While Ye Zi was in a daze, Fang Tao furrowed his brows. He seemed to be reluctant to mention Wu Xinyi. His originally gentle and warm gaze was now cold and gloomy.
He shifted his body and lowered his position. It was as if he wanted to bury himself into the dust.
Ye Zi understood that Fang Tao was nervous. At this moment, the more he acted like this, the more it showed the inner monologue of the person being interrogated.
She put away the smile on her face and looked at Fang Tao seriously. "What happened after that?"
Fang Tao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I don't like that kind of thing. Plus, I've always liked Xiao Rou, so I rejected her."
"Then, can you tell me why you appeared at Wu Xinyi's house this time?" Ye Zi asked.
Fang Tao replied, "She called me and said that she had too much to drink and wanted me to accompany her."
A young man in his twenties, full of vigor and vigor, and a young, beautiful, and aloof female celebrity, alone in a room, no one would have simple thoughts. Even Ye Zi, who had just experienced the affairs of the world, couldn't help but blush. However, now wasn't the time to think too much.
"So, you went to accompany her?" Ye Zi furrowed her brows. It was obvious that she didn't believe Fang Tao's words. However, she couldn't make it too obvious. Now was the key to interrogating Fang Tao. If Ye Zi showed too much hesitation, then everything would be in vain.
Although Fang Tao was reluctant, he still nodded. "Yes, I went. However, Wu Xinyi didn't drink. She was wearing her pajamas and wanted to … to …"
Ye Zi smiled as if she was Fang Tao's old friend. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just treat me as your roommate. There's nothing we can't talk about."
"I had sex with her, but after that, she wanted to collect money from me. I didn't expect Wu Xinyi to be such a girl. I didn't agree, so she said that if I didn't give her money, she would call the police and accuse me of raping her."
At this point, Fang Tao lowered his head. This time, he lowered his head even more.
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes and glanced at the reflective glass. Then, she pointed her chin at the door of the interrogation room, as if telling Chen Mo that her interrogation was over.
As he walked out of the interrogation room, Chen Mo walked up to him and asked, "Can you tell anything?"
Ye Zi's father was an expert in interrogations, and she had inherited his skills. Even Chen Mo couldn't match up to Ye Zi's interrogation techniques.
Ye Zi lowered her head. She didn't look too good. As a woman, her first reaction was to put herself in the shoes of a victim. She hated and loathed men, and even felt that her body was dirty. But what Ye Zi didn't expect was that …
It wasn't her body that was dirty, but Wu Xinyi's soul.
"Brother Chen Mo, it's not convenient for me to get involved in this case. I promised an investigator that I would investigate Wu Xinyi's background. You should investigate it yourself."
Ye Zi was very confident in her interrogation techniques. But the more she was confident, the more upset she felt.
She didn't say another word. Like a frosted eggplant, she lowered her head and walked out of the interrogation room.
"Phew …"
Ye Zi took a deep breath and looked up at the cloudy sky. It was going to rain, and the air was damp. Today's weather was like Ye Zi's mood. It was originally clear, but at this moment, it was covered with dark clouds.
The dark clouds loomed over the city.
Drip … drip …
Raindrops the size of soybeans fell on Ye Zi's plump forehead. She reached out to touch it and took a step back. She retreated to the entrance of the Zhongsen branch office and looked at the silver threads connecting the sky and the earth.
"This umbrella is for you."
Chen Mo held up the umbrella and covered Ye Zi's head.
Ye Zi turned her head and squeezed out a bitter smile. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Why did she lie?"
"Little girl, there are too many things that you don't understand." Chen Mo stuffed the umbrella into Ye Zi's hands and smiled faintly. His smile was as warm as the spring breeze, making people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts. "I won't be seeing you off, I still have some matters to attend to at the police station."
"How will you deal with Fang Tao?" Ye Zi asked with a frown.
Chen Mo said, "He'll be detained for 48 hours and continue the investigation."
"Brother Chen Mo …" Ye Zi's frown deepened. The words were about to come out of her mouth, but suddenly, she didn't know what to say. It was as if there was a lump of ice stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow it, and she couldn't spit it out.
Chen Mo and Ye Zi were two or three years apart. Chen Mo's parents were old comrades of Ye Zi's father, so they could be considered childhood friends. He loved Ye Zi very much and raised his hand to rub her head. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I find out the truth, I'll return Fang Tao's innocence."
"Thank you."
Ye Zi's "thank you" seemed to be saying it on behalf of Fang Tao, but also on behalf of Wu Xinyi.
She walked straight out of the Zhongsen branch office, hailed a taxi, and went straight to Xinglan Bay Apartments.
"Achoo."
Ye Zi sneezed and raised her hand to rub the tip of her nose. The last time she was left in the wilderness by Lin Yan, she had a fever and caught a cold. She had always relied on her drive to keep herself alive. But today, she didn't know what was wrong. The cold broke out like a flood at this time.
