Chapter 712: Guilt to Death
Inside the Tianyi Pavilion mansion.
Lu Zhiang and Mu Wanjun left.
Only the couple were left.
Xie Nancheng didn't have time to ask for details.
Because he and Tu Ran are still in the cold war stage.
Not as close as before.
For a moment, Xie Nancheng didn't know where to start.
"you……"
"Do you want to eat something?" Xie Nancheng asked.
"No, I want to get some sleep."
After a whole night of tossing and turning, it was already dawn and Tu Ran was indeed very tired.
Although she almost escaped from this battle unscathed.
There are no broken bones, just some external injuries.
But he also lost the palm thunder that he bought at a huge price.
That palm thunder is not an ordinary palm thunder. It is a magical weapon that has undergone complicated processing and is extremely powerful.
I don’t know if the ghost baby will come back to take revenge on me.
Tu Ran felt very tired and just wanted to sleep and didn't want to talk.
He turned and went into the bathroom, and when he came out, he went straight to bed and fell asleep.
Xie Nancheng couldn't fall asleep anymore, and he had no mood to sleep.
He personally went to the police station that was in charge of Tu Ran's case last night, but he didn't get anything out of it.
The statements are roughly the same.
There were a few desperate criminals who had their eyes on Tu Ran and wanted to kidnap, rob, or kill him.
Because those people died, and their deaths were tragic, and the clues were cut off.
It is not known who ordered it, nor what the original motive was.
According to Tu Ran's description, the animal that appeared in the middle of the journey should be a mandrill.
But the police found it impossible.
This creature is rare in the north, and I have never heard of anyone encountering a mandrill in all these years.
There is an occasional legend in the southern tropical rainforest area that says this thing is a giant monkey that has become a spirit.
It has extremely high combat power and specializes in eating women and children. It is said to be supernatural.
But these legends cannot be used as evidence.
Xie Nancheng read through the case records and felt that he didn't gain much.
But there are many doubts.
When he found out that Bai Yi had also appeared last night, he went to find Bai Yi immediately.
At this time, Bai Yi had already gotten rid of the last turmoil.
Back to work, keeping a low profile.
He was not surprised to see Xie Nancheng.
I know it's probably because of last night's case.
"Old White, do you have time to chat?"
Bai Yi is Feng Yao's good friend, and Xie Nancheng has met him several times.
I always heard Feng Yao call him Lao Bai, so I called him that too.
"When I'm free, wait for me. I'll tell you as soon as I finish what I'm doing."
Bai Yi arranged the work of his subordinates and then followed Xie Nancheng out.
The two of them found a nearby breakfast shop, which was a large porridge shop.
In a small private room, I ordered porridge and a few baskets of buns.
Take advantage of the morning's hustle and bustle.
The two talked about this matter.
"What happened last night?" Xie Nancheng asked directly.
"I'm not in charge of this case. I came later. When I arrived, the statement had already been taken...Tu Ran seemed injured. Didn't you take her to the hospital?"
Xie Nancheng was stunned. "She didn't tell me about the injury, and I didn't notice it."
"According to my police brothers, Tu Ran is injured."
"The other victims died in tragic ways."
"However, there's no way to verify what exactly happened. The place was too remote, and it was too late. There were no witnesses, and no surveillance. Tu Ran was the only survivor, but she said she encountered a mandrill. That thing...we can't write it down in the transcript. We can only say that a ferocious monster appeared along the way."
"But as to why the monster didn't attack her, she said that Mu Wanjun and Lu Zhiang arrived in time."
"The monster saw the headlights and ran away."
After Bai Yi finished speaking, Xie Nancheng was silent for a long time.
"You don't believe it either, right?" Bai Yi asked with a smile.
"yes."
"Then you have to go back and ask your own wife."
"I also feel something is wrong, but Tu Ran doesn't want to tell the truth, and I can't force her."
“She was a victim too.”
