Chapter 57 The most poisonous woman’s heart
Could it be... could it be that all these raw stones contain jade?
In his entire life of stone cutting, he had never encountered such an incredible sight.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. Ten pieces, twenty pieces, thirty pieces... jades emerged one after another like mushrooms after a rain.
Xu Kai and others have gone from initial shock to deep numbness.
As for Zhao Ziqing, she looked at the pile of jadeite, her eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future.
To her, these jades are not only a symbol of wealth, but also the wings for the company's take-off.
"How about it? Am I right? Every piece is delicious." Lin Fan held a cigarette in his mouth, a hint of pride in his smile.
"Yeah." Zhao Ziqing nodded slightly. She resisted the urge to ask Lin Fan how he did it.
Everyone has their own secret garden, and she is unwilling to touch that unknown area.
"Is there any place in Ancheng that sells raw stones? If so, I can accompany you there again." Lin Fan suggested. He was thinking about absorbing spiritual energy to practice again, and he also didn't mind getting some jade back.
Maybe if Zhao Ziqing is so happy, she will really marry him?
Just as he was thinking, Zhao Ziqing's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the moment of peace.
"What?" Zhao Ziqing's face changed suddenly the moment he answered the phone.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fan keenly noticed her abnormality.
"The police called and said Xu Gaoyuan is dead." Zhao Ziqing's voice trembled slightly.
"Xu Gaoyuan is dead?" Lin Fan widened his eyes in pretended surprise, but in fact he was not surprised.
He had asked Zhao Ziqing to call the police so that the matter could be brought to a complete end. Now that the police had informed him of Xu Gaoyuan's death, it was exactly what he wanted.
As for whether he could be traced back to him, he wasn't worried at all. He had acted cautiously and left no trace. Furthermore, he had a perfect alibi.
"The police will come to investigate the situation soon." Zhao Ziqing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"How could he die suddenly?" Lin Fan asked in confusion.
"Could it be that he committed suicide because he felt guilty?" He tentatively put forward a hypothesis.
"Guilty? How could he know we'd discovered him? And even if he knew, he wouldn't commit suicide, right?" Zhao Ziqing said this, suddenly staring at Lin Fan with a sharp gaze. "Could his death have anything to do with you?"
"Oh, you can't say that!" Lin Fan's expression suddenly changed. "How does his matter have anything to do with me?"
"Your behavior today is indeed a bit strange." Zhao Ziqing lowered her voice. "Calling the police isn't like you."
"Just imagine, if it was really me who did it, would I let you call the police so easily?" Lin Fan asked back.
"Theoretically, no." Zhao Ziqing nodded thoughtfully.
"What kind of theory is that? We've been together since yesterday. How could I have the time to do that kind of thing?" Lin Fan pretended to be aggrieved.
"That's right." Zhao Ziqing nodded, then suddenly remembered something, "You didn't sneak out in the middle of the night, did you?"
"Zhao Ziqing, Zhao Ziqing, we have no grudges against each other. Please don't push me into this fire pit." Lin Fan looked furious. "Even if you want to cancel the engagement, you wouldn't treat me like a murderer, right? Women are truly the most vicious!"
"That's not what I meant. As long as it's not you, that's fine." Zhao Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want Xu Gaoyuan's affairs to have anything to do with Lin Fan. For some reason, she always felt that Lin Fan might really do something like that.
Xu Gaoyuan's incident had a significant impact on Zhao Ziqing's mood. Even facing the jadeite in front of her, she could hardly regain her previous excitement. Even after unearthing several top-grade jadeite pieces, she still felt like a heavy stone was weighing on her heart.
Less than half an hour later, Lin Shan called, informing them that the police had come to their door. "The police are here, let's go check it out," Zhao Ziqing said, instructing Xu Kai and Shao Ying to remain on guard.
Back in the office, Zhao Ziqing introduced herself to the visiting police officer and also noticed the deputy captain of the criminal police brigade named Xu Qingxue.
She had heard of this name before and knew that she was a leader in the Ancheng police force. Xu Qingxue was also sizing up Zhao Ziqing; she had long heard of this most beautiful woman in Ancheng.
At this moment, Lin Fan, who was following behind Zhao Ziqing, unconsciously let his gaze fall on Xu Qingxue's chest, and he secretly marveled inwardly. He had to admit that when a normal man looks at a woman, the first thing he sees is her face, and the second glance often falls on a more eye-catching part of her body.
After the pleasantries, Xu Qingxue began to inquire about Xu Gaoyuan's situation. Zhao Ziqing answered each question, while also expressing his own doubts and confusion. However, during the conversation, Lin Fan noticed that Xu Qingxue's gaze occasionally shifted towards him, as if secretly observing his reaction.
When Xu Qingxue mentioned that two other bodies were found at the scene besides Xu Gaoyuan, Zhao Ziqing showed a surprised expression. She asked if there were any clues, but Xu Qingxue said that the investigation was still ongoing.
Xu Qingxue then began to inquire about Zhao Ziqing's whereabouts the previous night, seemingly wanting to confirm whether she was involved in the case. Zhao Ziqing frankly replied that she was at home last night and suggested that Lin Fan could testify for her.
At this time, Lin Shan just brought in tea. When she heard this unexpected "big secret", she almost spilled the tea in her hand.
Faced with Xu Qingxue's questioning, Lin Fan seemed somewhat helpless. He pointed out that Xu Qingxue's question was somewhat irrelevant and suggested that she should focus on finding the real culprit instead of wasting time here. Xu Qingxue's face darkened upon hearing this, clearly displeased with Lin Fan's rebuttal.
However, Lin Fan didn't stop there. He murmured his dissatisfaction with Xu Qingxue quietly, his voice soft but loud enough for everyone present to hear. Xu Qingxue was completely enraged. She glared at Lin Fan, as if to pierce him with her eyes.
Facing Xu Qingxue's fury, Lin Fan remained remarkably calm. He calmly pointed out that Xu Qingxue should focus on finding the real culprit instead of groundlessly suspecting others. He also suggested that if the police had evidence, they could arrest the perpetrators directly; if they didn't, they should leave.
Zhao Ziqing echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that she has cooperated with the police investigation and hopes they can find the real culprit as soon as possible. She added that she is always willing to help if the police make any new discoveries or require further assistance.
Finally, Xu Qingxue and the other police officers left the office. Before leaving, Lin Fan specifically reminded Xu Qingxue to notify them if she found out Xu Gaoyuan's purpose for installing the eavesdropping device.
