When a Snail Falls in Love Episode 10 Recap
> When a Snail Falls in Love Recap
On the silent floor late at night, without even a sliver of moonlight, where Ye Zixi's body once lay. Now, Xu Xu lay there, her eyes closed, feeling and imagining how the murderer, filled with hatred, approached Ye Zixi step by step. Xu Xu's heart pounded. Suddenly, she heard a sound upstairs! She quickly turned over and got up, a dark muzzle from upstairs was aimed at her. She let out a sigh of relief; it was Ji Bai.
Facing Xu Xu's boldness, Ji Bai reprimanded her recklessness, but his eyes revealed undeniable concern. Indeed, a delicate and frail girl like Xu Xu, running to a crime scene in the middle of the night, would inevitably cause worry. Ji Bai and Xu Xu both believed that Ye Qiao was not the murderer of Ye Zixi.
With Ye Qiao's physique as a young lady, how could she stab Ye Zixi multiple times, throw her down the patio, and remain unharmed herself? She must be taking the blame for someone else. However, solving a case cannot rely on intuition; there must be evidence. Xu Xu recalled that Zhang Shiyong had mentioned hearing a microwave oven "ding" when he entered, but Ye Zixi had prepared salmon and salad that evening, which did not require heating.
Therefore, what Zhang Shiyong heard was not the microwave sound, but the notification sound of a successful text message delivery. This indicates that the murderer used software, setting up timed text messages and automatically erasing traces afterwards. Xu Xu also remembered that Ye Qiao said in her testimony that the villa was very cold that night because the air conditioning was on, but it was spring, so logically the heating should have been on, how could it be cold?
Suspicious injections were also found in the refrigerator. Were they all to delay the time of death of the body? After long deliberation, Ji Bai and Xu Xu each wrote down the name of the true murderer. As if by telepathy, the person they both wrote down was the same. Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door. Ji Bai quickly loaded his gun, aiming at the uninvited guest outside the door.
Outside were Ye Lanyuan and his old subordinate, Zhishan; they had come to bid farewell and mourn Ye Zixi. According to Ye Lanyuan, he had reached an agreement with Ye Zixi, Ye Ziqiang, and Ye Qiao. Ye Zixi would use the money she secretly embezzled to fill the financial hole in the Ye family, and Ye Lanyuan would give Ye Zixi ten percent of the shares.
It seems that the overt and covert struggles for interests can inevitably cloud people's judgment. A person previously overlooked by the police slowly surfaced. Ye Ziqiang was brought to the police station for questioning. He saw his father Ye Lanyuan at the police station, mistakenly thinking the police had identified Ye Lanyuan as the true murderer. In his panic, he actually pulled out a sharp dagger he carried with him and charged wildly.
Ye Ziqiang was tall and strong, and had a sharp weapon in hand. To protect Xu Xu, Ji Bai took a solid stab from Ye Ziqiang. Fortunately, the police swarmed him and held Ye Ziqiang down firmly. Ye Ziqiang shouted, "Why are you arresting my dad? I killed the person, it has nothing to do with him!" Ye Lanyuan and Ye Qiao, who had just walked out of the interrogation room, upon hearing this, immediately turned ashen.
Xu Xu gently and carefully disinfected Ji Bai's wound. Ji Bai looked at her well-behaved appearance and was moved. Xu Xu reasoned that on the night of the incident, only Ye Ziqiang had no alibi. According to him, he was eating with Zhang Shiyong that night. So it's very likely that Zhang Shiyong deliberately instigated discord between Ye Zixi and the Ye family, and then revealed Ye Zixi's villa address.
Ye Ziqiang already had a tendency for violent assault, so it's imaginable what he, filled with rage, would do to Ye Zixi. Although it's still just speculation, this strategy of using someone else to commit murder can be described as flawless. However, we also have a saying, which is, good and evil eventually receive their retribution.
