitedly answered on the phone.

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaobo rushed straight to Wang Yue's house.

If it were a crime committed by an acquaintance and the rope used to bind the victim was taken from the scene.

Then there must still be clues on the scene that they haven't discovered.

For example—

The murder weapon was never found.

Chen Xiaobo received a picture sent by Director Li as soon as he arrived at Wang Yue's doorstep.

It's a mold in the shape of a fruit knife.

"Captain Chen, this is a model of the weapon based on the wound mold. It should be an ordinary fruit knife."

After Chen Xiaobo replied to Director Li's message, he entered Wang Yue's house.

Upon entering Wang Yue's home, a large expanse of bloodstains had already dried.

Wang Yue's home was clean and tidy, without a trace of mess.

And the surveillance cameras at Wang Yue's front door were also inexplicably damaged.

There were no signs of damage to the doors and windows.

The murderer left no trace at the scene.

Not even half a fingerprint was found.

All of this points to this being a premeditated, inside job.

But who on earth has such a deep grudge against Wang Yue

Chen Xiaobo felt that things were really difficult.

Firstly, Wang Yue has a bad temper and can be indiscriminate in his attacks on those around him at work.

Secondly, there are only three people whose relationship with Wang Yue is particularly special.

Jiang Yunbai, Gu Yan, Zhong Xiaomei.

Jiang Yunbai was a victim of bullying many years ago.

Gu Yan is her boyfriend.

Zhong Xiaomei is Wang Yue's stepmother.

Each of them has different characteristics, and just confirming one can roughly pinpoint the culprit.

But their motives for murder were insufficient.

Even if it's blurry.

Just when Chen Xiaobo was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a drawer.

There is a full set of knives inside.

Chen Xiaobo took out his cell phone, put on a pair of gloves, and drew out a fruit knife from it. He carefully compared it with the photo.

This fruit knife is very new.

The kitchen was spotless.

This can be seen that Wang Yue is not someone who cooks often.

The knife is also very clean.

Chen Xiaobo intuitively felt that the meticulous and calm nature of the murderer couldn't have left behind evidence like bloodstains.

But just in case, I'll still bring it back to get tested.

The sea—

The sea wind was blowing fiercely.

Gu Yan raised his hand to brush the messy hair behind his ears.

"Would the young master like to eat some grapes"

A leggy beauty in a bikini leaned in to Gu Yan's ear, whispering softly while holding a plate of grapes.

Although the beauty was already quite fair-skinned, she was still a shade darker than Gu Yan after spending almost a week sunbathing at sea.

What did you say

Gu Yan took off his sunglasses with a puzzled expression, clearly not having heard the beauty's words just now.

Even the beautiful woman didn't get annoyed instead she reached out to embrace Gu Yan and was about to kiss him.

Just then—

A phone rang.

Gu Yan dodged the beauty's embrace without hesitation.

"Hello."

Then Gu Yan avoided the crowd and entered his cabin.

A beautiful woman, arms crossed and looking puzzled.

Whose phone is making him so nervous Hearing the ringtone, it wasn't his usual phone ring. I thought it was a doorbell.

At this moment, a yellow hand reached out from behind and hugged the beauty, smiling cheekily as it pulled her towards its own room.

"Hey there, don't pry about Gu Yan and don't ask me about it later either."

Why Could it be his father

A man glanced in the direction of Gu Yan's room and whispered, "That's his ex-girlfriend calling."

The beauty in my arms burst into laughter the next moment.

The man is just Gu Yan's friend.

He knows what the woman is laughing at.

Gu Yan was a hot commodity among the wealthy second generation in Jingjiang, known for his extravagant spending and outgoing personality.

To say nothing of the fact that he is also quite handsome.

Many girls are attracted to Gu Yan.

So Gu Yan is also a famous playboy.

Gu Yan's former girlfriend is not twenty, she's thirty.

The man just looked at the woman in his arms, smiling.

The woman seemed to recall some rumors as well.

"Is it her"

Men cannot refuse.

In the room.

Gu Yan sat down on a chair by the window.

You said.

On the phone was Jiang Yunbai.

"Gu Yan, the police are looking for you."

Gu Yan leaned against the bulkhead of the cabin, seeming lost in thought.

"Hmm."

"Gu Yan, you..."

"I miss you, Xiaobai."

"...."

"Xiaobai, let's meet tomorrow, I won't lie to you."

Jiang Yun held the phone tightly, silent for a long time.

"Well, I understand."

Every time Jiang Yunbai and Gu Yan have a phone call or meet, it makes her feel very strange.

Want to see but also resist.

These two emotions tugged at each other.

Actually, to this day, Jiang Yunbai still doesn't know how someone like Gu Yan could possibly be attracted to her.

He is a completely different person from him.

Whether it's from their family background or appearance and personality, they are worlds apart.

.......

The next morning, Jiang Yunbai switched shifts with her colleagues.

It started to drizzle this morning.

Jiang Mu watched Jiang Yunbai dressing and putting on makeup.

"Little White, are you going out"

"Yes."

Jiang Yun Bai headed out, taking her umbrella without looking back.

The old neighborhood's noodle street will have puddles after it rains.

Jiang Yunbai was fully focused, looking at the road ahead and carefully avoiding puddles.

Until Jiang Yunbai plunged his head under an umbrella awning.

A déjà vu feeling.

Gu Yan's voice came from above.

"Xiaobai, watch the road!"

Jiang Yunbai put away the umbrella in her hand.

Unfortunately, Gu Yan's khaki windbreaker was still damp in one patch.

"How did you get here"

Gu Yan divided the umbrella in half and gave it to Jiang Yunbai.

There was a comfortable distance between the two of them.

Besides the patter of rain, there was only the sound of fabric rubbing.

"The car was parked on the roadside, and I thought I'd just pick you up."

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Until Gu Yan and Jiang Yunbai both got into the car.

Today's weather reminds me of the day we first met.

Gu Yan loosened his grip on the car key, about to start the car.

That day's rain was much heavier than today's.

Jiang Yunbai couldn't help but recall the experience of almost being drenched like a drowned chicken that day. one day you met a girl you liked, and your job doesn't allow you to take care of a family, or even your very existence is dangerous...""Don't worry, I won't get married."After coldly dropping those w...
