Chapter 26 Why...why do you want to be my guarantor?
The rooftop of Yunqing People's Hospital has never been so brightly lit.
Police officers in riot gear filled almost the entire rooftop, their guns all pointing in the same direction.
There stood a young man.
The boy is not good-looking by worldly standards, but he is memorable at first sight.
At this moment, his lips were tightly pursed, and his face and body were covered with blood. His raised arm was also injured, and the glaring blood stains half of his sleeve red.
"You are involved in the deaths of Su Min and Pan Rong. Please come back to the police station with us to assist in the investigation."
The boy's hands were handcuffed behind his back and he was taken away from the top floor.
No one noticed that on the top floor of the building opposite, a pair of eyes were silently watching all this.
Seeing the young man being pushed into the police car, her red lips raised, she put away the binoculars, leaped a few times, and her fiery figure quickly disappeared into the night.
30 minutes later, somewhere in the city.
A woman in a tight black dress, outlining her graceful figure, walked on a straight dark passage. Her high heels tapped rhythmically on the marble floor, accompanied by the "pop-pop-pop" sound of chewing gum breaking.
She walked to a door and stopped, then raised her hand and knocked on it.
There were intricate patterns on the door, like some ancient and mysterious totem.
"Come in." A voice came from the door.
The woman pushed the door open and walked in.
There were already three men in the room.
"You guys are really haunting us," the woman said, brushing her hair back and then looking at the person sitting in the center. "It's done."
The person in the center is in the darkest part of the room, and his true appearance cannot be seen. One can only tell from his voice that he is a man.
"The losses this time were significant; the entertainment industry was practically uprooted."
The man standing on the far left, with long blond hair and a youthful look, sneered, "The Special Investigation Bureau sent only a few interns. Anna spent so much time planning these troops, but they were defeated. Those old guys in the Special Investigation Bureau must be laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt."
It turned out that the woman who walked in was named Anna.
There was a gleam in her eyes, and she lifted her index finger slightly on her red lips. Such an ordinary action made the yellow-haired man's face change drastically, and he quickly dodged.
He shouted angrily, "Keep your damned threads away from me, you stupid she-spider!"
Anna placed her right hand on her heart and bowed to the person in the center. "The recent series of losses are indeed my fault. I accept your punishment. However, that intern's hands are stained with the blood of his biological parents. I'm afraid he can't save himself now."
She slowly raised the corners of her lips and said, "I will let the Special Investigation Bureau know that there will be a price to pay for disrupting our operations."
It was quiet for a long time.
A voice came from the center of the darkness again: "Get up. This time it's not just your problem."
"That intern should have died at birth. The fact that he survived was a mistake."
The color quickly drained from the yellow-haired man's face, his lips trembled, and he didn't even dare to defend himself.
After a long time, a voice came from above my head.
"Okay, the orphanages in China have been discovered, as well as those abroad. Let's shift the focus of this line to neighboring countries."
The few of them didn't dare to say anything more and left.
After leaving the room, they parted on bad terms.
Anna glared at the yellow-haired man fiercely, then returned to her room.
Her room was simply decorated. In the center was a huge bed of a rarely seen size, covered with white curtains. From a distance, it looked like a spider's nest.
Shadows moved deep beneath the bed curtains, like fluttering moths bound in spider silk.
Hearing the sound of high heels, the shadow fluttered faster.
"Can't wait?" Anna said with a smile.
She drew aside the bed curtains and met the shadow's frightened eyes.
The man was still wearing the suit he wore at the wedding, and his limbs were tied up with invisible silk threads. The sharp threads were deeply embedded in his flesh, and more blood oozed out of his limbs as he moved.
Tears blurred his makeup, making him look less attractive.
Anna clicked her tongue twice, quite disgusted.
She took a shower and lay back on the bed, ignoring the sobbing man and throwing herself completely into the steamy novel about one woman and multiple men—until some flying spit landed on her phone.
Anna raised her beautiful eyes and revealed a shocking smile.
"It seems you haven't learned how to be a competent toy yet."
