Happy Fasting! 
Jiang Pingce could see Building A diagonally opposite from the balcony, he probably calculated the distance and angle, and turned back to ask Zhang Xiaonian, “Is there a structural diagram of the interior of Building A? How are the three rooms on each floor distributed?”
If the precise distance was not calculated, it would be embarrassing if Qin Lu’s plate movement came into the wrong place, and went into room 33-01, facing Liu Lan and her son in person.
Zhang Xiaonian participated in the architectural design of the community, and immediately turned out the design drawings from the bookshelf and handed them to Jiang Pingce, “Unit 1 and Unit 2 are 3 rooms per floor, rooms 02 and 03 of each unit are small sets of two bedrooms and one living room. Room 01 is a large set of three bedrooms and two living rooms, and this building is a transparent all-bright apartment type from north to south.”
Jiang Pingce looked at the drawing carefully, and stood in front of the window to check the position of several rooms in the opposite building, and said, “The plate movement to go to Zhou Ziyang’s residence requires a horizontal inclination of 45 degrees to the right, a distance of 38 meters. When you come back, tilt 45 degrees in the opposite direction, and the same distance.”
The Plate Movement of the Geography Department needed to specify the angle and coordinates on the globe. With Jiang Pingce’s date, Qin Lu could directly teleport from Zhang Xiaonian’s room to Zhou Ziyang’s room in Building A opposite at any time.
When it came to 8:30 pm in the evening, Yue Xingwen said, “Prepare for action.”
It was already dark outside, and the neighborhood was lit up with street lights.
Xin Yan said, “I’ll go to help you illuminate. Zhou Ziyng was dead, and it is difficult to explain if his room’s light suddenly turns on, in case being seen by other residents.”
Yue Xingwen thought about it too, and said with a smile, “Okay, Xin Yan will go with us.”
The other teammates consciously gave way a few steps. Yue Xingwen, Lan Yarong and Xin Yan came to Qin Lu’s side. Qin Lu summoned a familiar globe with her right hand, her fingertips quickly tapped twice on it, and said softly, “Switch places!”
The scene in front of them suddenly changed, and the four people appeared at Zhou Ziyang’s residence.
Yue Xingwen walked quickly to the balcony, closed the blackout curtains, and then turned back to Xin Yan and said, “Lighting.”
Xin Yan summoned his Spirit Lamp, and through the faint light of the Spirit Lamp, everyone saw—— that the living room and dining room used a lot of mahogany furniture, the color of the floor was beige, the door was dark red, and the decoration style was quite Chinese.
Qin Lu looked around and said suspiciously, “How could the house where Lawyer Zhou lived be decorated like this? Does he like this old solid wood furniture painted red?”
Yue Xingwen recalled what Pingce told him about Liu Lan’s confession and explained, “This house was originally bought by Zhou Ziyang for his parents to live in, so the decoration also used the style preferred by the elderly, and the furniture was all carved mahogany furniture. After his parents died and the couple separated, Zhou Ziyang moved here.”
Qin Lu suddenly realized, “It turned out to be his parents’ house. The old people really liked this style.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Everyone hurry up and search separately. Xin Yan, give me one of your Spirit Lamps.”
Xin Yan summoned three more Spirit Lamps, giving one to each of them for lighting. Yue Xingwen took out disposable plastic gloves for eating BBQ from his pocket and gave each person a pair and said, “Put on gloves, be careful not to leave fingerprints.”
No wonder when he came out of the restaurant just now, Yue Xingwen asked the waiter for a stack of gloves. It turned out to be used to search for evidence.

Four of them quickly put on gloves, and Yue Xingwen began to assign tasks to them, “I’ll search the study with senior sister Lan. Qin Lu and Xin Yan search the bedroom, focusing on evidence such as paper documents and photo albums, and take pictures with mobile phones to keep evidence after seeing it.”
Everyone acted separately.
Yue Xingwen and Lan Yarong came to the study, where there was a mahogany desk and leather boss chair, and there was also a mahogany bookcase on a whole wall that looked very magnificent. The bookcase was a two-part structure with an upper and lower level. The lower level was a storage space with doors, while the upper level had five neatly arranged shelves filled with books.
These books were nothing special, but Yue Xingwen saw a photo frame on the bookshelf, which was a photo of Zhou ZIyang and his son. He took a photo and sent it to the group: “@JiangPingce, the photo frame you said was taken from the deceased’s office, is it also this big?”
Jiang Pingce thought carefully about the traces on the bookshelf and said, “The traces of 20 cm long and 3 cm wide are consistent with this photo frame.”
