The terrified Mi couple fainted after hearing what the police said. Ishigami Bai, the only sober person, communicated with the police and said that because Mian was pregnant, legal prosecution and other issues needed to give way until Mian gave birth safely.
Mian had not woken up, and after seeing the official pregnancy certificate issued by the hospital, the police could only talk to Ishigami Kashiwa. Although he was a newcomer, it was true that Ishigami Kashiwa was a prosecutor, so it was the most appropriate for him to communicate with the police.
Through communication, Ishigami Kashiwa finally saw the evidence in the hands of the police.
A complete video, with public cameras clearly capturing Mian coming out of the crime scene at the time of Chu Guanyu's death. The knife in his hand, which had been identified as the murder weapon, was dropped by Mian after he took two steps. He then took a few more steps forward and fainted on the ground.
Mian, who fainted on the ground, was awakened by a passerby, and then Mian returned home like that.
With the clear video, the analysis of the knife and countless evidences at the scene, Ishigami Kashiwa couldn't believe that Mian would kill someone, but he couldn't escape the fact that Mian was the murderer.
After waking up, Mian had no memory at all.
Because of Ishigami Kashiwa's request, the police were not in the ward after Mian woke up. It was Ishigami Kashiwa who asked Mian. Mian suddenly disappeared, and he would inevitably be questioned after returning. Ishigami Kashiwa asked, and Mian answered that everything was normal, but Mian had no memory of the day and night he disappeared.
Mi An's memory only reached the restaurant. She said she passed out after drinking a little bit of wine, but was woken up in a strange place. She was also shocked. Mi An didn't even know that it was the next night when she woke up. She thought it was the night of the dinner.
Faced with Mian's situation, the police's first reaction was that Mian did it on purpose, but Ishigami Kashiwa believed Mian.
He finally asked a psychiatrist, one of the most authoritative psychiatrists on the Blue Water Planet. After examining Mian, the doctor, who was over seventy years old, was silent for a moment in front of Ishigami Kashiwa, and finally concluded that Mian was suffering from a dissociative disorder.
"It is a dissociative disorder, also known as dissociative (conversion) disorder. The official explanation is that it is a mental disorder caused by mental factors acting on susceptible individuals. It is an unconscious defense mechanism formed by separating one part of the mind and action from other parts of the mental state. It is a symbolic conversion of the patient's unresolved inner conflicts and desires."
Facing the equally young faces of Ishigami Kashiwa and Mian, the doctor patiently explained, "To put it simply, the patient could not accept everything she experienced during her disappearance, and because of the need for self-protection, she formed an unconscious defense mechanism."
"She sealed that part of her past away, and her memory only goes back to the party." The doctor stood up and patted Ishigami Kashiwa's shoulder. "I will submit a formal diagnosis report to the police and ask them to investigate thoroughly. Be prepared."
"Thank you." Ishigami Kashiwa thanked him stiffly.
The doctor took two steps and then turned back. Under Ishigami Kashiwa's puzzled gaze, he added, "The patient's mental state is very bad now. If she accidentally thinks of what she has experienced, she will definitely have a mental breakdown and be in greater danger. So we must not let her be stimulated again, and let her know the news of her pregnancy as soon as possible."
In the blank look of Ishigami Kashiwa, the doctor shook his head, "If we keep the news of the pregnancy from her, she will overthink it. What she is most afraid of now is overthinking. Pregnancy can divert her attention."
Ishigami Bai nodded fiercely, and the doctor sighed inwardly and turned to leave. He only hoped that the patient could safely transition to having a child. It would be best if pregnancy and childbirth could heal some of the trauma. Otherwise, after the breastfeeding period, the police would start to intervene, and no one could predict the patient's condition.
The doctor hadn't thought at that time that the baby in Mian's belly might also have abnormalities.
After the doctor left, Ishigami Bai conveyed the doctor's words, discussed with the Mi couple, and told Mian the news of the pregnancy.
Mian, who had felt something was wrong after waking up, was a little dazed at first, but when she learned the news of her pregnancy, she instantly became energetic and excited.
"Shitou, we are having a baby!" It was a big surprise for Mian. After being stunned for a moment, he reacted and pulled Shi Shangbai excitedly. He stroked his belly carefully with a dreamy and happy face, "We are having a baby..."
In response to Mi's mother's instructions, Mi An took the Mi couple's hands and announced, "Mom and Dad, I'm getting married because I'm pregnant! In a few months, you're going to be grandparents!"
The Mi couple, who felt like a huge stone was weighing on their hearts, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Since Mi An knew she was pregnant, she began to study mother's courses seriously, and did not forget to pull Ishigami Kashiwa to study father's courses. The ward was peaceful. The anxious Mi family couple and Ishigami Kashiwa smiled at Mi An as soon as they entered the ward.
Because of the psychiatrist's report, the police did not announce the case to the public, and the news reports were not widely reported due to Chu Ping's intervention. Mian had never known about these things.
As the police investigated the case further, things became more and more outrageous. Through clues and information that Chu Guanyu's "friends" were forced to provide, the police slowly pieced together the whole thing.
The whole thing started more than two months ago. Mian, who was both outstanding and beautiful, was chosen by Chu Guanyu. Like his father, Chu Guanyu, who was interested in genetic matching, used some simple old methods to obtain Mian's hair for genetic matching as he did before.
Chu Guanyu was very satisfied with the match, which was the best match for him ever. However, the news he got before pursuing her made Chu Guanyu very dissatisfied, that Mi An actually had a boyfriend.
Chu Guanyu was very disappointed, but he was reluctant to give up, so he finally came up with the idea of giving it a try. He used some tricks during Mi An's pregnancy period and took advantage of Mi An's lunch break to attack her.
