"What?!"
Ye Zi suspected that she was hallucinating.
Wasn't Li Xue's boyfriend in the hospital?
How did he die?
Jian Xia glanced at the computer screen. "Look at it yourself."
Ye Zi looked at the computer screen.
Male victim, Zhao Yuechao, 27 years old. The cause of death was a large amount of air injected into his veins, resulting in an air embolism.
Generally speaking, a small amount of air entering the blood vessels would not cause any symptoms. But when a large amount of air entered the veins, the patient would have different degrees of symptoms, such as dyspnea, coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, cyanosis, etc. It could easily lead to an air embolism in the pulmonary artery, and in serious cases, it could be fatal.
Ye Zi looked at the words displayed on the computer screen and fell into deep thought.
Last night, Yao Anmian waited outside Mingshi Apartments and did not see Li Xue leave. In other words, Yao Anmian had become Li Xue's alibi.
Yao Anmian carried his backpack and waved in the direction of Ye Zi and Jian Xia. "Boss, I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute." Ye Zi stopped Yao Anmian.
Yao Anmian curled his lips. He knew that his boss would not be so kind as to let him go home to rest when he was sick.
He agreed. "Women are fickle animals."
Ye Zi said, "Don't go home yet. Come with me to the Municipal Crime Squad."
"What's wrong?" Yao Anmian was shocked. "Will I be arrested by the police if I go home sick?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Zi looked at Yao Anmian. "Come with me."
Municipal Crime Squad.
Chen Mo had been busy all night. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he was holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
That night, Chen Mo had already lost count of how many cups of coffee he had drunk. However, one thing he could be sure of was that if he had two more cups, he would definitely be poisoned by coffee.
Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and listened to Li Xiaoqiang, who had also not slept the whole night. "Chen Dui, that's all we can find."
Chen Mo took a sip of coffee, frowned at Li Xiaoqiang, and asked, "Any clues from Bai Yang?"
"The vice-captain is still asking. I don't think there's much hope," Li Xiaoqiang complained.
Chen Mo's frown deepened. This woman, Li Xue, always gave him an unfathomable feeling. When she lied, it was as if she was narrating an objective fact. Not to mention the naked eye, even a lie detector wouldn't be able to detect the difference in the slightest.
"Chen Dui, the vice-captain is asking if we should release him?" Li Xiaoqiang asked.
Chen Mo waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Let's wait and see."
"It's pointless to wait."
Ye Zi placed her hands on Chen Mo's shoulders and helped him rub them a few times. Needless to say, his tiredness was instantly reduced.
Chen Mo turned his head and glanced at Ye Zi. "Why do you say that?"
"Didn't I promise you to investigate Li Xue?"
Chen Mo nodded and listened to Ye Zi continue. "Last night, I waited outside Mingshi Apartments for the whole night, but I didn't see Li Xue go out. So, Zhao Yuechao's death shouldn't have anything to do with Li Xue."
"Are you sure?" Chen Mo turned the swivel chair under him and faced Ye Zi.
Ye Zi pulled Yao Anmian over. "You tell this to Captain Chen Dui."
Shortly after, Yao Anmian told Chen Mo everything that happened last night.
Chen Mo pondered for a long time before he slowly stood up and said to Li Xiaoqiang, "Let him go."
The case fell into a deadlock. From the surveillance footage last night, there was only one nurse who entered Zhao Yuechao's ward. Other than that, there was no one else.
Chen Mo interrogated the nurse that night and learned that she did enter Zhao Yuechao's ward last night. At that time, Zhao Yuechao was the one who called the ambulance bell.
The nurse on duty, Ning Yaxin, entered the ward and helped Zhao Yuechao change the IV drip. Then, she left the ward. Since then, no one else entered the ward.
But Zhao Yuechao still died. Moreover, a large amount of air was injected into his veins, causing an air embolism.
The investigation seemed to have reached a dead end.
Originally, Chen Mo suspected that it was Li Xue. But with Yao Anmian as a witness, he could only let Li Xue go.
"Did you come here today to give Li Xue an alibi?" Chen Mo took a sip of his coffee and raised his eyebrows at Ye Zi.
Ye Zi said, "You can say that. I just saw Zhao Yuechao's death on the computer, so I came here."
Chen Mo nodded and put the coffee cup on the desk. "Little girl, about Li Xue …"
Ye Zi interrupted Chen Mo. "I will still investigate. It's not just because she is your suspect."
Chen Mo seemed to understand what Ye Zi meant and nodded at her.
At this time, Bai Yang had finished the procedures with Li Xue. When they passed by Chen Mo's office, Li Xue saw Ye Zi. Through the glass door, Li Xue waved at Ye Zi.
