Chapter 335

~6 min read 1,001 words

A black car appeared in the observation mirror. The car model looked very similar to Tian Mi's, but when Qi Fei and the others left, Tian Mi's car was still parked in the yard.

The speed of the car was very slow. It was obviously parked nearby and drove up. Just as Qi Fei expected, someone was waiting for them to leave nearby.

The two stared at the car door opening without blinking. A person got out of the car. It was not someone else, but Li Shuangshuang.

She looked around for a long time, and only after seeing no one did she walk toward Tian Mi's house.

"It's actually her?" Wu Shanqiu said unexpectedly. "Tian Mi looks like a physique with exercise habits. If Li Shuangshuang wants to take action against Tian Mi, she shouldn't be her opponent, right?"

Li Shuangshuang didn't press the doorbell of Tian Mi's house. It seemed she put something at the door and turned back.

The two stopped Li Shuangshuang's way with confusion.

"You didn't leave?" Her sentence exposed herself.

"So the person who tipped off Tian Mi was you?" Qi Fei said.

Unexpectedly, Li Shuangshuang showed a puzzled expression on her face: "Tipping off? What do you mean?"

At this time, Wu Shanqiu had already retrieved the thing Li Shuangshuang just put at the door of Tian Mi's house. It was a box the size of a palm. After opening it, it was actually a gold necklace.

"Are you here to bribe Tian Mi?" Qi Fei looked at Li Shuangshuang with suspicious eyes.

"No, no, I'm here to return the gift. This is the engagement gift General Manager Tian gave us. Ziwu is dead, and this engagement can't be made..." Li Shuangshuang said weakly, her tone was more numb than sad.

"Must you return the gift in the middle of the night? And, you should have waited for a whole night, right?" Qi Fei asked.

"Everyone knows General Manager Tian is about to be promoted soon. I'm afraid that if others see this, it will be bad for her," Li Shuangshuang lowered her head.

"You are quite thoughtful for her," Qi Fei didn't understand Li Shuangshuang's obedience. In his view, Li Shuangshuang was just a little girl "sold" by Tian Mi to win over the Dong family.

"I am a newcomer with no background and no qualifications. General Manager Tian can introduce Ziwu to me. I am already grateful," Li Shuangshuang said, sounding sincere. This emotion was even more real than when she mentioned Dong Ziwu.

"Just for this, you waited for several hours in such a cold night with a big belly?" Qi Fei really didn't understand Li Shuangshuang's confusing behavior.

"Hmm, I saw you kept looking for General Manager Tian, so I didn't dare to come over," she said.

"Uh, when did you find us here?" Qi Fei furrowed his brows slightly.

"I saw her..." Li Shuangshuang looked at Wu Shanqiu. "I originally wanted to go to the convenience store to buy things, and happened to see her buying fries and burgers out. I felt strange because this is near General Manager Tian's house, so I remembered the matter that General Manager Tian said in the meeting before that you suspected she was the murderer."

"You guessed we were following her? You are quite smart," Wu Shanqiu said helplessly.

"You didn't tell Tian Mi about this?" Qi Fei didn't quite believe her.

"No... I didn't dare to send her a message directly," Li Shuangshuang shook her head.

"You are afraid of her," Qi Fei saw it. "Have you told Dong Qianjin?"

"I didn't tell Uncle," Li Shuangshuang blurted out.

Qi Fei couldn't help but look at her bulging belly. She was about to give birth, but she could only call Dong Qianjin Uncle. After all, Dong Ziwu didn't even get a marriage certificate with her before he died. She couldn't even be considered a widow now.

Seeing her standing pitifully in the cold winter night, Qi Fei couldn't help but feel sympathy, and his tone softened: "Who did you tell about finding us?"

Li Shuangshuang whispered: "I just called my mother and said it. She urged me to return the gift to General Manager Tian. During this time, she was very anxious and kept asking me at night if I had returned the gift. I told her I had to wait a while, there were police..."

"Your mother?" Qi Fei was confused and thought of the alumni meeting Dong Qianjin attended. "Is she an alumnus with Dong Qianjin?"

Li Shuangshuang didn't seem to understand why Qi Fei mentioned such a question, looked up and said: "No, Uncle is a high-achieving student of Xipu University in that era. My mother doesn't have such a high degree."

"That is to say, your mother didn't go to the alumni party tonight?" Qi Fei continued to confirm unwillingly.

"Are you talking about Uncle's alumni party? That was at Jiangwan Hotel, right in Nancheng. My mother wouldn't come even if she were an alumnus in her hometown. Why did you suddenly ask this?" Li Shuangshuang finally couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing," Qi Fei was puzzled and looked around Tian Mi's house, thinking, could Li Shuangshuang's appearance be just a coincidence, and there was another pair of eyes staring at them in the dark?

However, the light of dawn had begun to brighten, and there was no suspicious sign as far as the eye could see.

In the police station, Qi Fei told Zhong Xiaoyu about the night's experience. Several times, he habitually paused, wanting to wait for Zhong Xiaoyu to comment, because Zhong Kui always argued with him and made jokes. He was always not used to Zhong Xiaoyu opposite listening quietly, without interfering with his narration at all.

"Analyzing cases is not what I am good at. You know what I am better at is analyzing people," Zhong Xiaoyu's feedback after listening didn't give Qi Fei any surprise, more like stating a fact they both knew.
