Chapter 537: Repaying Evil with Kindness?
Seeing that Chen Yi had no reaction, An Li was a little disappointed.
He wanted to provoke the other party, and then find a reason to shoot him, but unfortunately the other party did not give him this opportunity.
As long as the police dared to take the initiative to provoke a dispute, Uncle Tai would definitely not mind turning him into a corpse.
After all, the identity of the police is still very sensitive, and the two sides are on opposite sides.
"You are drunk before you even drink, what nonsense are you talking about."
Uncle Tai smoothed things over, the banquet began, and the exquisite dishes were served on the table.
Chen Yi knew that the banquet was definitely not just for eating, because with his presence, many things were not convenient to say.
And Teng Dabin didn't have the opportunity to tell him, which was more uncomfortable.
The people present were not all in one, and they were afraid that they all had their own selfish thoughts in their hearts, and there was also the one called Sister Yi...
It seems that she is not that bad? At least she scolded An Li and reprimanded the other party's actions, and she did not show any malice to herself from beginning to end.
The banquet was rather sloppy, totally different from what I had imagined. Everyone just drank and ate, and chatted casually, which made the atmosphere awkward for several times.
No self-introduction.
Except for An Li, Sister Yi, Uncle Tai, and Li Yunhu, who had already appeared, Chen Yi didn't know any other names.
After the banquet, there was no follow-up activity, and everyone went upstairs to their rooms to rest.
Liz was still following silently. She must have gone to report when she disappeared before.
Chen Yi was too lazy to pay attention. If you don't mind the cold, you can sleep on the floor. If you don't mind the tiredness, you can sleep on the sofa. Anyway, I will definitely sleep on the bed and pretend that there is no one in the room.
The lights in the room were turned off, and Liz sat on the sofa and prepared to sleep.
It was not easy.
Chen Yi's vigilance had not disappeared. Was it so simple to come to Sendong Island?
Eat and sleep, be accompanied by beautiful women, and then leave comfortably?
He didn't think anyone would be so bored.
It was certain that he would leave tomorrow, otherwise Uncle Tai would be very angry. So what would happen from now to tomorrow's departure?
The person hiding behind the scenes should also take action.
There are two suspicious points now.
The first is An Li. That bastard makes people feel uncomfortable after just a glance, and the man and woman next to him are clearly recognizable.
But he is the invitee, not the inviter. Did he spend a lot of effort to forge the invitation letter?
The second is Uncle Tai's group. They are the inviters. The invitation letter is most likely to come from the inviter, so the suspicion is naturally the greatest.
At the banquet, there are two people who are qualified to eat at the same table with Uncle Tai.
Sister Yi is one of them, sitting on Uncle Tai's left, and the other is a young man in his thirties, sitting on Uncle Tai's right.
This person speaks very little, as if he is the only one who attends the banquet for dinner, and he is also the first to leave after dinner.
From the details of the interaction between Uncle Tai and this person, the two have a close relationship, like an elder to a younger generation.
Teng Dabin must know this person, but there is no way to ask.
"Who is sitting on Uncle Tai's right?" Chen Yi suddenly spoke in the quiet and dim room.
Since you can't ask Teng Dabin, you can ask Liz.
The night is long and boring, it's good to talk.
Let's try, just don't answer.
When the voice fell, Liz, who was sitting there, opened her eyes and said, "Uncle Tai's nephew, Agui."
Chen Yi: "What's your last name?"
He answered with indifference.
Chen Yi: "Has he always lived on the island?"
Liz: "No.
Mr. Chen, it's late, go to bed quickly. If you feel lonely, this bed is actually quite big and can accommodate two people."
Chen Yi laughed: "I think it's quite small."
Who dares to touch a foreign woman of unknown origin? What if you have HIV?
The room became quiet and there was no sound.
Chen Yi didn't sleep, and he didn't dare to sleep. A woman with blood on her hands was sitting there, and he was really worried that she would kill him in the middle of the night.
Just close your eyes and rest. Whether it's deep sleep or light sleep, it's not as safe as being awake.
Time passed slowly, and Chen Yi simulated the sound of even breathing to fall into a deep sleep, without feeling any danger.
Liz was very quiet, without any unusual movements. It was unknown whether she was asleep or not.
It was estimated that it was about three o'clock in the morning. Chen Yi was awake and did not fall asleep. At this moment, his ears moved slightly, and there seemed to be a slight noise outside.
The distance was very far, and Chen Yi could not tell whether it was an illusion for a while.
After a while, the sound rang again, as if it came from the third floor. Chen Yi opened his eyes.
Not all guests lived on the second floor, there were also guests on the third floor, such as An Li, Tai's nephew Agui, and Teng Dabin.
Dong!
The third time the sound was more recognizable, very dull, as if the body hit the wall, and as if a hard object fell on the carpet.
Since then, the sound disappeared.
Maybe someone made a noise in the room. Chen Yi listened carefully. After a while, he caught a very light and slow footsteps, scattered, sometimes there and sometimes not.
The other party passed by the corridor on the second floor, deliberately suppressing it.
The corridor floor is made of porcelain. To eliminate the sound of footsteps, you need to look at the material of the sole. Casual shoes with good shock absorption are the easiest to hide the sound, while rubber soles with good wear resistance and anti-slip properties are not easy to hide the sound because of the high friction.
It is impossible to judge what kind of shoes they are, because each type of shoe may use a different sole. For example, leather shoes may have rubber soles, and outdoor sports shoes may also have leather soles.
Chen Yi really didn't pay much attention to what shoes the group wore during the day.