Ye Zi responded with a smile, but a sentence spilled out from between her lips and teeth. "She's calmed down, so calm that it's unbelievable."
Chen Mo nodded noncommittally.
Ye Zi had told him about Li Xue's panic and fear at the detective agency.
But now, it seemed that Li Xue was not afraid at all. She was so calm that it made people feel that this was not the Municipal Crime Squad, but a beauty shop in a shopping mall.
"Why are you here?" Li Xue asked Ye Zi with a smile.
Ye Zi smiled. "Captain Chen Dui is my friend. I'm here to see him."
Li Xue followed Ye Zi's gaze and looked at Chen Mo. The smile on her face did not diminish. "Hello, Captain Chen Dui. If it wasn't for your signature, I don't know how long I would have to stay in the police station."
"This is what we, the police, should do." Chen Mo said calmly.
"Hehe." Lee Xue chuckled. "Are we considered a family of police and civilians?"
"If you say so." Chen Mo squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xue.
Li Xue was so beautiful. She had a harmless face that exuded a pure temperament. Her short hair that reached her ears was pretty and charming. She had tied her hair up and tucked it behind her ears. She was as clean as a middle school student who had not experienced the affairs of the world.
"You guys chat. I'll leave first."
Li Xue walked a few steps and suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Ye Zi and asked with a smile, "Is Panpan in the detective agency? I'd like to have lunch with her this afternoon. "
Ye Zi's expression was still the same. She said calmly, "Panpan has a job. You can have dinner together."
"Okay. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Looking at Li Xue's back, Ye Zi narrowed her eyes.
She could see through people. There were very few women that she couldn't see through. However, this woman …
Ye Zi had met her several times. She always felt that Li Xue was hiding a lot of secrets. It was really hard to see through her.
After Li Xue left, there was no need for Ye Zi and Yao An to stay in the criminal police unit. Chen Mo suggested to have lunch together, but Ye Zi rejected it.
Ye Zi said, "Brother Chen Mo, can you let me see Zhao Yuechao's body?"
Chen Mo frowned slightly. There was some hesitation on his face.
The word "rules" was always on Chen Mo's lips, but he always crossed the line.
Ye Zi was sure of this. She knew that Chen Mo would definitely take her to see Zhao Yuechao's body.
In the morgue of the Municipal Crime Squad.
Yao Anmian was scared half to death. He trembled and grabbed Ye Zi's arm. Ye Zi struggled a few times, but he was like chewing gum on her hair. She couldn't get rid of him.
Helpless, Ye Zi said, "You don't need to follow me in. You can just wait at the door."
Yao Anmian trembled and said, "B-B-B-Boss … I-I-I-I … don't dare to go alone."
Looking around, Ye Zi cast a pleading look at Li Xiaoqiang. "Officer Li, can you use your righteousness to help him scare off some demons and ghosts?"
Li Xiaoqiang listened to Ye Zi's words and wanted to laugh. He nodded and accompanied Yao Anmian to sit at the door of the morgue.
Inside the morgue, it was chilly.
Ye Zi couldn't help but shiver. She subconsciously tightened the collar of her cashmere coat.
Zhao Yuechao died very peacefully, as if he had fallen asleep. However, his complexion was extremely unsightly, showing a reddish-purple color. There were many old wounds on his body, and it could be seen that they were caused by others.
Ye Zi frowned and stared at Zhao Yuechao's body without blinking. After a long time, she put on plastic gloves and touched a scar on his chest.
"This is a cigarette scar." Chen Mo explained.
Ye Zi pried open his mouth and was surprised to find that Zhao Yuechao's teeth were clean and white. There wasn't a single cigarette stain. She could tell that he didn't smoke.
However, how could she explain the cigarette scar on his chest?
Li Xue didn't smoke either.
Ye Zi carefully recalled every detail of her dealings with Li Xue.
She came to this conclusion.
In the beginning, Ye Zi and Chen Mo suspected that Li Xue had an S&M tendency. The many scars on her body should have been caused by herself. As for Zhao Yuechao …
Ye Zi's eyes narrowed and looked at Chen Mo. "You should investigate if he has any special hobbies."
Chen Mo nodded. "I think so too. However, this aspect is more difficult to investigate. "
"His ex-girlfriend." Ye Zi suggested.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chen Mo's mouth as he nodded. Indeed, his ex-girlfriend was the best way to investigate his hobbies in this area. "I'll send someone to investigate."
"Then I'll go back first."
Outside the Aromatic Detective Agency, Li Xue took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes from her coat pocket. She took one out and put it in her mouth. After lighting it, she blew out a thin smoke ring.
From afar, Li Xue saw To Look Around running over. She waved at her. "Hey, over here."
To Look Around ran over and blinked. She looked at Li Xue who was smoking and asked, "When did you start smoking?"
