My Wife, The Ice Queen President-Chapter 449 - 0448 Murong Ruyin’s Anger (Third Shift)_1
Chapter 449: Chapter 0448 Murong Ruyin’s Anger (Third Shift)_1
After copying the video, He Mengji opened it. When they saw the figure that appeared in the video, both were stunned.
It was a woman completely enveloped in a black cloak. Her actual face couldn’t be seen at all in the video. She was very familiar with the locations of the company’s surveillance cameras, intentionally keeping her head down and using a hat to block her face whenever she passed one. From her figure, she appeared to be a woman.
“This woman is very familiar with the company’s surveillance footage. It seems that if she isn’t the mole, someone has provided her with the information,” said He Mengji.
“Let’s see where else she went.”
He Mengji reviewed the video, and when she saw the figure entering an office on the third floor, they were completely shocked.
That was none other than Murong Ruyin’s office.
...
“What is she doing in Murong Ruyin’s office? Could it be…” He Mengji’s face showed a look of shock.
“The assassin can’t possibly be Murong Ruyin.”
Although Ye Xiong said so, even he couldn’t be sure at this moment.
If the killer wasn’t her, what was she doing in Murong Ruyin’s office, and moreover, where did the killer get the key?
As they watched, when the killer left, her departure was less than a minute before Ye Xiong’s car appeared at the entrance. The timing was very precise.
Without a mole, that would be the real surprise.
“Could it be that among the people we dined with, there’s a mole?” guessed He Mengji.
“Not necessarily. It’s also possible that someone has been tailing us, reporting our whereabouts to the other party all along,” said Ye Xiong.
He Mengji found his point sensible. She rewound the video to the moment when the female assassin was leaving, paused it, and said, “This female assassin is about 1.67 or 1.68 meters tall, which matches Murong Ruyin’s height.”
“How can you tell?”
“See that small door? Every evening when we finish work, I close the main door and only leave the small one open, because there’s an invisible height marker on it. This woman was measured at about 1.73 meters tall, but the shoes she’s wearing are about 4 centimeters tall, so if you subtract that, her height is around 1.67 or 1.68 meters.”
Ye Xiong hadn’t expected He Mengji to have left so many hidden secrets within the company and couldn’t help but see her in a new light.
“From the current evidence, Murong Ruyin is the biggest suspect.”
“Why would she do such a thing?”
“That’s what you need to investigate.”
“I’ll go and talk to her.”
Ye Xiong left the office, and several people gathered around him.
Chen Xiao asked, “How did it go, did you find the murderer?”
“No, all the evidence has been destroyed, and we have no leads for now. You guys go and rest; I will notify you if I need anything,” Ye Xiong didn’t mention the backup video.
After all, he trusted no one now.
He didn’t immediately go to find Murong Ruyin, but first went to her office.
He used a key to unlock the door, turned on the light, and from the doorway, his gaze swept through the room like lightning, eventually settling on the human-shaped dummy in the center.
Seeing the layout of the human-shaped dummy, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Ten minutes later, Ye Xiong left the office and walked towards the employee apartment building behind the company building, about fifty meters away—a five-story apartment building.
This was a place where only key company personnel were qualified to live.
Murong Ruyin lived here on the fourth floor.
Once on the fourth floor, Ye Xiong walked towards the room on the left, arriving in front of Murong Ruyin’s room, he knocked on the door.
The window next to her opened, and Murong Ruyin, with her face covered, appeared beside it. Seeing him, she frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Late at night, a man running to a woman’s house and knocking on her door instinctively put her on alert.
“I’ve got something to talk to you about.”
Murong Ruyin hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and locked the window before finally pulling down her mask to reveal her true face.
There was a sofa in the living room, a TV hanging on the wall, and also an air conditioner, fridge.
All of these were provided by the company, and apart from that, there was nothing else, indicating that Murong Ruyin lived a very simple life.
“You came to see me, what’s the matter?” Murong Ruyin asked indifferently.
Ye Xiong didn’t speak, just stared at her unblinkingly.
At first, Murong Ruyin didn’t mind, but as time went on, she couldn’t stand it anymore and said irritably, “Coming to a girl’s house in the middle of the night, not saying anything, just staring at someone, what exactly do you mean by this?”
“I was captivated by your beauty,” Ye Xiong said deliberately, testing her.
“You aren’t here just to tell me this, right?” Murong Ruyin’s gaze fixed on his eyes.
Their eyes met in mid-air, seemingly trying to read the meaning in each other’s gazes.
In the end, it was Ye Xiong who looked away first.
There were two possibilities: the first, the killer wasn’t Murong Ruyin at all; the second, Murong Ruyin had an incredibly strong psychological quality.
In her eyes, Ye Xiong saw not a trace of fear, her gaze was very clear.
“Half an hour ago, the company was attacked, six employees who stayed behind were killed, this is the weapon used by the killer.”
Ye Xiong placed the poisoned Silver Needle on the table in front of her and watched for her reaction.
Murong Ruyin glanced at the poisoned needle and asked, “Do you suspect it was me?”
Ye Xiong didn’t answer, but continued to ask, “I want to know, did you leave your room tonight?”
“I did.”
“When?”
“The time the killer snuck into the company.”
“Don’t you think you need to explain?” Ye Xiong asked.
“I don’t think I need to explain, if you have evidence, just arrest me. If you don’t have evidence, I hope you investigate thoroughly before you accuse me. Right now, you don’t have any evidence proving I’m the killer, yet you come to my room in the middle of the night to interrogate me. Even the police wouldn’t do that, right?”
“I’m speaking to you as a friend, I don’t want you to make one mistake after another.”
“What do you mean by ‘one mistake after another’? Do you understand the implications of your words? You are prejudging the matter as my doing.”
Murong Ruyin’s voice clearly rose in anger; she suddenly pointed to the mirror over there and shouted, “Go look in the mirror and see what your face looks like. Have you ever treated me as a friend?”
Ye Xiong was silent.
“From the moment you picked me up at the station, have you ever trusted me?”
“You went to pick up Duanmu Linglong with smiles and laughter, threw her a welcome party, I don’t blame you for that, I know my own personality. But ask yourself, do you have a fair scale in your heart?”
“When I had a fight with Duanmu Linglong, you seemed fair, but you were actually biased toward her. You knew she insulted me first, why didn’t you criticize her? If it had been me who cursed first, you probably would have already scolded me, right?”
“If it hadn’t been for me saving your wife twice, if you hadn’t received a trust from my father, you probably would have kicked me out before Duanmu Linglong even joined the company, right?”
Murong Ruyin’s voice grew more and more agitated, her chest heaved violently, and a tear swirled in her eyes, glistening.
