The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow over Yan Kongyue as she swayed gently in the rocking chair. The little girl squinted her eyes, relishing this rare moment of leisure.
Lin Qian had already visited the botanical garden for the second time. Thinking that Yan Kongyue was asleep, he didn’t dare to disturb her and instead found a stone to sit on while scrolling through Weibo.
What are you looking at?
News, huh? Did I wake you up?
Yan Kongyue, who hadn’t actually fallen asleep, stood behind him, peering at the video on his phone.
I wasn’t really sleeping. Yan Kongyue sat down on the stone beside Lin Qian, tilting her head to look at his phone.
Is this about the human flesh Sashimi case?
Haven’t you heard? The case has been solved. They say that monster killed over twenty female college students. The internet is in an uproar; many people are planning to form groups to take revenge in Winter Country.
Have they found the remains?
Yes, they have. They’ve already started the investigation. Let me play the video from the beginning for you.
No need. What’s Winter Country’s attitude?
What attitude could they have? At first, they were stubborn and wanted explanations, even demanding an official apology. But when the evidence was presented, they had nothing to say. They tried to keep it quiet, but the authorities intercepted them and demanded that they publicly apologize to the victims.
Right, let them kneel and say it.
Absolutely!
Miss! Miss! Before Yan Kongyue could finish her thought, Qian Guanjia rushed over in a panic.
What’s wrong?
You need to go take a look! Miss Wei is crying and wants to go out. Madam is worried that something might happen if she goes out alone and has already stopped her.
Before Qian Guanjia could finish speaking, Yan Kongyue had already left the botanical garden.
Xiao He!
Yan Kongyue! As soon as Wei He saw Yan Kongyue, it was as if she had spotted a lifeline and rushed over.
What happened?
My classmate's sister might be in trouble. She wants me to accompany her to identify the body.
Identify the body?
"Alright! Let's go! I'll drive!" Lin Qian turned and headed towards the garage.
"Lin Qian, can you handle it?"
"What do you mean? I'm a man, of course I can!" Lin Qian complained as he walked.
"Well, the Fourth Brother's crew is counting on you. You're the only one available right now."
"Is that so? So I'm just a backup, huh?"
"What else can we do?"
Yan Kongyue and Wei He waited at the entrance, and soon Lin Qian drove up.
Once they got in the car, Yan Kongyue started asking, "Tell me about your classmate!"
"Her name is Tang Zhi. Her younger sister is Tang Yuan. We were classmates in middle school and high school, and we went to college together. A few years ago, she had a car accident and has been living with her sister ever since. We've been really close; every time I got into trouble, they took me in and cared for me. If it weren't for them, I might not have made it to meet you."
"I just got a call from her. I found out her sister didn't come home last night. I thought she was at a friend's place, but then the police called her and said she needed to identify a body." Wei He was already crying and couldn't continue.
"Don't cry yet! Maybe it's not true!"
"Actually, if the police are calling to notify the family about identifying a body, it’s pretty much confirmed."
"Lin Qian, be careful!"
Yan Kongyue had been focused on Wei He earlier but now noticed that Lin Qian seemed very tense, gripping the steering wheel tightly with sweat on his forehead.
"I'm fine! I can do this!" At first, he hadn't felt nervous when he sat in the driver's seat, but as they drove on, memories of the accident came rushing back.
Having just experienced such a violent crash days ago, it was only natural to feel anxious sitting in that position again.
"Don't worry; I'm here with you!"
As soon as Yan Kongyue spoke those words, Lin Qian felt an instant sense of calm wash over him.
At the entrance of the police station stood a frail girl helplessly under the sunlight, tears streaming down her face.
"Zhi Zhi!" Wei He jumped out of the car and ran towards her.
"Xiao He!" she sobbed.
"Don't cry!"
