"Suicide?!" The male officer's expression froze.
"She misunderstood me! Jiang Yufei said she had felt a deep sense of guilt towards me, and she was as pure as a flower in her youth. Even when I was entangled in my own issues, she never blamed me. When she saw me run away, she must have thought I was still in despair, and in her pain and self-reproach, she chose the path of no return."
"Wait, what flower is 'the flower of youth'?" Park Chi asked, only to receive a sharp glare from someone nearby.
"Viola Tricolor. In some European countries, they call it the 'girl's flower,'" she replied succinctly.
I really didn't know. The poor officer pondered silently; all I knew was that there was a sunscreen brand called 'Eastern Flower' advertised recently, featuring some innocent-looking young models.
"Are you sure she committed suicide?" the female recorder asked again.
"Yes. When I returned there, I found the box wide open, and Jiang Yufei was lying inside with a calm expression. She held that bottle of wine, but it was nearly empty," the young man lamented. "It's my fault; what I've done is no different from killing her myself!"
"There’s a big difference, provided you’re telling the truth. We will investigate. But are you really sure it was suicide?"
"I can say for certain! That place is too remote; I've been there so many times and have never seen another person. Besides, even though I was in the opposite direction from Jiang Yufei, I would still be able to hear anything happening; after all, that marsh isn’t very large." He continued to express his despair.
"So afterward you quickly handled the scene, tossed the wine bottle into the bushes behind the bridge, arranged her body into a more peaceful 'Saintly Sacrificial Position,' covered her with a shawl, closed the box and secured it with roses before running away?"
Damn it, after all this fuss, this case turned into a farce. I couldn't help but wonder how that scientist at home, who was suffering for love, would react if he knew the truth. Plus, with that recorder beside me now completely hopeless, it seemed like a hefty payout would be necessary to settle this.
"No, I stayed by her side all along. I didn’t leave until noon on the 18th." His infatuation might have been underestimated, but he gave a definite answer nonetheless. Thinking about that parking ticket he received right after leaving the community that night—how "coincidentally" he had won—Park Chi shook his head.
After going through the necessary procedural talk, the person was taken away.
Yan Xiaoque remained in a state of stubbornness, staring blankly at the pile of "ghost symbols" she had drawn in front of her. The officer, who had already exited the interrogation room, had no choice but to turn back and push through the door again.
"I’m telling you, Yan Xiaoque, this is actually a good thing. This case was just an accident. Didn’t you throw up last time when you heard about the murder? To celebrate this clear and bright world, I’ve decided to treat you to dinner tomorrow."
"Of course, tonight's late-night snack works too."
"Clear and bright world?" The other person stood up and shot him a look, though her expression was quite complicated.
"Let’s hope so!" A rare sigh escaped from Leo Woman right after.
What’s wrong? Park Chi truly couldn’t stand seeing her looking so melancholic.
He watched as she swiftly walked ahead, elegantly kicking off her high heels one by one as she went.
Those were borrowed shoes.
Indeed, it was still Yan Xiaoque—she was undeniably strong.
Park Chi received the call the next morning at ten-thirty.
"Can you let me sleep a little longer?" The tragic scene of picking up shoes from behind her last night immediately replayed in his mind.
After she changed into her own clothes, he was dragged to a roadside stall where he was ruthlessly treated to a meal. Later, he drunkenly watched as the Tavern Owner casually drank four bottles of draft beer before driving away in his own Jeep. Meanwhile, he himself had to walk for an hour and five bus stops before collapsing onto his own bed.
This world truly wasn’t clear enough.
"Get out quickly. All those intern officers from your team are right next to me. If you keep sleeping in, it will cause public outrage!"
What does that even mean? It's just: our team’s intern officers are all by your side. Oh?! "What are you up to again, sister?!" Hearing the roar, Yan Xiaoque tossed her phone aside to a handsome guy nearby. Fortunately, Park Chi had left his briefcase in the car yesterday; among the two bags of snacks, the most valuable item was a copy of the Police Summer Internship List. Just a few phone calls, and everything she needed to check and handle was settled within the morning.
"Captain Park, this is XXX. We are currently at the 33KM + 100M mark on D Road and have discovered new developments. Waiting for you to come over for a report." The handsome guy spoke with a calm yet assertive tone. He has a promising future.
Yan Xiaoque could easily imagine the expression on Officer Park's face, whom she had known for fourteen years.
It must be quite amusing.
But after a sleepless night, she couldn't muster a smile at that moment. Approaching eleven o'clock, the sun blazed overhead. There was nowhere to hide on the bridge. She squinted and stared directly at the sun, allowing its rays to pierce through her being for just a moment.
Looking down, darkness suddenly enveloped her; her eyes were seeking redemption. When her vision brightened again, she saw clusters of green below swaying gently, as if silently calling out.
Was that person or those things calling for your last redemption within?
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
She spoke.
In the end, she said: "Senior, let’s meet at Guiyuanpu."
