It's now quite obvious that the culprits of the two cases are those two guys.
"What about those two now? Where are they? Are they still at large?" Yi Pin asked angrily. He never expected there was such a connection, nor did he think there were really such scumbags in the world.
"I'll send someone to investigate!" Shen Yu patted Yi Pin on the shoulder, his eyes showing an unnamed affection.
"Now that I think about it, we can initially assume that the deceased might have suffered from depression. I also found Prozac at the deceased's home!" Yi Pin suddenly had an epiphany.
That day, looking at those pills, he had pondered for a long time. Although the bottle was labeled with another medicine, the pills inside were anti - depression drugs.
"That day, the roommate also said she was sleepy all the time! And we found a weighing scale at home. It wasn't for intentional weight - loss, but because she couldn't eat. In the photos, she looked a bit plump, but in the video, she was just skin and bones! Obviously, she was getting thinner day by day!" Yi Pin spoke again. The memories of that day all came back to his mind.
Why didn't he discover it earlier? Then they wouldn't have had to go through so many detours.
Shen Yu watched Yi Pin, who was analyzing things so clearly, with a pleased smile on his lips. All along, he had thought Yi Pin was a promising young man, smart and full of justice.
Just then, a phone call came in. After answering it, Shen Yu's face turned ashen.
"What's wrong?" Qi Mingyang asked timidly, afraid that the answer wouldn't be what he hoped for.
"It's... the two culprits who initially and subsequently harmed the deceased are still studying at K University. Since they are the only sons of the mayor and the secretary of the municipal Party committee, their crimes have obviously been covered up!"
"What?" Yi Pin and Qi Mingyang exclaimed in unison. Although they knew the perpetrators must have a background, they didn't expect it involved such high - ranking political officials.
This was favoritism and malpractice, and it was using the names of high - ranking officials to exonerate criminals.
No wonder so many videos and people had been silenced. It was because of their family's good connections.
Just thinking about Xiao Dan being tortured to death while the culprits were living carefree, at large, made Yi Pin extremely angry.
"Do you think her mother is hiding something from us? Or does she have some dark secret?" Qi Mingyang said coldly. It just didn't make sense. Why did such a thing happen? Since the mother wasn't the killer, what was she trying to cover up?
Moreover, according to the boy's words, she was a woman addicted to domestic violence.
"We're not gods. Of course, we can't figure it out clearly. It seems we still have to find out the ins and outs of the matter before we can draw a conclusion here," Yi Pin pouted.
Shen Yu had been staring directly at Yi Pin. He didn't expect this young man to be so meticulous. He had even discovered the hidden drug like Prozac. And why did he recognize the drug?
It seemed he was very familiar with such drugs. Could it be that he also suffered from depression? But that was unlikely. Since they had lived together for a while, Shen Yu hadn't noticed any signs in him.
Could it be smiling depression?
"Now we have evidence, but to be on the safe side, we still have to be careful. Let's go and investigate the deceased's mother!" Shen Yu said coldly, looking at the two in front of him and smiling slightly.
"Alright! But can we go find something to eat first?" Qi Mingyang smiled.
They had been busy since early morning, and the three of them had been running back and forth. They hadn't had a proper meal yet. Just thinking about it made him feel hungry.
Yi Pin also nodded.
For a glutton like him, being able to hold on for a whole morning was already a miracle.
Shen Yu looked at the two of them and nodded helplessly. Looking at Yi Pin's pale face, he felt a bit sorry for him.
During the meal, they saw that Yi Pin remained silent all the time. Although he was eating, his eyes were obviously in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking.
Maybe it was because he thought today's events were rather strange. Why did such a thing happen? Or maybe it touched his soul. He didn't expect a mother could be so manic.
"Don't think about those messy things. Hurry up and eat." Shen Yu ruffled Yi Pin's hair and smiled.
Maybe because he had been in society for many years, all this seemed normal to him. People might initially be confused and think that such things shouldn't happen, but after things happened one after another, they would become numb.
Suddenly, they would fall into deep thought, but no longer feel the same deep pain as the first time.
"Okay!" Yi Pin forced a smile in response.
Actually, sometimes he didn't understand why Shen Yu could always notice any unhappy expression on his face. He was really like a worm in his stomach and had given him infinite tolerance.
Shen Yu had been busy washing the dishes, pouring tea, and picking up food for him.
Qi Mingyang watched this scene and smiled. Suddenly, he understood why Shen Yu had always been cold to him.
"How about I sleep with you tonight? It'll also be good for investigating the case!" Qi Mingyang deliberately put his arm around Yi Pin's shoulder and said with a smile, then glanced at the cold - faced Shen Yu.
"No!" Shen Yu vetoed almost without thinking.
Yi Pin shrugged. He originally wanted to agree, because it was really strange for a homosexual who often hung out in bars to suddenly propose to sleep with someone.
But he didn't expect Shen Yu to react so strongly.
"My home doesn't welcome outsiders!" Shen Yu said coldly, his eyes showing hostility. Looking at Qi Mingyang in front of him, he became even more vigilant. This guy had been lingering around Yi Pin, and now he was making such a request. It was obvious that he was trying to hit on Yi Pin.
Qi Mingyang smiled: "Really?"
That "really" always made Shen Yu feel creepy. He always felt that Qi Mingyang knew some of his secrets.
Qi Mingyang wasn't sure either. So on the way to the deceased's mother's house, he kept testing Shen Yu, and it worked every time.
The conclusion was that this guy definitely had feelings for Yi Pin.
The three of them came to the deceased's house again. They were a bit nervous because they didn't know under what pretext to go in. And it was very clear that the deceased's mother was already on guard against them. No matter what excuse they used, they would surely be kicked out.
Thinking like this, they felt extremely restless. The three of them just looked at each other in silence.
"You devil... You know what you've done."
"Get out..."
At this moment, sounds of fighting and shouting came from inside.
