After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 72 The younger brother kills two girls
The sunlight was bright outside the window, but the lights were off in the room, and the curtains were drawn tightly, letting in no light at all.

Lai Rongtao remained in the shadows, completely enveloped in darkness, his heart filled with deep unease and fear.

Qiu Ailin has been dead for five days, and Dai Ruofei has been dead for three days.

For the past five days, he has stayed at home except for one trip to the 13th floor.

He was terrified after killing two people, and he even had nightmares while sleeping.

He dreamt that he was arrested by the police...

"No, it won't happen." Lai Rongtao patted his wildly beating heart, trying to reassure himself, "No, nothing will happen."

I climbed the stairs to get up there. The security camera on the 13th floor was broken and didn't record me going to the 13th floor.

Moreover, I mopped the floor of the room until it was spotless, leaving not a single hair behind.

Most importantly, Dai Ruofei, who had the evidence, was dead.

No one else knows about this, the police have no way of finding me, so I'm safe now.

Thinking of this, Lai Rongtao's rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and the fear surging in his heart slowly disappeared.

"Xiao Tao." Sister Lai knocked on the door. "Come out for dinner."

Lai Rongtao responded softly, "Understood."

During the meal, Sister Lai asked him, "When are you going to look for a job?"

"Let's talk about it later." Lai Rongtao frowned irritably, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and put the bowl on the table. "I'm full."

As he stood up, the doorbell rang.

"Who's coming?" Sister Lai asked while eating. "Xiao Tao, go and see who it is."

"See for yourself." Lai Rongtao said unhappily, turning and walking back into the room.

Sister Lai sighed, got up and walked to the door.

She opened the door and saw two handsome men and a woman. She asked in surprise, "Who are you looking for?"

"Police." Si Heng and the others showed their identification and said calmly, "Is Lai Rongtao home?"

After checking the documents, Sister Lai asked somewhat nervously, "Officer, what do you need Xiao Tao for?"

"Don't be afraid, I just have a few questions for him to answer." Si Heng's stern expression softened. "It won't take much time."

"I understand. Wait a moment, I'll go call him." Sister Lai walked to Lai Rongtao's room, opened the door, and said, "Xiao Tao, the police are looking for you."

Lai Rongtao's face turned pale instantly, and fear and unease flashed in his eyes.

how come……

I've done everything so perfectly, how could the police still find me?
Seeing that he didn't react, Sister Lai called out again, "Xiao Tao?"

"I...I understand." Lai Rongtao dug his nails into his fingers, trying to keep himself calm.

Everything will be alright, don't scare yourself.

He stepped out of the dark room and met a cold, scrutinizing gaze from the doorway. A chill ran down his spine, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Suppressing his fear, Lai Rongtao approached Si Heng and said shyly, "Officers, hello, I'm Lai Rongtao. What can I do for you?"

Si Heng said calmly, "Hello, Lai Rongtao, do you know Qiu Ailin?"

Lai Rongtao nodded: "I know her. I pursued her before, but she rejected me."

Si Heng: "Are you aware of the news that she fell to her death?"

Lai Rongtao raised his hand and scratched his messy curly hair: "I know, I never thought she would commit suicide."

Si Heng: "When was the last time you went to room 1303?"

Lai Rongtao's eyes instinctively glanced to the upper right: "Last month." Si Heng: "Do you know her roommate, Dai Ruofei?"

Lai Rongtao shook his head: "I know this person, but I don't know him personally."

Si Hengmo raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you sure?"

Lai Rongtao: "Confirmed."

Si Heng: "Dai Ruofei fell from a building in the early morning of February 5th, did you know?"

Lai Rongtao: "I knew someone had fallen from a building, but I didn't know it was her."

"Why are you asking me these questions about my brother?" Lai's sister, listening from the side, looked puzzled. "What does it have to do with my brother?"

Jiang Yuan and Meng Xiaokai glanced at her; her face was filled with unease and worry.

Si Heng's handsome face seemed to be covered with frost in an instant, and his voice was cold and deep: "Through meticulous investigation, the police obtained key clues in room 1303. After analysis and investigation, all signs pointed to Lai Rongtao as the truth behind Ms. Qiu and Ms. Dai's fall. Now we need your cooperation to go to the police station."

"Impossible!" Sister Lai screamed. "Xiao Tao isn't that kind of person!"

“Ms. Lai, please calm down,” Meng Xiaokai said calmly. “Don’t worry, if Lai Rongtao has nothing to do with this matter, he can come back after giving his statement.”

"Really?" Sister Lai frowned.

Jiang Yuan said softly, "Really, the police will not wrong any innocent person."

Sister Lai looked at Lai Rongtao and saw that his face was pale and his fingers were trembling slightly. She thought he was scared and quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Tao. The police officer said that it's just to take a statement. You can go home after that."

Lai Rongtao stared at his sister for a long time, his lips trembling a few times, but in the end he said nothing.

His face was pale, his eyes were red, and he followed Si Heng and the others into the elevator car with stiff, slow steps.

Sister Lai shouted at the closing elevator doors, "I'm making soup at home, you can drink it when you get back."

Jiang Yuan sighed softly in her heart upon seeing this scene.

I wonder how devastated this older sister must have been when she heard that her younger brother had killed two girls.

trial room.

Lai Rongtao sat alone for an hour.

His heart was pounding, and he felt anxious and tormented every second.

What exactly did the police find?
As he was thinking this, the door was opened from the outside.

Si Heng and Xiao Xu sat down in front of him.

Lai Rongtao felt an even stronger sense of fear as he looked at his superior, Heng.

"An hour has passed. Have you thought it through?" Si Heng said calmly.

Lai Rongtao's eyes flickered, and he asked in a low voice, "Think clearly about what? I don't know what you're talking about."

Si Heng glanced at him, his dark eyes sharp as an eagle's. "Never take chances. Evil will never prevail over good. Confessing your guilt is your best option right now."

"What are you talking about?" Lai Rongtao became agitated. "I don't understand a word you're saying."

Si Heng said coldly, "Are you still pretending? Do you think that by taking the emergency exit or by the broken security cameras in the hallway, we won't be able to find evidence of your crime?"

These words sent a jolt through Lai Rongtao's heart. "I...I really don't know what you're talking about..."

“The evidence on Dai Ruofei’s phone has been backed up,” Si Heng said slowly. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Lai Rongtao's pupils contracted sharply, and he murmured excitedly, "How is this possible? This is impossible..."

"The video is on this USB drive." Si Heng took out a silver USB drive from his jacket pocket, his voice steady yet extremely authoritative. "If you confess now and cooperate with the investigation, you can still get a chance to reduce your sentence."
