Chapter 1: Yinggezi

"Huh...... Scold...... Hehe...... ......At 2:04 a.m., on the main road of Shuiyun Villa, a famous unfinished villa area in Ning City, a woman wearing a thin pajama and long skirt walked lightly, as if a gust of wind could blow it away, and the woman's mouth let out bursts of chilling laughter from time to time. Her head swayed as if it had lost its pillars, and her long hair completely obscured her face as she swayed her body.

Walking and swaying, suddenly, under the few working street lamps, she slowly raised her head, as if to suck all the lights into her body, breathing greedily, only in and out. "Ha...... in the mouth Ha...... Haha......" smirked wickedly, and ...... A lancet plunged deep into her cheek, slashing as if she had lost her senses, and she kept smiling wickedly...... Laughing...... After making two deep crosses on both sides of the cheeks, there is no nostalgia. Without fear, he pulled a cut in his neck......

Ningshi People's Hospital

"You bear kid, you're a college student and you're still so high-minded, you just play ball, why are you so serious, you still fight with people for a ball, what do you say I should say hello...... Come, eat apples! Seeing that her son was still buried in the quilt and disobedient, Zhu Songting patted the quilt angrily. Ah......" As if he had been beaten to the core, Chu Yan jumped up from the quilt. "Mom...... Don't beat me all the time, you're also a people's teacher! "What's wrong with beating you, you're my son...... Quick, eat the apples, I'll go get you some water. As if he had been greatly wronged, Chu Yan was eating apples with a chirp. Feeling bored eating apples, Chu Yan limped into the corridor with his discounted legs. "Hey, Sister Nurse, do you have any fun here, it's boring here." After lying in bed for a long time, Chu Yan couldn't stay up and wanted to go out to play. After getting the nurse's negative answer, Chu Yan seemed to be going to explore a new continent, walking here and there. When you meet a beautiful woman, you say some yellow jokes, a complete little rascal.

"Really? Died so miserably? "That's it, old horror! I heard that ......" saw Chu Yan standing at the top of the stairs with a cane, and the two women with sundries stopped abruptly. "I'll tell you when I get to the ward later!" After speaking, the woman who told the story walked towards Chu Yan with a laundry basin, and when she walked by, she didn't forget to take a look at Chu Yan's "stump leg", gave Chu Yan a white look, and then left proudly. "Hey~" As if to quibble about something, Chu Yan shouted to the woman, and then thought about why bother with an aunt who was dozens of years old, so he gave up and went back to the ward.

"You bear child, you won't be seen after a little water. Quick, lie down, the doctor said, it's best not to move these days. "Seeing her son come back safely, Zhu Songting was both happy and angry." Okay, okay, don't you know my personality? It's just going out for a walk, and I'm going to suffocate to death. After lying on the bed, Chu Yan picked up his mobile phone to watch the news.

"There was a horrific suicide in Shuiyun Villa on the outskirts of Ningshi, where the deceased cut two deep crosses on his cheeks with a scalpel, then cut his throat and bled to death...... Chu Yan thought as he read the news. Zhu Songting was also curious when she heard it. "What a desperate way to scratch your face. Women care about their faces the most, and some people even go for plastic surgery in order to make themselves look better! As she spoke, Zhu Songting glanced at the photos on Chu Yan's mobile phone, but unfortunately, the photos were all marked with mosaics.

"Mom, I'm going to be discharged!" Affirmatively, solemnly, Chu Yan said that he was going to be discharged from the hospital. Knowing her son's character, Zhu Songting did not object, and after asking the doctor and explaining the situation, Zhu Songting helped Chu Yan go through the discharge procedures.

Chu family

While having dinner, Zhu Songting looked at her son from time to time. After returning from the hospital, Zhu Songting found that Chu Yan hadn't said a word, which was too different from his character, she was waiting for Chu Yan to explain to her but didn't get a response.

"Son, you haven't spoken since you came back from the hospital, what's the matter, it's not like you?" With a bit of provocation, Zhu Songting hoped that this could adjust the atmosphere, but who knew that Chu Yan just didn't speak, and only knew how to eat. It's not interesting, Zhu Songting is very annoyed.

"Ding-dong...... Ding-dong......" The doorbell rings.

As soon as the door opened, a figure "swished" into the room.

"Hello Auntie!" A sweet, cheerful female voice sounded.

"Ran Ran is here, come, let's eat together!" Seeing Chu Xinran coming, Zhu Songting was very happy. Although Chu Xinran is Zhu Songting's ex-husband, Chu Yan's father and the child born to a later woman, Zhu Songting likes this straightforward, optimistic, cheerful, and sunny girl very much, she is not affected by her mother at all, and she is not arrogant and arrogant.

"No, Auntie, I'll talk to Chu Yan." Then he gave Chu Yan a look and called Chu Yan to the room.

"Hey, this kid~~" Although she was a little disgusted, her face was full of smiles, Zhu Songting really liked Chu Xinran's girl.

"Hey~" glanced down at Chu Yan, Chu Xinran was silent for 3 seconds, and finally mustered up the courage to test carefully. "Did you read today's news?

"Looked." No superfluous expressions, no superfluous words.

