Lost in her thoughts, Su Jin'er felt as if she had fallen asleep, yet her mind seemed very alert. The world before her was blank. She opened her eyes wide, and slowly, some blurry shadows began to appear in front of her, resembling a person's silhouette. She blinked, and her vision became a bit clearer; it was the back of a man. She couldn't see his face, but beside him, another figure gradually emerged—a woman dressed in a red Cheongsam. Su Jin'er widened her eyes; the woman had a great figure, and the dress fit her perfectly. However, something about the woman felt off.
What was it?
She opened her eyes wider and looked closely.
It was the shoes!
That's right, it was the shoes. She wore a Cheongsam but had on a pair of flip-flops, an odd combination.
The flip-flops seemed familiar; she felt like she had seen them somewhere before.
Where had she seen them?
She furrowed her brows and thought seriously.
The villa!
Yes, the flip-flops that woman wore were exactly the same as those she had seen at the villa that day.
She glanced at the man's shoes; they were the same kind of men's flip-flops.
Could it be that they were the owners of that villa?
Suddenly, the woman slowly turned her face, but she turned very slowly, like in a movie's slow motion. Each time she turned, there would be a brief pause, like a tape getting stuck.
With each turn, Su Jin'er felt her heart race a little faster; she thought her heartbeat was about to stop, and the tension made her break into a cold sweat.
Just as the woman's face was about to fully turn around, the car suddenly jolted, and she woke up.
Chu Feifan looked at her with concern and asked, "Did you have a dream? You’re sweating a lot."
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Su Jin'er held his hand and said, "I dreamed about the owner of that villa."
Chu Feifan held her icy hand and asked, "How do you know it's the owner of the villa?"
"The shoes they were wearing were exactly the same as those we saw in the villa."
"Did you see their faces?" the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team asked from the rearview mirror.
"No, just as I was about to see that woman's face, I suddenly woke up."
The Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team showed a look of regret and stopped talking, focusing on driving.
"Where are we now?"
"Almost in the city."
"Isn't your home outside the city?"
"Yeah! But we have to pass through the city, and the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team still needs to go to the police station."
Su Jin'er didn't say anything. She turned her head to look out the window, watching the trees rush by on both sides of the road, only fleeting silhouettes left on her retina. She rubbed her somewhat dry eyes, but tears blurred her vision again.
Chu Feifan hugged her shoulder and said, "I know you're really sad. If you want to cry, just cry! It will feel better if you let it out."
Su Jin'er leaned against him, closed her eyes, and tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. "Linyuan and I grew up together; we were almost never apart. Even coming to this school was because I was coming here. She knew I didn't want to study medicine and didn't want to go against my dad's wishes, so she said she liked forensic science and enjoyed the feeling of a knife cutting through skin. She was the best person to me in this world besides my parents. Even now, I still feel like she's alive."
She spoke slowly. Chu Feifan knew how much pain she felt inside and understood that she was unwilling to accept the fact that Linyuan was dead. She just held back her own sadness so as not to make those around her feel worse.
