I'm in Love at the Crime Scene 2
The light pink room is wrapped in the fresh and elegant fragrance of flowers. An exquisite hourglass is placed on the clean and tidy table. Golden powder falls down, and every drop is a trace of the passage of time.
A woman in a beige dress sat on a stool, patting the hand of another woman with disheveled hair lying on the sofa in a soothing manner.
When Gu Qingzhou and Shi Luochen arrived, they saw this scene. The woman on the sofa had a pale face, sunken cheeks, two big dark circles under her eyes, and faintly visible red scars.
The woman in the long dress heard the noise, raised her head, gestured to them to keep quiet, and led them to the next room.
"Hello, Doctor Bai. I am Shi Luochen, the person responsible for this girl's fall from the building. This is my assistant, Lin Yuqi."
A faint smile spread across Bai Yian's face, and he said softly, "Hello, I'm the whistleblower of this case—Bai Yian."
Shi Luochen nodded at her politely and was about to say something when a hysterical scream came from the next room.
The woman who had been sleeping peacefully was now huddled in a dark corner, her eyes filled with panic as she muttered, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, it's not me, it's not me..."
Gu Qingzhou's beautiful eyebrows twisted into a ball. She walked forward, bent down, and looked at the woman at eye level. "What's wrong with you?"
The moment the woman heard Gu Qingzhou's voice, she suddenly exerted force and pushed Gu Qingzhou away.
Gu Qingzhou lost his balance and took several steps back, before unexpectedly running into a warm embrace.
The faint scent of male hormones lingered at the tip of her nose, and the familiar touch made Gu Qingzhou stay where she was.
"Have you hugged me enough? Get up quickly." A cold voice came from above Gu Qingzhou's head. She raised her head, and when their eyes met, she saw the man's undisguised disgust and tense cheeks.
Gu Qingzhou complained in his heart, "Mr. Teasing," and then turned around, put his arms around Shi Luochen's waist, and rubbed his head against his shoulder. "Master Warden, I haven't hugged you enough!"
Her voice was lazy and had a hint of nonchalance.
Shi Luochen suppressed the throbbing that flashed across his eyes and pretended to push Gu Qingzhou away with force.
She rubbed her shoulders, pretending to be in pain, and said, "Mr. Warden, you really don't know how to be gentle with women~"
She paused, a faint smile stained her peach blossom eyes. "But I like it very much!"
This time, Shi Luochen didn't even give her a glance. He turned his head and whispered, "What's wrong with her?"
Bai Yian shook his head slightly, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Let her tell you herself!"
She squatted in front of the woman and patted her back gently. "It's okay, it's okay, Anran, don't be afraid."
After comforting him for an unknown amount of time, the woman called "An Ran" slowly raised her head and looked at Bai Yian with a dull look in her eyes. She clutched Bai Yian's hand tightly as if she were holding a lifeline. "It's not me! It really isn't me!"
"I believe you, Anran, I believe you," she said gently, "but just believing you won't do any good. Could you please tell me what happened before again, just once?"
As Bai Yian spoke, she took out a pocket watch from her pocket. She held it in front of An Ran and shook it gently.
The silver pocket watch swayed back and forth in front of An Ran, and she gradually fell into a deep sleep again...
Bai Yian placed An Ran on the sofa and whispered softly, "An Ran, today is your first day at university. Your dream of so many years has finally come true. You must be very happy..."
The gentle voice flowed slowly into Anran's nerves like a gurgling spring, and she gradually relaxed.
"You met your roommate in the dormitory, who will be living with you for four years. How is your relationship with him?"
An Ran spoke unconsciously, "Our dormitory is a four-person room. Besides me, there are Xiao Lan, Xiao Lu, and Xiao Zi."
"Xiao Zi and I have a good relationship. We don't have any lofty ambitions. We usually go to class together and do part-time jobs."
"Xiao Lan and Xiao Lu are very close. They went to the same elementary school, junior high school, and high school. They are both very beautiful and have very good tempers. Xiao Lan's dream is to become a dancer, and Xiao Lu hopes to become a popular star."
Before she knew it, An Ran suddenly said, "Although our university is in Area A, it has fewer restrictions than other universities. Top students from Area B can also be admitted."
At this point, she sighed, "Ah, but even though I've come to the university in District A, I still can't change the inferiority complex I have from District B. Among all of us students from District B, only Little Green and Little Blue are different. They shine like stars in the sky, while we are just dust on the ground. As long as they're around, no one will even look at me..."
