The sad truth
After suffering successive blows both physically and mentally, Chao Rirou could no longer bear it and fainted in Yue Lanxiu's arms.
Although he was sent to the hospital, he was listed as a major suspect. The door of the ward was guarded by police and no one was allowed to enter without permission!
When Asahiro woke up, she was not surprised to find herself in this situation. She sat on the bed with her legs crossed, her gaze drifting out the window in deep thought.
Who is framing her? Is it really Yan Mingchi?
Who else but him could kill Luosha's apprentice and then pin the blame on her?!
Had he really been resurrected in someone else's body like she had? Whose body would he be in now?
There was a knock on the door, interrupting her thoughts, and then it was Xu Rongxuan who pushed the door open.
He was able to come in as a police officer investigating a case.
"You must be disappointed not to see Xiu! Because of your special relationship, the higher-ups won't let him get involved in your case. But don't worry, this won't stop him from rescuing you!" Xu Rongxuan looked at her with a rare serious look. He paused for a few seconds before adding, "I just hope you don't disappoint him!"
It was obvious that Xu Rongxuan did not trust her as much as Yue Lanxiu. Chao Rirou did not care and thought his reaction was normal.
"Let's talk business!" Xu Rongxuan pulled a chair and sat beside her bed. He didn't want to waste time and got straight to the point, "What were you doing between 11 and 12 last night?" The five victims were killed during this period.
11 o'clock - Asahirou still remembers this time very clearly. It was the time when Luosha's disciples broke into her house. The reason why she knew it so clearly was that she learned about it from the surveillance video after the incident.
They entered quietly at 11 o'clock, so why did the alarm system not respond at all? This is a question worth pondering.
After that, they hid somewhere, seemingly waiting for further instructions, but unexpectedly, they waited for death!
The Grim Reaper had a similar build to her, the same long hair, and the same pajamas. His moves were exactly the same as hers... Anyone watching the surveillance video would have thought it was her! Even she was confused for a moment, wondering if she was sleepwalking or being drugged.
Fortunately, the time displayed on the surveillance camera gave her a wake-up call, making her realize instantly that the person in the video was definitely not her, but someone else impersonating her!
When those people were killed, she was suffering from morning sickness and was having a date with the toilet in the bathroom! In that state, she was only destined to be killed, so how could she have the energy to kill?
The answer to who the real murderer is is obvious. While many people may be able to imitate her appearance, there are only a handful of people who can achieve such a lifelike martial arts skill. It's likely that only the person who taught her this martial art could do it, and that's Yan Mingchi!
"I was not feeling well last night and went back to my room to sleep early, but I woke up in the middle of the night because I wanted to vomit. I stayed in the bathroom for a long time. When I came out of the bathroom, I casually looked at the time. It was around 11:30. When I returned to bed and prepared to continue sleeping, someone broke into my room!" Asahirou said truthfully.
"Who is it?" Xu Rongxuan thought to himself, if what she said was true, it couldn't be the deceased and his friends who broke into her room, because they had already been murdered at that time.
"The deceased's fellow disciple, ranked eighth, is usually called Lao Ba."
Xu Rongxuan frowned. "You mean, there were six of them in total? Five were killed. Where did the other one go? Did he escape? So far, no one has mentioned this person except you."
Asahirou was sure, "It's probably going to be very dangerous!"
"What did he do when he broke into your room?" Xu Rongxuan stared at her face closely, not wanting to miss any subtle expression.
"Blood debt must be paid with blood! Those were the only words he uttered."
"From what I understand, he's no match for you! He can't kill you!" Xu Rongxuan couldn't help but question the truth of her words. If there were six of them, why was he the only one to break into the target's room? Isn't that strange?
"That's right! Under normal circumstances, when there was nothing wrong with my body, even ten Lao Bas might not be my match. But since I became pregnant, my health has been getting worse and worse. Considering my condition yesterday, it is not impossible for him to kill me!" When she said this, Chao Rirou was still in shock. She really thought that she would be killed by Lao Ba!
