When a Snail Falls in Love Episode 9 Recap
> When a Snail Falls in Love Recap
What makes a young lady from a wealthy family pick up a butcher knife? In the living room bathed in faint orange light, Ye Zixi and Ye Qiao sat opposite each other. " You should leave Shiyong." Ye Qiao straightened her back. " I can't do that." Ye Zixi lowered her head, softly but firmly. A drama unfolded between the original wife's cousin and the mistress cousin fighting over a man. Ye Qiao scoffed.
She surveyed Ye Zixi's villa; everywhere was the scent of her man. Ye Qiao's gaze gradually turned cold. From childhood to adulthood, Ye Qiao had lived in the shadow of Ye Zixi's halo. She vied for her father's affection, for the top spot in grades, for her older sister's husband, and in school, for the position of childhood sweetheart by Ji Bai's side.
Ye Qiao raised the sharp knife in her hand, aiming it at Ye Zixi, who was making a late-night snack, watching her go from begging for mercy to struggling, from crying for help to her last breath. Ye Qiao pinned her to the ground like a specimen. This kind of Ye Zixi was truly hideous, so those who loved her, and those she loved, should all come and see her ugly appearance.
So, she took Ye Zixi's phone and sent text messages to Zhang Shiyong and Ji Bai separately. In the interrogation room, Ji Bai's gaze, sharp as a sword, scrutinized Ye Qiao. He frowned, and gradually, his eyes reddened. Ji Bai walked out of the interrogation room and lit a cigarette. Cigarettes were the best artifact for healing. Xu Xu sat next to him on the stone steps, like a kitten. She wanted to help Ji Bai resolve his emotional knot.
As an expert in psychology, she couldn't guess what Ji Bai was thinking at that moment. But as Xu Xu's intuition told her, he was very sad, very pained. Although Ye Qiao's confession and bloodstains extracted from Ye Qiao's car were obtained, Yao Meng was not happy. She learned that Ye Qiao's mother had committed suicide because her husband cheated, and Ye Qiao became a murderer because her husband cheated. Yao Meng felt some sympathy for Ye Qiao.
Zhao Han comforted her, saying that even with sympathy, police must strictly enforce the law. The police began searching Ye Qiao's office and residence, finding copies of the divorce agreement and share transfer deeds in the safe. Ye Qiao likely knew about Ye Zixi's conspiracy with Zhang Shiyong to empty out the Ye family group. In case of an accident, all of Ye Qiao's shares would be transferred to her elder brother Ye Ziqiang.
It seemed she had prepared for the aftermath long ago. Everyone felt much relieved by the case's resolution, but only Ji Bai and Xu Xu remained very heavy-hearted. Xu Xu recalled Zhang Shiyong's testimony; he had heard the microwave "ding" when he first entered the villa. Xu Xu also remembered Ye Qiao's testimony; that night when she entered the villa, Ye Zixi had the air conditioner on, and it was very cold inside.
Ye Qiao's words about how she killed Ye Zixi were vague. In the middle of the night, Xu Xu came alone to the villa where Ye Zixi was murdered. She turned on her flashlight, put on shoe covers, tiptoed to open the door, and scanned everything inside the room. Ye Zixi's body had already been removed.
After circling the room, she came to the spot where Ye Zixi was murdered, slowly lay down in the position of the body, and tried to experience what the victim had gone through at that moment. Meanwhile, Yao Meng recalled Ye Qiao's necklace and felt something was amiss. She went to the police station to review the surveillance footage again, and seemed to have made a surprising discovery, quickly calling Zhao Han. A storm was about to be stirred up on what was thought to be a calm night.
