Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 256 Perfectionism 10
Xu Youan's parents were not just talking; they brought traffic police officers to confront him directly.

"This was originally just a car accident caused by an accident, and it should have gone through the normal trial process. But your criminal investigation team inexplicably interfered, saying that his death was very suspicious, and insisted on turning an accident into a case of ulterior motives, and started investigating everywhere."

"Tell me, could anyone have planned this car accident? The weight of the goods the semi-trailer driver was transporting, which lane he was taking, when the driver with high beams turned on his lights to flash, when my son was passing by, when he was hit by the flashing lights, and how he would react when he was fatigued—could anyone have calculated all of this so precisely?"

"His death was an accident! We don't want to complicate things so much, letting him lie there rotting by the funeral home while you guys investigate this messy affair! I think you guys are too idle. There are so many murder cases to investigate, yet you have time to look at traffic police surveillance footage and inexplicably investigate a car accident!"

They weren't being unreasonable; they spoke logically and firmly, and their accusations against the criminal investigation team were very clear.

Zheng Yan tried to explain but couldn't get a word in edgewise. Later, when he could explain, it involved Tan Jia's dream, which he couldn't talk about. So, facing their angry glares, he remained silent for a while, which was unusual for him.

Then they asked, "We found a miniature camera in Xu Youan's car, and his friend Qu Xiangbin couldn't explain it clearly..."

“We know the Qu family’s children. He and my son are very good friends. There have never been any conflicts or disputes over interests. He would never kill someone, let alone my son! The camera is very likely Youan’s own. He just left it in the car. In the past few months, he has been proposing and getting married. In order to record important moments at any time, he asked Xiao Qu for a lot of surveillance cameras.”

Zheng Yan wanted to say that this wasn't something placed casually; it was specifically hidden in the back of the seat so that the deceased's every word and action could be clearly seen. However, this involved Tan Jia's dream, so he opened his mouth but couldn't come up with any stronger evidence.

When Xu Youan's parents saw that he couldn't answer, their attitude hardened even more, demanding that they stop investigating and let the traffic police close the case so that Xu Youan could be buried peacefully.

To the uninformed, their demands seemed perfectly reasonable, and their reddened eyes and forced composure made them appear quite pitiful.

In contrast, the silence of the criminal investigation team is highly unreasonable.

The commotion was a bit loud, so Zheng Yan's boss strolled out and, as if dealing with a children's dispute, first lectured Zheng Yan, then smiled and shook hands with Xu's parents, inviting them into his office to talk.

They took the people away, and before closing the door, they glared at Zheng Yan and the others, then turned around and spoke with gentle laughter.

Zheng Yan was glared at, so he turned around and glared at the others.

Tan Jia pretended to look at the sky, touched his eyebrows, and then busily began to knead dough.

Tan Ming turned his head to study the patterns on the wall, while Xiao Chen touched his head in the air.

Everyone seemed to be working up a great deal of energy.

Zheng Yan pointed at them with his finger, looking annoyed, then turned his gaze to Yuan Qing, who had been silent all along.

Yuan Qing was pale and listless, unable to even force a smile, staring blankly at the ground.

"Dr. Yuan, do you also agree that this matter should be closed as an accident?"

She heard her voice calling her and slowly raised her head.

However, she didn't answer, but asked first, "You just said that you found out something about Qu Xiangbin?" "He and your husband had some mysterious shared interests. When we asked him, he stammered and couldn't answer. Also, his family runs a surveillance business, and there happened to be a miniature camera in your husband's car when the accident happened."

Actually, it remains to be confirmed who planted the camera. As Zheng Yan said this, he subtly glanced at Yuan Qing's reaction.

But she only slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a fleeting self-deprecating expression.

Then silence returned.

After a while, she said, "He shouldn't have had this accident. If he hadn't rushed back to see me and had stayed at the hotel in the conference center that day, he wouldn't have had this accident. If he had hired a designated driver and hadn't been driving while fatigued, he wouldn't have had this accident either."

Whether it was an accident or murder, Xu Youan drove back overnight to see her as soon as possible, and his death cannot be separated from her influence.

Tan Jia recalled Xu You'an's parents' indifference towards Yuan Qing over the past ten minutes, and it seemed they were also taking their anger out on her.

After saying this, she skillfully wiped away her tears, turned her head to look at the empty wall to avoid everyone's sympathetic gaze, and fell silent again.

Then she said softly, "The Xu Youan I know doesn't have any bad habits. He's considerate in his dealings with people, has high emotional intelligence, is loyal to his friends, and patient with women. He never complains to me about anything. When he was pursuing me, he would wait outside the hospital for five or six hours and work in his car, just so I could be the first one to see the gift he gave me after get off work and go out to eat together. After we got together, he took on most of the housework, would decorate the room with me on his days off, would make handicrafts, and would also quietly study with me."

“He was really good to me. I wasn’t planning to get married so soon, but he was so good that I, my parents, and my friends all thought that if I missed him, I might never meet someone as suitable again. At that time, I told him frankly that a necessary condition for marriage was that I had to investigate him, just like both men and women who have sex need to provide health reports.”

"He agreed readily and told me to check without any hesitation. Actually, when I told him, I had already started checking. The results showed that he was in good health, had a good financial situation, no messy ex-girlfriends, no ambiguous relationships, and his close friends were all clean."

"I've looked into Qu Xiangbin too. I know they occasionally get together to play pool, video games, go camping, and observe the Milky Way. But..."

However, there are still undiscovered secrets, and these secrets may point to the fact that "Xu Youan is actually a scumbag."

Yuan Qing took a deep breath and tightened her grip on her handbag, as if venting the complex emotions churning inside her.

When Xu's parents came out, she stood up and followed them out without saying another word or even glancing at the police.

"So what exactly is her attitude? Does she still want to investigate?" Xiao Chen stared at her back.

Zheng Yan watched and sighed, "I don't want to investigate anymore. If we stop here, she can still hypnotize herself and continue to believe that Xu Youan is a good man who treats her very well and is a good person in general."

Rather than a disgusting scumbag who might have lewd tendencies.

When a person forms a relationship with themselves—friends, lovers, relatives—it takes even greater courage to confront their disgusting sides, because their awfulness also proves the poorness of their own judgment and the messiness of their own family and marital relationships.

It takes a lot of courage to admit that you made a wrong choice.

Tan Jia could only sigh as she gazed at Yuan Qing's back, which always lagged behind Xu's parents by a few steps.
