Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 351 Let’s Go Back

Su Miaoyi has been in a coma for over a month and has not woken up.

All her vital signs were normal, but she remained unconscious.

Shen Shilan and Qin Chengyuan were both in the hospital room on the weekend.

Around noon, Yan Zhiqing arrived with lunch, along with Zhuang Yanzheng and Shen Yanzhou.

Shen Shilan was massaging Su Miaoyi's legs, worried that if she didn't move for too long, it would be bad for her blood vessels and muscles.

"Shilan, I've made some food, please have some," Yan Zhiqing said.

"Thank you for your help during this time, constantly bringing us food to the hospital," Qin Chengyuan said.

“Let’s not talk about these things between our two families.” Yan Zhiqing looked at Su Miaoyi, then at the numbers on the monitor. “It’s been quite stable. The doctor said the wound and stomach are healing very well. Don’t worry, she’ll wake up soon.”

Shen Shilan nodded.

"Eat something first, or it'll get cold." Yan Zhiqing opened several lunchboxes.

Shen Shilan and Qin Chengyuan went to eat on the side.

Shen Yanzhou sat on the edge of the bed, and after a while, he brushed Su Miaoyi's hair behind her ear and sighed.

Zhuang Yanzheng stood to the side without saying a word.

Su Miaoyi suddenly heard a faint sigh, and she clicked her tongue in annoyance. Who was it, so rude, sighing in her ear and disturbing her peaceful sleep?

She had a very long dream, and she was very happy in it.

She bought the sugar figurine, avoided everyone, and ran into the yard.

Shen Qingjue was sunbathing on a recliner in the yard.

She approached with the sugar figurine and tapped his chin.

Shen Qingjue opened her eyes and saw a dragon-shaped candy first. Then she turned her head and saw the person next to her, and immediately smiled: "Lele is here."

"Grandpa, keep your voice down, no one will know I'm coming." She handed him the sugar figurine in her hand. "Here. You can only have two or three bites, just to taste it. The doctor said to eat less sweets. I bought this at the risk of being scolded by my uncle."

"They're making a mountain out of a molehill. The doctor said it's just a little, not that you can't eat it at all." Shen Qingjue took a bite of the sugar figurine. "Oh, it's delicious. Lele, what will this family do without you?"

She moved a chair to the side and sat down: "I'm not very busy these days, so I'll come every day."

“Yes, it’s been over a month.” Shen Qingjue looked at the sugar figurine in her hand.

"What do you mean, more than a month?" she asked.

“You’ve been here for over a month,” Shen Qingjue said.

"Really?" She thought for a moment. "I don't feel like I can spend enough time with Grandpa. Every time it feels like the time is too short. Grandpa, why don't you come to work with me? That way we can see each other more often."

Shen Qingjue laughed: "You mean, I'm eighty years old, and you want me to go with you to catch bad guys? Do you think the bad guys run faster, or my blood pressure rises faster?"

“Eighty years old is the age to take risks,” she said. “Let me talk to my dad and we’ll make some arrangements for you.”

“Then Chengyuan will have to make so many self-criticisms at the conference,” Shen Qingjue said.

He was told to eat three bites, so Shen Qingjue ate three bites of the candy while chatting with the candy figurine in his hand.

Gradually, the wind picked up outside, and the air grew a bit chilly.

"Grandpa, let's go back inside. It's cold, and you're dressed too lightly," she said.

Shen Qingjue looked at her, staring at her.

She looked at him too, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

"Lele."

"Ok?"

"Let's go back. We've been here too long. Shilan and the others must be worried."

She didn't move or speak.

Shen Qingjue patted her head: "Go back, I'm leaving too."

"Grandpa." She knelt beside him, held his hand, and pressed her forehead against his hand. "I missed you so much."

"Grandpa misses you too." Shen Qingjue stroked her head. "Our Lele is destined for great things, and her heart is more open than Grandpa's. Having you in our Shen family is the glory and honor of the Shen family."

She began to cry softly.

“Child, don’t cry. If you think of your grandfather, he will always live on in your heart,” Shen Qingjue said. “Go back and do what you want to do. The Shen family and the Qin family are your support. Don’t be afraid. Move forward and do whatever you want to do.”

Suddenly, darkness enveloped her, and her hands were empty, leaving only her clasped hands. She lowered her head and sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

Darkness enveloped her, and even her sobs seemed to echo.

After a while, she knelt on the ground and looked around.

Darkness, boundless darkness, seemingly without end.

She was no stranger to this place.

When she died two years ago, she was in darkness for a long time until a voice said that it could grant her one wish.

She chose to go back.

Xie Zhiyan is not dead yet; she knows she failed to kill him.

If he doesn't die, many more people will be harmed by him in the future.

She has to go back.

The voice told her that if she chose to go back, she would have to pay a price.

Any price is acceptable, as long as Xie Zhiyan can be killed and his elaborate scheme to be dismantled.

The voice then told her to wait a little longer, to wait for an opportunity to go back.

After that, she remained in darkness. Sometimes she was awake, and sometimes she would fall into a long, deep sleep.

Even though she had the ability to tell time, she was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, and when she slept, she didn't know how long she slept. After a while, she had no idea how long she had been in the dark.

Until one day, she heard a voice again, and not only did she hear a voice, she also saw a girl who looked a lot like her.

Very similar.

She felt that neither of her parents could have given birth to someone so similar to her.

She asked her to help.

Let her help take care of your uncle and aunt so she can go back in her capacity.

She agreed and left the darkness.

Now she is in darkness again, looking back on the past year.

It turns out she really did come back, but she had forgotten who she was.

Not only did they return, but they were also able to see the crime scene.

Is this the price?

Although empathy can be painful at times, it helps in solving cases, so it's not a price to pay, but an aid and a blessing.

She wiped away her tears and looked around at the darkness: "Are you still there?"

No one responded to her.

She randomly chose a direction and kept walking forward. As she walked, light suddenly appeared ahead.

She continued walking forward, and the ground beneath her feet gradually turned into grass, and the darkness disappeared.

Not long after, a person appeared in front of them.

His features gradually became clearer.

She looked at him, and he had the same upright appearance and gentle smile as she remembered.

He smiled at her.

"Senior Brother Ye," she called out to him.

Ye Hansheng's smile deepened: "Le Yan, it's been a long time."

She wanted to laugh, but didn't. She looked at his chest.

Ye Hansheng said, "It's been fine for a long time."

She did not speak.

The sensation of the dagger piercing his chest seemed to linger in his hand.

Ye Hansheng still smiled, her voice gentle: "Le Yan, don't feel guilty about this. I've already been exposed, I can't survive. If my death can bring you success, then my death will be worthwhile."
