Thump!
Ye Zi's heart suddenly trembled. She turned out to be the last contact of the deceased!
Could it be that this female victim was …/p
Ye Zi didn't dare to continue thinking about it. Her hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing that Ye Zi's expression wasn't right, Lin Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a frown, "What happened?"
Hearing Lin Yan's voice, Ye Zi came back to reality. She bit her lip hard, took a deep breath, and muttered, "I have to go to the Municipal Crime Squad. Brother Chen Mo, he …"
"About the female victim you saw today?!" Lin Yan's frown deepened.
Ye Zi nodded noncommittally.
Lin Yan asked again, "What happened?"
Ye Zi muttered, "Brother Chen Mo said that the last call record of the female victim's phone was mine."
"It's you?!" Hearing that, Lin Yan's frown deepened. He couldn't understand why Ye Zi's phone number would be in the female victim's call record.
"I'll go to the Municipal Crime Squad first." Ye Zi put her phone into her backpack, walked to the hanger at the door, and took down her cashmere coat.
"Wait."
Seeing that Ye Zi was about to leave, Lin Yan followed her. His thin lips slightly opened, and he said indifferently, "I'll send you there."
He understood Ye Zi. She was full of a sense of justice. No matter what, she would go to the Municipal Crime Squad. Since he knew that he couldn't stop her, he simply let her be. Anyway, with him by Ye Zi's side, Lin Yan was confident that even if there was danger, he could protect Ye Zi and his child.
Ye Zi did not reject. She knew that Lin Yan was worried, so she nodded her head and left Xinglan Bay Apartments with Lin Yan.
Municipal Crime Squad
Chen Mo, who was sitting in his office, looked gloomy, as if a storm was brewing.
"F * ck!"
Chen Mo forcefully threw the folder in his hand onto the ground. Pieces of documents flew in all directions and landed on the ground.
"Why are you so angry?" Ye Zi leaned against the door, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and looked at Chen Mo with a smile.
Chen Mo's furious expression recovered a little. He forced a smile and waved at Ye Zi. "You're here. Come in and take a seat."
Ye Zi walked into Chen Mo's office, picked up the scattered documents one by one, and put them on Chen Mo's desk. She smiled and said, "Who messed with Captain Chen?"
Chen Mo put away the folder and smiled awkwardly. "Isn't it just a series of vexing cases?"
Ye Zi nodded slightly and did not say anything.
Chen Mo got up and poured a glass of warm water for Ye Zi. "Here."
"Why isn't it cola?" Ye Zi frowned.
Chen Mo could not help laughing. His eyes stopped on Ye Zi's stomach. "I don't think you can drink cola in your current condition, right?"
"Ha." Ye Zi looked down. "You already know."
Chen Mo sat opposite Ye Zi. He crossed his hands and put them behind his head. He smiled and said, "When I saw you today, Lin Yan already told me. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet."
"Thank you." Ye Zi smiled and gently touched her stomach.
Chen Mo slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know if your Mr. Lin is showing off."
Hearing that, Ye Zi was a little embarrassed.
She quickly changed the topic and asked, "Brother Chen Mo, what's the situation of the female victim?"
Cutting to the point, Chen Mo returned to his usual serious look. He picked up a document, put it on the desk, and pushed it in front of Ye Zi. "See for yourself."
"Me?!" Ye Zi frowned. "Won't it involve confidential police documents?"
"Ha." Chen Mo chuckled. "Aren't you involved in a lot of confidential matters?"
Ye Zi stuck her tongue out at Chen Mo. Then, she picked up the document and read it.

…/p
According to the autopsy report, this female corpse died because of a blunt object hitting her brain. But livor mortis spots on the surface of the corpse …
If Ye Zi remembered correctly, the female corpse was wearing pajamas when they were on the road. In such a winter, her body had been frozen, so livor mortis spots wouldn't appear on the surface of the corpse. However, if the female corpse had been dead for a long time, then …
Thinking of this, Ye Zi looked up at Chen Mo and asked, "Brother Chen Mo, the time of death of the female corpse was …"
Chen Mo said, "Three days ago."
He thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, little girl, why do you have so many phone records with her during this period of time?"
Well, three days …
Ye Zi's expression changed slightly. It was when Gu Jianjun's murder case ended.
That meant that the mysterious person didn't release the female corpse at all!
