Chapter 88 Something happened.
"That won't do. I can't let you do whatever you want. If something happens to you, neither Yan Yun nor I can take the responsibility." Han Liang shook his head.
"Besides, Jiang Ruohe did so much just to protect you. If anything happened to you, that kid would definitely go crazy."
"If you ever think of going there again, I'll knock you out today and lock you up here."
I looked at him carefully.
"Do you want more innocent people to die?"
"I don't want to, at least I can't let you die."
Han Liang put his hands on my shoulders.
"Xiao Wan, when Jiang Ruohe was with Cai Qing, he was mostly investigating Mu Yan. But Mu Yan was extremely cunning. He hid himself so well that Jiang Ruohe investigated for so long, but he didn't leave any clues."
I looked at Han Liang and said, "I think even the most cunning enemy would leave behind some clues. Could it be that Mu Yan is really an amazing person? He has done so many evil things that there is no way he wouldn't have any clues at all."
"Then how did you come to suspect Mu Yan?" I asked again.
Han Liang said that because the only thing the deceased had in common was Cai Qing, they initially suspected Cai Qing, but the three seriously injured people and Han Liang all had hallucinations before the accident.
"I figured this opponent was probably a psychologist. Caiqing had been studying fashion design, and she had an alibi when the incident happened. Mu Yan studied psychology during the three years Caiqing was abroad, and even earned a master's degree in psychology."
"I've looked into Caiqing and Mu Yan's information and discovered that they are not biological siblings. Caiqing was adopted by Mu Yan's parents, and Mu Yan treats Caiqing very well. Especially when Caiqing was kidnapped at the age of twelve. Since then, Mu Yan has been very protective of Caiqing, and he really doesn't let her get bullied at all."
Han Liang looked up at me.
"I suspect that Mu Yan likes Cai Qing, and the degree of his liking for her has reached an extreme state. He believes that anyone who bullies Cai Qing must pay the price."
"To confirm my suspicions, I harassed Cai Qing and even sent police officers to follow her. I discovered nothing unusual about her. But not long after I started harassing her, something happened to me."
"Do you remember? When I was hiding in your trunk, I heard Mu Yan's voice."
I remembered that day, when I went to see Wang Yingzhi and was scolded by Jiang Ruohe. As I was about to leave the hospital, Mu Yan stopped me, peered into my car, and chatted with me casually. At that time, Mu Yan must have been looking for Han Liang.
So they identified Mu Yan as the suspect.
Now I also suspect that it was him. He must have changed my pregnancy-preserving medicine because of Cai Qing, causing me to lose the baby.
"Well, why am I telling you so much? You can't take the risk anyway. Think about it, I'm a police officer and a psychiatrist, and I almost died. Can you catch him if you go there?"
Han Liang patted my shoulder.
"If you go, you'll just be making a meaningless sacrifice. Jiang Ruohe loves you so much, he'll definitely go crazy."
I looked up and tilted my head to look at Han Liang.
"Do you think he loves me?"
"Of course I love you. You don't know, but Yan Yun and I know. He has done a lot for you. I can't do something like that, even if it means pushing you down to someone else to protect you."
I actually felt that Jiang Ruohe liked me, so I wanted to ask Han Liang how much he loved me in the eyes of others.
"But I don't want to be separated like this anymore." I looked up at Han Liang with some resentment.
Han Liang moved the chair and sat down, looked at me, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Once we catch Mu Yan, you can be together. Believe me, it will be quick."
I rolled my eyes at him. They didn't even have a plan. All they were doing was delaying tactics, and more than ten people were already dead.
"The law is strict and we will catch him eventually." Han Liang looked at me.
I looked away. I didn't want to wait like this. I already had other plans in mind. When Han Liang saw that my face looked wrong, he immediately stood up from the chair.
"Yu Xiaowan, you can't have such petty thoughts. You are causing trouble for us."
Han Liang said that Jiang Ruohe was now dealing with the affairs of Beicheng. When he left, he asked Han Liang and Yan Yun to protect me well. If he came back and found that I had lost my life in an impulsive act, the consequences could be imagined.