"So why are you still sitting here?" Xu Rongxuan's sharp eyes seemed to penetrate her heart.
Zhao Rirou met his gaze meaninglessly. "I don't know either. I started fighting him, and I was clearly struggling. He knocked me out after just a few moves! I actually thought I was going to be killed, but I never expected I'd just be knocked unconscious! At first, I couldn't figure it out, but then I started to understand!"
"Oh? I can't understand it either. If he came to kill you, why did he let you go when you had no ability to resist? Tell me about it!"
"After I was knocked unconscious, Lao Ba should have continued to kill me, because he came here to kill me in the first place, there was no reason for him to just knock me out and be done with it! There is only one possibility as to why he didn't kill me, that is, he couldn't kill me anymore. Why? Because another person appeared, and that person was here to kill him! Why didn't he kill me as well? Because that person just needed me to take the blame for him!" Chao Rirou thought that the other party was afraid that she would die too easily, so he wanted to torture her slowly to death!
"Are you saying the real murderer actually killed six people? But we searched your mansion thoroughly last night, and there's no sixth body. Not to mention a body, Old Eighth wasn't even seen on any of the surveillance footage! How did he come and go without a trace?" Don't blame him for not being able to trust her. With so many questions before him, it was hard for him to convince himself. "You said someone impersonated you, but the surveillance footage shows only the five dead intruders, no other outsiders! If you rule out outsiders, it only means your own internal forces have already been compromised! But do you know something?"
Zhao Rirou frowned, "What's the matter?" From his stern eyes, she could tell that this matter would be very disadvantageous to her.
"Last night, the people who stayed at the mansion were you, Siyueying, Yilin, the servants, and the bodyguards. Except for you, everyone else was drugged with sleeping pills!" The wrinkles between her brows deepened, but she didn't look too surprised, as if she had known about the sleeping pills for a long time. Could it be that she was the one who drugged them?!
Xu Rongxuan tried his best to calm himself and continued, "According to their descriptions, they were all extremely sleepy last night and slept very soundly. It's not unusual for one person to be like this, but it's strange for so many people to be in this state. We have to wonder if they were given sleeping pills, so we tested them, and the results were exactly as we suspected. We detected sleeping pills in their bodies! We also tested you, but the results are not favorable to you!"
"I don't have that kind of stuff in my body, right?" Asahirou speculated calmly, "I think there must be something wrong with dinner!"
"Didn't you have dinner?"
"I ate it, but I vomited it all after just a few bites. In the end, I had no appetite to eat anymore. I guess that's because there is no sleeping pill in my body!" Asahirou said in self-defense.
"You don't seem very surprised that someone secretly gave you sleeping pills!" Xu Rongxuan chose to ask directly.
"I guessed it a long time ago." Zhao Rirou recounted the situation in detail. "After I was knocked unconscious, it was my cat who licked me awake. Do you believe it?"
"Just don't say it was the real murderer who licked you awake!"
"After I found out that I was not dead, I was surprised and thought of Sakura and the others. I was very worried about their safety, so I ran to find them immediately. I knocked on her door for a long time but there was no response. In desperation, I broke the door open!" After breaking the door, she was so tired that she fell to the ground. "The door was banged loudly, but she still didn't respond. I almost called an ambulance. Fortunately, I finally woke her up by patting and shaking her! When I asked her what was wrong, she just said that her head was heavy and she was very tired! But she was in good condition before, how could she suddenly become like this? She is not the only one who has encountered similar situations. I used the same method to wake up Yilin! The two of them were obviously abnormal. In my impression, they were not the kind of people who could sleep so well! So I suspected that someone had drugged them. At that time, I didn’t know what drug they had taken, but later I heard that they were fine, so I guessed it was sleeping pills! As for who did it, I think it must have been Lao Ba and the others! Their target should have been only me. They were afraid that they couldn’t deal with me, so they drugged me first! But they didn’t expect that I would vomit all my dinner! "This can explain why Lao Ba’s eyes flashed with surprise when he saw her awake.
