Jian Yao takes her chair and places it in entrance of him.  She sits together with her palms folded, resting on her knees and smiles sweetly: “Please clarify.” 

– Oh…  so docile…. a pleasant change.

Bo Jinyan’s thoughts is considering different issues: “Final Wednesday …… What did now we have for breakfast?”

Jian Yao appears to be like at him in shock. 

– What does that must do with this case?  Wednesday… breakfast…

Jian Yao:  “Fish dumplings.”

It was her first time attempting to make them.  It’s fairly a tedious course of.  She doesn’t intend to make them once more.

Bo Jinyan: “Tomorrow,  I need to have it for breakfast once more.  And when you’ve got no objections, let’s get again to this case.”

Jian Yao: “……”

That’s like daylight theft! However why is she not indignant about it? 

As she has not objected to the concept, Bo Jinyan smiles:

“To start with, Mai Chen mentioned she was sporting a blue gown.  That’s her favorite color, she ought to hold it on when she dedicated suicide, however the police information present she died in a black gown.  The person she beloved confessed his like to her.  Even when she didn’t change her thoughts in regards to the suicide, it’s extremely unlikely she would change out of her fortunate color.  That’s not her character.  A timid lady like her will need some luck together with her on her method to loss of life.  

Secondly, her mom’s farewell cellphone name was made at 0:05am.  Mai Chen left round 0:30am, the second name to her mother was 0:40am, however it didn’t undergo.  If she didn’t change her thoughts, why name once more? To double the ache?  And it’s a really brief time after Mai Chen left. Probably the most logical conclusion is she gave up the concept of loss of life, and she or he needs to listen to the voice of her mom.

She wrote her final put up at 00:37am, however her loss of life was between 2:00-3:00am.  That is unreasonable.  Would she not write one final put up to say goodbye to Mai Chen? 

What did she does in these two hours earlier than she died?  She didn’t name her house, didn’t reject Mai Chen, didn’t write a weblog…And why did she select to take medication to die?  If the expertise of the final six months made her really feel soiled, why would she select such a grimy method to die?”

Bo Jinyan ends with this assertion: “That is too straightforward.  Subsequent time, please determine it out your self.  I’m born to unravel extra sophisticated circumstances than this.”

Jian Yao is digesting his phrases rigorously, then she appears to be like at him.

– Did he say… subsequent time?  

– There’s NOT going be a subsequent time.

She asks Bo Jinyan: “Do you assume Mai Chen’s phrases are dependable?” 

Bo Jinyan replies: “Sure.  Apart from, in keeping with Wang Wan Wei’s diary, her depressing life had nothing to do with Mai Chen.”

Bo Jinyan provides: “There’s yet another factor.  Mai Chen talked about she was sporting a pair of pearl earrings.  Within the post-mortem photographs, she wasn’t sporting something.  Go to the police station to test the proof to see if there’s a pair of earrings.”

Jian Yao: “Okay.”

Bo Jinyan picks up the cellphone: “I would like to speak to you now.”

After the opposite particular person has performed speaking, Bo Jinyan replies: “Then simply finish the assembly. Nothing is extra vital than a human life.” 

— —-—

Yin Ziqi is sporting a Chanel swimsuit in the present day. She sits within the couch of Bo Jinyan’s workplace and listens to the findings of the investigation.

Jian Yao did a lot of the speaking, as a result of Bo Jinyan mentioned: “I don’t need to repeat the identical phrases once more.” 

“…… So, we have to instantly notify the police, and droop all the work on this case.” Jian Yao concludes.

Yin Ziqi stays silent for a second, then appears to be like at them calmly: “Thanks for the invention, or I cannot know there’s a assassin in my firm. “

Jian Yao nods. 

Yin Ziqi continues: “Nevertheless, can we hold it low-key?  Why don’t you proceed with the investigation.  As soon as you discover out who’s the assassin, we are going to inform the police.  The media don’t must learn about this. ”

Jian Yao can perceive her considerations.  She is afraid of the impression on the enterprise. However like  Bo Jinyan says, it’s a human life.  A secret investigation may be very troublesome. 

Bo Jinyan: “No.”

The room falls silent.

After some time, Yin Ziqi says to Jian Yao: “Ms Jian, are you able to give us a couple of minutes by ourselves.”

–

Jian Yao will get out of Bo Jinyan’s workplace.

Supervisor Lin asks : ”Is the whole lot okay?”

“Oh sure.” Jian Yao replies, “The Chairman wants to speak to Director Bo in non-public.”

Jian Yao finds an empty seat.  Pei Ze glides his chair subsequent to hers: “Are you busy in the present day?”

Jian Yao appears to be like up and smiles: “I’m not certain, must test Director Bo’s schedule first.”

