The door of the interrogation room was like a wall, blocking freedom and imprisoning souls. Ye Zi stopped outside the door of the interrogation room. She took a deep breath and walked into the glass room. She saw a man from two years ago. His head was drooping, and his bangs were scattered, covering most of his face. His hands were in a praying position, and his wrists were handcuffed.
He did not have any expression, just quietly waiting for the police to question him.
"What do you think?" Chen Mo walked to Ye Zi's side. His hands were crossed in front of his chest. His thin lips were slightly opened, and his voice was distant and low.
Ye Zi glanced at Chen Mo. "His hands are in a praying position. From a psychological point of view, he is praying for something. Perhaps, he is praying for this rape case …"
Before she finished speaking, Ye Zi suddenly noticed the suspect's feet. He was not like the people who were interrogated in the past. His toes were facing the door, hoping to leave as soon as possible.
His feet were crossed. It was obvious that he was very at ease, very calm, and it could even be said that he was very certain.
What was he so certain about?!
Ye Zi frowned slightly and asked, "When do we start interrogating him?"
Chen Mo glanced at Zhou Hongze, the criminal police officer beside him, and nodded to him.
Zhou Hongze nodded, left the glass room, and walked into the interrogation room. Zhou Hongze placed the notebook on the table, and his cold eyes were like knives. He stared at the suspect without blinking. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Name?"
"Fang Tao."
"Age?"
"24 years old."
"Do you know why we arrested you?" Zhou Hongze recorded Fang Tao's information and looked at him coldly.
Fang Tao finally raised his head. His eyes were clear and clean, like a bottomless blue lake.
Ye Zi did not expect the suspected rape suspect to be such a handsome boy. Moreover, Ye Zi seemed to have seen this boy somewhere before, but she could not remember where.
"I know." Fang Tao nodded and exhaled the foul air in his chest. "You said that I raped the female celebrity, Wu Xinyi."
Since he used the words "you guys say", it was obvious that he was unwilling to admit that he had committed rape.
Ye Zi frowned slightly and looked at Fang Tao's face through the reflective glass. From the incident to the present, only a few hours had passed. Chen Mo led a team to arrest the suspect, Fang Tao.
Chen Mo found that Fang Tao had appeared in front of Wu Xinyi's house when Wu Xinyi was raped, and Fang Tao had wandered around there for a while. However, whether Fang Tao had entered Wu Xinyi's house was unknown. Because, for some unknown reason, the surveillance outside Wu Xinyi's house was broken at some point.
"Do you think it's him?" Chen Mo lowered his voice and whispered in Ye Zi's ear.
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes and glanced at Chen Mo. "You can't tell if a person is a bad person just from his appearance. If that was the case, the police wouldn't be needed."
She pursed her lips and stared at Fang Tao. After a long silence, Ye Zi said, "Brother Chen Mo, where did you catch the suspect?"
Chen Mo replied, "K University's dormitory."
"K University?!"
Ye Zi was stunned. She finally remembered where she had seen Fang Tao.
If she remembered correctly, Fang Tao used to be one of Ye Xinrou's pursuers. Ye Zi had even helped Ye Xinrou to stop her pursuit. Moreover, it was an almost crazy pursuit.
If he really pursued Wu Xinyi like how he pursued Ye Xinrou, Ye Zi could believe that he would do something out of line.
Ye Zi stared at Chen Mo and said, "He's Xinrou's pursuer."
Chen Mo asked, "Do you know him?"
Ye Zi shook her head slightly and pondered for a while. She looked at Fang Tao. His face was sickly pale, and the collar of his shirt was slightly open. She could clearly see his fair and long neck.
She had heard from Wu Xinyi that she had knocked out the suspect with a trophy. However, no matter how she looked at him, Fang Tao did not look like he was injured.
"Not really." Ye Zi moved closer to Chen Mo and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen Mo, have you done any evidence?"
Chen Mo nodded. "The details are similar to what Wu Xinyi said."
"Can I interrogate him?" Ye Zi's eyes were half-closed. Her amber-like pupils shrank slightly. She stared at Chen Mo as if she was waiting for Chen Mo's permission.
Chen Mo was a little hesitant. He raised his hand and touched his angular chin. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Be careful."
"Okay." Ye Zi responded and was about to walk to the interrogation room. Chen Mo grabbed her arm and handed the police uniform to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi pushed the police uniform back and pursed her lips into a faint smile. "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
After that, Ye Zi walked into the interrogation room.
