  Ye Qing is a lonely woman, also a closed-up woman for a long time. I couldn't help but sigh, if it were an ordinary person, how could one sentence bring out her countless complaints, let alone to a stranger? Her previous words were not directed at me, but at all the young women who might become her husband. What kind of days has she been living? How long have these timid and fearful days lasted?

  Before I could speak, Ye Qing continued: "This matter is really our family's bad luck. How come other families who keep mistresses or concubines don't have any incidents, but ours ended up with a homicide case? What was her name again? Guan Xinyue... right, that's the one, I've seen her once or twice before, how did it end up in murder?"

  I didn't say a word, I just took a simple look at the layout of the house. Almost all the furniture was new, and both inside and out, it gave off an unmistakable air of being newly rich. What caught my attention most was the photo wall facing the front door, and the frames were actually gold-plated. If you looked at them under the lights at night, wouldn't they be dazzling to the point where your eyes couldn't open?

  "Have you seen Guan Xinyue?" Ye Qing suddenly took a few steps forward and leaned in close to my ear, almost whispering: "To be honest, I shouldn't be saying this, but... after seeing her, I just feel uncomfortable deep down. She's the kind of person who looks high-class at first glance, but who knows what she's really like? If we're talking about Shao Yin... people like her aren't scary, Shao Yin has a clear motive, it's the kind of motive that you can see right away, and she doesn't hide it, she's just after money. But Guan Xinyue is different. Not to mention men, even I couldn't help but want to treat her well when I saw her. What kind of woman is this... wouldn't it be great if she just found someone to marry? Why would she want to be someone else's mistress? Tsk tsk tsk... and our family's Li Cheng really has good luck with women, I heard that..."

  "I heard she has another identity, is Secretary Li's secretary? Is that true?" It seems like even if I don't ask anything, she'll still tell me everything.

  Ye Qing's expression was somewhat unsightly, and she helplessly sighed: "Well, isn't that so? Looking at her like that, who would have thought she could also dig into someone else's corner? What's even more formidable is that she actually managed to deceive Shao Yin. In terms of intelligence, both of these women are smarter than me. Hmph, this really is what they call 'dogs biting dogs'... Ah yes, where were we? Ah yes, you should say something, why do the two of us have suspicions? Didn't we already say that at the time we both had alibis? Haven't we already told the police about this before? What's not clear about it? You wouldn't be intentionally using this method to provoke me, would you?"

  "Is the alibi really solid?" I glanced at Ye Qing. She wasn't someone who didn't understand law, nor was she an ignorant woman. She was using this method to probe into the case.

  As expected, I only asked this one sentence, and she didn't speak for half a day. She just retorted: "Are you going to treat us all as suspects? Humph, I advise you to be more careful. Even the police can't randomly suspect people. If you really want to investigate something, why don't you first carefully investigate your good friend? Wasn't she the first one to discover the body? Isn't it said that the person who first discovers the body is often a suspect? Although the police still don't have evidence...

  Here is the translation:

  At this point, Ye Qing's words suddenly stopped. What was she thinking of? I had a question mark in my heart. However, neither of us wanted to continue on this topic. I just asked about Guan Xinyue's family background and social circle, as well as who she usually hung out with. As Li Cheng's wife, she couldn't possibly know nothing about Guan Xinyue. But again, beyond my expectations, Guan Xinyue answered some of the questions very seriously, then shook her head firmly: "I only know that she seduced my husband first, I don't know anything else. She lives in a condo called Yiyuan in the city, why don't you go ask around yourself? Also, Zhu Ayi, who takes care of her, lives not far from there, she should know more than me. However, she's a gossipmonger, likes to badmouth people behind their backs, if you believe everything she says, you'll be deceived."

  Guan Xinyue's nanny? I was taken aback, Ye Qing and Li Cheng mentioned this woman with an unspoken understanding. What kind of person is she? Why did Ye Qing emphasize that she's a gossipmonger? Does the nanny know something?

  Ye Qing was indeed a sensitive person, seeing that I didn't speak up, after a while she said: "That nanny, named Zhu Ling, actually... knows our family's old Li. The two families had some connections in the past, but later on they didn't have much to do with each other. I think she might... not be too fond of me, and since she doesn't have much culture, it's natural that she likes to gossip about others."

  My intuition was right, Ye Qing is a sharp-tongued but also very good at hiding her true self woman. But these words absolutely cannot be spoken out loud, I just nodded my head.

  The conversation couldn't end like this, although I could tell Ye Qing wanted me to leave immediately. I suddenly felt someone staring at me. Turning around, I saw the gardener who was pruning flowers outside the door, now trimming the peach tree facing the window.

  "He's a handyman in this villa district, quite skilled too." Ye Qing let out a soft sigh and continued: "A person's life is really predetermined from birth. Look at him, he's also very intelligent, but because he was born into an ordinary family with many children, his parents didn't have enough money to support his education, so he had to start working early to support the family... it's really pitiful..."

  "What's his name?" The words spoken by Ye Qing moved me, I got up and came to the bedside, casually asking a few more questions.

  But Ye Qing's attitude became somewhat strange, she hesitated for a moment, but that was only an instant thing, she nodded quickly, as if in thought, deliberately prolonging her voice: "I'm not too clear either, but I heard others call him Taizi."

  Can the gap between people be so big? Looking at that slender figure, and thinking of Li Cheng, that rough and fat man, it really makes one feel that fate is not always fair. However, this is not the time to dwell on these thoughts. It seems that Ye Qing won't get much useful information here for now, it's time to go see that woman called Zhu Ayi, she is also one of Guan Xinyue's closest relatives. She used to be an old acquaintance of the Li family, maybe I can still get some useful information from her mouth?
