In a high - end residential community in City C, Du Ou and Kong Yu were entangled with each other, the scene extremely ambiguous.
"Ouo, have you checked the Internet? Su Yao's fans are going to dig into your past," said Kong Yu with her long black hair cascading down to her waist.
"Yuyu, it's okay. This time, General Manager Wang said he would strongly promote us. There won't be any negative news," replied Du Ou, his nostrils filled with the fragrance of her hair, feeling dizzy and unable to think clearly.
"Humph, that Su Yao. Just because she's won a few awards, she thinks she's so great. Now that her contract is up, she's being bashed all over the Internet. Hehe," Kong Yu said, her jealousy flaring up at the thought of Su Yao's glory.
"Yuyu, it'll be your turn soon," Du Ou said.
"Haha, and yours too," Kong Yu laughed.
Just as they were enjoying this intimate moment, a dark figure flashed across from the opposite high - rise building, followed by a faint clicking sound.
Looking out of the hospital window, the sunset glow was beautiful today. The person who had come to visit her with flowers had left long ago.
Miao Yue was lying alone in the empty ward, gazing at the pink sunset. Her thoughts drifted back to an evening many years ago. It was also such a pink - hued evening when she, Su Yao, and Pei Yan were sitting on the grass of the school playground, chatting happily.
Even though she knew at that time that Pei Yan and Su Yao were a couple, she just didn't believe it. Later, she really married Pei Yan. However, over the years, Pei Yan had always been cold and distant towards her.
She once told herself that Pei Yan was just such a person, but years of marriage had made her a bit doubtful. For a woman like her, divorce was such a terrifying thing.
But for Su Yao, it seemed that she didn't need Pei Yan at all. Why did Su Yao always make things difficult for her?
Thinking of this, Miao Yue's leg hurt even more. She wiped away her tears and said to herself in her heart, "I will never get divorced, and I won't let Su Yao take any advantage. I will never lose."
The man who had come to visit Miao Yue was standing outside the ward. His phone vibrated. A new message came from Yan Nuo. The man opened his phone, read the message, and then casually deleted it.
Su Yao and Pei Yan were discussing the case. She had turned off the ringtone of her phone, but it still kept vibrating. Su Yao rarely picked up her phone. After taking a look, she replied with a few words indifferently.
Pei Yan knew that for Su Yao now, typing a few words on the screen would cause a huge stir on the Internet.
Su Yao hadn't changed at all compared to before. Even though she had become a big star, she was still that tomboyish and outspoken girl, a little monster.
His little monster girl.
Seeing Pei Yan's look, Su Yao waved her hand in front of his face. "Yan Yan, what are you looking at?"
"Cough, nothing. I'm thinking about the case," Pei Yan said. Suddenly, he felt that his memories were too far - reaching and his plans were too long - term. Maybe only the Su Yao in front of him was the answer he was looking for.
Soon, Bai Linglong returned to the room, bringing back a pile of documents.
"This Yu Hui is indeed the same person mentioned in Hu Zong's confession. These are his criminal records," Bai Linglong said.
"It seems that this Yu Hui is an old hand. With so many criminal records, he's only locked up for a few days each time and then released," Su Yao said after quickly scanning Yu Hui's information. "How did Hu Zong mention Yu Hui in his confession?"
"He didn't mention him. We checked his phone and found that he had multiple calls with Yu Hui on June 4th," Pei Yan reminded her.
It seemed that Yu Hui was at least connected to Hu Zong's case. But what role did Yu Hui play?
The three of them felt that there were more and more clues, but they had to find evidence before 9 p.m. tonight, or Hu Zong would be released. And it would be unknown when they could find him again.
Just as the three of them were struggling through the documents, Li Lin showed up, bringing dinner for each of them.
"Lin Lin, thank you. You're so considerate," Su Yao said, eating her favorite seafood congee. In fact, she knew that Li Lin had come to report the results of the task she had assigned him. Su Yao seemed careless, but in fact, she was careful in some ways. Although she seemed carefree, she still cared about some things.
Li Lin whispered to Su Yao about his achievements. Su Yao patted him on the shoulder, showing approval and gratitude.
Li Lin nodded to her, glanced at Pei Yan, and then left the police station room alone.
Tomorrow would be a new day. A saying popped up in Su Yao's mind.
Pei Yan and Bai Linglong ignored Su Yao and Li Lin's whispering. They were quietly marking on the documents, and it didn't disturb Su Yao.
Su Yao looked at them, and a feeling of comrades - in - arms who shared weal and woe welled up in her heart. Her eyes became as kind as an old aunt's. Even though the two of them didn't look up, they felt a chill and couldn't help shivering twice.
"Now let's analyze a possibility that can make both Ding Rui's and the school belle's statements valid. That is, the 'A' the school belle was concerned about happened to be one of the hooligans. So the school belle said she wasn't molested, but in the eyes of others, like Ding Rui and Sun Shan, the school belle was indeed molested by one of the hooligans. That's why the boys on the student side took action, while the school belle said she wasn't molested," Pei Yan sorted out his thoughts.
"But this has nothing to do with Sun Shan's arrest," Su Yao questioned.
"The police made the judgment that the students were provoking based on the school belle's testimony. And what happened among the students that eventually led to Sun Shan being pushed out as a scapegoat," Pei Yan explained to Su Yao.
"What's the connection with the case we're investigating?" Bai Linglong only cared about the progress of the case.
"There is. Both Zhou Zheng and Sun Shan were killed. But four years ago, it was Sun Shan who was framed. Now Zhou Zheng is dead, and Sun Shan is also dead. And we analyzed before that Sun Shan's way of death, the burned body, was a very obvious attempt to cover up the crime," Pei Yan looked at Su Yao. It was she who had deduced this.
Just as he was speaking, Bai Linglong's phone rang. After answering the phone, Bai Linglong relayed a very important piece of information. The burned body was indeed not Sun Shan himself.
"It seems my deduction is correct," Pei Yan pushed his glasses.
It was very likely that Sun Shan had killed Zhou Zheng, and the burned body was a scapegoat that Sun Shan had found to escape the crime of killing Zhou Zheng.
There was a knock on the door. "Dong dong dong." Sun Yang came into the room and gave Pei Yan an examination report.
After flipping through it, Pei Yan pushed his glasses. "We only need the last piece of the puzzle to solve the case."
Su Yao and Bai Linglong glanced at each other. It seemed that Pei Yan had found the answer.
"We're still missing one confession," Pei Yan had already seen the outcome of this case.
The three of them knew that Hu Zong couldn't leave the police station tonight.
