Chapter 3 You're Perverted

  Yuan Yi Qin raised an eyebrow and remained silent for a few seconds before speaking: "You're even more glib than I imagined." He then continued, "I've seen many people create dolls in their own likeness, but generally, such people are either of poor quality or have psychological issues. Today is the first time I've seen someone as abnormal as you - why would you dress a doll up to look so gloomy and eerie? Shouldn't it be dressed up to look beautiful and lovely like a princess?"

  Bei Nan's expression turned icy in an instant, and he threw out a sentence without hesitation: "You're the pervert."

  "Alright, then I'm a pervert too." Yuan Yiqin frankly admitted.

  Benan gritted his teeth.

  Yuan Yi Qin's mouth curled up in a sly, cold smile as he asked, "What? Not willing to admit that I'm right about you being perverted? Then give me a reason why you're not perverted."

  Bei Nan took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

  "Captain Yuan, don't you think our conversation is a bit off track?"

  How did it inexplicably get dragged into whether she's changed or not?

  "That doll looks a bit eerie at first glance, but on the surface, you seem normal, just like an ordinary girl with emotions, I don't know what's going on inside though."

  "Just say I'm perverted if you think so." Benan was annoyed in his heart.

  "I didn't say anything," Yuan Yiqin shrugged innocently.

  "That's enough!" The anger in his heart surged up, and Benan really wanted to flip the table over.

  Before Yuan Yiqin could say anything else, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

  Those police officers should still be around, she can't care about that much anymore, she wants to bring Xiao Xi back.

  Understanding Benan's intention, Yuan Yiqin reached out and grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

  "Bei Tongxue, originally you were cleared of suspicion and I couldn't do anything to you. But if you take that doll as evidence, then I have reason to arrest you. Don't think that just because you're the daughter of the Bei Group, I wouldn't dare touch you. Try it and see." The low voice was full of warning.

  Benan glared at him angrily.

  It's undeniable that the Second Detective Team is the ace of Qingfeng City. If she really gets taken away by the Bureau, it would be a bit troublesome for the Bei Group to resolve the situation with their influence.

  What's more important is that Benan doesn't want his family to deal with the trouble he got himself into.

  She puffed out a breath, shook off Yuan Yiqin's hand and sat back onto the bed.

  "I feel uneasy without Xiaoxi by my side and can't sleep." Her tone had softened a lot now.

  "That doll named Xiao Xi is important to you, I know, but tell it the meaning of its existence." Yuan Yiqin seemed very satisfied with Bei Nan's compromise.

  He already knew about Benan's situation more or less. Now he just wanted to know why Benan had made that doll.

  Just now at the scene of the case, Yuan Yiqin took a good look at that doll. The doll's skin was delicate and snowy white, every inch of skin and every joint were made very finely. If its eyes weren't blue, it would be 100% similar to Bei Nan.

  The doll's black hair is soft and long, made from real human hair.

  The materials used to make this doll are not ordinary, and Yuan Yiqin is curious why Bei Nan wants to create such a doll, and even more curious why he wants the doll to wear mourning clothes, as if it were a funeral for someone.

  "You think I'm crazy, don't you? Crazy people don't need a reason to do things, it's just because they look good." Bei Nan muttered and threw over a sentence.

  Yuan Yiqin was speechless with anger.

  "Bei, if you want your Xiao Xi back by your side as soon as possible, just cooperate a bit. As long as you answer properly, I'll leave and process the case immediately, then return Xiao Xi to you." He tempted.

  A flash of light passed through Benan's eyes, she lowered her eyelids and thought for a few seconds, then replied in a soft voice: "You can treat Xiaoxi as me, I want to mourn myself and those past things that I remember and don't remember in this way."

  She spoke slowly and word by word, with a deep sadness in her eyes.

  Seeing the sadness and distress in her eyes, Yuan Yiqin also stopped asking questions.

  I believe everyone has a painful past they don't want to mention, but what kind of painful experience did the daughter of the prestigious Be family, who was born with a golden spoon, go through? What kind of thing is worth her laying the foundation in this way?

  He was curious in his heart, but he didn't ask again. The pain in her heart wasn't something that an outsider like him could touch.

  At least, he can't now.

  "That's it, I won't bother you anymore. If there's anything, I'll contact you. Once the case is handled, I'll return Xiao Xi to you, so please wait patiently until then." Yuan Yiqin stood up from the stool, his expression restored to its usual coldness, and said in an official tone.

  Benan nodded, holding back the sorrow in his eyes: "As soon as possible."

  Yuan Yiqin nodded and turned around to leave.

  At the moment he stepped out of his bedroom, his expression suddenly froze, with an inexplicable gloom.

  Things aren't as simple as they seem on the surface, Shao Yiyin's death wasn't simple either.

  A resolute and enigmatic emotion flashed across those profound eyes.

  According to the testimonies of those eyewitnesses, Shao Yiyang was holding Benan's doll and walking out of the bedroom when she fell down the stairs. It wasn't until someone screamed that Benan came out of the bedroom.

  These confessions completely cleared Benan of suspicion.

  Moreover, even if the doll that was very important to her caused constant conflict with Shao Yiyang, according to Yuan Yiqin's intuition, Bei Nan shouldn't have really wanted to kill her.

  Besides, the esteemed Miss Bei would not be foolish enough to commit murder in broad daylight. With the power of the Bei family, if they wanted to kill someone, wouldn't it require the young miss herself to take action?

  But soon Yuan Yiqin didn't think so much anymore, several girls witnessed the fall between Shao and Yiya, and several pairs of eyes had already confirmed everything.

  But because of that doll named Xiao Xi Gui Yi, everyone still forced this matter onto Bei Nan's head.

  Everyone was discussing whether it was Benan's doll or not, and some even ridiculously said that the doll was possessed and killed Shao Yiyang.

  For those girls' surprise and reasonable speculation, Yuan Yiqin just smiled it off.

  Is the doll really possessed by a ghost as they discussed?

  Yuan Yi Qin couldn't be 100% sure, but at least for now, he could be very certain that there was no evil spirit hiding in that doll. The doll was clean and pure, just like the entire girls' dormitory building, which didn't have a single speck of impurity, including the soul of Shao Yi Ya who had just passed away.

  "It seems that things are a bit complicated." Yuan Yiqin murmured softly, her footsteps stopping at the entrance of the corridor, looking down at the fragments of mirrors and blood on the corner platform below with a thoughtful expression.