"Do you know who she is?" Chu Yan was very abnormal today, he didn't have a hippie smile, he didn't play a scoundrel.

"Well, almost." Half-lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment. Happy, she is dead, I, Chu Yan, am not so vicious; Grief, what right do I have to grieve. When she broke up, she said so decisively, saying that even if she died, she wouldn't have to worry about Chu Yan, but now she ...... She's really dead......

"How did you know it was her?" Cautiously tentative.

"That tattoo on her right calf." Holding back, the Adam's apple shook between swallows. "When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I secretly took my mother's bicycle and rode it. Jasmine was curious and asked me to give her a ride. I rode her for a while. Later, I felt that there was nothing wrong with riding, and it was very smooth, so I got proud and rode the bike outside to play. At first we were both happy, but then I rode faster and faster, and Jasmine and I fell off a construction road before we had time to avoid the gravel on the road. Then ...... "choked in the throat and unable to speak."

"Then she injured her right leg. I remember one time my aunt beat you very badly, saying that you were ignorant and hurt Jasmine, and you would have a long scar on your leg in the future, and you couldn't wear a skirt or something. So that's what happened. Walked up to Chu Yan and held his hand, "Brother, let's not confirm it, although I look like it, and the circle of friends is also talking, but I think it is necessary for us to make things clear." ”

Hearing Chu Xinran's words, Chu Yanmao suddenly opened. "No, I'm going to make sure, I'm going to see her body."

After taking a piece of clothing indiscriminately, Chu Yan hurriedly went out.

"Hey~ Where are you going, it's so late?"

"Auntie, it's okay, I'll look at him, we'll be back soon, don't worry!" The two left without saying a word, leaving Zhu Songting standing at the door suspiciously.

Ning City Criminal Police Team

"When exactly will you be able to file a case? Another one died yesterday, how many are they? You say? What do you say? ......" As soon as the Chu Yan brothers and sisters arrived in the hall, they heard a male voice upstairs asking excitedly.

"Brother Li, don't get excited, your daughter committed suicide, and there is no trace of his murder." A detective in his early 40s, but with traces of gray hair, explained.

"Suicide...... Can suicide be so ruthless? Can so many people commit suicide in one way? You say ......" As he spoke, the man surnamed Li began to cry, and when it came to the sad part, who could not choke up. "You also have children, why don't you file a case and give your children justice? Ahem...... cough cough cough ......" Because he was too excited, the man surnamed Li choked on his own saliva. But every word he said had already been heard by Chu Yan into his ears.

While the man surnamed Li was coughing, the criminal policeman gave the young criminal policeman next to him a color and asked him to help the man surnamed Li out. As if knowing their intentions, Li Nan still wanted to resist. "If you don't file a case, I won't leave." Grabbing what he could grasp, Li Nan just refused to leave.

In desperation, the elderly criminal policeman had no choice but to say: "Brother Li, I can understand your feelings, I also have children, I can understand." But you can't provide evidence that your daughter was killed, and besides, it does show that your daughter slit her throat herself. Although we also think it is strange that the 4 girls first cut their faces and then committed suicide by cutting their throats, they have no contact point, how do you ask us to check? I also asked a few girls about their classmates and friends, but there was no contact at all! Why don't you go back first, and then we'll discuss it, it's useless for you to be here, don't you say? In desperation, Li Nan had no choice but to nod and agree, and he was about to leave as soon as he stopped and turned around. How could Chu Yan miss this opportunity, so he followed.

After walking out of the door, Chu Yan stopped Li Nan. "Uncle...... Uncle ......" caught up with Li Nan, Chu Yan glanced at the doorman, and then led Li Nan to the restaurant opposite, because Li Nan had no appetite, Chu Yan symbolically ordered 3 bowls of noodles.

"Uncle, I also heard a little bit about what happened in the criminal police brigade just now, I ......" After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yan still looked at Xiao Jasmine as a "girlfriend". "My girlfriend is probably yesterday...... The one who committed suicide yesterday. "What?" Li Nan looked at Chu Yan in surprise, as if he didn't believe it, and then looked at Chu Xinran. Chu nodded solemnly.

"Hey~ they're all poor people!" said that Li Nan was about to cry again.

"My name is Li Dashan, my daughter's name is Li Feifei, she is from the countryside, and she was given this name at that time in the hope that she could fly out of the mountains and live a good life, but I didn't expect ......" Seeing that Li Dashan was about to wipe his nose with his sleeve, Chu Xinran took out his tissue and gave it to him. She was only 22 years old, and she was expecting her to graduate from college next year and find a good job, but who knows......" was another burst of crying.

"Uncle Li, you said that there are 4 people like this, so what is the situation with the other two?"

"The other two were similar to my daughters, they both cut two big crosses on their faces and then slit their throats and died. How can you say that this is possible, if a person really wants to die, if he drinks some pesticides, why should he make himself like that, then...... Painful...... Forget one, but also 4. The first two they said were coincidences, so my daughter is the 3rd can't be a coincidence, and the 4th yesterday wasn't a coincidence! The more he talked, the more excited he became, and Li Dashan's tone became higher and higher. The entire restaurant looked at him.
