Ye Zi was dumbfounded. She stood there motionless.
Her brain seemed to have been emptied out. It was a complete blank.
Li Xue died just like that …
After a long time, she slowly came back to her senses. In her mind, there was only this sentence.
She committed suicide. Moreover, before she died, she turned herself in to the police about the process of murdering Zhao Yuechao.
All of this …
Ye Zi frowned deeply. In this world, are there really so many coincidences?
The police and I were just about to start investigating Li Xue, and she committed suicide to escape punishment. Isn't this too …
Ye Zi bit her lips hard. The bursts of pain made her mind clear.
Li Xue didn't commit suicide.
Ye Zi made a judgment in her heart. However, she needed time to continue investigating. Only in front of sufficient evidence could she have the strongest persuasion.
She walked out of Li Xue's home. Although her face was as pale as paper, there was a strong mental strength supporting her. Ye Zi wanted to continue investigating. Not only to investigate the cause of Li Xue's death, but more importantly, she wanted to know the truth behind the fire at Celebrity Apartments.
She wanted to know if her father's death was worth it.
Sitting in Lin Yan's car, Ye Zi didn't say a word. Lin Yan didn't say a word either. He just sat quietly beside Ye Zi. Lin Yan knew that Ye Zi needed enough space to calm herself down so that she could continue investigating.
This time, Lin Yan didn't stop Ye Zi. He knew that the cause of Ye Zi's adoptive father's death was the biggest pain in Ye Zi's heart.
Xinglan Bay Apartments.
After Ye Zi took a shower, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and stood by the window. She looked at the dark sky. It was almost midnight, but she didn't feel sleepy.
Lin Yan walked out of the bedroom and hugged Ye Zi from behind.
Ye Zi turned her head and looked at Lin Yan. A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
They leaned against each other and felt the warmth of each other's bodies. Lin Yan whispered in Ye Zi's ear, "I will help you investigate everything. I will help you find out the truth behind your adoptive father's death."
Hearing this, Ye Zi's body suddenly trembled. She suddenly turned around, a sparkling and translucent color appeared in her eyes. Under the moonlight, it seemed so sparkling and translucent. The tears that rolled down were like resplendent diamonds.
Lin Yan wiped away Ye Zi's tears.
Every word that Lin Yan said hit Ye Zi's heart. It seemed that only in front of Lin Yan, Ye Zi would only show her soft side.
He took Ye Zi into his arms and hugged her very hard. He hoped that he could use his body to give Ye Zi the warmth she needed.
After a while, Ye Zi leaned on Lin Yan's arms and fell asleep on the sofa in the living room.
Lin Yan picked her up and walked into the bedroom. He covered her with the quilt and gently kissed Ye Zi's plump and beautiful forehead. Then, Lin Yan turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room, the light of the computer screen made Lin Yan's face look even whiter.
Lin Yan's long and fair fingers quickly typed on the keyboard. After a while, a picture appeared on the computer screen.
It was the Mingshi Apartments, outside Li Xue's home.
This was a copy that Lin Yan had bought from the security department of the Mingshi Apartments with a lot of money.
In the picture, Li Xue was wearing a women's trench coat, blue jeans, and red high heels. She was holding a brown paper bag in her hand. It could be seen from the picture that Li Xue was in a good mood. She was walking backward. Lin Yan watched Li Xue walk out of the elevator with a brown paper bag in one hand and a phone in the other.
A woman went shopping before committing suicide, and she was talking and laughing with someone on the phone.
Lin Yan couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly. A touch of awe flashed in his cold and sharp eyes.
It was too unusual.
Often, when a person wanted to commit suicide, they would get rid of the shackles and restraints on their body, hoping to come and go simply.
But …
Lin Yan squinted his eyes. His long fingers left the keyboard and touched his angular chin. He seemed to think of something …
He picked up his phone and dialed Qin Chen's number.
Du du du …
After a busy tone, Qin Chen picked up Lin Yan's phone. "Brother, look at the time. Can't you let me sleep?!"
Qin Chen's voice was obviously a little unhappy.
Lin Yan lowered his voice, for fear of waking up Ye Zi, who was sleeping in the bedroom. "Li Xue didn't commit suicide."
"Come on, brother, what does this have to do with me? I just want to sleep now. I was just dreaming of marrying Jian Xia. Now, my beautiful dream has been ruined by you …"
Lin Yan stood up, walked to the door, and suddenly opened his mouth, interrupting Qin Chen's words, and said coldly: "I need you to help me investigate, on the day Li Xue died, what did she buy in the mall!?"
