Chapter 8

　　Lin Yuan did not answer, but felt that the fragrance on Yuan Yu's body was too strong to be strong. Yuan Yu continued, "When you ask if you can trust someone, in fact, you already have an answer in your heart."

　　Lin Yuan released her hand and looked into Yuan Yu's eyes, feeling a touch in her heart. Lin Yuan said, "Yuan Yu, I believe in you, but if you deceive me, I will be very sad."

　　Yuan Yu approached Lin Yuan and gently hugged her, saying, "If you're sad, my heart will hurt."

　　Faced with such Yuanyu, Lin Yuan became addicted. If he were a poison, it would definitely be addictive. Lin Yuan knew that she was poisoned and couldn't quit, so she willingly became addicted to it.

　　When Yuan Yu left, he left a sentence and said, "Don't trust anyone, including your brother."

　　The fragrance in the room had not yet dissipated, and Lin Yuan stood by the bedroom window. The sunlight behind her reflected her own shadow on the messy bed.

　　Is this still me?

　　Lin Yuan felt like she had changed.

　　Squatting down against the wall, her head buried in her knees. After a long, long time, when her legs were numb, Lin Yuan lifted her head and saw Lin Rui standing in front of her, looking at her for an unknown amount of time.

　　Lin Yuan couldn't get up anymore, so Lin Rui picked her up and placed her on the bed, gently massaging her numb legs.

　　As if hearing a sigh, it came from the bottom of Lin Rui's heart.

　　"Brother," Lin Yuan grabbed Lin Rui's hand and said, "aren't you happy?"

　　"Should I be happy?" Lin Rui asked in response, his eyes filled with suppressed anger.

　　Lin Yuan murmured, "I know you're very angry, but I... I really can't resist Yuan Yu..."

　　"Yuan Yu!" Lin Rui grabbed Lin Yuan's shoulder and said, "I have said that I am your only relative, and the only person you can trust is me!"

　　Lin Yuan remembered Yuan Yu's words, and he also said that he could only trust him. Can these two people really be trusted? One is his own brother, but he is hot and cold; One is someone I like, but such a crush on him seems too abnormal.

　　Can they all believe it, or can they all not believe it?

　　Her legs were no longer numb, so Lin Yuan pushed Lin Rui away. She stepped back and leaned against the head of the bed, saying, "I've made a decision. Whether it's you or Yuan Yu, I won't believe it anymore."

　　"Xiao Yuan..." Lin Rui's expression was hurt, and Lin Yuan chose to ignore it. She said, "Relying on others will only make oneself more fragile, so I only believe in myself."

　　Lin Rui took a few steps back, and Lin Yuan continued, "Brother, first figure out what's going on with you."

　　"Me?" Lin Rui stumbled out. Lin Yuan hugged her shoulder and felt cold. She lowered her head, and the jade hairpin was next to her pillow. The purple iris flower looked particularly eerie in the pale sunlight.

　　The autopsy results came out, and Xu Yang looked at the report, which showed the deceased Yu Si. Her blood contained high concentrations of alcohol and sleeping pills, and there were also several bottles of sleeping pills in her bedroom, two of which were still empty.

　　My parents have passed away, and my younger sister Yu Qing has been working abroad for many years. When she heard the bad news about her sister, she also rushed back from abroad. From her mouth, I learned that Yu Si had a habit of taking sleeping pills before going to bed, but it was evening at that time, so she probably wouldn't take them.

　　From the on-site investigation, there were no signs of violence causing Yu Si to fall off the building, and she did not leave a suicide note. However, former colleagues said that Yu Si likes to drink excessively, has no friends, and is not sure if she has any enemies. She has been living alone, and her economy is not very affluent, and she seems to have not been in a relationship. In short, she is somewhat isolated.

　　She used to be a salesperson in a shopping mall, but due to personality reasons, her performance has always been poor. She was laid off by the company last month, and it is possible that she may suffer suicide as a result.

　　If it weren't for Lin Yuan's appearance, Yu Si's death could easily have been judged as a drunken fall from a building. Whether it was a slip or intentional suicide, the case could have been closed. However, Lin Yuan's testimony made the case confusing.

　　What if Lin Yuan is just talking nonsense? Perhaps there is no jade hairpin at all. There should be some way for Lin Yuan to enter the Yu Si family without breaking the seal.

　　Xu Yang planned to visit Yu Si's house again. When he looked up, the clock on the wall had already pointed to 12:30. He sighed and put away his things. Since Xiaoxuan was gone, no one had urged him to leave work anymore.

　　The next day, Xu Yang went to Yu Si's house and saw Lin Yuan again downstairs in the dormitory.

　　Xu Yang said, "Do you always bump into me every time you come, or are you always there every time I come?"

　　Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "My suspicion has increased by one more point."

　　Xu Yang said calmly, "I can listen to your explanation."

　　"I can't explain anything," Lin Yuan said in distress. "I also really want to know what's going on."

　　Xu Yang looked at Lin Yuan quietly. Unless she was a very good disguiser, it was hard to tell that she would be a murderer. Of course, Yu Si's death may not even have the presence of a murderer.

　　"Tell me how you entered the Yusi family," Xu Yang asked again.

　　Lin Yuan shook her head and said, "Indeed, it was Yu Si who opened the door for me. If you don't believe it, I have no choice. I can't come up with a way to convince you."

　　Xu Yang stopped asking and walked towards the staircase, then turned to Lin Yuan and said, "You can come too."

　　The two of them entered the room, and Xu Yang opened the window and checked the windowsill, but still didn't find anything.

　　"There's really no trace of flipping in from outside," Xu Yang said. "You really stumped me."

　　Lin Yuan shrugged and said, "I don't have the ability to flip through the window on the fourth floor."

　　"What are you here for today?" Xu Yang looked at the medicine bottle on the dressing table and asked.

　　"Let's find a reasonable explanation," Lin Yuan replied, "but it still failed."

　　"Yu Si may not have been killed by him," Xu Yang said, "but you have complicated the case."

　　"If I were the murderer, I wouldn't be foolish enough to take the initiative to catch your attention, would I?"

　　"Yes," Xu Yangzan agreed, "at least I saw you here last time, it seems like someone has arranged it."

　　"Fortunately, you're not a stupid police officer."

　　"But you must have something hidden from me," Xu Yang said confidently.

　　Lin Yuan fell silent. She didn't believe her brother, but she didn't want the police to suspect him either.

　　Xu Yang sat down and said, "Are you here to find the jade hairpin? You didn't get it last time, don't you give up?"

　　"Yes," Lin Yuan deliberately admitted, "I really like this jade hairpin."

　　"I think you should look for photos first," Xu Yang said. "Don't you think it's unusual to sleep for six hours in a stranger's house in broad daylight? Are you so tired?"