"If you like him too, you'll just have to endure it."
I lowered my eyes dejectedly. I originally thought that I could endure it, but when I knew that it was Mu Yan who changed my medicine, I seemed unable to control the impulse in my heart. I also knew that they were all doing this for my own good, but I really didn't want to wait like this any longer.
"Yan Yun, you've come just in time. We can't hide it anymore. Come and persuade Xiao Wan."
Han Liang called out to Yan Yun who was standing at the door. Yan Yun walked in slowly and said that he had heard the conversation between us just now.
"Then why didn't you come in at that time and eavesdropped there for so long?" Han Liang looked at Yan Yun.
"After hearing your conversation just now, I thought of another thing. It seems we overlooked something."
Yan Yun was lost in thought, and Han Liang and I didn't bother him any further.
After waiting for a while, Yan Yun suddenly looked up at Han Liang and asked him to take out the document. Han Liang nodded and hurriedly handed the document under the pillow to Yan Yun.
After Yan Yun took it, he sat on the chair and flipped through the pages one by one. He flipped through them many times. Han Liang, who was waiting beside him, was a little anxious. He whispered to me, saying that he had flipped through the document several times every day, but had not found any new clues.
As soon as Han Liang finished speaking, Yan Yun closed the document with a look of joy in his eyes.
"Brother, could it be that you have discovered any new clues?" Han Liang asked.
Yan Yun stood up and suddenly looked at me. He said it was thanks to what I said before.
His words left me a little confused.
"Which one?"
Yan Yun said, don’t tell me for now.
"Xiao Wan, actually there is something I hid from you before."
Yan Yun said that when Shen Xiuting and her men bullied me before, it was Jiang Ruohe who called the police. Later, Jiang Ruohe came to find Yan Yun and told him not to tell me about this.
"I didn't agree at the time. I felt I shouldn't lie, but he made an attractive offer."
Jiang Ruohe knew that Yan Yun had a difficult case on his hands and the suspects were Mu Yan and Cai Qing, so he was willing to help.
"Since you already know this, why don't the three of us sit down and study this case together." Yan Yun looked at me.
Han Liang looked at Yan Yun in surprise.
"Yan Yun, are you crazy? We asked Xiaowan to join us in the research, but you know that she actually wanted to be the bait. Isn't the Huang Ping incident a lesson for us?"
"If Jiang Ruohe only knew that Xiaowan and I were involved in this, you wouldn't be afraid of Jiang Ruohe skinning you alive."
"That's because we might have..."
Yan Yun didn't say anything else, just asked us to sit down.
Yan Yun placed the closed document on the small round table, opened it again, and flipped through a few pages.
"Look at this deceased person. How long is the interval between him and the next deceased person?"
Han Liang said it was three years.
"Haven't we considered this issue before?" Han Liang looked at Yan Yun puzzledly.
"Cai Qing went abroad for the past three years, and Mu Yan had to stay in the hospital, so he couldn't do these things. So when Cai Qing returned, he went on a killing spree again." Yan Yun looked at us and stopped talking. The room suddenly became quiet, and then fell into a strange silence.
After a long while, I looked at Yan Yun. Just as I was about to express my doubts, Han Liang spoke first.
"What do you mean?" Han Liang suddenly realized what was happening and went out with his cell phone.
Han Liang had been on the phone for half an hour and still hadn't come in. I took the documents on the small round table and looked through them again, then looked up at Yan Yun.
"I want to take this risk, regardless of whether you agree or not, and whether you tell Jiang Ruohe or not, I want to go."
Yan Yun looked at me, his eyes struggling for a long time.
"The nature of this case is extremely bad."
After a while, Han Liang came in and whispered a few words into Yan Yun's ear.
Yan Yun hummed, looked up at me, and the struggle in his eyes deepened.
"You don't want Xiaowan to take risks, do you? I don't agree." Han Liang sat down and shook his head firmly.
I looked at Han Liang.
"No one is more suitable than me. Now you are more confident, why not take a gamble?"
