The people from the North Garden, if not thoroughly checked back eight generations, are nearly there. Unless there’s evidence, it’s impossible to suspect anyone.
"Ye Qi, how’s the alibi investigation going?" Beiming Han asked Ye Qi, who had returned.
Ye Qi shook his head, "Basically everyone has an alibi, didn’t find any clues."
"Could it be possible to kill soone in the North Garden and not find a trace? I can’t believe it! I’m going to take a look." Huangfu Ye stood up and found a bodyguard to lead him to the cri scene.
Everyone discussed for a while longer, Lan Liehuo also shared so objective opinions, while Beiming Han remained mostly silent, leaving everyone uncertain about his thoughts.
Ye Qi stood by, his peripheral vision catching Beiming Han, feeling a bit tense inside.
"You need to understand one thing. Sotis the person you think is least likely is often the killer! Think about it, who do you think is the least likely?" Lan Liehuo said.
"Least likely... Ye Qi!" Ye Yingsu pointed to Ye Qi.
Ye Qi’s heart jolted fiercely, he looked up and smiled, "Miss Ye is joking."
"Right, how could it be Ye Qi, he’s the least likely... but definitely not him!" Ye Yingsu glanced at Lan Liehuo.
"I won’t comnt on this, as I’m not familiar with your people." Lan Liehuo smiled mysteriously, casting a glance at Ye Qi.
Ye Qi’s palms were sweating, and his breathing unconsciously becoming lighter.
Half an hour later, Huangfu Ye returned, saying, "This person must be incredibly familiar with the North Garden, I’m quite certain now, it’s soone inside, no way could an outsider co in and do this."
"Aunt Zhou has always been in the North Garden, rarely interacts with outsiders, hardly even with family, it’s impossible she’s at odds with anyone."
"Oh dear, too difficult, I’m sleepy, going to rest first, you should all rest early too, continue finding clues tomorrow." Ye Yingsu stood up and left.
"I’ll go with her." Lan Liehuo also stood up and left.
"I’ll go brew so tea." Ye Qi said and then left.
Beiming Han watched Ye Qi’s retreating figure, frowning slightly, tonight Ye Qi seed a bit off.
The tea arrived, Beiming Han accepted the teacup handed over by Ye Qi, took a sip, and said, "You may leave now."
"Yes, Master, call if you need anything." Ye Qi turned and left.
He noticeably breathed a sigh of relief upon leaving.
Beiming Han took another sip of tea. He and Ye Qi had been inseparable for so many years, Ye Qi felt as natural to him as air, he even knew every one of his breaths.
Yet today...
Ye Qi was evidently a bit confused.
"Brother," Bai Jingqing noticed Beiming Han’s silence and asked, "Do you have any thoughts, suspects in mind?"
"Who is it?" Huangfu Ye also looked at him nervously.
Ye Qi was about to close the door when he heard them ask this, his action of closing the door slowed slightly.
"Not at the mont, you’ll stay here tonight, anything to discuss, we’ll do so tomorrow... this incident has been very distressing to Xin’er, I’ll go comfort her now." Beiming Han stood up, and only after the door closed did he turn towards the villa’s entrance.
...
When Beiming Han returned to the room, An Xiaonuan imdiately decided to leave to look for Huangfu Ye.
She walked out the door and saw Huangfu Ye standing at the entrance waiting for her, she quickly ran over to hug him, looked up, and asked, "Did you co to pick up?"