Why go out so late at night? There is a toilet in the room.
With doubts, time continues to pass.
The eastern sky gradually began to show subtle changes, and the curtain of night gently lifted a corner.
Soon, soft orange and yellow permeated the colors, and the sun was about to appear.
The stars began to disappear, and the sky slowly became layered.
On the shore, the waves beat all night, and at this moment, there seemed to be more expectations in the sound, welcoming the arrival of dawn.
It was dawn.
All things woke up. Although there was no rooster crowing, the birds were very active, and the crisp sounds came one after another.
Chen Yi didn't "wake up", he felt that he should sleep in.
It was not until it was bright outside and the dazzling sunlight sprinkled on the bed through the window that Chen Yi stretched unconsciously and opened his eyes to look at the ceiling above.
"You're awake."
Liz's voice came, without any signs, even Chen Yi, who had not fallen asleep, felt abrupt.
The other party seemed to have not slept all night and had been paying attention to his movements.
Really dedicated.
It turns out that criminals abroad are much more well-trained than imagined.
"Good morning." Chen Yi smiled.
Liz was very considerate and brought clothes and a cup of warm water, which made Chen Yi sigh that if it was not for the purpose of surveillance, there was nothing wrong with it.
"Are you going to the hall for breakfast or in the room?"
"If in the room, tell me the taste and I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."
Liz implemented the maid's personality very well.
"Go to the hall."
After dinner, he was about to leave. Chen Yi had a hunch that something should happen, otherwise the invitation would lose its meaning.
"Mr. Chen, please." Liz asked Chen Yi to go first.
Chen Yi nodded slightly, and just as he walked to the door and hadn't opened it yet, Uncle Tai's roar came from outside.
The voice was loud, with strong grief and indignation.
"Who did it?!!"
"Watch everyone carefully and don't move! Anyone who dares to move will be executed on the spot!!"
Chen Yi's raised hand froze, and he subconsciously looked back at Liz.
Liz naturally heard the sound, and her face changed immediately. She wanted to go and see the situation first, but she held back. She did not forget her mission: before Chen Yi left Sendong Island, she had to follow him closely for 24 hours, and even monitor the sound when he went to the toilet.
"This sound is like his mother died, what do you think?" Chen Yi was calm. He was not surprised by anything that happened on the island. The only thing he was worried about was Teng Dabin.
However, Teng Dabin and Uncle Tai had no relatives. If something happened to Teng Dabin, Uncle Tai would not make such a sad and angry sound.
Liz was very well-educated. She was hesitant to speak, and her eyes urged Chen Yi to go out quickly.
Soon, there were chaotic footsteps, and every room on the second floor was knocked open, including Chen Yi.
"Officer Chen! Please don't walk around from now on!"
The bodyguard separated one person and Liz to look at Chen Yi from front to back. The other invitees were not spared. They all walked out of the room with a confused look on their faces, and some of them were not dressed properly.
Everyone was taken to the third floor.
In a room on the third floor, Uncle Tai stood at the door, looking at the room with a gloomy face. He was trembling all over because of anger, and the veins on the skin exposed to the outside were bulging.
"Uncle Tai, everyone is here."
Uncle Tai turned his head slowly, and a chilling voice sounded: "Whoever killed my nephew Agui, stand up and I promise... to leave you a whole body."
Huh?
Dead?
Compared to the shock of others, Chen Yi was very calm. He looked around and the focus was on the people who lived on the second floor like him.
He didn't forget the footsteps at three o'clock in the morning today.
This Uncle Tai is quite fierce. He admitted that he left a whole body. If he didn't admit it, wouldn't it be miserable if he was found out? Only a fool would admit it.
"Who! Did! It!?"
Uncle Tai spoke word by word, his eyes swept over everyone, but he didn't pay attention to Chen Yi.
"There is only one outsider here, right?" A man spoke and looked over.
Others also looked at Chen Yi.
Teng Dabin was suspicious. Although Agui was Uncle Tai's nephew, he had never participated in the group's business. He was just a second-generation rich man. Why kill him?
To deal with Uncle Tai?
Apart from angering Uncle Tai, there is no real benefit.
An Li's eyes lit up, pointing at Chen Yi and angrily said: "It must be him! I will kill you right now to help Uncle Tai get revenge!"
Chen Yi silently uttered a Chinese quintessence.
When can this idiot be killed? I have to find an opportunity before leaving.
"Who are you scolding?!" An Li was about to pull out a gun.
"Shut up!" Uncle Tai yelled, "It must not be him, who did it, stand up!!"
An Li was a little confused: "Sure? Why?"
Uncle Tai was too lazy to explain, and continued to look at other people with a scrutinizing eye, hoping to find a flaw.
Chen Yi said with a smile: "You are stupid but you still don't admit it. This beauty stayed by my side all the time, serving tea and massage, making me feel very comfortable. She would be the first to know if I made any movement.
Miss Liz, have I ever left your sight?"
Liz shook her head: "No."
An Li then realized that Uncle Tai had set up surveillance. After a while, he asked: "What if you fell asleep last night?"
Liz said seriously: "I didn't sleep all night, I was very awake."
Chen Yi continued: "I didn't sleep either, I heard some noises. If he died between 2 and 3 in the morning, half of the people can be ruled out."
"You?" An Li snorted coldly, "You really think you are a master at solving crimes. I guess I am not among the people you eliminated, right?"
Chen Yi shook his finger: "No, you are there, it shouldn't be you who did it."
An Li was stunned, this was going to stop him.
Why, repay evil with kindness?
