"Fengchi!"
Ye Zi couldn't care less. She hurriedly shouted Qin Fengchi's name. At the same time, she tried her best to slam against the locked bathroom door.
Bang … Bang … Bang …
Once, twice, thrice …
Ye Zi felt that her shoulder blades were about to be crushed. Finally, her hard work paid off. The wooden door of the bathroom was finally opened by Ye Zi. At this time, Qin Fengchi also ran over, but he was blocked by Ye Zi outside the door.
Wu Xinyi had really committed suicide. Fortunately, Ye Zi managed to slam open the bathroom door in time. When she was sent to the hospital, she was unconscious due to excessive blood loss. Ye Zi showed her kindness. Of course, the premise was that she had donated her O-type blood to Wu Xinyi for the sake of the 500,000 yuan reward.
Ye Zi sat outside the emergency room, pressing on the needle hole after her blood was drawn. Her bangs fell down and covered most of her face. It had happened so suddenly. Now, this matter had escalated to the level of a serious case. She was afraid that she had no choice but to call the police.
The victim had already developed suicidal tendencies. They had to start psychological counseling.
"Tsk!" Ye Zi clicked her tongue. She raised her hand and slapped her forehead. "Stupid! How could I let Wu Xinyi take a bath! "
Wu Xinyi didn't want to call the police at the first instance. Moreover, she had taken a bath. This was the best time to collect evidence.
She didn't think that Wu Xinyi would commit suicide. If that was the case …
But it was too late to say anything now.
After Qin Fengchi paid the hospital fees, he walked to Ye Zi's side and handed her a glass of brown sugar water. "I just exchanged two autographed photos for this. Drink some to nourish your body. "
"Okay." Ye Zi took it and took a sip. After a moment of silence, she looked up at Qin Fengchi. Her eyes were solemn and sincere. "Fengchi, we should call the police."
"But …" Qin Fengchi was worried. He glanced at the emergency room. "Xinyi …"
"This is a rape case, not a crazy fan incident. We must call the police!" Ye Zi's attitude was firm and unquestionable.
From the perspective of the victim, Ye Zi sympathized with Wu Xinyi. But she couldn't easily condone crimes, especially rape. She hated this kind of criminal. She would be considered lenient if they weren't sentenced to death for bullying women.
"I still have to discuss with Xinyi whether to call the police or not." Qin Fengchi was still a little hesitant. As a friend, he chose to respect Wu Xinyi.
There was nothing Ye Zi could do. After all, Wu Xinyi was a public figure. After pondering for a moment, Ye Zi nodded and walked into the emergency room.
After the blood transfusion, Wu Xinyi's complexion had slightly improved and was no longer as pale as a piece of paper. She closed her eyes tightly and her long eyelashes were dotted with sparkling tears. It was obvious that she had been crying since she woke up.
Ye Zi was a woman, so it was easier to talk to her than Qin Fengchi. She leaned over and sat next to Wu Xinyi and held her hand. Even now, she felt like bathing in the sun if she could give her a little bit of warmth.
Wu Xinyi opened her eyes slowly, and tears fell instantly. She bit her lower lip, and there was a sweet taste of blood in her mouth.
Ye Zi took out a tissue from her backpack and handed it to Wu Xinyi. She took a deep breath and said, "Xinyi, I deeply sympathize with what you've been through. But this has become a criminal case. I'm just a private detective, so I have no right to interfere with a criminal investigation. I hope you can understand."
Wu Xinyi sniffled and wiped her tears with the tissue. She understood Ye Zi's concerns. But as a woman, and a female celebrity at that, if people found out that she had been raped, her career, her reputation, and everything she had fought for would be destroyed.
Looking at Wu Xinyi's frown, Ye Zi shook her head slightly. "You have to remember that you're the victim, not the perpetrator. You've acted in so many criminal investigation TV shows and movies. In the eyes of the audience, you're a righteous police officer, just like the ones in the TV shows. If you were in such a situation, how would you handle it?"
Hearing this, Wu Xinyi fell into deep thought. After a long while, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Zi, her gaze was filled with unswerving determination. Ye Zi could see that Wu Xinyi had thought things through, or perhaps, her words just now had moved Wu Xinyi.
Wu Xinyi pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before she nodded at Ye Zi. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Call the police."
Ye Zi smiled. Her smile was warm and peaceful, like a spring breeze. At least this way, it could make Wu Xinyi feel a little more sincere. Ye Zi took out her phone and dialed Chen Mo's number.
"Little girl, what's up this time?"
