Chapter Thirteen: Crisis X Black Car

  We took the video card from Grandpa Sun, and he looked at me with a strange gaze, his expression wanting to say something but stopping himself. The wrinkles on his dark yellow face were like caterpillars crawling, and his eyes had a layer of turbid white membrane on the surface due to cataracts, but through this layer of turbid flesh, I could see two cold lights shooting out from the depths of his pupils like ice.

  On the way back to Wu Xie's house, no one spoke a word. The car was silent, and everyone knew that once they returned to Wu Xie's house and watched the video on the card, the truth about Yang Hong's murder case would be revealed. I don't know why my heart felt so conflicted at this moment. I yearned to see the contents of the video immediately, but at the same time, a thin layer of loss rose up in me. I gazed out the window, and the car was speeding along the road by the Long River. The window outside was a blurry night scene, with the buildings on the opposite bank of the river shining brightly. A cruise ship slowly sailed across the river.

  "Kui Ruo Lan broke the silence: 'I really didn't expect this case to be solved just like that.'"

  Chen Qiuyang said: "Hehe, isn't it good to get to the bottom of things earlier? At least we can give the deceased Yang Hong a fair deal."

  I turned around and looked ahead, saying: "Don't you think it's strange?"

  "What's strange?"

  "Firstly, why did He Jiali give the video card to Grandpa Sun? Of course, this reason can be explained as because Grandpa Sun is He Jiali's only relative on the mainland, but I just find it strange that He Jiali could have personally thrown away or destroyed the video card herself. Secondly, in the case of Yang Hong's murder, did a murderer actually exist? Because if there was a murderer, after watching the video, Grandpa Sun would definitely report to the police, but he didn't."

  "Let's not think too much about this last question for now," said Aoi Wakana softly. "We'll know everything once we get back to Muse Corporation and play the video."

  With a loud crash, just as Chen Qiuyang was driving the car to the intersection, a black Jeep suddenly flew out from the side and violently collided with our car.

  With a loud crash, our car was hit by this sudden impact and slid rapidly to the side. At this critical moment of extreme danger, driver Chen Qiuyang fully demonstrated his superb driving skills, controlling the steering wheel and letting the car drift with the momentum.

  The wheels screeched and smoked on the road, emitting a piercing hissing sound. After the牧马人 jeep rammed into our car and saw that it didn't send us flying, it immediately adjusted its direction and launched a second fierce attack. "Damn, dare to mess with me!" Chen Qiuyang was extremely manly at this moment, not a bit feminine, he stepped on the gas pedal and sped forward.

  A black Jeep Cherokee with tinted windows so you can't see who the driver is. But it's clear they're intentionally attacking us.

  "The other party's purpose is clearly to seize the video card!"

  "Then let them see my superb driving skills! Wanting to catch up with me isn't that easy! The 42 jobs I've done after graduating from police school weren't for nothing!"

  Along the Longjiang Road, we sped forward one after another, staging a life-and-death high-speed car chase. I looked at the牧马人 Jeep constantly closing in behind us and said: "The other side is ruthless and vicious, their moves are extremely poisonous, they might be thinking of having us end up in a car crash with no survivors. Moreover, all their cars are fully covered, the purpose is to prevent us from seeing their true faces. Continuing to dodge is not the best solution. Autumn Sun, turn the car into the downtown area where there are many people, then we'll get off."

  "Get off? Are you crazy, Thirteen? What if they crash into us the moment we get out of the car? We don't even know how many people they have."

  "It doesn't matter, I'm a top graduate from police school, taking on ten with one is no big deal!"

  "Don't brag anymore, looking at your figure, I really can't think of any agility."

  "I'm the boss, everything listens to me."

  The car came to the entrance of the city and stopped. I and Kui Ruo Lan got off the car and stood on the road, facing the speeding Jeep Cherokee. As expected, the car slowed down continuously and then stopped 15 meters away from us. The door slowly opened, and a person walked out from inside.

  His entire body was black, and his hat was pulled down low, so I still couldn't see his face. The driver who had tried to run us over was the same person who had followed me after I left the hospital that day. He didn't lift his head to look at me, but instead slowly raised his right hand in a very eerie pose, with stiff and twisted movements like a zombie, giving me a thumbs up.

  When his thumb pointed at me, my heart suddenly accelerated, as if a silver needle had stabbed me. This action lasted for about 5 seconds. During this process, he still didn't lift his head to look at me. If someone drove by and saw this scene, they would definitely find it very strange. The man in black lowered his right hand, turned around, got into the Jeep, made a turn, raised a cloud of white smoke, and sped away.

  Kui Ruo Lan and I both let out a sigh of relief, she said: "What's the story with this man in black? Once the Yang Hong case is over, I'll definitely investigate him thoroughly. Of course, it's possible that he's the killer who murdered Yang Hong and wants to get his hands on the video card to destroy the evidence of his crime."

  We got back on the bus and drove smoothly all the way back to Museisha.

  The lights in the hall of the Wei family mansion emitted a dazzling white glow, which I didn't particularly like. I had suggested to Manager Zou that he replace these overly dazzling white lights with some softer ones. But Manager Zou's response was: "Thirteen, you can't accept these lights because deep down inside, there is a dark corner in your heart. You should let the light shine on that corner."

  Zou Guanjia's words made me very uncomfortable, there are some secrets that I have deeply buried, and I will never let them be exposed to the sunlight.

  Chen Qiuyang quickly inserted the video card into the card reader and connected it to the computer. He said, "So, we're about to get close to the final truth, is everyone ready?"

  Everyone's face was filled with solemnity, the spacious and bright hall of the Weiya Society was so quiet that even a silver needle dropping to the ground could be heard. Huī Ruòlán said impatiently: "Hurry up, everyone almost died from waiting for this video."

  Video starts playing——

  He Jiali spent a huge sum of money to buy the most advanced high-tech camera in order to take sneak shots of her idol, Yang Hong. This is why the video she took was so clear and realistic. However, what first appeared on the video wasn't Yang Hong, but a shaky image without any human figure, because He Jiali kept rotating the camera.

  Then, He Jiali's pale face appeared. She was disheveled and had no blood color on her face, with two large black eye circles, looking like a ferocious female ghost. She said to the camera: "These few nights I've been secretly filming him in the room, sometimes I feel very pathetic, ridiculous and pitiful, but I couldn't control myself from not filming him."

  He Jiali's nostrils had nasal mucus flowing out, she didn't use toilet paper, but instead used her palm to roughly wipe it open.

  She continued: "I also know that I'm sick, having secretly loved him for so many years, and he doesn't even know I exist. I really love Yang Hong so much, every moment I think about myself naked and tightly attached to his smooth and charming body. Tonight, I want to sneak a peek at him again, the last few nights I sneaked a peek at him, he seems to be getting stranger and stranger, it looks like he's sick, with gastroenteritis. Watching him go back to his room to take those pills makes me feel so much pain, I'd rather have all his pain transferred to my body, so he wouldn't suffer so much. Unfortunately, I'm not God, and I can't appear in front of him to tell him to let me take care of him. Will Yang Hong have stomach pain tonight? I'll sneak a peek at you again, hope you won't find out."

  The camera began to stretch out of the window and then hung down, Yang Hong's eerie death video that night finally started. However, despite our constant vaccination and psychological preparation, what happened in Yang Hong's room next was unbelievable, making me almost vomit with fear, my body constantly trembling with cold sweat, and the scene where He Jiali went mad and stabbed herself with a syringe made me feel unprecedented terror.
