In a blink of an eye, Shen Yuanye put the embarrassing incident of being discovered while peeking at the mall behind her.
Before it was Qiu Ling's birthday, she watched the video several times and tried it in front of her bed, but she still couldn't determine the murderer's height.
Currently there is only one piece of information, that the murderer has a very good relationship with Qiu Ling because they have the key to the apartment.
Qiu Ling was sleeping, which meant that this person either didn't leave, or opened the door and went in by himself. Obviously, the latter is more likely.
Since even the key can be given, it means that the relationship is good.
…
The place where Qiu Ling's birthday party was held was her apartment.
Although it is not big, it is almost enough for such a dozen people, and it does not take long, a few hours is enough.
At 7:30 that night, Shen Yuanye took a taxi and went there.
Qiu Ling's apartment was still a little far away from her, and it happened to be eight o'clock when she arrived.
When she arrived, Qiu Ling didn't open the door.
The round-faced girl moved away from her side with a smile, "Hey... hello, are you Qiu Ling's friend? Come in quickly."
Shen Yuanye said politely: "Hello."
"My name is Qian Yun." The round-faced girl said.
Qiu Ling quickly came out of the room, "Is Yuan Ye here?"
Shen Yuanye nodded to her and handed over the gift, "Happy birthday."
"Do you still bring gifts?" Qiu Ling actually said that she would not be allowed to bring gifts, but how could it be possible for Shen Yuanye not to bring anything for the host's birthday.
Everyone in the apartment came together.
Qiu Ling introduced them one by one, and Shen Yuanye took advantage of the opportunity to look at all ten people, trying to see a flower from their faces.
For Shen Yuanye, the boys were all impressed.
But when she saw her height, she backed off. She looked like a girl at 1.8 meters, and it was too tall. She was even taller than herself in high heels.
Shen Yuanye could see the meaning in their eyes and didn't speak.
She chose a corner location, talked to Qiu Ling for a few minutes, and then acted as a transparent person, observing other people.
In a few words, the relationship between these people was also revealed.
Qian Yun and Liu Huanxin were Qiu Ling's high school classmates, while the other six were college classmates, and the remaining two men were actors in the company, one named Lu Jian and the other named Su Zhengyu.
They all knew each other because of Qiu Ling's introduction. Although some of them were not very familiar with each other, they could still talk, so they came to celebrate her birthday with a group of people.
Except for Qiu Ling who was working as a model and entered the entertainment circle, the other six college students had different occupations and were basically involved in several circles. Only Chen Zhen and Li Mei were in the same company.
Lu Jian and Su Zhengyu are very handsome, and their popularity among them is pretty good.
At half past eight, Qian Yun received a call.
It was too noisy outside, so she simply closed the door and entered Qiu Ling's room.
Shen Yuanye was immediately attracted by her.
Within two minutes, Qian Yun came out and said directly: "Qiu Ling, it's over, my dad is home, I have to go back before ten o'clock, if you continue later, I will leave first."
Shen Yuanye still remembered that she opened the door for herself.
If she really left so early, the reason is also true. Not to mention that she is not suspected, but compared to others, her suspicion will be much lower.
Qiu Ling thought for a while, "Since uncle is back, you can't do it if you don't go back, so let's go ahead, anyway, it's today, so there's no difference."
Qian Yun's father is notoriously strict with his daughter. When they were in school, they always limited the time to go home. Once they played too much, Qian Yun was fined at home the next day and did not go to school.
A group of people nodded, "I have no objection."
"I have no objection either."
"It's better to be in advance, go back early, don't stay up late, or you will have to doze off at work tomorrow."
A few people chatted and laughed, and casually mentioned interesting things in the school before, which made Shen Yuanye at the side feel that their relationship was very good.
She knew almost these ten people by now.
Since everyone hadn't eaten dinner, Qian Yun volunteered to go to the kitchen with Qiu Ling.
In the kitchen, Qian Yun was preparing something to drink, while Qiu Ling was cutting fruit beside her.
The laughter outside came in, and Qian Yun could still see some through the glass window. She turned her head and asked, "Qiu Ling, does Lu Jian have a girlfriend? I asked him and he said no. Is this true? You The same company as him must know, and you didn’t tell me when I asked you last time.”
"Hiss." Qiu Ling gasped.
Qian Yun hurried to look, "What's wrong?"
"Accidentally cut to the side." Qiu Ling put her fingers in her mouth and sucked, then lowered her head and said, "You have to ask him about this kind of thing..."
Qian Yun stared at her, and asked directly: "Can I ask if I still want to find you? It's not like you don't know, I liked him a year ago."
Qiu Ling listened to her words, "The fruit is ready, I'm going out."
She left the kitchen with the fruit plate, leaving Qian Yun there, gritted her teeth, took out her phone, looked at it, typed a word, and finally followed her out with the cup.
