Like other big families, there was a certain balance of interests, emotions, and power among the members of the Ye family. This balance was not written on paper, but over the years, everyone played their role.
Ye Lanyuan was the one who set the balance rules.
Ye Ziqiang had always wanted to be the one who maintained this balance, but he was powerless.
Ye Qiao seemed to be proud, but she was actually a loyal follower.
Ye Zixiao ignored the existence of this balance because of his flamboyant personality.
Ye Jin was the one who quietly maintained this balance.
Therefore, more than ten years ago, she persuaded Ye Lanyuan not to swallow his brother's shares, and five years ago, she opposed Ye Zixi's return to the Ye family. Unfortunately, her opinion was never taken by her father. Because of this, she became Ye Lanyuan's least favorite child. Because she was the only one who pointed out the greed of the Ye family's leader and understood his cowardice and guilt in his twilight years.
Because they were close in age, and Ye Ziqiang was a bit of a male chauvinist, he always cherished this quiet and unimportant second sister a little more. Since he was young, Ye Ziqiang had always been his sister's protector in front of others. After he became an adult, Ye Jin was the one who protected him when he encountered storms in his life. She would bail him out when he was in the detention center because of a fight, and she would also stand behind him when he mismanaged his business.
This time was no exception.
That night, when she heard her brother's panicked and fearful cry for help on the phone, Ye Jin was shocked. The first thing she thought of was that the mistake had been made, and what she needed to do was to minimize the damage and impact on the family.
At this time, Ji Bai interrupted and asked, "Why did he have a dispute with Ye Zixi?"
Ye Jin's gaze became calm. "After Zixi came back, father only handed over the half-dead overseas investment department to her. But she is too good, maybe better than any of us, and brings in huge profits every year. So father gave her more and more power. "
After a slight pause, she said, "Last year, her department lost an investment."
Old Wu flipped through the information. "You mean the 100 million USD loss? The partner absconded with the money? "
Ye Jin was silent for a moment and said, "It's not 100 million USD, it's 2 billion USD, 14 billion yuan, and half of the Ye family was lost."
Everyone outside the interrogation room felt a chill in their hearts. Ji Bai and Old Wu did not say anything either, so Ye Jin continued, "We tried our best to hide this matter. Otherwise, the Ye Group's stock price would collapse overnight. Big Brother had always suspected that Zixi was behind this. In fact, compared to when he was young, he was already much more mature. But that night, he said that he drank a little and heard some rumors from the overseas investment department. In a moment of impulse, he followed Zixi to Lin An Mountain. "
And then? Then, as Ji Bai had expected, Ye Ziqiang accidentally killed Ye Zixi while the two of them were arguing. In his panic, he thought of disguising it as the scene of the razor blade case.
Coincidentally, Ye Jin called him because of work matters. Sensing that there was something strange in his tone, she managed to get some clues from him in just a few sentences.
The first thing that came to Ye Jin's mind was to ask her brother to turn on the air conditioner to delay the time of death of the corpse. By the time she arrived at the villa, the whole plan had already formed in her mind.
"Were you the one who sent that message for help?" Old Wu asked.
Ye Jin said faintly, "It's the content that Zixi edited before she died, but she didn't have time to send it. Then, I will set a timer and send it to Zixiao. "
"Why did you choose to send it to Ye Zixiao?" Old Wu asked.
Ye Jin looked up at him. "Because Zixiao went home that day and was in a very bad mood. Based on his personality, he would have fooled around with his friends for the whole night. Even if he was called over, he would have time to be a witness and wouldn't get into trouble. "
Old Wu said coldly, "You really can predict everything."
Ye Jin remained silent.
Then, Ji Bai asked, "Did you know about the affair between the deceased and Zhang Shiyong?"
Ye Jin replied, "I didn't know about it before. But when I arrived at the villa that night, I found out. After that, Zixiao found out about Zhang Shiyong's clothes, and the whole family knew about it. "
Old Wu said, "Ye Ziqiang killed someone. If you really wanted to help him, you should have persuaded him to turn himself in. But you went against the law for the so-called family's interests and became his accomplice instead. Why did you do that? "
Ye Jin remained silent and did not answer.
In the face of Ye Jin's confession, Ye Qiao finally told the truth with tears streaming down her face.
A few days before the incident, she received accurate information from the private detective and drove to Lin An Mountain that night. When she arrived, she saw the car that resembled her big brother leaving. When she entered the villa, Ye Zixi was already dead.
She stayed in the villa helplessly for a while. When she saw the traces of her husband's life, she was angry and desperate. In the end, she took the phone from the corpse's hand and wanted to frame her husband.
Old Wu asked, "Why did you take the blame for Ye Ziqiang and Ye Jin?"
Ye Qiao answered in a daze, "Big brother did it to stand up for the family. Since my life has been ruined anyway, I might as well take the blame."
Ji Bai said faintly, "Life is not so easily ruined."
When the truth came to light, everyone in the criminal police unit breathed a sigh of relief. However, this case made everyone's heart heavy. Everyone was busy closing the case and collecting evidence in silence.
Ji Bai walked back to the office and saw Xu Xu sitting in her seat in a daze.
"What's wrong?" He asked in a low voice.
Xu Xu answered, "I'm thinking about who Zixi wanted to send the text message to before she died."
Ji Bai reached out and ruffled her short hair, then threw a pile of documents to her. "Hurry up and get to work."
"Oh." Xu Xu froze slightly. She was sensitive to the subtle physical contact between the two of them … She ignored him, ignored him.
At this time, Zhao Han appeared at the door. "Boss, I brought Ye Ziqiang back."
