"Do you mean there is another Killer?"
Su Jin'er asked with a frown.
"Some things can't be done by one person," Li Jing suddenly said. "When did you realize I wasn't the real Li Jing?"
"It was when you and Li Yiqian appeared in the village!"
Li Jing smiled and said, "My real name is Liu Jing. Nice to meet you, Su Jin'er."
"Now that I know so much, what are you planning to do?"
Liu Jing made a gesture that signified "kill."
Su Jin'er smiled lightly and then walked towards them, her lips still curved in a smile. She stood before them, then slowly crouched down, looking up at Grandpa Liu's wrinkled face.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Liu Jing asked her intently.
"Yes! But if killing me means that Grandpa Liu will no longer hate the Chu Family, then my death would be worth it." She leaned against Grandpa Liu's leg and said, "There is no eternal hatred. You hate them only because your feelings for them run too deep."
Grandpa Liu's body stiffened suddenly; she was right. When he saw Chu Bufan in pain, he felt no joy but rather more sorrow and anguish.
He reached out to stroke Su Jin'er's hair and said, "Child, sleep now! Have a good sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be over."
She suddenly felt very tired and wanted to sleep. Closing her eyes, she drifted off again.
Not knowing how long she had slept, her eyes moved beneath her eyelids, and she slowly opened them.
Before her was a sea of white. She blinked and furrowed her brow slightly; she was in a hospital.
"You're awake?"
Hearing Linyuan's voice, Su Jin'er sat up abruptly and looked closely at her. Aside from a faint red mark on Linyuan's face, there were no other injuries.
"Xiaoyuan, how did you escape? Are you hurt?"
She urgently tugged at Linyuan's sleeve, checking for any signs of injury.
"I'm fine, no injuries, so don't worry about me!" Linyuan said with a smile. "But you, how could you go looking for them alone? Thankfully the police found you."
"Did the police bring me to the hospital?"
"Yes! Who else would it be?" Linyuan adjusted the pillow behind her to support her back.
Su Jin'er lowered her head, remembering everything that had happened in that underground passage. She couldn't believe that the kind Grandpa Liu could be the mastermind Killer, but all of this forced her to accept the truth.
Looking at Su Jin'er, Linyuan suddenly said sadly, "Killer has been caught; he turned himself in."
Su Jin'er looked up at Linyuan in surprise and said, "You mean Grandpa Liu turned himself in?"
"How do you know it's him?"
Su Jin'er didn't answer. She lowered her head, tears falling onto the white blanket, slowly spreading out.
"Linyuan" held her hand and said, "I'm also very sad, but, "Jin'er," he is a murderer, after all."
"Has the doctor said when I can be discharged?"
"Linyuan" paused for a moment and then replied, "Yes, once this IV drip is finished."
She nodded and quietly leaned back against the pillow, her eyes downcast. She remembered someone once saying that a murderer is not necessarily an evil person; often, they are just forced by circumstances. However, the law is ultimately merciless—murder is wrong, it is a crime, and it deserves appropriate punishment. Even though she felt heartbroken and sad, she was powerless to change anything.
You cannot change the people around you; the only thing you can change is yourself.
She recalled her mother once telling her this.
When everything has become reality and everything has already happened, you can only choose to accept it.
She knew even more clearly that tears cannot solve any problems, but they can release the unhappiness in her heart. Therefore, she never hesitated to shed tears; after crying, life would go on as usual.
"Jin'er, are you okay?" "Linyuan" asked cautiously.
"Su Jin'er" shook her head and then lifted her gaze to look at her, saying, "You should know that no matter how difficult things get, I will get through it. Xiaoyuan, let's go visit Grandpa Liu later!"
"Linyuan" nodded.
"By the way, have Chu Feifan and the others not returned yet?"
"They're back. Chu Bufan has also been arrested, and another person has been taken into the police station."
"Is it A-Jian?"
Linyuan looked at her in surprise.
"A-Jian killed Alang and Arian, or more accurately, it should be Li Jing."
"Li Jing? Isn't she a police officer?"
