Not long after hanging up the phone, the dinner party came to an end. The table was filled with people who had drunk quite a bit, especially Tian Ling and Jin Zi Meng, who were both thoroughly intoxicated. Jiang Zhichao supported Jin Zi Meng, while Zhou Zishuo helped Tian Ling. Zong Zeyu escorted them out of the restaurant.
Zhou Zishuo and Tian Ling got into the car first, but at that moment, Jiang Zhichao suddenly felt nauseous and rushed to a tree root to vomit. With no other choice, Zong Zeyu struggled to help the drunken Jin Zi Meng into the business vehicle.
Meanwhile, Tong Le, Zong Jin, and Wen were settling the bill at the bar in the restaurant. Outside, by the roadside, Zong Zeyu finally managed to get Jin Zi Meng into the car. He noticed a figure hidden in the bushes across the small road, stealthily taking photos.
After handling matters at the restaurant, the business vehicle drove away one after another. Tong Le, Zong Zeyu, Wen, and Zong Jin all shared the same car. At that moment, a call came in for Tong Le from her lawyer.
Once connected, lawyer Xiang Dai said, “Miss Tong, I’ve met with Mr. Mo. You don’t need to come to see him today; it’s too late. You can meet him at the police station tomorrow instead. I’ve gathered some information about Miss Lan’s case, and it’s not looking good for her.”
Tong Le asked, “What about Wan Zhang’s death? How can it be proven that Lan Qingqing killed him?”
The lawyer hesitated. “Wan Zhang died from poisoning; there are needle marks on his neck, but we haven’t confirmed those marks as the cause of death yet. Under permission, Lan Qingqing secretly entered Wan Zhang’s home and then fled. Several surveillance cameras in the house captured her presence. Additionally, there was an eyewitness—a cleaning staff from the community—who saw Lan Qingqing running out of the villa. Afterward, when checking inside Wan Zhang’s bedroom, they found lipstick left by Lan Qingqing. All this evidence is quite damaging for Miss Lan.”
Tong Le questioned further, “What was Lan Qingqing’s motive for murder? And regarding the needle marks on Wan Zhang’s neck—if he was poisoned, where is the poison? Where is the needle? Where are these crucial pieces of evidence? You mentioned there are cameras all over Wan Jia; were there any in the bedroom? Did they capture Lan Qingqing during the murder? Also, I find it hard to believe that Wan Zhang lived in a villa without any servants. The door wasn’t locked? How could Lan Qingqing just slip in so openly? And that cleaning staff—what a coincidence that she happened to be at Wan Jia’s doorstep?”
The lawyer replied, “I’ve noted everything you said; I will do my best to advocate for Miss Lan.”
Tong Le added, “There’s something I need you to investigate discreetly—look into Ke Wenjie. I’ll send you his details shortly. Ke Wenjie is Hua Rongxiao’s lover and was kept by Hua Rongxiao behind Wan Zhang’s back. Furthermore, Hua Rongxiao and Wan Zhang had only recently married when Wan Zhang's son Winston mysteriously died—he was Wan Jia's only heir.”
The lawyer was puzzled. “So how does Ke Wenjie relate to this case?”
Tong Le clarified, “Ke Wenjie and Lan Qingqing were once in a relationship; Lan Qingqing just had a child with him. Moreover, Lan Qingqing's face was disfigured by Hua Rongxiao's cosmetic surgery institution, so it’s possible that jealousy plays a role here.”
The lawyer drew out his words thoughtfully. “It seems quite complicated; this case now has more angles to explore.”
Tong Le said urgently, “Our priority is to get Lan Qingqing out of this situation; I’m counting on you.”
After hanging up the phone, Wen turned her head in confusion. “Why are you helping Lan Qingqing? Don’t you hate her? Even if she’s wronged, why not use Hua Rongxiao’s influence to eliminate her?”
Tong Le replied, “You’re thinking too simply. Keeping Lan Qingqing around is beneficial for us; she can help with Wu Youyou's case and our plan to deal with Ke Wenjie.”
Tong Le was deep in thought, but what intrigued me the most were the words spoken by Mo Kai Liang. He claimed to have evidence that could prove Ke Wenjie and Hua Rongxiao guilty, which I found quite curious. Wen reminded me to trust no one and to keep my wits about me.
