Chapter 1013: Chapter 406: Second Confrontation_3 Chapter 1013: Chapter 406: Second Confrontation_3 Gu Xiaolan thought for a moment and said, “This matter may not be as simple as it appears on the surface. Although Yang Liu seems to have died from drowning, we cannot jump to conclusions before the autopsy report comes out. There must be something fishy about Yang Liu's death because the timing of his death is just too suspicious.”

Zhuge Liuyun's eyes lit up, and he quickly responded, “Indeed, Yang Liu couldn't have died from drowning; he must have been killed by Yan Fei. I'm going to check Yan Fei's current situation right now to see if he's in the Quadrangle Courtyard.”

Under Zhuge Liuyun's command, a small surveillance drone was released and hovered in the airspace near the Quadrangle Courtyard where Yan Fei lived, monitoring the situation inside the courtyard from above.

However, much to Zhuge Liuyun's disappointment, he saw Yan Fei's figure on the surveillance video. Yan Fei was lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard reading a book, with a cup of steaming Hot Tea on the tea table beside him.

Gu Xiaolan and Zhuge Liuyun exchanged glances, both somewhat uncertain about the current situation. The Quadrangle Courtyard was 5 kilometers away from Yang Liu's family villa complex in a straight line. If Yan Fei was indeed the killer who murdered Yang Liu, then the only ways for Yan Fei to leave the Quadrangle Courtyard to commit the murder would be through the sky or underground because the ground situation was under strict surveillance, making it impossible for Yan Fei to leave through the ground. However, under the brightly lit sky, Yan Fei couldn't have left without a trace, so the only path left for Yan Fei would be underground.

But to travel underground from here to Yang Liu's house, commit the murder, and then return here would require a great deal of time. Yang Liu was found dead just half an hour ago, meaning it was absolutely impossible for Yan Fei to have killed Yang Liu and then returned to the Quadrangle Courtyard within half an hour through underground traversal, at least in terms of time.

Could it be that they had wronged Yan Fei? That Yan Fei hadn't left at all, nor had he killed anyone? However, even though Yang Liu was old, it seemed unlikely that he would drown without any noise, especially at such a critical time; Yang Liu must have been murdered. Yet now, Yan Fei was peacefully sitting in the courtyard reading, not looking at all like someone who had left to commit a murder…

While the two were pondering what was really going on, Zhuge Liuyun's phone rang again. He answered the call, said a few words, and then hung up. He told Gu Xiaolan, “The organization has instructed us not to worry about Yan Fei anymore and to head to Headquarters immediately; there appears to be a very important Task for us to carry out.”

Gu Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhuge Liuyun was set on dealing with Yan Fei, she would definitely help Zhuge Liuyun. But Yan Fei was very mysterious, and even she couldn't see through Yan Fei's secrets; she didn't know Yan Fei's real secrets, so if they were to confront Yan Fei, Gu Xiaolan wasn't sure she could take him down. Now that the organization was sending them on another Task, it naturally meant they didn't have to confront Yan Fei, which immediately made her breath a sigh of relief.

However, Zhuge Liuyun was somewhat indignant and complained, “The higher-ups are too lenient on Yan Fei. In such a situation, they actually don't initiate an investigation into Yan Fei, nor do they want us to investigate.”

Gu Xiaolan said, “Liuyun, Yan Fei is not simple; he's not someone we can handle for the time being. Let's leave this place and head back to Headquarters to take on our Task!”

Zhuge Liuyun sighed and said, “Since that's the case, we'll let Yan Fei off for now and settle both new and old scores next time.”
