"Li Minghao."
Xu Zian said the name of the boy who liked Du Rui.
Ye Zi nodded. "Alright, I got it. It looks like I should go and meet this boy."
Xu Zian suddenly thought of something and added, "Oh yes, this boy didn't come to school three days ago. I think he asked for leave."
"What a coincidence!" Ye Zi's eyes darkened when she heard that.
Three days ago, wasn't that when Du Rui died?
Why did this Li Minghao ask for leave at this time?!
Ye Zi waved her hand at Xu Zian. "Alright, you can go."
"I …" Xu Zian pointed at his nose, looking very reluctant to leave. Ye Zi chased him across half of the school. Was it just to ask him if Du Rui had any other suitors?!
He had just displayed the speed of Poffret's 100-meter sprint and sprinted across the entire school. Why was she asking him to leave just because of that?
Xu Zian stood up and prepared to leave the cafe.
"Come back."
Suddenly, Ye Zi's voice came from behind.
Xu Zian turned to look at Ye Zi. "Is, is there anything else?"
"Pay the bill before you leave." Ye Zi smiled, revealing a row of white teeth. She carried her backpack and walked to Xu Zian's side. She patted his shoulder. "Don't tell me you're asking a weak little girl like me to pay the bill?!"
Xu Zian's lips twitched slightly.
Weak little girl?!
And little girl?!
No matter how he looked at it, these two adjectives didn't seem to be used to describe Ye Zi, right?!
If she was weak, how could she chase him across half of the school?
If she was still a little girl, why would she pull him down from the back door of the school?
Xu Zian looked at Ye Zi. He had a feeling that if he didn't pay, Ye Zi would take out an AK47 from her backpack and turn him into a sieve on the spot.
Ye Zi watched Xu Zian take out his wallet and nodded in satisfaction. She raised her eyebrows and gave Xu Zian a look that said "you're very sensible".
After leaving the cafe, Ye Zi returned to school again and asked Du Rui's class teacher for Li Minghao's address.
Li Minghao actually lived in Xinglan Bay Apartments. Ye Zi didn't expect this at all.
Building 14, Unit 2, 1010.
After entering Unit 2, Ye Zi went straight to Unit 1010. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. A moment later, someone came to open the door.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties. She wore an apron and had curly teddy hair. In her hand …
Why was there a kitchen knife in her hand?!
Ye Zi was a little shocked and quickly took a step back. "Madam, you have to calm down. Calm down …"
The woman frowned and glanced at Ye Zi. "Calm down? Who are you looking for?"
Ye Zi still didn't dare to go forward. "Excuse me, is this Li Minghao's house?"
"Yes. Who are you? "The woman looked at Ye Zi from head to toe.
Ye Zi said, "I am …"
She thought about it and felt that it was a little inappropriate to tell her the purpose of her visit, so she lied. "I'm a teacher at Li Minghao's school."
"Teacher!" The woman immediately changed her attitude and walked towards Ye Zi with the kitchen knife in her hand.
However, in Ye Zi's eyes, she looked a little like she was going to fight with her. She was so scared that she kept stepping back. Ye Zi pointed at the kitchen knife in the woman's hand.
Only then did the woman realize that she was still holding the knife.
She smiled embarrassedly and said to Ye Zi, "Teacher, I'm so sorry. I'm cooking. Teacher, how can I let you stand at the door? Please come in. "
Ye Zi smiled and followed the woman into Li Minghao's house.
Li's house was clean and tidy. The room was about the same size as Ye Zi's house. Although it was small, it had all the essentials. There was a refrigerator, a TV, and a washing machine.
On the sofa in the living room that was only ten square meters, a teenager sat paralyzed. His feet were on the coffee table and he was holding a popsicle in his hand, watching the NBA game on CCTV5.
"F * ck, this stinky hand. It's worse than me."
Li Minghao took a bite of the popsicle and shouted angrily at the basketball player's mistake on the TV.
Mrs. Li walked over and kicked Li Minghao's leg. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, mom, don't …"
Mrs. Li snatched the remote control and turned off the TV. "Your teacher is here."
"Teacher?" Li Minghao followed Mrs. Li's gaze and saw Ye Zi's beautiful figure standing at the door. He frowned and said, "She's not our …"
But before he could say it, he saw Ye Zi's lips saying "Du Rui."
Suddenly, Li Minghao's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Teacher, why are you here?!"
Ye Zi smiled faintly. "I'm here to see if you've recovered."
"Recovered? What illness? "Mrs. Li obviously didn't know and looked at Li Minghao with a frown.
Li Minghao said, "Oh, mom, it's nothing. You go and cook first. I'll go out and talk with the teacher. Make two more dishes and let the teacher have dinner at home tonight."
With that, he quickly walked to the door and pulled Ye Zi out of the house.
"Bang!"
Li Minghao forcefully shut the door. After confirming that Mrs. Li didn't follow him out, he asked Ye Zi coldly with a dark face, "Who are you?!"
Ye Zi looked at the arrogant kid and sneered, "Police!"
Hearing the word "police," Li Minghao's face suddenly changed. In an instant, his arrogant attitude was swept away and replaced by a face full of horror.
"Police, police, police …"
Ye Zi nodded noncommittally.
"Why, why are you looking for me?" Li Minghao asked with a trembling voice.
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Minghao. After a moment, she asked with a smile, "Do you know that Du Rui is dead?"
