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

Chapter 386 You won't disappear, will you?

As Su Miaoyi and the others were asking questions, the little girl in the house suddenly ran out.

She ran to the man and cried, "Daddy, hug me! Daddy, hug me!"

The man picked her up.

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng didn't ask any more questions. When the little girl looked over, they both quickly put on a kind expression.

The nanny also came out.

The man handed the little girl to the nanny, saying, "Daddy has something to do. You play with the nanny for a while, and Daddy will come find you soon."

"Okay." The little girl said in a childish voice as the nanny carried her away.

The man watched them enter the room, then glanced at the room for a moment before looking at Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng and saying, "Back in high school, He Bin led the bullying of Yu Yi."

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng were both looking at him.

The man said, "If there is any retribution, let it fall on me. My daughter is innocent. If my daughter had gone through what she went through, I would make them all pay with their lives."

"What happened back then?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"When Yu Yi entered high school, she was first in her grade and was also very beautiful. It had only been a short time since the start of the semester, and many people went to her classroom to look at her. I went to see her, and He Bin went to see her too. There were also many boys who pursued Yu Yi."

"But Yu Yi is a very serious student and doesn't care about these things at all. I still remember that time, she was first in the grade in the first monthly exam, first in the midterm exam, and first in the final exam."

"Until the second semester of the first year of high school, as soon as school started, He Bin said he wanted to pursue Yu Yi. He was very high-profile and exaggerated. He was caught by the teacher several times, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself. So the more high-profile he was at the time, the more painful the slap in the face he got in the end."

“Yu Yi rejected him in front of many people, and he felt embarrassed, so he started to retaliate. Guan Zhou and Pei Rong were in the same class as Yu Yi, and they both listened to He Bin. They were the first to start it.”

"What have you all done?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“I tore up her notebook and put glue on her seat,” the man said. “I don’t know what others did. I’ve heard things like cutting her hair, hiding her school uniform, locking her in the bathroom and splashing water on her.”

“Several of us played pranks on Yu Yi to varying degrees. Later, Yu Yi dropped out of school, and the next news we heard was that she committed suicide.”

"You call this teasing?" Su Miaoyi frowned. "This is bullying!"

"I was young and didn't understand things back then," the man said.

“Your daughter is the one who’s young and doesn’t know any better. You’re both fifteen or sixteen years old, and you still call yourselves young and don’t know any better,” Su Miaoyi said. “If I beat you up and send you to the hospital, will you still say you’re young and don’t know any better?”

Zhuang Yanzheng tugged at her.

"You're really good at making excuses for yourself," Su Miaoyi said. "There are so many people in school, why don't others bully others? Why are you the only ones who bully others? Why are they considered sensible just because they're young?"

Zhuang Yanzheng pulled her again.

Su Miaoyi continued, "He was a top student in his grade, and you forced him to drop out of school. You still have the nerve to say he's young and doesn't understand? I think you're just not smart enough."

Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Zhuang Yanzheng quickly asked, "What did you all do at the party?"

“We’ll just sing, drink, and dance,” the man said.

Is there anything unusual about it?

The man shook his head: "No. It's just that... things went a little too far. The men and women were touching and hugging each other. Of course, I didn't participate in that. I'm absolutely loyal to my wife. And since I'm married, they all understand."

"What did you say after Pei Rong said in the group that Yu Yi committed suicide by jumping off a building?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Some people asked what happened. Some said they hadn't seen her in a long time. Some said they had almost forgotten about her. Others remained silent."

"Who hasn't spoken?"

“Guan Zhou, He Bin, and me,” the man said. “I’ve never been one to talk much in group chats.”

"Why do you remember it so clearly?"

“Because I’ve always felt sorry for Yu Yi, I paid special attention to Guan Zhou and He Bin, thinking they would say something, but they didn’t. Pei Rong also said that one sentence, and then didn’t say anything more.” The man found the chat history from the beginning of the year.

Indeed, the three of them remained silent.

"Did they see Yu Yi later?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"I don't know, they've never mentioned it." After asking a few more questions, they left the man's house.

Driving towards the Municipal Bureau, Zhuang Yanzheng said, "I've been working for so many years, but I still can't control my temper. I can't stop him no matter what I do."

Su Miaoyi tilted her head and looked at him: "Are you pulling me to stop me from talking? I thought you were giving me a signal to yell at him. If his daughter hadn't been home, I really would have yelled at him."

Zhuang Yanzheng was shocked: "...Did I go crazy from staying up all night?"

Su Miaoyi fell silent.

"Be more careful in the future, in case someone complains about you," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi looked out the window and said, "I'm not a police officer, so go ahead and complain. Anyway, they won't fire me."

Hearing her words, Zhuang Yanzheng frowned, paused, and asked, "Why don't you want to take the exam anymore?"

Su Miaoyi continued looking out the window: "Isn't this pretty good? We can go in and out of crime scenes, go in and out of the city police station, carry guns, and arrest people. We can also go up and punch criminals without any hesitation if we don't like them."

Zhuang Yanzheng remained silent.

After a moment of silence in the car, Zhuang Yanzheng said again, "So you won't come back until you catch Xie Zhiyan?"

Su Miaoyi looked at the receding scenery outside the window: "I don't want to talk about this right now."

Zhuang Yanzheng glanced at the back of her head: "We're just passing by Weiyang Palace, why don't you go back and rest for a while? We'll have to ask the other three people who attended the party after they get off work this afternoon."

"You should go back and rest for a while too," Su Miaoyi said.

"I'll go to the Municipal Bureau first."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

When they arrived at the entrance of Weiyang Palace, Zhuang Yanzheng stopped the car. As Su Miaoyi was getting ready, he glanced at her and then looked away, only to look back immediately.

Su Miaoyi had already opened the car door and stepped out with one leg when Zhuang Yanzheng suddenly grabbed her arm.

He was very strong and pulled her back to her seat.

Su Miaoyi turned her head to look at him.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked out the window on her side with a shocked, even fearful, expression; his face looked quite pale.

"what happened?"

"Can't you see the person standing at the entrance of the community?" Zhuang Yanzheng gripped her arm tightly.

Su Miaoyi looked at him, intending to tease him, but she could clearly sense his nervousness.

Of course she saw Xi Xian.

As soon as the car stopped, she saw Xi Xian walk out of the residential area.

I'm standing at the entrance of the residential area now, watching them.

“I saw her,” Su Miaoyi said. “Her name is Xixian. You can also understand her as the real Su Miaoyi.”

"The real Su Miaoyi?" Zhuang Yanzheng looked at Xi Xian and then at Su Miaoyi.

Su Miaoyi nodded: "Yes."

"She has come back?"

"Yes."

"And what about you?" Zhuang Yanzheng still held her arm. "She's back, you...don't need to leave, right?"

Su Miaoyi suddenly realized that he was worried that she would disappear from this world.

“I don’t need to leave.” After saying that, Su Miaoyi teased, “You and Shen Yanzhou are truly brothers; you both have quite the imagination.”
