Jiang Yi thought Xiao Moran was telling him a story. "Xiao Moran, I think you have a real talent for writing novels. You can even make up a story like this. Your brain is really something else."
"Go to hell with your wishful thinking!" He angrily pushed Jiang Yi back onto the bed and paced back and forth in the ward like an ant on a hot plate.
He hoped it was all just wishful thinking, but these were the messages he heard at the police station. There was also a nine-square grid drawn by Xiao Nuan on the blackboard. Now, not only was Mo Xi's fate unknown, but Xiao Nuan was also in danger.
As the older brother and husband, he was powerless and could only anxiously watch from the sidelines.
Xiao Moran paced back and forth in the ward, clutching his head in pain and slamming his fist against the hard wall.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yi no longer doubted him and knew that everything he said was true.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps. He looked up and stared intently at the door, hoping for a miracle. If the man in a vegetative state or Mersey appeared, all danger would be averted.
However, it was Su Xiaonuan who appeared at the door of the ward.
If it were up to Tian, Jiang Yi would definitely be overjoyed.
But now, his eyes are filled with disappointment.
"Xiao Moran, you really are here." Su Xiaonuan didn't even glance at Jiang Yi, and walked straight towards Xiao Moran.
"Where's Moxi?" Xiao Moran had even forgotten about being jealous. If it were in the past, he would definitely think that she came to visit Jiang Yi on purpose, and he would definitely be extremely jealous or make a fuss.
"In the operating room."
"What happened to her? Is she injured? Is she in danger?" Xiao Moran asked anxiously, placing his hands on her shoulders.
"It's nothing, she was just fed some spoiled paste, she'll be fine after her stomach is pumped." Su Xiaonuan removed his hands from her shoulders. "Go back, I'll take care of Moxi at the hospital."
"No, I have to stay in the hospital too." Xiao Moran breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Jiang Yi with a quiet expression, thinking to herself, I won't let you have a chance to be alone with this man in the hospital.
"Comrade Su, Director Lu wants to see you." A police officer approached.
Su Xiaonuan shrugged. "As you wish, you can stay and take care of Moxi. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Xu Zhilin denied the murder charge, saying that he was only attracted by the woman's beauty and did not commit any murder. He claimed that he only held the dagger to coerce the other party into submission. He also had his own explanation for the glue evidence, saying that it was used to glue the windows of the ward and that the newspapers were prepared and he was just waiting for the glue to arrive to glue the glass windows.
In short, Xu Zhilin simply refuses to admit to the murder.
Several leaders showed Su Xiaonuan Xu Zhilin's confession.
She angrily threw the transcript on the table. "Like a dead duck with a stubborn beak, Xu Zhilin, let's see how long you can keep up this act."
Afterwards, Su Xiaonuan sat down in the interrogation room.
Upon seeing the woman enter, Xu Zhilin lazily raised his head and stared at Su Xiaonuan with his dead fish eyes, thinking that this woman had ruined his plans and prevented him from waking up his beloved woman.
Su Xiaonuan stared intently at him, without saying a word.
The two exchanged glances for dozens of rounds.
She wanted to break down his psychological defenses. "Xu Zhilin, the small boss of Xu's Coffin Shop, graduated from a nursing school. He was very interested in human anatomy and once spent money to buy dead people to dissect privately. After graduation, he did not work properly and stayed at the coffin shop to do some shady things. His newlywed wife suffered misfortune, so you later became obsessed with fortune telling and went further and further down this road of no return."
Xu Zhilin possessed remarkable composure; even when the other party answered all his questions correctly, he remained unfazed, letting out a strange laugh. "May I ask who you are interrogating me by? Are you a police officer?"
“Yes, I’m not a policeman.” Su Xiaonuan pointed at him. “Although I’m just an ordinary person, the essence of chivalry is that I don’t want bad people like you to get away with it. You’ve killed so many people, and I, Su Xiaonuan, am determined to bring you to justice. You’re already under my control. Even if you don’t harm my aunt, you will be caught by me sooner or later.”
"So what if you catch me?" Xu Zhilin scoffed. "So what if I attempted robbery? I didn't kill anyone or commit arson. I'll get a few years in prison, but I'll still be living the good life. What can you do to me?"
"Xu Zhilin, watch your words," the police officer on the jury shouted at him.
“I can’t do anything to you, but what about your wife? Without your efforts to defy fate for her, she would only live a few more days at most. Your painstakingly planned Nine Stars Destiny Lamp would be in vain, and your wife would eventually pass away. You wouldn’t even be able to see her off on her final journey. Don’t you have any regrets?”
"I don't know what you're talking about?" Xu Zhilin was no longer so arrogant. Clearly, this was his sore spot and his weakness. Everything he did was to wake up his wife who had become a vegetable.
“Xu Zhilin, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. If your attitude in admitting your guilt is satisfactory, perhaps I can persuade them to let you and your wife be buried together.” Su Xiaonuan knew that this man had a morbid love, so she had to start from this point; otherwise, he would refuse to admit his guilt even in death.
"I only admit to crimes I've committed. How can I admit to crimes I haven't committed?" Xu Zhilin's resolve wavered, but he remained defiant.
Su Xiaonuan seemed to see through him and pressed on relentlessly. "Xu Zhilin, don't think that just because you don't talk, you can't be convicted. The blind fortune teller has already confessed everything. You believed in his Nine Stars Destiny Lamp, but he only said that seeing blood would suffice, yet you cruelly killed them all and even tried to ruin their innocence. Is this your loyalty and love for your wife? If you ask me, the reason your wife can't wake up is because she doesn't want to see you being so perverted. Your behavior is truly despicable."
"..." Xu Zhilin slumped his head and stopped talking.
“You don’t have to tell the truth. The blood samples taken from the bodies of the deceased are already stored in cold storage. These are also evidence and can still be used to sentence you to death.” Su Xiaonuan continued her psychological attack. “Considering your deep love for your wife who is in a vegetative state, if you honestly confess your crimes, we will allow you and your wife to be buried together after you die, so that you can continue to protect her.”
"Waaah..." Xu Zhilin covered his face with his hands and burst into tears. "Xiaoxue, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to. I missed you so much that I did something so shameful to those people. Please forgive me! Forgive me..."
Xiaoxue was his wife, who was in a vegetative state. The two were very much in love. Unexpectedly, his newlywed wife was crushed into a vegetative state by a coffin in the store. In order to wake his wife up, he went further and further down the road of no return.
Xu Zhilin finally confessed to all his crimes.
While everyone else felt relieved, Su Xiaonuan was heavy-hearted. It was another case of personality split caused by family misfortune. Xu Zhilin had watched his mother being beaten by his father since he was a child. When he was only five years old, his mother ran away from the house.
Xu Zhilin, despite his young age, was withdrawn and unloved. Although he attended a nursing school, he was not good at socializing and had few friends. His personality became increasingly twisted and abnormal. It was Xiaoxue who brought him back to life, and he vowed to cherish Xiaoxue.
