Chapter Ten: The Abandoned Woman

  A white gauze skirt enveloped her slender figure, black straight hair scattered casually behind her back, barefoot on the wooden floorboards, making a pleasant sound. All of this was so beautiful, just like a fairy walking out of the woods. The door to the room wasn't closed, she walked in, this was her bedroom, where she spent most of her daily life. On the dresser were the skincare products she used every day, elegantly applied to her face.

  A gust of wind blew by, and the bedroom door opened a crack. Through the gap in the door, she saw something that made her face look so sorrowful.

  "Wu Hui...... Wu Hui......" Since Wu Hui entered Wang Ting's bedroom where she had committed suicide, he seemed to have lost his soul and no matter how much Guo Yining called out to him, he couldn't hear her.

  "What did she see after all?" Wu Hui muttered to himself, ignoring Guo Yining.

  "What? Who? Who saw what?" Wu Hui finally managed to speak up, but said something that left Guo Yining bewildered.

  Wu Hui didn't respond to Guo Yining's words, but instead ran outside the villa, took a few steps back, and stared at this abandoned villa, "What did she see exactly?"

  Guo Yining didn't know what was wrong with Wu Hui, and could only follow him as he ran out of the villa, standing side by side with him, looking at the villa in confusion.

  "What secret is locked in here?" Wu Hui was deep in thought, completely oblivious to Guo Yining's words. The scene that had flashed before his eyes just now must have been the image of Wang Ting left behind in the room when she was alive.

  Unable to find any clues, Wu Hui simply wandered aimlessly around the villa, walking and walking until he reached the back door of the villa, where weeds had grown all over. This villa area had been forgotten by people, and there was no longer any sign of life.

  "Huh?" At the back door of the villa, Wu Hui squatted down. There were some blurry and incomplete footprints on the ground.

  Guo Yining also noticed and squatted down to take a closer look. "This footprint is probably from some time ago, could it be left by a thief?"

  "It's probably so, looking at these messy footprints, someone must have stood here for a long time." These footprints seem to be from the same person, but they are too blurry and the time is too long, it's a bit difficult to take these footprints.

  After the forensic expert arrived, he took a look and shook his head. The footprint was too shallow, and after being washed away by the rain, it had already become blurry. It's probably impossible to obtain the footprint.

  Wu Hui also understood and was no longer obsessed with it. He stood at the back door, looking inside, but could only see the kitchen, nothing else.

  The villa's basement might have something, the basement was filled with clutter, Wu Hui piled up in the clutter, one by one rummaging through it, he always had a feeling that this basement must have what he was looking for. Looking at the messy things all over the basement, just touching them casually would make dust fly everywhere, making Wu Hui cough.

  Guo Yining handed a mask to Wu Hui, who put it on and continued searching inside. Guo Yining didn't know what Wu Hui was looking for, but helped out beside him anyway.

  There were too many things, Wu Hui searched for a very long time, feeling his neck was a bit sore. Although it was winter, but his forehead was sweating slightly. "Found it!"

  At the sound of Wu Hui's shout, Guo Yining straightened up her slightly sore waist and found that Wu Hui was holding a diary in his hand. She didn't expect that in this era, there were still people who wrote diaries by hand, which was really rare to see.

  Pushing aside the miscellaneous objects in front of him, Guo Yining came to Wu Hui's side, "What thing?"

  "Diary, Wang Ting's diary." Wu Hui flipped through its contents.

  "How did you know Wang Ting has a diary?"

  "I'm not sure, I just find it strange that such a big villa wouldn't have a single internet cable. Think about it, Wang Ting and Liu Jianjun have been married for eleven years, Liu Jianjun is busy with business, Liu Hao has to go to school, Wang Ting doesn't have any friends, and she stays at home every day. She must have some things on her mind that she wants to tell someone. I guess she should have a diary of her own. Actually, I'm not very sure, it's just a feeling that she might have some secrets to hide." Wu Hui had a strong sixth sense, and he couldn't explain this feeling of his either, but every time at critical moments, this feeling would always appear.

  "What's written above?" Guo Yining didn't ask much and instead studied Wang Ting's diary together with Wu Hui.

  There was a photo of a man in the diary. Judging from the photo, it should have been taken over a decade ago. It had turned somewhat yellow and old. The clothes the man wore in the photo were also typical of that time.

  Wang Ting inserted this man's photo into her diary, it seems that this man is very important to Wang Ting.

  As expected, the diary mentioned this man, his name is Liu Kai, Wang Ting's first love. The two had known each other since they were very young and originally planned to get married. However, on their wedding day, he jumped off a building and killed himself. Wang Ting was already pregnant with his child, so for the sake of the child having a father, she married Liu Jianjun who had always had feelings for her.

  Wang Ting had always thought that Liu Jianjun did not know about this matter, but the rumors outside made Liu Jianjun doubt in his heart. Liu Jianjun forced Wang Ting to ask whose child it was, and Wang Ting had no choice but to admit that the child was Liu Kai's.

