At half past two in the morning, Su He was so tired that he dozed off.
Suddenly, some noises woke him up. Looking up, he saw that Tian Xiaojuan's grave had been dug open already. A dark shadow was holding Tian Xiaojuan's urn in his arms, then Su He couldn't see anything.
Su He got up and rushed over in just a few steps. The man in the grave was startled and took out a knife, attempting suicide.
"Tian Xiaojuan is still alive!" Su He shouted loudly.
Before it was too late, Su He pressed Zhao Xin to the ground and threw away the knife as well.
Zhao Xin didn't struggle. Looking blank, he asked, "Did you say Xiaojuan is still alive?"
"Heh heh... I was going to say, if Tian Xiaojuan were still alive, she certainly wouldn't want to die with you, you scumbag!" Su He held Zhao Xin tightly to the ground and said disdainfully.
"I didn't mean to kill her. It was all because she forced me. I liked her and was afraid she would leave me. I borrowed money and sold my car to satisfy her, but she was a bottomless pit. She wanted my dad's house in Jinan City. She forced me. I was about to go crazy. In the parking lot, she... Let me just die, please. I killed her. A life for a life!"
Zhao Xin tried to struggle, but was firmly pinned by Su He with his master-level grappling skills.
Su He ignored him and took out his phone to call the police: "Hello, I want to report to the police. I caught the murderer who killed Tian Xiaojuan... Yes, the parking lot of Rongde Building... I'm at Xinglong Village, Jinhua Town... On top of Tian Xiaojuan's grave... I'm not a villager. I'm a food deliveryman."
After hanging up, Zhao Xin stopped struggling. Glancing at Su He's clothes, he asked in puzzlement, "You're not a policeman?"
Su He smiled and replied, "Plainclothes, you know?"
Zhao Xin continued to ask, "You just told the police you were a deliveryman?"
"That was a code. Did you think you were very clever? In fact, your every move has been under police surveillance..." Su He had put himself in the role of a policeman.
Zhao Xin asked again, "Then why didn't you catch me earlier?"
"Let me think... Where do all these questions come from? Why, why, why!" Su He suddenly realized that college students' minds were so active that he almost couldn't keep up.
"Officer, where are your handcuffs?" Zhao Xin smiled.
"Forgot them." Su He replied expressionlessly.
"Do you believe I'll give you a bad review!" Zhao Xin suddenly turned his head and glared at Su He.
"You dare, you murderer, you dare to give me a bad review..." Su He was furious. This guy dared to threaten him.
"Hahaha, you really are a deliveryman... How did you know I was going to kill myself here?"
Zhao Xin suddenly laughed. Su He realized that he had been tricked into revealing something. He exerted more strength to make Zhao Xin scream in pain.
"Shut up!" Su He didn't give Zhao Xin any good expression. A scumbag who killed his girlfriend, it was good enough not to beat him up.
Sure enough, Zhao Xin shut up. But not a minute later, he started mumbling to himself, "If I had won the lottery, she wouldn't have left me..."
"Bullshit, you killed her!" Su He couldn't help interjecting again.
"That day she took me shopping at the mall. When we got to the parking lot, I realized she was going to buy furniture because she wanted to move into my dad's house. My dad was originally going to give that house to me, but then my dad found another woman who got pregnant, so my dad decided to live there himself."
"Xiaojuan always had her mind set on that house. She said as long as we moved in ahead of time, my dad would have no choice. I couldn't help arguing with her. On one side was my girlfriend, on the other was my dad. What was I supposed to do?"
"The parking lot was very dark. Xiaojuan had turned off the car lights too. We were silent for a few minutes. Then Xiaojuan put her hand on my thigh..."
Su He instantly became alert.
"When we were doing it in the passenger seat, I didn't expect Xiaojuan to suddenly say, "Hurry up! We have to go see the house afterwards!". When I heard this, was this still love? This was a transaction! The house, the house, it was all she cared about. I strangled her. I loathed her, I hated her..."
"Didn't you just say you liked her?" Su He couldn't help interjecting again.
"It doesn't matter anymore. I regret it now, but what's the use? When she was alive I suffered, now that she's dead I suffer even more. I just have one wish now - I hope we can be buried together..."
By now the police sirens were close. After hearing the whole story, Su He didn't know what to say either, so he just remained silent.
When the police took Zhao Xin onto the police car, he got onto another police car and saw the familiar face in the passenger seat. Su He smiled and greeted, "Officer Yang, thanks for taking the trouble to come out so late. If I wasn't afraid he would run halfway, I could've just taken my e-bike..." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered, "Stop the car! My e-bike is still in the field..."
Jinnan Public Security Bureau, Interrogation Room
Su He spoke until his mouth was dry, going on about the seventh day memorial service and being buried together. But Officer Yang just kept staring at him and saying, "Tell the truth!"
In the end, Su He got angry too, glaring back at Officer Yang, "Are you trying to cheat me out of my 200,000?! I want to see Officer Wen. He promised me that if I catch the murderer, he'll give me the 200,000!"
Officer Yang angrily strode out of the interrogation room to Director Fu, helplessly saying, "Director Fu, it's the same story again."
Su He's account wasn't completely nonsense. Interrogation of Zhao Xin had confirmed Su He's inference that the murderer did have some feudal superstition and believed the soul of the deceased would return on the seventh day.
The reason he was hiding in the temple was also because he was afraid Tian Xiaojuan's spirit would return to take revenge. And in the end, he wanted to be buried together with Tian Xiaojuan because he was prepared to commit suicide.
"Alright, let him go back. Have him register his bank card information, we'll follow the procedures." Seeing Su He inside the interrogation room, Director Fu said. This deliveryman didn't just find clues, but caught the murderer with his own hands - it was truly unexpected.
This time, it also reminded all the detectives that they needed to consider things from the criminal's perspective as well. When asked how Su He was able to connect all this, his matter-of-fact retort was, "Don't you guys watch movies? That's how it always goes in horror movies!"
It was nine in the morning when Su He finally left the public security bureau. Riding his e-bike, he headed towards the youth apartment at the harbor. He had to go back and get some sleep, he was just too tired.
Watching Su He's disappearing figure, Liu Wen silently thought to herself - don't ever come around here again!
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