Su Jin'er shook her head: "Arian is the real Li Jing, while that Li Jing is Liu Jing, Grandpa Liu's granddaughter, but not by blood."
"How do you know all this?"
"After we left the village, you and Qian Qian were still sleeping in the dormitory. I was called out by Liu Jing. She said the criminal police had come and that she was no longer handling this case; she came to say goodbye. I found it strange at the time but didn't say anything. Later, when I went back to call you, I discovered Li Yiqian was gone, but I didn't think much of it. You remember when I called you for dinner, right? When I came back from dinner, you were missing, and Qian Qian was sleeping in your bed. That's when I suddenly thought that the person who took you might be Liu Jing."
"So that's why you went to see her alone?"
"Yes! I believe she wouldn't kill me; otherwise, she had plenty of opportunities to do so. Also, she intentionally exposed herself."
"Intentionally? Why?"
"Because of Grandpa Liu. Grandpa Liu knows his time is short, so he let Liu Jing expose herself to let me know that he is the real Killer."
Linyuan nodded in a way that suggested understanding but also confusion: "But if that's the case, Li Jing—no, it's Liu Jing—isn't she also committing a crime? Does Grandpa Liu agree with this?"
"She only committed the crime of impersonating a police officer; she hasn't killed anyone."
At that moment, Chu Feifan, Zuo Yi, and Gaya Ze suddenly arrived. Seeing Su Jin'er sitting on the bed, Chu Feifan quickly walked over and took her hand, saying, "Jin'er, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort?"
His concerned words made Su Jin'er shyly lower her head and slowly shake it.
"That's good, that's good!"
"Jin'er, you have no idea. Feifan heard you fainted and was so scared that he lost his mind. After coming back from that broken village, he ran straight to the hospital without even sitting down," Zuo Yi said with a smile while crossing his arms, though his eyes occasionally glanced at Linyuan. He was just as worried!
That little girl disappeared without a trace, but when did he start caring about her so much?
Zuo Yi furrowed his brow in thought.
"Alright, now that the truth is out, you two should be sweet with each other or continue bickering. As for me, the so-called forensic doctor, I won't be in your way any longer. Feifan, call me if you need anything!" Gaya Ze said with a smile as he waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"Hey! Are you just going to walk away like that?" Chu Feifan turned to look at him and asked.
Gaya Ze shrugged and replied, "What else should I do? The police station has a lot of work waiting for me!"
Chu Feifan didn't say anything more as Gaya Ze shrugged and left the hospital room.
"Have all the matters been clarified?" Linyuan asked.
"Yes, A-Jian admitted that he killed Alang and Arian. In fact, he had no feelings for Arian at all; the person he actually likes is his own sister, Xiaoyu," Chu Feifan said with a bitter smile.
"What?"
"Xiaoyu is not A-Jian's biological sister; they have no blood relation," Zuo Yi explained.
"What about the village chief? Where did he go?"
"He was knocked out by A-Jian and locked away. We really underestimated that village, thinking it was just a backward place without even electricity. In reality, they knew we were coming, so they hid the electricity and many modern products to create a false impression. Just like A-Jian's mother, that crazy woman, she was the village chief's lover, and Xiaoyu is the child of the village chief and that woman. You all should remember the woman we first saw burning paper on the mountain; she is that crazy woman! That day, she was burning paper for her husband, who died of anger after discovering her affair with the village chief. A-Jian is the child her husband picked up. The reason A-Jian killed Alang was because of his sister, and he killed Arian to take revenge on the village chief, even going so far as to rape Arian," Chu Feifan explained.
"But just now, Jin'er said Arian is the real Li Jing!"
"Yes, the village chief's surname is Li. He sent his daughter away for schooling, and after she graduated, she was supposed to enter the police academy. However, she was manipulated by Liu Jing, who used hypnosis to make her forget her past and then took over Li Jing's identity as a police officer. All of this was orchestrated by Grandpa Liu behind the scenes."
"Then why didn't the village chief say anything?"
Chu Feifan shook his head; this was also something he didn't understand.
"I have many questions without answers too. My IV is almost done; let's go see Grandpa Liu together in a bit," Su Jin'er said while looking at the IV drip.
