Twenty. Li Bin's confusion

  Li Bin shook his head: "No, I heard it from Xinyue. Moreover, according to Xinyue, Ye Qing is not a person who loves children very much. Every day, she dresses herself up beautifully just to try and win back Li Cheng's heart. Alas, such a shallow woman only knows how to idle around and wait for death. If she really gets divorced, what can she do? Probably she'll just hang on the wall and drink the northwest wind."

  No matter how much I don't want to admit it, but the Li Bin in front of me is indeed different from before. As soon as Guan Xinyue is mentioned, his emotions instantly lose control. Who knows how much he loves Guan Xinyue, that mysterious and beautiful woman? More importantly, even Li Cheng is infatuated with her. Ye Qing, as Li Cheng's wife, absolutely cannot sit back and do nothing. But Ye Qing is not a fool either, after knowing that Guan Xinyue is the bottom line that Li Cheng cannot touch no matter what, how could she still do something stupid? However, to say it again, someone like Ye Qing, even if they reluctantly accept Guan Xinyue's existence, would absolutely not be willing to give up. She indeed has a motive, but the problem lies in the fact that she and Li Cheng can vouch for each other, proving that they were at home when Guan Xinyue was harmed. This is also the reason why I initially dispelled my suspicions.

  Here is the translation:

  "Now that you mention Li Bin again, I first shook my head with a bitter smile, and after a while, I reluctantly sighed: "Okay, I'll listen to your opinion. She does have a motive, but do you have evidence? If not, it's just suspicion. You know how the police handle cases, this is the most important thing."

  "I knew you'd say that. When I was in school, I heard a saying that money can make ghosts grind mills. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Are you guys..." Li Bin said indignantly.

  I shook my head with a wry smile: "Things aren't as you think. Do you still think you're living in ancient times? With so many people handling the case at the same time, how could the situation be as you said? You have your own suspicions, then speak up. Groundless conjectures can only delay the investigation and might even let the real culprit get away scot-free."

  Li Bin fell silent, perhaps because of my attitude, or maybe it was because he had finally found someone to confide in and after pouring out his heart, he suddenly became calm. After a long while, he sighed and said: "Alright. I suspect Ye Qing isn't without reason. Because Guan Xinyue once said that Ye Qing doesn't really love Li Cheng either, she's only with him for the money. I've heard the Ye family is very materialistic, who knows what she'll do for money?"

  "What you said is not wrong." I have been in close contact with Ye Qing before, how can I not understand her character? Her temperament looks very gentle, but the fact is not so. However, I think that she and Li Cheng are together, there must be too many things beyond their control. In the past, it was because of Li Cheng's appearance, but now, more is the fear of losing him. After all, Li Cheng has already had a good family background, if she leaves him, she can't live such a luxurious life as before. What's even more deadly is that since Li Cheng is willing to spend money to investigate Ye Qing, it means he already suspects Ye Qing. Ye Qing is a sensitive and suspicious woman, how could she not feel anything?

  But for this murder, is it possible? Although there was a motive, but still no evidence. I shook my head, "This doesn't seem to explain anything. Unless you have some clues..."

  "Clues? That's what you police should be doing, not continuing to pester me here. What about Shao Yin? Wasn't she the first one to appear there? Why don't you ask her, maybe she knows something, or even... maybe she's the murderer..." Li Bin's expression was somewhat distorted, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with my ambiguous attitude.

  Shao Yin had become a murderer in Li Bin's heart? A murderer who killed the woman he loved? Their past love had turned into enmity? I looked at Li Bin with some helplessness and shook my head: "Shao Yin is indeed suspicious, but she's not the murderer. In theory, it's impossible for her to be the murderer. Moreover, what benefit would she gain from killing Guan Xinyue?"

  "Not bad. What you said is not bad. Even if Xinyue died, Li Cheng would not marry her. Someone like her who only loves money..." Li Bin said indignantly, no need to ask, at this time he had completely forgotten the past with Shao Yin.

  "Do you think there's a difference between Guan Xinyue and her?" I couldn't tolerate Li Bin using such vicious language to describe Shao Yin - after all, she was my friend. "What we need to discuss now is not who is more materialistic than whom, but a matter of life and death. Can't you calm down and think about it? Don't assume that Guan Xinyue loves you as much as you think. She's not as noble as you think, and the debt you think you owe her, such as that child, might not have been yours to begin with."

  "Isn't it mine?" This time Li Bin was shocked. Originally talking non-stop, he suddenly seemed to have become a fool, staring at me blankly for half a day before saying: "What did you say? If it's mine, how could I not know? She..."

  "Gu Xinyue has something hidden from you." Li Bin's reaction was far beyond my expectation. However, thinking about it again, Gu Xinyue still knew how to grasp a man's thoughts, she left Li Bin with a perfect turn, that's why he couldn't forget her. If I wanted to get more clues from Li Bin, the first thing I had to do was break his defense. I paused for a moment and said softly: "You can't really have no doubts at all? Gu Xinyue's child, it was aborted on January 1st this year or last year's New Year's Eve. According to her nanny, the child should be around two months old at that time. Normally, if you want to confirm the existence of the child, it would take at least one and a half months of pregnancy. Are you sure that child is yours?"

  "What did you say? She... cheated me? Are you sure?" Li Bin stared at me with a shocked face.

  I nodded solemnly: "There won't be any mistake. The nanny who took care of her is certain that she was taking care of Guan Xinyue during the New Year's Day period. If you don't believe it, you can ask in person. I think there should be other evidence."

  "Is that child really Li Cheng's? She deceived me?" Li Bin had a puzzled look on his face, he was clearly not too convinced of this conclusion.

  I was also surprised and shook my head, saying: "Li Cheng... it's highly unlikely that he would get her pregnant, because he is simply infertile. The probability of Guan Xinyue becoming pregnant with his child is roughly equivalent to the probability of a planet colliding with Earth."
