With Qin Chen present, Ye Zi could finally relax a little. As the lawyer representing the client, Qin Chen had the right to enter the interrogation room. Ye Zi placed all her bets on Qin Chen. She hoped that Qin Chen could be a professional, and it would be best if he was not as flashy as he looked.
After a while, Qin Chen walked out of the interrogation room and shook hands with Bai Yang. He smiled and said, "Deputy Captain Bai, I'll have to trouble you with this case."
"Lawyer Qin, you're welcome." Bai Yang smiled back and shook hands with Qin Chen.
Ye Zi walked up and asked Bai Yang, "Brother Bai Yang, how is it?"
Bai Yang smiled and patted Ye Zi's shoulder gently. "Little girl, don't worry. Xiao Rou is just cooperating with us. Besides, you are Old Ye's daughter. How could we dare to neglect you?"
Ye Zi still couldn't understand why her sloppy father had such a high prestige in the Criminal Police Unit.
Many things about her father, Ye Zi heard from Chen Mo. However, Ye Zi still refused to believe that her father was a ruthless detective in the past. It was because of this that her father later quit his job and opened the "Scent Detection" detective agency. Since then, he only dealt with women.
"Thank you." Ye Zi sincerely thanked Bai Yang.
Then, she watched as Bai Yang returned to the interrogation room. Ye Zi sat on the bench outside the interrogation room and looked up at Qin Chen. After a moment of silence, she opened her lips and asked, "What did you say just now?"
Qin Chen elegantly sat next to Ye Zi and said faintly, "Don't worry. Your sister didn't kill anyone. She was just cooperating with the police. You should be a frequent visitor of the Municipal Crime Squad. You should know their work procedures."
Although Ye Zi understood, she couldn't help but be worried.
She pursed her lips and remained silent, not saying a word.
Seeing that Ye Zi didn't speak, Qin Chen also became silent and just sat quietly next to Ye Zi.
Time passed. When the door of the interrogation room opened again, Ye Xinrou walked out. When she saw Ye Zi, she immediately threw herself into her arms. "Sister."
"Alright, alright." Ye Zi gently patted her back and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay. Brother Chen Mo will be back soon. With him here, he will definitely prove your innocence. "
Bai Yang's laughter attracted Ye Zi's attention. Ye Zi looked at Bai Yang and asked, "Brother Bai Yang, how is it?"
"The little girl was just scared. It's nothing. She's just temporarily cooperating with us to investigate Fang Tao's death. However, from the looks of it, we still have no clues. Ye Zi, during this time, Xiao Rou can only stay in Binhai City. She can't leave," Bai Yang said.
Ye Zi nodded. "I know. I will let Xiao Rou live with me for the time being. If there are any clues, we will keep in touch."
With Qin Chen around, Ye Xinrou's procedures went smoothly.
Soon, Ye Zi and Ye Xinrou got into Qin Chen's car and went to Xinglan Bay Apartments.
After such a thing happened, Ye Zi was no longer in the mood. She cooked a bowl of noodles for Ye Xinrou and tried to persuade and coax her. After a long time, Ye Xinrou reluctantly took a bite.
Ye Xinrou was also exhausted. Ye Zi asked her to lie down on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Then, she left the room.
Buzz …
Ye Zi was afraid that she would disturb Ye Xinrou, so she turned her phone to vibration mode.
She looked at the phone screen. It was a WeChat message from Chen Mo. "The police have started investigating."
Ye Zi replied. "Brother Chen Mo, sorry to trouble you."
She put her phone in her pocket, walked to the door and put on her shoes. The moment she opened the door, she suddenly saw a tall and straight figure standing in front of her.
Lin Yan stood tall and straight. He looked like a proud and aloof tree. He stood there without any expression on his face.
Ye Zi was slightly stunned. She frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Yan said, "I am going on a business trip. This is the key to my house. You can rest at my place for the time being."
Ye Zi looked at the key that Lin Yan had passed to her. Then, she glanced at her own house.
Her house had one bedroom and one living room. If Ye Xinrou stayed here, she could only sleep on the sofa. It turned out that Lin Yan was worried that she would not have a place to sleep, so he gave her the key to his house.
Lin Yan lowered his head. His gaze was distant and gentle. "Don't misunderstand. I just want you to help me look after my house."
After saying that, Lin Yan turned around and left.
"Sigh." Ye Zi opened her mouth and lightly called out.
Lin Yan turned around. "Is there anything else?"
Ye Zi closed the door and walked over to Lin Yan. "How long will it take for you to come back?"
Lin Yan replied, "Three days."
Ding dong.
The elevator stopped. Lin Yan walked in and saw Ye Zi standing there in a daze. He asked with a frown, "Aren't you coming in?"
"Oh, okay." Ye Zi nodded and hurried into the elevator.
"Where are you going?" Lin Yan's words were always concise and he went straight to the point.
"The detective agency," Ye Zi replied.
"Do you want me to give you a lift?" Lin Yan asked again.