If she hadn't vomited her dinner, she would have been sleeping soundly like everyone else, and she wouldn't have noticed if someone came to hack her. Then she might have been hacked to death by Lao Ba long ago!
A faint, self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth. She never thought that it was the child in her belly, whom she didn't want very much, that saved her life!
Returning to the topic, she continued, "They didn't realize that while the mantis stalks the cicada, there's an oriole behind it!"
Xu Rongxuan remained silent. He felt that she didn't seem to be lying, but he should look at the problem rationally. There were still many suspicious points about her! "We found blood-stained pajamas under your bed. We have tested it and found that the bloodstains came from the five deceased! How do you want to explain this?"
"I think the real murderer must have set it there while I was unconscious!" Asahiro thought this was the only possibility.
"It's either your speculation or your one-sided statement. Don't you have any solid evidence?" None of what she said was convincing.
"Isn't it your job as police officers to find evidence? I am only responsible for telling the truth! Are you willing to let me go and find evidence myself?" She was quite happy to hear such words.
Xu Rongxuan sighed exhaustedly, "You'd better stay here and recuperate, otherwise you will be framed again if you go out!" Staying here is also a disguised protection!
"Thank you, Brother Rongxuan!" Zhao Rirou muttered to herself. It was obvious that although he couldn't completely trust her, he was still trying his best to help her!
After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, Xu Rongxuan left. Before leaving, he solemnly reminded Chao Rirou, "Be careful! I feel like Yan Mingchi is back! He wants us to kill each other!"
Her words suddenly sent a chill through his body. Every step he took now felt like walking on ice, and he didn't know when it would suddenly break! He returned to the office with this increasingly uneasy feeling.
Seeing Yue Lanxiu in the office wasn't surprising, but what was surprising was that besides him, Li Kexiao, Hua Chuyu, Siyueying, Shui Wulian, Yue Lanjing, and Guan Shaoling were all there! Each of the men had a cigarette in their hand, and his office was filled with smoke. He was immediately overwhelmed. He knew exactly why they were there—to get the truth! Unfortunately, the truth was still a little far away from him.
"That woman is awake?" Seeing him, Shui Wulian was the first to stand up and quickly walked over to him. With eyes that seemed stained red with blood, filled with grief and anger, she asked with deep hatred, "Then, when can we execute her?"
Several eyes were directed at her at the same time, silently accusing and protesting her inappropriate words.
Xu Rongxuan looked at her eyes that were about to bleed from tears, and knew that she was heartbroken and had lost her mind. While he felt pity for her, he did not want to talk to someone who had lost her mind.
"Xiao Rou is not the murderer!" April Sakura stood up and spoke. She believed in Asahi Rou unconditionally! "Because of her pregnancy recently, she has trouble eating or sleeping. She is completely listless and always vomiting. How can she kill several strong men with great martial arts skills in this state?"
Hearing that she was not doing well, a crack finally appeared on Yue Lanjing's lifeless face, like a mask.
No matter what the truth was, he couldn't bear to see her suffer even a little bit!
If she really killed his fellow apprentice, it was his own fault!
He was the real culprit! He should die to atone for his sins, both to her and to his fellow apprentices! He was the one who deserved death, and he had already made up his mind!
Yue Lanxiu was calm now, knowing exactly what he had to do: find the truth and clear Chao Rirou's name! But he was also forcing himself to stop thinking about her suffering, her current situation, and the urge to secretly see her... In short, he was in torment. In fact, ever since she was wrongly accused of murder, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife every moment!
"You're just pretending! That woman is the best at acting!" Shui Wulian sneered mercilessly.
