did not meet tonight

There was a lot of noise in the manor all night, and the police car didn't leave until dawn. It is estimated that many people didn't sleep well last night. Ye Jian almost kept his eyes open until dawn. He couldn't figure out what method the murderer used. Only then did Lu Baoxi get the glass of wine.

He washed hastily and left the room. There was still a servant standing in the corridor. The Chen family looked the same as before, but the atmosphere was more oppressive under the cover of the murder case.The servant invited him to the restaurant on the third floor for breakfast as usual, and Lu Yaning was already sitting there. After seeing Ye Jian, her nerves changed obviously, and she pretended to be relaxed and chatted with Xiang Jingyu in front of her.

Xiang Jingyu is a careless rich man, he doesn't have the flamboyant feeling of a rich man, and he is very polite, Ye Jian doesn't have a bad impression of him.As for Lu Yaning, although Ye Jian didn't take that ridiculous farce of framing last night to heart, she, who is commensurate with Lu Baoqian's sister, was not sad at all after her death, and immediately sat here chatting and laughing with others, which shows her indifferent temperament To a certain extent, it is not as gentle and enthusiastic as it appears on the surface.

Xiang Jingyu took the initiative to greet him: "Good morning, Mr. Ye."

Ye Jian raised his hand to respond to him, and glanced at Lu Yaning by the way. Although Lu Yaning still kept a smile on his face, it was obviously unnatural.Xiang Jingyu said regretfully: "Although it's the first time I met Ms. Lu, I feel very sad that she encountered such an accident. I hope the police can find the murderer as soon as possible."

As he said, he and Lu Baoxi are not familiar with each other. As a passer-by, it is reasonable to just express his sadness, but it is really strange that Lu Yaning did not mention a word. Even if it is polite, shouldn't she also pretend to be sad? ?Ye Jian said: "The murder happened right under everyone's noses. I believe that as long as the investigation continues, the murderer will be found."

"Yes, what Mr. Ye said is right. There were so many people in the banquet hall last night, someone would always see something. Ms. Lu, do you think so?" Xiang Jingyu asked casually.

Lu Yaning let out an "Ah" as if she was frightened by something, met their surprised gazes, and concealed: "I didn't sleep well last night, I kept thinking about this matter, no matter how bad-tempered Bao Qian is, , shouldn’t have encountered such a terrible thing.” As she spoke, a sad expression appeared on her face, and her eyes even got wet.

"This birthday party invites people with backgrounds, and everyone gets in and out based on invitations. Could it be that the murderer is here?" Xiang Jingyu guessed.

"Although you say that, the owner of the invitation can bring his family members to attend. Who knows if there are any vicious people mixed in here." Lu Yaning deliberately diverted the topic, "Speaking of which, Mr. Ye doesn't seem to have an invitation. If it wasn't for Yu, Mr. Ye would have no way to enter the manor."

This surprised Xiang Jingyu a bit. He only knew that Ye Jian was the woman's family member, but he didn't expect that there was such a relationship.He cast his eyes on Ye Jian and asked curiously, "I don't know what kind of job Mr. Ye is in?"

Ye Jian knew that Lu Yaning wanted to embarrass him deliberately, so he replied calmly: "I opened a detective agency, and I usually take care of some small businesses that I don't care about, and I have come into contact with a lot of weird people and things."

"No wonder Mr. Ye was so calm when the homicide happened. He turned out to be an expert!" Xiang Jingyu said in admiration.

"It's not an expert, it's just that they know more than ordinary people." Ye Jian blushed completely, and of course he would not tell the other party that the biggest business he had taken so far was to catch rape.

"So you and Mr. Xiao met through the case?" Xiang Jingyu asked curiously.

