Chapter 272: Glasses

“We’ll just have to call her over to find out.” Xiao Rui said and half an hour later, Yu Xuan appeared before them.

“What’s the matter, officer? Is there something you need from me?”Yu Xuan looked at Xiao Rui and Mo Li and asked politely.

“Miss Yu, you were at Huan Yu the morning your boss died, right?” Kang Zhi asked anxiously.

“She was.” Mo Li stood up and pulled Kang Zhi away. “The person you met was indeed Miss Yu but there was another Miss Yu in Dong Yun’s office too.”

“What do you mean?” Kang Zhi was confused.

“Miss Yu, do you mind taking off your glasses?” After she did, Mo Li pointed at Xiao Rui’s police badge. “Can you read the content on this badge for me?”

“I’m highly myopic, I can’t read it, sorry.” Yu Xuan said calmly. Her eyes didn’t dart about.

Holding the pair of glasses, Mo Li said, “Based on the thickness on the lens, Miss Yu should be at least have 700 degrees in myopia. However, when Miss Yu was questioning Zhao Jing at the mall, the camera showed that you were not wearing any glasses. So how did you manage to take down Zhao Jing’s name and work number on her work id without leaning in closer?”

“I was wearing contact lenses that day.” Yu Xuan took the glasses from Mo Li and put them back on. “That day my glasses fell to the ground so I changed into my contact lenses. It’s not unlawful to have both glasses and contact lenses, right?”

“Then can you unlock the elevator with your left eye?” Mo Li didn’t expose her but continued with her next question.

“No, I cannot. I can only use my right eye.”

“But then Mr. Zhao said that both eyes could be used to access the corneal scan.” Mo Li got this information from that day when Mr. Zhao called. Mo Li asked him about his singular black eye and Mr. Zhao answered that his wife left his other eye untouched so he could still get to work.

To confirm the testimony, Xiao Rui called Andy. Andy explained, “Hmm, during the set up of the corneal scan, Secretary Yu requested that we registered both of our irises. Is there a problem?”

“But Secretary Yu told us that she only registered her right eye.” Xiao Rui said. “Which is very weird.” Mo Li added.

“Do you know the story of the 2 blind men? They bought a pair of black and white socks. They bumped into each other and the socks got mixed up. So how could they ensure that they would get a correct socks back?”

“I know!” Andy’s voice came from the phone. “I used to use jokes like these to entertain my clients. The blind men took one from the each pair of socks and so in the end… Oh, wait, that’s what you mean!” Andy gasped in shock.

“That’s right, one each. It’s the same case here too.”

“You mean Yu Xuan did register 2 irises but the other iris belongs to someone else? But once that other person uses the elevator, they will be exposed because they are not Yu Xuan. After all, only 4 people can use that elevator.”

“Unless of course, that person looks just like Yu Xuan.” Mo Li looked at Yu Xian, “The myopia, the ability to be at 2 places at once, the singular iris lock, they all point towards one thing. Miss Yu Xuan has a twin.”

“That’s can’t be. We’ve not heard of Secretary Yu having a twin sister.” Andy said.

Xiao Rui also shook his head. “Are you sure you are not mistaken? There’s no record of her having a twin in the files. According to the files, she is an only child.” However, as Xiao Rui said that, he began to doubt himself. Due to the population of China, the citizenry files couldn’t be relied on 100 percent of the time. Mistakes were common in them.

“For Yu Xuan’s age, when she was born, our country has a strict 1 child policy. Perhaps that’s why the existence of the twin has been hidden away,” Kang Zhi offered.

“Having twins are not against the policy. There’s no need to hide it.” Si Lin was about the same age as Yu Xuan. Even though she was not a twin, she did have relatives who were twin. They were not punished by the government policy.

“And that is the key of the problem.”