The slender fingertips swayed freely in the air, like the freehand conducting style of a symphony orchestra.
The only difference is that the background music was replaced by human screams.
The man's hands and feet were completely twisted over, folded behind him at an impossible angle. He spat out blood foam from his mouth and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him in horror. The intense pain from his back almost obliterated his mind, but the fear of death kept him awake. He felt his neck being lifted, and at the same time, his lower legs were slowly lifted up.
Snap.
After a crisp sound, something was gently broken.
His eyes moved slowly, and out of the corner of his eye, he clearly saw his body folded in half.
"Ah——" He let out the last howl of his life, shrill and short.

The news of Li Xiaogou's arrest spread the next night.
Although all parties have tried hard to block the news, it cannot stop the people of Daxia from loving to watch the fun. From the top floor of the hospital to the police station, countless people were watching the fun along the way, but they were finally discovered - the person who was arrested was Li Xiaogou, who has been in the limelight recently.
[This is truly disrespectful of me. Even after working 996, I'm still cramming so much watermelon. Have you ever considered the feelings of this cow?!]
[There are two explosive stories like murder in our domestic entertainment industry. Everyone cried when they heard about it.]
"Do you think Jiang Cheng was killed by Li Xiaogou? Isn't that how it's written in the TV series? During the day, he's an ordinary forensic doctor in the city. At night, he transforms into a judge of justice, cleaning up the filth left in the unknown corners of the city... Didn't Li Xiaogou call himself a judge?"
[It's terrifying to think about it. Li Xiaogou was also at Jiang Cheng's wedding! I was puzzled at the time. They had no connection at all, so why would Jiang Cheng invite Li Xiaogou? And Jiang Cheng and Cheng Man were exposing each other's secrets and tearing each other apart. Isn't that a bit weird? Jiang Cheng and Cheng Man have the video. The most reasonable thing to do is to threaten each other and release it at the wedding, which would do them no good at all. But if it was Li Xiaogou who did it, everything makes sense...]
[Damn! What a huge game! I support Li Xiaogou!]
[What the hell? Even if Jiang Cheng is a two-timing scumbag, he doesn't deserve the death penalty, right? And what's the point of Li Xiaogou only killing Jiang Cheng and ignoring Cheng Man? You don't support gender equality, do you?]
[The crazy people above, get out! You're so crazy about this kind of social issue! Didn't you see the report? The sanitation worker who found Jiang Cheng's body was so frightened she fainted. Almost all of his bones were broken. He was over 5 feet tall, and when he was found, he was folded up and placed in a gift box. Is this a judgment? This is pure brutality!]
Your indignant discussion is a bit amusing. Li Xiaogou's arrest has nothing to do with Jiang Cheng, right? Last night, someone jumped from a building at XX Hospital. Li Xiaogou knew that person and was there. Rumor has it that the man who fell was his biological father, who abandoned him. The two had a disagreement, and Li Xiaogou accidentally pushed him down. Many people in the hospital witnessed it.
Although there are many different opinions online, most of the people who jumped out are certain: Li Xiaogou is finally finished this time.
But the fans did not give up.
When you use the word "finally" to describe a person's failure, it means that he must have failed countless times before.
Fans firmly believe in Li Xiaogou's character and expect that there will be a reversal in this matter.
At the same time, Li Xiaogou was sitting in the interrogation room of the police station.
Sitting opposite him was an acquaintance - the chief of the Yunqing District Police Station.
After not seeing him for a while, I found that the director had a lot more white hair on his head.
The man blew away the foam on his tea, took a sip, and then put the cup down with satisfaction before looking at Li Xiaogou. He smiled kindly and said, "I wanted to dig you up and bring you to our police station, but I didn't let you come here this way. Tell me, why did you do it?"
The man's words were not harsh, but having worked together before, Li Xiaogou would not be naive enough to think that he was an easygoing person.
Li Xiaogou didn't try to be friendly, but answered in a serious tone: "I knew they were in danger and went to save them, but I didn't attack them. It's a pity that I was a step too late. Su Min killed Pan Rong and then jumped to his death. I tried to save Su Min, but I couldn't hold him back."
