"So you came here to hide because you are afraid that Zhuo Man's ghost will kill you," Chu Feifan said as he looked at him.
Hao Hongtao shivered involuntarily, his face turning pale in an instant.
He sighed and said, "I originally thought I would be the second person to die, but unexpectedly it was Xiangxiang."
"Weren't she and Wang Xiangxiang good friends? Why would she kill Wang Xiangxiang?"
Hao Hongtao smiled bitterly and said, "Often, those who appear to be friends on the surface may not actually be friends at heart; perhaps the two of them were enemies."
Friends on the surface, but not necessarily friends at heart?
Chu Feifan and Captain Xing exchanged glances.
"What you mean is that they weren't good friends?"
"Not exactly. They can only be described as surface friends. The person who betrayed Zhuo Man was Wang Xiangxiang, so she probably died before me! I think Zhuo Man must have realized that Xiangxiang was the one who betrayed her, which is why she was heartbroken and committed suicide. Although Xiangxiang didn't consider her a best friend, Zhuo Man regarded her as one and confided all her secrets to her. She was that innocent. However, Wang Xiangxiang is someone who loves money; she shared all of Zhuo Xiaoman's secrets with me and Qin Yu as a joke. Sometimes I really wanted to hit her, but I didn't have the right to."
If things were really like this, then Zhuo Xiaoman's suicide would be easy to explain. However, they didn't believe in ghosts killing people; there must be someone behind this, and this person's existence was meant to take revenge for Zhuo Man. But why did the Killer want to kill Guo Xiaoli and drag Su Jin'er into this?
Since Chu Feifan had already dispelled his psychological barriers, he could now see Su Jin'er. At this moment, he felt very happy.
Su Jin'er was still quietly sitting on the bed, hugging her legs and looking up through the window at the sky outside. Her gaze was distant and unfocused, which would seem crazy to an ordinary person.
The Nurse opened the door to let Chu Feifan in, while Su Jin'er remained motionless, lost in her own world.
Once the Nurse left, Chu Feifan looked at her with concern and said, "Jin'er, I'm sorry!"
Su Jin'er's body moved slightly before she replied, "It's okay. Why did you come?"
"I miss you."
His words made Su Jin'er tremble slightly, but her face remained calm. "Heh."
She still cared about his distrust; if her boyfriend didn't believe her, who would?
"I'm here to apologize and to share some clues I've recently found, and then I'll go look for Lin Yajie."
Su Jin'er remained silent, quietly waiting for him to continue.
"We found Lu Lili, and just as you said, she is dead. Cheng Xiaoying was also tied up in the dormitory. Zuo Yi has already taken her to the hospital. After that, we went to Hao Hongtao to understand the situation, and it turns out that it was Wang Xiangxiang who betrayed Zhuo Xiaoman. He also said something."
Hearing this, Su Jin'er finally reacted slightly. She furrowed her brows and asked, "What did he say?"
"Hao Hongtao said that sometimes those who appear to be good friends on the surface may not truly be so."
Su Jin'er's heart began to tremble. This was originally a very ordinary statement, but hearing it now felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart. She was unwilling to believe it was about her.
"I know you're still angry with me, so I will find evidence that will make you believe me," Chu Feifan said apologetically.
Suddenly, Su Jin'er went wild and started hitting Chu Feifan, then forcefully pushed him into a corner while she curled up and hid in another corner, trembling.
"Jin'er..."
Su Jin'er's sudden outburst startled him. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure outside the window. Coupled with the fact that Su Jin'er's punches had no strength behind them, he immediately understood what was happening.
He turned his back to her and walked in front of Su Jin'er, then squatted down and tightly embraced her. Su Jin'er struggled; in reality, she wasn't using any strength.
"Now do you understand why I didn't speak? I know everything you've said, so bring Cheng Xiaoying here and let Captain Xing arrange for her to stay in the same room as me."
She finished speaking and forcefully pushed Chu Feifan away, pointing at the wall and loudly shouting that there was a ghost. Since the windows were not soundproof, the Nurse immediately rushed in upon hearing her, ushering Chu Feifan out and then taking Su Jin'er to the bed. To avoid being sedated, she quickly calmed down.
