Meijia sat on the sofa anxiously twisting her hands, waiting impatiently. The meal had long gone cold, and she didn't feel like taking a shower. The police officer had come specially, what on earth had happened? She thought to herself uneasily.
At a little past nine, she finally heard the sound of the door opening.
"How did it go?" Meijia rushed to the front of Zhiye, eagerly asking.
Zhiye did not answer.
He changed his shoes, entered the house, picked up the wine bottle on the dining table, poured a glass full, and then drank it all in one gulp. As a result, he choked and started coughing.
"Meijia, let's go on a trip somewhere," he suddenly spoke after a while.
"Sure enough, something has happened," Meijia murmured in despair.
"It's not because of this, I just suddenly want to relax. How about leaving tomorrow?"
"You have to tell me what happened first!"
"It really isn't a big deal."
"If you don't tell me, I won't go!" Meijia pouted and crossed her arms, sitting down on the sofa.
"It's really nothing, just work-related matters," Zhiye quickly thought of an excuse, "I was framed, the police just came to inquire. Someone complained that my company is engaging in illegal production."
"But... you didn't do it, did you?" Innocent Meijia completely believed what he said, her voice much lighter than before.
"It's not that simple. It seems the other party has also fabricated evidence, so maybe I will be arrested by the police." Meijia covered her mouth in shock, her face turning pale.
"But it's okay, I will find a way to solve it." Zhiye hugged Meijia and gently stroked her back, saying softly, "But it will take some time, so let's escape to somewhere else first. Don't we have a villa in Paris? Let's stay there for a while."
"But, can't we ask Dad to help?"
"It's best not to trouble Uncle with this matter. Otherwise, he might also get implicated."
Meijia leaned quietly against Zhiye's chest and didn't speak again.
"Let's start packing our luggage now." After saying that, the Zhiye headed to the room first, with Meijia silently following behind him. The next morning, they set off. The Zhiye opened the door and tried to move the luggage to the trunk of the car. Suddenly, he saw someone standing outside the iron gate.
It's those two police officers again, Lu Run and Yeh Tung-Chien!
"Mr. Han, going on a trip?" Lu Run asked with a smile.
"What's the matter this time?" the Zhiye asked nervously, looking back to see if Meijia had come out, and lowering his voice.
"It's still about yesterday's matter. After thinking it over, I still feel that this is not simply a robber murder case."
Zhiye impatiently furrowed his brow, "Let's talk at the coffee shop we went to yesterday."
The police officers had no objections.
Zhiye walked into the house and briefly spoke to Meijia, then went to the coffee shop with two police officers, sitting at the same table as the night before. "What other questions do you have?" Zhiye asked. "We find two things strange," said Lu Run, getting straight to the point. "First, why did the killer tie the victim's hands? The answer seems obvious - the killer wanted to force her to reveal where her valuable items were, so he tied her up."
Career He nodded while listening, his movements appearing somewhat restless and anxious.
"But this is very strange, because the victim's home was ransacked by the killer. Since the killer forced the victim to reveal information, the killer should know what valuable items there are and where they are, so why bother searching the house?"
Ah! Zhiye took a sharp breath, his pupils involuntarily dilating several times.
Lü Run stared at Zhiye and continued, "The issue with the safe is the same. It was pried open. If the culprit had interrogated the victim, then the culprit should have known the safe's code. Why would they still need to pry it open?
"Could it be that no matter how the victim was interrogated, she refused to reveal the location of her valuables? This seems unlikely. At that time, the victim was in danger, and she should have prioritized saving her life.
"Furthermore, the victim was from a wealthy family and was not lacking in money. It is even more unlikely that she would risk her life for a small amount of money. This simply doesn't make sense."
"So, we speculate that the murderer is not a robber, but someone the victim knew. After killing the victim, that person deliberately tied the victim's hands to make the scene look like a robbery, and then made a mess inside and pried open the safe."
Zhiye wanted to say something, but his throat was dry, and he couldn't say anything. He unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
He recalled the scene that night. He had tied Shizhi's hands as a precaution, but now he realized it was unnecessary!
"As for the second point - it's this." Lv Run said, handing a meaningful look to Yeh Tung-Chien, who then reached into the pocket of his suit and took out something, placing it on the table. Seeing that thing, the Zhiye's heart was once again struck by a violent shock. It was a small, exquisite black box, and even without opening it, most people could guess what was inside.
"The thing was dropped in the gap between the dead man's bed and the wall. It wasn't found during the first search due to the obstruction of the bed legs, among other reasons. We only found it when we searched again last night. I think you should know what this is," said Lu Run, seeming quite satisfied with Zhiye's reaction. Ye Dongjian opened the lid of the box, and a gorgeous diamond ring appeared in the air, reflecting the light in the shop and emitting a dazzling glow.
This is the ring that Zhiye intended to give to Shizhi on the evening he planned to propose to her. He doesn't remember it at all!
"This is an engagement ring, meant for the deceased. Besides her boyfriend—meaning you—I can't think of anyone else."
"But it's strange, the ring is still in the box and hasn't been taken out, which means you haven't given it to the deceased yet."
"However, it appeared in the home of the deceased, indicating that you had brought it to the deceased's home, intending to give it to her.
"Since you intended to give it to her, if the ring suddenly went missing, you would definitely search everywhere. If the ring had been dropped in that place, it wouldn't be difficult to find if you consciously looked for it.
"But it remained quietly lying there until last night, which indicates that you didn't look for it at all."
"Why didn't you look for it? Could it be that you even forgot something as important as a marriage proposal? That's impossible.
"As long as you still plan to propose to the deceased, you definitely wouldn't forget the ring. Yet, the ring is missing and you didn't go look for it. Why?
"There's only one possibility, which is - something happened at that time that made it unnecessary for you to propose to the deceased anymore."
"Be more direct - you killed Yushizhi at that time! She's already dead, so you naturally don't need to think about proposing anymore, that's why you forgot about the ring. Am I right?"
Lu Run still had a smile on his face, but his gaze at Zhiye was as sharp as a hunting dog's.
"No... it wasn't me! Shizhi There must be someone else besides me, it's that man who killed her!" Zhiye was still making futile struggles before death.
"However, your fingerprints were found on this box. If this was something another man was going to give to the deceased, you wouldn't have touched it at all, right?"
Obviously, continuing to resist was futile. Zhiye leaned back in the chair, his shoulders slumping wearily.
