"No way? You mean to say..." Duo Tianjun didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant. Liu Yuning then brought up the matter of the will, to which he chuckled and said, "Look at our security, how could anyone have an opportunity? That person can't harm me!"
"But Mr. Duo Tianjun, those related to the will might all be in danger now."
"It's fine, I'll just assign more bodyguards. Don't worry so much. If you're looking for Miss Luo Yi, I'll give you an address."
Since he was so calm, we had no choice but to take the address and go find her, as we were here to find that woman in the first place.
Leaving the photo studio, we took a taxi to Miss Luo Yi's residence. To our surprise, her home wasn't very large; it looked like a typical bungalow. However, the walls surrounding the house were adorned with artistic oil paintings.
The courtyard was planted with many Brazilian woods and some peach and plum trees, all meticulously maintained. It was evident that Miss Luo Yi cherished these plants. On the edge of the living room, a simple doghouse was built, and a Teddy bear poked its head out, curiously looking at us.
When we knocked, there was no response from inside, as if Miss Luo Yi wasn't home at all.
We knocked a few more times, but the result was the same. We started to feel uneasy. Gao Mingqiang, behind us, actually wanted to back up a few steps and use his wheelchair to ram the door open. If I hadn't stopped him, we would have likely been accused of trespassing.
"What are you doing? Don't be so impulsive, let's wait a bit longer!" I said, firmly pressing his shoulder. Gao Mingqiang, however, impatiently retorted, "What if something has happened to the person inside? If we continue like this, it will delay the investigation!"
"You don't think so?" I was saying when, with a click, the previously sealed door slowly creaked open. A strange scent of violets wafted into our nostrils. The smell felt somewhat familiar, yet I couldn't recall it for a moment. Seeing the door open, we cautiously walked in, calling out Miss Luo Yi's name.
But there was still no response from inside. We could see that the entire living room had been converted into a fitting room, with many Lolita-designed outfits hanging everywhere, in various colors and styles, displayed side by side in the living room.
Initially, due to the dim light, I thought the figures standing before us were mannequins. Fortunately, Xiahou turned on the lights, and upon clearly seeing the scene, everyone finally relaxed their tense nerves. Then, Gao Mingqiang wheeled himself in front of the Lolita dresses, and we followed, observing these exquisitely designed garments.
Judging by the colors, styles, and craftsmanship, these dresses were clearly made by highly professional designers, or rather, tailors. As we were still admiring the beauty before us, we heard faint footsteps in the room.
A slender man in white, holding a needle and thread, walked out. He wore silver-rimmed glasses, his short hair was dark and lustrous, and his pupils seemed to emit a blue light. His nose was high and straight, making him look unmistakably English.
"Hello, sir!" I said. Noticing a stranger had entered, he didn't seem surprised but instead asked curiously, "Several of you, are you Miss Luo Yi's guests? Are you here to pick up some clothes?"
Upon hearing this, I immediately played along, "That's right, are you Miss Luo Yi's tailor?"
"Yes, Miss Luo Yi has some business at the company today, so I'm home alone!"
I could tell this man was not young. He seemed a bit nervous when mentioning Miss Luo Yi, and his face turned slightly red. If I wasn't mistaken, his relationship with Miss Luo Yi was not simple.
"Is that so? Then we'll have to go to the company to see Miss Luo Yi?" He Xin said at this point.
"If you're just here to pick up clothes, you don't need to bother with her. Just tell me your order number."
He gave a professional smile and gestured for us to proceed.
We weren't there to pick up any clothes, so we could only show our police badges and explain our purpose. Upon learning our identities, he was slightly surprised and said, "What's wrong? What do you want to investigate?"
"Nothing, Elder Mrs. Durag passed away recently, right? Because..."
I explained the situation at Director Gan's house to him. This man then told us, "No way? My name is Lu Yuanjia. If Luo Yi were in danger, then I would too..."
"What is it, Mr. Lu? Do you have a close relationship with her?" Gao Mingqiang, who had clearly noticed something, deliberately asked with narrowed eyes.
Lu Yuanjia coughed, his straight nose twitching slightly. He no longer intended to hide it, saying, "Actually, I am her boyfriend. I've heard a little about the will, but I didn't expect the situation to be so serious. No, I need to go to the company to see Luo Yi!"
"Then let's go together! I hope everyone will be safe," Liu Yuning replied.
About ten minutes later, we followed Lu Yuanjia to Luo Yi's design company. The environment here was truly fresh and natural, with artistic colors everywhere, looking like an ideal place for designers to work. If I were a designer, I would probably fall in love with this environment on my first day. Indeed, it was a company opened by a famous designer. I thought Durag must have had profound achievements in design during his lifetime.
Upon arriving at Miss Luo Yi's office, she saw Lu Yuanjia. This woman, with a figure like an angel, blue-tinted eyes, and long, curly chestnut hair like waves, her delicate face resembling that of a sprite, gently held Lu Yuanjia's hand and said, "Yuanjia, why are you here?"
"These police officers said that Director Gan's daughter has been murdered!"
"What? Police officers? What's going on, everyone?"
I explained what had happened at the Forensic Medicine Academy to Miss Luo Yi. At that moment, she exclaimed in horror, "How could this be? Qian Lu is gone? Am I dreaming?"
As she spoke, Luo Yi couldn't help but lower her eyes, tears like a bursting dam streaming down wildly. Her neck trembled irregularly, and droplets of crystal tears slid down her neck, creating small ripples when they reached the ground.
"Miss Luo Yi, I hope you can calm down. Judging by your reaction, you must have been close to Gan Qianlu!" Liu Yuning comforted her and then asked, but Luo Yi seemed unable to answer for a moment.
