When a Snail Falls in Love Episode 7 Recap
> When a Snail Falls in Love Recap
In the lush Lin'an Mountain, as a cheerful and melodious phone ringtone sounded, a discarded mobile phone came into view. The screen showed a missed call from "Third Brother". However, chillingly, Ye Zixi, the phone's owner, might never be able to answer a call again. A tired Ji Bai felt an ominous premonition arise in his heart, and anxiously drove to Ye Zixi's residence. But it was already too late.
In a villa on Lin'an Mountain's Yuema Road, Ye Zixi's disheveled, blood-soaked body lay sprawled on a blanket, covered by a white trench coat. Special knives manufactured by the Ye Corporation were embedded in her limbs and chest, a horrific sight. Receiving Ji Bai's order at the training ground, Xu Xu, who rushed there, listened as Ji Bai analyzed the crime scene, weapon characteristics, and modus operandi. She recorded the case file with mixed feelings.
Ji Bai gazed at the pipe he had traveled far and wide to find for Ye Zixi not long ago, unwilling to accept that things had changed so drastically today. He remembered Ye Zixi's plea for help message, her every frown and smile, and her once meaningful confession. She had been his most beloved younger sister, and grief welled up inside him. Xu Xu could see his suppressed sorrow, and she extended her arms to embrace and comfort him.
Ji Bai politely declined Xu Xu's kindness. He decided to personally catch the killer and avenge Ye Zixi. Based on the intact doors and windows, Xu Xu deduced that the perpetrator was familiar with the victim, and that there were complex emotions between them. She firmly believed her inference regarding the Zhang Shiyong kidnapping case: Ye Zixi's lover was Zhang Shiyong, and the villa was where they met secretly.
In the police station's interrogation room, Yao Meng was sternly interrogating Guan Nan, who had just been arrested for trafficking women and children. Zhao Han appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him from the side. Guan Nan finally relented, revealing that his superior, Lu Ge, was burly and ruthless, and she recently had a batch of "goods" to be traded at the Home and Labor Market.
At the Ye Corporation's board meeting, the situation took a sharp downturn, and stock prices plummeted. As they were frowning with worry, the arrival of the police added more troubles for them. According to the testimonies of Zhang Shiyong, Ye Qiao, and Ye Lanyuan, they had known Ye Zixi since her humble beginnings, but on the night of the incident, they were all busy with their own affairs, and were unaware of Ye Zixi's enemies.
Xu Xu was eating with her colleagues, quietly listening to everyone's opinions on the Ye Zixi case: "The grudges of a wealthy heiress." Xu Xu sipped her soup slowly, and was teased by a ravenously eating Ji Bai, who said she ate like a snail. In the interrogation room where Yang Yu was held, Ji Bai calmly told Yang Yu the news of Ye Zixi's death. Yang Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
He looked at the photos of Ye Zixi's body, regretted not having killed Zhang Shiyong earlier, and, shedding tears, directly accused Zhang Shiyong of being the murderer. Xu Xu quietly sat in the gymnasium, watching Ji Bai play basketball. But what appeared in Ji Bai's mind were the past images and smiles of Ye Zixi.
As if to alleviate his sorrow, he invited Zhao Han and Yao Meng to play basketball with him, and only then did a faint smile appear on his sweat-soaked face. At the Ye family banquet, Ye Lanyuan mourned Ye Lanqing and Ye Zixi. Recalling those years, his elder brother was murdered, leaving behind only Ye Zixi, his precious daughter.
He had intended to protect his brother's only flesh and blood, but who knew she would also suffer such an unfortunate end. No one had the appetite to eat. Ye Qiao was very displeased with her father's loving remembrance of Ye Zixi, and impulsively left the table despite Zhang Shiyong's attempts to stop her, which greatly displeased Ye Lanyuan. The family banquet ended unhappily. The cold case was shrouded in mist, and conspiracies were being plotted by human hearts, it was unknown when the truth would come to light.