He turned his wrist over and showed the man his wound.
Li Xiaogou's wound had been simply disinfected and bandaged. He used his teeth to peel off the bandages layer by layer, revealing the pink skin inside and the curled skin outside.
"This is the wound caused by the wall when I grabbed Su Min."
"So badly injured? Did you lose your strength in the end?"
"It was Su Min who pried my hands apart."
The man nodded and continued, following Li Xiaogou's words: "Su Min wanted to commit suicide, but when you caught him, Su Min didn't resist immediately. Instead, he let you hold him for a long time. Just when the police arrived, he had lost his will to live. Is Su Min very fickle?"
…
"Also, why did Su Min want to kill Pan Rong?"
"I don't know. I can't figure it out."
"Don't tell me you can't figure it out. Many people in the hospital can't figure it out either. After a round of investigation, everyone said that Pan Rong and Su Min are very loving. They are always polite to each other and never get angry while eating. The auntie serving food in the cafeteria is very impressed by Su Min. She said that there are not many old men these days who can remember their spouse's dietary restrictions so clearly."
"My staff checked the surveillance footage. When Su Min came upstairs, he was still carrying his lunch box. He and Pan Rong were talking and laughing. According to you, he suddenly became furious and wanted to kill Pan Rong as soon as he got to the rooftop?"
"Since you checked the surveillance footage, you should have seen that I went to the rooftop after a while and did not follow them." Li Xiaogou did not follow the man's words.
The man frowned. "We did check the surveillance footage, but we can't figure out. If you didn't follow them, how did you know they were on the rooftop and in danger?"
Li Xiaogou glanced at the police officer who was taking notes beside the man, then turned his gaze calmly to the man: "It was their son who told me. As for how he knew, you can ask Yunlou."
The man's eyes flickered slightly, and his experienced eyes narrowed.
Li Xiaogou thought that this was enough to clear his suspicion, but he didn't expect the man to slowly say, "It's a pity that the man named Sus has fallen into a coma and can't testify for you."
His eyes suddenly became sharp: "But there are your fingerprints on the weapon that killed Pan Rong, and there is her blood on you. Su Min's solar plexus was once attacked by external forces-"
He stood up and made a punching motion.
"Given Su Min's age, his solar plexus was suddenly struck by a grown man, causing him to flip over the wall and fall. Doesn't this make more sense?"
"There are my fingerprints on the weapon?" Li Xiaogou felt a chill down his spine.
He had not touched the weapon.
"Are there any fingerprints of Su Min?"
"No."
Men wouldn't lie to him, so there was only one possibility left - this was a premeditated frame-up against him.
Perhaps killing Pan Rong and Su Min was just a byproduct, and the real purpose was still to put him to death.
He repeatedly recalled the scene when Su Min took out his weapon.
Yes, at that time the cone-shaped weapon slipped between Su Min's fingers, and he held the thing and stabbed it into Pan Rong's neck!
"Useless," Su Min said these three words before he died.
In a previous meeting, Su Min had told him that the reason he was abandoned was because he had no special abilities.
No superpowers = useless?
Putting aside the rationality of this logic, are Su Min and Pan Rong so sure that they can give birth to a child with special powers?
Could it be that they plan to keep giving birth and throwing away babies until they give birth to a child with special powers?
I'm afraid that anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education would not do such a thing.
There is something behind them, something controlling them.
"We also discovered something very interesting. You had a matching test before going to the rooftop. Usually, this only happens between related people, so we tested your DNA with Pan Rong. I just got the test report."
"So, the final piece of the puzzle has been found. You have a motive for committing the crime."
"You were abandoned by Pan Rong and Su Min. You thought they were heartless and ungrateful, so you accepted it. But they treated Su Si very well and even begged you for him. You were jealous and crazy, so you pretended to agree to them, but in fact you were looking for an opportunity to kill them."
There are many methods of interrogation, and putting mental pressure on the person being interrogated is one of them.
The man said hurtful words to Li Xiaogou, and his eyes were fixed on him, not missing any change in Li Xiaogou's expression.
