Ye Zi put on her slippers and got off the bed. She stretched her body lazily and came to the door. She opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, a petite figure rushed into Ye Zi's home with a "whoosh".
Before Ye Zi could see who it was, she heard a ghostly wail and wolf-like howl.
Ye Zi looked in the direction of the voice and suddenly saw a big bump on her blanket. Someone was curled up on the bed, trembling uncontrollably.
"Could it be haunted?" Ye Zi frowned and walked straight to her bed.
She tentatively reached out her hand and grabbed a corner of the blanket. Then...
"Ah!"
Ye Zi and Ye Xinrou cried out at the same time.
Ye Zi jumped in fright and fell to the ground. Ye Xinrou was also frightened. She hugged her knees tightly and buried her head in the depths of her knees. Her long black hair fell down and covered most of her face. She curled up there and trembled even more.
Ye Zi could see a face that was as pale as paper through the gaps in her long hair. She could clearly recognize that the person who was curled up in a ball was Ye Xinrou.
She tentatively reached out and gently touched Ye Xinrou's long hair.
"Ah!" Ye Xin Rou suddenly exclaimed, and her body shrank back.
Ye Zi's brows wrinkled into the shape of a fried dough twist, her eyes filled with bewilderment. "Xiao Rou, what's wrong? I'm your elder sister? "
Perhaps it was because she heard the word "elder sister", but Ye Xinrou seemed to calm down and her trembling body eased a little. She turned her head and saw Ye Zi's face through her black hair. Then, she suddenly threw herself at Ye Zi.
Ye Xinrou's violent attack made Ye Zi feel like her internal organs had been smashed. She coughed twice and said, "Ahem... Xiao Rou, what's wrong with you?"
"Sis, sis..." Ye Xinrou's voice trembled violently. She looked like she was possessed and looked around. After a moment, she saw that she was in Ye Zi's house. Then, with a voice that only Ye Zi and herself could hear, she said, "Sis, you have to help me. This time, this time..."
Ye Xinrou didn't explain the cause and effect. As she spoke, she began to cry.
Ye Zi frowned and gently stroked Ye Xinrou's back. She made her voice extremely slow and gentle, afraid that if she spoke any louder, she would scare Ye Xinrou, who was in her arms. "Xiao Rou, what happened? You have to tell me so I know how to help you."
"Sis..." Ye Xinrou trembled and raised her teary eyes.
This was the first time Ye Zi saw Ye Xinrou reveal such a look in her eyes. Ye Xinrou had been beautiful since she was young, especially Ye Xinrou, who had a pair of clear, bright, and innocent eyes. Her eyes were like a blue lake, and just one look at them would make people sink into them.
But now, that pair of clear, bright eyes were incomparably scarlet. The whites of the eyes were covered in red, and the amber pupils had become turbid.
Because she was crying so hard, her long hair stuck to Ye Xinrou's pale face. Ye Zi was really frightened by her complexion. There was not a single trace of blood on her face, and there were dark circles around her eyes. At first glance, she looked like a vampire who had just broken free from her coffin.
Ye Xinrou choked and sobbed, "Sis, I, I killed someone... Fang Tao..."
Ye Zi couldn't believe her ears. She wondered if she had heard wrongly. What did she mean by "I killed someone?" Could it be that Ye Xinrou meant it literally?
"Calm down. Calm down." Ye Zi tried her best to appease Ye Xinrou's emotions, but Ye Xinrou seemed to be injected with chicken blood. She only knew that she was crying there. Ye Zi called for a long time, but Ye Xinrou didn't have any reaction. In a moment of desperation, Ye Zi waved her hand and slapped Ye Xinrou hard on the face.
"Pa!" There was a crisp sound.
Ye Xinrou was stunned. She raised her hand to cover her face, and her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace.
She widened her eyes and stared at Ye Zi without blinking. She choked with sobs and sobbed a few times.
"Don't cry first. Tell me, what exactly happened?" Ye Zi's expression was anxious, her voice hurried as she asked.
Ye Xinrou finally calmed down completely. She sobbed twice, bit her lower lip hard, and nodded to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi took a tissue and wiped Ye Xinrou's tears. She asked, "What happened?"
Ye Xinrou sobbed, "I don't know. I was bored recently, so... so I agreed to Fang Tao's pursuit and went on a date with him..."
When she said this, she paused for a moment and glanced at Ye Zi. Rather than saying it was a date, it was more like getting a room. Originally, Ye Xinrou didn't like Fang Tao. However, after knowing that Fang Tao had a relationship with a female star, her attitude towards him changed, and she agreed to go on a date with Fang Tao.
Last night, after watching a movie, Fang Tao originally wanted to send Ye Xinrou back to her dormitory, but she refused Fang Tao and proposed that she and Fang Tao go to the express hotel near the cinema.
Ye Xinrou was Fang Tao's goddess. Being able to receive the goddess's love, Fang Tao was so happy that he almost went crazy.
However, something that Ye Xinrou couldn't even dream of happened. In the hotel, they enjoyed each other's youthful and restless bodies. Fang Tao's ability made Ye Xinrou very satisfied. After it ended, Fang Tao hugged Ye Xinrou to sleep. However, in the middle of the night, Ye Xinrou felt that her body was sticky and wet. She groped her way to the ground in the dark. When she turned on the lights, the scene was really terrifying.
