Chapter 2409: Chapter 2410: He Yuanyuan Made a Merit Chapter 2409: Chapter 2410: He Yuanyuan Made a Merit âAre they all from Jindou Village?â
Hearing this news, the three of them were surprised.
Two completely different cases had a common point on them, which was quite suspicious.
âDonât rush to be surprised just yet, besides these, Iâve discovered something else.â Lin Yi said:
âIn Fang Daye, Ma Haiqiang, and my friendâs homes, Buddha Shrines were found.â
âNowadays, more and more people worship Buddha; this can be explained.â Zhang Zixin said:
âBut the fact that all three of them visited Jindou Village is not so easy to explain.â
Gu Yiran nodded, with a serious expression:
âHave you conducted a detailed investigation? Does your friend know Fang Daye and Ma Haiqiang? Is there any connection between them?â
âThe investigation is still underway; there should be some results by tomorrow.â
After a few seconds of contemplation, Gu Yiran said:
âIf thereâs time, I think we should take a trip to Jindou Village to see what the situation is like there; we might be able to find out some useful information.â
âThe two of us had the same idea. After sorting out the matters at hand, Iâll take a trip to Jindou Village.â
âIf Fang Dayeâs case can be connected with your friendâs case, itâs enough to show that the killerâs murder plan is far from over; more people will suffer in the future.â
âI actually feel that these two cases are unrelated.â Zhang Peng said:
âThe warrant has already been issued, and the reward is not insubstantial. Logically, the killer should hide to avoid being discovered. If he still wants to kill, he would be taking a huge risk; a normal person wouldnât do such a thing.â
âYour analysis makes sense, but the killer isnât a normal person; we canât deduce his actions with conventional logic.â
Lin Yi said:
âThink about it, from the beginning until now, when has the killer not been extremely arrogant in his killings, completely disregarding us? Heâs very confident that we wonât catch him.â
The group fell silent again; the killer was indeed an extremely arrogant and highly skilled psychopath.
âItâs still too early to discuss this. Once we have the detailed investigation results, we can determine whether the two cases are related or not.â Gu Yiran sighed and said:
âIf they really are related, then weâre truly the clowns.â
âI actually find it quite exciting; the more it is like this, the more interesting the case becomes.â
Gu Yiran gave Lin Yi a white look, feeling Lin Yi was also a bit of a psychopath.
After staying at the hospital for a while longer, Lin Yi went to Chaoyang Group to pick up Ji Qingyan and take her home.
Just as he arrived at the office door, he heard a chirpy chatter coming from inside.
Lin Yi pushed open the door and found that He Yuanyuan was also there.
Seeing Lin Yi come in, Ji Qingyan tossed her phone aside.
âYouâre back.â
âWhat were you two chirping about? I could hear it from outside.â
Ji Qingyan giggled, âNothing much.â
âMy senior sister saw a set of cartoon underwear, and the store even. launched an outrageous infant edition; sheâs planning to buy a set.â He Yuanyuan said carefreely.
âYouâre going to be the death of me, why do you have to blabber about everything?â Ji Qingyan pinched He Yuanyuan.
âYou two already have kids, why keep hiding things?â He Yuanyuan said:
âThough my boss is a bit of a jerk, it would be wrong of you to do so.â
âEnough, letâs not talk about this anymore.â
He Yuanyuan has always been outspoken without any reservations, and Ji Qingyan was truly worried sheâd blurt out something else. After all, Lin Yi was here; it would be quite embarrassing if she did.
âI heard from Tao Yuan that you didnât go to the memorial service; did you go talk to Director Wangâs family members instead?â Ji Qingyan changed the subject.
âI had a chat about their company matters, but as we talked, I felt something wasnât right about this case, there might be hidden truths.â
âHidden truths?â Both women exclaimed in unison.
Ji Qingyan probed tentatively:
âCould it be not an accidental death, but suicide?â
âItâs not suicide either, it might be homicide.â
âNo way.â Ji Qingyan was somewhat incredulous, âHasnât the police already solved the case? Could there be an unexpected development?â
âDirector Wangâs case has some connections with the one Iâm handling, thatâs why I have such suspicions.â
Ji Qingyan felt a chill yet was also surprised.
It was He Yuanyuan, however, who became excited, her expression mirroring Qiao Xinâs.
âThe case youâre working on took place in Xiangyang Village, and Director Wang was a renowned entrepreneur; there shouldnât be any connection between the two, right? Besides, with Director Wangâs wealth, if he simply reached out to help them, they would probably become very successful,â Ji Qingyan said.
âThereâs no obvious connection between them indeed, but they both come from the same village, and both have a Buddha Shrine at home. Thatâs the commonality, so I have my doubts,â Lin Yi leaned back on the couch, âBut as for the specifics, I still need to investigate further.â
âCould you be too sensitive? Although itâs coincidental, it could still happen. Isnât it said in the books that life is often more absurd than drama?â
Lin Yi smiled, âYou have a point there, but there are other questionable aspects that suggest this case isnât simple, otherwise, I wouldnât be suspicious.â
âSo what are we waiting for then, tell me more about the specifics of this case, I love to get into these kinds of mysteries.â
âActually, these doubts I have are all products of my imagination, just some things that donât quite conform to logic.â
âWell, spill it, Iâve got nothing better to do anyway.â
Lin Yi, lying on the couch, recounted the events he discovered at Gubei No.1 to the two women.
âI think your analysis makes a lot of sense,â Ji Qingyan said.
âWhy do you say that?â Lin Yi asked with a smile.
âBecause Iâve read âThe Great Ming Dynasty 1566,'â Ji Qingyan said:
âPage 748, arguably the climax of the entire book. The upright official Hai Rui wrote a âSecurity Reportâ scolding Emperor Jiajing. When I read it, it made my hair stand on end. Itâs unlikely that someone would put it down in the middle of such an exciting segment if not for an emergency.â
âI agree with my elder sister,â He Yuanyuan said:
âIâve also read that book. Emperor Jiajing was someone who stood both as judge and executor; it got my teeth itching when I was reading. The âSecurity Reportâ written by Hai Rui was so exhilarating that I nearly lost it from joy, staying up till dawn to finish the whole thing.â
âJust like my elder sister said, itâs a major climax of the book. No one would willingly put it down while reading that part. Itâs unlikely to be left aside just to take a bath.â
âAnd you also said that the book was bookmarked, not closed. He may have intended to return shortly, but couldnât for some reasons⊠Hmm? Why are you looking at me with that kind of gaze?â
âWith your character, who wouldâve thought youâd actually read a book?â
