Yao Zhiyue came to the orphanage again, but only got a reply that the dean had not returned. She hesitated, planning to wait for Chen Yiming here, confess to him the reason for coming here, and ask him if he had any new clues by the way.

Ten minutes later, the familiar Land Rover slowly drove into Yao Zhiyue's field of vision. She hurriedly walked out of the side of the road and kept waving.

Chen Yiming suddenly saw Yao Zhiyue appear here, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then slowly parked the car beside her.

Yao Zhiyue opened the door of the passenger seat and sat in, and said straight to the point: "I heard the news from my former colleague two days ago that Ms. Song had come here when she was alive, so I came here to find out if there were any new clues." ”

Chen Yiming hummed lightly, his sharp eyes were covered with a layer of gloom, and there was no clue on his face, but the coldness emanating from his body made Yao Zhiyue uneasy.

The car went around a mountain bay, and Chen Yiming still didn't say a word. From time to time, Yao Zhiyue's afterglow sneaked into Chen Yiming's face, and he didn't know what he heard from that woman's mouth, which would make him feel like he met for the first time - as if the deep sea was calm on the surface, but there was an undercurrent under the deep sea.

Yao Zhiyue took a deep breath, tried to break the silence, and asked softly, "Why are you here?" ”

Chen Yiming's gaze was a little flickering, and he replied absentmindedly: "Come and find someone." ”

Yao Zhiyue listened to Chen Yiming's vague words, as if she understood his mood at this time, nodded and stopped talking. Although she wanted to know what the person he was looking for had told him, as it involved new clues, she decided to wait silently.

As the cars drove out of Kiyotaek District, they were overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the city. Chen Yiming finally spoke, only to hear him ask slowly, "Have you found a clue?" ”

Yao Zhiyue's face was shrouded in a layer of gloom, shook his head, and replied in a low voice: "I haven't seen the dean there all along, and I haven't asked or found anything yet." ”

"Don't go there anymore."

Yao Zhiyue turned her head to look at Chen Yiming, couldn't hide the surprise between her eyebrows, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

The red light at the intersection in front of him turned on, Chen Yiming slowly stopped the car, and then quietly took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Yao Zhiyue, and said in a deep voice: "Kang Rou was still called Lin Qiyao when she was in the Changtai Mountain Orphanage. ”

Yao Zhiyue looked at the yellowed old photo in her hand, and what caught her eye was a little girl with a double ponytail, who looked like she should be five or six years old. Her eyes were timid, like a frightened fawn staring at the source of danger.

Yao Zhiyue's hand trembled slightly, her apricot eyes widened, and the scarlet mole at the corner of the little girl's eyebrows was like a close-up shot of a movie, constantly dilating towards her pupils.

She looked up at Chen Yiming, restrained the excitement and curiosity in her heart, and asked in a daze, "Have you found her?" ”

The green light turned on, Chen Yiming stepped on the accelerator, looked ahead, and replied in a deep voice: "No." ”

Yao Zhiyue had too many questions in her mind for a while, her eyes stared at Chen Yiming tightly, and she blurted out: "Is this photo given to you by that lady?" ”

Chen Yiming glanced at Yao Zhiyue, and then looked ahead intently, his eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and he said coldly: "How do you know?" ”

Yao Zhiyue's expression was open, her eyes were broad, and she told Chen Yiming the truth about what she saw in the small business district.

The coldness in Chen Yiming's eyes gradually dissipated, turned the car around, and said tepidly: "The lady I saw is the dean you are looking for." ”

A look of shock appeared on Yao Zhiyue's face, she was sure that she hadn't told Chen Yiming about it. I heard her ask in surprise, "How did you find her?" ”

Chen Yiming raised his eyebrows and said quietly: "The night I took you to my house, I found the contact information on my father's mobile phone. After a pause, he continued: "I just didn't expect that it wasn't the woman he went to meet. ”

Yao Zhiyue suddenly realized, no wonder Chen Yiming wanted to take her to see Chen Songling that day. However, listening to his meaning, it seemed that even he was quite shocked that the person Chen Songling saw was the director of the orphanage.

Yao Zhiyue sorted out her thoughts for a while, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, the dean not only knows Kang Rou, but also knows Ms. Song and the chairman, and she is the one who knows best what is going on in the middle. ”

Chen Yiming let out a light wry smile, his eyebrows and eyes overflowed with a trace of deep tiredness, and his deep voice seemed to be playing the lonely guqin, and said slowly: "Things are not so simple. ”

Yao Zhiyue frowned, her eyes were still locked on Chen Yiming's handsome face that couldn't see any clues, trying to see some emotions from it, but she found nothing, and she couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

After thinking for a moment, Yao Zhiyue no longer dwelled on the truth that had been revealed countless layers but was still hidden behind it, and asked softly, "Do you think the truth is important to you?" Even if it gets you involved in very complicated and troublesome things. ”

Chen Yiming's eyes instantly condensed, and it took a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Before this, I just wanted to figure out one thing. However, after I learned that my mom was more than just suicide, I decided to do whatever it took to find the truth. ”

Yao Zhiyue was dumbfounded, and asked woodenly: "You, are you saying that Ms. Song may have plotted and murdered?" ”

Chen Yiming was noncommittal, and Jun's face was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Yao Zhiyue hadn't come to her senses yet, she would never have thought that unknowingly, she would be involved in a murder case. The reason why she went all out was out of duty, and on the other hand, she didn't want to owe Chen Yiming a favor.

However, if she had known that she had waded into troubled waters, she would probably have fled. She is just an ordinary person struggling in the middle ground of survival and development, and has no capital to take risks.

Yao Zhiyue is not afraid to admit that even if life is so difficult, she is really greedy for life and afraid of death. However, she was already difficult to ride a tiger, and she was a pawn who crossed the river, so she could only move forward.

Yao Zhiyue took a deep breath, and the out-of-body soul gradually returned to its place, looking at Chen Yiming with clear eyes, her tone was less flustered and more determined, "Do you think Kang Rou is a suspect?" ”

"It's not that I think, it's that all the signs are showing." Chen Yiming quickly regained his calm mood, but the suspicion between his eyebrows could not dissipate, and his voice was a little fluctuating, "My mother has actually been inquiring about Kang Rou's news. ”

Yao Zhiyue was very shocked, and only felt that she had at least controlled the cause and effect of the incident before, and had a well-founded control of the situation. But now all these causes and consequences have been disrupted and turned into a mess.

"I'm a little confused, if Ms. Song knew about Kang Rou's existence, she wouldn't have had to entrust my former company to investigate and collect evidence. Judging from my contact with Ms. Song, she didn't know that the woman the chairman was looking for was Kang Rou. ”

Chen Yiming's face was gloomy, his thin lips were tightly closed, as if he was thinking, and he said after a long time: "My mother should not know that Kang Rou and Lin Qiyao are the same person. ”

Yao Zhiyue followed Chen Yiming's train of thought and said: "Therefore, the chairman actually doesn't know what connection there is between Ms. Song and Kang Rou, or Lin Qiyao. ”

Yao Zhiyue suddenly thought carefully and let out a low cry, her little face turned pale in an instant, just in time to meet Chen Yiming's gaze. She accurately captured the fleeting horror on Chen Yiming's face, and this was the first time Yao Zhiyue had seen such a look on his face.

Yao Zhiyue and Chen Yiming didn't say it, but they knew each other.