“Jin'er, it's okay, there are no ghosts here, don’t be afraid!”
The Nurse comforted Su Jin'er as if she were a child.
Su Jin'er obediently turned her head towards the window. Chu Feifan was still standing outside; upon seeing her gaze, he slightly nodded and then turned to leave.
The Nurse also noticed Su Jin'er’s expression and looked out the window. Since Chu Feifan had just left, she assumed Su Jin'er wanted to go outside for some sunlight and smiled, saying, “Alright, after lunch, I’ll take you out to bask in the sun, okay?”
Su Jin'er quietly closed her eyes.
Then she heard the Nurse say to another Nurse, “Did you notice? The red marks on her face are slowly fading. If they completely disappear, she will really be beautiful!”
“Yeah, but she doesn’t act like other patients. She rarely has episodes and mostly just sits quietly. If all our patients were like this…”
At that moment, a patient in a hospital gown walked by outside, holding a newspaper and basking in the sunlight.
Seeing Su Jin'er’s breathing gradually even out, they closed the door and left.
Su Jin'er opened her eyes, reflecting on what Chu Feifan had said. It was Wang Xiangxiang who betrayed Zhuo Xiaoman; thus, Zhuo Xiaoman might have truly committed suicide. Upon realizing that her best friend was the one who betrayed her, she chose to end her life in despair. That was why when Wang Xiangxiang called her during that moment of suicide, she looked at her with such a terrifying gaze. The person who killed Wang Xiangxiang might have been seeking revenge for Zhuo Xiaoman. But why did the medicine kill Guo Xiaoli? What about Lu Lili—what was the reason behind her death? Was that sound she heard that night made by Lu Lili? And who were the people with her in the Morgue?
This series of questions left her utterly perplexed.
Zuo Yi watched Cheng Xiaoying hiding in the corner of the hospital room. Since arriving at the hospital, she had been hiding there, refusing to let doctors examine her or allow anyone to touch her. She kept a vigilant eye on anyone approaching her; if someone came within a meter of her, she would scream desperately, scaring away any doctor or nurse who dared come close. In the end, only Zuo Yi remained there watching her, and he had already been sitting there for nearly three hours, his body becoming somewhat numb and stiff.
At that moment, footsteps echoed from outside the room—footsteps he recognized well; they belonged to Chu Feifan.
Sure enough, the door to the room was pushed open, and in walked none other than Chu Feifan.
Zuo Yi looked as if he had seen a savior and said, "You're just in time; I'm about to be driven crazy by her."
"What happened?" Chu Feifan asked, glancing at Cheng Xiaoying, who was trembling in the corner.
"Since she arrived at the hospital, she hasn't let anyone touch her. She won't allow anyone to examine her, and if someone gets too close, she screams at the top of her lungs. I think it would be better to send her to a mental hospital."
Zuo Yi said with a helpless expression.
"That's exactly why I'm here."
"What do you mean?"
"Jin'er said to take her to the mental hospital and have Captain Xing arrange for them to stay in the same ward."
"Jin'er is really smart."
Chu Feifan approached Cheng Xiaoying, intending to lift her off the ground, but before he could get close, Cheng Xiaoying screamed loudly, her voice piercing.
That sound was so familiar!
He paused for a moment!
He squatted down and said, "Xiaoying, I'm Chu Feifan. We don't mean to hurt you, so please don't be afraid. We just want to help you. If you're really scared, just come with me, okay?"
It seemed she understood his words; Cheng Xiaoying stopped screaming and tilted her head to look at him for a while. To his surprise, she reached out her arms toward him, indicating that she wanted him to hold her.
This action startled him, but he still picked her up in his arms. Zuo Yi gave him a thumbs-up and then said, "Su Jin'er."
Chu Feifan shot him a glare and then carried Cheng Xiaoying out of the ward, with Zuo Yi sticking his tongue out and following behind.
Last time they fought on the rooftop, and the feelings they had buried deep inside were finally expressed. This not only did not weaken their friendship but actually strengthened it.
"Are we going to find Captain Xing?"
"Yeah! Who else would we look for?"
"Alright!"
"Take your hand off me. I can't carry you on my shoulder; you're not disabled."
"Are you looking for a fight?"
...
The two of them joked as they left the hospital.