Yue Xingwen guessed: “Maybe he once went to take a set of family photos with his wife and child. The photo studio sent him several photo frames, and he put one of them on the bookshelf in the office. Later, when he broke up with his wife, he took the photo frame away?”
As if to confirm Yue Xingwen’s words, Lan Yarong quickly said: “There is a photo frame buckled in the desk drawer?” She opened the drawer and found photo frames buckled in the drawer.
Turning it over, it was an intimate photo of him and his wife holding hands.
Yue Xingwen took a photo and sent it to the group: “It may be like this, he wants to cheat with his lover in the office, so he took the photo of himself and his wife home and put it away.”
This explanation made sense, otherwise, there was no reason for the photo that was well placed on the shelves to be suddenly taken away.
Yue Xingwen continued to flip through the bookcase. The storage compartment under the bookcase, the height was about 60 cm, he squatted down to open the storage space, and actually found a whole row of safes!
All three safe, all set with a six-digit password.
Yue Xingwen asked in the group: “Do you know the password of his safe?”
Ke Shaobin quickly replied: “Probably the same as the password of the drawer in his office, try 768315.”
Yue Xingwen entered the password, and with a ding, the box really opened.
Then, he and Lan Yarong were stunned at the same time——
They saw that there were a large number of gold bars stored in the safe on the far left, and under the illumination of the Spirit Lamp, the box full of gold bars was dazzling. It was so much gold, it was estimated that it could be exchanged for tens of millions of yuan when sold.
While taking photos, Yue Xingwen discussed with Lan Yarong in a low voice, “It seems that his gray income is far beyond our imagination.”
Lan Yarong frowned and said, “Ordinary husband and wife divorce cases should not give so much money to the lawyer privately; The cases he handled, we have to carefully review them after we go back.”
Yue Xingwen thought that Zhou Ziyang once stole an important client from Lawyer Qi—— Venus Group. This was a well-known local Leading Internet company, and Zhou Ziyang was currently also the legal advisor of Venus Group. Could there be something wrong with the Venus Group, which privately stuffed him with money as hush money?
Yue Xingwen temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to search the bookcase.
Lan Yarong opened all the drawers of the desk and took photos of all the documents in the drawers for evidence.
To her surprise, there were various medical insurance and commercial insurance contracts in the drawer, but she couldn’t find a paper version of the divorce agreement. It seemed that Zhou Ziyang just wrote the agreement on the computer before he had time to print and sign and officially go through the divorce procedure with his wife. He might be hesitating, so he called his wife after drinking, hoping to get back together.
A divorce agreement that was not printed or signed had no legal effect at all.
Therefore, legally speaking, the spouse Liu Lan was still the first heir to Zhou Ziyang’s property after his death.
Lan Yarong flipped to the last drawer, and suddenly, Xin Yan’s voice came from the bedroom next door, “I found a business card box in the drawer of the bedside table in the bedroom. I took a photo and posted it in the group.”
The evidence in the deceased’s room could not be taken away for the time being, in case the police came to collect evidence in the future, it would cause a lack of evidence, so Yue Xingwen’s strategy was: only took photos for analysis, and did not move the evidence.
Seeing the photos of the business card box in the group, Ke Shaobin immediately searched the laptop and quickly concluded: “The business card folder is full of client contact information that has business dealings with him, but there is a business card that I can’t find in the laptop.”
Ke Shaobin’s laptop had information on all the cases handled by Zhou Ziyang in the past few years, and he had also compiled a ‘client information sheet’ of the cases handled by Lawyer Zhou, which was very convenient to query.
The name of the person who could not be found was Li Decheng, and Lawyer Zhou did not help this person handle any cases, but Li Decheng’s business card was found at home. He kept this business card, he must have a private connection with the other party, otherwise, there was no need to take the business card that was not used home and put it in the business card box. Most people would discard it casually.
Ke Shaobin immediately went online to search for Li Decheng’s information, but the result surprised him: “Li Decheng is Chen Xueqin’s ex-husband, a very rich businessman!”
Seeing this message, Yue Xingwen asked Lan Yarong softly, “Senior sister, he has a private connection with Li Decheng. If he helped Chen Xueqin handle the divorce case, but accepts Chen Xueqin’s husband’s money, deliberately loses the lawsuit, and asked the court to award custody of the child to the other party, is that possible?”
Lan Yarong frowned and replied, “There are regulations in the legal profession that you can’t eat both sides. In divorce cases, collecting money from both husband and wife at the same time is a taboo in the industry, and if he is discovered, his lawyer’s license will be revoked.”
