Ye Zi knew that if she took the statement now, Chen Mo would be able to find out more about the culprit in the shortest time possible.
She looked at Lin Yan with a pleading look in her eyes.
Lin Yan didn't know what to do with Ye Zi. He shook his head helplessly and gently rubbed her head. "If you feel any discomfort in your body, you must tell me immediately. Do you understand?"
Ye Zi nodded and forced a faint smile.
After a while, Ye Zi's eyes fell on Chen Mo. She nodded and said, "Brother Chen Mo, ask away."
Chen Mo nodded and asked, "Little girl, can you tell me the details?"
Ye Zi said, "I went back to the apartment and just got on the elevator. The lights went off, and then …"
Ye Zi told Chen Mo everything that had happened.
Chen Mo's expression was grave as if a layer of haze had piled up on it. He was silent for a moment before asking Ye Zi, "Little girl, have you offended anyone recently?"
Ye Zi thought for a moment and said, "There's only Shen Wanjun, but he's dead now. Although the detective agency has been doing business, you know, the people we've been investigating recently are basically …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she fell into deep thought.
Indeed, Ye Zi hadn't offended anyone during this period of time. She couldn't figure out who it was that wanted to harm her.
Chen Mo turned to look at Lin Yan. "What about you?"
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, Lin Yan looked up at Chen Mo. He looked very confident and didn't hesitate at all. "No."
Chen Mo's eyes narrowed. If that was the case, then it wasn't revenge. What exactly …
"Brother Chen Mo, I want to go back to the scene …"
"Okay."
"No."
Chen Mo and Lin Yan spoke almost at the same time. However, one of them refused and the other agreed.
Lin Yan's cold but sharp eyes were like an eagle's. He stared at Chen Mo coldly. Ye Zi had just been attacked and was now covered in wounds. Lin Yan blamed himself for not picking up Ye Zi from work because of the meeting. Otherwise, Ye Zi wouldn't have been in danger.
Looking at Ye Zi's neck that had turned purple, Lin Yan's heart seemed to be bleeding. His eyes darkened and he said coldly to Chen Mo, "She was just injured. She probably needs to rest now."
Chen Mo nodded. "Alright then. The elevators of Star Wave Bay Apartments will be sealed. It won't be too late for us to go tomorrow."
"No."
Ye Zi said, "Let's go now. This is the most crucial period of the case. I want to use the method of reenacting the case to see if there are any clues."
Lin Yan took a step forward and looked down at Ye Zi condescendingly, "I refuse! What you need to do now is to rest properly! "
His voice flowed into Ye Zi's ears. It was like a high and mighty emperor announcing an imperial edict. There was no room for doubt.
Ye Zi pouted and looked at Lin Yan innocently. She held onto Lin Yan's arm and shook it gently. "Lin Yan, I beg you. Let me go. You also want to know who wants to kill me. If we can catch this person earlier, we can all rest assured, right?"
Lin Yan couldn't stand Ye Zi's coquettish behavior. Her coquettish voice seemed to be able to soften his bones.
Looking at Ye Zi like this, Lin Yan didn't know how to reject her. After a moment of silence, Lin Yan nodded and said, "Alright, I promise you. However, you have to promise me that after this is over, you will go home with me and rest."
Ye Zi nodded at Lin Yan. "Okay, I will."
Xinglan Bay Apartments.
Ye Zi snuggled tightly in Lin Yan's arms. She seemed to be a little afraid of the elevator. When they walked out of the elevator, Ye Zi cautiously looked inside.
After the incident, the police had sealed the elevator. No one was allowed to enter within the cordoned area.
Chen Mo lifted the cordoned area, put on his shoe covers, and walked into the elevator.
Ye Zi took a deep breath and walked out of Lin Yan's arms. Lin Yan was still a little worried. He frowned and stared at Ye Zi.
She turned around and responded to Lin Yan with a "don't worry" look. Then, she put on her shoe covers and walked into the elevator.
"Little girl, what happened at that time?" Chen Mo asked.
Ye Zi put on her gloves and turned her back to Chen Mo. "I walked into the elevator. It was around this location. I pressed the 22nd floor and the elevator started moving."
The elevator was temporarily unavailable. Ye Zi continued, "When the elevator reached the third floor, the lights suddenly went off."
Ye Zi closed her eyes and kept replaying every detail of the incident in her mind.
After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "When the elevator reached the third floor, I heard a noise. Then, the entire elevator shook. I felt as if someone had jumped from the top of the elevator."
As she spoke, Ye Zi raised her eyes and looked at the emergency exit at the top of the elevator. Then, she looked back at Chen Mo. "There should be traces of him up there."
Chen Mo nodded. "I'll get the forensics team to check it right away."
Ye Zi nodded and continued to imitate the incident. "When I turned around, he suddenly wrapped around my neck and strangled me from behind."
Chen Mo walked behind Ye Zi. "Is this the distance?"
Ye Zi nodded. Then, Chen Mo wrapped around her neck from behind and strangled her. Of course, Chen Mo did not use as much strength as the murderer. In fact, in order not to touch the wound on Ye Zi's neck, he deliberately kept a distance.
