Looking at her thin silhouette, Chu Feifan didn't know how to face her. In his heart, he always had doubts about her words. He couldn't understand why he doubted her; it felt like something he couldn't control, as if it were an innate instinct.
This left him perplexed.
Perhaps he should ask Lin Yazhi about it.
Chu Feifan didn't go in to see her; he just quietly watched for a while from outside the window before leaving.
Su Jin'er still sat with her back to the door, and no one could see her expression. Even if they could, they would find that she had no expression at all.
She had been there for three days, and not a single person had come to see her. Although she knew they were just standing outside the door looking in before leaving, it was actually better this way. At least no one disturbed her, allowing her to quietly recall everything that had happened.
She remembered that the Ghost Head had flown towards her and then bitten down hard on her arm. After that, she forcefully threw the Ghost Head away, and then her hand touched that stone. Naturally, she would use the stone to smash the Ghost Head. However, Ruan Hongmei had fainted at that time. She clearly remembered Ruan Hongmei was on her left side, at least a meter away from her, and this was to avoid hurting her. But why did it end up being Ruan Hongmei? Was the head that flew over to bite her really Ruan Hongmei's?
Her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton; although soft, it made her throat hurt even more. It felt as if a stone was pressing down on her heart, heavy with despair.
What was the truth? Or did she really lose her mind and mistake Ruan Hongmei for a ghost, killing her? Perhaps that was the only explanation since the bite mark on her arm was indeed left by Ruan Hongmei.
But wait! She remembered clearly that Ruan Hongmei had already fainted at that time. So who bit her? Who killed Ruan Hongmei?
One question after another tangled like cotton fluff. After finally finding a thread of clarity, she discovered it was just a broken false clue.
Who exactly was the Killer?
She painfully closed her eyes as scenes flashed in her mind like a movie playing out.
If only it were a movie!
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a door opening, but she did not turn around.
"Jin'er, someone has come to see you!" The nurse's sweet voice still did not make her turn around; she sat quietly like a puppet.
A figure walked in front of her, and then she heard the sound of the door closing.
The figure was wearing a white dress, and because she had her head lowered, she could not see who it was. Who else would come to see her but Ruan Hongmei?
The figure sat down beside her. "I didn't expect that just a few days would turn you into this. It's truly pitiful!"
It was Qin Yu!
How could she not have thought it was her? However, why would Captain Xing let her in? Did Captain Xing have some special intention?
She remembered that Captain Xing had told her that to keep things under wraps, Captain Xing only informed the director about her pretending to be insane, so no one knew that she wasn't actually crazy.
Captain Xing said that many people have no defenses against mental patients, so they would reveal their true thoughts to them. This was the reason Captain Xing had her stay here.
"Heh heh, I forgot you can't answer me." After a pause, she continued, "However, I'm curious if you're pretending or really insane."
As she spoke, she suddenly took out a needle from her sleeve and stabbed it into Su Jin'er's skin without any warning.
"Ah!" Su Jin'er suddenly screamed. She had to scream because just because a mental patient had issues did not mean they lacked the sense of pain; however, she still needed to pretend.
She rubbed her arm and cried out, "You hit me! I'm going to report you to the teacher!"
As she spoke, she kept retreating until she reached the corner, continuously muttering about reporting to the teacher, her gaze unfocused.
"It seems you're really insane!"
Qin Yu crossed her arms and looked at Su Jin'er.
"Ah! There's a ghost, a ghost behind you, a head is flying towards you."
Su Jin'er's sudden scream startled Qin Yu, who instinctively glanced back before standing up and walking towards the door.
At that moment, the Nurse heard her scream, opened the door, and came in to ask what happened.
Qin Yu pointed at Su Jin'er and said, "She suddenly screamed about a ghost, and it scared me."
Tears were still streaming down Su Jin'er's face as she rushed over to hug the Nurse's arm and said, "Teacher, she hurt me. It hurts; look."
Su Jin'er rolled up her sleeve, revealing nothing on her fair arm.
However, perhaps due to Su Jin'er's past behavior, the Nurse felt she didn't seem like someone who would suddenly go crazy. She shot a disdainful glance at Qin Yu and said, "Our patient has always been very quiet. She never reacted this strongly to anyone coming here. You must have done something to hurt her; you should leave quickly!"
Qin Yu looked at the Nurse in disbelief, then glared fiercely at Su Jin'er before leaving the ward.
