Creation’s Grace

Arriving at the Chinese restaurant upstairs, Chi Yu deliberately ordered a lot of dishes that took a long time to cook, and wanted to have a good chat with Ran Jin and prolong her stay here.

Chi Yu told Ran Jin bluntly about some of the things she had learned through investigation. Of course, she did not mention the crucial evidence in the surveillance video.

If my sister passed away so suddenly, and she didn't investigate anything and didn't know anything after returning to China, Ran Jin would definitely be suspicious.

But I can't say all of them, otherwise I won't be able to tell Ran Jin's words.

Chi Yu first started with Lu Sima. After all, Lu Sima was the most important witness to clear Ran Ban's suspicions, but she hadn't heard much about her knowing such a policeman before.

"I met Miss Lu seven years ago. Although I have been in the same city for all these years, I don't count as acquaintances and have no contact information, so I haven't had much contact. Later, we met again by accident, and we exchanged WeChat."

Facing the "curiosity" of the late encounter, Ran Jin said it simply.

"So...you knew your sister before you knew her?"

"Well. You also know that before I came to Chi's house, I was wandering outside for a long time." Ran Jin took a sip of lemonade, "I accidentally caused some trouble at that time."

"The police officer helped you solve it?"

"It is."

I thought that Ran Jin would avoid talking about knowing Lu Sima, but she didn't expect her to speak quite frankly.

But thinking about it carefully, she said it straightforwardly, but blurred a lot of details.

Chi Yu continued to ask: "When I heard that my sister had an accident, did she send you to the live broadcast?"

"Yes." Ran Jin said, "that day her father came back from his hometown and brought some souvenirs, and she specially gave some to me. I heard that I was going to the live broadcast building, and she happened to be going there to investigate the case, so she went there together. The video of her dash cam has been handed over to the police, and I can hear clearly why I was in her car."

When Ran Jin said this, he was tempted to hear it earlier.

Chi Yu did not evade: "Sister Ran, you know the character of my sister, how could she commit suicide? She told me last month that she was undergoing professional training and planned to conquer Mount Everest before the age of forty. My parents back then. When she passed away, she was the same age as I am now. She gave up her own future to take care of me, and revitalized the fallen Chi family. You must have known how much energy she has after being in love with her for so many years. She will not commit suicide What's more, you left without leaving a single word with me... I don't know what you think, Sister Ran, for me, it's a fantasy."

Ran Jin nodded, agreeing with Chi Yu's words: "At first, I had a hard time believing that I couldn't laugh or cry when I was listed as a suspect, but now that the police have come to a conclusion, we can't help but believe it."

For her warm and vague attitude, Chi Yu felt an unnamed fire in his heart.

Chi Yu patiently continued to deal with Ran Ban, but no matter what she did, Ran Ban was just spinning around the trap and was not easily fooled.

Even if the trap is really set, there is still a kind of calmness in the trap that will not be hurt in the slightest.

Chi Yu was already passive, and knew that if she continued like this, she would not be able to dig out the answer she wanted.

"So, Sister Ran, do you really think that my sister committed suicide?" Chi Yu lowered his eyes, and his smart eyes turned red when he said, "I always thought that my sister and I could talk about everything, and I always thought that I was very important in her heart. ...Unexpectedly, she just left without leaving a word for me."

Ran Jin saw her eyes redden, her voice tightened, and her body leaning forward involuntarily, who had been leaning on the backrest.

There is no need for acting at all, most of what Chi Yu said is the real feeling, the pain of the skin.

She looked up, and two lines of tears rolled down naturally.

Ran Jin immediately took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.

After she said "thank you" and took the paper, Ran Jin, who had been pondering for a moment, said:

"Even people who have nothing to talk about will have secrets. She didn't leave a message for you, it's not necessarily that she doesn't want to."

Chi Yu held the tissue in her hand, it was useless, tears were in her eyes, she was strong now, and the texture presented in Ran Jin's eyes was more complicated.

Chi Yu asked her, "Sister Ran, did my sister say anything to you before she died?"

Ran Jin looked away from Chi Yu's face, looked at his water glass, and smiled helplessly: "She didn't even leave a message for you, let alone me. You know, I broke up with her before. "

"Did my sister mention the breakup?"

"No." Ran Jin said unexpectedly, "I mentioned it."

"Sister must have done something sorry for you." Chi Yu did not forget the purpose of this meal, and continued to dig for any clues that might be found.

Unfortunately, the clear-minded Ran Jin still didn't give her a chance, and responded to her with an adult's steadiness and comprehensiveness: "Emotional matters cannot be explained in a few words. Although I mentioned the breakup, it was also a decision made by your sister and I. "

No wonder she couldn't be named as a suspect.

Chi Yu really saw Ran Ban's impeccable performance.

When Ran Jin was still her "sister-in-law", the two naturally stood on the same front, and Chi Yu could get all the truth she wanted to hear from her mouth.

But it's different now.

Chi Yu knew that the two of them are enemies now, but they haven't really tried to see each other.

Since she couldn't break through Ran Ban's strong defense line when she was sober, Chi Yu planned to let her drink some wine.

