Chapter 4: Statement — They all don't have proof that they weren't at the scene.

♕

On March 13th at 9:03PM, A City XX District's police department received an emergency call.

The man who had made the report was Ye Kang Ping. His father, Ye Hong Sheng, had died in his room, and he had also found his niece, Ye Zhen Zhen, lying unconscious in the living room of the first floor.

The police had hurried to the scene. At the top of the flight of stairs, they had discovered a small bloodstain. Meanwhile, the unconscious Ye Zhen Zhen had already been delivered to A City Center Hospital. The deceased Ye Hong Sheng was found in his room on the second floor. The culprit had used a sharp weapon to stab Ye Hong Sheng twice in the chest, killing him.

That day, Zuo Yi originally wasn't on shift, but he still ended up being summoned on his phone to take over. The police had immediately cordoned off the scene. Apart from the medical personnel that had arrived to rescue and give medical treatment to Ye Zhen Zhen, there were only four people within the Ye Family's mansion.

There was the victim's second son, Ye Kang Ping, his wife Sun Qian, the nursemaid Zhou, and the gardener Wang Er Gou.

According to the forensic investigator's preliminary evaluation, the victim's time of death had roughly been around 7:09PM, and the cause of death had been the stab wounds to his chest by a sharp weapon. The police, however, hadn't able to find this sharp weapon.

Zuo Yi had found out all he could about this situation before he had begun questioning witnesses for their statements.

First on the list had been the one who had sounded the alarm, Ye Kang Ping.

"Around 7:09PM, where were you, and what were you doing?"

Sun Qian's complexion had been pale. She had glanced at Ye Kang Ping but didn't say a word. Ye Kang Ping coughed, and with a voice that had fluctuated slightly, he had said, "We, we were outside watching a movie. When we finished watching the movie, we didn't feel at ease with our father at home alone, so we came back to take a look. We didn't expect..."

Zuo Yi had knitted his brows. "You left the deceased alone from the very beginning, so how come you suddenly felt uncomfortable with him home alone?"

Ye Kang Ping had coughed once again. "You, you might not know, but today is the anniversary of my mother's death. Every day, father will urge everyone to go out on this day and stay at home alone. "

Zuo Yi's brows had knitted even closer. "Then why were nursemaid Zhou and gardener Wang Er Gou still here?"

"This, this you will need to ask them. "

Zuo Yi had glanced at him and changed his question. "What movie did you two watch?"

"Ghost, Ghost School, the one that Emperor Mo stars in. My wife is a fan of his. "

Beside Zuo Yi, Li Xin Ran's eyes had brightened and he had nearly whistled. "I didn't expect a wealthy family's missus to also chase after stars~!"

Zuo Yi's gaze had swept over him, and Li Xin Ran had immediately wilted. "Hehe, you know, my girlfriend is also a fan of his. " Emperor Mo Zhen was simply the public enemy of the male species.

Zuo Yi had turned his head and continued to question Ye Kang Ping. "What time did the movie end?"

"Eight, eight and a half or so. We drove straight from the cinema. "

"Do you have the ticket stub?"

"Yi, no, I don't. "

His shifting tones of voice had made Zuo Yi's brows raise slightly. "Is your throat unwell?"