The illness came like a landslide.
Ye Zi felt that her head was hurting badly, and her throat felt like it was on fire. In just a short while, she couldn't speak anymore.
She closed her eyes unconsciously. When she arrived at Xinglan Bay Apartments, the taxi driver woke her up. After Ye Zi paid the driver, she dragged her tired body into the apartment's elevator.
As soon as she looked up, Ye Zi saw the person she didn't want to see — Lin Yan.
He was still wearing his high and mighty appearance, cold, decisive, and inhuman. It seemed that when she got close to Lin Yan, the temperature would drop to the freezing point.
She didn't know if it was because of this, or because the cold was too severe, but Ye Zi couldn't help but shiver. Then, she pressed the button for the 22nd floor.
The atmosphere in the elevator was very awkward. It was just Ye Zi and Lin Yan. When the elevator reached the seventh floor, Ye Zi's landlady, Auntie Zhang, walked into the elevator with a poodle in her arms.
Auntie Zhang saw Lin Yan, and then looked at Ye Zi. She smiled and said, "Little Ye Zi, you got off work so early."
Ye Zi nodded politely, "Auntie Zhang, are you looking for me?"
Auntie Zhang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, you see, it's almost time to pay the rent. Little Ye Zi, it's not that Auntie is rushing you, but … "
Ye Zi smiled, took out her wallet from her backpack, took out a stack of cash, and handed it to Auntie Zhang, "It's okay, I don't want to default on the rent."
"Achoo!"
Suddenly, Lin Yan sneezed and interrupted the conversation between the two.
Ye Zi and Auntie Zhang looked at Lin Yan at the same time. Ye Zi frowned slightly. Could it be that Lin Yan saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he was trying to find a sense of existence?
"Achoo! Achoo … "
Lin Yan used his long fingers to cover the tip of his nose. His long eyebrows were wrinkled, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes. He deliberately kept a distance from Auntie Zhang and the little poodle in her arms.
Oh …
Ye Zi slightly hooked her lips. It turned out that he was allergic to dog fur.
Did this mean that he had seized one of his weaknesses?
In the future, if he bullied her, Ye Zi would raise a dozen stray dogs in the corridor on the 22nd floor.
Lin Yan slightly frowned. He hadn't caught a cold for a long time. He often went to the gym and had a strong and sturdy body. If he wasn't infected by Ye Zi …
He knitted his brows as he looked at Ye Zi whose little black eyes were rolling around in her eye sockets. He didn't know what kind of naughty idea she was holding back.
If Ye Zi knew that Lin Yan was thinking of her like this, she would definitely step on his feet.
Ding dong.
The elevator quickly stopped. Auntie Zhang said, "Little Ye Zi, I've already received the rent. I won't be going up."
"Goodbye, Auntie Zhang."
Ye Zi smiled sweetly and waved to Auntie Zhang.
The elevator continued to go up. Ye Zi leaned against the wall. Her breathing became a little heavy. It seemed that the cold was very serious. She rubbed her nose and felt that her eyelids were as heavy as lead. Her vision became more and more blurred.
Ye Zi held the handrail so that she wouldn't fall. She couldn't make a fool of herself in front of Lin Yan. She absolutely couldn't let him see her as a joke.
Boom … Kacha …
The elevator suddenly stopped, but it wasn't because someone pressed the button. It was stuck between the 12th and 13th floor, not going up or down.
"What, what's wrong?!" Ye Zi frowned. Her pale face seemed to be painted with a layer of white wax.
Lin Yan crossed his hands and leaned against the wall. His thin lips slightly opened and said in a faint voice, "There's a problem with the elevator."
It can't be! Ye Zi's face became gloomy. How could she be so unlucky? Not only was she deceived by Wu Xinyi, but she also had a fever. Now, she was trapped in the elevator …
If she wanted to find someone as unlucky as her, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to find a second person.
"The elevator, the elevator won't suddenly descend, right?!" Ye Zi's voice was slightly trembling.
As soon as her voice fell, the elevator suddenly descended rapidly, giving people the feeling of a jump off a building in an amusement park.
"Ah!"
Ye Zi exclaimed. She didn't know when she got close to Lin Yan. As the elevator descended rapidly, Ye Zi unconsciously grabbed onto Lin Yan's arm.
Lin Yan's head hurt from Ye Zi's cry. He wanted to break free from her hand, but he found that at this moment, she was grabbing onto his arm with great force. This feeling … was very similar to that night when Ye Zi had a high fever. She tightly grabbed onto his hand and asked him not to leave.
That girl …
Lin Yan frowned. Ye Zi was really too similar to her. When she was young, when she encountered something scary, she would also grab onto him like Ye Zi.
With a loud "boom", the elevator suddenly stopped.