The corner of Ye Zi's lips twitched. Chen Mo always treated her like a child. She pursed her lips and covered the phone receiver. She lowered her voice and said, "Brother Chen Mo, I want to call the police."
"Call the police?"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Mo heard Ye Zi's words and couldn't help but frown. He asked anxiously, "What happened to you?"
"It's not me." Ye Zi said, "A friend of mine was raped. She's in the First Hospital now."
"Okay, I'll bring the team there right away."
Half an hour after hanging up the phone, Chen Mo brought the team to the First Hospital of Binhai City and met Ye Zi.
"What's the situation with the victim?" Chen Mo quickly walked in front of Ye Zi. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his voice was so deep that it sounded like the music played by a cello.
Ye Zi glanced at the ward and frowned slightly. "The victim is the female celebrity, Wu Xinyi."
"Wu Xinyi?" Chen Mo frowned even more deeply when he heard that.
Wu Xinyi had acted in many criminal investigation movies and TV series. She was also quite famous in the criminal police force. Many young police officers regarded her as a goddess. Although Chen Mo wasn't a fan of celebrities, he more or less knew Wu Xinyi. At that time, when Wu Xinyi was filming the TV series, she had specially visited their police station.
How could it be her?
Chen Mo frowned and glanced at the few male colleagues behind him. "Little girl, how's the victim's mood?"
"Not too good. She just cut her wrist. Also, Brother Silent Disaster …" Ye Zi pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "The victim just took a shower. Perhaps she's in the process of collecting evidence."
Chen Mo's brows were twisted, and there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes. "Little girl, you were taught by your master. How can you not understand such a simple logic!? The most important thing in a rape case is to collect evidence. You … Sigh! "
He sighed, looking exasperated that she didn't live up to his expectations.
Ye Zi was like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head deeply. "Brother Chen Mo, don't criticize me. Go and see the victim first."
Chen Mo shook his head helplessly and gently patted Ye Zi's shoulder. "I'm doing this for your own good."
Chen Mo said, "In order to take care of the victim's emotions, you should help me take the statement. I'll help you from the side."
Ye Zi nodded. She had a general understanding of the situation, so it would be more convenient for her to take the statement.
In order to take care of Wu Xinyi's emotions, only Wu Xinyi, Ye Zi, and Chen Mo were left in the ward. Ye Zi sat opposite her and prepared to take the statement. She tried her best to keep her tone calm so that Wu Xinyi wouldn't notice anything amiss. "Xinyi, let's take the statement now. Can you do it?"
Wu Xinyi took two deep breaths. She was either nervous or afraid. Her chest was heaving up and down, and it wasn't easy for her to calm down. She nodded at Ye Zi.
"Okay, let's start." Ye Zi gave Wu Xinyi a gentle smile and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Perhaps this was the thing that Wu Xinyi didn't want to talk about the most. It was like a thorn that pierced deep into her heart. Tears started to flow down her cheeks. Then, she said, "I was out filming yesterday, and it was around ten in the morning. When I got home and took a shower, I heard some noises at the door …"
"Phew …"
Wu Xinyi let out a sigh of relief and continued, "I put on my bathrobe and wanted to go out to take a look. Then, I saw him. He rushed in front of me and covered my mouth with a towel. When I woke up, I realized that I was already … already …"
"Xinyi, you have to calm down. That's enough. Let's talk about how you escaped, okay?" Ye Zi knew that it was difficult for a woman to stay calm when faced with this kind of situation, especially when she was required to recall the details. So, she chose to skip this part and let Wu Xinyi directly talk about the process of her escape.
Wu Xinyi nodded and said in a low voice, "I remember that I picked up the award seat on the coffee table and knocked him out. Only then did I have the chance to run out and ask for help. After that, I met you and …"
"Riverside Garden has always been known for its strict security. How did he get into your house?"
Chen Mo suddenly interrupted Wu Xinyi's words.
Wu Xinyi shook her head hard, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "I don't know. This fan has harassed me more than once. Before, before, before, he left his underwear in my house and said that it was worn by him. I-I …"
"Why didn't you call the police at that time?" Chen Mo frowned and asked in a low voice. His face was serious.
"I thought, I thought …"
Ye Zi saw the painful expression on Wu Xinyi's face. She glanced sideways at Chen Mo and pointed her chin at the door. "You go out first. I'll ask the questions."
Chen Mo's cold eyes lingered on Wu Xinyi's face. After hearing Ye Zi's words, he was silent for a moment and turned to walk out of the ward.
After a while, Ye Zi also walked out and handed the interrogation record in her hand to Chen Mo. "Here."
Chen Mo took the record and glanced at it.