I told Han Liang that there were only three of us in the basement now, and we raised our hands to vote. I raised my hand first, and Yan Yun raised his hand after hesitation.
"Xiao Wan, even if I die, I will protect your safety. I will never let you get hurt." Yan Yun looked at me.
Han Liang looked at Yan Yun in frustration.
"You promised me that when Jiang Ruohe comes looking for you, don't say I didn't help you."
After spending another hour in the basement, I looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening and I hadn't had dinner yet.
"I haven't eaten either." Han Liang took a bite of a banana and looked at Yan Yun and me with some resentment.
"I'll go up and do it for you."
When I went upstairs, Aunt Liu was sitting on the sofa waiting for me. I looked very sorry.
"Seeing how anxious you were and how long you hadn't been up, I knew you had something important to discuss. I've prepared the food and wanted to send it down to you, but my legs aren't very convenient. You can just go to the kitchen and heat it up."
I looked at Aunt Liu with some gratitude and said thank you.
Now he sent Liu Ma upstairs, went down to the kitchen, took the dishes on the table into the kitchen to heat them up, took a basket, put the food in it, and brought it to the basement.
"So fast?" Han Liang quickly put down the apple he was chewing.
I looked at Han Liang with regret.
"Auntie Liu prepared the food in advance. I just heated it up. Sorry to have made you hungry."
"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry."
I took out the food and dishes, and seeing Yan Yun was still thinking about the specific steps, I handed him the chopsticks.
"After dinner, let's think about it together."
I don't want to make any unnecessary sacrifices, so before that, I must be well prepared.
Yan Yun nodded at me and took the chopsticks from my hand.
Early the next morning, I went to the Jiang family's old house. When I arrived at the yard, Jiang Nianhao and Tian Rong had just arrived. Tian Rong glanced at me, a barely noticeable smile flashed across her eyes, and then she took Jiang Nianhao's wrist, and the two of them went into the house first.
I opened the trunk and took out the supplements that my grandfather and I bought. Just as I was about to go into the house, I heard the sound of a car driving into the yard. I turned around and saw it was Cai Qing.
Cai Qing parked the car and got out. When she saw me, she was stunned for a moment, then walked towards me.
"Xiao Wan, I heard that Grandpa Jiang was sick, so I came to see him."
Before I could say anything, Tian Rong came out of the house excitedly and took Cai Qing's hand.
"Caiqing, you're here."
Then, he took Caiqing into the house.
Looking at Tian Rong's expression, I knew that she must have informed Cai Qing and asked Cai Qing to come over just to create a conflict between Cai Qing and me.
When Butler Chen saw Cai Qing coming, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at me. I shook my head and said it was okay, and let Butler Chen go and take care of his own business.
I went into the house and put the supplements on the table. I was about to go upstairs to find my grandfather, but Tian Rong and Cai Qing went ahead.
"My dad said he missed you a lot these past few days." Tian Rong said to Cai Qing as they went upstairs.
Seeing Caiqing going up, I stopped, went into the kitchen to make a few cups of tea, and walked to the sofa and handed a cup to Jiang Nianhao who was looking at his mobile phone.
Ever since he married Tian Rong, Jiang Nianhao felt a little uncomfortable every time he saw me. He glanced at me and took the cup of tea from my hand.
"Xiao Wan, your sister and I are truly in love, but there must be some misunderstandings between you and your sister. Why don't you find some time to talk to each other?"
I lowered my eyes, with more sarcasm in them. What he said was a bit unnecessary.
Maybe Jiang Nianhao and Tian Rong are truly in love, but how could it be such a simple misunderstanding between Tian Rong and me? She is the murderer of my father, but Jiang Nianhao is not aware of it.
Besides, he knew that Tian Rong hated me so much. It wasn't that he didn't want to help Tian Rong, but he was just waiting for an opportunity. He was talking to me so calmly now, just because he wanted me to have no guard against him. When the time came, he would definitely take action against me and catch me off guard.
I wouldn’t be fooled by Jiang Nianhao, I looked up at him.
"There's no need to talk about anything between Tian Rong and me."
