Capítulo 50: Two Kinds Of Roles
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Zi shut her mouth and picked up the cup on the table before taking two sips slowly.
If not for the fact that it was an emergency, she would not have poked her old friend so much. With Jiang Ci's explosive temper, Mu Zi might find herself in a path of destruction if she was not careful.
The waiter brought cold beer and two bowls of beef noodles, one non-spicy, and the other without onions.
Mu Zi looked at the two beef noodle bowls on the table and smiled with emotion. "I remember that I used to advise you against eating spicy food and drinking chilled drinks because it's harmful to your stomach, but you never listened to me and said that it's more delicious to eat it like this."
"What happened to you?" Jiang Ci accepted her identity but was still in disbelief.
She looked at Mu Zi and even stretched out a hand to pinch her face, scrutinizing her. "How did you become like this? Cosmetic surgery? ...But how is it possible for cosmetic surgery to turn you into a child? You're half a head shorter than before!"
"Little Ci," Mu Zi helplessly pulled her hand away. "Su Zi is dead. I'm Mu Zi now."
Su Zi was dead...
Even if she was here alive and talking, it could not change the fact that she was dead.
The two people sank into silence.
"The officer investigating the scene determined that you accidentally fell into the water."
Jiang Ci began to speak after a long while.
"I don't believe it. How could you have died? However, they didn't find any suspicious points. The only useful confession we have is from Qiao Jingjia. She said that since it was your wedding anniversary, you prepared a surprise for Mu Zening and asked him to meet you at the bow. The police judged that you were in the process of preparing the gift when you inadvertently fell into the water and eventually drowned…"
Mu Zi smiled thinly as her tone grew mocking. "Do you know what that Qiao Jingjia told me? She said that Mu Zening prepared a surprise for me and asked me to meet him at the bow."
Jiang Ci's vision immediately went red at her words!
"You mean… The mastermind was Qiao Jingjia?" She clenched her fists. The joints of her fingers cracked. "The one who hurt you was her?!"
"I don't know." Mu Zi looked out of the window with a distant expression and said softly, "I was standing by the railing and someone pushed me off the boat from behind, so I didn't see their face. However, that person was very strong and should be a man…"
"But Qiao Jingjia deliberately made a false confession. She definitely has something to do with this incident!" Jiang Ci was furious.
"You're right." Mu Zi laughed softly, light and faint.
After her rebirth, she already passed the stage of emotional anger. Now, all that was left was numb calmness.
She said, "Qiao Jingjia will only play two kinds of roles in this incident. Either she's the mastermind and hired someone to kill for her, or she's an accomplice who is covering for the true culprit. No matter what role she is, she's an important piece of the puzzle."
Jiang Ci took a deep breath and tried to suppress her violent emotions.
"What do you want me to do?"
"I need a list of everyone who was on the yacht that night. It should be easy for you to get."
Jiang Ci nodded. "I can check the archives for the file. There should be a record."
Mu Zi took out an old tin box from the bag she carried with her. "Also, help me keep this. The place where I live now isn't very convenient."
Jiang Ci opened the tin box and saw that it was full of photos. She looked at Mu Zi in confusion.
Mu Zi raised her chin and motioned for her to continue looking. "Keep it well. It'll be of great use in the future."
Jiang Ci casually took out a few photos, and her eyes widened in horror...