"We don't know each other." Ye Jian sat firmly, as if he and Xiao Yu were really evenly matched.Lu Yaning originally wanted to take this opportunity to give him a bad start, but she didn't expect Xiang Jingyu to be so interested. If she were to be sarcastic, it would be even more ulterior motives.She had only eaten half of the breakfast on the table, and she had no appetite at all, so she wiped her mouth with a napkin and stood up to leave.When Xiao Yu walked in from the outside, the eyes of the two just collided. Lu Yaning looked embarrassed and looked away awkwardly.

Xiang Jingyu greeted him, checked the time and said goodbye to them.There were only the two of them left in the dining room, and the servant brought breakfast, Ye Jian said, "Lu Yaning is quite strange, he didn't mention anything about Lu Baoqian at all, the sisterhood between the two of them is too fake."

"She's afraid of getting into trouble." Xiao Yu said lightly.

"Yesterday, I felt strange. How could she invite me to be her male companion? It turned out that the drunkard didn't want to drink." Ye Jian thought that incident was a joke. Chen Zhe didn't mention it later, and he probably thought it was disgraceful, " Lu Baoxi sang with her last night and left us, you are her boyfriend, did you notice anything unusual?"

"Do you think her mind is on me?" Xiao Yu asked.

"That's true, at most she was being used, no wonder Lu Yaning didn't mention anything." Ye Jian said.

No one could have predicted that a luxurious banquet ended like this. It is estimated that the news has already written up and down, but they stayed in this place and felt nothing.Ye Jian asked, "Should Lu Baoqian's autopsy results come out in these two days?"

"It depends on whether her family will sign the autopsy notice." Xiao Yu said, "The cause of her death can only be determined if the food left in her stomach meets the results of the toxin test."

"Then do you think the murderer will be someone from outside, or someone from the manor?" Ye Jian asked intently, holding a fork in one hand and a spoon in the other, without eating breakfast.

"Lu Baoqian has lived abroad for a long time and has not had much contact with the Chen family. If her father hadn't had time this time, she would not have come here." Xiao Yu said, "She arrived at the Chen family only two days earlier than us. It's unlikely that a feud will develop in such a short period of time."

"It makes sense. According to Lu Baoqian's character, she will definitely not offend the Chen family." Ye Jian frowned seriously, "So, the murderer is likely to be someone from outside? If there are many guests, there may be some who sneak in."

"According to the servant of Chen's family, none of the guests left the banquet hall after the murder. The police also gave detailed statements to the few people who had contact with Lu Baoqian in the end, but none of them had the motive for committing the crime." These are all Xiao Yu learned from Tan Dongshu that Tan Dongshu hoped that he could help him solve the case together, but Xiao Yu declined on the grounds that he was on vacation.

"That's really strange, what method did the murderer use to get Lu Baoxi to get the glass of poisoned wine, and what was the motive for the murder?" Ye Jian rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

Xiao Yu said mockingly, "Shall I introduce you to assist Officer Tan in investigating the case?"

Ye Jian chuckled: "There's no need for referrals, just let me know if there's any new progress, so I won't have to figure out what's going on all day long."

"Chen Zhe and I are going to the police station in a while." Xiao Yu looked at the time and said.

"You said that both of them are the sons of the Chen family, so why is Chen Tai acting like he has nothing to do with it?" Ye Jian imagined a big house fight scene in his brain, "He doesn't want to take this opportunity to express himself so that he can seize it." The old man's favor?"

"Everyone has the life he wants to live. Although the family is important, it is not the only one." Xiao Yu said.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Ye Jian smiled at him.

Xiao Yu reached out and touched his head, with a gentle voice: "Stay here well, and call me if you need anything."

Fortunately, the servant was standing far away, and there was no one else at the table, otherwise Ye Jian could really get under the table and touch his head, shouldn't this kind of movement belong to children, he is also a handsome seven-foot man!Probably because of the murder case, all the servants I met along the way looked serious, and everyone seemed in danger. Ye Jian didn't want to stay in the house, and walked alone on the courtyard path.

