Chapter 197 Killing the Cuckoo (12)
Chapter 197 Killing the Cuckoo (12)
To please others often leads to your own internal strife.
Gao Li lived his short life in this way.
Having figured this out, Yan Zhen rolled up his sleeves, looked at the scar on his wrist that represented the Gao family, and sighed softly.
However, now that she has taken over this body, the Gao family can forget about being presumptuous in front of her.
After all, her life motto is "It's better to go crazy and exhaust others than to exhaust yourself mentally."
-
Yan Zhen stayed in the hospital for a week before Fang Yi took him home to recuperate.
Fang Yi hired a nanny to take care of Yan Zhen's daily life at home.
During her recuperation, Yan Zhen didn't stay idle. After flipping through several baking books and watching countless video tutorials, she dug out the baking tools that the original owner had used when she worked before and tried to return to her old profession.
During this time, something happened between Fang Yi and Li Tingyi.
After their last argument ended badly, Li Tingyi unilaterally cut off contact with Fang Yihe.
Fang Yi called him every day, but Li Tingyi didn't answer any of them. His WeChat messages went unanswered. When Fang Yi went to see Li Tingyi after get off work, he refused to see her.
Fang Yihe was starting to suspect that Li Tingyi was planning to sever all ties with him and never see him again.
More than half a month passed, and that night, a heavy rain fell in Ningcheng.
Fang Yi, who was off work, received a call from Li Tingyi, asking him to go to the supermarket where the incident occurred, where he would wait for him.
Fang Yi felt resistant as soon as she heard the name of that supermarket, and the reason the two of them had fallen to this point was because of an incident that happened at that supermarket.
What does Li Tingyi want from calling him over now?
Fang Yi was puzzled, so she drove to the supermarket in the heavy rain.
When he appeared with an umbrella, Li Tingyi was standing at the supermarket entrance, completely soaked.
The temperature in Ningcheng has dropped sharply recently, and tonight it's only in the single digits. When Fang Yi saw Li Tingyi, who was soaking wet, she felt a pang of anxiety and rushed over: "What happened to you?"
He put away his umbrella and quickly took off his coat, wrapping it around Li Tingyi.
Li Tingyi did not refuse. His wet hair clung to his forehead, water dripping down his face. His body was covered in filth and emitted a foul odor.
He looked incredibly disheveled, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, staring intently at him.
"I've found the evidence."
Fang Yi was taken aback: "What?"
Li Tingyi took out a black rectangular object wrapped in a transparent plastic bag from his pocket.
The thing was only the size of a thumb, and Fang Yi didn't understand it for a moment: "What is this?"
“The small stun gun, the tool Gao Li used to attack me, I found it there.” He pointed to the drain at the supermarket entrance, covered by a row of storm drain covers. “I pried open the drain covers and searched for four days.”
Fang Yi was stunned. No wonder he was so dirty; he had been searching through the drainage ditch.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Tingyi thought he didn't believe her, so she began to analyze her thoughts: "I've tried many methods during this period of time and I'm sure that I was electrocuted on the day of the incident. The only person who was close to me at the time was Gao Li. Since she wanted to attack me, she must have been carrying a weapon."
“I found the supermarket manager and copied all the surveillance footage from the day of the incident that showed Gao Li. I analyzed it frame by frame from when she entered the supermarket to when she was carried onto the ambulance and left. I think she would have destroyed the tools she used before getting into the ambulance, otherwise it would have been even more difficult to get rid of them if she had taken them to the hospital.”
"I guessed she threw the thing away before getting into the ambulance, so I searched all over the supermarket and finally found it in the sewer."
As Li Tingyi said this, a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes, "This thing is still good. I've tried it, and it feels exactly the same as the electric shock I experienced that day! I'm sure this is Gao Li's murder weapon! As long as we send it to the police station and get Gao Li's fingerprints on it, we can clear my name."
Fang Yi was startled, and her expression became complicated.
If Li Tingyi's analysis is correct, then it proves that Gao Li is lying.
Why did she do this?
Fang Yihe had witnessed how happy she was when she found out she was pregnant, and how carefully she cherished and loved the child since she became pregnant.
He couldn't think of any reason why she would kill her child to frame Li Tingyi.
Could it be true, as Li Tingyi said, that she discovered their relationship?
“I called you here today so you could come with me to the police station to testify,” Li Tingyi said. “I want to tell you with the facts that I’m not lying, and that I’m not the one who killed your child!”
Lost in thought, Fang Yi snapped out of it and looked at Li Tingyi, who was soaking wet and shivering from the cold. He opened his umbrella and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, but before that, you should go back and change your clothes..."
“No need,” Li Tingyi refused his suggestion. “Go to the police station now, immediately! Right now!”
He felt like the protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel who had suffered countless injustices, and that he had finally waited for his chance to turn the tide.
He couldn't wait any longer.
As long as Gao Li's conspiracy can be exposed, what does catching a cold matter?
He couldn't wait to see the woman's crestfallen face and shocked expression after her defeat.
Fang Yi couldn't refuse Li Tingyi, so she had no choice but to take him to the car, turn the air conditioning up to the highest setting, and the two of them went to the police station together.
Fingerprint detection takes time, and after the detection is complete, Gao Li's fingerprints need to be collected for comparison. After registering at the police station, Fang Yi forcefully took Li Tingyi away and sent him back to his home.
Li Tingyi was indeed freezing, and went straight into the bathroom to take a hot shower as soon as she entered the room.
Fang Yihe went to the kitchen to cook ginger soup to warm him up. While waiting for the water to boil, he noticed dozens of stun guns of various sizes on the sofa in the living room, all of which had been opened and used.
He realized something, and his expression immediately changed.
After taking a shower, Li Tingyi finally felt warm again.
He opened the bathroom door and stepped out, only to see Fang Yihe standing at the door, frowning as he looked at him.
Li Tingyi's gloomy mood, which had lasted for more than half a month, finally improved a bit today. He returned to his carefree self, reaching out to pat Fang Yihe's butt: "What, you want it? Let me tell you, I have no intention of doing this kind of thing with you until I'm cleared of all my innocence..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yi suddenly grabbed his arm, rolled up his pajama sleeve, and took a look.
Sure enough, his arms were covered with marks left by the stun gun, large and small, blue and purple, mottled and hideous.
Fang Yi's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but yell at him, "Are you sick?!"
Li Tingyi pulled his arm back and sneered, "Who told you not to believe me and to side with that bitch? I have no choice but to find a way to prove my innocence myself."
Fang Yi was so heartbroken that her breathing became rapid. She hooked her arm around Li Tingyi's waist and pulled him into her arms, holding him tightly.
Noticing Fang Yihe's change in attitude, Li Tingyi, out of Fang Yihe's sight, curled his lips into a confident smile.
After not seeing each other for more than half a month, the hug quickly turned sour, and the two ended up rolling onto the sofa.
In the midst of the intense struggle, Li Tingyi swept the stun gun off the sofa, scattering it all over the floor.
