Married to the Protagonist - Chapter 135: A Happy Couple (3)

And it was because of this that the woman was the most suspicious suspect. They couldn’t rule out the possibility that she had stabbed him while they were in bed.

When Deng Chuan mentioned this idea, forensics asked, “Motive?”

“You’d have to ask the killer for that,” Deng Chuan said.

The DNA results from what they gathered at the scene have yet to come out.

The only thing they can do now is to start with the people he knows.

The surveillance footage from Er Pavilion shows that the woman wore a mask similar to what one would wear to a masquerade ball. She also tried to lower her head as much as possible. Even without her doing that, however, it was impossible to tell who she was. After all, the lights at Er Pavilion were really dim during the night.

Moreover, she just moved around the dance floor and did not head into the rooms upstairs. usually, people who are just there to dance won’t register their information. On the other hand, after Zhou Chao and his group were done drinking upstairs, he stumbled down the stairs and saw her twisting her hips on the dance floor. So, he hooked up with the woman…

It didn’t take long before the two of them left Er Pavilion together.

They also asked the people who were with Zhou Chao that day. They were basically all drunk as hell so none of them had the mental ability to pay attention to that person. When they saw a beauty in Zhou Chao’s arms buried shyly into his chest, they just whistled like rogues and made jokes. Nothing else happened after that, so there was nothing they could get out of that group.

For now, after understanding the interpersonal relationships of the victim, they only have the DNA traces left behind from their lovemaking to determine the identity of this woman.

Yan Cheng, “I’m afraid he has plenty of people who have grudges with him.”

Yan Chen, “Our business is long over. If I’ve got any grudges, I usually make sure it’s settled then and there. When he came to stir up trouble and framed me with the Er Pavilion case, i had someone beat him up and send him to the hospital soon after I came out.”

Deng Chuan choked from how straightforward he was being. “……”

Yan Cheng, “After that, we never came in contact with each other. As long as he doesn’t come and mess with me, I won’t try and screw with him.”

After a pause, he raised his brow. “Actually, other than frequenting my Er Pavilion as a customer, he really didn’t do anything to me.”

Deng Chuan’s face was expressionless, and he also believed him. However, he was sure that if Zhou Chao was not dead, then he may need to start praying. He pursed his lips and said, “Were you aware that he and his friends were doing drugs while partying in your Er Pavilion?” These were what Zhou Chao’s useless friends told them. They had gone to the Er Pavilion on purpose to…

Drugs were no small business. To put it bluntly, even if Yan Cheng had no idea about it, the Er Pavilion would still be dragged in if they were caught red-handed.

“……”

After a few moments of silence, the air seemed to freeze up. Yan Cheng stood up and slammed the table. “Fuck, that bastard.”

He narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “He deserved it.”

A few days later.

Chen Jinyao and Chen Jinlin brought along Chen Jinlin’s boyfriend with them to Putuo Mountain.

Chen Jinyao kept on thinking about Yan Cheng.

When she found time, she had to give him a call and ask about the situation.

They agreed early on that there would be no secrets between them, and Yan Cheng had told Chen Jinyao everything.

They were the only ones who knew how aggravating the situation was. Even the usual calm Chen Jinyao could not help but get riled up as well. Even if the source of their anger is just an unlucky scumbag who was fresh in the ground.

Hearing Chen Jinyao’s voice, Yan Cheng began grumbling again.

Chen Jinyao rolled her eyes. “That’s enough.”

“Okay.” His voice still sounded reluctant.

“…”

“Putuo Mountain has a great view.” He had already seen the pictures that Chen Jinyao took. “Just have fun with Jinlin. By the way, don’t forget the most important thing! Remember to pray to the goddess, okay?”

Chen Jinyao sighed. “Don’t even mention it, I feel like I’m being a third wheel right now.”

Yan Cheng, “…”

An existence as awkward as being a third wheel…

Yan Cheng narrowed his eyes. “So where are you now?”

“My room at the hotel. What’s up?”

“What about the two of them?”

“Probably went out to play,” Chen Jinyao said dryly. “They’re young so they’refull of energy.”

Yan Cheng felt like he had made a mistake.

He probably shouldn’t have sent the ungrateful Chen Jinlin in the first place.

And, at this moment, Chen Jinlin who had forgotten about her mission was kneeling sincerely in front of the goddess’s statue, praying for her sister.

Only

After ten minutes, she came out.

Luo Xiao asked, “You…”

He wasn’t able to find his words yet when Chen Jinyao picked up on it and narrowed her eyes. “I prayed that my sister and brother-in-law can have kids soon.”

“……”
