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

Chapter 450 Make a Wish

When they returned to the Shen family home, Xia Ye and Shen Jun were waiting for them in the living room.

Although the two had already let each other know they were safe, they were still worried until they saw them. They only went to their room to sleep after the two returned.

Su Miaoyi and Shen Yanzhou returned to their respective rooms.

After washing up and returning to her room, Su Miaoyi couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

I'm experiencing insomnia, which is rare for me; my sleep-in-the-moment function has failed me.

My mind is filled with the voices of Shen Yanzhou and Jiang Xutong.

Unable to sleep, Su Miaoyi searched for Jiang Xutong online.

The show she watched that afternoon was her first one, and it received a very good response.

Jiang Xutong is also very beautiful.

Su Miaoyi watched online for over an hour.

Feeling thirsty, she went to get some water, only to find there was no water in the room, so she went downstairs again.

Then he bumped into Shen Yanzhou, who was also in the kitchen getting a drink of water.

Shen Yanzhou was clearly still awake.

"Still not asleep?" Shen Yanzhou looked at Su Miaoyi, who also seemed to be awake.

"Insomnia," Su Miaoyi said. "You're having insomnia too?"

"I finished some work," Shen Yanzhou poured her a glass of water. "What caused your insomnia?"

"Because of you," Su Miaoyi said. "Why do you think Jiang Xutong came to Jinghai?"

Shen Yanzhou looked at her: "Still thinking about it?"

"My professional instincts kicked in," Su Miaoyi said. "How could it be such a coincidence that she lives upstairs from us? It's too much of a coincidence!"

Shen Yanzhou didn't speak: "Does she seem to have some kind of problem?"

“She doesn’t look like it to me,” Su Miaoyi said. “I don’t know if it was because I had some bias at the beginning, but I had a very good impression of her before she spoke to you.”

"You're just attracted to her looks, aren't you?" Shen Yanzhou said.

"Don't you think she's very pretty?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Beautiful."

Su Miaoyi glanced at him and took a couple of sips of water: "She's pretty carefree. She just talks to you like that, not afraid that you'll expose her."

Shen Yanzhou pressed her head down, making her look at him: "Is this the image of your brother in your mind? Would your brother do something so despicable?"

Su Miaoyi pushed his hand away: "Are you sleepy?"

"What?"

"How about...having something to drink?" Su Miaoyi suggested.

Shen Yanzhou checked the time and figured that if he slept now, he wouldn't be able to sleep for long anyway, so he might as well not sleep at all.

"What would you like to drink?" Shen Yanzhou walked towards the wine cabinet.

"Anything is fine, anything is acceptable."

"Let's go to the second floor," Shen Yanzhou said. "The wine in the wine cabinet on the second floor is good."

"Walk."

The two went upstairs and opened a bottle of wine that Shen Jun was reluctant to drink.

After taking a bite, Su Miaoyi said, "Let my uncle know what it means to be wary of a thief within the family. On the last day of this year, I'll give my uncle a surprise."

"Let me teach my dad a lesson: good things shouldn't be kept for yourself. If I don't drink it, someone else will." Shen Yanzhou finished speaking and the two clinked glasses. "It's truly a treasured vintage; it's delicious."

Su Miaoyi smiled and nodded: "Drink less, don't drink too much, or you'll mess things up tomorrow."

"Can't you get up?" Shen Yanzhou said with a smile.

Su Miaoyi felt that his smile didn't seem like that of a good person, so she didn't say anything.

"Do you remember when you were nine years old? On New Year's Eve, I tried to wake you up, but you were so asleep that I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did," Shen Yanzhou said with a smile. "It had never happened before. Grandpa was so scared that he insisted that you had offended something."

Su Miaoyi smiled as well, remembering that there was such a thing.

“My dad quickly called the doctor over. My aunt and uncle came from home. When they saw the doctor and you lying in bed, they were so scared that their legs went weak. They didn’t know what had happened.”

“Yeah, I heard you were so scared you cried your eyes out,” Su Miaoyi said. Shen Yanzhou laughed so hard his shoulders shook: “I did cry, but not a lot. I’m not Zhuang Yanzheng. I always cry silently. Only Zhuang Yanzheng cries at the top of his lungs, the super loud kind.”

Su Miaoyi laughed out loud.

"Later, the doctor did a thorough examination and said you were sleeping," Shen Yanzhou said. "But no matter what we did, we couldn't wake you up. My dad even said that the doctor was a quack, saying, 'Why can't you wake someone who's sleeping?'"

"It's so hard for doctors to suffer such undeserved misfortune," Su Miaoyi said.

"When I woke up later, I asked why and found out that some people were too happy during the New Year and played with things in their rooms all night before falling asleep at dawn, so they couldn't be woken up."

Su Miaoyi laughed until her stomach hurt.

The two chatted for a long time. After finishing their drinks, they stopped drinking and continued talking until the housekeeper got up. Only then did they go back to their room to wash up.

After having breakfast early, the family went to the cemetery.

Shen Shilan and Qin Chengyuan went directly to the cemetery from the courtyard.

The two families met outside the cemetery.

Su Miaoyi looked at her maternal grandparents' tombstones, offered incense, and then stood silently to the side without saying a word.

After a while, Shen Yanzhou handed her a tissue.

Su Miaoyi tilted her head and looked at her: "What are you doing?"

"I think you're going to cry," Shen Yanzhou said softly.

"You've always been the one who cries more easily, so you can keep it yourself."

"Look at you, spreading rumors again."

The two spoke in hushed tones.

Shen Jun suddenly cleared his throat and began to complain: "Mom and Dad, those two rascals in the house secretly drank the wine I've been saving for six years."

Su Miaoyi and Shen Yanzhou fell silent instantly, listening quietly.

“Mom and Dad, go and beat them up in their dreams tonight. I can’t bear to, so you can be the bad guys,” Shen Jun said.

“Brother, Mom and Dad will only beat you up in your dreams,” Shen Shilan said. “You need to understand your place in this family.”

Shen Jun fell silent.

After finishing, the family walked back, passing by Qin Leyan's tomb.

Shen Yanzhou instinctively stepped to the side to block the attack.

Su Miaoyi glanced at him: "Did you twist your back?"

The four adults, including Shen Shilan, glanced at them, knowing where they were, and continued walking without saying a word.

"You go first," Shen Yanzhou said.

Su Miaoyi stood still: "Can't I light incense for myself?"

Shen Yanzhou froze for a moment, then stepped aside.

“I saw him when I visited Grandpa last time.” Su Miaoyi looked at the tombstone. “I’ll offer incense to his previous body.”

"Listen to what you're saying, it's so weird."

Su Miaoyi didn't say anything, lit an incense stick, closed her eyes, and said, "Please bless me so that everything goes smoothly and as I wish. I hope the case will be solved soon and that there will be news soon. I hope that all cases in the future can be solved smoothly. It would be best if criminals in this world disappeared, and there would be no more cases in the future, and the world would be at peace. Please bless my family with health and longevity, and please bless my colleagues with safety and well-being."

Shen Yanzhou looked at her.

After Su Miaoyi finished speaking, she bowed and placed the incense sticks in the incense burner.

Shen Yanzhou said, "Are you treating this place like a wishing well?"

"What if it works?"

Shen Yanzhou was silent for two seconds, then pushed her to stand a little to the side: "You over there, I'll make a wish."

　It's getting even later.

　　During my period, I have abdominal pain and feel weak all over.

　　I haven't corrected the typos from yesterday either.

　　Let's revise it together tomorrow.

　　She is too weak.

　　Goodnight everybody