Jiang Nianhao's face looked a little gloomy. I glanced at him, turned around and went upstairs with a few cups of brewed wine.
When I arrived at the study, I heard Tian Rong talking to Grandpa.
"Dad, look how nice Caiqing is. She came to see you right away when she knew you were sick."
Grandpa glanced at Tian Rong, then turned to Cai Qing and smiled, saying that it was a minor illness and there was no need for her to come over to visit her.
"Grandpa Jiang, I'm not busy these days, and it's boring to stay at home."
I walked in with tea, gave one cup to Caiqing, and placed another cup on grandpa's desk, then turned to look at Tian Rong.
"Sister, I heard that pregnant women should drink less tea, so I made you a cup of milk." I handed the cup of milk to Tian Rong.
Tian Rong glanced at me, reached out to take the glass of milk and started drinking it.
After waiting for a while, Caiqing probably felt it was a bit awkward for the three of us to be standing in Grandpa's study, so she looked at Grandpa.
"Grandpa, you need to go out for a walk more often. I'll go out for a walk with you."
After Caiqing helped grandpa downstairs, Tian Rong and I went downstairs together.
"Yu Xiaowan, if I were you, I would leave immediately. Now Caiqing is here, and she is Jiang Ruohe's girlfriend. Don't you feel embarrassed that your ex-wife is here?" Tian Rong turned and looked at me.
I ignored her and took the tray and quilt into the kitchen. Seeing that I didn't respond, Tian Rong wanted to follow me, but was stopped by Jiang Nianhao.
"Something happened at the company, so I have to go back. You..." Jiang Nianhao lowered his voice and said something to Tian Rong, but I didn't hear it.
"Okay, I'll pay attention and wait for you to come back."
When I came out of the kitchen, Tian Rong had just seen Jiang Nianhao off. At this moment, only Tian Rong and I were left in the living room. I walked over to the sofa, sat down, and turned on the TV remote control.
Seeing that I ignored her, Tian Rong walked over angrily.
"Yu Xiaowan, why are you so shameless?"
I looked up at Tian Rong with amusement.
"Why am I so shameless?"
"Jiang Ruohe doesn't like you anymore, yet you still run to the Jiang family to take care of Grandpa, hoping to win Grandpa's sympathy and get back into the Jiang family. Don't dream on, Jiang Ruohe and Cai Qing are on good terms now!"
I reached out and picked up a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them, then looked up at Tian Rong.
"When did you start worrying so much?"
I glanced at her belly.
"Don't you feel a little stomachache when you're angry?"
Tian Rong was startled and looked up at me.
"Yu Xiaowan, what do you mean? Did you put drugs in that glass of milk?"
I ignored her and stood up to go upstairs. Tian Rong held me back and asked me to explain myself clearly. I happened to see Cai Qing coming back for some reason, so I quickly turned around and slapped Tian Rong in the face. She was stunned by the slap.
"Yu Xiaowan, what are you doing?" Cai Qing let go of her grandfather's wrist and hurried over.
Tian Rong was originally filled with anger, but when she saw Cai Qing coming, she started crying out of grievance.
"I don't know how I offended her, and she suddenly hit me?"
"Yu Xiaowan, how could you do this?" Cai Qing looked at me angrily.
"Then why don't you ask me why I did it?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at Cai Qing.
"I kindly poured her a glass of milk, but she suspected that I had drugged her. If you met someone like that, would you be angry too?" I looked at Cai Qing.
"It was you who said..."
"I was just kindly reminding you that a pregnant woman's bad mood can cause stomach pain, and asked you to be more careful, but I didn't expect you to doubt me."
Tian Rong stared at me intently, probably because she didn't expect me to bite back at her.
"Besides, this is the Jiang family. Even if I don't like you as my sister, I wouldn't dare drug you. If I do, I won't be able to escape."
"Even if Tian Rong misunderstood you, she is a pregnant woman. You shouldn't hit her." Cai Qing looked at me.
"That's my business, you don't have to worry about it."
