The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

"Let Hank and Dido in for a moment, I have something to say to them."

Yu Lian knew her place. After calling the couple over, she quickly went to the room. The incident had happened so suddenly that she hadn't had time to inform Jasmine. Fortunately, Jasmine only waited anxiously at the door and didn't leave the room.

"Where did you go? You scared me to death!"

"Ms. Samuel had a little mishap just now, let's go inside and talk."

Seeing her acting mysteriously, Jasmine followed her inside and locked the door.

"What happened? Is she alright?"

Just as Yu Lian was about to answer, the hotel's funeral bell tolled. This was a tradition of the Samuel family; whenever a family member passed away, the bell would toll three times.

Yu Lian mentally reviewed the people around her at the time, and after confirming everything was correct, she sincerely praised the hotel's staff training—in an emergency, the safety of guests would be guaranteed immediately. Therefore, the surrounding crowd had already been evacuated before the guest even saw the person who had collapsed. Only staff witnessed Samuel's entire rescue process; anyone working at the hotel must have undergone rigorous screening.

Seeing that she was ignoring the funeral bell, Jasmine assumed she didn't understand the local customs and reminded her, "Didn't you hear it?"

"I heard you."

"So you're overly sad now?"

"Shh—this has nothing to do with Ms. Samuel. I don't know more, but let's not discuss it privately."

There seems to be no fear of death here; most of the people who come to this hotel are of high status. In just one afternoon, a memorial to Mrs. Samuel was erected on the lawn in front of the hotel. Her photograph was displayed, surrounded by bouquets of white flowers, and some even had small teddy bears—her favorite kind.

Knowing the truth, Jasmine almost broke down when she saw the procession of mourners rushing from inside to outside the gate. She quickly pulled Yu Lian away in another direction until bushes concealed their figures.

"Why did you drag me here? You know I can't keep secrets. If I actually laughed, all those people crying next to me would roll their eyes at me and kill me."

"Pah, pah, pah—you're pregnant, what are you talking about dying for? I'm not here for a visit, I told you to rest in your room, but you insisted on coming with me."

"Then what are you doing here?"

Yu Lian cautiously peeked out and sat on the bench. This position was just right to block the view from the opposite side without hindering her observation.

"I'm here to catch the murderer. You know, there's a type of murderer who loves to go back to the scene after the crime to admire their work; they treat the victim's death as their masterpiece. Based on Ms. Samuel's description, I deduced that her friend of most of her life was probably this kind of person."

Jasmine was skeptical: "You're here to work, I'm here to relax. How did things suddenly turn into a crime scene? And why are you talking so strangely? I'd think you were a cop!"

Yu Lian chuckled and explained, "Didn't we arrest Jiang Qingke before? During that time, I was frequently going to the Yuncheng Public Security Bureau. I happened to come across a case, and I talked to the officer in charge. He analyzed it for me. I felt that the friend described by Ms. Samuel was very similar, so I dared to make a bold guess."

Should I praise you for being smart?

Yu Lian stared intently at the crowd of people who came to pay their respects, and said without any modesty, "You can praise me after we catch the person."

The two sat on the bench for more than an hour, during which Jasmine stood and sat down repeatedly, her cloth bag filled with trash from her snacks.

"You go back first, I feel like it'll be soon."

"I knew Ms. Samuel was impressive, but I didn't expect her to be this amazing. You didn't see the huge crowd at the door; even at night, it's unlikely that all the people would have made it."

Yu Lian had carefully considered the situation before coming: "She's put on such a show in front of Ms. Samuel for so many years, she won't be in a hurry. According to what Ms. Samuel told me, the news would have spread at least half an hour to an hour after her accident, plus the travel time and other expenses, that's four or five hours. Two and a half hours have passed now, which means she hasn't arrived yet. She might come as night falls. You go back first, and watch out for the steps on the way. Oh, and have the waiter bring me some food and a blanket."

Jasmine, hands on her hips, stared intently at the woman. "You really intend to stay here for most of the day? Fine, I'm going back now. Remember, if there's any danger, run!"

"Okay, please drive carefully."

Jasmine is now quite far along in her pregnancy, and if Yu Lian didn't know her personality well, she would never have agreed to bring her along.

After Jasmine left, she was the only one left on the road. Yu Lian watched silently, even pulling out a small pair of binoculars from somewhere to observe the expressions on everyone's faces.

Ms. Samuel did not have a photograph of the murderer. She rarely took photos, and their meetings were only held on a vacation to a deserted island in the south. It was a quiet, scenic island, privately owned, and even communication was very basic, requiring mail to be delivered by hand once a week. Therefore, they never took pictures of each other during their meetings, especially since the other party had explicitly stated that he did not like being photographed.

Soon the waiter brought her the supplies, along with Grandpa Hank.

"How's it going, Miss Yu? I heard you're looking for someone for the boss."

Yu Lian turned her head: "Oh, it's you. I was just looking around, and I haven't found anything yet."

"Here you go, this is something the boss asked me to pass on to you. She's gone, but her estate remains. Now she's facing not only the elusive murderer, but also a bunch of relatives and government officials eyeing Ms. Samuel's inheritance. She hopes you can help her deal with it."

Yu Lian thought it was a portrait or something, but by the time Hank handed it to her, it was too late.

"no……"

"You continue to observe; I'll go take care of things in the lobby now."

Holding this hot potato, Yu Lian went from being at a loss to being resolute in less than ten seconds. This time, she had absolutely no reason to refuse Ms. Samuel.

evening.

The setting sun cast its golden rays across the land, bathing the entire meadow in a golden glow. The queue remained long. Yu Lian glanced at the hands of her watch, which were pointing to the time she had estimated.

Looking from front to back, everyone wore the same expression. Some came alone, while others came in small groups, chatting occasionally, but the overall atmosphere was one of oppression and sadness.

Ten minutes later, the line moved forward a bit, and Yu Lian noticed a distinctive, exquisitely dressed middle-aged woman. She was wiping away tears from her cheeks from time to time. Her clothes were similar to those of the people around her, all wearing black evening gowns. What caught Yu Lian's attention was her makeup.