The spotlights of the hotel room shone on Fang Tao's corpse. His chest had been cut open, and the bright red blood stained the white bedsheets. The smell of blood mixed with the stench of his internal organs made Ye Xinrou vomit on the spot.
Without much time to think, she rushed out of the hotel and arrived at Xinglan Bay Apartments to look for Ye Zi.
After listening to Ye Xinrou's explanation, Ye Zi narrowed her beautiful eyes and glanced at Ye Xinrou's body. Only then did she realize that Ye Zi was only wearing sportswear and a white camisole, and her body was covered in blood.
Xinglan Bay wasn't far from K University. Ye Zi took a look at the clock on the wall. It was only three in the morning. No wonder no one noticed that Ye Xinrou's body was covered in blood.
"Call the police." Ye Zi was silent for a long time before she slowly opened her mouth.
Ye Xinrou suddenly grabbed Ye Zi's hand and shook her head with all her might. "No, no, Sister, you can't call the police. If you do, I'll be ruined."
Ye Zi struggled to get rid of Ye Xinrou's hand. "What else can I do?!"
Her face turned green and purple, and her voice became hoarse. "Xiao Rou, listen to me. This is a murder case, not a child's play. Only you can help you now. No one can save you. Do you understand?!"
"Sister …" Ye Xinrou panicked and started to speak incoherently. "Or, or, you, you …" She bit her lower lip hard. "You can say that you killed her!!"
"You're crazy!" Ye Zi couldn't believe her ears.
"This is a murder case. Do you think the police won't investigate if I admit to it?" Ye Zi was furious. She never expected that Ye Xinrou would ask her to admit to the crime on her behalf.
It was so funny. Ye Zi wanted to pry open Ye Xinrou's head and see what was in it.
Ye Zi spent so much money every year to support her university. How could she not have any legal knowledge?
She ignored Ye Xinrou, picked up her phone, and dialed Chen Mo's number.
Beep beep beep …
However, there was only the busy tone on the phone. At this moment, Ye Zi remembered that Chen Mo had mentioned that he was going to the provincial police station today.
The situation was urgent, and Ye Zi had no other choice. She looked solemn, as if her fair and clean face was shrouded in a heavy haze. Even her breathing became heavy.
"I'll go get you some clothes." Ye Zi glanced at the clothes Ye Xinrou was wearing, turned around, and walked towards the wardrobe.
When she turned her head again, Ye Xinrou was no longer in her bedroom. Ye Zi thought that she had gone to the living room. When she hurried out, she saw that the door was open, and Ye Xinrou was gone.
Ye Zi sat down on the sofa dejectedly, tightly clutching the clothes in her hands.
Knock, knock, knock.
Three knocks on the door pulled Ye Zi back to her senses. She slowly raised her eyes, and the person reflected in her eyes was a police officer from the city police station.
Chen Mo was not from the police station, and today, Deputy Team Leader Bai Yang led the team to Ye Zi's home.
Ye Zi and Bai Yang were considered old acquaintances. Bai Yang walked straight into Ye Zi's home and looked around. "Ye Zi, do you know where Ye Xinrou is?"
Faced with Bai Yang's blunt question, Ye Zi took a deep breath and said, "She was here just now."
Ye Zi stood up and said, "Brother Bai Yang, you..."
Even if she did not speak, Bai Yang knew what Ye Zi wanted to ask. Bai Yang nodded solemnly and said in a low and solemn voice, "We just received a call from the police. There was a murder at an express hotel near K University, and the deceased was the boy who Wu Xinyi accused of rape a few days ago — Fang Tao."
Bai Yang glanced at Ye Zi. From the looks of it, Ye Xinrou must have told Ye Zi what had happened. "We checked the room registration and found out that it was Ye Xinrou who checked in with Fang Tao last night. We found this place through the Third Eye."
He paused and said, "Ye Zi, Ye Xinrou is your sister. You..."
Ye Zi looked at Bai Yang and frowned. She knew what Bai Yang meant. She bit her lip hard and said, "Brother Bai Yang, I know what I should do. I asked Xiao Rou to call the police, but she is still a child. Brother Bai Yang, do you think you can..."
Bai Yang said, "Ye Zi, you know that we have to do business."
Ye Zi nodded and said, "I know. It's good that we found Xiao Rou. That way, I won't have to worry."
"It's good that you think that way." A smile finally appeared on Bai Yang's face. He nodded at Ye Zi and said, "Since Ye Xinrou is not with you, we'll take our leave."
"I'll see you out."
Ye Zi raised her hand and gestured to the door to send Bai Yang and the others out of the house.
At this moment, Ye Zi felt as though all her energy had been sucked out of her. Her body went limp and she slumped on the sofa in the living room.
The image of Ye Xinrou's terrified expression surfaced in her mind. She could not help but frown deeply. She ran her fingers through her hair. Xiao Rou, where did you go?
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Yan's voice was very pleasant to the ear. It sounded like the rapid strumming of a bass piano. He stood at the door of Ye Zi's room. His posture was as straight as a pine tree and he was dressed in black sportswear. It looked like he was going for a jog.
Lin Yan!