Autumn has arrived, and the blowing wind has brought coolness. The ground is covered with half-yellow and half-green fallen leaves. There is a classically shaped lamp post every few meters, which can illuminate the place brightly even at night, but maybe it is Because the trees are too dense, there is always a sense of oppression here, and even the emerald green eyes can't alleviate this feeling.For no reason, Ye Jian thought of the statues of the mountain gods he saw when he went up the mountain. Although the two had nothing to do with each other, the dreary mansion and the gloomy garden made him feel weak.

The garden is really big. If he didn't know it was a manor in advance, he might really think it was still in the forest. This was the first time he looked at this place seriously.All the trees seem to be native-grown, rather than transplanted. Although there are special personnel to look at them and trim them neatly, it can still be seen from the layout that they are messy. Live a life of isolation.

If this was placed in ancient times, it would probably be called the king of the mountain, right?Seeing that Chen Qiankun hugged each time he appeared, he was similar to a local emperor, and because Yu Yuanyuan took the initiative to speak last night, he actually put on a face on the spot. This person is too patriarchal.

Ye Jian didn't have a good impression of him, but felt bad for Yu Yuanyuan to face such an old-fashioned father-in-law in the future.He couldn't help sighing, and when he looked up, he saw Yu Yuanyuan walking on the road with a lot of thoughts, and didn't even notice her.Ye Jian waited for a while, but didn't see her looking at him, so he could only call out, "Yuan Yuan."

Only then did Yu Yuanyuan come back to his senses: "Huh?"

"You walk so carelessly that you fall into the ditch carefully, I won't fish it." Ye Jian said with a face.

"No way, I sent Ah Zhe out just now, and Brother Xiao was also with him. They are going to the police station. I am a little worried about what happened last night." Yu Yuanyuan didn't have the heart to joke with him, and smiled forcedly.

"He went to the police station to assist in the investigation. After all, the murder happened in the Chen family, so don't worry, it's fine." Ye Jian comforted her.

"I hope so." Yu Yuanyuan still couldn't cheer up, "I don't know why, I always feel that this matter is not over yet. Ah Jian, I'm a little scared, but I don't know what I'm afraid of. Sometimes I just want to , am I from the Chen family, they didn't like me in the first place, and now that something like this happened, will they hate me even more?"

Her expression was so helpless, which made Ye Jian feel distressed: "The murder case is the murder case, how can it have anything to do with you? Don't be afraid, if anyone dares to bully you, I don't care which family he belongs to, the first one Beat him so hard that he doesn't even know his mother!"

Yu Yuanyuan laughed loudly: "Then brother Xiao should have a headache and put you in prison."

"Even if I'm in jail, I still have to protect my sister!" Ye Jian looked deathly at home, "Yuan Yuan, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you. Come on and I'll hit you. Come on and I'll fight you." Make a pair!"

Even though she knew he was joking, Yu Yuanyuan's mood improved a lot unknowingly. She sighed and said, "Thank you, Ajian."

"Tell me thank you, are you planning to end the relationship on the spot?" Ye Jian said with a displeased face.

"I was wrong, I apologize." Yu Yuanyuan bowed seriously.

"Okay, go back quickly, be more careful." Ye Jian patted her on the shoulder and said.

"You too." Yu Yuanyuan said worriedly, "I heard about what happened last night. You should stay away from Lu Yaning in the future. I really didn't expect her to be such a person, but I think she should not dare to do anything else for the time being. gone."

"Then what else have you heard?" Compared to Lu Yaning, Ye Jian was more concerned about Xiao Yu's actions at that time. Could it be that it has spread all over the manor now?

"All of them, of course including Big Brother Xiao." Yu Yuanyuan winked playfully at him, "Brother Xiao did a great job, I have to find a chance to praise him face to face."

Ye Jian's head exploded, and he really wanted to ask, can he take that as a misunderstanding, such as accidentally bumping into something, can he get over it?
