did not meet tonight

A few people fled from the banquet hall in a hurry, but they didn't dare to go far away. They stood at the door and looked inside. The shouts were still coming and going, and Chen Zhe couldn't care about this anymore, and hurried to the banquet hall.With Xiao Yu present, the servant didn't dare to stop Ye Jian, the two of them looked at each other and walked over quickly, Lu Yaning saw that her plan had failed, her face was ashamed and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

The banquet hall was already in chaos, Chen Qiankun was guarded by several bodyguards, Xu Xueru and Chen Tai were also with him, Chen Jing squatted behind the pillar, trembling with fright, Yu Yuanyuan's face was pale, and when he saw Chen Zhe coming in, he burst into tears. Almost burst into tears.Seeing that his family members were all safe and sound, Chen Zhe felt relieved, but the bloody corpse lying on the ground soon turned pale with shock. He subconsciously walked over to check, but Xiao Yu stopped him : "Don't spoil the scene."

Chen Zhe paused, and hurriedly backed away. Xiao Yu stepped forward to check the situation, and Ye Jian followed behind. He was shocked to find that the person who died was actually Lu Baoqian!Her eyes were not closed, her facial features were bleeding, her hands were pinching her throat, and she still maintained the struggling posture before death. A broken goblet lay on the ground, and the liquid inside spilled out and was absorbed by the carpet.

"Is it poison?" Ye Jian asked.

Xiao Yu nodded: "From her appearance, she should call the police first, and then call an ambulance."

Ye Jian took out his mobile phone, Chen Qiankun signaled the bodyguards to back away after seeing that there was no danger, looked at Lu Baoqian who was no longer alive and said sadly: "Poor child, how could such a thing happen."

"The murderer may be among the guests. I hope Uncle Chen can close the door and let no one leave until the police arrive." Xiao Yu said.

Before Chen Qiankun could speak, there were voices of discussion among the guests, expressing their dissatisfaction with protest, but as soon as Chen Qiankun glanced over the crowd, they immediately fell silent.Chen Qiankun said: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will try my best to cooperate with the police investigation, and hope to return the Lu family justice as soon as possible."

After speaking, he ordered Chen Zhe to send someone to guard the entrance and exit of the manor until the police arrived. Although the guests were reluctant, no one dared to raise objections because of Chen Lao's face.Lu Baoxi was lying on the ground. She, who was glamorous just a moment ago, had turned into a cold corpse. Due to the struggle before death, her body twisted strangely. The huge crystal chandelier illuminated the banquet hall. It was like daytime, and her originally delicate and beautiful face became like a withered flower, showing a frightening blue-gray under the light.

No one dared to leave the banquet hall at this time. They didn't want to offend the Chen family, nor did they want to trouble their upper body. They only hoped to separate the relationship after the police completed the procedures.The siren gradually sounded from a distance, and it was getting closer and closer. Several policemen and several medical staff, led by the servants, quickly came to the banquet hall, and the guests automatically gave way to a passage.The leader of the team was a young-looking sheriff, not tall, with shrewd and capable eyes, seeing Xiao Yu obviously startled, rushed over to grab his hand, and said excitedly, "Brother Xiao, why are you here too? We haven't seen each other for a few years, what a coincidence!"

This man is called Tan Dongshu, who investigated the same case with Xiao Yu earlier, he was born with a baby face, although he looks young, he is actually two years older than Xiao Yu, probably because of his appearance, he always lacks that kind of majesty As a result, his promotion was slow, but he was open-minded and never cared about these things.Now is not the time to reminisce, Xiao Yu didn't say much, but said, "Let's investigate the case first."

Tan Dongshu skillfully handed him a pair of rubber gloves, and the medical staff carried the body to the ambulance parked outside the manor after a routine examination of Lu Baoqian.The police are collecting physical evidence, including fragments of goblets, as well as samples of drinks and food at the scene, and questioning the situation of department guests at that time.

The banquet hall was equipped with a camera. Under the leadership of Chen Zhe, Xiao Yu and Tan Dongshu went to the monitoring room. The police were still busy, and the guests who had recorded their statements left one after another after getting permission. The number of people in the banquet hall gradually decreased.Yu Yuanyuan stood there blankly. The servants and bodyguards surrounded the Chen family. No one paid any attention to her. Ye Jian walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'll be here with you And you."

Yu Yuanyuan was still in shock, and held onto his arm tightly: "She was fine at first, and she was chatting with others all the time. I saw her walking over with that glass of wine, and suddenly fell to the ground, twitching all over, her nose and mouth full of blood. Blood, and then just" She couldn't continue, the hideous picture was still in front of her, Lu Baoqian strangled her throat desperately, trying to relieve the pain, so her eyes protruded and her tongue was exposed.

Ye Jian didn't see the situation with his own eyes. Judging from the reactions of the guests, there was only a very short time from poisoning to death, and he didn't even have time to give first aid.Although he didn't like Lu Baoqian, he couldn't help sighing when he thought of the tragedy of her death.He said: "The police will investigate clearly. You should go back to rest after the statement is recorded, so as not to get involved here."

"Ajian, do you think someone poisoned the wine? But if that's the case, why are we all fine?" Yu Yuanyuan said nervously.

