The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Chapter 196: The Sun's Conspiracy 9 Crane's Conjecture

In Xie Xuan'an's dimly lit room, Jiujo Chizuru and he were talking with their heads close together in low and nervous voices.

Their expressions were extremely serious and their brows were furrowed, as if they were planning an extremely important secret.

However, they were so focused that they did not notice that the sun outside the door was like a cold poisonous snake, peeking through the crack of the door at every move inside the house.

Soon, the sun ended its secret observation and turned away with an unhappy look on its face.

Then he walked into the office, where the atmosphere was equally depressing, with sunlight coming in with difficulty through the gaps in the window.

Taiyang saw Chizuru Kujo sitting at her desk, forcing a seemingly kind smile on her face.

With his hands hanging at his sides, he walked slowly and firmly towards Kujo Chizuru and said:

"Chizuru, the situation here is very complicated. I have always admired your ability and loyalty, and I believe you can understand my thoughts. There are some things that I still need you to pay more attention to."

Under her long straight black bangs, Chizuru Kujo lowered her eyes, nodded slightly, and with her hands loosely placed on the keyboard and mouse, she responded in a low voice: "Boss, I understand."

Taiyang nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted Kujo Chizuru on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly." After that, he turned and left.

A few days later, the sunlight shone on Chizuru Kujo's desk as she worked intently.

Suddenly, the figure of Sun appeared beside her, and the atmosphere around her instantly became tense, as if frozen.

Taiyang said calmly, "Chizuru, is the work going well? Is there anything unusual?"

Kujo Chizuru was startled by the voice and immediately stopped what she was doing.

Taiyang leaned forward slightly, approached Kujo Chizuru, and continued:

"You have to pay attention to what I told you. Any movement is of vital importance. Report to me immediately if there is any situation. This is a good opportunity for you to show your ability. Don't let me down."

Jiujo Chizuru bit her lip and said after a long silence: "Boss, don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on it."

The corners of Sun's mouth raised in a smile, then he turned and left.

Ever since the conversation with Taiyang in the office that day, Chizuru Kujo always felt that there were a pair of invisible eyes secretly watching her.

On her way to and from get off work every day, she is keenly aware of something unusual.

In the bustling crowd, there always seemed to be one or two figures who seemed to be casually keeping a distance from her that was neither too far nor too close.

Whenever she looked back, those figures would quickly blend into the crowd and disappear.

This feeling became stronger in the company. Even when she was concentrating on her work, she could still sense the hidden gazes from people around her.

Sometimes it is a quick glance from a colleague that seems unintentional but actually has a deeper meaning; sometimes it is a mysterious figure that flashes by at the end of the corridor.

On this day, Chizuru Kujo was going home from get off work as usual. Walking on the dimly lit street, she deliberately slowed down her pace and kept an eye on the movements behind her.

Sure enough, a man in a baseball cap stopped not far behind her and pretended to look at the shop windows on the street. Kujo Chizuru's heart tightened, and she quickened her pace and turned into a narrow and deep alley.

When she got home, she frowned, her eyes under her bangs showing vigilance and deep worry. She probably knew that she had been drawn into a dangerous vortex, and if she was not careful, she would fall into an irretrievable situation.

Chizuru Kujo is an extremely intelligent and thoughtful person.

So she would never lose her composure.

After returning home, I changed into comfortable home clothes and sat quietly at the desk. The notebook in front of me was filled with records of various abnormalities I had observed in recent days.

This is a small house she rented to disguise her identity.

She knew very well that it was no accident that she was being followed.

By analyzing the stalker's behavior patterns, she could almost conclude that this was instructed by her boss, Taiyang.

Why did the sun do this? If he was upright, why would he send someone to monitor him? There must be a big secret behind this.

Thinking of Xie Xuan'an, the man who was nominally the sun's companion, the last time he communicated with me, his vigilant and tentative eyes, and the seemingly casual but meaningful question...

-

"Who is the person that Sun trusts the most?"

This is really suspicious. As the sun's companion, he should not be unaware of this basic information.

Unless, he is planning something in secret.

Looking at Xie Xuan'an's daily performance, he rarely leaves the company, but is always taken by Yang Tai to show off the so-called love in the company in a high-profile manner.

However, Xie Xuan'an's face looked extremely bad every time, and the dark circles under his eyes hinted at his long-term physical and mental exhaustion.

There was also the scene that he saw by chance. The decorations in the house were smashed all over the floor, the furniture was overturned, and the messy marks on the wall were shocking. Xie Xuan was lying powerlessly on the bed, his clothes were messy but there was no sign of intimacy.

This is definitely not the situation that would occur in a normal couple's relationship. It is more like a chaotic scene after a fierce fight.

Combining these clues, Chizuru Kujo made rigorous reasoning: If Xie Xuan'an wanted to get rid of Taiyang, then he asked people close to Taiyang, perhaps looking for help; and Taiyang's surveillance of himself might be because he was worried that he would notice the secret between him and Xie Xuan'an.

But this may just be an appearance. Perhaps there is some extremely complicated conflict of interest between Sun and Xie Xuan'an, which has led to the current situation.

Or perhaps there are deeper, undiscovered factors secretly manipulating everything.

However, the current clues are not complete and conclusive enough.

She understood that she needed to observe more meticulously, not missing any details, and at the same time cleverly collect more information from all parties, in order to gradually uncover the truth behind it and accurately judge the true relationship between them.

Thinking of this, Jiujo Chizuru couldn't help but take a breath. This idea was really scary, but it was not impossible. Her hands began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and her breathing became rapid.

But even though there are some strange things going on, she still has to persevere for the sake of her mission.

On this day, Chizuru Kujo received an arrangement from Taiyang to deliver food to Xie Xuan'an who was locked in the room.

Full of doubts, she brought the food to Xie Xuan'an's door and knocked gently.

The souls of the people in the house are wandering in the sky.

Xie Xuan'an's relationship with the sun has been unusually tense these days, and sleeping is no longer as restrictive as before.

This should have been a relief for him, but he was still upset. When he heard the knock on the door, Xie Xuan'an's originally dull eyes suddenly brightened up.

The door opened, and Xie Xuan'an was excited when he saw Jiujo Chizuru. Jiujo Chizuru put the food on the table, and Xie Xuan'an prepared to eat.

At this moment, Kujo Chizuru hesitated to speak. However, before she could open her mouth, Taiyang suddenly pushed the door open and stared at them coldly, as if hinting at something.

Xie Xuan'an's movements froze instantly, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Get out." Taiyang said coldly.

Kujo Chizuru had no choice but to walk out the door slowly and respectfully, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Looking at the tiny gap before the door closed, Xie Xuan'an's eyes showed fear.

“This matter is definitely not simple.”
