"Xu Xu, only my girlfriend can control me. I can't. "After saying this, Ji Bai stared at her calmly.
Xu Xu stared back at him and answered very straightforwardly, "I don't want to control you."
Ji Bai looked at her bright and magnanimous eyes and felt a stifling feeling in his chest that was silently blocked up. She had always been straightforward, so by saying this, it meant that she was not interested in him at all.
The irritation in his heart gradually increased, so Ji Bai calmly picked up the cigarette and put it in his mouth again.
Unexpectedly, she continued, "Master, I'm just concerned about you."
She looked serious and sincere. Perhaps she was not used to taking the initiative to express her kindness to others, her fair little face blushed.
Ji Bai was silent for a moment, then he suddenly laughed.
He put out the cigarette in the ashtray and looked at her. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xu Xu smiled and continued, "Actually, there are many ways to reduce stress, but smoking is the most unhealthy way, I believe you know that too. It's not very difficult to quit smoking … "
She spoke methodically. As Ji Bai listened to her low and soft voice, his heart seemed to become lazy and comfortable. He thought to himself, 'Ji Bai, Ji Bai, she's so naive and slow! Why did your mood go up and down just because of a few words from her today? You're like a young man now. You have to make her follow you unknowingly, don't get confused by her. '
As he thought of this, he said calmly, "You're right, but I'm addicted to smoking, so it's hard for me to quit. You're an expert and you care about me, so you'll have to help me quit smoking in the future. "
Xu Xu replied, "Okay. I'll go back and do some research, then we'll come up with a plan. "
While the two of them were talking, the door of the private room was pushed open.
Old Wu was talking on the phone, so he nodded at the two of them and pulled out a chair to sit down.
Since other subordinates were here, Ji Bai naturally had to restrain himself. Just as he was about to put his arm down from the back of Xu Xu's chair, Yao Meng walked in.
She was stunned when she saw Ji Bai's actions and Xu Xu, who was sitting obediently next to him.
Ji Bai's expression did not change, nor did he move his arm, but he glanced at Yao Meng's face. Yao Meng's lips curled into a smile, then she put down her bag and sat down.
Only then did Ji Bai naturally put down his arm. Yao Meng happened to raise her head and their eyes met again. Seeing his calm expression, Yao Meng's heart was filled with suspicion and disappointment, but she couldn't see through him, so she could only lower her gaze.
At this moment, Old Wu hung up the phone with an excited look on his face. "Boss, there are two important new discoveries."
The news that Old Wu brought was very crucial.
First, Second Brother Ye Jin had an alibi. In her confession, she mentioned that she sat alone in the garden downstairs for a while at around 23 o 'clock that night. The Ye family had an old driver in his late fifties who happened to be on leave these days. When he was questioned by the police at work today, he said that he had seen Ye Jin on the night of the crime. The servant's room he lived in was not far from the second couple's villa. He slept late every day and heard noises and saw Ye Jin walking in the garden.
When Ji Bai and Xu Xu heard this alibi that suddenly popped up, they were stunned.
The second piece of news that Old Wu brought was about third brother Ye Qiao.
The police had been checking the highway surveillance cameras near the Ye family and the crime scene. Today, they finally found a surveillance camera that captured Ye Qiao driving past at 21: 47 on the night of the incident. In other words, she had gone out that night.
After listening to Ji Bai and Xu Xu's speculation about Zhang Shiyong's lover, Old Wu agreed. "Now, it seems that the third couple is the most suspicious. But Boss, what about the evidence that you mentioned? "
Ji Bai smiled. "Clothes."
Xu Xu was enlightened. "The personal clothes that Zhang Shiyong took away from the crime scene?"
Ji Bai nodded.
Old Wu pondered. Yao Meng hesitated.
Ji Bai explained calmly, "From the messy wardrobe at the crime scene, we can deduce that Zhang Shiyong only took his personal belongings away after Ye Zixi died. It was early in the morning at that time. What would he do with these things?
Throw them on the road? No. His clothes are all handmade from famous brands and would be too eye-catching. The police will soon search the entire vicinity of Lin An Mountain. Throwing away the clothes would be tantamount to exposing himself.
