Chapter 242 One Dead, One Wounded: Xu Youyou's End... (1/2)



"Where is the person who went in with you?"

The person who was even more anxious than Liu Rulan was Tong Junhui.

Xiao He met Tong Junhui's sincere and concerned gaze and sighed inwardly.

He finally understood.

Tong Junhui suddenly returned, but never contacted Liu Rulan, seemingly resenting her. However, when he auditioned for "Silent Search" and Feng Zhengyang asked about his background, Tong Junhui was able to immediately answer his identity and background, implying to Feng Zhengyang that he had no value in being selected.

Was Tong Junhui disqualified from selection because of resentment, or did he deliberately make Feng Zhengyang lose interest because he didn't want them to be involved in the case?

What kind of person is Tong Junhui?

He exudes a criminal aura, yet it is also mixed with his yearning for justice and his resentment towards himself. Is it his rebellion against fate, or his courage to take his enemy away even if it means sinking into ruin?

Xiao He didn't know.

He clearly understood that Tong Junhui's achievement of becoming a Best Actor was well-deserved—he had simply moved what he originally loved to another stage.

The people around him who cooperated with his "performance" were dangerous criminals and police officers who never gave up on finding the truth.

Xiao He's gaze swept over Liu Rulan, and he silently felt sorry for her.

But some things are lost forever and can never be regained.

"He's fine, he should be out soon."

Xiao He only said this to Tong Junhui, then turned to the staff member next to him and asked, "Have you called an ambulance? How long will it take to arrive?"

"It will take at least five minutes."

When the staff saw Xiao He carrying a bloodied figure out, he was almost crying and answered in a trembling voice.

Xiao He frowned.

Cheng Hongwen has multiple stab wounds and is likely to die here.

However, he did not say it directly. Instead, he moved the person to a relatively safe hall and laid the person flat on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the carpet was stained with blood.

The lobby manager who followed was weak in the knees, carrying a first-aid kit, and couldn't even maintain the most basic smile: "Is he...is he alright?"

Xiao He glanced at him: "Of course not!"

Previously, his skill upgrade unlocked the "Art of Anatomy," but since Xiao He neither wanted to be a forensic doctor nor studied medicine, he had long forgotten about this skill.

It wasn't until he saw Cheng Hongwen this time that Xiao He suddenly remembered that he had the skill of examining "dead people".

As for Cheng Hongwen... to be honest, he's pretty much dead on his feet.

"Two wounds to the chest, three wounds to the abdomen, and one wound to the neck. The neck wound did not damage major blood vessels or the trachea, but there was active bleeding. All three abdominal wounds penetrated the abdominal wall, and the probability of damage to abdominal organs is extremely high. On the contrary, the chest wounds are relatively minor..."

All the wounds were clean-cut and sharp-edged, consistent with the characteristics of injuries caused by a single-edged sharp weapon. It was most likely a dagger, or perhaps a fruit knife—Xiao He didn't see the knife at the scene. He suspected that after stabbing Cheng Hongwen, the murderer went directly to Xu Youyou with the knife.

If even Cheng Hongwen is like this, then Xu Youyou is probably...

Xiao He didn't have time to pray for Xu Youyou. He asked Shu Han and the hotel manager to take clean towels and help press on the bleeding wounds on Cheng Hongwen's body.

Although he's already riddled with holes, he'll hold on for as long as he can, even if it's just a little while longer, it's a last-ditch effort.

"The person is out!"

Someone else shouted.

Then Cheng Bei rushed out of the room carrying another bloodied person, and the well-dressed hotel staff also began to release the valves and use the hotel's built-in water hoses to spray water into the room to extinguish the fire.

As Cheng Bei walked towards them, Xiao He knew with just one glance that things were over.

With that much bleeding, he was practically dead.

After Cheng Bei put the woman down, Xiao He sighed and shook his head slightly as he looked at the woman whose death was far from pleasant.

Although he didn't like Xu Youyou very much, and Xu Youyou had done many things that harmed others, he really didn't want their next meeting to end like this.

After all, it's a human life; how can it be taken away so maliciously by those people?