Zhou Hongze heard the sound of the door opening and looked in the direction of the sound. He knew Ye Zi. He knew that Ye Zi's father was the captain's teacher, Mr. Ye, who was quite famous in the police force. However, for some reason, he suddenly resigned and left Binhai City for many years. When he came back again, he opened a private detective agency called "Scent Detection."
He smiled at Ye Zi, then glanced at the one-sided reflective glass and nodded.
Ye Zi sat down and crossed her hands in a praying posture. She took the lead and said to Fang Tao, "Fang Tao, do you still remember me?"
Fang Tao heard a somewhat familiar voice and slowly raised his head. He pressed his lips together and nodded to Ye Zi. He opened his mouth and said in a faint and hoarse voice, "You are Xiao Rou's sister."
Ye Zi nodded and smiled slightly. "That's right."
She looked at Zhou Hongze and narrowed her eyes. She gave him a look and said, "Officer Zhou, please get him a glass of water."
Zhou Hongze understood and got up and walked out of the interrogation room. After a while, he returned to the interrogation room with a bottle of mineral water. Ye Zi took the bottle from his hand. Then, Zhou Hongze naturally turned around and walked out of the interrogation room.
Ye Zi walked in front of Fang Tao and handed him the bottle of mineral water. "Thirsty?"
Fang Tao's eyes were filled with gratitude. He took the bottle of mineral water from Ye Zi's hand and nodded to thank her. "Thank you."
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Ye Zi was different from the other police officers who always looked high and mighty. Instead, she bent down and squatted beside Fang Tao. She maintained a warm and kind smile on her face the whole time.
Fang Tao knew Ye Zi. Moreover, Ye Zi's interrogation method was different from that of the police. This made Fang Tao relax a little. He opened the bottle and took a sip of water. "I've been set up."
"Why would you say that?" Ye Zi was talking to Fang Tao in a meaningful and heartfelt manner. She was very much like a friend of his, a caring sister.
Fang Tao glanced at Ye Zi. He remembered that Ye Zi was Ye Xinrou's sister. Moreover, she was not a police officer. He let his guard down and asked Ye Zi, "Why are you interrogating on behalf of the police?"
He appeared extremely calm, so calm that it seemed like they were not in a police station, but in a beautiful coffee shop.
Ye Zi was also deeply suspicious of his calmness, but she still hooked her lips into a smile and said, "I came to see a friend today and happened to pass by. I heard your name, so I wanted to come in and see if there's anything I can help you with."
"Help me?" Fang Tao frowned. "I don't think that's necessary."
"Why?" Ye Zi asked.
Fang Tao smiled bitterly. "If I said that I'm innocent, would you believe me?"
Ye Zi nodded. "Of course."
"But the teachers and students in school won't believe me. They will definitely think that I'm a rapist. No matter what the outcome is, I'll be fired. " Fang Tao's voice was a little gloomy. He lowered his head again, like a frosted eggplant. He had no fighting spirit at all.
"No, you're wrong." Ye Zi stood up unhurriedly and patted Fang Tao's shoulder lightly. "The police will not wrongly accuse a good person. At the same time, they will not condone a bad person."
Fang Tao frowned and asked, "Really?"
Ye Zi smiled and nodded. "If the police find out that this matter has nothing to do with you after their investigation, they will definitely come to K University to help you prove your innocence. Even if they don't come, I will."
Looking at Fang Tao, who was deep in thought, Ye Zi took a glance at the one-way mirror. After a while, she narrowed her eyes and continued to ask, "So, can you tell me what happened now?"
Fang Tao sighed and looked extremely dejected. "I'll have to start from when I was rejected by Xiao Rou. Oh yes, it was that time at the school gate. It was you who helped Xiao Rou reject me."
Ye Zi's lips twitched. Why did his words sound so awkward? It was as if she was the one who started everything. "Get to the point."
Fang Tao nodded and said, "After I was rejected by Xiao Rou, I drank in a bar in the city center. It was also that day that I met Wu Xinyi. She was the most beautiful and gentle girl I've ever met. She was also the only female celebrity I know. She was very kind and didn't put on airs like a celebrity. We drank a lot that day and talked a lot."
He paused for a while and seemed to recall what happened that day. After a while, Fang Tao continued, "Later on, Xinyi drank too much and I sent her home. When I arrived at her house, I realized that she wasn't like how she was on TV. She liked to play exciting games."
"Exciting games?" Ye Zi was puzzled. She frowned and asked, "What games?"
Fang Tao's face turned red when he heard that. "I-it's SM."
This time, it was Ye Zi's turn to feel embarrassed.