I glanced at Caiqing, turned around and went upstairs. I was sure that Tian Rong would tell Caiqing that I beat her because she called Caiqing over and I didn't like her, so I found an excuse to beat Tian Rong.
Sure enough, two minutes after I went upstairs, Caiqing came upstairs and called me in the corridor.
"Xiao Wan, if you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me. There's no need to take it out on others."
I looked at Cai Qing for a few seconds.
"Well, since you already know everything, I won't hide it from you. I hit Tian Rong because of you. Mu Caiqing, please leave Jiang Ruohe."
"Why do you want me to leave him?" Cai Qing looked at me coldly.
"Yu Xiaowan, you've already divorced him. And your girlfriend has already passed away. Now you turn around and ask me to leave Jiang Ruohe, isn't that a bit too much?"
I smiled faintly and said something was excessive.
"The reason I asked you to leave Jiang Ruohe is simply because I still feel that I have feelings for him. He is still in my heart, and I want you to leave him."
"Impossible. Yu Xiaowan, you should know that what is lost cannot be regained." Cai Qing looked at me with some annoyance.
I snorted coldly and walked to Caiqing's side.
"If that's the case, then blame me. Don't be polite."
At this time, I saw Tian Rong supporting her grandfather upstairs. It seemed that she wanted to argue with me, but Cai Qing hated my close-range threat and reached out to push me away.
I pretended to fall to the ground. When my grandfather saw me fall, he hurried over.
"Xiaowan. What's wrong with you?" Grandpa asked me with concern.
I got up from the ground and looked up at Caiqing. Although I didn't say that it was Caiqing who did it, my grandfather and Tian Rong should have seen it.
Cai Qing looked at me with resentment, her hands unconsciously clenched.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. Caiqing didn't push me down on purpose." I looked up and smiled at my grandpa.
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Dad." Tian Rong saw that grandpa still treated me like this, and called him unwillingly.
Grandpa turned his head to look at Tian Rong's face.
"I guess Xiaowan hit you accidentally, just like Caiqing didn't mean to push Xiaowan down. Just be more careful next time."
Cai Qing's face naturally looked bad, and she looked at me with some resentment.
Tian Rong wanted to say something, but seeing that her grandfather's face had turned gloomy, she naturally said nothing and found an excuse to go downstairs with Cai Qing.
After they came downstairs, I looked at grandpa.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I did it on purpose."
"I know."
I looked at him in some surprise.
"The study said."
I helped my grandfather into the study and locked the door.
Grandpa turned on the computer on his desk and entered the password. He showed me the video of the first-floor living room, where Tian Rong was asking Cai Qing about the situation.
"Yu Xiaowan is really vicious. She deliberately fell in front of Dad to give Dad a bad impression of you. Dad is also like that. In a few seconds, I was fooled by her."
Tian Rong covered her face and said it hurt so much.
Cai Qing looked at Tian Rong with some apology and said sorry.
"If she hadn't wanted to target me, you wouldn't have been beaten."
Tian Rong took Cai Qing's hand, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
"I'm fine, I just can't stand the way Yu Xiaowan bullies you."
He deceived Cai Qing in the same way as he deceived Huang Minwei, saying a lot of bad things about me and even brought up the incident where I drugged Jiang Ruohe and Chen Xi's accident.
"Really? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Of course, you returned home late, so of course you didn't know. She divorced Jiang Ruohe. That was because she cheated first."
Cai Qing said, "So that's how it is. I used to think of her as a friend, but I never thought she was that kind of person."
Coincidentally, Jiang Ruohe came back at this moment. When I saw him in the video, my eyes suddenly became red.
Grandpa locked the computer and didn't ask why I suddenly treated Caiqing and Tianrong like this. He just asked me to open the study door.
After a while, Jiang Ruohe came up and was stunned when he saw me standing next to my grandfather.
"Why are you here?" He frowned at me.
Grandpa said, "I asked Housekeeper Chen to let Xiaowan take care of me for two days."
"Starting tomorrow, I'll let Caiqing take care of you. Caiqing happens to be downstairs, I'll go talk to her later."