Pei Ze smiles at her: “There’s a brand new Cantonese restaurant that’s simply opened, wanna strive later?”

– Do not need bodily contact with them… drug addicts carries infectious illnesses…  do you not have any bone, let go of her….  She immediately remembers Bo Jinyan’s phrases

She has a candy smile on her face: “Sorry, I’m busy tonight.”

Pei Ze: “Boyfriend?”

Jian Yao doesn’t disagree.  She provides Pei Ze a smile.  He glides his chair again to his desk.

–

Yin Ziqi appears to be like at her brother.  She is a little bit disenchanted with him.  

She knew Bo Jinyan from younger.  He’s withdrawn, detached to everybody, together with her.  However they did spend quite a lot of time collectively.  They usually had some enjoyable occasions too. In highschool, she was the centre of consideration.  Bo Jinyan was the good-looking and gifted boy.  No person suspected they had been associated. However as soon as, her boyfriend cheated on her, she was devastated.  She cried and cried at house.  Bo Jinyan went to seek out the boy, and beat the crap out of him. 

Then he went to school to review legal psychology.  He by no means bothers to provoke contact together with her.  Generally she wonders if he has any emotions for anybody.  However  undeniably, she is the one girl who has been capable of stroll into his life.  And this reality had all the time introduced her an odd satisfaction and pleasure. However she is going to by no means hassle to analyst why she feels this fashion.  Is it as a result of she is a proud sister, or it’s greater than that.  Anyway, she has an excellent life, a fiancé that may be very good to her.  And he’s her solely brother.  That’s sufficient.

However Bo Jinyan has refused her request to her face, in entrance of an outsider. She is a little bit upset by it. 

Yin Ziqi says to him: “ It is a listed firm.  A homicide scandal will trigger our inventory value to drop dramatically.”

Bo Jinyan glances at her.

Yin Ziqi mentioned: “This firm is constructed by your father and my mom with their sweat and tears.  And now it’s my future and my life.  Are you able to stand by to see your sister’s life ruined?”

She sees that he’s nonetheless not satisfied. Yin Ziqi stands up from the sofa to stroll beside him. She places her hand on his shoulder : ”I don’t need you to droop the investigation, simply do it in secret.  It ought to be a bit of cake for you.  You’re so succesful.  I’ve by no means requested you for a favour in my life.  That is the primary time.  Simply this as soon as.  OK?“

–

Yin Ziqi walks out of Bo Jinyan’s workplace.  She is sporting a smile.  

All the staff stand as much as greet her: ”Simply had a chat with Director Bo.  he’s very happy with all of you.  Good job.  Stick with it.  Await the bonus on the finish of the 12 months.”

All people laughs.  Supervisor Lin sees her out.

Jian Yao returns to Bo Jinyan’s workplace.

“E-book two tickets for tomorrow morning.  We’re going to the resort for website exploration.”   

–

Evening.  Bo Jinyan’s residence. 

Jian Yao and Bo Jinyan are performing some prep work forward of tomorrow’s journey.  There’s fairly a bit of knowledge to undergo, however she is getting drained. 

Jian Yao have no idea when she fell asleep, however when she opened her eyes, she realises she is on Bo Jinyan’s mattress. When did she go into his room?

She continues to be sporting the identical white shirt and black knee excessive skirt she had earlier, however her slippers have been eliminated, and it’s not on the aspect of the mattress.  Was she… carried into the room by Bo Jinyan? 

He didn’t simply depart her on the sofa, however carried her to his mattress.  That’s sudden… and candy. 

Classical music travels from the lounge into the hallway, the place she is standing now.  She slowly takes her step in direction of the lounge.  She stops as she sees one other sudden scene.  

Solely the ground lamp is on within the lounge.  She sees steam rising out of the massive bathtub. No marvel he introduced her into the room – he wished to wash in the lounge.

However there’s nobody within the bathtub.  She appears to be like round, and sees him standing with solely a towel round his waist.  His whole again is uncovered. 

With the dim lighting within the room, the shadows give his physique a pleasant definition.  However quickly, she additionally notices there’s one thing on his again.  Scars.  Numerous scars.  By the appears to be like of them,  they had been attributable to as soon as deep wounds.  Within the night time, they appear like ferocious vine flowers, blooming on his again.

– The place did these scars come from?  Isn’t he simply answerable for analysing work?  Arresting the criminals is the police’s accountability.  That’s what he mentioned earlier than.

She takes a more in-depth look.  The scars are neatly organized, in rows.  There are greater than a dozen on the left, and on the precise too.  

Jian Yao stands at nighttime.  Then softly, she tip toes again into the bed room.