"Why are you being so modest?! When it comes to acting, who can compare to you?" Si Yueying retorted bluntly. Shui Wulian glared at her, but Si Yueying ignored her and continued, focusing on Yue Lanjing, "Since she chose to give birth to your child, why would she go against you?"
Yue Lanjing looked dazed for a moment, remembering Zhao Rirou's words: she hoped the child in her belly would resolve the hatred between them! She was determined to resolve the hatred with him, so how could she let it increase? So he shouldn't doubt her?
"How can there be no reason?" Shui Wulian accused forcefully, "Her hatred for Jing and Canyue's relationship is a reason; her misunderstanding that Li Ao's death was related to Jing is also a reason; she pretended to reconcile with Jing, but actually wanted to investigate him, which further proves that she has bad intentions!" She said the last sentence to Yue Lanjing, hoping to wake him up who was still wavering!
"My father's name is not something you can call out. Don't let me hear it again!" Li Kexiao warned her, his eyes as cold as ice as he looked at her, "Otherwise..."
Shui Wulian fearlessly interrupted, "Are you going to kill me? Maybe I'm the one Chao Rirou originally planned to kill! Maybe everyone in the Li family is involved in the entire murder plan! You are all murderers!"
"You keep saying that it was our plan, then your fellow apprentices breaking into my residence in the middle of the night was also our plan?" Hua Chuyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, and her words left her speechless.
Yue Lanjing and Guan Shaoling might not be aware of this, but she knew very well that Luosha was planning to kill Zhao Rirou!
"Yes! I want to ask you, what are you doing in our territory in the middle of the night?" Li Kexiao pressed on.
Shui Wulian couldn't help but step back, her guilty look clearly revealed, and she was about to say something, "Maybe Zhao Rirou had planned to call them over!"
Hua Chuyu sneered, "If they were called here, why do they all look so sneaky in the surveillance footage, like thieves, hiding from others and crawling through dog holes instead of going through the main door?"
Shui Wulian's eyes widened, but she couldn't utter a single word. Guan Shaoling stood up and shielded her behind him, remaining calm. "You have many questions, and so do we! You keep saying that Zhao Rirou is innocent, but I want to hear how you defend her! Who else in your house last night had the ability to kill besides Zhao Rirou? Who was so powerful that he could take sleeping pills and still get up and kill someone? Who could disguise himself as Zhao Rirou and kill someone? Who has the same kung fu as Zhao Rirou?"
Hua Chuyu couldn't answer a single word because he was also confused.
Hua Chuyu pondered for a long time, and there were only two possibilities. One, Luosha's men took the opportunity to get rid of Xiaorou, but were killed in return! However, the possibility of Xiaorou killing people was not high; the other was that someone pretended to be Xiaorou and killed them. However, not everyone could easily sneak into their mansion to do such a thing, unless Yan Mingchi really came back to life! Only he could do it so secretly!
"Yan Mingchi!" April Ying said with certainty, "If it's his words, many things that I couldn't understand will become clear! There are many things that ordinary people can't do, only he can do! Only he has the ability to play with people like us in the palm of his hand! His goal is to make us kill each other and make us suffer! We shouldn't be used by him like this!"
There was a moment of silence, and everyone present had actually thought so.
Guan Shaoling lowered his eyes in thought, then suddenly glanced at Hua Chuyu and the others, "Speaking of exploitation, I could also say that you are exploiting Yan Mingchi. You intend to put all your actions on a dead person! No one can confirm whether Yan Mingchi has been resurrected or not. We are all guessing, but there is solid evidence that Zhao Rirou committed murder!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to argue again, Xu Rongxuan spoke out in time to stop them, "How about you listen to what the suspect has to say first?"
"Okay! I want to hear how she has to argue." Shui Wulian said with gritted teeth in disgust.
