Yang Suiyi is a total homebody whose favorite pastime is writing novels on various websites. However, she inevitably abandons every single one, earning curses from countless readers while gleefully...
The two arrived at Jingzhong University, each holding a portrait and asking people questions. Suiyi knew a lot of information, so her questions were more targeted.
As a woman carrying a handbag and some file folders walked in through the door, dressed rather maturely, Sui Yi walked over and deliberately bumped into her. The files fell to the ground.
Suiyi quickly said, "Oh! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, are you alright?"
The girl said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then she squatted down to pick up the file folder.
Sui Yi squatted down as well. "Let me help you pick it up." Looking at the information on the file, Sui Yi asked, "Are you a senior in college?"
Girl: "Yes! I'm in the student council. I came back from my internship to help my classmates organize their files."
Do you know Lin Ling?
Without the slightest hesitation, the girl replied, "Yes, I know her. She's my classmate. She's pretty and hardworking. Not only does she have a boyfriend who loves her, but she also has a best friend, Jiang Xue. We single people are so envious!"
"What's her boyfriend's name?"
"His name is Lu Yue, and he's quite handsome. The key thing is that he and Lin Ling are working at the same company after graduation." At this moment, after picking up the files, the two of them stood up together.
Suiyi smiled and said to her, "Thank you!"
The girl was a little confused: "Oh! You're welcome."
After saying goodbye to her, Sui Yi walked up to Leng Tianyi.
"How about it?"
"Yes! The deceased was named Lin Ling, a senior in college. She had a boyfriend named Lu Yue and a close friend named Jiang Xue. It is said that she and her boyfriend had a very good relationship, and she had a tattoo of the character 'Yue' on her arm."
"Not bad, you obtained important information in such a short time." Leng Tianyi rarely looked at Sui Yi with such praise.
Sui Yi scoffed: "Don't think I didn't see that you didn't talk to any girls at all. Otherwise, with a face like yours, people would definitely tell you everything."
Leng Tianyi rarely showed an embarrassed expression and touched his nose.
"By the way, call Chenchen and ask her to investigate Jiang Xue and Lu Yue. Based on my guess, they're probably the murderers." After making the call, the two waited for the final news.
Leng Tianyi looked at her with great interest, gesturing for her to continue. Sui Yi then launched into a long, rambling monologue. "Most prime-time soap operas feature a couple of women and a man, with best friends and boyfriends getting together and betraying their partners in countless ways."
"Ring ring ring," Leng Tianyi took out his phone. It was Chenchen calling. He clicked to answer.
"Boss, we've found out. Lu Yue and Jiang Xue are on their way to the airport. I suspect they're the murderers. Two days ago, Jiang Xue suddenly had a million yuan in her account."
"Okay, got it." Leng Tianyi hung up the phone and pulled Suiyi into the car.
"Fasten your seatbelts. You're right, those two are probably the murderers. They're trying to escape the country now, we need to get there quickly." As he spoke, he accelerated, flooring the gas pedal, and the police car sped along like a sports car, giving everyone a real taste of speed and excitement.
After getting out of the car, Leng Tianyi looked at Sui Yi, whose face was pale, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you alright?"
Sui Yi shook her head, calming her breathing, "I didn't expect Captain Leng to have such good driving skills."
“This isn’t the time to talk about this. Look at the message Chenchen sent, those two haven’t arrived yet. Let’s go outside and ambush them. Take a look at their faces.” She took out her phone and showed Suiyi a picture of Lu Yue and Jiang Xue. The two of them stood separately in the crowd near airport security. Two minutes later, the two appeared. Suiyi and Leng Tianyi struck simultaneously, quickly grabbing them, handcuffing them, and taking them away.
Half an hour later, in the police station's interrogation room, the two were questioned separately. Leng Tianyi and Li Hao interrogated Lu Yue, while Jiang Ling and Sui Yi interrogated Jiang Xue.
"Jiang Xue, do you recognize the girl in the photo?"
Jiang Xue was very cooperative, saying, "I know her, Lin Ling."
"Tell me about how you committed the murder."
Jiang Xue looked at Sui Yi and confessed the crime word by word, "There's nothing to say. It was indeed Lu Yue and I who killed her. Because Lu Yue originally loved me, and she was the one who came between us, comfortably enjoying our offerings—one of youth, the other of love. Officer, do you think such a good thing exists in the world? Who is she? Why should the whole world revolve around her? Just because she was born into a good family? I'm not reconciled. Everything I worked hard for was attributed to her charity, and a single sentence plunged me into the abyss. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered! Lu Yue and I couldn't bear it any longer, so we plotted to kill her. After I strangled her with a rope, to prevent her information from being discovered, we disfigured her face and destroyed the tattoos on her arms. Finally, we dragged her to the park and drowned her. I was the mastermind behind the whole incident; Lu Yue was at most an accomplice."
"You're only in your early twenties, with so many wonderful things to discover in the future. Why did you choose this path?"
Jiang Xue cried silently, her voice hoarse, "Feelings arise without knowing where they come from, and once they begin, they run deep. You can't help but suffer the pain of unrequited love, and you have no control over it. When you truly fall in love with someone, you'll think of giving your all, just for the sake of saying 'I love you.'"
"But there isn't that much love and hate in this world; it's all just desire. We will use what you said as evidence in the trial and transfer it to the court. If the court sentences you to death with a two-year reprieve, there is still a glimmer of hope, as long as you behave well."
"Officer, can I ask you for a favor?"
"explain"
"I want to know if Lu Yue truly loves me at this moment."
"You... alright! I'll help you." Sui Yi couldn't bear to watch Jiang Xue's foolish obsession with love. After leaving, Sui Yi leaned against the wall, her eyes vacant, thinking of a certain man's love for her in previous worlds—a love so heavy and extreme. This love was a weight that life itself couldn't bear. She wondered what had become of that man in the end!
"Creak!" Sui Yi's thoughts were interrupted. She turned her head and saw Leng Tianyi come out. Looking at the man's tall and handsome face, with the same temperament and the same eyebrows, she vaguely felt as if she saw someone walking towards her.
Sui Yi smiled and opened her arms to hug that figure, her eyes filled with tears.
This scene was truly terrifying! Who was it? A stunned Li Hao and Jiang Ling. Immediately, a gossip-filled thought arose within them. The two exchanged a mischievous glance, then pulled out their phones and snapped a picture.
Startled awake, Suiyi suddenly jumped out of Leng Tianyi's arms, quite embarrassed and not daring to look at him.
He glanced at the tear-soaked shirt on his shoulder, his brows furrowing. Looking at Suiyi, he saw her tearful eyes and, for some reason, his heart softened. He took out a tissue and handed it to Suiyi.
"Here, wipe your tears. Go back and check their statements to see if they're lying."
Suiyi took it shyly, wiped away her tears, and looked at the man.
"May I see Lu Yue's statement?"
"Hmm!" Sui Yi took the transcript and saw that the person in charge readily admitted to the crime, but also considered the other party's feelings and claimed to be the mastermind.
Sui Yi suddenly felt an immense sense of peace. It seemed that true love meant that when disaster struck, both partners wanted to share the burden and try to create a chance for each other to survive. It had nothing to do with romance, but simply the feelings between them.
"It seems this love wasn't in vain." Holding the transcript, Suiyi suddenly smiled, her smile as if a white magnolia were blooming on her face, giving people a sense of purification and stirring someone's heart.