Ye Ziqiang represented the Ye Group yesterday and attended a meeting in the province. The criminal police responsible for monitoring him had been following him and did not alert the enemy. This morning, his car was stopped by the police as soon as it entered the city.
Because there was still further investigation and evidence, the police only said that it was a routine conversation and that he would assist in the investigation. Although Ye Ziqiang was a little uneasy, he felt that it should be fine, so he calmly stepped into the police station.
Outside the interrogation room was a long and narrow passage. There was no direct light, it was cool and silent. Ye Ziqiang followed the police in and saw the door of the interrogation room in front open. Ye Jin walked out with her wrists cuffed and two police officers behind her.
Ye Jin looked up and saw Ye Ziqiang. She called out softly, "Brother." Her eyes were gentle and comforting.
Ye Ziqiang felt as if all the blood in his body had rushed to the top of his head and his temples were burning. What else did he not understand? He looked at his sister in a daze, the muscles on his face were pale and tense.
At this time, Ji Bai and Xu Xu also walked to the door. Seeing Ye Ziqiang's expression, Ji Bai frowned slightly.
Suddenly, Ye Ziqiang turned around and pushed the police officer beside him. His body was tall and strong, so his sudden outburst caught the bystanders off guard. A few criminal police officers were about to pounce on him to subdue him, but who knew that he would take out a Swiss army knife from his pocket and desperately brandish it, forcing them to be unable to move forward for a while.
"I killed her, it has nothing to do with my sister!" His tears fell. "Damn it! Go to jail? Go to jail! "
"Brother!" Ye Jin exclaimed.
At this time, Ye Ziqiang suddenly raised the army knife and stabbed it towards his chest. However, when it was half a foot away from his chest, his hand trembled and stopped. He leaned against the wall with an extremely ferocious expression on his face.
Ji Bai was originally standing by the door, but when he saw the right opportunity, he rushed over and grabbed his wrist. Ye Ziqiang was shocked and stabbed back. He was fierce and strong to begin with, so the strength of his struggle was not small. Ji Bai's hand was like an iron clamp and did not move an inch, but the passage was too narrow and there were people behind him, so it was difficult for him to turn his body freely. His forearm was cut by the blade, and blood instantly seeped through his shirt sleeve.
Everyone was shocked. Xu Xu looked at Ji Bai's steely side profile and the dark red bloodstain on his shirt. She felt as if a string in her heart was slightly trembling.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Bai had already pinned Ye Ziqiang's hands behind his back. His tall body struggled like a wild bull, but he was firmly pressed against the wall by Ji Bai. The criminal police officers rushed forward and subdued him.
Soon, the colleague in charge of the investigation and evidence collection sent news that Ye Zixi's blood was found in Ye Ziqiang's car, and the search for other murder weapons was also in progress. As for the detained Ye Ziqiang, after he calmed down, he also confessed to his crimes.
It was already lunch break, so Ji Bai told everyone to go eat first. He sat in his office and threw a hemostatic cotton ball into the trash can. Although the bloodstain was ferocious, the wound was not deep, so he did not care too much.
Old Wu sat opposite him and said with a smile, "The dust has finally settled, we can relax for a few days."
Ji Bai smiled. "Since the case is closed, I'll ask the station chief to give me three days off. You can also accompany sister-in-law to visit her son. "Old Wu's son was studying at a university in another city.
Old Wu nodded. "That's great, she kept telling me."
At this moment, Zhao Han walked in with a first-aid kit. "Captain, I'll treat your wound."
Since the case was closed, Ji Bai was in a good mood. He glanced at Xu Xu, who was still busy in the big house and did not go to eat, then said to Zhao Han, "The report you have is urgent, get someone else to come."
Zhao Han nodded. "Oh, I'll ask Yao Meng to come in."
Ji Bai paused for a moment, then Old Wu said, "Yao Meng is busy too, ask Xu Xu to come in."
Ji Bai looked at Old Wu, and Old Wu looked back at him.
Ji Bai smiled and did not say anything.
Old Wu and Zhao Han walked out, and Xu Xu quickly walked in. Her eyes first fell on Ji Bai's hand. "Master, is your hand okay?"
Ji Bai leaned back comfortably in his chair and extended his arm to her. "What do you think?"
Xu Xu carefully held his hand, then used an alcohol cotton ball to gently wipe away the blood around the wound. "It's fine. But it's best if you get a tetanus shot later. "
"Okay."
Xu Xu was focused on treating the wound, so naturally, she noticed that Ji Bai's hand was different from the other men's hands she had seen before. Of course, she had never looked at a man's hand so carefully unless it was necessary for a case.
There was no doubt that his arm was much thicker than hers. However, it did not look muscular, instead, it was very strong and slender, and it looked very powerful. The skin on the back of his hand and arm was slightly darker, but his palm was very fair. This meant that his skin was originally fairer than it was now, but because he became a criminal police officer, he was exposed to the sun and wind, and that was why he had a light tan now. In addition to the new wound, there was also an old scar on the back of his hand and arm. As he had been holding a gun for a long time, the calluses on his thumb and forefinger were also very thick. This made his hands look much coarser than his handsome face.
'Good hand.' Xu Xu thought to herself.
Xu Xu was still in a daze, but Ji Bai was a little dazed.
The afternoon light and shadow intertwined, and the room was hot and quiet. He stretched his long body comfortably while Xu Xu stood quietly by his side obediently. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that her features were delicate and delicate, and her skin was as thin as jade, revealing a hazy redness. Her slender and fair fingers were pinching his wrist, and it felt cold and soft. Even the slightly numb and painful wound felt just right, and it was quite comfortable.
Ji Bai took out his phone and started recording.
Xu Xu noticed it and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ji Bai looked at her slightly furrowed eyebrows on the screen and replied faintly, "Watching the news. International news. "