"According to her account, when the five victims were killed, she was fighting with someone in the bedroom, and your Lao Ba wanted to kill her! Because she was not feeling well, she couldn't even defeat Lao Ba, and was knocked unconscious by him!" When Xu Rongxuan spoke, his eyes were mostly on Yue Lanxiu. "So I think as long as we find Lao Ba, we can prove whether she is lying! If Lao Ba can prove that what she said is true, then it is enough to prove that the murderer is someone else!"
"Old Eighth is missing! We've sent people out to look for him, but there's still no news!" Shui Wulian's face was filled with grief and indignation, and she had already made up her mind for the worst. "He's not the kind of person who would act on his own without saying a word. Something must have happened to him! Maybe he's been killed by Chao Rirou! And she's still hypocritically asking us to look for him!"
"No matter what, we must not give up and must find him!" Yue Lanjing finally spoke.
He never even looked at Shui Wulian. He could never forgive their action of getting rid of Chao Rirou without authorization. If they had not done that, his fellow disciples would not have died, and Chao Rirou would not be in this situation now!
Xu Rongxuan looked at Yue Lanjing and said, "Don't worry, our police will increase manpower to search together!"
Yue Lanjing nodded in response.
Hua Chuyu looked at Yue Lanxiu, who had barely said a word. "You haven't expressed an opinion from beginning to end. You're like an outsider."
"I am indeed trying to be an outsider. I want to know what it would be like to look at these things from an outsider's perspective?" Yue Lanxiu responded.
Hua Chuyu nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, those involved are often confused. So, do you see anything clearly now?"
Yue Lanxiu quickly glanced at everyone present. He was at least certain that some of the things he could say in front of these people were acceptable. His gaze finally returned to Hua Chuyu. "Ever since Yan Mingchi's death, we've had a relatively peaceful time until Cangyue was killed. I think this is the beginning, the beginning of the entire incident, and the first crime committed by the criminal."
Siyueying's eyes flickered between Yue Lanxiu and Hua Chuyu. "Are you saying that the murderer who attacked Cangyue and Zhao Rirou is the same person who murdered Luosha's apprentice?"
Hua Chuyu agreed, "Their movements are so secretive, they kill without leaving any trace, and their martial arts are so powerful, obviously they are superior to Zhao Ri Rou and Cang Yue! You know, there are not many people who can escape the eyes and ears of these two..."
It was obvious that Hua Chuyu wanted to bring up Yan Mingchi again, but Shui Wulian interrupted indignantly, "If you ask me, it was all Zhao Rirou's fault! She was the one who killed Canyue, too, but they almost died together! The talk about a third person secretly attacking them is all one-sided. Canyue is dead anyway, so she can say whatever she wants to get out of this!"
"It's always you who want to harm her. She won't waste her time and energy on people like you!" April Sakura said disdainfully.
"I think there was a third person there." As soon as Yue Lanxiu said this, everyone looked at him, waiting for his next words. "Although that person was very careful and didn't leave any footprints on the ground, he was still careless and left some!"
"Where is it?" Xu Rongxuan asked in surprise. Why didn't he tell her about his new discovery?
Yue Lanxiu glanced at him, then glanced at the others. "Remember, there was a forest next to the cliff where they fell? It was filled with ancient camphor trees, each one taller and thicker than the other. The thinnest tree would probably take two adults holding hands to encircle. The branches were thicker than your waists, and the leaves were lush and dense... That place was definitely the perfect hiding place."
"You mean, besides Chao Rirou and Canyue, there was another person hiding in the woods that night?" Xu Rongxuan thought so at first, but the reality was, "Unfortunately, we didn't find any traces of anyone entering or leaving the muddy road in the woods! Including other places where footprints should have been left, we didn't find any! According to Chao Rirou, they also had to pass through a muddy road from Thyme Clinic to the cliff. She also said that they followed the two sets of footprints on that road, but in fact, it was proved that there were only the footprints of Chao Rirou, Canyue, and Thyme on that road, and no one else's!"
