Chu Lan was stunned for a moment, "What memory card is it? The one in the camera?"

Qiao Xi also became nervous, "Could it be that the camera was really not turned off at the time, and then my father threw the memory card into the fish tank? That's why he told me about the baby goldfish several times."

Chu Lan slapped Tang Jin and said, "Hurry up and tell me."

Tang Jin was also a little excited. "He said that the memory card might have been soaked in water for too long. He took a lot of effort to restore some of the images, so the content that can be seen is very little and not very clear."

"The camera must have fallen to the ground at that time, and it captured the scene of Aunt Tang lying on the ground with a knife stuck in her chest. A man squatted next to her with his hand on the dagger in his chest. The man was wearing dark pants and black leather shoes. There was a scar on his left chin, and his face could not be seen."

"He said that he handed the memory card to the police station at the time. The police later responded and said that the person was Qiao Jinnian, and that Qiao Jinnian had committed suicide out of fear of punishment. They asked him not to mention the matter again to avoid causing panic."

Qiao Xi, "Nonsense, where did my father's scar on his chin come from?"

Tang Jin, "I guess the police said this on purpose to cover up something. Maybe the police were in cahoots with the mastermind who murdered Aunt Tang."

"The memory card can only display a limited amount of images. That's all I got from him: a man with a scar on his chin."

Chu Lan, "Do you think it has something to do with the Long Group?"

Qiao Xi nodded, "It's possible. I heard the doorbell at that time. In other words, the murderer should be someone my parents knew. He came in directly after my mother opened the door."

Chu Lan, "Maybe, this person is in the Long Group?"

Qiao Xi, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

She has already joined the Long Group, and then she can see who has a scar on his chin.

"Let's have a drink? We don't have to go to work tomorrow anyway." Tang Jin poured a few glasses of wine and called to order some skewers to be delivered.

The three of them ate and chatted, drank some wine, ate some barbecue, and sang a few songs when they were happy. It was very comfortable.

Qiao Xi's phone rang. It was Long Junye calling. "Where are you?"

"I'm in the Night Palace with Chu Lan and Tang Jin. Where are you?"

Long Junye was also in the Night Palace, with Gao Han, Ling Ruofan, and a few friends. "Okay, I'll call you when I leave."

"You are also in the Night Palace?" Qiao Xi had not finished speaking when he hung up the phone.

"This man, can't he bear to say a few more words?" Qiao Xi put her phone on the coffee table and went to find a few songs to sing.

She has a great voice and sings beautifully, even as well as those professional singers.

Gu Wen Qian sat downstairs for a while, still thinking about Long Yuchen, and returned to the second floor. When she pushed open the door of the box, Long Yuchen was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, motionless.

Gu Wenqian hurried over and sat next to him, "Brother Yuchen, are you okay? What happened to you?"

Long Yuchen was not asleep. He was still digesting the failure he encountered at Minister Li's house this morning. "What are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you to leave?"

"Brother Yuchen, what's wrong with you? Tell me, maybe I can help share your burden." Gu Wen Qian had prepared a gift for him to celebrate, but she didn't dare to take it out when she saw him like this.

"You help me? What can you use to help me?" Long Yuchen became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. "Do you think you are Qiao Xi?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Wenqian was confused. "You mean, I'm not as good as Qiao Xi?"

Long Yuchen drank a lot, his head was heavy, and he spoke aggressively, "Do you have anything that can compare to her?"

"How can you say that to me? What's so good about Qiao Xi? She's just a country bumpkin, and you compare me to her?" Gu Wen Qian was puzzled. Why did he admire Qiao Xi so much?

"That's right, you can't compare because you don't deserve it."

Gu Wenqian was still in pain, with kiss marks all over her body. She had just served him, and in the blink of an eye he treated her like this. She was also angry and slapped Long Yuchen hard, "You are so heartless, I treat you so well, and you say I am not worthy?! It is Qiao Xi who is not worthy to compare with me, don't make a mistake!"

"Are you sick?" Long Yuchen grabbed her hands and dragged her to the door, opened the door, pushed her out, and then slammed the door shut.

"Long Yuchen!" Gu Wen Qian lay on the ground feeling more aggrieved than ever before. When she turned around, she found Qiao Xi looking at her.

Qiao Xi just came out to answer the phone and was a little surprised. Was Gu Wen Qian thrown out by Long Yuchen?

"What are you looking at!" Gu Wen Qian struggled to get up from the ground, staring at Qiao Xi viciously, as if it was Qiao Xi who humiliated her.

Qiao Xi turned around and continued chatting with her senior brother with her back to her.

Gu Wen Qian was in a dilemma. If she went back to the box, she was afraid of being scolded by Long Yuchen. But if she left now, she was afraid of being looked down upon by Qiao Xi. She had to put on an act and stood at the door shouting.

"Long Yuchen, I admit that I was a little too harsh on you just now, but you suddenly proposed to me and I was not prepared at all. It's normal for me to hit you, right? I'm a girl, what's wrong with being willful?"

She was actually performing for Qiao Xi.

But she had just said half of her words when the door of the box opened. Hearing her nonsense, Long Yuchen looked disgusted.

"Yu, Brother Yuchen... I..." Gu Wen Qian was a little at a loss.

Long Yuchen didn't even want to look at her, he just walked around her and walked straight away. He had just received a call from Yue Mingzhu asking him to go back quickly to discuss countermeasures.

Gu Wenqian followed behind, "Brother Yuchen, wait for me..."

When passing by Qiao Xi, he deliberately bumped into her hard.

Qiao Xi wasn't paying attention and her body suddenly tilted to one side. She tried to hold onto the wall but failed to hold on firmly, and her body fell backwards. Just as she was about to fall, a strong force caught her steadily.

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, and she actually fell into Long Junye's arms. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his arms were strong and he held her tightly.

Qiao Xi slowed down, looked up at him, met his deep eyes, and leaned into his arms.

Long Junye reminded, "Can you get up now?"

Qiao Xi liked his embrace, it was very warm and had his unique scent, and she was a little reluctant to leave.

Before hanging up the phone, Ling He's low, magnetic and caring voice came from the line, "Xiao Xi, are you okay? Hello? Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Long Junye frowned and glanced at the phone in her hand.

Qiao Xi stood up quickly and said to the phone, "I'm fine. That's it for now. I'll call you another day."

After that, he hung up the phone.

"Who are you calling?" Long Junye frowned slightly and asked lightly.

Qiao Xi's eyes were a little evasive. She didn't want to lie to him, but she didn't want to reveal her identity either. "A... a friend."

Long Junye, "Boyfriend?"

"Male...friend," Qiao Xi adjusted her mood and tried to avoid the topic, "Just now...thank you, by the way, why are you here?"

Long Junye was still dwelling on the question he had just asked, "You have a lot of male... friends?"

I mentioned Tang Jin before, are there any others?
