Chapter 1042 A Lucky Mistake
Some viewers were still confused by this explanation.
Why does this seem so unsettling? Could it be that the missing girl is already dead?
[Nonsense, under those circumstances, if she didn't appear, it means she already... But that's not the point. The point is that the girl and this woman in the live stream were inseparable before, and they seemed to have a good relationship. But now that the girl is gone, this woman doesn't seem sad at all. And judging from the tone of Mr. Feng's words just now, he's clearly implying that this woman is involved in the death of the girl who died, right?]
[Seriously? Is online crime-solving all the rage now? The facts aren't even clear, and people are already convicting people. What if they're wrongly accused? Will you apologize then?]
Without evidence, it's indeed inappropriate to make accusations against others, and most rational people have cautiously chosen to remain silent.
However, no one expected that not long after, they would witness a farce.
This live stream, watched by hundreds of millions of people, suddenly took an almost absurd turn after Feng Tianyu left.
Everyone just watched as a woman, whom some netizens had just described as introverted and shy, pounced on someone like a madwoman and scratched their face, her expression so ferocious that she seemed to want to kill everyone present.
Meanwhile, her companions, who had been laughing and chatting with her not long ago, turned their guns on her, accusing her of sacrificing her best friend, the girl who had already disappeared, in order to save her own life.
For a moment, everyone seemed to lose the ability to type. Those who had spoken up for the woman earlier couldn't help but swallow hard, and for a fleeting instant, they tasted the metallic taste of blood rising from their throats.
Everyone stared blankly at the farce unfolding in the live stream, feeling a chilling coldness for the first time, their scalps tingling.
At that time, Feng Tianyu had no idea that after he left, the group began to fight amongst themselves, each revealing shocking information about the woman.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. From the moment he first saw that woman, he saw through her little scheme and guessed what had happened before.
The original five people became four, and the woman was stained with blood. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could easily guess that the death of the missing person was inextricably linked to this woman.
Xiao Jihui's men weren't very good at dealing with inhuman beings, but they were quite reliable when it came to investigating the cause of death of victims and ensuring that no one died unjustly.
Indeed, after hearing Li Jiaming and the others' accusations against the woman, the faces of the people who had stayed behind to protect them and clean up the mess immediately darkened, and their gazes toward the group changed.
"Is what you said true?"
The woman shuddered, realizing that there were others besides the group of people around her. She hurriedly said, "No, it's not true, they're lying! They clearly... they abandoned Xiaoyan to save their own lives, but now they're accusing me. I didn't hurt anyone, it was them... it was them who did it."
The group was genuinely surprised that she would turn around and falsely accuse them in order to escape punishment.
Yes, they were indeed only concerned with escaping and didn't stay to fight that ghost uncle head-on, but that's only human nature, isn't it?
When they are struggling to survive, choosing to protect themselves is understandable, even if it is unethical. At least they did not do something as heinous as surviving by stepping on others.
How come in this woman's mouth, it all became their fault?
"Having known you for so long, this is the first time I've realized you're this kind of person. Every word you say seems to lower my standards."
The same man who had started the argument earlier was speaking. His gaze towards the woman contained not only contempt and disgust, but also a hint of unspeakable disappointment and complexity.
He fell in love with her at first sight when he saw her at school. Later, because of Li Jiaming, he was able to get close to his goddess.
But as it turns out, some people are only meant to be admired from afar, not to be approached up close; the closer they get, the faster the filter shatters.
If everything that had happened before had only diluted his feelings, then everything that happened today was like a slap in the face that woke him up.
Although Li Jiaming and his companion did not speak, the way they looked at the woman and the gloomy expressions on their faces clearly showed their attitude.
"How dare you... how dare you..." The woman trembled with anger. She knew all too well what this man was thinking about her, which was why she couldn't accept him saying such things to her.
"What do I have to be afraid of? I swear to God, Xiaoyan's death has nothing to do with us. We didn't even touch her before she died, otherwise we'd all be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. Do you dare swear that?"
"I..." The woman instinctively wanted to reply.
But then the man added, "Heaven's justice is clear, and retribution is swift. The events of tonight are still fresh in our minds. If there are ghosts and gods in this world, then there is retribution. Xiaoyan has been gone for less than an hour; she's probably still watching us from somewhere here. Do you dare swear? Do you dare swear that her death has nothing to do with you, that you didn't push her before she died? Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death. Do you dare? Do you dare?"
The woman's face turned deathly pale. Would she dare? Of course not.
The people who saved them had already left. She dared not gamble on whether Xiao Yan's ghost was still nearby, and she dared not gamble on whether the people in front of her could stop her and save her when Xiao Yan's ghost appeared.
Anyone with eyes could tell that the woman's reaction was unusual.
The squad leader who was left behind stared at her with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Regarding the cause of death of that Miss Yan, we need you all to come back to the station with us to cooperate with the investigation. In addition, regarding the matter of you leaving home without permission tonight, running around, and broadcasting it on live, we also need you to come back to the station to make a statement."
Upon hearing the second half of the squad leader's words, the group, who had been as deflated as fighting roosters, instantly wilted.
Li Jiaming, in particular, couldn't imagine what kind of situation he would face after returning.
The fates of these people had nothing to do with Feng Tianyu. When the squad leader and others took them away, he also managed to reach Ye Wanxi's side.
Qi Yingxuan and the others arrived a little earlier than him. They were surprised to see him appear last, but they didn't forget to seize the opportunity to tease him a bit.
"How rare! Even when it comes to matters concerning Junior Sister, Senior Brother is late. Could it be that he's been held up by some unwanted suitors outside?"
Feng Tianyu glanced at Qi Yingxuan coldly, but said nothing.
The others were bewildered: "???" They didn't even object; could it be that they'd guessed right by accident?
