She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Victim: Girl Murdered on a Rainy Night 10

Xiao Lian, Zhai Jinsheng’s former high school classmate, died at the most beautiful age of eighteen, just after finishing the college entrance examination, and was supposed to embrace university life, but was cruelly killed by Zhai Jinsheng.

Xiao Lian was an excellent student, beautiful, a somewhat quiet girl, liked by many people.

Zhai Jinsheng looked average but not ugly, fairly middling, yet his academic performance was good. He was rather introverted and had a long-standing unrequited love for Xiao Lian. Due to his academic aura, cleanliness, and friendliness towards girls, Zhai Jinsheng was quite liked by some of the girls.

Zhao Feng was one of them.

In their senior year, Zhai Jinsheng confessed to Xiao Lian, who rejected him citing the need to focus on studying.

When Zhai Jinsheng was feeling down, he discovered that Xiao Lian would often go watch the school boys play basketball, particularly focusing on a boy named Su Ruoyang, who was indeed handsome but lacking academically.

In his heart, Zhai Jinsheng felt furious, feeling deceived.

After the college entrance exam ended, he secretly confessed to Xiao Lian again, only to be rejected once more.

In his rage, Zhai Jinsheng didn’t act immediately, but when he saw Xiao Lian laughing and chatting with Su Ruoyang, his anger reached its peak. He then devised a plan to lure Xiao Lian out, claiming it was for a final farewell, initially planning to possess her.

At that time, he completely lost his mind and didn’t know what he was doing.

Naturally, he failed to achieve his goal and accidentally killed Xiao Lian, which was witnessed by the following Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng helped him deal with the aftermath, and later Zhao Feng’s father helped cover it up, allowing the matter to be completely concealed.

Back then, conditions were backward, and with intentional cover-ups, they escaped punishment.

Twelve years later, the demon inside Zhai Jinsheng couldn’t be contained any longer.

”I pitied you, helped you find a tutoring job, painstakingly aided you, and yet you chose to imitate Xiao Lian by watching those school boys play basketball!” Zhai Jinsheng yelled at Ah Chen, his entire being consumed with anger, ”What’s so good about those basketball players? Their academic performance is mediocre, completely inferior to those top students in the class. With your grades, you should choose the outstanding ones!”

He seemed possessed: ”The teacher warned you, telling you not to overthink, focus on studying, and get into a good university without following those people in early romance. Once you get into a good school, can’t you choose whoever you want? Yet you still insisted on focusing on those basketball players?”

Ah Chen: ”Looking for a bit won’t really matter. Even if I indeed choose them, it’s not your place to judge. If you’re not happy, you can choose not to recommend this job to me. Teacher Zhai, stop finding excuses for your killing. You are simply suffering from unrequited love and jealousy.”

Of course, reasoning with a psycho is futile, they won’t listen.

”As long as you don’t go looking at those basketball players, I won’t do anything to you.”

”It’s all your fault.”

”It’s your fault.”

Zhai Jinsheng was taken away looking demented, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

This reasoning was utterly ridiculous.

Yet, as policemen, they’ve truly encountered even more absurd motives for murder, ones unimaginable to a normal person.

”Is there really no problem?” A female officer furrowed her brows, looking anxiously at Ah Chen’s wound. She wanted to say there was a problem, but this girl appeared fine.

”No problem, let’s record my statement first.” Ah Chen said, ”I don’t want to waste too much time.”

”Alright then, if you have any issues, feel unwell anywhere, make sure to speak up immediately, understand?”

Actually, she thought they should treat the wound first, but this girl firmly refused.

Clearly, they should forcefully send her for treatment, but for some reason, no one had this awareness. Even when she thought of it, she forgot again, proceeding to record the statement routinely.

Qi Li finished recording the statement, and weakly walked toward Jiang Xiang, looking as if he were practically dead.

Jiang Xiang glanced at him, consoling, ”Some people are just better at pretending.”

”If you can’t comfort people, don’t speak.” Qi Li said, resting one hand on Jiang Xiang’s shoulder, with a forlorn expression, ”Really can’t understand.”

”Those who knew him probably wouldn’t believe it, right?”

”That’s the reality, in fact, plenty of such instances happen in the world.” Jiang Xiang said, mentioning how his mom is always busy traveling nationwide, leaving him raised mainly by his father, spending more days at the police station than home, inevitably encountering many things, witnessing plenty of cases where people appear kind but are actually vile.

”Yeah.” Qi Li also acknowledges this fact, having read many news, heard various stories.

”By the way, how did you know Ling Qian? You didn’t study in Pu Hui County.” Qi Li queried, curious.

Jiang Xiang replied lightly, ”Online friend.”

”Online dating?” Qi Li leaned closer, eyes brimming with curiosity. His cousin engaging in online dating?

Jiang Xiang pushed him away, ”Online friend.”

”Oh, alright, an online love not yet started.” Qi Li self-comprehended.

Jiang Xiang felt somewhat helpless. He gazed at that Taoist gate, feeling a tinge of unhappiness, unsure of when they could meet again.

She said there was an end, so he would wait.

Once she emerges, it’s time for their farewell.

Barely spoken a few words, feeling a bit reluctant.

”What’s wrong? So sullen, perhaps she doesn’t like you?” At this moment, Qi Li’s mood improved significantly and began caring about Jiang Xiang’s issue.

Jiang Xiang held his arms, ”Brother, you talk too much.”

”Hey, isn’t this out of concern for you? Ling Qian indeed is a good girl, and if you two are together, I’ll fully support it. But she’s still in sophomore year, and you’ve just graduated, so there’s plenty of time. But, by the way, is she interested in you?” Qi Li asked with a wink.

Jiang Xiang stayed silent, recollecting their brief interactions. She mentioned wanting to find him, so perhaps there was interest?

Qi Li wanted to push him further, but Ah Chen exited at this time.

”Going to the hospital now?” Qi Li spoke first, ”Let my cousin take you. He surely is happy to do this.”

Being a good cousin, naturally, one must strive for the cousin’s future happiness!

Merely Jiang Xiang didn’t respond, and Ah Chen didn’t agree, which worried Qi Li to death. This cousin of his, though he had helped, yet remained silent, driving him crazy?

”I’m not going to the hospital.” Ah Chen told them, her gaze shifted to Jiang Xiang, without many words, just a look, and he understood she was saying goodbye.

Qi Li was still bewildered, not going to the hospital? Isn’t she genuinely iron-willed with that undisposed wound?

The wound was caused by Zhai Jinsheng; it ought to be handled by Zhai Jinsheng’s family without costing her a cent. What’s more, even if that side hesitated in paying temporarily, anyone among so many could help cover it a bit, surely it’d be stitched, right?

Just when Qi Li was about to speak, Ah Chen addressed the nearby officers who seemed both complex and incredulous, ”Could you please take me over?”

Where to go naturally meant the morgue, or perhaps some places called the autopsy room?

”Where is this going?” Qi Li questioned.

He also sensed the surroundings felt off.

Jiang Xiang followed suit, scratched his head, and kept in step.

And when he saw Ah Chen lying there lifelessly, he froze.

Jiang Xiang took a glance, then turned and left.

She was gone.

”Cousin, what’s happened?” In the car, Qi Li finally gathered himself, ”How did it...”

Was she not human?

Or was she merely holding her breath, now finally unable to contain it?

Qi Li felt somewhat sad, how could this happen? A perfectly fine girl suddenly lost life.

Jiang Xiang didn’t answer, it was a secret between him and her to guard.

”I don’t know either.” He said.

Another case added to the mysterious files: ”The Returning Dead — Ling Qian”