"We'll discuss this question later. Let's talk about the previous question first. You said there weren't any traces in the woods to prove anyone had been there. Did you look above the trees? Did you only focus on the undersides?" Yue Lanxiu guessed that they must not have checked the trees, so they found nothing.
Xu Rongxuan was stunned. As expected, Yue Lanxiu had guessed it right. The tree just raised its head slightly to look.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you have found something on the tree, tell me right away. Don't be so slow!" Li Kexiao sometimes really couldn't stand the way he spoke.
On normal days, Yue Lanxiu would have teased Li Kexiao for his impatience, but he wasn't in the mood right now. "I found some footprints on some trees, but they're incomplete, so I can't tell the size. But they're enough to compare with the set of footprints left near the police station! Guess what the result is?"
"Can they overlap?" April Sakura asked excitedly.
Yue Lanxiu smiled and nodded, "Not only that, the patterns on the soles are all the same!"
Mizuki Rei continued to disagree with them, "So what? This only proves that Asahirou was also responsible for the attack on the police officer!"
"Impossible!" April Sakura said firmly, "Asahirou was with our entire family that night, and we can all prove that she didn't leave the house during that time."
Shui Wulian sneered, "Can your whole family's words serve as evidence?"
"you--"
The two women glared at each other.
"You are amazing! You actually found footprints on the tree! It was indeed our negligence!" Xu Rongxuan couldn't help but blame himself.
"The murderer was careless. He wiped out the footprints on the ground but ignored the ones on the tree. Maybe he was too confident!" The self-righteous face of Yan Mingchi appeared in front of Yue Lanxiu.
"But there are so many trees. It must have taken you a lot of effort to find the footprints among them. Why didn't you ask us for help?"
"Luckily, it wasn't a very tiring job, and the murderer didn't just pick a random tree. I told you he was going to peek, so he would definitely find a tree that would give him a good view of the cliff edge and a good place to hide. Such a tree is pretty easy to find! The direction of the shoe prints on the tree also shows that he was facing the cliff edge at the time!"
Li Kexiao didn't understand. "But you just said there were footprints on more than one tree. Why did he go to other trees?"
"I think he used the thick branches as footholds, constantly jumping from one tree to another..." Hua Chuyu suddenly remembered a scene he had seen before, where Yan Mingchi was moving flexibly through the woods like a swallow!
"You're right. There are some footprints on the branches of the nearby trees, but they are becoming less and less clear, and finally almost invisible. But this should be the method he used to leave. He didn't return the same way, but left from the other direction of the woods." Yue Lanxiu deduced from this.
Li Kexiao asked seriously, "But if you climb up a tree, you won't leave no trace at all, right? Can you take fingerprints?"
"It's difficult to adopt!" Xu Rongxuan answered him seriously.
"You're not going to tell me that the only way to climb a tree is to climb?" Hua Chuyu looked at him in disbelief.
"For ordinary people, to get to a tree, they can only climb, but for people with a solid foundation in martial arts, they can easily jump up! Aren't you that capable?" Yue Lanxiu's eyes seemed to be saying, no way, you don't even have this ability?
Li Kexiao closed his mouth and rolled his eyes at each of them.
"But if he just left like you said, how can we wipe out the footprints on the ground?" Xu Rongxuan was puzzled, and the others looked at him in the same confusion.
"There must be an accomplice!" Yue Lanxiu said shockingly.
"Accomplice? You mean there is another person in secret!" Yue Lanjing had been standing by the window staring out blankly. When she heard this, she turned around and looked at him.
"That person is quite powerful, leaving no trace at all!" Xu Rongxuan wondered who it could be, someone he knew or someone he didn't know?
"There are still clues, but it's hard to accept!" Yue Lanxiu seemed to be talking to himself, "Or maybe no one would have thought that she would be an accomplice!"
"From what you said, you already know who the accomplice is?!" Yue Lanjing locked her eyes on him, "Who is it?!"