However, Li Xiaogou was not angered.
Even the voice of his voice did not fluctuate at all.
"Why should I be jealous? Just because Pan Rong and Su Min don't love me? Are they some kind of heartthrob? I'm rich and famous now, and many people love me. Compared to Su Si, I even have a healthy body. Just because of jealousy, I want to ruin all of this with my own hands?"
The man was speechless after being bombarded with questions by Li Xiaogou.
Indeed, it is unwise to do so.
He had worked with Li Xiaogou before. He was a thoughtful person and certainly not the type to be so emotional.
But...when it comes to being abandoned by parents, isn't that a bit too calm?
He was so calm as if he had been prepared.
The two of them were engaged in a silent mental game.
Just then—
"Director, someone's looking for you."
He doesn't have such inconsiderate people under his command, so the person outside must be an important person.
"Keep an eye on him." The man stood up and left.
The man outside the door was wearing a black suit. Although he was young, he exuded an air of old age. When he heard the door close, he turned around. His skin was pale, and the skin under his eyes was so thin that dark circles were clearly visible, as if he had not slept for several days and nights.
"Young man from the Yun family? What a rare guest. Come, come, come and sit in my office." The man greeted warmly.
"Uncle Wan, you're welcome. You know why I'm here."
The man put away his smile and said slowly, "Let me be frank. I have both witnesses and evidence. I can't let this man go."
The two men confronted each other.
The office was as quiet as a cicada. Apart from the director, no one knew the identity of this handsome man. But judging from his young age and the fact that he could rival the director in aura, he must be no simple man!
Yun Lou wasn't fazed by the man's confident tone. He said calmly, "The physical evidence isn't direct evidence. As for witnesses—no one saw Li Xiaogou physically assaulting the two. They only saw them arguing in a coffee shop. That's probably not strong evidence. On the contrary, many people downstairs in the hospital saw Li Xiaogou grab Su Min's hand and try to save him."
"At such a distance, and at night, who can tell who is grabbing or pushing away? Or maybe it's just a trick."
"Then please continue collecting evidence."
The two were in a standoff again.
The young and handsome man sighed softly: "Su Min and Pan Rong were involved in the case I was managing, so from now on, the case of their murder will officially be taken over by me."
The man clenched his back teeth and stared at Yunlou.
The youngsters whom he used to tease with candied haws have now become independent and capable.
"Hand him over to them," he whispered.
Everyone in the office was surprised and became more curious about Yunlou's origins.
After a while, Li Xiaogou was brought out.
He widened his eyes in slight surprise, thinking that the Special Investigation Bureau would come to rescue him, but he didn't expect Yunlou to come in person.
He followed Yunlou, feeling like he had a thorn in his back, with the inquiring gazes of the entire office staring at him from behind.
Just as Yunlou was about to leave, the man spoke up, "Power is like an iron weight—the tighter you hold it, the heavier the burden will be. Be careful or you'll break your spine one day."
Yunlou paused slightly, did not respond, and left the police station with Li Xiaogou.
On the way back, the two of them didn't communicate.
Li Xiaogou was immersed in his own thoughts, reviewing every detail of the whole incident, trying to find a breakthrough point.
Yunlou's eyes were closed, his breathing was even, and he looked like he was asleep.
When the car arrived at the Special Investigation Bureau, Tao Qi made a "hush" gesture and whispered, "Captain Yun hadn't slept for several days and was going back to rest, but something happened to you, and he rushed over to save you without even getting any sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunlou woke up.
Li Xiaogou watched him slowly wake up, and his defenseless expression finally looked a bit like that of a young man.
But it was only for a moment, and soon, Yunlou returned to normal.
Five minutes later, Yunlou office.
"I know it wasn't you."
Yun Lou said directly: "This matter involves a lot of things, and some of the confidentiality levels are too high. You are not authorized to know, but if you have any questions, you can ask me now. I will tell you everything I can answer."
Li Xiaogou thought for a moment and said seriously, "Why... do you want to be my guarantor?"
