1618 Motive?
Chi Shuyan decided to summon the soul at 10pm in the hospital. Since the driver had died there, the soul should still be nearby.
Not long after, the driver’s soul floated into the morgue from outside the hospital. Chi Shuyan had opened Brother Feng’s Heavenly Eye earlier, so when the middle-aged man’s groggy soul floated in, she and Brother Feng both saw him.
However, there was clearly something wrong with the middle-aged man’s soul. He didn’t seem to have any self-awareness and was in a daze. However, his body was on the side, and his soul instinctively floated to the dead body and refused to leave.
Taking advantage of this moment, Chi Shuyan directly reached out and touched the soul’s head to try and see its memories. Feng Yuanlin was very calm when he saw ghosts now. After all, he had seen many evil spirits with Shuyan before.
Seeing Shuyan’s actions, Feng Yuanlin didn’t dare disturb her. Not long after, however, his heart thumped when he saw Shuyan’s face turn uglier and more grim.
Not long after, Shuyan let go of the soul and burned another talisman to exorcize it. Her expression was still grave, and Feng Yuanlin was itching to know what was going on.
“Brother Feng, let’s talk outside!” Chi Shuyan said.
At her words, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t wait to leave right away. Although he was quite brave now, he still felt a little scared hanging around the hospital morgue in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Shuyan was with him, so he felt very safe.
It wasn’t until the two walked out of the hospital and got into the car that Feng Yuanlin finally asked, “Shuyan, what did you see? Why is your expression so strange?”
Chi Shuyan’s expression really couldn’t be considered good or bad, but Feng Yuanlin, who knew Shuyan well, could still tell that she wasn’t in a good mood. He remembered that the middle-aged driver had been muddle-headed just now. Could it be that something was wrong?
At the same time, Feng Yuanlin was also quite curious. After he died, would he be like this middle-aged driver?
This curious thought flashed through Feng Yuanlin’s mind before he immediately focused all his attention on what Shuyan had discovered just now. Seeing that Shuyan didn’t speak for a long while, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but say, “Shuyan, what on earth did you learn? How on earth did the driver die? Does it have anything to do with that Yuan woman?”
After a pause, Feng Yuanlin suddenly thought of something and said to her, “By the way, Shuyan, there’s one more thing: that Yuan woman was discharged this afternoon. In any case, she was the victim. The driver’s death had nothing to do with her. Since she wanted to be discharged, we could only let her leave first.”
The latter half of Brother Feng’s sentence finally attracted Chi Shuyan’s attention. She looked at Brother Feng and frowned even harder. She deliberated for a while before she said, “Brother Feng, I looked through the other party’s memory of the car crash just now and didn’t find anything. The reason for the crash was indeed because he accidentally stepped on the gas and hit a tree.”
Feng Yuanlin: …
Anyone else might have believed Shuyan’s words, but Feng Yuanlin felt that there was something fishy about the car crash; even Shuyan couldn’t tell what it was. Could it be that the car crash was really an accident?
Was Yuan Yuan innocent all along?
Feng Yuanlin didn’t know what to think, but he suddenly heard Shuyan ask, “Brother Feng, what do you think of Yuan Yuan?”
Feng Yuanlin didn’t expect Shuyan to suddenly switch topics from the car crash to Yuan Yuan’s character. Feng Yuanlin’s mind was a bit stuck, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. However, he knew very well that Shuyan would never ask a senseless question; there was a high chance that she had some suspicions or had discovered something.
As for Yuan Yuan, he had only met her a few times. It couldn’t be said that she had left a deep impression on him, but it was probably because Yang Ji and the others had said that Yuan Yuan had strange and magical abilities that he subconsciously focused on her. He also had many doubts about her.
It was just that no matter how doubtful he felt, there didn’t seem to be many suspicious points about the other party; she didn’t have a motive to kill the driver.
Given Feng Yuanlin’s years of experience in handling cases and judging people, however, he felt that Yuan Yuan wasn’t as good as she seemed on the surface. In fact, his intuition told him that she was a little dangerous.
This intuition came out of nowhere and was very bizarre. Still, he didn’t rely on his intuition to solve cases, and only believed in evidence. Feng Yuanlin pondered for a moment before he said, “We’ve only met a few times, and I don’t have much of an impression of her. However, I keep feeling that her sudden foresight and her ability to read physiognomy are too strange and unrealistic!”
After listening to Brother Feng, Chi Shuyan didn’t hide the fact that she had gone to Yan Liling’s film crew to see her assistant, Hu Yun, today. She recounted everything that they talked about, and revealed that before her death, Yan Liling had wanted to ask Chi Shuyan for help, but Yuan Yuan stopped her. Instead, she hired another Master. Yan Liling died not long after that.
So, Yan Liling’s death was partly related to Yuan Yuan.
When something happened to Yan Liling, Feng Yuanlin had been the one to deal with the case. At that time, he had even rushed to the scene himself, and it wasn’t long before everyone related to Yan Liling arrived. However, the person whom Feng Yuanlin had the deepest impression of among Yang Ji’s group was probably Xia Mingcheng, who was very good-looking and Yan Liling’s boyfriend, and Yuan Yuan, who had cried miserably from beginning to end.
At that time, he remembered asking everyone about Yan Liling and Yuan Yuan’s relationship. Everyone replied that they were best friends. Speaking of which, this woman had even fainted from crying at the scene.
Feng Yuanlin hadn’t doubted their relationship at that time, so when he heard what Shuyan was implying, he was quite shocked. “Wait, Shuyan, are you saying that Yan Liling’s death is related to that Yuan woman? Or to some extent, her death was triggered by that Yuan woman? But what’s her motive?”
