“You don’t?” Bo Jinyan  appears at Jian Yao, “Inform them what we present in Zhou Qin’s yard.”

Jian Yao holds up a clear plastic bag with the pearl earrings. 

“This belongs to the deceased, Wang Wan Wei.” Bo Jinyan  says faintly,  “Mai Chen mentioned she was sporting them when he noticed her that night time.  But, when the physique was discovered, the earrings had been lacking.  I imagine nobody would purposely take the earrings and throw it within the yard.  It may possibly solely imply that she got here by right here earlier than she died.

Why would a woman come round at the moment of the night time?  The earrings had been discovered lower than two metres out of your lounge window.  It’s unattainable that each of you didn’t discover she was right here.”

Pei Ze sneers. “We had been concentrating on the sport.  It was raining, so we turned up the amount.  It’s completely doable that we couldn’t hear her.”

Jian Yao is sporting a raincoat, standing the place the earrings had been discovered. After some time, she rapidly runs previous the window.  

As she runs previous, her physique blocks the sunshine that’s coming by a lamppost that shines straight into the lounge.  It casts a big shadow.  She was so near the window, it’s very laborious to overlook.  

“Think about, she should have been in some misery to ensure that the earrings to fall.  She was both having a dispute with somebody, or operating in a short time.  If you happen to had been within the lounge, you’ll have seen her.” says Bo Jinyan .

Qian Yu Wen’s fingers are clenched, his face turns pale.  Jian Yao returns to the room.  She is totally soaked from the rain.   Bo Jinyan  smiles at her: “Good job.”

Pei Ze provides amusing: “Properly, alright.  We didn’t watch the sport.  We weren’t within the lounge.  We had been within the room.”  

Bo Jinyan : “Oh.  So that you’ve determined to vary your testimony? Similar to that?  What makes you suppose we are going to imagine you?”

“Huh ……” Pei Ze takes a deep breath and solutions faintly, “We had been within the room, making love the entire night time.  We didn’t need others to know.  Does that reply your query?”