"Normally, she's the only survivor at the scene, making her the most suspicious and requiring temporary detention for questioning. However, judging by the apparent fighting, those were indeed traces left by a ferocious beast, something a human wouldn't have been able to do. Even the illegal hunting rifle had handprints from the deceased, as well as claw marks that looked like those of a beast. Therefore, Tu Ran is no longer a suspect. I believe a beast was indeed present at the scene, but Tu Ran must have held back."
"Of course, these words can only be said between you and me. We can't say them at the police station."
"You know what I mean."
Xie Nancheng nodded.
"What's wrong with you two recently?" Bai Yi suddenly asked.
Xie Nancheng didn't say anything.
"Don't blame me for asking too many questions. Tu Ran and I have had private contact several times because of previous cases. We even have more opportunities to interact with each other than you, so I treat her as a friend, but I definitely don't have any improper expectations."
Bai Yi was afraid that Xie Nancheng would think too much, so he quickly explained.
Xie Nancheng certainly knew what Bai Yi was thinking.
"I know, Lao Bai, you don't need to say more."
"Tu Ran is a good person. A boss of your level, with such a successful career, how could you have trouble managing your marriage? Was it someone with ulterior motives who instigated a conflict? At least there are many people who can't stand your good fortune. Don't be fooled."
"Remember, no matter what a person's reputation is, as long as she has a clear conscience towards you, you should weigh the pros and cons of your relationship."
"Thank you for your comfort, I know."
"Let's stop here for today."
Xie Nancheng hardly ate anything and was in a bad mood.
Because Bai Yi heard that Tu Ran was injured, he hurried home.
He felt guilty all the way back.
I didn't even notice that she was injured. What happened to me?
Could Lu Xuan'er's words have alienated their relationship?
Even if she is really a miracle doctor, she can save whoever she wants. What right does she have to morally blackmail me?
If it were me, I might not do as well as Tu Ran.
Her mother had really treated her badly before, always snatching away her birthdays and making her life miserable.
Just because she didn't save him doesn't mean she is unforgivable. Everyone has selfish motives.
Along the way, Xie Nancheng was regretting his decision. The more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. He wanted to slap himself twice.
When he finally got home and walked in, he was dumbfounded.
No one is at home?
He picked up the phone and called.
It took a long time before the other end picked up the phone.
Tu Ran: What's wrong?
Xie Nancheng: Where have you been?
Tu Ran: I'm in the clinic.
Xie Nancheng looked at his watch. It was only seven forty in the morning.
Xie Nancheng: So early?
Tu Ran: Uncle Sun is busy with the morning clinic, so I came here to help. Is there anything you need to do with the community activities?
Xie Nancheng: I heard from Bai Yi that you were injured.
Tu Ran: Ah, a little bit.
Xie Nancheng: Do you want to go to the hospital?
Tu Ran: No.
Xie Nancheng: Are you really okay?
Tu Ran: It’s okay.
Xie Nancheng: But...
Tu Ran: Nancheng, I’m a little busy. Let’s talk about our matters later.
She called out to Nancheng calmly, without any resentment or anger.
Just like in the past, this made Xie Nancheng feel even more guilty.
Xie Nancheng: Okay, then I’ll pick you up from get off work in the evening.
Tu Ran: No need, I drove myself, that’s it.
After saying that, Tu Ran hung up the phone. Xie Nancheng felt very uncomfortable, but he could only wait for her to come back in the evening to talk again.
Xie Nancheng then returned to Shengshi Group.
In his spare time, he still did not give up and asked Xu Xin to investigate what happened last night to see if there were any clues.
He didn't care about the part that Tu Ran concealed.
He wanted to know who those desperadoes were.
Is it Xie Huailan or Qiao Kelan?
Or something else...
No matter who it is, if anyone attacks Tu Ran, he will not let him go.
At the same time, in a luxury store in Hong Kong.
Gu Xixing looked at a red scarf and said, "Let's take this and wrap it up."
"Are you buying this for your wife? Sir, you really have good taste."
Gu Xixing's eyes softened, "It's the person I like."
