Ji Xun observed Cheng Zheng. The effect of the opening bombshell wasn't great. Cheng Zheng, sitting opposite him, did show a moment of astonishment on his face, but it was just astonishment, not panic. Then he smiled apologetically, "I don't know what you're talking about. This accusation is too absurd. Why would I kill Tang Jinglong?" "Because Tang Jinglong killed Xi Lei." "Is that the police's conclusion?" Cheng Zheng said. "Has the killer who murdered Lei Lei been found?" "No," Ji Xun said…-

The sky was grim, the wind soughed. Gao Fang and Gao Yuan watched Ji Xun's back disappear up the mountain path. Gao Fang suddenly said, "How many minutes does it take for an idol to be shattered?" Gao Yuan looked down at his phone. "Ten minutes." The twins looked at each other, sharing a moment of commiseration. However, since they had promised, there was nothing to be done. They simply played on their phones while waiting for Ji Xun to come down. In the van, Zeng Peng was silent, leaning…

In that short time, Ji Xun's mind raced. He made a move that seemed reckless but was perhaps the most necessary one at the moment. "Hey." He stood up without a trace of fear, waved to the group, and even stepped aside to give them a clear view of the soil he had disturbed and the remains within. "What a coincidence. It seems I've discovered a little secret of yours." He held up his phone. "And I accidentally took pictures and videos, preserving the evidence. So, it's useless even if you dispose of…

The call ended abruptly after a long wait, replaced by an emotionless electronic female voice from the receiver: "Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off. Sorry—" Huo Ranyin's fingers tightened. With a grim face, he hung up. He didn't stop. He dialed again, contacting the main bureau directly. After a brief exchange, he got in touch with Gao Fang and Gao Yuan, who had gone up the mountain earlier. "Current situation." "..." "Report your location." "..." Zeng Peng, handcuffed,…

"Ji Xun..." The Huo Ranyin who spoke these two words was no longer an iceberg; a volcano was about to erupt. "It hurts," Ji Xun grunted. The erupting volcano was instantly extinguished. Huo Ranyin said calmly, "I wasn't using any force when I held your chin." "My body hurts," Ji Xun said. "Where?" Huo Ranyin asked. Huo Ranyin's hand moved away from Ji Xun's face. Ji Xun felt the hand pat him down all over, very carefully, obviously checking for any fractures. Ji Xun knew his own body.…

"I... we..." Xi Zhigao stammered for a good while, then suddenly said, "We did chase you, but that's because you were digging up graves and robbing them. Whose child's grave gets dug up without them wanting to beat you to death? Besides, we didn't hit you. We just chased you. You weren't looking where you were going and fell into a trap, and now you're blaming us for not saving a grave robber?" "That's right!" "Exactly! When we saw our children's bodies being dug up, our hearts were breaking. He's…

Ji Xun's figure disappeared from the doorway. Huo Ranyin's thoughts were a bit chaotic. He lowered his head in contemplation but saw something on the floor. A keychain with a metal girl's head avatar. It was Ji Xun's. He had seen it on him once before—the time he went to Ji Xun's house. Huo Ranyin bent down to pick up the keychain and chased after him to return it. But not long after he left the room, he heard voices from the backyard—two of them, Ji Xun and Yuan Yue. "Here, your…

Looking at dismemberment photos before bed is really not conducive to sleep. In his dream, Ji Xun heard a "knock—knock—knock—" sound coming from within his own mind. The sound was like someone snapping their fingers against his skull, causing vibrations and echoes in his brain, leading to a cranial hemorrhage and death in his dream. What a horror movie. Ji Xun's thoughts drifted aimlessly. He lay motionless, feeling the numbness of sleep paralysis in a half-awake state, silently counting.…

I... Caught in the room, Ji Xun was momentarily speechless. Just ten minutes ago, he thought his luck was good, that everything was going so smoothly. A person can't get too complacent, right? Now, trouble has come. His gaze swept quickly around the room. There was no suspended ceiling. The bathroom and the master bedroom were connected, separated only by a transparent glass wall, offering a clear view; even without the transparent glass, anyone pushing the door open would see everything. Not a…

"Anything else?" Huo Ranyin asked after a moment of thought. "Nothing," Ji Xun said. "Really?" Huo Ranyin was skeptical. "Really, not a single drop left," Ji Xun nearly rolled his eyes. Huo Ranyin's expression turned dangerous. Ji Xun put on a 'dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water' facade—anyway, Tan Mingjiu was right there. At worst, he could hide behind Tan Mingjiu. He looked at Tan Mingjiu, assessing how to use his not-so-imposing frame as a shield. Huo Ranyin followed his…
