Shen Zhao picked up the small black bean-like cold device and observed it carefully. The surface was matte black and so small that it would not be easily discovered if it was stuck in some corners.

Only Guan Qi could produce these devices. If she were to search for evidence, perhaps even after she died a second time, nothing would be found.

However, the recording did make Shen Zhao suspicious. Logically speaking, Xiao Yi was such a gentle man that he would never do anything to harm Dai Weiwei, but Dai Weiwei's panicked tone could not be faked.

Just as Shen Zhao frowned and thought deeply about this, he was interrupted mercilessly by Guan Qi, "You are not thinking that Xiao Yi will not do anything against the law, right?"

"how do you know?"

Guan Qi gave a sarcastic smile with an "I knew it" look. From Shen Zhao's perspective, Xiao Yi was indeed not suspicious, but...

His eyes darkened, but in his eyes, Xiao Yi was not a good person, otherwise he would not have had a big quarrel with Sheng Baiyi and let Shen Zhao disappear from his side for several years. He only reconciled with her after her death!

He still remembered that when Sheng Baiyi had just entered university, she had been dating Xiao Yi for a while without his knowledge. At that time, he just thought that Sheng Baiyi's feelings for Xiao Yi were a kind of transference of feelings to a patient. He thought that she would soon wake up and get tired of that kind of life.

Yes, no.

He waited and waited but that day never came.

Then one day he didn't tell Sheng Baiyi in advance that he was going to the university to find her. When he was about to reach their laboratory, he saw Xiao Yi operating the system alone in the laboratory. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not go in, but with just one glance, he remembered this person.

A few weeks later, Shen Zhao told him that the laboratory data had been leaked, and their group suffered particularly serious losses. Other groups were slightly affected, but it was almost a devastating blow to their group. No one could find out who was the culprit of the leak, but Guan Qi's mind inexplicably flashed back to the figure standing in front of the only computer with a lit screen in the dim laboratory that day.

There is no slander without evidence, but Guan Qi's impression of that man has hit rock bottom. Looking at Sheng Baiyi chatting and laughing with him as if no one is around, he felt an inexplicable fire burning in his chest, and it was getting more and more fierce, reaching its peak when Xiao Yi gave him that extremely sarcastic look.

He couldn't control his temper and started arguing with Sheng Baiyi on the spot. He couldn't tell the reason. He was so angry that his chest was heaving violently. He stared angrily at the man who stood behind Sheng Baiyi, with a gentle face and a dagger in his eyes. But the man's suspicious look was gone in a flash, so fast that even Guan Qi couldn't catch it.

In the end, he and Sheng Baiyi parted ways on bad terms. He was a person who cared too much about his reputation, and he just couldn't bring himself to bow to Sheng Baiyi, so he dragged it on for several years...

Guan Qi looked at the girl sipping latte in front of him. She looked so lively, no longer the cold corpse that made people feel cold. He closed his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes.

Thinking about it now, Xiao Yi showed a little difference from usual at that time. He noticed it at the time but did not let her be more cautious. Although it cannot prove that the murderer is him, the suspicion is extremely high, and he believes that Xiao Yi himself is not an ordinary person.

Guan Qi looked at Shen Zhao's eyes, which had not changed much but looked much younger, and reminded him, "You have to be careful this time. Since Xiao Yi is not ruled out as a possibility, you have to be on guard against him and don't reveal any flaws."

"As for Dai Weiwei, although I didn't hear much this time, it's certain that someone threatened her, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly broken up with Xiao Yi and moved out of his place. That was what she had always dreamed of, wasn't it?"

Shen Zhao nodded, "Yes, she has always wanted to live in Luhu Yajing. After all, it is a symbol of status."

As he said this, an idea suddenly occurred to him. Shen Zhao patted the table, attracting Guan Qi's attention. "What's wrong?"

"Which friend's house did you put this bean on?"

"It's a woman named Winnie, who seems to be of mixed blood. Do you know her?" Guan Qi was also surprised when he found out that Dai Weiwei actually knew this person. With Dai Weiwei's ability, it was impossible for her to know her...

"We have some connection, but we are not familiar with each other. He is a clerk at Secret Rose."

Shen Zhao took another sip of the latte, his mouth full of sweetness and milky taste, but he couldn't taste much strong coffee flavor.

She raised her eyelids slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled gently. "Then I know why she is familiar with Winnie. After all, their Secret Rose's best-selling product was sent by Dai Weiwei."

Before Guan Qi could be surprised again, Shen Zhao looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back, otherwise Mu Yanchen will worry about me."

Although Guan Qi didn't want to hear any other man's name coming out of her mouth, since that was Mu Yanchen, he couldn't be as reckless as he treated Xiao Yi. He had to treat that man more carefully.

He immediately closed his bag and threw it into his backpack, picked up a coat and said, "I'll take you to school."

Shen Zhao just said, "Okay."

Such casual interactions made Shen Zhao feel as if he had returned to the past.

The manor was silent at this time. The room on the second floor of the villa that was always lit was now dark, and the colorful window grilles no longer showed their usual colors, indicating that the owner had gone out again.

A few hours ago, Mu Yanchen was pushed into the monitoring room by Situ Rui in a specially made wheelchair, and he looked coldly at the prisoner in the interrogation room through the glass.

The prisoner appeared unusually calm. Despite his weathered appearance, there was no wave in his eyes. There was no resentment, no extreme madness, and no great joy. Every word he uttered seemed to be without any tone.

The prisoner was named Lv Wei, a villager from a village several kilometers away from the highway. He had a criminal record and was sent to a juvenile detention center for injury when he was a child.

After being released from the juvenile detention center, he worked as a laborer for a while. Later, because it was too hard, he went to the city to work in logistics. However, the salary was too low, so he started stealing and cheating again. It was common for him to be detained. Later, he quit his logistics job.

Fortunately, his father was a car mechanic, so he learned a skill to make a living, so he didn't have to worry about food. He also got married and had a big fat son.

Fortunately, the good times didn't last long. Family members fell seriously ill one after another. With no other options, his wife divorced him and took their son with her.

According to Lv Wei's own account, he actually wanted to find someone to take the blame for him. It would be a blessing to have someone accompany him at the end of his life. This was the motive he gave for committing the crime. A physical examination showed that Lv Wei was indeed suffering from metal poisoning and multiple organ failure, and he would die soon.