If Jiang Ruohe had said this before, I would have felt bad, but now, I knew he was doing this for my own good, so in order to prevent him from noticing, I pretended to feel a little bad.
Seeing Jiang Ruohe say this, Grandpa didn't say anything, but just asked how the matter in Beicheng was handled.
"I brought my aunt back. She is now at Yichen's place. As for the branch office..." Jiang Ruohe glanced at me.
"No matter how much money is offered, the other party refuses to agree."
Grandpa sighed.
"If I had known this earlier, I never would have thought that Xiaoting would be so self-destructive and actually become addicted to drugs. Let's discuss it with Yichen and decide whether to send her to a drug rehabilitation center."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Ruohe went downstairs.
I stayed upstairs with my grandfather for a while. At around ten o'clock, I went downstairs to cook. When I got downstairs, Jiang Ruohe was talking to Caiqing. They seemed very happy.
Tian Rong was sitting on the other side of the sofa. When she saw me coming downstairs, a hint of pride flashed across her eyes.
"Caiqing, this bracelet Ruohe gave you is really beautiful."
I didn't say anything and went straight into the kitchen to start preparing food.
When I was cooking, Tian Rong took the opportunity to pour water and made me jealous.
"Yu Xiaowan, look, they are so good now, don't be so delusional."
Seeing that I looked pale, Tian Rong happily left.
Half an hour later, several people sat at the dining table and started eating. At the table, Jiang Ruohe deliberately told Cai Qing to help take care of grandpa for the next two days.
I stopped what I was doing and said, "That's fine. I have to go to work tomorrow and can't come."
Tian Rong gave me a sarcastic look, as if to say, I'm really good at finding a way out.
After dinner, Caiqing offered to wash the dishes, and I didn't refuse.
At this moment, Grandpa and Tian Rong were sitting on the sofa, and Jiang Ruohe went upstairs. While Tian Rong wanted to get closer to Grandpa and chat, I also went upstairs.
When I entered the room, Jiang Ruohe was taking off his sweater. When he saw me come in, he was stunned for a moment, his face frowned, and he wondered why I came in.
I smiled at him, walked slowly towards Jiang Ruohe, and stood in front of him.
"I came, of course, because I missed you."
I reached out to touch his face, but he grabbed my wrist.
"Yu Xiaowan, can you please stop being such a bitch?"
I wasn't angry. Instead, I smiled and didn't let Jiang Ruohe let go.
"Haven't you always known that I'm such a bitch?"
I stretched out my left hand again and stroked Jiang Ruohe's chest.
"Yu Xiaowan."
As soon as he finished speaking, I put my left arm around his neck and kissed him. Jiang Ruohe was stunned for a moment, then pushed me away and looked at me with a cold face.
"Jiang Ruohe, I know you like Cai Qing now, but I'm a selfish person. I find that I still have some feelings for you. You also know my character. You'd better take the initiative to leave Cai Qing, otherwise, I will deal with Cai Qing."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Ruohe looked at me coldly, suppressing the anger in his eyes.
I didn't say anything else, turned around, walked out of Jiang Ruohe's room, and into the corridor, I saw Cai Qing standing outside the door. Cai Qing looked at me resentfully. I smiled faintly at her and silently told her that she couldn't get what I couldn't get.
I went downstairs and told my grandfather that I had something to do and had to go back first. Caiqing was here and would take good care of him.
After I drove out of the Jiang family's old house, I called Yan Yun shortly afterwards.
"Jiang Ruohe is back."
"What should we do then?" Yan Yun asked me.
"Now that we're all prepared, we can't back down. Help me hold Jiang Ruohe back tonight."
After I drove the car back home, I went into the basement and discussed with Han Liang. At 7 o'clock in the evening, I was about to go out. When I was about to go out, Han Liang put a pair of headphones in my ears and asked me to let my hair down.
"Be sure to be safe. If you have hallucinations, I will guide you slowly."
I nodded and went out alone.
I walked around outside, bought myself some clothes, had a cup of milk tea in the store, and then walked on my way home.