Everyone unceremoniously reached for food.
Liu Huanxin moved to Qian Yun's side and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Have you heard about it?"
Qian Yun's face almost fell down, "What did she find out, she didn't say a word. The reaction was exactly the same as last time."
"There's no need to talk about it. If you don't have it, you don't have it. If you have it, you have it." Liu Huanxin curled her lips, and suddenly moved closer to her, "Tell me, will this..."
She didn't finish her words, but Qian Yun understood the meaning.
Qian Yun took a piece of orange, lowered her head, her bangs covered her eyes, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's her birthday today, let's say something happy."
After Qiu Ling put the fruit plate away, she looked up and saw Li Mei on the far left of the sofa, looking down and playing with her mobile phone. She walked over and took Li Mei's mobile phone, "Why are you playing with your mobile phone here?"
"Don't move!" Li Mei immediately stood up and shouted.
Everyone didn't take this sound seriously. Seeing her nervous appearance, Qiu Ling stretched out her hand and handed it to her, "Who are you sending a secret message to? Look at you, I will wipe your cake later."
Li Mei put away her mobile phone, breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Come here! Let's see who puts on who."
It was a mess again.
Half an hour later, the cake was brought out.
Maybe because Shen Yuanye was an outsider, except for Qiu Ling who gave her a plate of cake, no one else even smeared cake on her body when they went crazy.
There was still falling cream on the floor in the living room, and Qiu Ling even got it on her hair, which looked horrible.
Until nine o'clock, I finally finished eating the cake.
Qian Yun also left early at this time. Before leaving, he went to the bathroom to wash the cream, accidentally tripped Li Mei, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I didn't see it, my eyes were covered in cakes."
Li Mei waved her hand.
Qian Yun walked away, and a group of people bid farewell and left scatteredly.
In the end, she and Li Mei and Chen Zhen were the only ones left. Shen Yuanye saw that Qiu Ling had no intention of going to sleep.
Li Mei suddenly said: "Chen Zhen, take me for a while, just on the way."
Chen Zhen, who was talking to Qiu Ling, turned his head, "Okay, wait a minute. My gift is still in the car, I'll go get it to Qiu Ling."
He said and went downstairs.
Qiu Ling smiled, "Before Chen Zhen came in empty-handed, I thought he was here to cheat the cake, but I didn't expect to end up here."
Li Mei sat opposite her, her eyes flickered, and she laughed, "Qiu Ling, you have to see what he has prepared, if it fails, it doesn't count."
Just as he was talking, Chen Zhen came up, a big box half the height of a person.
Qiu Ling disassembled it by herself, and there was an exquisite figure inside, which could be seen to be custom-made, and the hair, eyes and skin were all done very realistically.
Immediately she exclaimed: "How much is this, is it very expensive? You are spending too much."
Seeing that she was happy, Chen Zhen smiled, "As long as you like it."
It was getting late, and he didn't say much. He was about to leave after chatting a few more words. Li Mei followed behind him, "Qiu Ling, let's go first."
The two left at the same time.
In the end, only Shen Yuanye was left in the apartment.
Seeing that it was almost time, she got up and said, "I'm about to leave too."
Shen Yuanye had been sitting in a corner before, observing the behavior of ten people, so far, almost none of them seemed suspicious to her.
Qiu Ling came over, "So early?"
"It's ten o'clock." Shen Yuanye looked at the time, at this time she almost had to go back to wash and sleep, otherwise she would have dark circles.
Only then did Qiu Ling nod, "Okay, then I'll see you off."
Shen Yuanye refused: "Someone came to pick me up, but you still have things to clean up."
She waved her mobile phone, and when she came to the door, she suddenly said, "Qiu Ling, do you alone have the key to your apartment? My manager is going to get another one."
Qiu Ling was surprised by her question, but she still replied: "My agent asked me to give it, because she kept scolding me, and I was afraid she would come in and tell me...so I have it alone. Speaking of which, tonight So crazy, I don’t know where to put the key.”
She turned to look for it.
Shen Yuanye's eyes flashed, "Look for it."
Qiu Ling's voice came out of the room, "I found it."
Shen Yuanye also knew in his heart that no one stole the key, and no one had the key, so the murderer got in by improper means.
But who she really didn't know.
"I go first."
When Qiu Ling heard this, she quickly ran out of the room, "Be careful on the road!"
When she got to the elevator, Shen Yuanye couldn't help but turn her head. Qiu Ling was sticking out her head by the door, seeing her looking back and waving with a smile.
Shen Yuanye entered the elevator, and at the last second when the door closed, he saw Qiu Ling's face.
All ten people left, and Qiu Ling didn't go to bed halfway, but she was basically doomed today, which meant that she didn't sleep until after people left.
Shen Yuanye couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Is this murderer among the ten people, or outside the ten people