Bring them back to the company? Also no. Every elevator in the building has surveillance cameras and the police will also thoroughly check the surveillance records. It would be too eye-catching for him to carry such a big box of clothes upstairs the next morning.
Bring them back home? The police have been going in and out of the Ye family's residence for the past few days.
Moreover, since the morning of the crime, our people have been monitoring the Ye family 24 hours a day. He had no other chance to get rid of them. "
Old Wu continued, "So his clothes are still with him. They are most likely in the car. As long as we find these clothes, it is very likely that we will find traces of the crime scene. "
The four of them were silent for a while, then Xu Xu asked, "Can we apply for a search warrant?"
Before Ji Bai could answer, Old Wu shook his head. "There is no other evidence at the moment. We can only rely on our inference. The other party is also a well-known person in the city, so it will be more difficult to apply for a search warrant."
They thought that they had found a breakthrough, but who knew that they would be stuck in an impasse again. Old Wu and the other two frowned and pondered, but Ji Bai smiled.
He subconsciously took out a cigarette, but just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he suddenly heard Xu Xu call out very quickly and softly, "Master." When he looked up, he saw the little fellow staring straight at the cigarette in his hand and giving him a serious look.
Ji Bai could not help but feel a hint of sweetness in his heart.
Then, he pinched the cigarette and showed a slightly embarrassed look. In the end, he nodded at her with the same serious look and put down the cigarette.
Old Wu laughed. "Xu Xu, you even control Master's smoking?"
Xu Xu replied, "Not really. Master has decided to quit smoking, so I'm supervising him on his behalf. Old Wu, do you want to quit too? "
Yao Meng looked at this scene and felt that her smile was a little stiff. She heard her light voice change the topic. "Boss, without a search warrant, what should we do?"
Ji Bai looked at her and replied with a faint smile, "It's okay, I will think of another way."
After eating for a while, Ji Bai's phone rang. He looked at the number and smiled. He got up and left the house.
On the other end of the phone, Ye Zixiao was polite but distant. "Officer Ji, I was in a meeting just now and didn't receive your call. What's the matter?"
Ji Bai said in a low voice, "It's about Ye Zixi's case. I need your help with something."
Ye Zixiao's voice became solemn. "Go ahead."
Ji Bai leaned against the wall of the small shop and looked at the dark sky. The stars were sparse like water. He said faintly, "I believe you have also noticed that Ye Zixi's villa is missing the clothes of her lover. We speculate that there may be traces of the crime scene on the clothes, and the lover probably hasn't found a chance to throw them away. They are the key evidence in this case. If possible, I hope you can help the police pay attention to whether anyone in the Ye Group is acting strangely. Of course, this is also in the hope that your family can be cleared of suspicion as soon as possible. "
After listening to him, Ye Zixiao was silent for a moment before he replied, "Okay, I will pay attention."
In the end, less than half an hour after the meal, Ji Bai received another call from Ye Zixiao. His tone was resolute and slightly angry. "The clothes and lover have been found! Come over. "
Ye Zixiao was not a fool. Although Ji Bai did not say that he suspected the Ye Family and only mentioned the Ye Group, the first person that came to his mind was still his family.
When he received the call, he was eating at home. Today, the police came to the company to investigate the case, so Ye Lanyuan asked everyone to come back for dinner. When everyone arrived, Ye Lanyuan said, "From now on, we will mourn for Zixi before dinner every day."
No one objected, and no one said anything.
However, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got as he sat at the dining table. He put down his chopsticks with a cold face and walked out, ignoring his father's gloomy face and his third sister's obstruction.
Because everyone was eating in the big house, everyone's cars were also parked outside by the flowerbed. Ye Zixiao stood in the dark night and looked at the row of good cars. Without thinking much, he turned around and called the Ye Residence's captain driver and the security captain.
"Open the trunks of all the cars."
"Tell your men to stop them. No one is allowed to come over."