It was almost ten o'clock, and there were few passers-by. A woman handing out flyers handed me one. I took it and looked down. It was an advertisement for a clinic, but I found it a bit boring. When I reached the next intersection, I put the flyer in the trash can and continued walking.
After walking for a few minutes, I suddenly stopped and found that the scene on the road had changed. I saw my father lying on the sofa, twitching constantly, while Tian Rong and Shen Xiuting were feeding my father medicine.
"Old man, hurry up and go. Once you go, we'll have the five million insurance money, and then we'll be rich."
He knew in his heart that he was hallucinating, but he couldn't convince himself and stared at Shen Xiuting and Tian Rong.
My father was still twitching, with blood slowly oozing out from the corners of his mouth, but Tian Rong and Shen Xiuting still refused to give up.
"Mom, when this old man dies, we'll cut his body into pieces and throw it into the river..."
It was obviously fake. But his mind couldn't stop staring at Tian Rong.
Suddenly, a voice popped up in my head. It was very magical. It said, "Go kill Tian Rong."
I tried hard to shake my head, but my hand took out a small knife from my bag. That knife was the one I always used for self-defense.
I saw my father being dragged into the kitchen by Tian Rong and Shen Xiuting. They were planning to dismember my father's body.
At that moment I rushed over and pushed Tian Rong away.
Tian Rong looked at me with some panic, saying something that I couldn't hear clearly. The voice came to my mind again.
"Kill her, kill her."
My hands were struggling, but I saw Tian Rong still trying to drag my father's body.
At that moment, I really felt like I was crazy. I stabbed Tian Rong with a knife again and again, and her blood sprayed on my face.
At that time, I only heard people around me shouting "Murder". I came to my senses and found myself still on the road, with a fruit knife in my hand stained with blood.
A sanitation worker collapsed beside me, covered in blood. Next to him sat another sanitation worker, and next to him was a sack of garbage.
Then I suddenly realized that I had mistook a bag of garbage for my father and the two sanitation workers for Tian Rong and Shen Xiuting.
"Murder, murder." The man lying on the ground looked at me in fear.
I was completely bewildered and hurriedly ran into the alley. I was terrified and panicked. I hadn't caught Mu Yan, but I had killed an innocent person because of a hallucination. What should I do? What should I do?
I was like a headless chicken, running through several alleys, not knowing how long I had been running, and before I knew it, I had already run to the river.
At this time, my mind began to become more and more dizzy, and the voice in my heart began to rise again.
"Yu Xiaowan, you killed someone."
I was panicking and asked her what to do.
"Are you feeling guilty and scared? You know that killing someone means paying with one's life. See that river ahead? If you walk down it, all your suffering will be resolved." "Go quickly."
The voice drove me and made me walk into the river step by step.
After walking a few steps, I stopped. The voice was urging me on.
Seeing that I was unmoved, the voice became anxious.
"You're not going, right? I'll give you a ride." This voice really reached my ears.
Then there was a loud bang and a heavy sound of something falling to the ground not far behind me.
I turned around and saw the man kneeling on the ground with a gun in his hand.
Han Liang brought his men to surround the man. Han Liang walked towards me and asked me if I was okay.
"Is your colleague okay?"
"It's okay. I'm covered in tomato juice. I can only say that I was frightened by your fierce look."
On the road I walked on, all the passers-by were police officers in disguise, except for one person, the aunt handing out flyers.
As soon as I received the flyer, I knew there was something wrong with it.
"No wonder, those people who gave things to the deceased before, such as newspapers, magazines, business cards, etc., should have been manipulated unconsciously. Therefore, we did not detect any suspicion." This is what Han Liang told me in the headset.
"If Yan Yun hadn't discovered the problem in time, we wouldn't have known that the murderer wasn't Mu Yan."
Han Liang patted my shoulder.
"You know what? Yan Yun said that it was your words yesterday that reminded him. You said that no matter how cunning a person is, it is impossible for him not to leave behind any clues. This only proves that the person we are investigating is not the real murderer."
I hummed and walked towards the man surrounded by the police.
