Ye Zi thought for a while and said to Yao Mianan, "Send his address to my phone."
Long Nan Road, Huaxi District, Building 25, Unit 3, Room 52.
This was Zhang Chaoran's home address. Ye Zi put on her coat, grabbed her backpack, and left the house.
Ye Zi hailed a taxi and headed to Long Nan Road.
Long Nan Road was located in the northern part of Linsen. It was a bustling section of the road. It was a new commercial district, and it was crowded with people. The taxi stopped outside Huaxi District. Ye Zi paid the driver and got out of the car. She looked up and saw a tall building.
"Let's go and take a look. I heard that someone died in the district."
"I heard that too. A family of three was murdered. It's too cruel."
"There's a lot of police. Let's go and take a look."
The pedestrians passing by Ye Zi all said the same thing. When Ye Zi heard this, she couldn't help but frown. She couldn't help but think of a joke that Chen Mo often made. "Are you Conan? Why is it that wherever you go, there's a murder case? "
The corner of Ye Zi's mouth twitched. She raised her head and looked at the crowded district. She sighed helplessly and walked over.
Ye Zi stood outside the crowd and saw Chen Mo's Beijing Jeep at a glance.
She frowned slightly. It seemed that there was indeed a murder case here.
Thinking about what the passerby said, "A family of three was murdered." Ye Zi's heart suddenly sank. She couldn't help but remember that Zhang Chaoran's family was also a family of three. They also lived in Building 25, and they were also in Unit 3.
Could there be such a coincidence?!
At this moment, Ye Zi saw Bai Yang walking out of the corridor.
Bai Yang stood in the police line and looked around coldly at the crowd. When Bai Yang saw Ye Zi, he couldn't help but frown.
He didn't expect to see Ye Zi here. Bai Yang was slightly startled and walked over to Ye Zi.
"Little girl, why are you here?" Bai Yang opened his mouth and asked.
Ye Zi pursed her lips slightly and said slowly, "I'm here to look for someone."
Bai Yang curled his lips and said with a smile, "Oh, you're not here to look for Zhang Chaoran, are you?!"
Hearing Bai Yang's question, Ye Zi's expression suddenly changed. Does he mean that the victim here is Zhang Chaoran?!
Bai Yang seemed to understand the meaning in Ye Zi's eyes. He curled his lips helplessly and shook his head slightly. "Then you're too late. Zhang Chaoran died last night."
"Dead?!" Ye Zi's eyes suddenly widened. She couldn't believe her ears.
This further confirmed Chen Mo's words. She was really more of a Conan than Conan.
Bai Yang asked, "Why are you looking for him?"
Ye Zi couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. It was as if there were fireworks exploding in her head.
Bai Yang reached out and waved his hand in front of Ye Zi. Then, he frowned and touched Ye Zi's forehead. "Little girl, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Zi's mind kept thinking about the strange man who used Zhang Chaoran's phone to call her yesterday. Then, she called him back. Then, could she be the last person who had contact with Zhang Chaoran or talked on the phone with him?
Thinking of this, Ye Zi's eyes narrowed. She stared at Bai Yang. "Brother Bai Yang, I want to see Brother Chen Mo."
Bai Yang's eyes darkened. Looking at the uncertain expression on Ye Zi's face, he knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, Ye Zi wouldn't have come to look for Zhang Chaoran.
He thought about it and nodded to Ye Zi. "Follow me."
Ye Zi followed behind Bai Yang. With Bai Yang leading the way, naturally, no police would stop Ye Zi.
In a flash, Ye Zi got into the elevator and arrived at Zhang Chaoran's house.
Li Xiaoqiang had just graduated from the police academy. Although he had seen a few murder cases, it was the first time he had seen such a scene. He had one hand on the wall and the other on his chest. He was half-squatting and retching.
Ding dong.
The elevator stopped. Ye Zi and Bai Yang walked out of the elevator.
Bai Yang smiled and patted Li Xiaoqiang's shoulder. "Kid, you're still vomiting."
Li Xiaoqiang waved his hand and pushed Bai Yang's hand away. "You didn't follow Chen Dui to investigate the crime scene …"
He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed that Ye Zi was standing beside Bai Yang. Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but frown. He asked Bai Yang, "Why is she here?"
Bai Yang shrugged. "You know what I mean."
Li Xiaoqiang raised his hand to his forehead and his lips twitched. "Could it be that she has something to do with this case?"
Ye Zi also felt helpless. She didn't want this to have anything to do with her, but …
"Where's Chen Dui?" Bai Yang asked.
Li Xiaoqiang said, "He's still at the crime scene."
Bai Yang pointed at Unit 52 and said to Ye Zi, "Let's go."
Li Xiaoqiang suddenly stopped Ye Zi. "Wait, wait …"
Ye Zi frowned and looked at Li Xiaoqiang in confusion. She blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Xiaoqiang slowly straightened his body, took out a tissue from his pocket, and wiped his mouth. He looked very hesitant.