Watching Qin Yu leave, the Nurse supported Su Jin'er and said, "Jin'er, be good. Sister won't let anyone hurt you again. Just lie down on the bed and sleep for a while!"
Su Jin'er obediently walked to the bedside and lay down, her movements like a puppet, her gaze still lacking any focus.
Qin Yu, who had been watching from outside the window, finally felt relieved. She initially thought Su Jin'er was just pretending to be crazy, but now it seemed she might truly be insane. She sneered and left without looking back.
After seeing Qin Yu leave, the Nurse felt reassured enough to step out of the ward while mumbling to herself, "How could such a beautiful girl go crazy? And be a murderer who killed her own roommate? I just can't see it!"
The Nurse muttered as she closed the ward door behind her.
Su Jin'er let out a heavy sigh, realizing that she was usually quite obedient, which is why the Nurse would protect her; otherwise, she wouldn't know how Qin Yu would bully her!
But why would Qin Yu come here? Was it just to test if she was really crazy?
Or was this all her doing?
She recalled the White-Clad Girl; at that time, she thought the girl's back looked familiar. Now that she thought about it, it did resemble Qin Yu's back quite a bit!
Could it really be Qin Yu?
Zuo Yi had already informed her that Chu Feifan suspected she was lying. While most people would think she was lying upon hearing her words, he was her boyfriend! Did he not believe her either?
During her days here, she had dared not think about this matter, yet her mind was peculiar; the more she tried not to think about it, the more it occupied her thoughts.
This left her feeling as if her heart were being torn apart.
At that moment, the sound of keys unlocking the door echoed again. She glanced sideways and continued to lie still.
"You can go out first! I'll call you if I need anything," Captain Xing said to the Nurse.
Watching the Nurse close the door behind her as she left, Su Jin'er sat up.
"How is it? Any leads?"
"We didn't find any useful clues at the scene. There was blood everywhere, and it was all Ruan Hongmei's. The footprints on the ground were chaotic, but we could tell that only your and Ruan Hongmei's footprints were present, meaning there was no third person."
She had already considered the absence of a third person, but how did the White-Clad Girl get past? Could she possibly fly?
No, that figure was not Qin Yu. Although it looked similar, she seemed to be slightly shorter than Qin Yu. Since she first noticed her, she had always been facing away, deliberately avoiding showing her face and even hiding her body with loose clothing. Suddenly...
"I know who the White-Clad Girl is. Captain Xing, please go check if Lu Lili is at school. If she's not there, it’s possible she has already been harmed."
Captain Xing paused slightly upon hearing her words but still got up to leave.
She looked curiously at Captain Xing's departing figure. Why didn't he ask her why? And why did he trust her so much? She could potentially be the Killer!
However, she didn't have much time to ponder this. If her guess was correct, then it would explain why Wang Xiangxiang was scared to death and Cheng Xiaoying went mad. But what about Zhuo Xiaoman? How could Hao Hongtao and Guo Xiaoli be explained?
She furrowed her brows tightly.
Who exactly is the Killer? What do they want?
Why did that strange head disappear immediately when the knocking sound occurred? Was it afraid?
It seemed like she had forgotten a very important question. What could it be?
She supported her head with her hand while sitting on the bed, utterly perplexed.
Forget it; she would wait for Captain Xing to return before thinking further!
With that thought, her eyelids grew heavy, and soon she fell asleep.
Yijiang Medical College.
In the Pavilion of Lake Center.
"Extraordinary, I like you so much. Why won't you even look at me? What’s wrong with me?" Qin Yu said excitedly, pulling at Chu Feifan's clothes.
"No, you're great. It's just that the person I like is Su Jin'er."
"Su Jin'er, Su Jin'er, all of you only have Su Jin'er in your hearts and on your lips. What’s so good about her? She's just a murderer; how can she compare to me?"
Chu Feifan remained silent, his brows tightly furrowed, a voice in his mind repeating: She is a murderer, she is a murderer.
"Yes, she is very beautiful, so beautiful that even women would like her. But now her face is ruined; what are you still longing for?"
"It’s not about the face," Chu Feifan said as he shook off her hand that was holding him. "It’s about the heart."
"The heart? Is her heart really good? She's a murderer! Ruan Hongmei treated her so well, but in the end, what did she get? Death! Death! She killed her and even fabricated some ridiculous story about ghosts and murder. Do you believe it? Do you believe it?" Qin Yu shouted loudly.
"I believe it."
That one sentence nearly exhausted all his strength, and strangely enough, after he said it, the words that had been swirling in his mind suddenly disappeared.