Chu Guanyu’s friends didn’t know how he did it. Later, when Chu Guanyu was having dinner with his friends and was a little drunk, he met Mian in the restaurant. In the end, he impulsively kidnapped and detained Mian.
What happened after the detention can only be judged from the scene. The room was in chaos, Chu Guanyu was disheveled and died on the bed after Mian cut his throat with a knife.
The case is basically clear, but the verdict and trial must wait until Mian's breastfeeding period ends.
After hearing the news again, the Mi couple could hardly stand, let alone face Ishigami Bai.
They never thought that something like this would happen. In the past two days, because of Mian's plan, Mian and Ishigami Kashiwa had agreed to register for marriage after being discharged from the hospital the next day.
If the child may not be Ishigami Kashiwa's, what is the point of registering him?
"Little Shitou, don't worry. You don't have to worry about the registration. We will take care of it. You don't have to really register." Mother Mi looked at Shi Shangbai who was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and made a decision, "It's just that Xiaomi's condition has not been good during this period. I hope you can help take care of Xiaomi. She..."
The baby in Mi An's belly suddenly became embarrassing. If it was really Chu Guanyu's, Mi An definitely didn't want him to be born. But not to mention that the law does not allow not having a healthy child, losing the child is more likely to result in losing Mi An, so they didn't dare to take the risk at all.
Ishigami Bai was still stunned, seemingly not reacting yet, but Father Mi stopped Mother Mi from talking, and tentatively looked at Ishigami Bai and discussed, "In fact, we can do a paternity test first..."
Ishigami Kashiwa quickly shook his head this time, "To test an unborn child, the pregnant woman must sign her consent. Don't do it. We can't do it."
“Then…” The Mi couple had no choice.
"Let's talk about it later." Ishigami Kashiwa walked away alone. He needed to be alone and quiet.
Ishigami Kashiwa did not sleep all night, and the next day he picked up Mi An from the hospital. He listened carefully to Mi An's plans for life after marriage, and watched Mi An start to name her unborn child...
Mian's face was filled with happiness, and she was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her. Ishigami Kashiwa saw it more clearly than anyone else.
Ishigami Kashiwa saw better than anyone the bloodiness behind this beauty and how fragile this beautiful happiness was.
After lunch, under the worried gaze of the Mi couple, Ishigami Bai and Mian went to register their marriage.
Before Mian's belly became apparent, they completed all the necessary things for a wedding and the wedding went smoothly. They became the first couple to get married after graduation from campus and received countless blessings.
Mian's belly grew bigger day by day. Ignoring the silence of the Mi couple and Ishigami Bai, everything was perfect.
When the fetus moved for the first time, at a time when prospective parents should be most excited, Mian's condition began to become abnormal. She couldn't sleep all night and had nightmares when she fell asleep.
Finally, a psychiatrist was consulted. Mian’s condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad, but she finally managed to hold on until giving birth.
After the caesarean section, Mian's condition was not very good. At this time, no one could have imagined that Chu Ping and his wife suddenly came to the hospital and said they wanted to take away the child, who was not called Shi Wei at that time, saying that he was their Chu family's child and the grandson their son had exchanged his life for.
The neonatal department was in chaos due to the quarrel between Chu Ping and his wife, and finally the quarrel came to Mian.
When Shi Shangbai came back from buying some things, Mi An had already entered the emergency room. Outside the emergency room, Chu Ping and his wife were still unwilling to give in. "...We have been waiting for this day for a long time. If it weren't for Guanyu, we would have found him a long time ago. This child is from the Chu family. He has the Chu family's blood flowing in his body. We want to take him back to the Chu family!"
Shi Shangbai rushed forward and started beating Chu Ping and his wife without saying a word. If the Mi couple and the hospital staff had not stopped them, someone might have died on the spot.
The Chu Ping couple were driven away in such a drastic way, but the influence they brought could not be driven away.
The Chu Ping couple pushed Mian into the abyss of death.
Mian came out of the emergency room, still breathing, but lifeless, with his whole body twitching from time to time. Finally, even the psychiatrist came but was helpless and the doctor issued a notice of critical illness.
After waking up, Mian's eyes were filled with hatred.
"Shi Tou, that bastard said I might be pregnant with his child, that I had long been his, and even tried to rape me. I later killed that bastard with the fruit knife you bought for me."
"Shi Tou, I only wanted to be your wife, so I killed him."
"Shi Tou, raise the child. If it's ours, raise him well. If it's not yours, raise him too and be his father. Make sure he has nothing to do with the Chu family. I'm waiting for him to grow up and piss off the Chu Ping couple. We can't let them get away with it and let them die all at once, understand?"
"Shi Tou, will you promise me?" Mian stared at Shi Shangbai, his body twitching from time to time.
"...I promise you." Ishigami Bai held her hand and finally spoke.
Mian's eyes flashed, and his gaze slowly turned to the Mi couple.
The new mother, who only saw her child once, watched the Mi couple pass away with guilt.
The psychiatrist said that Mian had sentenced herself to death in her heart, so no matter how she was rescued, she would die.
Mian went just like that.
Shi Shangbai couldn't even find someone to take revenge on, because Chu Guanyu had already been killed by Mi An, and the Chu Ping couple. Mi An didn't want them to die all at once, and wanted him to raise the child before angering them to death.
Chu Guanyu's case ended quickly because of Mian's death, and a battle for the child's custody began. Shi Shangbai lost his job as a prosecutor and lost everything, but finally retained custody of the child.
Thirteen years later, the child finally knew his own life experience.