Gu Qingzhou was used to doing whatever he wanted, and almost blurted out, "So, you're jealous of Xiaolu and Xiaolan's relationship!"
An Ran was silent for a moment, shaking her head excitedly. "Yes! I do envy and hate them, but I've never thought of hurting them! I never have!"
Her movements became more and more intense, as if she was about to wake up from hypnosis in the next second.
Bai Yian stepped forward and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay... We believe in you."
Shi Luochen on the side turned his head and glared at Gu Qingzhou fiercely.
Gu Qingzhou knew she was in the wrong, her eyes rolled around, and her slender fingers fiddled with the electronic collar around her neck.
"What happened next?" Bai Yian continued to ask after An Ran calmed down.
"Then..." An Ran's voice trembled slightly, a thin layer of cold sweat covering her face. "One night, Xiaolu suddenly walked onto the balcony. She climbed onto the railing, holding a clothes hanger, and muttered a speech of thanks for winning an award..."
"Acceptance speech." Bai Yian frowned. "Do you remember what he said specifically?"
"I don't remember exactly, but it seemed like he was thanking the fans for their support or something like that."
"What happened next?"
"Then, she took the microphone and walked down the railing step by step..."
"How did Xiao Zi and Xiao Lan react after this happened?" Shi Luochen pursed his thin lips, thoughtfully.
"Xiao Zi kept muttering that the dormitory was haunted and moved out the next day. Xiao Lan and I were also very uneasy, but we thought it might just be an accident and didn't take it seriously."
"result……"
"In a few days, Xiaolan also..." An Ran suddenly exerted force with both hands, holding the sofa tightly, and broken notes burst out from her mouth, which was indescribably harsh and weird in this empty room.
"Did Xiaolan do anything unusual before this?"
An Ran seemed to have thought of something, and kept muttering, "It's not me! It's not me! It has nothing to do with me!"
Shi Luochen walked quickly to her, clasped her shoulders with both hands, and asked, "What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? What did you do?"
There was an authority in his tone that could not be refused.
An Ran covered her head tightly with her hands, "I don't know! I don't know anything!"
Her struggles became more violent, and her cries became more terrified. Her long nails scratched her cheeks indiscriminately, and blood dripped from her healed wounds again.
After a while, she woke up from hypnosis, hugged her knees with her hands, there was some blood hidden in the cracks of her nails, she rested her head on her knees, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Gu Qingzhou looked at her twice, without saying a word, and followed Shi Luochen away.
Along the way, she kept her head down thinking about things and didn't notice that Shi Luochen, who was walking in front of her, had already stopped. She bumped into Shi Luochen's back.
She rubbed the tip of her nose, which was red from being hit, and glared at Shi Luochen with her misty peach blossom eyes. "Master Warden, next time you stop, could you please tell me?"
Shi Luochen's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked around and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
His voice was not as cold as before, but had a more magnetic quality.
Gu Qingzhou pinched her chin, looking as if she was thinking carefully. This also made her miss Shi Luochen's hand, which was already one centimeter away from her nose. "I think there is something wrong with An Ran."
"What do you mean?" Shi Luochen withdrew his hand unnoticeably, his voice light.
"When An Ran mentioned Little Green, his logic was rigorous and his observations were meticulous. However, when he mentioned Little Blue, he hesitated, as if he was about to speak, and kept repeating that he didn't kill her."
Gu Qingzhou paused, raised his head, and looked at Shi Luochen, as if seeking recognition. "But if she really didn't know, why would she say that for no reason without us questioning her? Don't you agree, Warden?"
The girl's frowning and thoughtful look was unprecedentedly serious, which made Shi Luochen slightly startled. His eyes shrank unconsciously, and the bottom of his eyes were dark and unclear, as dark as the bottom of the deep sea.
Shi Luochen nodded and added, "Well, and her original mental quality should be quite good. Otherwise, when Xiaolu had the accident for the first time, she would have moved out of the dormitory like Xiaozi did."
"That's right." Gu Qingzhou nodded in agreement. "Since she has a good mental state, why did she break down like this around Xiaolan?"
Shi Luochen spoke out her inner thoughts, "Unless something even more bizarre happened, or she did something, what role she played in this incident will be a crucial clue to this case."
Gu Qingzhou returned to his usual lazy and uninhibited self. "What a shame! She definitely won't say that out loud!"
Just when they were narrowing the case down to a dormitory conflict, a similar case occurred in another school.