The drinks were delivered by the servants, and the guests were free to take them as they wished, but except for Lu Baoqian, everyone else was fine. If the murderer only poisoned a glass of red wine, how could he be sure that the glass of wine was certain? Will it be sent to Lu Baoqian?Or is the person who delivered the wine the murderer?It shouldn't be possible. There are cameras everywhere here. Just giving Lu Baoqian poisoned wine like this is tantamount to exposing himself to countless pairs of eyes. No stupid murderer would do this.

While thinking about it, Xiao Yu and the others had already returned. Yu Yuanyuan greeted Chen Zhe and asked anxiously, "How is it? Did you see the murderer?"

It was just a very common question, but Chen Qiankun frowned, probably because Yu Yuanyuan spoke without the permission of the host, breaking the rules of the Chen family.Seeing the displeased look on his face, Ye Jian recalled that Yu Yuanyuan said that members of the Chen family didn't like her, and it seemed to be true, but Chen Zhe didn't show any dissatisfaction, but instead comforted Yu Yuanyuan: "They're still investigating, don't Worry, with so many bodyguards and servants around, nothing will happen."

Tan Dongshu was discussing the case with the policeman handling the case, Ye Jian lowered his voice and secretly asked Xiao Yu: "Did you find anything in the surveillance?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "When she took the wine, there were five glasses of red wine in the wine holder. Judging from her actions, she took one glass very casually, and the people who drank the other four glasses were fine."

"That is to say, only that glass of wine is poisonous?" Ye Jian said in surprise, "How can the murderer guarantee that the person who got that glass of wine is Lu Baoqian?"

"This is the biggest doubt at the moment. Chen Zhe has handed over the information of the servant serving the wine and the four guests to the police, and they will investigate." Xiao Yu said looking at Tan Dongshu in the distance.

"You don't plan to participate?" As soon as the words came out, Ye Jian regretted it. He forgot that Xiao Yu was now temporarily suspended and had no right to investigate any cases.Xiao Yu's expression didn't change, he just said lightly, "This is not my jurisdiction."

"That's true," Ye Jian continued along the topic, "Your business is all about authority, responsibility, and the like. Those rules and regulations are annoying to listen to. You should look like a vacation when you are on vacation. Are you here to report? If you are a guest at home, let them go to work on the case!"

"I'll go there first." Xiao Yu pointed to Tan Dongshu and said.There were not many guests left in the banquet hall, and most of the irrelevant guests had already left. A few of them were those who had contact with Lu Baoqian in the end. Although they were reluctant in every possible way, they could only accept interrogation by the police.Chen Qiankun asked Chen Zhe to stay and deal with the aftermath, and left surrounded by bodyguards, Xu Xueru followed closely behind, and Chen Tai remained indifferent from the beginning to the end, as if he didn't care about Lu Baoqian's death.

Chen Zhe asked him to help arrange the accommodation for the remaining guests. Although Chen Tai was reluctant, he still agreed.Chen Jing came out from behind the pillar cautiously, lowered her head and trotted all the way to the door. Tan Dongshu saw that she was acting sneakily like a thief, and shouted loudly: "Hey! That lady over there, come and make a statement!"

Chen Jing's footsteps stopped, her small face turned pale with fright, and she stood there without moving. Tan Dongshu became more and more suspicious as he walked towards her: "Are you also a guest at the birthday banquet?"

Chen Jing stammered and couldn't answer: "I am"

Chen Tai had already left the gate, so he stopped when he saw this, and said sarcastically, "Officer Tan is really good at joking, the guests invited by the Chen family are all famous people, how could there be someone like her."

"Then she is?" Tan Dongshu didn't understand.

"The oil bottle that that woman picked up is just the oil bottle. Although it's also surnamed Chen, it has nothing to do with our Chen family." Chen Tai raised his head and said proudly.

Chen Jing stood there, her thin body trembling, her long hair hanging down, covering half of her face, making her look even more helpless and pitiful.Tan Dongshu understood this time, it turned out that she was the adopted daughter of the rumored Chen family!Yu Yuanyuan couldn't bear to see her so scared, walked over and said softly: "Jing'er, don't be afraid, I will accompany you back first."

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Zhe questioningly. After seeing Chen Zhe nodding, she left with her arm around Chen Jing's shoulder.When passing by Chen Tai, he gave a cold snort of disdain, and Chen Jing's body trembled, she lowered her head and hurried past him.

She looked really terrified, but her two brothers in name didn't even look at her, which shows how low her status in the Chen family is.Ye Jian couldn't help sighing, he could still understand Chen Tai's indifference, but with Chen Zhe's usual gentle personality, he would ask a few questions even if something happened to a stranger, why was he so indifferent to Chen Jing?

The police are still collecting physical evidence. Due to the large number of people here before, the traces left behind are disorderly, which brings great difficulty to the investigation. It is estimated that they will have to work here until dawn.Xiao Yu glanced at the time and said to Ye Jian, "Let's go back first too."

"Don't worry about it here?" Ye Jian thought that he would at least stay and help Tan Dongshu through tonight.

"I'm not you, I don't have such a strong sense of mission." Xiao Yu teased.

In the past, Xiao Yu must have had a serious expression when he encountered a murder case, and he would never joke, but now he is like an ordinary passerby, and he doesn't seem to take it to heart.Did he really not care, or had the suspension prevented him from caring?

Ye Jian was vaguely worried, he always felt that this kind of Xiao Yu was not normal, he glanced at him, but in the end he still couldn't ask.
