Ye Kexin was almost frightened by the sound and jumped up!
She turned around hurriedly, grabbed the phone, and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen.
She quickly adjusted her mood and then pretended nothing had happened and picked up the phone.
Then he heard, "Ms. Ye? Hello, this is the National Security Bureau. We would like to confirm some details about what happened last night."
"Okay, you say..."
When Ye Kexin heard that it was the police, she immediately softened her tone and acted as if she was still a little scared about the matter.
Then the other party was heard asking, "We saw from the surveillance footage that you and a man passed by the surveillance camera leading to the rooftop last night. May I ask, did you two go to the rooftop? If so, what did you do there?"
When Ye Kexin heard this, her heart skipped a beat and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes.
Was photographed?
She had clearly confirmed...that there was no surveillance nearby!
I didn’t expect that I could take pictures in other places!
But they probably didn't find any strong evidence. Since they didn't ask, she must have been more than the only one who passed under the camera!
Ye Kexin thought about it quickly and instantly felt much more confident.
"Ms. Ye?"
The police's questioning voice came from the other end of the phone again.
Hearing that she didn't say anything, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Ye Kexin came back to her senses instantly, and hurriedly pretended to be reluctant and said cautiously, "Mr. Policeman, if I tell you, you won't tell anyone else, right?"
"Don't worry about that."
The policeman answered hurriedly.
A dark light flashed in Ye Kexin's eyes, and then she sighed.
"Ah... Actually, I had some emotional issues with that gentleman, so we went to the rooftop to talk yesterday, and we had some unpleasant arguments..."
"You didn't see the deceased during this time?"
The police asked again.
"No, we argued and then left separately... If you don't believe me, you can go and confirm with him."
Ye Kexin deliberately made her tone sound a little sad, as if she was still immersed in yesterday's emotions.
The police officer didn't ask any more questions and simply said, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
Ye Kexin put down her phone and confirmed that the call had been hung up. Only then did she suddenly relax, but she didn't dare to relax mentally.
It's just that an old woman died...
The police should just be conducting routine inquiries, right?
There was no indicative evidence, and they had no way to subpoena them directly. After all, there were so many people at the cocktail party last night, and they were all people of status. It would not benefit anyone if a big fuss was made!
The case will definitely be closed soon!
Ye Kexin was frantically comforting herself in her heart.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the phone ringing again!
She was startled and a look of displeasure flashed across her face.
Will it ever end?
Didn’t she just say that?
Ye Kexin picked up the phone again in annoyance.
Then he saw the name displayed above and his eyes lit up immediately.
It’s Brother Jingchen!
The unhappy look instantly turned into joy, and Ye Kexin almost immediately picked up the phone.
Before he could say anything, he heard Gu Jingchen on the other end of the phone say straight to the point, "Xin'er, I have something to ask you."
"Um?"
Ye Kexin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was going to ask.
Then I heard——
"What did you do after we separated last night?"
Ye Kexin's expression suddenly changed when she heard that, and her fingertips holding the phone tightened slightly.
He called just to ask this?
Is he doubting her?
Ye Kexin's heartbeat suddenly started to race, even more nervous than when she received the call from the police just now.
But it only took a few seconds and he calmed down immediately.
"Brother Jingchen, you...what do you mean by asking me this? Do you doubt me?"
She deliberately sobbed softly, her words full of disbelief.
Gu Jingchen didn't expect that she would start crying after hearing his words, so he could only say helplessly, "I'm just asking..."
"What else can I do!"
Ye Kexin interrupted him excitedly.
"Do you think I should wait for you here after you leave? Can't I just go drink alone? I'm scared too because a murder happened... I don't even know who died, how could you suspect me? What did I do wrong to deserve this?"
Gu Jingchen was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly he was speechless.
That’s right…
Last night on the rooftop, the police only described Tong's mother's clothing.
Apart from him and An An, no one knew who that person was.
Because Xin'er also knew Tong's mother, he would have thought that she knew...
But normally, she would not know who the dead person was!
So, it shouldn't be her.
Maybe... it really was just an unacceptable accident.
A while——
"Sorry, just pretend I never asked."
Gu Jingchen said this and hung up the phone.
Ye Kexin's face turned cold in an instant when she heard the busy tone, and she felt even more panicked than before.
No……
wrong.
Why did Gu Jingchen call?
Could it be that she missed some details yesterday and the police already suspected her but just didn't say it out loud?
Or did Gu Jingchen or Su An discover something?
Ye Kexin frowned, carefully recalling everything that happened in the chaos yesterday.
First, she wore gloves yesterday and wouldn't leave any fingerprints on the old woman.
Secondly, there is no surveillance there, so there is no possibility of being photographed.
besides……
She was quick enough yesterday.
It only took a few minutes from the time Gu Jingchen left to the time he dealt with the old woman.
Whenever asked, she would say that they had a quarrel and she cried for a while out of sadness, which was understandable.
As long as there is no conclusive evidence, no one can do anything to her!
Ye Kexin thought about it, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, and her left hand subconsciously touched the middle finger of her right hand.
The next second——
Her expression suddenly froze.
It was as if the whole person was fixed to the bed, and the soul was suddenly sucked away.
After a while, she suddenly lowered her head to check her hands.
But I saw that the finger that always wore a ring was now empty!
"Where's the ring..."
Ye Kexin murmured softly.
Then he suddenly jumped up from the bed as if he had gone crazy!
Then he quickly checked the quilt and pillows, and threw them directly on the ground, not even leaving the gap between the sheets and the foot of the bed!
But nothing was found.
"No……"
“How could there not be…”
She stood there in a daze, her mind blank.
Then, she rushed directly to her dressing table and poured all the jewels in the jewelry box onto the table!
Maybe she remembered it wrong!
I didn’t take it out at all yesterday!
While Ye Kexin was thinking, she turned the table over and made a mess.
But still not found.
It was not until she turned the room upside down that she sat down in her chair, forced to believe the truth.
She wore the ring on her hand all day yesterday.
It won't suddenly disappear.
She remembered that when she flushed the gloves down the toilet, the ring was no longer on her hand.
Could it be that it fell on...
