Hua …
Lin Yan untied the white cloth that covered the furniture. Although it had only been a day, the white cloth was covered with dust. It fluttered in the air and choked people's mouths and noses.
Ye Zi covered her mouth and waved her other hand in front of her.
Her brows furrowed as she looked at Lin Yan suspiciously.
After the smoke and dust in the air dispersed, Ye Zi asked Lin Yan, "How did this happen?"
"These white cloths have a thick layer of white ash on them." Lin Yan bent over and squatted on the ground. He picked up a bit of white ash and placed it at the tip of his nose. He gently sniffed it and said, "This white ash is the white ash formed from the paint that was left behind when the walls were painted."
"Why did Li Xue cover all the furniture out of the blue?" Ye Zi frowned and asked Lin Yan.
In this regard, Lin Yan did not know the meaning behind it.
Ye Zi continued to look around. There was no change in Li Xue's home. She walked to the bathroom door and squinted her eyes slightly. She pondered for a moment and pushed the bathroom door open.
Although Li Xue's body was no longer there, the scene was still well preserved. The bathtub was full of bright red blood. Ye Zi closed her eyes and imagined the scene when Li Xue was there.
Li Xue's hands were clasped together and placed on her chest. It looked like she was praying for something.
Her face was pale, obviously because she had lost too much blood.
Ye Zi carefully thought for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out how Li Xue died.
"The clothes she was wearing at that time."
At this time, Lin Yan suddenly spoke. His low and distant voice drifted into Ye Zi's ears.
Ye Zi turned her head and looked at Lin Yan. She asked, "What did you just say?!"
Lin Yan said, "If I remember correctly, when Li Xue died, she was wearing a summer dress."
Ye Zi thought about it and it was indeed so. She nodded at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan continued, "I just looked at Li Xue's wardrobe. I found that Li Xue had packed up all her summer clothes. There were only autumn and winter clothes in her wardrobe. This means that if Li Xue changed into this dress by herself, she needed to find her summer clothes again."
Ye Zi was puzzled. She frowned slightly and asked Lin Yan, "But what does this mean?"
"Judging from the decorations in her house, Li Xue should be a very strict person. She shouldn't have done this." Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "I think someone must have given Li Xue this dress at that time, or someone forced her to change into a summer dress."
"You mean to say that there should be someone else in Li Xue's house besides dealing with Li Xue?" Ye Zi asked in a low voice.
Lin Yan nodded noncommittally and said, "Yes, that should be the case."
As he spoke, he walked towards the door. "Come and take a look."
Ye Zi stepped forward and stopped beside Lin Yan. She leaned over to look at the position where Lin Yan's finger was pointing. There, Ye Zi saw half a footprint.
This footprint wasn't there before. When Lin Yan shook the white cloth in the room, the white dust fell and reflected half a footprint.
Judging from the size of the footprint, it should belong to a man.
This time, Ye Zi couldn't stay calm.
Before Li Xue's so-called "suicide," there was a man who came to Li Xue's house. Who was this man?!
The position of this footprint was very strange. It was at the door of the room, and there was only half a footprint. It was hard to notice. If it weren't for Lin Yan shaking the white cloth and the white dust falling, Lin Yan probably wouldn't have noticed that there was a footprint at the door.
In that case, the police shouldn't have found this footprint.
Lin Yan piled up next to the footprint and looked at it for a while. He looked up at Ye Zi and said, "This footprint is a custom-made Italian leather shoe. A man who can afford such a pair of shoes can be said to be very rich."
According to what Lin Yan said, could it be that a very rich man killed Li Xue?
Ye Zi's gaze revealed the above information.
Lin Yan curled his lips. His thin lips slightly opened and he said in a faint voice, "You can't think of it that way. This footprint still needs to be investigated. Take a picture of this footprint first, then tell Chen Mo your guess."
My guess?!
Ye Zi blinked. All of this was discovered by Lin Yan. From the beginning to the end, it had nothing to do with her. But, why did Lin Yan let her say that?!
