Chapter 193: This Woman Is Unusual!

~7 min read 1,354 words

That afternoon.

After receiving Liu Siyuan's call, Yu Dazhang drove to the Liu family villa.

The last time he came here was five days ago; back then he had just taken over this case, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a week had passed.

Arriving at the first-floor hall, Yu Dazhang saw Liu Siyuan sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

Beside Liu Siyuan sat a tall woman, appearing to be about the same age as Liu Siyuan.

For the first time, Yu Dazhang felt what it meant to say "women are like books."

She sat there without speaking, making no move at all; merely looking at you faintly made you feel somewhat at a loss.

You even wanted to take the initiative to greet her or say something.

As for her looks, she could at most be rated as above average.

But for some reason, she always gave people a sense of being different, very special.

The woman was like an orchid, quiet as a maiden.

This is a typical highly educated woman... Yu Dazhang silently made this judgment in his heart.

Not showy, yet possessing a fresh flavor; not deliberate about her image, yet making people feel very comfortable.

A woman like this, merely sitting there, is enough to make men infatuated.

The inner cultivation and temperament possessed by truly highly educated women cannot be faked, and at the same time cannot be concealed.

It seems Liu Siyuan gave up the whole forest for her.

Indeed charming, but playing with it for too long would get boring... Yu Dazhang still didn't quite understand Liu Siyuan's behavior.

Mainly because he had never played before.

Nodding to the two of them, Yu Dazhang sat down opposite them.

"May I ask who this is?" he asked, pretending not to know.

As he spoke, his eyes were full of curiosity, seeming very interested in the relationship between the two of them.

"This is my girlfriend."

Liu Siyuan looked at the woman beside him, his gaze as gentle as water:

"Ceng Lisi, this is Officer Yu I told you about."

After his introduction, the two exchanged a glance, and Ceng Ceng Lisi spoke first:

"Hello, Officer Yu."

"Hello, hello." Yu Dazhang bowed slightly while extending his hand.

The result was that before he could reach near Ceng Ceng Lisi, he was blocked by Liu Siyuan.

"Let's talk about the real matter."

Liu Siyuan's face looked very ugly, obviously very dissatisfied with Yu Dazhang's behavior.

He truly cared about this woman... Yu Dazhang's action of attempting to shake hands was actually testing Liu Siyuan.

Just now, he had extended his hand while greeting.

If Liu Siyuan had hesitated for even a second, he wouldn't have been able to stop it in time.

"Alright, I came this time to further understand your family situation."

Yu Dazhang withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly:

"When your father was alive, what was the relationship between you and your sister like?"

This was also asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Ma Jian had already told him similar information yesterday.

But Yu Dazhang still wanted to hear the answer from Liu Siyuan, the person involved.

"I said before, after Dad died, my sister stopped coming home."

Liu Siyuan showed an impatient expression:

"In the last year, I basically had no contact with her."

Answering a different question... Yu Dazhang stared at him and repeated the question again:

"I am asking, when your father was alive, what was the relationship between you and your sister like?"

While speaking, he kept observing Ceng Ceng Lisi beside him with his peripheral vision.

Even with peripheral vision, Yu Dazhang could clearly capture the change in her expression.

For a moment, he discovered this woman seemed a bit nervous, but she quickly returned to normal.

"You are really strange; I just answered you, why are you asking again."

Liu Siyuan's voice rose a few degrees, seeming to carry a hint of annoyance:

"We don't even contact each other anymore; how could the relationship be good? Do you really need me to make it clear?"

Still answering a different question... This left Yu Dazhang somewhat confused.

Hearing it suddenly, Liu Siyuan's answer seemed faultless. But the timing was wrong.

He asked about before Liu Zhengyang died, while Liu Siyuan answered about after Liu Zhengyang died.

Moreover, looking at Liu Siyuan's appearance, he didn't seem to be deliberately evading the question.

The answer was too natural, without even a hint of hesitation.

Was I slurring my words, or is he hard of hearing?

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and changed the question:

"Did your father reveal anything about a will to you before he died?"

"Will?" This question made Liu Siyuan pause; he looked at Yu Dazhang blankly:

"What will? My sister said Dad only left a last message, and she distributed the family assets according to that message."

His answer was so strange... Yu Dazhang savored his words carefully, always feeling something was off about them.

On the surface, there didn't seem to be any problem listening to it.

But it was still answering the wrong question.

E-r-r-o-r f-r-e-e c-o-n-t-e-n-t h-e-r-e!

The question asked was whether Liu Zhengyang had left a will before his death, yet his answer was still about things after Liu Zhengyang's death.

The answer itself had no flaw, only the timing was off.

Was he doing it on purpose?

How could he avoid the timing twice in a row?

Yu Dazhang recalled the scene from the last time he met with him.

He remembered asking similar questions back then.

For example, does Liu Qi usually come home?

Liu Siyuan's answer at that time was: When dad was alive, she often came home.

Also, what was your father's temper like?

Liu Siyuan answered that one normally too.

He didn't avoid the timing.

So what was going on today?

Yu Dazhang couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Ceng Ceng Lisi beside him.

Could it be because of this woman?

Let me try... Yu Dazhang suddenly changed the subject and asked Liu Siyuan loudly:

"Do you still remember anything your father once said to you? Just one sentence will do!"

"What words?" Liu Siyuan instinctively replied.

Immediately after, his originally relaxed brow began to furrow slightly.

His complexion also gradually changed, becoming somewhat bizarre.

At this moment, his eyes were slightly narrowed, his lips lightly pursed, as if he were desperately digging for certain fragments of memory deep within his mind.

"What's happening to me?"

He muttered to himself, his voice low and full of confusion:

"Daddy clearly said so many things to me, but... but why can't I remember even a single one."

Liu Siyuan's expression grew more and more pained, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.

A moment later, he suddenly stood up, the whole person looking like a lost soul, like a walking corpse.

Guessed right... Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Liu Siyuan, not letting slip any subtle change on his face.

"Why, why is it like this..."

Liu Siyuan's expression gradually shifted from bewilderment to ferocity; he clutched at his own hair with one hand, muttering ceaselessly.

Not good, he's about to lose control!

Just as Yu Dazhang didn't know what to do, a small fair hand suddenly reached over and gently slipped into Liu Siyuan's palm.

"Siyuan, what's wrong with you?"

The tone in which Ceng Ceng Lisi spoke was like a spring breeze, soft and gentle.

With just one word, Liu Siyuan's emotions immediately stabilized.

His expression also shifted from the previous pained contortion to calm, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Take a deep breath. Since you can't think of it, then stop thinking about it."

Her words seemed to have a kind of magic, giving one a very warm feeling.

Upon hearing this, Liu Siyuan actually nodded lightly, then slowly sat back down on the sofa.

Just then, a yawn that came at the wrong time rang out.

"Ah~~~~~~~" Yu Dazhang opened his mouth wide, his eyes watery:

"Your voice is so gentle, it made me sleepy."