Ye Zi said, "He was strangling me like this. I couldn't breathe for a while …"
She closed her eyes and carefully recalled every detail, afraid that there would be any mistakes.
The phone!
This was a very important clue.
Ye Zi slowly opened her eyes and picked up the emergency phone in the elevator. "I thought the elevator had malfunctioned, so I was calling the property management …"
"He used more force and pulled me back …"
Chen Mo and Ye Zi stepped back at the same time. Ye Zi thought for a moment and said, "At about this position, his hand loosened a little. When I could breathe again, my feet stepped on the elevator door and I hit him with my back."
The two imitated the backward movement at the same time. At this time, Chen Mo's waist gently hit the elevator handrail.
"Stop." Ye Zi stopped and turned to look at Chen Mo. "Yes, I could feel that he hit the elevator handrail …"
Ye Zi closed her eyes, and the scene from that time appeared in her mind. In the scene, the murderer's waist had indeed hit the elevator's handrail. "His waist should have also hit this position."
Chen Mo was 1.83 meters tall. If he hit his waist, it meant that the murderer had to be at least 1.75 to 180 meters tall to hit his waist.
Chen Mo made a mental note of this and continued to replay the case.
"Then, he turned around and grabbed my hair." Ye Zi blinked and raised her hand to touch the place where her hair was pulled. "He pulled me and hit my head hard against the elevator wall."
With a splitting headache, Ye Zi furrowed her brows tightly. Her face was as pale as paper. She remained silent for a while, then took a deep breath, as though she was relaxing her emotions. Following that, she continued, "The first time, I didn't feel much pain. Using this opportunity, I knocked into him again. At that time, I knocked about 4 or 5 times, but, I don't remember the exact number."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Mo said.
Ye Zi nodded and continued, "I remember that when I hit him for the second time, his face seemed to hit the elevator."
She pointed to the elevator wall. "It should be this position. We should be able to extract the murderer's traces here."
Chen Mo asked, "What happened after that?"
Ye Zi leaned down and lay on the ground. "I was knocked unconscious and fell to this position. He squatted beside me and strangled my neck with both hands."
Ye Zi imitated the action at that time and slowly closed her eyes. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. "I remember. There was no light in the elevator at that time, and he was wearing a hat and a mask. But, I remember that before I passed out, I saw a clear scar on his forehead."
"Scar?!" Chen Mo frowned. "Just now, when we were collecting evidence, we also found traces of skin that didn't belong to you in between your fingernails. Are you sure that the scar on his forehead wasn't scratched by you?"
Ye Zi shook her head. "I don't remember."
"It's okay. You must be tired. Let's call it a day. You and Lin Yan can go back and rest." Chen Mo helped Ye Zi up, and the two of them walked out of the elevator.
Lin Yan stepped forward and supported Ye Zi. He held Ye Zi's hand tightly, not wanting to be separated from her for even a second.
This little girl always liked excitement and looking for the murderer. Today, she met the murderer, but she didn't know fear. She was already injured, but she still wanted to reenact the case.
Lin Yan felt that he should find a time to teach this restless little girl a lesson.
Ye Zi looked at Lin Yan's gloomy face. She pursed her lips and smiled. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"You've only left me for such a short time, and such a big thing happened. How can I not worry? From tomorrow onwards, stop the detective agency's business and stay at home …"
"That won't do!"
Before Lin Yan could finish his words, Ye Zi suddenly interrupted Lin Yan. "The detective agency is my father's lifeblood. I've suffered a lot for it. If you want me to end it now, I'll be like a canary, kept by you."
Ye Zi saw that Lin Yan's expression was still gloomy, as though there was no room for negotiation. She continued, "What's more, if you like me, you like the current me. If I wore an office lady's skirt and worked in your office, would you still like the current me?"
"Moreover, that wouldn't be me anymore, right?!"
Lin Yan had only said one sentence, but she had more than ten sentences waiting for Lin Yan.
"I can't win against you in an argument, but you're not allowed to do dangerous work anymore!" Lin Yan looked at Ye Zi seriously.
Ye Zi pursed her lips. "Alright, alright. I got it. Don't say anymore. There are so many people watching."
Lin Yan didn't care about what others thought of him. He only cared about his little lass's safety.
Ye Zi was a girl with her own ideas. Lin Yan liked this about her. He also knew that he couldn't change Ye Zi, so he smiled helplessly and patted her head gently. "You're sharp-tongued. I can't win against you in an argument, but you must remember …"
Ye Zi rushed to say, "Don't do dangerous things!"
She glanced at Lin Yan and muttered softly, "Hello? Boom!
Lin Yan shook his head helplessly and pulled Ye Zi into another elevator.
As Chen Mo watched the two of them leave, a sour feeling gradually arose in his heart. When the elevator door closed, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
That little girl who used to follow him around had now been protected by a knight that belonged solely to him. It was time for him, Brother Chen Mo, to retire from the world. Still distressed about not being able to find the latest chapter? Amway a public account: r/d/444
