Chapter 81 The Sister in the True and False Jin Wen (22)
Back at the villa, as soon as Le Yan got out of the car, she saw Zhao Weizhou sitting pitifully at the door.
Just like when he sat dejectedly on the stairs before, his eyes lit up when he saw Leyan return, but then quickly dimmed again.
"elder sister ... ... "
Zhao Weizhou called out weakly, looking up at her with a mixture of anticipation and fear, cautiously.
Le Yan stared at him for a moment before sitting down next to him and asking in a deep voice, "What exactly happened just now?"
When questioned, Zhao Weizhou's eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice, "Sister, I didn't push her, do you believe me?"
Le Yan listened quietly without saying a word.
Zhao Weizhou lowered his eyes and gave a bitter smile. "Sister doesn't believe me, does she? I've already lied to you before, and now it's the younger sister you care about who's in trouble. How can I compare to her?"
Hearing this, Le Yan's heart stirred. She turned her head to look at him and saw that he was looking down, tears falling one by one, trying hard not to cry out.
Le Yan immediately gripped the hem of her dress, feeling extremely troubled.
She twitched her fingers before lifting them and placing them on Zhao Weizhou's shoulder. Softening her voice, she said, "I don't distrust you; I just want to know what happened between you and Ruoruo."
"You say you didn't push Ruoruo, then can you tell me how Ruoruo fell down?"
Feeling the warmth from her shoulder, Zhao Weizhou concealed the smile in his eyes, looked up at Le Yan with a wronged expression, and said with pursed lips, "Sister, I don't know why she fell downstairs. I just wanted to go downstairs to find you and ask her to move aside, and that's when she fell."
With his well-defined fingers gripping Le Yan's sleeve tightly, the tips turning slightly white from the force, Zhao Weizhou said, enunciating each word clearly, "Sister, if you don't believe me, you can ask other people."
"Or, we can go to the hospital and I can confront Zhao Qingruo. One of us is lying!"
Le Yan looked down at Zhao Weizhou's hand and clearly felt that he was trembling slightly. Seeing his expression, she had already made up her mind.
She placed her hand on Zhao Weizhou and patted him gently a few times, as if to comfort him. "Okay, I understand. I'll ask Ruoruo when she wakes up."
With Zhao Weizhou's words, "Ask someone else," echoing in her ears, Le Yan seemed lost in thought.
She remembered that there was probably another person on the second or third floor at the time.
Le Yan patted Zhao Weizhou on the shoulder, pulled him into the house, poured him a cup of hot water, and then went upstairs under the pretext of getting something.
Zhao Weizhou watched her retreating figure, the steam from the hot water rising hazily, obscuring the slight smugness on his face.
Le Yan went straight up to the third floor and stood outside Zhao Mufeng's room. She paused for a moment before raising her hand to knock on the door.
"buckle"
Two light knocks, and the door was quickly opened.
Seeing Le Yan standing at the door, Zhao Mufeng's eyes lit up with joy, and he was so excited that he was almost at a loss for words. "Sister, sister, are you willing to talk to me? You... I..."
Even his speech became stammering and incoherent, which showed just how happy he was.
Seeing him like this, Le Yan didn't know how to bring up the important matter at first.
She paused for a moment, then smiled, pointed into the room, and said with a smile, "Xiao Feng, may I come in?"
"Okay! Sister, come in quickly!"
Unexpectedly, her sister was willing to step into her room. Zhao Mufeng was overjoyed and quickly stepped aside, looking at Le Yan with bright eyes, "Sister, come in quickly and sit wherever you like."
After finding a chair to sit down, Le Yan coughed lightly, just about to ask him about Zhao Qingruo falling down the stairs, when she caught a glimpse of a video camera on the table.
She suddenly remembered that Zhao Mufeng had a habit of always carrying a video camera to film things.
Sometimes, he would place the camera in some small corners of his home, saying he wanted to film small details of daily life.
Thinking of this, Le Yan quickly looked at Zhao Mufeng, "Xiao Feng, can I see your camera?"
Her eagerness caused Zhao Mufeng's upturned lips to flatten slightly.
She spoke somewhat coldly, "Sister, you're not actually ignoring me, you're asking me if I saw what happened when Zhao Qingruo fell down the stairs, right?"
Having her purpose exposed, Le Yan felt a little embarrassed. Her eyes darted around for a moment before she spoke, though her tone was neither entirely justified nor defiant: "Then will you tell me the answer or not?"
Regardless of her purpose, the result is that she came to him. Doesn't that count as acknowledging him?
Zhao Mufeng was silent for a moment before pointing to the camera on the table and saying, "I didn't see it, but it should have captured it."
He said, "I had left it in the corner of the second-floor hallway, and I just brought it back."
Le Yan quickly picked up the camera and, after some maneuvering, saw the footage being filmed.
Zhao Mufeng quietly moved closer, almost touching Le Yan, and watched the footage captured by the camera with her.
In the video, Zhao Qingruo and Zhao Weizhou were seen arguing for a few minutes. Zhao Weizhou then took a few steps forward and got very close to Zhao Qingruo. You could see that they said something to each other, but the distance was too far to record the sound.
It's unclear what exactly was said, but after Zhao Weizhou turned around and glanced at Chen Xi, who was in the same direction as the camera, he sneered and started to walk downstairs. But the next second, Zhao Qingruo fell down.
The video content doesn't clearly show whether Zhao Weizhou pushed it or not, nor can it determine whether he or Chen Xi is lying.
Especially Chen Xi, who was in the same direction as the camera, could see almost exactly what the camera recorded. In addition, since she was there, she knew about the argument between the two and believed that Zhao Weizhou pushed Zhao Qingruo, which was perfectly reasonable.
Le Yan narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
This is a bit tricky. I thought we had evidence, but it turns out the evidence is flawed.
Now things are really messed up. Zhao Weizhou and Chen Xi are giving conflicting accounts, and the video is unclear. How to resolve this matter and who to believe are all big problems.
Le Yan felt dizzy and lightheaded. As she thought about it, it suddenly dawned on her: this whole thing was just making things difficult for her!
"Sister, you can go ask the person involved."
"You said I have evidence, so why don't I test them and see who's guilty?"
As a thoughtful younger brother, Zhao Mufeng offered a solution: he hooked one arm around Le Yan's clothes, and despite his tall stature, he looked like a skinny little dog when he squatted down next to her.
Whenever Le Yan looked down at him, he would immediately offer a charming and ingratiating smile.
"you're right."
Le Yan nodded in agreement with Zhao Mufeng's suggestion, believing it to be a good idea.
She still had a headache about how to handle the matter in the end.
After all, she has a younger brother and a younger sister. If Zhao Weizhou really pushed her, does she want to send him to jail?
If he didn't push it, then...
"Sister, I heard from Xiaoxi that Brother Weizhou pushed me downstairs, but that's not true. I was dizzy and couldn't stand steadily, so I fell down by myself. It has nothing to do with Brother Weizhou."