"I …"
"If you don't go, I will investigate it myself. Maybe I will drag Jian Xia along, and then …"
"Okay, okay, I will go, okay? You will threaten me. " Qin Chen complained and sighed. "Sooner or later, I will take Jian Xia abroad to a place you can't find."
"Ha!" Lin Yan sneered and said lightly, "As long as you don't leave the earth, I can find you."
"You … Okay, okay, you win. Brother, can I sleep now?" Qin Chen couldn't do anything to Lin Yan. If they weren't friends for so many years, Qin Chen would have quit long ago.
Lin Yan didn't say anything and directly hung up the phone.
Back in the bedroom, Lin Yan's little girl was curled up in the corner of the bed, her body trembling. Lin Yan hugged Ye Zi from behind, and her trembling body eased a little.
The next morning.
After Ye Zi woke up, she felt a splitting headache. She pressed her temples hard and turned around, but found that Lin Yan was not by her side.
She looked at the quartz clock on the wall.
It was only five o 'clock in the morning. At this time, Lin Yan was not sleeping. Where could he go?
Ye Zi put on her slippers and got out of bed. When she opened the bedroom door, she saw Lin Yan lying on the sofa in the living room, and a video was playing on the computer.
Ye Zi walked over quietly and cast her eyes on the computer screen.
The computer was playing a video of Mingshi Apartments. The owner of the video was the victim who committed suicide last night — Li Xue.
Looking at her appearance, Ye Zi frowned deeply.
Ye Zi clicked the back button. The slight sound of the keyboard still woke up Lin Yan.
Lin Yan opened his eyes, and Ye Zi's figure was reflected in his pupils. "Why are you up so early?"
"Did you not sleep last night?" Ye Zi leaned over and sat next to Lin Yan. Looking at his red eyes, her heart was very distressed.
In order to help me investigate the cause of Li Xue's death, he did not sleep for the whole night.
Was it all because I was too anxious? That made Lin Yan also …
Ye Zi's heart was very apologetic. Li Xue's case, originally, after the police confirmed that she committed suicide, it could have been closed. However, Ye Zi still wanted to continue investigating the truth behind Li Xue's case.
She did not know whether her choice was right or wrong.
At this time, Lin Yan held Ye Zi's hand and whispered in her ear, "I think, your decision is right!"
"What?!" Ye Zi's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Lin Yan with a frown.
Lin Yan pointed to the computer screen and said in a low voice, "I did not believe it at first, but after re-examining yesterday's surveillance video, I think your idea is very likely to be right."
He paused, and his face was solemn. He said to Ye Zi word by word, "Li Xue's death was not as simple as suicide."
Ye Zi stared at Lin Yan and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?!"
"Look here. If a person wanted to commit suicide, would she buy so many daily necessities from the mall? Moreover, when Li Xue walked out of the elevator, she was on the phone, and she was talking and laughing with the other party. " Lin Yan squinted and found the video just now. "Do you think a person who wanted to commit suicide would buy these things?"
What Lin Yan said was very reasonable. For this point, Ye Zi also thought so.
In addition, in the previous contact with Li Xue, Ye Zi could conclude that Li Xue would not be a person who would commit suicide.
So, who killed Li Xue, and then disguised Li Xue as a suicide to deceive the police?!
This was indeed a point that needed to be verified.
Lin Yan closed the computer and looked at Ye Zi. "I have just asked Qin Chen to investigate Li Xue's shopping list. Let's see what Li Xue bought that day."
Ye Zi said, "I want to go to Li Xue's house now. Maybe we have missed something."
Lin Yan nodded. It was still early. If they went to Li Xue's house at this time, they might really find some clues.
So, Lin Yan agreed to Ye Zi and drove to Mingshi Apartments again.
Outside Li Xue's house, there was still a cordon. For Li Xue's door, Ye Zi only needed a wire to open it easily.
Lin Yan was quite surprised by Ye Zi's ability to pick locks. He did not expect that Ye Zi would have such a skill.
Ye Zi smiled at Lin Yan. "My skills are from my father."
Lin Yan smiled and did not say anything. He walked into Li Xue's house with Ye Zi.
The police had taken away a lot of physical evidence and brought Li Xue's body back to the Municipal Crime Squad.
Ye Zi walked into Li Xue's house and felt that everything was very strange. She had been to Li Xue's house two days ago. At that time, it did not look like what she saw.
