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

Chapter 457 They Know Each Other
"What did you see in that homeless man?" Qin Chengyuan asked.

“He knows Qianying,” Su Miaoyi said.

Qin Chengyuan was surprised and turned his head to look at her: "You know her? You saw Qianying?"

“Yes,” Su Miaoyi said. “I saw Qianying and heard them say a few words. The homeless man was called Gongchuan. I’m not sure which two characters it was, but they were both in the first tone.”

"What do you see in the footage?" Qin Chengyuan asked.

Su Miaoyi thought for a moment.

The scene begins under the bridge.

She saw it from the perspective of a homeless person.

She heard footsteps, unhurried footsteps.

She opened her eyes, sat up, and saw a figure. Only when the figure got closer did she realize who it was.

It's Chisakura.

She looked at Qianying for a while, then closed her eyes and lay down again, not wanting to pay attention to her.

Qianying moved closer and squatted down beside him, showing no disgust whatsoever: "Brother Chuan, why bother? Why make yourself look like this?"

“If you have sinned, you must atone for it. Qianying, you and Zhiyan, don’t make the same mistake again. We’ve been through those things since we were little, we know how bitter that kind of life is, and we both hate those who are high and mighty and treat people like playthings instead of people. Do we want to become like that?”

“We are different from them.” Chisakura’s voice was not loud, but she was also eager to argue.

"How is it different? It's drug manufacturing and trafficking. Haven't you seen what happens to drug addicts in the end?"

“They got involved themselves,” Chisakura said.

"Are you sure? How many people were lured in, accidentally inhaled it, or were scammed? The source is drugs. Without it, there would be no persecution. Go look at those broken families, those dead people. How can you not know how harmful it is?"

"So what?" Chisakura spoke slowly. "Does that mean we're allowed to hurt us like that? Why should we be the ones who get hurt? Why should we be the ones who get hurt while others can grow up happily and carefree, with parents who love and care for us? We're already pitiful enough to be born as orphans, why do we have to go through all that?"

Chisakura's tone was completely flat, as if she were talking about something so trivial that it wouldn't cause any trouble.

"But why should we make others go through that? Those who harmed us are dead, and those who are being persecuted now are just as innocent as we were back then."

Qianying paused for a moment, then chuckled softly: "Gong Chuan, without Xie Zhiyan, we would all have died back then. We would have been played to death, then buried in the back garden as fertilizer, and our lives would have ended just like that."

"If we don't see eye to eye, let's not reminisce. What brings you here?"

Chisakura took out a small sealed bag from her pocket, inside which was a capsule: "A new type, can it be made?"

The man opened his eyes and looked at the capsule: "Isn't there a finished product? Whoever made it should make it themselves. Why are you asking me?"

“It’s a semi-finished product, you need to refine and improve it,” Qianying said. “You can definitely figure out how to make it later. Among the people I know, only you can do it.”

“I said I won’t do it,” the man said.

Chisakura paused for a few seconds: "Really not going to do it?"

“No. I’d rather die than do these things again,” the man said.

"Then go die," Chisakura said calmly.

The man looked at her.

Chisakura pushed the capsule in the sealed bag forward.

The man looked at her, then at the capsule.

He took it, smiled, opened the sealed bag, and swallowed the capsule.

Chisakura kept her outstretched hand and watched him swallow the capsule. Her expression tightened for a moment, but she didn't say anything.

She just looked at him. The drug took effect quickly.

The man experienced hallucinations after consuming it.

He saw a little girl.

He saw a little girl calling him "Brother Gongchuan" come to pick him up.

That's all the footage Su Miaoyi saw.

I went back to the station.

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng told them what she had seen.

"So we can confirm that the homeless man ingested the drug," Chu Xingrou said.

“I know Qianying, we have similar experiences, and it's like we were in an orphanage,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“Qianying isn’t from the Jinghai Welfare Home,” Su Miaoyi said. “We’re not sure if that homeless man is from Jinghai. They might have met at the previous welfare home, or they might have met on that island.”

"A homeless man who makes drugs sounds like a very capable person," Qin Chengyuan said. "He also talked about atonement. He may have helped them make drugs in the past, but later felt guilty and chose to become homeless to torment himself."

"That's what he meant," Su Miaoyi said.

"Yan Zheng," Qin Chengyuan called out to him.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at him and immediately understood: "Okay, I'll talk to Yan Cheng and have the autopsy done to check the d in the homeless man's body to see if it matches the one in Jin Tian's body. If they are the same, we can confirm that the figure in the surveillance footage is Qian Ying."

Qin Chengyuan nodded.

Zhuang Yanzheng called Yan Cheng and arranged for two more people to accompany Yan Cheng to the funeral home.

“The man who was hit by the car also experienced hallucinations before he was hit, and it is very likely that he also ingested drugs,” Su Miaoyi said. “The man who was hit was hit on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the homeless man was hit on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Jintian was hit in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.”

"What came to mind?" Qin Chengyuan asked.

“Qianying said that the capsule was a semi-finished product. She knew it was a semi-finished product. Judging from her expression, she probably also knew that eating it would kill people.” Su Miaoyi thought for a moment and said, “So she wasn’t experimenting; she wanted to kill someone.”

"Random killings?" Chu Xingrou asked. "Why?"

"To vent my emotions," Su Miaoyi said.

She lived with Chiyomi and knows her quite well.

The death of that homeless man still had some impact on her.

"Where did they get that half-finished product?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked. "Did they make it themselves? It doesn't seem like it."

“It doesn’t seem like it,” Su Miaoyi said. “Judging from Qianying’s words, it seems that someone should be able to produce the finished product, but they can only produce the semi-finished product.”

"So, besides looking for homeless people, could she be looking for someone else here?" Qin Chengyuan asked.

“Perhaps her main purpose was to find someone else.” Su Miaoyi closed her eyes and recalled everything. “Going to find the homeless man is more like she couldn’t find him, remembered him, or simply wanted to see him, so she went to find him.”

“If that’s the case, then Jinghai is hiding a ‘drug-controlling expert’ that we don’t know about,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Investigate Qianying's whereabouts," Qin Chengyuan said. "Search extensively."

"Yes," Zhuang Yanzheng replied.

"She may still have unfinished drugs in her possession. Whether it's for testing or random killing, we must find her as soon as possible and prevent her from harming any more people."

　Goodnight everybody.

　　Good night,
