1619 Yang Ji Is Missing (1)
Feng Yuanlin thought of possible motives, but he was stumped. So, when Shuyan said that it was very likely that the Yuan woman had taken a fancy to Yan Liling’s boyfriend, Feng Yuanlin’s mouth dropped open. He couldn’t believe such a thing, nor could he imagine hurting someone out of jealousy.
And so far, Yan Liling wasn’t the only victim. There had been several of them, so Feng Yuanlin still couldn’t believe that it was a crime of passion.
Moreover, the victims had all died in tragic and strange ways. No matter how he looked at it, it wasn’t something a human would do.
Looking at Shuyan’s affirmative expression, Feng Yuanlin’s teeth hurt a little.
In fact, he had investigated all sorts of crimes of passion in the past, but there were two reasons why he was so shocked. First, that Yuan woman was able to conceal things so well that he couldn’t see even the slightest abnormality. Second, when Yan Liling died, that Yuan woman cried so wretchedly. At that time, he really thought that the two girls had a very good relationship.
While Feng Yuanlin was in shock, he heard Shuyan say again, “I’m now basically certain that Yan Liling’s death is related to Yuan Yuan. Moreover, the other party deliberately wanted something to happen to Yan Liling.”
At that point, Chi Shuyan brought up how Yuan Yuan had looked at Xia Mingcheng back then. A person usually wouldn’t look at their best friend’s boyfriend with such possessiveness.
Of course, Chi Shuyan also mentioned what Yan Liling’s assistant had said about Yuan Yuan finding an excuse to leave early, but standing outside and stared fixedly at the hotel room door.
As Chi Shuyan spoke, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but imagine the scene. When he thought of how that Yuan woman was widely known as the victim’s best friend, he couldn’t help but shiver. Women were too scary and too d*mn scheming.
It had to be said that after listening to Shuyan, Feng Yuanlin became more and more traumatized when it came to women. There had been his ex-girlfriend, Qin Qing, and now there was this Yuan woman. It was complicated between women, but he had always just thought that they were small fights; he never thought it could be complicated and bad enough to involve taking a human life.
Fortunately, Shuyan had opened his eyes. How would he dare find a girlfriend in the future?
Taking in Brother Feng’s nauseated and alarmed expression, Chi Shuyan said again, “Brother Feng, all of this is to say that Yuan Yuan definitely isn’t a good person. She’s also very strange.
“I now even suspect that everything was planned by this woman, including when Yang Ji, Yan Liling and the others went on that trip together. I also very much suspect that her strange ability was borrowed from some thing. Of course, there has to be a price for it. I wonder what that price is.
“Also, when I searched the taxi driver’s memory earlier, everything was too normal; I suspect that his memory was altered!”
From the memory that Chi Shuyan had seen, things had indeed looked very normal; on the surface, the driver accidentally stepped on the gas and hit a tree, and Yuan Yuan was the victim. However, when Chi Shuyan took a closer look at the driver’s face, she saw that he was frightened even before he stepped on the gas, and his expression turned even more horrified after he looked in the rearview mirror, as if there was something terrifying behind him. In other words, the other party must have seen something so unimaginably frightening that it caused him to step on the gas and crash into a tree.
Chi Shuyan was quite curious about the thing which Yuan Yuan had borrowed from. It could actually directly alter the driver’s memory?
It seemed that it did have some skills.
Chi Shuyan spoke very calmly, but it sounded like a magnitude 9 earthquake in Feng Yuanlin’s ears, especially Shuyan’s last guess that the thing had altered the driver’s memory. Feng Yuanlin simply shuddered when he heard this, and his whole body turned cold. He was clearly inside the car, but he didn’t feel safe at all.
If Shuyan’s guess was true, what thing had that Yuan woman borrowed from?
Recalling the tragic deaths of Yan Liling and the others, Feng Yuanlin’s scalp turned numb.
Fortunately, a ring on Shuyan’s left ring finger drew his attention at that moment.
Feng Yuanlin gritted his teeth and asked weakly, “Shuyan, where did you get this ring?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t answer Brother Feng’s question as she abruptly had another thought. Feng Yuanlin heard Shuyan continue in a clear voice, “Brother Feng, you said before that you couldn’t find a motive for Yuan Yuan to kill, but what if the price she has to pay is the lives of Yang Ji and the others?”
Seeing that Brother Feng didn’t quite get what she was saying, Chi Shuyan explained in detail, “Brother Feng, I once read a ghost story about a statue: A girl in an art school had always liked a boy who had never been interested in her, but in another girl. This girl was very jealous and reluctant to accept this, but there was nothing she could do. One night, she suddenly had a dream where a ‘person’ told her that there was a stone statue in an art room that had been sealed off which could fulfill all her wishes. She could get whatever she wanted, provided that she fed the statue with blood.
“At first, the girl didn’t take the dream seriously. It wasn’t until a few days later that she suddenly heard someone talking about that art room, which had been sealed off for more than a decade. Supposedly, a lot of things happened in the past, and anyone who entered that room, along with anyone related to it, died. The girl was very scared at first, but she couldn’t resist the temptation for long. One night, she snuck into the shut art room, and saw that strange human statue. At that time, the girl still didn’t know what thing had been drawn to her selfish desire – she cut her hand with a knife and dripped some blood on the statue. She then made a wish for the boy to break up with the other girl. Sure enough, not long after, the boy inexplicably broke up with his girlfriend. The girl was very happy to know that her wish had been fulfilled.
“The next night, she snuck into the art room again, cut herself, and made another wish for the boy to like her. Not long after she made another wish, sure enough, the boy fell in love with her and they got together. She was especially happy, but less than a month later, the boy suddenly didn’t like her and wanted to break up with her.
“Naturally, the girl couldn’t stand the blow. After the boy broke up with her, she quickly ran to the art room to make another wish, and the boy fell in love with her again. Just like that, as long as the girl continued making the wish, the boy would fall in love with her again no matter how many times they broke up. The girl also realized that although she could make a wish to make the boy fall in love with her, it didn’t last long. That made the girl very dissatisfied. When she made another wish, she even nagged in front of the statue. That night, the ‘person’ entered her dream again and told her that it could help fulfill her wish, but there was a condition. The girl had to make a choice. She had to give it her head for its own, or make 300 identical statues with human heads. It just so happened that there were a total of 300 people in that department, including the teacher. In the end, the girl chose the second option for her own selfish desire and sacrificed everyone! However, she forgot that she was one of the 300. In the end, everyone died!”
Feng Yuanlin: …
“Shuyan, no, Zhenbai knows that you…” Can tell ghost stories, right? Feng Yuanlin’s scalp turned numb and he rubbed his hands. Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden crisp ringtone, which startled Feng Yuanlin so much that his hand jerked and he threw away the cigarette box he had just taken out of his pocket.
Chi Shuyan looked at him and reminded him, “Brother Feng, it’s a call!”
Feng Yuanlin: …
Feng Yuanlin suppressed the embarrassment in his heart and hurriedly took out his phone. Before picking up the call, however, Feng Yuanlin recalled the ghost story Shuyan had just told him. Wait, was Shuyan implying that the Yuan woman was sacrificing other people in order to fulfill her own selfish wish?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Feng Yuanlin’s eyes immediately widened. His finger moved slightly, and he swiped the answer button first. Tang Yunming’s anxious voice quickly rang out on the phone. “Director Feng, something happened. Yang Ji, that rascal, is missing!”
