Chapter 39
Sorrow
So as long as she stayed away from the male and female protagonists at the memorial service the next day, she should be fine, right?
Other than Feng Jing, the other key characters would not have much contact with her. Everyone’s attention should be focused on Yin Ning.
According to the plot in the novel, Feng Jing would fall in love with the female protagonist the following day, so he might have some contact with Yin Ning.
Yin Tao thought for a moment and decided to play by ear the following day.
The next morning, Yin Tao chose a simple black suit, tied her hair into a neat ponytail and went out barefaced.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the police station, Yin Tao saw Feng Jing in a black suit.
Feng Jing usually preferred casual wear. Due to the job demands of a detective, he frequently had to work through the night, so it is most important to be in comfortable clothes.
Yin Tao couldn’t take her eyes off Feng Jing. His black suit made his perfect physique even more obvious.
His long legs and broad shoulders made him look mature and elegant. His cold and deep set eyes looked more mysterious when set against the black fabric.
Yin Tao started to wonder how Xi Feng was dressed today. How stunning must he look to be able to outshine Feng Jing?
“Get in the car.” Feng Jing was also a little surprised when he saw Yin Tao’s bare face. Usually, Yin Tao would still look a little more mature when she put on makeup. But right now, she looked like an underaged girl, and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched for her to address him as uncle.
“Pay attention to the males in their thirties.” Feng Jing started the car and said to Yin Tao.
“Alright, Captain Feng, because there’s a huge difference in the way Wei Feng and Li Chao died, my master and I feel that there should be more than one murderer.”
“Yes, I noticed it too.” Feng Jing sped up. “Actually, the murderer probably won’t appear today, but someone related to the murderer might come.”
“Do you think that the person who killed Wei Feng was someone he knew?” Yin Tao looked at Feng Jing’s side profile.
“Not necessarily, but it should be related to the Wei Corporation.”
Rather than saying that Feng Jing and Yin Tao were going to attend the memorial service, it would be more accurate to say that they were going undercover.
Soon, they arrived at the funeral parlor. Feng Jing and Yin Tao walked to the floor of Wei Feng’s memorial service together. After giving the bereavement money, Yin Tao and Feng Jing took two white flowers and pinned them on their chests.
“Is your brother and family here?” Feng Jing looked around and did not see any familiar faces. He rarely attended such occasions.
“He should have already gone in. My brother called me early in the morning to confirm the time and even instructed me not to be late.” Yin Tao did not dare speak too loudly and could only move closer to Feng Jing.
“Then let’s go in as well.” Feng Jing and Yin Tao walked into the hall and saw the grieving Wei couple at the side of the mourning hall, as well as Wei Jie who was bowing in gratitude to the guests.
Perhaps it was because the mood was too heavy, Yin Tao felt a little upset in her heart. She stepped forward and bowed to pay respects before moving to the side with Feng Jing to wait for the memorial service to begin.
Yin Tao suddenly felt that someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw Yin Ning standing with Yin Hao and Xi Feng.
She subconsciously took a few steps back to avoid Yin Ning’s gaze.
“What’s wrong?” Feng Jing lowered his head and asked softly when she sensed Yin Tao’s abnormality.
“It’s nothing.”
The two of them looked a little intimate. Yin Tao shifted slightly to the side.
The memorial service began. Sorrowful music was played. The host read the obituary. Everyone bowed and mourned.
Because Wei Feng was very young and the manner of his death was hard to swallow, everyone was in grief. The memorial service moved everyone. Seeing Wei Jie and her mother sobbing, Yin Tao’s eyes also turned red.
Thinking of her real self in the real world, Yin Tao felt that no one would feel sad because of her disappearance.
A black silk handkerchief was handed over to her. Yin Tao glanced at Feng Jing and realized that he was still very calm. She was a little embarrassed. She was so sad that she almost forgot about her mission.
…
After the memorial service ended, everyone walked out of the hall.
Yin Tao lowered her head and followed beside Feng Jing, not wanting to attract anyone’s attention.
“Little Sister Yin Tao, why did you come together with Feng Jing?”
An unfamiliar male voice sounded. Yin Tao looked over and saw Jin Chen standing beside Yin Ning.
Feng Jing didn’t know if Yin Tao was willing to reveal her occupation, so he didn’t respond. He just quietly observed Yin Tao’s reaction.
“Xiaotao and Feng Jing both work at the police station,” Yin Hao explained to Jin Chen as he walked over.
“I didn’t expect Little Sister Xiaotao to be a police officer.” Jin Chen looked at Yin Tao, who looked like a student, and was a little stunned.