Hearing this, Li Haoming's eyes suddenly widened. His dark brown pupils suddenly constricted. His face instantly lost all color, and his body couldn't stop trembling. "You, you, what did you say?!"
Ye Zi saw this and suddenly frowned. Looking at Li Minghao, it was obvious that he didn't know anything about Du Rui's death.
"You don't know?!" Ye Zi asked with a frown.
"I, I don't know." Li Minghao's forehead oozed fine beads of sweat.
Ye Zi said, "Why did you ask for leave three days ago? Don't lie to me. I could tell from your mother's tone just now that she didn't know you asked for leave at all. "
Li Minghao bit his lower lip and was silent for a moment. He muttered, "I lied. I wasn't sick. I spent 200 yuan to find someone to write the leave slip for me."
"I don't care about that. I want to know, what did you do three days ago?" Ye Zi lowered her voice and asked Li Minghao.
Li Minghao tightly pursed his lips until there was not a trace of blood left on his lips. Then he said, "I was fishing in Duole Arcade City."
"Fishing?" Ye Zi looked at Li Minghao with a puzzled look.
Li Minghao said, "Fishing expert. Winning money. "
"You were gambling?" Ye Zi asked in a deep voice.
Li Minghao said, "Sort of."
This little bastard, not only did he have an arrogant attitude, but he also skipped school and lied to his parents, and he even went to gamble.
"Before Du Rui died, she collected accommodation from the whole class. This money …"
"I borrowed it from Du Rui."
Before Ye Zi finished speaking, Li Minghao suddenly interrupted Ye Zi's words. "I originally wanted to gamble again. When I earned the money back, I would return it to Du Rui. But I didn't expect that I would be so unlucky that day. Not only did I not win the money back, but I also lost 1500 yuan."
This kid's gamble was not light.
Ye Zi frowned and looked at him. From his words, Ye Zi could tell that he didn't seem to be lying. But this money, did Du Rui lend it to him, or …
"You stole the money, right?" Ye Zi said coldly.
Hearing this, Li Minghao's figure suddenly swayed. Obviously, he was seen through by Ye Zi.
"I … I didn't." Li Minghao denied.
"Ha!" Ye Zi sneered and slightly narrowed her eyes. She said coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not in charge of robberies. I'm just investigating the cause of Du Rui's death."
Hearing this, Li Minghao heaved a sigh of relief.
But Ye Zi's next words made Li Minghao's expression tense.
"But I don't rule out that you wanted to kill because of money."
"No, no, when I stole Du Rui's money, she was still alive. Officer, I didn't, I didn't kill anyone!" Li Minghao hurriedly explained.
Ye Zi's guess was right. Li Minghao did steal Du Rui's living expenses.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at Li Minghao, whose face had become red because of nervousness. "Tell me about the situation at that time."
Li Minghao took a deep breath, as if he had gathered his courage, and said in a deep voice, "I often play games at Duole Arcade. About a year ago, I started to play Fish-Catching Machine. I can use the game coins I win to exchange for money. But I don't know why, but I've been losing money recently. I still owe more than 40,000 yuan …"
As he said this, he paused and secretly looked at Ye Zi's expression. "Three days ago, the creditor beat me up and asked me to pay the money immediately. Otherwise, he would make me pay. I had no choice but to think of Du Rui's living expenses that day. I originally wanted to borrow money from her, but she didn't lend it to me and scolded me. I was angry, so I, I stole the living expenses that she collected."
Hearing up to this point, Ye Zi's slightly furrowed brows became even deeper. Her slightly narrowed eyes surged with a piercingly cold glint.
"Continue," Ye Zi said coldly.
Li Minghao nodded and continued, "At that time, I quickly went to Duole Arcade after I stole the money. I wanted to play a few rounds and win the money back. Then, I could return the money to Du Rui. Officer, I swear, when I left, Du Rui was really still alive."
These, for Ye Zi, still needed to be investigated.
However, this brat in front of her, at such a young age, dared to rob for gambling. If she didn't teach him a lesson, it would be really unfair to his parents. For him, Ye Zi pretended to be a great and glorious teacher.
"Alright, I got it. You can go back."
With that, Ye Zi directly walked downstairs. She took out her phone and dialed Chen Mo's number.
Du du du …
After a few busy tones, Chen Mo picked up the phone, "Little girl, what's the matter?"
"Brother Chen Mo, I want to report a video game center called Duole Arcade for allowing minors to gamble. Also, when Du Rui was at school, there was a male classmate called Li Minghao who once pursued her. Moreover, this bad boy, also robbed Du Rui of the accommodation fees."
"Alright, I got it."
From the phone, came Chen Mo's low voice.
Ye Zi turned her head and glanced at the window of Li Minghao's house. The corner of her lips slightly raised, forming a cold arc, "Brat, I hope that after this, you can be a good person."
What Ye Zi didn't expect was that after this incident, Li Minghao really abandoned his previous bad habits, turned over a new leaf, and became a new person.
However, this was no longer important to Ye Zi.
The important thing was that after school that day, after Li Minghao robbed Du Rui of the accommodation fees, Du Rui was indeed still alive. Moreover, this case was not a robbery or murder.
In the end, after Li Minghao, who else did Du Rui see? What had happened? Still distressed about not being able to find the latest chapter? Amway a public account: r/d/444
