Chapter 30: Identity — What name did she sign with?

♕

Li Xin Ran had the urge to cry. Out of his entire career, this was absolutely the case with the most twists and turns; nothing could rival it.

Zuo Yi stared at Ye Kang Ping for a moment before saying with sincerity and earnest, "Mr. Ye, weaving an excuse like this to shed off a crime is not very pragmatic. "

"I'm really not lying! When we got there, she really was already dead!" Ye Kang Ping was anxious. This was exactly why he kept refusing to speak earlier, because he knew that if he spoke, there was a high possibility of him being painted as the murderer. "That night, we originally intended to meet up with Ye Zhen Zhen as planned, but just as we reached the hall, we saw her lying on the floor in a pool of blood. At that time, we were really frightened. I went up to see if she was breathing—she wasn't. "

Zuo Yi wrinkled his brows. His intuition told him that Ye Kang Ping was being truthful. "Carefully explain the situation at that time; was there anyone else?"

Ye Kang Ping pursed his lips and recalled, "Back then, we were too shocked, so we did not notice if anyone was upstairs or not. At that time, however, Ye Zhen Zhen was gripping a knife tightly. "

Li Xin Ran paused in the middle of notetaking.  Holy shit, could Ye Zhen Zhen have killed Ye Hong Sheng only to lose her life by falling down the stairs?!

This case nearly caused him to collapse.

Zuo Yi raised his brow and asked, "What happened to the knife?" This murder weapon, they had not been able to find it up until now.

Ye Kang Ping hung his head. "It disappeared. "

"Disappeared?" Zuo Yi repeated, a faint laugh echoing in his voice.

Ye Kang Ping immediately became aggrieved. He knew—he knew that if he said it like this, they would definitely not believe him! But that knife...truly had disappeared!

"After we found Ye Zhen Zhen's dead body, we went upstairs to my father's room and discovered...that he had already been murdered. I was very confused at that time, and Qian Qian had quickly burst into tears from stress. Then suddenly, we heard a shriek from the drawing room. We ran down to take a look and realized that the girl who looked identical to Ye Zhen Zhen had fainted beside Ye Zhen Zhen's corpse. Originally, we had her wait in the car; we don't know why she secretly followed us in. The situation at that time was too complex. I did not have time to think it over; thus, I decided to execute the plan to the best of my ability. We carried Ye Zhen Zhen's corpse out and buried it on the hill. After that, I suddenly realized that we left the murder weapon at the crime scene. I was scared Ye Zhen Zhen had killed my father. If this was revealed in the investigation, the fake Ye Zhen Zhen would not be able to inherit the estate. So, I raced back, but...the murder weapon had already disappeared. "

Zuo Yi's brows furrowed tightly. If everything Ye Kang Ping said was true, then there were two possibilities—the first was that the murderer was still at the location then and took advantage of their departure to take away the murder weapon; the second was that a third party discovered the crime scene when they left and took the murder weapon. There were still very many aspects of the case that were unexplained or illogical.

He raised his head to glance at Ye Kang Ping and asked, "After you buried the body, did the fake Ye Zhen Zhen wake up?"

Ye Kang Ping shook his head. "No. Although the murder weapon had disappeared, we had no time to look for it. We cleaned up the bloodstains in the drawing room, and then...carried the fake Ye Zhen Zhen up the stairs before pushing her down. "