Ye Zi's expression became extremely gloomy, as if a thick layer of dark clouds was shrouding her. It was as if a storm was going to happen in the next second.
Subconsciously, she clenched her hands into fists. Her long knuckles were deeply embedded in her palms, and her pale knuckles made a cracking sound.
She clenched her teeth tightly, and for a long time, she was stunned and did not say a word.
Ye Zi thought for a long time and slowly raised her eyelashes. She stared at Chen Mo without blinking, not knowing how to explain.
Lie?!
Or tell the truth?!
Ye Zi was making a difficult choice in her mind.
If the police found out the existence of the mysterious person, she didn't know whether he would take revenge on her in desperation.
She was not afraid of the mysterious person hurting her. However, Ye Zi was pregnant now, and there was an unborn baby in her belly. Even if it was for the sake of the baby, she couldn't say it.
In her mind, she quickly thought of how she should explain it to Chen Mo.
Her frown became deeper and deeper.
Ye Zi pursed her lips, and then she said timidly, "She's my client."
"Client?!" Chen Mo furrowed his brows as he stared at Ye Zi with some doubt in his eyes.
Ye Zi nodded slightly. "She asked me to investigate something before, but you know, I'm pregnant now, so I didn't take the case."
Chen Mo nodded doubtfully. "Did she mention to you what kind of case it was?"
Ye Zi quickly shook her head and said, "No."
Chen Mo nodded slightly. "I see. If there's any problem, I'll call you again to cooperate with the investigation."
"Okay, no problem." Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"I'll walk you out." Chen Mo also stood up.
"No need," Ye Zi refused. "Lin Yan drove me here. He's waiting for me outside."
"Okay." Chen Mo just smiled faintly and watched Ye Zi leave the Municipal Crime Squad.
Standing by the window, Chen Mo watched Ye Zi get into the black Jeep Cherokee. His eyes suddenly darkened, and the confusion on his face suddenly became serious.
Chen Mo had known Ye Zi since she was a child. He knew her as well as he knew himself.
He could tell from Ye Zi's words that she was lying.
Through the preliminary investigation, Chen Mo learned that Ye Zi and Xiao Yihuan didn't have any contact. They didn't know each other at all. As for Ye Zi's claim that Xiao Yihuan asked her to investigate, Chen Mo didn't believe it.
But why would Ye Zi lie?!
This was something Chen Mo couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and spat out two words. "Come in."
Bai Yang walked into Chen Mo's office and glanced out of the window. "Chen Dui, what did the little girl say?"
Chen Mo said, "She just said that the deceased had asked her to investigate a matter. Because of her health condition, she didn't take the case."
"Haha." Bai Yang smiled faintly. He picked up Chen Mo's cup and took a sip of tea. He didn't care that the cup was used by Chen Mo. He put down the cup and raised his eyebrows at Chen Mo. "You believe it?"
Chen Mo shook his head. "The little girl must be hiding something from us. Send someone to follow her."
"Okay." Bai Yang raised his hand and made an "OK" gesture.
Chen Mo glanced at Bai Yang. "Hurry up."
Bai Yang shrugged helplessly. He had no idea why Chen Mo was so hot-tempered recently. He was like a barrel of gunpowder that would explode at the slightest spark.
…/p
Lin Yan drove and glanced at Ye Zi from time to time. "What did Chen Mo say to you just now?"
Ye Zi didn't seem to hear Chen Mo's words. She looked thoughtful and stared out of the window.
Lin Yan frowned slightly. At the next intersection, when the traffic light turned red, he stopped the car. His handsome face moved closer to Ye Zi. His lips curled into a slight smile and he asked gently, "What's wrong, my dear? Is there something on your mind? "
When Ye Zi heard Chen Mo's voice, she tried her best to remain calm. She smiled and replied, "It's nothing. I'm just a little tired."
Lin Yan gently kissed Ye Zi's cheek. Then he rubbed Ye Zi's head. "We'll be home soon. If you're too tired, you can sleep for a while."
Ye Zi nodded and slowly closed her eyes.
When the traffic light turned green, Lin Yan started the car. However, Ye Zi couldn't fall asleep at all. Just then, the phone in Ye Zi's pocket vibrated.
She took out her phone and glanced at the screen.
"Game on."
There were only these four words on the text.
But these four words were enough to make Ye Zi's heart palpitate. Her face turned as white as a sheet …