Ye Zi smiled faintly. "It's okay. I have to go to the Municipal Crime Squad first. Brother Chen Mo should be here soon."
"Okay." When Lin Yan said those two words, there was a flash of light in the depths of his eyes. He did not say another word. In an instant, the atmosphere in the elevator became extremely awkward.
Ding dong.
The elevator reached the first floor. Lin Yan walked out of the elevator with his straight and slender legs.
Ye Zi seemed to be thinking about something and was lost in thought for a moment. Suddenly, a large hand with distinct joints grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the elevator.
Ye Zi looked up and frowned at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan's frown deepened. His thin lips opened slightly and he said calmly, "You look like you can't concentrate. I'll send you to the Municipal Crime Squad first."
His words were unquestionable. He pulled Ye Zi's arm and walked to the underground carpark.
Sitting in the black Jeep Cherokee, Ye Zi kept looking out the window. She opened the window, and the air was filled with a damp smell. Treacherous dark clouds, some meandering, some curling, gradually covered the entire sky.
The sun should have been shining brightly in the afternoon, but now, it was as dark as night.
Lin Yan turned to look at Ye Zi. He frowned again and his face looked solemn. "Hungry?"
"Huh?" Ye Zi did not hear what Lin Yan said. She blinked and looked at Lin Yan. "What did you say?"
Lin Yan controlled the steering wheel with one hand and reached for the backseat with the other. He placed a plastic bag on Ye Zi's lap.
"This is …"
Ye Zi looked at Lin Yan and then at the plastic bag. When she opened it, she realized that it was filled with food. There were sandwiches, bread, milk, and two packets of chips.
Ye Zi looked up at Lin Yan and heard him say, "I wanted to take it with me. Now, it's yours."
Ye Zi frowned and pursed her lips. So, he was the one who bought it.
But when she thought about it, she felt that something was amiss. "I thought you don't eat chips?"
Lin Yan replied casually, "My assistant bought it."
"Oh." Ye Zi nodded noncommittally. She took out three pieces and took a bite. This taste … it wasn't something bought in a supermarket. It was more like Lin Yan's handiwork.
She tasted it carefully. Indeed, it was made by Lin Yan.
Ye Zi turned to look at Lin Yan. She did not say anything and finished the sandwich in a few mouthfuls.
Lin Yan took out a glass of water and passed it to Ye Zi. "Eat slowly."
"Thank you." Ye Zi blushed slightly and lowered her head to drink the water.
Half an hour later, the black Jeep Cherokee stopped outside the Municipal Crime Squad. Lin Yan watched as Ye Zi got out of the car, turned the car around, and drove away.
When Lin Yan's car disappeared from Ye Zi's sight, she turned around and walked into the Municipal Crime Squad.
Chen Mo had just rushed back to his office when Ye Zi knocked on the door. "Come in."
"Brother Chen Mo." Ye Zi smiled faintly.
Chen Mo looked at the plastic bag in Ye Zi's hand and laughed. "How did you know I didn't eat anything?"
Ye Zi was stunned. She smiled awkwardly and placed the bag of food on Chen Mo's desk. Then, she leaned over and sat opposite Chen Mo. "Brother Chen Mo, can I go to the crime scene with you?"
Chen Mo took the bread and ate it in big mouthfuls. It took him six or seven hours to go to the provincial hall. Since yesterday, Chen Mo hadn't eaten anything. At this time, he was really hungry. It was rare that Ye Zi, this little girl, had the heart to bring him some food.
He held the bread in one hand and pushed Ye Xinrou's notes to Ye Zi with the other. "You know the rules."
Ye Zi frowned. She flipped through Ye Xinrou's notes and said, "You've already broken the rules. Xiao Rou's notes should be kept confidential."
Chen Mo smiled and took a sip of water. "In a while, Bai Yang will be going to the crime scene. Here, this is the proof for you. You can go with him."
Ye Zi smiled. She knew that Chen Mo would not let her down.
Ye Xinrou's notes were basically the same as what she had said before. Ye Zi closed the notes and put the proof that Chen Mo had prepared for her into her backpack. "Thank you, Brother Chen Mo."
Chen Mo was slightly stunned. He looked at Ye Zi quizzically. After a while, he reached out to touch Ye Zi's forehead. "Aiyo, little girl. When did you learn to say thank you?"
Ye Zi pursed her lips and waved Chen Mo's hand away. "I didn't say anything."
She stood up with her backpack and walked to the door. "I'll take my leave first."
"Be careful." Chen Mo reminded her as he watched Ye Zi leave.
The crime scene was at an express hotel near K University. Because of the murder, the hotel was no longer able to accommodate guests. With the proof from Chen Mo, no one questioned Ye Zi. She followed behind Bai Yang and took the elevator to the seventh floor of the hotel.
Although Ye Zi had heard Ye Xinrou talk about the general process of the murder, when she arrived at the crime scene, she still couldn't resist the impact of the strong smell of blood.