"I'll tell you when I have enough evidence! The reason I can't tell you now is that I don't want to wrongly accuse anyone!" Yue Lanxiu didn't want to alert the enemy, and he felt that now was not the time to expose her. Otherwise, before the truth is revealed, she might be killed by Yue Lanjing's people! Besides, he still had to give someone a mental preparation, and he glanced at Xu Rongxuan meaningfully.
Receiving his gaze, Xu Rongxuan was stunned. Was there something difficult for him to say to him? Why should he be so cautious?
Yue Lanjing said no more. Those who knew Yue Lanxiu's temper knew that if he didn't want to talk, no one could ask him. Fortunately, he was a man of measure and trustworthy.
"But the footprints you found can't prove that they were left on the day Canyue was murdered?" Shui Wulian still insisted on her opinion. In her opinion, everyone here, except her and Guan Shaoling, even Jing, was helping Chao Rirou to get rid of the crime!
"Yes, but it provides us with another possibility to find the truth! We will never miss any possibility!" Yue Lanxiu answered her seriously.
"Okay!" Shui Wu Lian couldn't argue with him. "Then let's talk about the second incident, that is, the poisoning of Eleven. Who else could have done it besides Chao Rirou? Are you trying to say that there was someone behind the scenes? Are you going to blame everything on the person behind the scenes?"
"Besides Chao Rirou, anyone else can do this. The method is actually very simple!" Yue Lanxiu blocked her mouth before she could ask, "I'll explain it to you when the time comes!"
"I hope everyone can believe me!" Yue Lanxiu looked at the others and said.
If others didn't believe him, they wouldn't be here listening to him.
"Then in the third incident, who do you think killed my fellow junior brothers?" Shui Wulian said stubbornly.
"The third crime committed by the criminal should be the assault on the police! I think his main purpose is to lure me, Jing," Yue Lanxiu turned his gaze to Hua Chuyu and Li Kexiao, "and you two brothers to the vicinity of the police station. In fact, he is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain so that he can carry out his fourth murder plan without any obstacles!"
"I don't think there's anything that makes sense," Xu Rongxuan objected. "The murderer could have lured the suspect to the police station, or arranged everything at the Li family's house. But how did he calculate that Luosha's disciples would choose that night to seek revenge on Zhao Rirou?"
"I think this is easy to answer," Hua Chuyu replied to Xu Rongxuan, but his eyes were fixed on Yue Lanjing. "The murderer could hide in our house, in the police station, and naturally he could also hide in your place! He's secretly observing your every move! He knows the mantis is trying to catch the cicada, so he becomes the oriole!"
These words made Yue Lanjing, Shui Wulian and Guan Shaoling feel a chill down their spines. As soon as they thought about someone standing behind them with a knife and they were completely unaware, they couldn't help but break out in cold sweats!
And this person is most likely Yan Mingchi, who has come for revenge and is more terrifying than a ghost! When Shui Wulian thought of this, she couldn't help but tremble. He will kill them all! He will never let any of them go!
"I agree with you. His purpose is very clear. He wants to kill us all! But if we kill us all at once, he will find it boring, so he wants to torture us slowly!" Turning his gaze to Yue Lanjing, Yue Lanxiu said with self-awareness, "Especially you and me! He must think that his death was planned by you and me!"
Yue Lanxiu's words were becoming increasingly specific, referring to Yan Mingchi! "He thinks death is too easy for us, so he wants to torture us slowly. He knows exactly where our weaknesses, pain points, and fatal points are!"
Was this really the case? Was this not Chao Rirou's revenge? Was it all Yan Mingchi's scheme? Yue Lanjing tried to calm himself down and think carefully about the whole thing.
"It's Asahirou! So his main target is not Asahirou, but you! He framed Asahirou in order to torture you!" April Sakura's words were like a hammer, hitting the two men's already broken hearts hard, shattering them into pieces and causing them unbearable pain!