Lin Yan's explanation was that he didn't want to deal with the police.
After leaving Li Xue's house, Ye Zi yawned. She hadn't slept well since last night. Now, she was in a daze.
In order to let Ye Zi have a good rest, Lin Yan let Ye Zi sit in the back seat of the car. He drove the car slowly and steadily, afraid that he would wake up Ye Zi, who was pretending to be asleep in the back seat.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Lin Yan saw a person squatting in front of Ye Zi's house.
This person was none other than Qin Luo, the lawyer that Lin Yan had hired.
Lin Yan looked at Qin Luo and asked, "Why are you here?"
Obviously, Lin Yan had forgotten that he had called him in the middle of the night and asked him to investigate the shopping mall that Li Xue had gone to that day. Then, Qin Chen told Lin Yan what had happened to Li Xue.
On the day of the incident, Li Xue had gone to the Carrefour supermarket. While there, Li Xue had bought a lot of things for men.
However, none of these things had ever appeared in Li Xue's house.
Ye Zi looked at the shopping list in her hands and frowned. "Razor, shaving cream, men's underwear, steak, okra …"
"We, the police, didn't find any of these things in Li Xue's house," Ye Zi said in a low voice.
Lin Yan nodded slightly.
Indeed, Li Xue had a boyfriend on the surface.
If these things were bought for Zhao Yuechao, this reason wouldn't be too far-fetched. However, Zhao Yuechao was already dead at that time, and she still bought these things in the supermarket.
Moreover, they were all private things. This meant that this man had a close relationship with Li Xue.
This man …
It was necessary to tell Chen Mo about this discovery.
Ye Zi immediately dialed Chen Mo's number.
"Little girl, what can I do for you?" After a whole night of work, Chen Mo was so tired that he laid on his desk and took a nap. But at this time, his phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Ye Zi calling, so he answered the call.
Ye Zi said, "Brother Chen Mo, we just found out that Li Xue had a close boyfriend other than Zhao Yuechao."
"Oh?!" Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Tell me about your discovery."
Ye Zi told Chen Mo what had happened before, including the matter of finding half a footprint in Li Xue's house.
After listening to it, Chen Mo fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he said, "Okay, I will send someone to investigate the problem you mentioned."
Chen Mo hung up the phone and called Bai Yang. He ordered Bai Yang to take some people to Li Xue's house to conduct another investigation.
However, when Bai Yang called Chen Mo and told Chen Mo that they didn't find any footprints in Li Xue's house, Chen Mo was suddenly stunned. He rushed out of the Municipal Crime Squad and drove to Ye Zi's house.
Ding dong.
Hearing the doorbell, Ye Zi put down the work in her hands, took off her glasses, got up, and walked to the door. When she opened the door, she saw Chen Mo standing at the door of her house, panting.
Ye Zi frowned and asked doubtfully, "Brother Chen Mo, did you run here?"
"The elevator is being repaired, so I came up by the stairs."
Ye Zi let Chen Mo enter the door and gave him a bottle of mineral water. Chen Mo twisted the cap and gulped it down. He drank the whole bottle of mineral water in one breath, and only then did he calm down a little.
"Little girl, when you called me just now, you told me that half a footprint was found in Li Xue's house. I asked Bai Yang to go to the scene, but Bai Yang told me that there were no footprints in Li Xue's house."
"That's impossible!" Ye Zi's expression suddenly changed. She raised her voice and said anxiously, "Lin Yan and I saw that there was half a man's footprint in front of Li Xue's house."
Ye Zi suddenly thought of something. She turned around and walked into the bedroom. She took out her phone and found the photo that was taken at the time. "Here, look. This is the half footprint that Lin Yan and I found in Li Xue's house."
Chen Mo took the phone from Ye Zi's hand. The photo was really taken at Li Xue's house.
There was half a footprint in the photo. Although it wasn't clear, it could still be seen that it was a man's footprint.
Ye Zi said, "We found in the surveillance video of Mingshi Apartments that Li Xue was happily shopping a few hours before the so-called suicide …"