The driver and the security captain were stunned. Seeing that the two of them did not move, he smiled. "Go quickly! Otherwise, I will kick you out tomorrow. Listen to me today, I will reward each of you 50,000 yuan. "However, Ye Zixiao had always been the overlord of the family and the beloved son of the old master. Who would dare to disobey him? The two of them had a good relationship with him, so they simply gritted their teeth and went.
The trunks were opened one by one, and Ye Zixiao checked them one by one with a cold face. This movement alarmed the people in the house, and they all ran out. Ye Ziqiang was the first to change his face. "Lao Si, what are you doing?"
Ye Zixiao did not even look at him, and shouted to the team of security guards next to him, "Stop them!" The security guards did not dare to stop them. They pushed and shoved, pretending to be stupid. Ye Zixiao drove a few more cars. Ye Jin stood in the porch in silence. Ye Qiao crossed her arms in front of her chest, and the smile on her face was cold and mocking. Zhang Shiyong's face changed slightly, and he rushed forward. "Zixiao, what are you doing?"
In fact, Ye Zixiao thought that he would find something in Wu Xie's car, but it was empty. At this time, he was facing a BMW X5, but the captain driver said that he did not have the car key.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry about it. It's none of your business." Ye Zixiao said to Zhang Shiyong, then looked up at the people in front of the porch. "Whose car is this?"
Zhang Shiyong's face darkened. "This is my car."
Ye Zixiao was slightly shocked. He looked at his brother-in-law, whom he had always respected as his brother. "Your car? Open it. "
Zhang Shiyong's face was also a little cold. "I don't like people touching my things."
Ye Zixiao glanced at him, and many vague thoughts flashed through his mind. He suddenly shouted at the captain of the security guards next to him, "Smash it!"
The trunk was forcibly pried open, and the big suitcase inside was cut open with a knife. A man's suit, pajamas, underwear, leather shoes, teacups, and toiletries were scattered out. No one around them said anything. Zhang Shiyong's face was indifferent. "What are you looking for?"
Ye Zixiao ignored his indifference, grabbed his tie, and punched him hard in the face. "Damn it, it's really you!"
When Ji Bai and the others arrived at the Ye house, Ye Zixiao was sitting on the back of the car with a bloody nose and a swollen face. He was surrounded by a group of security guards, and no one was allowed to approach him. Zhang Shiyong's clothes and hair were messy. He stood a few steps away with a gloomy face.
The rest of the Ye family were silent with different expressions. Ye Lanyuan did not show up.
When he saw Ji Bai, Ye Zixiao jumped out of the car. "Officer, I have evidence to submit."
Xu Xu saw his embarrassed and fierce look, but she did not say anything. When she saw Ji Bai's indifferent face, she suddenly understood what Ji Bai meant when he said that he would find a way to find these clothes again.
He must have expected that Ye Zixiao would do this.
After being officially invited to the police station, Zhang Shiyong, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat in the brightly lit hearing room. He was not nervous at all, but half of his face was bruised, which made him look hideous.
"I don't understand why I was brought to the police station in the middle of the night." He looked calm. "I'll wait for my lawyer."
Ji Bai and Old Wu personally interrogated him. Old Wu threw the identification report in his hand. "Stop pretending. A custom-made Italian suit? It's consistent with Ye Zixi's spending record. She gave it to you, right? There are traces of soil from the murder scene in the leather shoes. You probably don't know that the soil composition is different in every part of the world. What's more, there's Ye Zixi's DNA in the toiletries. Mr. Zhang, how do you explain this? "
Xu Xu, Yao Meng, and the others listened and observed quietly through a dark glass.
However, in the face of irrefutable evidence, Zhang Shiyong pondered for a moment and leaned back in his chair, as if he had completely relaxed. "Yes. Ye Zixi is my mistress. But I didn't kill her, and there's no accomplice. I'm just playing with women. I have many women, and she can only be considered as the one who has been with me for a long time. Can't I? "
On the other side of the glass, Yao Meng cursed. "Animal." Xu Xu also frowned.
At this time, Ji Bai asked faintly, "You went to the crime scene on the night of the crime."
Zhang Shiyong looked up at Ji Bai. "I did go there. But when I arrived, she was already dead. "
