Chapter 623: Extremely Smart

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After He Yan finished speaking, one of his subordinates moved to stand in front of Li Er, effectively blocking the brothers’ line of sight.

Without the familiar emotional support, Li Da’s speech immediately became stuttered, and his eyes seemed somewhat helpless. “I, I said it already. I didn’t eat breakfast before going to the shop, nor did I eat anything else I shouldn’t have. Yes, I didn’t.”

Li Er’s heart was also hanging in suspense, but fortunately, as Li Da spoke, his tone became more certain, suggesting there were no loopholes in his story.

However, unbeknownst to Li Er, Gu Zi had already detected a flaw. She quickly pressed Li Da again, “You’re talking too much, which is strange. Actually, you just need to tell me whether you ate anything else before going to our shop. Yes or no?”

Her rapid speech left the others present barely time to react, let alone Li Da. After a moment of stunned silence, he blurted out, “No, I didn’t eat anything else. Don’t ask me again, I didn’t.”

At this point, Li Er’s heart sank. He thought to himself, ‘Li Da, you fool, why did you say so much!’

Yet, Gu Zi revealed a satisfied smile, turning to He Yan, “Captain He, the victim’s behavior is quite strange, don’t you think?”

He Yan, still slightly taken aback, found himself admiring the woman before him. The newspapers had said she was a promising businesswoman, but now it seemed she was much more than that.

She would make an excellent detective if she chose to pursue a career in law enforcement. Su Shen had truly struck gold in finding such a beautiful and intelligent woman, making He Yan a bit envious.

Li Da’s behavior had indeed been suspicious. His eyes were evasive, his right hand clenched into a fist and rubbing against his thigh, and his words lacked conviction. These subtle gestures and movements were noticed by He Yan due to his professional acuity.
