Officer Li's hawk-like gaze swept over Ji Linting, his expression serious as if he wanted to see through him. "Also, why are you so sure that the person who just appeared in your house was your ex-wife Qiao Chuyuan?"
"As far as I know, your family's wedding banquet requires an invitation to enter, but it's obvious that you were very shocked by her appearance at the time." He paused, looking at the freezer beside him, and said thoughtfully, "Or... you knew at the time that she was dead!"
The word "dead" was like two sharp blades piercing Ji Linting's heart from his chest and back at the same time. The pain made him subconsciously break out in a cold sweat. He immediately retorted loudly, "She's not dead, she can't be dead!"
Ji Linting's father and mother, Qiao, seemed to be burned by these two words. They followed their son-in-law in refutation, "That's right, how could she die? Even if her son died, she can't die. She has always loved to scare us with death since we were young, and now she is even running away!"
"Comrade police officer, you don't know what she said when she was little. She said more than once that she wanted to die in front of us and see if we would regret it..."
The more they spoke, the more excited they became. My heart followed their words, as if it were in an icy sea, sinking lower and lower, falling into the endless dark depths, freezing cold.
They have called me an immortal monster in front of me more than once.
Eventually, I couldn't stand it anymore and even became depressed. I cut my wrists and went on a hunger strike. I sat on the balcony in the cold wind and wanted to jump off several times.
From the beginning, they were worried and advised me not to think too much, but later when Qiao Zhixian provoked me a few times, they thought I was deliberately playing tricks to win favor, so they hated me even more.
The worst time, I was sitting on the balcony on the fifth floor of my house and called them, threatening to die right now to show them whether I could be resurrected.
Unsurprisingly, they scoffed.
I was already suffering from depression and was about to collapse, so I hung up the phone and jumped off the balcony.
I thought my ridiculous life would end with this jump.
But when he jumped, I was caught by the awning and slowed him down, and he finally fell on the grass and didn't die.
That night was the day before New Year's Eve. I broke my leg and lay alone in the pouring rain all night without anyone noticing.
Because my parents are celebrating their beloved eldest daughter's birthday in the city where she goes to school, and they plan to stay there for the New Year.
They forgot that Qiao Zhixian and I are fraternal twins and we also have birthdays.
They even forgot that I am also a family member and am waiting to celebrate New Year's Eve with them.
Now, my family brought up the past again, cruelly tearing open my wounds that had already scabbed over, displaying them bloody in front of everyone, and my heart began to ache uncontrollably again.
I originally thought that Officer Li would stop speaking for me after hearing my parents' slander against me.
Unexpectedly, his expression grew increasingly serious. He glanced at them with scrutiny, interrupting their confusion with a cold voice, "As her family and former husband, why aren't you worried about Miss Qiao's whereabouts at all? Instead, you seem to wish her death?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Qiao's parents, who were originally indignant and pointing out my mistakes, fell silent in an instant.
For a moment, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Ah!" a startled cry suddenly rang out. Jiang Xi, who had been wondering what was going on, widened her eyes in horror and pointed at a lump of human skin tissue in the freezer. Her intact left hand couldn't stop shaking. "What...what is that?"
Everyone in the room looked in the direction Jiang Xi pointed.
The next second, Ji Linting's breathing stagnated, and he quickly glanced at Officer Li, whose eyes were as sharp as torches.
At this moment, Officer Li was staring at that piece of skin tissue without blinking, and the blood color on Ji Linting's face faded away in an instant.
