  Shen Yu's gaze was fixed on the document for half a day before he stood up, his face slightly solemn. Liao Xin saw him and hastily threw down the cucumber he had just bitten into, staring at him blankly.

  "Let's go." Shen Yu picked up his coat from the sofa.

  "What's going on? Liao Xin sent Shen Yu out of the office, then picked up the cucumber and walked to Shen Yu's desk with it in her mouth. Ah, she's really pitiful, not allowed to be a forensic doctor, it seems like they're treating her as a laborer! She sighed again, bowed her head and began to sort through Shen Yu's files. Every time there's a huge pile of files for her to deal with. Let's see when she'll hide a few copies away, can't wait to see him anxious... Ah... although she thinks this way, she still doesn't have the guts..."

  She gathered several documents from the table into her bag, catching a glimpse of Shen Yu's still-on computer out of the corner of her eye.

  "He just left like that, without even turning off the computer. I have to think of everything." She pouted with a hint of grievance.

  "What is this?" The screen was still playing that video, Liao Xinxin was stunned for a moment, "Is this the video?"

  A girl in a dark green windbreaker stands on the riverbank, her clothes fluttering in the wind. The whole scene has an eerie and beautiful feel to it, but gives people a sense of foreboding.

  The girl slowly turned her head and stared in the direction of the camera, although the person recording was not close to the girl, but Liao Xinxin saw it clearly.

  She shuddered slightly.

  Liao Xinxin ran to the parking lot when Shen Yu had already assigned tasks to his subordinates and had just sat in the car.

  "It's still not slow." Shen Yu glanced at Liao Xinxin.

  Liao Xinxin tossed the large package containing files and tools onto the back seat with great force, then got into the car, panting, "Next time explain clearly, can't you? Otherwise I'll have to react for a long time...".

  Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl beside him with a helpless expression, "Fasten your seatbelt."

  "Oh."

  As soon as he fastened his seatbelt, the car sped off. Liao Xinxin leaned forward to take a look at the GPS, and their destination was near Sihou Bridge.

  "Is it something that happened at Sifang Bridge again?" Liao Xinxin asked.

  "Uh-huh." Shen Yu replied, "Have you watched the recording?"

  "Looked. Is that girl called Ge Tianyu?" Liao Xinxin said, shivering again, "Feels so scary."

  "It should be," Shen Yu said, "Ge Tianyu has a very special aura about him that makes it easier for people to recognize him." He paused and then continued, "But I feel like things are a bit too coincidental, Yu Chen just committed suicide, Ge Tianyu got into trouble again, and there's also that video."

  His eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems like someone is watching all of this from behind."

  Liao Xin didn't say another word, she buried more than half of her face into the collar of her clothes, only revealing her eyes.

  After hearing Shen Yu's words, she suddenly felt a little short of breath. Since Yu Chen's case, she had always had a strange feeling that someone was secretly watching them and occasionally pushing them, just like the video she had just seen. She had always thought she was too sensitive, but when she heard Shen Yu also had this feeling, she became somewhat flustered.

  The video of Ge Tianyu jumping into the river made her feel like she was being manipulated to move in a certain direction, and that destination wasn't real. She closed her eyes, and Ge Tianyu's face appeared in her mind again.

  Perhaps as a woman, she felt relatively more sensitive, and she always thought that Ge Tianyu's eyes didn't have any despair in them when he turned his head back, not even a hint of confusion or numbness, but rather a sense of smug smile. Although Ge Tianyu's face was expressionless in the video, at the moment she saw him turn his head, Liao Xinxin only had this feeling in her mind.

  She was smiling. A lively and vibrant smile, that's not an expression a person who jumped into the river to commit suicide would have.

  A few days ago, I investigated the case of Yu Chen with Shen Yi, and they also collected some information about Ge Tianyu. It is said that before marrying Yu Chen, the two were not familiar with each other at all, so why did he clearly indicate in his will before committing suicide that his property would be inherited by this "wife" who had almost no intersection?

  When Liao Xinxin first heard about this series of events, she felt extremely absurd. The marriage between Yu Chen and Ge Tianyu, who had never met before, Yu Chen's sudden awakening after the wedding but then committing suicide after returning to the Yu residence, and the strange will he left behind before his disappearance, leaving all his property to someone with a different surname... Every single thing made people feel that there were many loopholes, even laughable, yet somehow, there was always a crucial person or event that would explain and fill in all the loopholes.

  Leaves one suspicious but unable to find any concrete evidence, allowing things to continue unfolding in a confusing manner.

  Shen Yuekai arrived very quickly, and in less than ten minutes, he was near Sihuan Bridge.

  Liao Xinxin didn't realize the bridge had been sealed off until after he got out of the car. He guessed that they would first do some salvaging work on the bodies from the bridge. Several police cars were parked on the bridge, and a large group of policemen were walking around, doing who-knows-what.

  Apart from the police investigating the case, there were also reporters and onlookers gathered near Sihou Bridge. The two of them managed to squeeze through the crowd with great difficulty and made their way inside the cordon.

  "These guys' sources are quite reliable, and the news is spreading so quickly." Liao Xinxin glanced at the excited crowd behind her, and she felt a thrill, "This time, it's really true that many people in our city have experienced it."

  "They're all just a bunch of people who are extremely bored with life and like to stir up trouble for fun." A police officer walked over, chuckling.

  Liao Xinxin still remembers the policeman named Yuan Fei, who was gloating beside him when he was writing his report. Moreover, his surname is pronounced the same as that of the Uchiha clan from Naruto, making it hard for her to forget.

  "You're here too?" She rolled her eyes upwards and put on a disdainful expression.

  Yuan Fei's mouth twitched as he exaggeratedly bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Liao Xin, then half-raised his head and blinked his eyes, "Isn't this the arrival of Young Mistress Xin? I'm here specifically to serve you, Young Mistress."

  Liao Xinxin couldn't help but laugh at his awkward appearance and slapped Yuan Fei on the head, "Stop being poor with me, how's it going?"

  As soon as the case was mentioned, Yuan Fei, who had been smiling and joking all along, suddenly became serious, his face even turning solemn, and Liao Xinxin instantly felt a sense of foreboding.

  "What's wrong?" Liao Xinxin asked somewhat nervously.

  Yuan Fei stared at the police officers who were somewhat busy not far away, gritting his teeth.

  "There was no corpse in the river."
