He led them through the narrow entrance, and suddenly the space opened up before them. Surrounded by a faint, mysterious fragrance, the soft pale yellow walls and the luxurious sheepskin chandelier casting a lake-green glow created an atmosphere reminiscent of an oil painting. In one corner of the living room, a tranquil lily pond silently spoke of the owner's exquisite taste. By the pond, several newspapers lay scattered on the floor, and an old rattan chair sat in solitude.
The living room was free of any unnecessary designs, and they settled onto a trio of birch wood sofas.
"I happened to be passing by, so I thought I’d drop in," Park Chi said with a goofy smile, scratching his head. Before entering the living room, he had caught Yan Xiaoque's glance and had to change his wording. "This is my..."
"I'm his neighbor, Yan Xiaoque," she interrupted with a cheerful tone. "I run a small wine shop now. Although it's a bit small, the wine is definitely top-notch! Friends get a twenty percent discount." She continued, "I heard you graduated from Donghua as well, Senior? It's true? I see you on TV all the time; I never expected to meet you in person today." It was pitiful; ever since she opened her shop, she hadn’t enjoyed a single day of watching television.
Gu Cheng looked at her with admiration and a broad smile. This girl with her neat ponytail, wearing a white T-shirt and denim overalls, had a cunning glint in her eyes that made him feel an instant connection. "Well, I can say I’m one of Donghua’s proud products. It seems Miss Yan should start calling herself Junior Yan now; your name is truly fresh and lovely. By the way, would either of you like something to drink?"
"No thanks," one replied.
"I want Nongfu Spring!" the other shouted eagerly. "Senior, where's your fridge?" Without waiting for directions, she barged toward the door.
"Yan Xiaoque!" Park Chi began to express his dissatisfaction but was silenced by the homeowner's approving gaze. "Officer, I assume your visit today isn’t just for a casual check-in; if there's something on your mind, feel free to speak directly."
"Ah..." Given the cooperative attitude, there was no need for pretense. Park Chi decisively stated, "I have news for you. A man named Lu Kai came to my station this morning to confess that he murdered your wife. I wonder—" he elongated his voice and locked eyes with Gu Cheng, "Mr. Gu, do you know this person?"
A flicker of something unusual crossed the man's eyes. "Lu Kai? He confessed?"