On the surface, he helped Chen Xueqin handle the case, privately collected her husband’s money, and even helped her husband come up with ideas and find evidence…
Once discovered, Zhou Ziyang’s career was over.
Therefore, he would privately accept bribes, and did not dare to put the money on the table?
Yue Xingwen thought for a moment and said, “Continue to look for clues. After searching his house, we will go back and discuss again.”
The four people searched Zhou Ziyang’s home, but did not find new evidence.
But today’s harvest was enough, Yue Xingwen brought a lot of photos, and then he let Qin Lu’s Plate Movement to teleport back.
After returning to Xiao Nian’s residence, Yue Xingwen asked everyone to collect the photos taken to Ke Shaobin and save them in the laptop. The time was already 00:00 am in the morning, Yue Xingwen said, “A few of you that had a night shift yesterday can go to sleep first, the rest continue to analyze the clues and watch the monitoring.” Zhang Xiaonian’s residence was a suite of three bedrooms and one living room in Building C of Jinzuo Garden. Xu Yishen, Liu Zhaoqing, Ke Shaobin, Xin Yan decided to stay here, two people in a room, they could go to work in a taxi together, it was also convenient to communicate with teammates at any time.
Lan Yarong’s house was a two-bedroom LOFT apartment, just across the street in the Xinghai Apartment building, and the two sisters Qin Lu and Qin Miao stayed with her. Zhuo Feng continued to live in the duty room of the property, and Lin Manluo lived alone.
Jiang Pingce didn’t like to huddle with too many people, so Yue Xingwen decided to take him back to his apartment, and said, “Pingce, you live with me. My bachelor apartment is quite spacious, I’ll take you back to sleep first, you haven’t slept for 30 hours.”
The two of them were roommates in the library, and Jiang Pingce was naturally willing to live with Xingwen.
After everyone allocated a place to stay, Yue Xingwen first took Jiang Pingce back to sleep.
The two came to the lobby of Xinghai Apartment side by side. The entrance hall was very luxuriously decorated, with gorgeous crystal chandeliers hanging above their heads. This was a hotel-style high-end apartment, with two elevators, a total height of 33 floors. Yue Xingwen lived on the top floor, the law firm was indeed wealthy and generous for arranging such good conditions for interns.
He and Jiang Pingce came to the elevator, pressed the up button. The elevator door opened, Jiang Pingce walked in the door, but Yue Xingwen suddenly stopped, as if he thought of something, staring intently at the elevator next to him.
Jiang Pingce looked at his face and couldn’t help but wonder, “What’s wrong?”
There was no one around, and the hall was empty.
Yue Xingwen lowered his voice and said, “The current time is 00:00 am in the morning, the No. 1 elevator of the apartment stops on the 1st floor, and the No. 2 elevator stops on the 17th floor, which should be a fixed design to facilitate people to go up and down the floors.”
For apartments with a total height of 33 floors, one of the elevators automatically stopped on the 1st floor for people to go upstairs at any time; Another elevator automatically returned to the 17th floor when unoccupied, making it easier for residents on the upper floors to spend less time going downstairs.
Yue Xingwen looked back at Jiang Pingce and said, “But last night, I remember very well, when I went out with senior sister Lan and senior sister Manluo to the crime scene, both elevators stopped on the 1st floor. We waited for several minutes for the elevator to reach the top floor.”
Jiang Pingce quickly understood what Yue Xingwen meant and said, “At that time, someone went out, and the two elevators would be on the 1st floor?”
At the same time, it was 00:00 am in the morning.
If the apartment set the elevator to stop on the 1st floor by default, it should be the same as last night, and both elevators were on the 1st floor.
However, Yue Xingwen saw that at this moment, the No. 2 elevator stopped motionless on the 17th floor, and had no intention of descending at all. It had been proved that the default setting of the apartment was—— The No. 1 elevator automatically returned to the 1st floor, and No. 2 elevator automatically stopped on the 17th floor!
Last night, just before Yue Xingwen went out, someone had just left Xinghai Apartment. Moreover, this person must live above the 17th floor or a nearby floor, therefore, after he pressed the ‘down’ button, the elevator that stopped on the 17th floor would pick this person up first because of the ‘closer’, and he used this elevator to go down, causing both elevators to stop on the 1st floor the moment Yue Xingwen went out.
Could this person who went out at 00:00 am in the middle of the night be related to Zhou Ziyang’s death case?