  Liu Jianjun was heartbroken, but he truly loved Wang Ting, so he took Wang Ting and Liu Hao away from their current residence to this villa.

  What comforted Wang Ting was that Liu Jianjun had always treated Liu Hao like his own child, doting on him excessively. This made Wang Ting gradually develop feelings for Liu Jianjun. However, one thing made Wang Ting harbor great hatred towards Liu Jianjun because she heard that Liu Kai's death was related to Liu Jianjun.

  Wang Ting forced Liu Jianjun to tell the truth about what happened at that time, but Liu Jianjun was unwilling to admit that he had anything to do with the matter back then. Wang Ting then demanded to live separately from Liu Jianjun, and as a result, Liu Jianjun rarely returned home.

  Wang Ting hated Liu Jianjun, but at that time she had already fallen in love with this man. On the one hand was love and on the other hand was hate, tormenting her to the point where she didn't want to live such a painful life anymore. She didn't want to continue living in a world that made her suffer so much.

  "Looking at what's written, Wang Ting should have committed suicide, right?" Guo Yining said after reading Wang Ting's diary. Wang Ting had written multiple times in her diary about wanting to leave this world that brought her sorrow, it seems that Wang Ting's death was indeed a suicide.

  Was she really going to commit suicide? On one hand, there was the man she both loved and hated, on the other hand, there was the man she used to love. But then there was another man in this world that she couldn't bear to part with, her son, Liu Hao. "Maybe, I didn't expect such a melodramatic plot, it's actually quite like an 8 o'clock TV drama. Still, we need to investigate Liu Kai's case from back then and see if he has any connection with Liu Jianjun."

  Wu Hui returned home and told Zhang Qiang about the events of the past few days. Zhang Qiang was full of interest, "No way, this is so melodramatic! Do you think it's possible that Liu Jianjun killed Wang Ting? Think about it, if he can't get what he wants, then he'll destroy everything. This way, no one gets anything, isn't that great?"

  "If Wang Ting died, wouldn't that be fulfilling for Wang Ting and Liu Kai? Do you think Liu Jianjun would do such a thing?" Death is the best fulfillment. Wu Hui thought that if Liu Jianjun couldn't get Wang Ting, he should keep her by his side and torment her as much as possible. Seeing her suffer might satisfy him.

  "Don't think so darkly, maybe Liu Jianjun is a magnanimous person, not only raising the child of his love rival as his own, but also allowing the woman he has loved for so many years to still have another man in her heart!"

  "If it were you, could you do it?"

  "Of course it can't be done!" Actually, Zhang Qiang said so, but he himself didn't believe it. Would there really be such a saint in this world?

  "So, Wang Ting's suicide still has many aspects that I find hard to understand."

  Zhang Qiang saw Wu Hui bowing his head in contemplation, and he suddenly felt that he had seen through some things. "Do you think it's possible that Wang Ting found evidence of Liu Kai's suicide? She loved Liu Jianjun, but couldn't hand over the evidence because if she did, Liu Jianjun would definitely go to jail for murder. But if she didn't hand over the evidence, Liu Kai wouldn't be able to rest in peace. Wang Ting couldn't think of a way to resolve both issues, so she hanged herself."

  Seeing Zhang Qiang's complacent look, Wu Hui sighed helplessly, "Yes, you're great, you're clever, but the possibility you mentioned is also plausible. It seems that we can't get stuck on this case anymore, and we should focus on the current case. This has already happened four times, and if we don't catch the killer soon, who knows who the next victim will be."

  "Yes, it's all over the internet, another case will definitely happen soon, and everyone is scolding the police for being incompetent. How is Guo Yining doing? Can he still hold on?" Zhang Qiang and Guo Yining had only met a few times, but since they had drunk together, in his opinion, they were already friends. Since his friend was now in a difficult situation, he should show some concern.

  "With a case like this, how can things go well? I just hope it ends soon."

  Wu Hui had something on his mind that he couldn't figure out, and he didn't eat much for dinner. He went back to his room and looked at the four cases.

  There must be something in between that he overlooked, what is it?

  Wu Hui came to room 2604 again, he didn't know why, but he always felt that he should come back to this room, there must be something in this room that they hadn't discovered yet, what was it?

  The room was filled with all sorts of things for women, but I couldn't find a single thing that didn't belong here. What is it?

  What is the relationship between Yang Liu and Liu Jianjun? Is that mysterious Audi car really Liu Jianjun's? And who was the man sitting in the Audi in the underground parking lot of Xihé Bar? If it wasn't Liu Jianjun, then who could it be? Could it be Liu Chong? Is it because of Liu Chong that we can't see any connection between Liu Jianjun and Yang Liu? What is the relationship between Liu Chong and Yang Liu? Is it just to make it convenient for Liu Jianjun to meet Yang Liu? Wu Hui has too many questions with no answers, but the more he can't get an answer, the more he wants one. He always pushes himself like this; if he could drive himself crazy, his heart should feel at ease.
