Ye Zi sat in the taxi with her head lowered, looking at the black phone screen.
Ring, ring, ring …
The phone suddenly rang, and Ye Zi couldn't help but shiver.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on the phone screen, Ye Zi's pupils shrank in their sockets.
It was another strange number!
Ye Zi was now traumatized by strange phone numbers. She didn't know whose voice would come from the receiver when she picked up the phone.
"Miss, your phone is ringing."
Ye Zi's phone kept ringing, and she didn't pick up the phone. The taxi driver kindly reminded Ye Zi.
She frowned slightly, slowly raised her eyelashes, glanced at the taxi driver through the rearview mirror, and nodded slightly. Then, Ye Zi picked up the phone.
"Hello …"
"Why did you pick up the phone? Little baby! "
Hearing the voice on the phone, Ye Zi's body suddenly trembled.
It's him!
"What? You didn't think it would be me? "
Ye Zi swallowed hard, and her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, "What do you want to do?"
"Is this game fun?"
Ye Zi's face turned pale.
Her lips couldn't stop trembling, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
"Hehe."
The man on the phone laughed. His laughter was evil and wild, as if he was mocking and flirting.
Ye Zi frowned, covered the receiver, and said in a low voice, "Zhang Chaoran's family …"
Before she could finish, the man on the phone suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Ye Zi, "What? Isn't it fun? Then let's add some fun activities. "
"What do you want?" Ye Zi forcefully pursed her pale lips.
The man's voice seemed to have a smile, and he said lightly, "I'm using a woman's phone to call you. If you can't catch the murderer within three days, then this woman will be the next …"
"Three days!?" Ye Zi's face suddenly changed.
Catching Zhang Chaoran's murderer within three days was obviously an impossible task.
Not to mention Ye Zi, even Chen Mo …
Ye Zi pondered for a moment and said, "That's impossible. There's too little time."
"Heh!"
The man on the phone suddenly sneered, "That's your problem. Three days is the deadline. If you can't find the murderer who killed Zhang Chaoran and his family within three days, then this woman …"
Dong dong dong …
Ye Zi's heart was beating like a drum. She said without hesitation, "Okay, I promise you. I'll catch the murderer within three days, but you have to promise me that you won't hurt anyone else."
The other party didn't say anything and hung up the phone.
Ye Zi looked at the phone screen that was gradually turning black. Suddenly, she raised her hand and patted the back of the driver's seat. When the driver turned his head, Ye Zi said anxiously, "I'm not going to Xinglan Bay Apartments. I'm going …"
She paused slightly, and her amber-like eyes turned before she said word by word, "Longnan Road, Huaxi District."
The taxi driver turned the car around, and Ye Zi returned to Huaxi District once again.
Outside Zhang Chaoran's house, there were many fearless onlookers. They surrounded Zhang Chaoran's house, pointing and whispering to each other. Ye Zi frowned through the crowd and tiptoed to look at the tightly shut security door.
After a while, the crowd dispersed, and Ye Zi moved closer to the security door to take a closer look.
There were no signs of the door being pried open!
From this, it could be seen that they knew the person who killed Zhang Chaoran, Zhou Jie, and the child.
An acquaintance!
With this clue, Ye Zi could be considered to have made some progress. As long as she investigated the people that Zhang Chaoran and Zhou Jie knew, then perhaps …
Buzz, buzz …
At this moment, the phone in Ye Zi's hand vibrated.
The phone screen showed the same unknown number. He had sent a text message: The key is in the power distribution box.
Ye Zi frowned and suddenly turned her head to glance at the stairwell.
She walked over quickly, and when no one noticed, Ye Zi opened the power distribution box.
As expected, Ye Zi saw a key in the power distribution box.
She took the key and returned to Zhang Chaoran's house. She stood there for a while, and when she saw that no one had noticed, she inserted the key into the keyhole and twisted it gently. With a click, the security door opened.
Instantly, a pungent smell of blood rushed into Ye Zi's nose.
She frowned and held her breath. She put on her shoe covers and walked into the crime scene.
The entire crime scene was stained with blood. She blinked her eyes in confusion. What kind of hatred could there be? Not only did they kill someone, but they also used blood to wipe the entire room.
Ye Zi walked to the spot where the police had sketched out the body. She slowly bent down and stared at the position of Zhang Chaoran's body with her dark eyes.
She was sure that after Zhang Chaoran died, his blood had only been drained. No one had moved his body.
Ye Zi slightly pressed her eyebrows together and sighed softly.