Ye Zi furrowed her brows even more. She was even more curious about what the crime scene looked like. Why would Li Xiaoqiang vomit so much here?
Li Xiaoqiang sighed softly. After pondering for a while, he slowly said, "You'd better be mentally prepared. Otherwise …"
It turned out that Li Xiaoqiang was worried about her. Ye Zi wasn't even afraid of autopsy scenes. Why would she be afraid of a crime scene? She knew that Li Xiaoqiang meant well. She nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry. I'll be fine."
After saying that, Ye Zi put on her shoe covers and followed Bai Yang into the crime scene.
As soon as she walked in, a thick smell of blood instantly rushed into Ye Zi's nose. Her expression abruptly changed, and what reflected in her eyes was a patch of glaring blood red.
This was probably the first time that Ye Zi had seen such a bloody crime scene.
As far as the eye could see, the entire living room was still covered in dark red bloodstains. Even without seeing the victim, the entire living room was already so shocking.
Ye Zi only felt that the blood in her body was surging. Even her eyes were filled with blood.
She subconsciously grabbed Bai Yang's arm and tried to reduce her breathing.
"Little girl, you can't take it anymore?"
Bai Yang's voice came into Ye Zi's ears. She frowned and her eyes sank. She looked at Bai Yang and took a deep breath. She muttered, "Brother Bai Yang, the situation inside …"
"Do you still want to see?" Bai Yang looked at Ye Zi worriedly.
Ye Zi pursed her lips and forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She wanted to see. At the very least, before this game started, she wanted to grasp detailed information about "him".
After a long silence, Ye Zi nodded at Bai Yang.
Bai Yang said, "The body is in the bedroom."
Ye Zi's breathing began to become heavy as she walked towards the bedroom step by step.
Her heart was in her throat. Ye Zi walked to the bedroom door. The first thing that came into view was the dead man.
"Male victim, Zhang Chaoran. The cause of death was a blunt object hitting the back of the head, causing …"
Hearing the footsteps at the door, Chen Mo, who was talking, turned his head. He saw Ye Zi and couldn't help but frown. "Why are you here?!"
Ye Zi froze on the spot. She didn't move at all. She looked like a statue. Chen Mo walked straight to Ye Zi and waved his hand in front of her. He opened his mouth and called out, "Little girl … Little girl …"
Ye Zi acted as if she didn't hear Chen Mo's words. After all, the "scene" in front of her was really frightening.
Just as Chen Mo had said, the male victim had been hit in the back of the head with a blunt object. However, this method of hitting was really frightening.
The back of Zhang Chaoran's head had already caved in, and blood was flowing everywhere. There was a five centimeter long wound on Zhang Chaoran's neck. The location of the wound was at the carotid artery, and it could still be seen that there was still blood that hadn't drained out dripping down.
Next to the male victim, Zhang Chaoran's wife, Zhou Jie, was his chest.
There was a knife stuck in Zhou Jie's chest. From the handle of the knife, it could be seen that the murderer had used a knife in the kitchen. However, what made Ye Zi sick was that the female victim didn't have any clothes on her. The murderer had cruelly stitched up Zhou Jie's genitals with a needle and thread.
Next to the female victim, Zhou Jie, was Zhou Jie and Zhang Chaoran's child.
The little girl was only four or five years old. Her face was deathly pale without a trace of blood. The little girl's death wasn't shocking. The murderer had cut open the artery on her lotus-like arm and let out blood.
"Ye Zi! Ye Zi! "
Hearing Chen Mo's shout, Ye Zi suddenly came back to her senses. She widened her eyes and looked at Chen Mo without blinking.
Chen Mo frowned. He grabbed Ye Zi's arm and dragged her out of the crime scene.
He asked in a low voice, "Little girl, why are you here?!"
Ye Zi's eyes narrowed. She calmed herself down and took two deep breaths before she slowly said, "I should be the last person to talk to the owner of this house."
Chen Mo didn't understand. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "What did you say?"
Ye Zi said in a low voice, "Recently, I've been receiving harassing calls from an unknown number. I called back yesterday, and it should be the deceased, Zhang Chaoran."
"How did you find this place?" Chen Mo asked again.
Ye Zi replied, "I asked Yao Mianan to help me investigate and found out Zhang Chaoran's home address. I wanted to come and take a look, but …"
Chen Mo was silent for two seconds before he asked, "When did you call Zhang Chaoran yesterday?"
Ye Zi took out her phone from her backpack and found the number she called yesterday. She handed it to Chen Mo.
"Ten o 'clock at night."
Ye Zi nodded noncommittally.
Chen Mo continued to ask, "What did you say at the time?"
Ye Zi thought about it and said, "He said that I called the wrong number." If you want to talk about [Essay] with more like-minded people, follow "Youyu Literature" on WeChat.
