Chapter Seven: Embrace

"And also."

Chen Xiaobo insists he did not leave.

Officer Chen, don't you think the only evidence pointing to Xiao Bai being a suspect is my relationship with Wang Yue

It seemed Gu Yan had made a great effort to say that.

"During my relationship with Xiaobai, there was more than just Wang Yue," Gu Yan paused, "I guess Xiaobai also knew about it... so she wouldn't kill Wang Yue because of this."

Chen Xiaobo frowned and took a deep look at Gu Yan before leaving.

.......

Gu Yan put a little force into his hand and snapped the cigarette in two.

Half fell to the ground, and half remained clutched in his hand.

Gu Yan dazedly lifted his head to look at the sky that had darkened in just a moment.

Light footsteps echoed behind me.

"Why not go home"

> Is Jiang Yunbai.

Gu Yan's gaze, which had been fixed on the black and desolate night sky, was now replaced by a pale face.

"Are you looking at the stars"

After finishing her words, Jiang Yunbai also turned around and faced Gu Yan. She looked up at the night sky, imitating his posture.

"There's nothing here, it's really dark now that it's cold..."

Quick.

Jiang Yunbai was hugged from behind. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"So fast."

Gu Yan took a deep breath at the edge of Jiang Yunbai's temples.

"Well, I'm getting up. I feel a little dizzy."

Jiang Yunbai didn't know what she was thinking and didn't refuse Gu Yan.

"Well, it's normal to have low blood pressure when you stand up. Just be careful next time, after all..."

"I'm not always by your side."

“.......”

Jiang Yunbai felt the warmth radiating from behind her.

"Gu Yan, may I ask you a question"

Gu Yan didn't say a word, but Jiang Yunbai just knew he agreed.

"Gu Yan, what illness did you have before When did you have the surgery"

Gu Yan hugged Jiang Yunbai, thinking that this wasn't really a secret he couldn't say.

"I used to have dilated cardiomyopathy, and the best solution was a heart transplant. I finally got to receive the surgery at the beginning of my junior year of high school."

...

Xiao Xu was walking in front, and Chen Xiaobo was following behind.

"Hey, Team Chen, let's get takeout from that new Hunan restaurant on the street ahead. The cafeteria food is so bland and tasteless..."

Little Xu saw the two familiar figures hugging at the door and instantly fell silent.

But the look of pity in that pile of cabbage still betrayed Xiao Xu's intentions.

Xiaoxu pulled Chen Xiaobo away, leaving in a hurry.

"Chen, hurry up! The brothers are still waiting for food in the canteen."

But as soon as Xiao Xu left, he immediately started complaining.

"It's a pity, Gu Yan, this debauched scoundrel who cheated 800 times still has the face to ask for reconciliation!"

Chen Xiaobo gave a perfunctory nod.

Xiao Xu continued, "If I were Jiang Yunbai, I would have slapped him a long time ago. Disgusting!"

Chen Xiaobo continues to agree with the location.

"Team Chen, why are some people who are clearly a magnet for trouble and attract so many girls still so popular Gu Yan started with an indifferent attitude, saying he had nothing to do with them, yet those girls were still obsessed"

"But a good boy like me, is he unloved"

Xiao Xu chattered non-stop all the way, and finally blinked her big eyes and looked at Chen Xiaobo.

"Captain Chen, what am I lacking"

Chen Xiaobo helplessly rubbed his ears and made a gesture of rubbing his fingers at Xiao Xu.

Then, taking over the packed box, he added, “Do you have Gu Yenkong”

Xiaoxu came to his senses in an instant.

"That's right, I have no money and no time... Oh wait, I mean I haven't had contact with the opposite sex because I am dedicated to serving the people."

Chen Xiaobo ran with his head down, just wanting to get away from Xiao Xu's vengeful husband.

Back at the dining hall, Chen Xiaobo neatly arranged all the dishes in his hands.

Song Ming and others all held their plates and came over.

When people get together, they inevitably start discussing the case.

Of course, besides Xiao Xu, there was no one else complaining.

"Have you guys ever thought about how strange Gu Yan is"

Everyone listened attentively.

He was a notorious playboy, unfaithful and unethical. But in the interrogation room, he defended his former girlfriend Jiang Yunbai at every turn, appearing deeply devoted to her.

"What's more, Gu Yan didn't seem to feel a bit sad about Wang Yue's death. Apart from being slightly surprised at first, he later remained calm and composed as if nothing had happened. He was as steady as Mount Tai even when faced with such an event."

Saying that, Xiao Xu also mimicked it, making everyone laugh.

Song Ming, with the air of someone who's been there before, addressed Xiao Xu.

“I watched a bit of that interrogation video. I think this rich kid was being genuine, but his mind wasn't entirely clear and he couldn't control himself. Besides, the way he looked at Wang Yue with indifference makes me think he never really cared for her in the first place. Maybe Wang Yue was just pursuing him.”

Chen Xiaobo just silently ate the rice in his bowl.

"You're saying that all doctors have to operate, right"

At this time, Qin Yuezhen, a female officer who had just been transferred from the criminal police team, sitting on the side, took over.

Of course, I have an aunt who is a doctor. She said that she saw dissected bodies soaked in formalin every day in anatomy class. Cutting up rabbits and mice was commonplace. All doctors have done it.

"Oh my gosh, the rabbit is so cute..."

Everyone looked at Xiao Xu again in unison.

Xiao Xu immediately got up.

"I'm going to get some soup, the rice is a bit dry and chewy."

Chen Xiaobo took a deep breath, but he didn't want to see a familiar face.

"Zou Yu, come over and eat together!"

Zou Yu held the freshly made plate of rice and walked towards Chen Xiaobo and the others with a smile.

"I had a snack today."

After greeting Zou Yu and having him sit down, everyone chatted for a few minutes before starting to eat.

Xiao Xu came back holding a bowl of soup.

"Why are you eating so fast"

Everyone was busy eating and naturally no one responded.

But soon Xiao Xu will know why everyone unanimously began to pick at their rice.

--

"Based on your years of experience as a doctor, Zou Yu, what are your thoughts on Wang Yue's case"

Zou Yu, with a chicken leg in his mouth, glanced at Chen Xiaobo, who was eager to learn.

Then Zou Yu put down the chicken leg in his mouth and glanced at the people around him.

"Well, from my experience, I believe the killer possesses an unusual level of calmness and logical thinking."

"You see, the perpetrator first destroyed the surveillance cameras at Wang Yue's front door. Of course, this doesn't necessarily confirm that it was the perpetrator who did it. Then, the perpetrator either had the key to Wang Yue's fingerprint lock or successfully entered Wang Yue's home using their fingerprints, and then..."

Little Xu drank a bowl of soup in one gulp, confidently and proudly declaring to the heavens.

Then the murderer, unarmed, went first to the kitchen to pick out a suitable knife. He then went to cut up curtains to use as white rope. After tying Wang Yue’s hands and feet, he struck her down with deadly force and then left.

Zou Yu glanced at Xiao Xu.

Then, leisurely holding the packed-up stir-fried pork with bell peppers.

"I found bruises on Wang Yue's hands and feet, indicating that she had been bound while alive. At the very least, she was alive when this happened."ckly as a child, often getting sick and needing medication. She got better later on, but the relationship between her husband and Yue Yue's mother remained distant. As a result, Yue Yue also didn't ge...