After that, Ye Zi searched through Zhang Chaoran's house, but all the useful clues had been taken away by the police. She did not find any useful clues.
However, from the looks of it, the person who could make Zhang Chaoran or Zhou Jie open the door must be someone they were familiar with.
Moreover, this person's heart …
Through profiling, Ye Zi could make a basic guess.
The murderer was able to kill Zhang Chaoran and Zhou Jie, so he should be an adult male. He should be between 30 to 40 years old, and he should be strong. At least, he should be stronger than Zhang Chaoran.
He had a meticulous mind. After killing people, he could drain their blood and use it to wipe the room and destroy the crime scene. If he did not have a meticulous mind, he would not have been able to do it.
He was cruel, and he could get information by killing children. He was inhumane.
Ye Zi could not help but think of that man.
At that time, when everyone was looking at the crime scene, only this man ran in the opposite direction.
This man …
Ye Zi frowned, and her eyes were filled with suspicion.
Finding this man was like finding a needle in a haystack.
It seemed that she had to look for clues among the people that Zhang Chaoran and Zhou Jie knew.
Ye Zi did not find any clues in Zhang Chaoran's house. She was ready to leave, but when she reached the door, Ye Zi suddenly heard the sound of someone opening the door with a key.
In an instant, Ye Zi's expression changed. All the hair on her body stood up, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her body was stiff, as though it was filled with lead.
Her nostrils flared, and the smell of blood rushed into Ye Zi's nose.
Could it be that this was a "game"?!
Thump, thump, thump …
At that moment, Ye Zi could clearly hear her own heartbeat. It was as though her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Kacha!
Squeak!
The anti-theft door opened slowly.
The people inside and outside the door were stunned.
At that moment, Ye Zi also heaved a sigh of relief.
"Little girl, what are you doing here?!"
When she saw Chen Mo, Ye Zi's nervousness eased. However, when she heard Chen Mo's question, Ye Zi suddenly frowned.
Yes, why was she here?!
And how did she get Zhang Chaoran's house key?!
Ye Zi's amber-like eyes turned, and then she squeezed out a faint smile on her face. She said to Chen Mo, "Brother Chen Mo, I found something again."
Chen Mo frowned deeply, and his eyes were filled with doubt as he stared at Ye Zi.
Chen Mo was not moved by Ye Zi's answer, but continued to ask, "How did you get in?"
Ye Zi pursed her lips, "That's what I was going to tell you."
Chen Mo's furrowed brows didn't show the slightest sign of relaxing. He turned his body and glanced outside the door. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was faint and hoarse as he said, "Come out and talk."
Ye Zi took a deep breath, lowered her head, and followed Chen Mo out of the crime scene.
Chen Mo closed the door, and his cold eyes stared unblinkingly at Ye Zi's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and into her heart.
After a long silence, Chen Mo opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Tell me, how did you get in?"
Ye Zi bit her lip, took out a key from her jacket pocket, and handed it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at the key in Ye Zi's hand, and he couldn't help but frown. "Where did you get the key to the crime scene?"
Ye Zi didn't want to lie to Chen Mo, but there was an innocent woman in that person's hands. Ye Zi didn't know if he was watching her. If that person knew that she told the police about this, would he directly kill this woman?
After thinking for a long time, Ye Zi let out a long breath, and then said, "When I left here, I saw a suspicious person …"
"Who?!"
Before Ye Zi finished speaking, Chen Mo couldn't wait to ask.
Ye Zi said, "When I left, I saw a man. At that time, everyone was watching, but only he turned around and left. He didn't take a second look, and I began to follow him."
Chen Mo suddenly raised his hand and poked Ye Zi's head hard. "You! You're always so disobedient. If that man is the murderer, you'll be discovered by him. What if you're in danger?! "
Ye Zi smiled awkwardly. She was lying, but Chen Mo was worried about her safety. She felt very guilty.
But if she wasn't lying …
Ye Zi bit her lower lip, and in desperation, she could only continue to lie. "This person's anti-tracking ability is very strong. I lost him, but I picked up this key."
At this point, she paused slightly and glanced at the anti-theft door. Then she said, "I remember that the victim's house was not damaged, so I wanted to take this key here to try. But I didn't expect that this key was really from the crime scene."
Hearing Ye Zi's words, Chen Mo nodded. "Hurry up and go back. Don't worry about this anymore." If you want to talk about [Essay] with more like-minded people, follow Youread Literature on WeChat.