She knew that Ran Jin's alcohol intake was not good, and putting the bottom of a Burgundy glass twice would make Ran Jin stunned.

If you drink spirits or liquor, it is estimated that you will be cut off directly.

Four years ago, when I got an offer from her favorite university, my sister was very happy and invited many relatives and friends to have a party at home.

Chi Yu had just grown up, and for the first time, her sister agreed with her to drink alcohol.

In fact, she had secretly tasted it in private with a group of fox friends before, for fear that she would smell the wine when she went home, and she was always nervous.

Now that I can openly drink it openly, it feels completely different.

Drinking too much will inevitably lead to a little out of shape. In addition, classmates and friends have gone their separate ways since then, and the reluctance to part from separation has urged these would-be adults to be eager to experience the taste of a drunken break.

It was only halfway through the party that night, and Chi Li's secretary hurriedly came to her and said that there was an impromptu meeting of the board of directors, and she had no choice but to go. After making amends to her sister, she asked Ran Ban to stay and clean up the mess for her.

Chi Li left, and the business partners she invited also left one after another.

Only the late classmates and the elder sister-in-law who were obedient to her were left.

Chi Yu was even more presumptuous, brought a lot of various wines over, and played Truth or Dare with Qi Tong and the others.

Their way of playing is, if they feel that the big adventure is too risky, and they don't want to do it, they can use drinking instead.

But how much to drink depends on everyone's turn before the start. Some people fall down a little bit, they are afraid that they will be tricked, and some people pour their lives hard, believing that they can't be trapped.

Ran Jin was watching Chi Yu from the side, reminding her not to drink too much alcohol.

Later, I didn't know who it was, so I insisted on pulling Ran Ban to play together.

Ran Jin was several years older than them, and had been sitting and watching as a guardian. She didn't expect to be invited, so she shook her head and declined.

The classmates were still booing, and they had already drank to the point where Chi Yu held a wine glass as if stepping on an earthquake belt, and came up to Ran Jin to relieve the siege:

"Don't make trouble with my sister-in-law, she really doesn't like your children's shows."

"Children's show? That's what you started too!"

"That's right, hurry up, hurry up and drink the wine in your hand."

"Have you not seen it yet? Chi Yu is trying to pretend to be drunk, and if she can't stand still, she accidentally spills the wine in her hand, and she can escape."

Chi Yu seriously cheated: "I really drink too much, I can't drink any more. Can I only drink half of this cup?"

Qi Tong took the lead in coaxing: "You said it's okay! How did you feed me in the last round! Hurry up and drink it, or the sisters will look down on you!"

Chi Yu knew that she couldn't let it go, that is to say, she just acted like a spoiled child, and she was not too drunk.

Unexpectedly, Ran Jin took her wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Including Chi Yu, everyone present looked at Ran Jin.

The jubilation of the drunken fans just now quieted down.

Ran Jin frowned and swallowed the wine hard, then slowly, he still spoke with the unselfish guardian kiss: "Xiaoyu can't drink anymore, or her sister should be angry. You guys continue to play, I'll drink it for her."

The people present were all seventeen or eighteen-year-olds, half of whom had never been in a serious relationship, and were so shaken by the force of Ran Ban's sister-in-law that they were half sober.

"Your sister is too happy! Where did you find such a considerate girlfriend!"

"I want a sister-in-law like this too!"

"Okay, I don't need lemons for my Margarita."

That night, I didn't drink less alcohol when I met him late, and I fainted, but with the amount of alcohol that I had learned from secretly drinking for many years, my consciousness was still very clear.

On the contrary, Ran Jin, who drank the glass of wine for her, quickly turned red, and his response to talking to her was a little slower than usual.

Only then did Chi Yu know that the eldest sister-in-law who was arrogant here just now can't drink at all, for fear that she will continue to block drinking for herself, and then she will not be able to explain to her sister. Late in the second half, he quit the game and just watched from the sidelines. The fact that Ran Jin blocked the wine for her was a very crucial step in Chi Yu's process of treating this outsider as his "family".

After all, it is not difficult to be nice to a person, but it is not something that can be done by pretending to take care of this person's relatives with sincerity.

The warmth at that time has now become a weapon used by Chi Yu to break through the solid barriers of Ran Ban, which is ironic enough.

It was really sad to meet him late, and the moistness in his eyes showed no signs of receding. He said "I miss my sister so much", ordered two bottles of wine, and asked Ran Jin to accompany her for a drink. .

Chi Yu wants to get drunk and ban, and pry open her tight mouth.

This may be the most direct and efficient feasible plan at this stage.

When the wine came, Ran Jin didn't show much expression during the whole process, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Chi Yu asked the waiter to open a drink and drank two glasses alone.

The alcohol burned into her throat and rushed into her head, but she was more sober, thinking of more excuses to persuade Ran to ban drinking.

Unexpectedly, Chi Yu didn't start to persuade him, but just looked at Ran Jin with red eyes, said that he missed her sister, and asked Ran Jin to accompany her.

That's all, Ran Jin seemed unable to resist, he hesitated for a short time, and then drank the wine at hand.
