Chapter 192: Murderous Look

Of course, Bai Muchuan would not force her to go to the hospital to see a dead body.

It was just that she was always very keen to follow him to crime scenes all along. Her sudden change of attitude baffled him.

“Nothing happened to you, right?” He couldn’t help asking.

“Hm? Of course I’m alright.” Xiang Wan smiled. She knew that he was busy and did not want to affect him. “It’s just that I’m having so much ideas right now when I think of continuing my story. I’m writing my update for today. Let’s talk when you come back.”

“Alright then!” Bai Muchuan was indeed busy. Before they ended the conversation, he told her to take care of herself.

Xiang Wan was alone in her bedroom and looked out of the window into the dark sky quietly. The next moment, she suddenly got up and dashed to the windows and pulled the curtains…

Her behavior should be a kind of psychological disorder. And she knew that.

The fear that lingered in her when she was alone.

When she gazed at the dark shadows of the trees, she felt as though there was a pair of eyes on them.

If this were to go on, she would seriously doubt if she was suffering from schizophrenia.

It’s all that crazy, lunatic ID’s fault!

Why did this person have to say all these peculiar stuff? Now, she was so affected by those words that she had become paranoid.

But earlier on when she was writing her update, she did a search on the book reviews and comments page but that mysterious ID did not leave anything new.

Hence, it was difficult for her to pin the deaths of Zhou Dequan and his wife on that mysterious ID. She did not dare to think about that comment where “if she did not update for a day, someone will be killed every day until she published a new chapter”—if that comment was really a coincidence?

No matter what, the best choice in front of her was to update her story daily.

It was because of Zhou Dequan’s death that she decided to continue writing her novel.

If it was because of the mysterious ID that caused the deaths—if she updated her story, she should not be faced with similar incidents again? She hoped.

Hence, Xiang Wan really put in a lot of effort on the first chapter after her discontinuation, so much so that she felt especially tired as well.

There was a reason why there was a saying “practice makes perfect”. For the past few days that she did not write her story, she needed a lot of time to get back the momentum and feeling.

At the opening of her chapter, she wrote: If the soul is left in the darkness, then sins will be committed. Then, she added her own question: “So, is your heart completely dark?”

She used the word “your” as well as the question mark.

She did not know who she had directed this question to. She could not even confirm if such a person existed…

She continued the story of the female college student who died at the Avenue of Stars to the death of the key suspect till the end of the chapter.

Finally, she named the title of the chapter as “Death of Sin”. After she uploaded the chapter, she was finally relieved.

She was as if paralyzed as she leaned against her chair and looked up at the ceiling.

People who tend to think too much had a higher tendency to lead a more tiring life. Xiang Wan was exactly like that.

During the time when Bai Muchuan was not at home, she had thought of many things: real incidents, wild speculations and some of her own deductions. Eventually, she assembled all of these thoughts into a huge, professional chain of evil.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she was. When it was around 2:00 a.m., she got up from her bed and recorded down all these thoughts.

A good memory is inferior to a poor quality pen. Xiang Wan always had the habit of taking down notes or jotting down ideas and experiences.

In doing so, she spent more than an hour to finish writing down her thoughts.

Bai Muchuan still had not come back yet?

After a moment of silence, Xiang Wan wore her slippers and walked out of her bedroom quietly.

The living room was empty. Bai Muchuan’s bedroom was empty as well.

He must have been too caught up with work that he had no time to sleep or he was sleeping inside the police car to make do for the night?

Sleeping inside the police car was also considered a common occurrence amongst the detectives.

The detectives had their way of spying and following the suspects. Sometimes, when they wanted to preserve their energy, they would also take turns to take naps. Even though Bai Muchuan was the captain, he never used his authority but were always at the front fearlessly, leading his subordinates.

Therefore, everyone’s opinion of him when he first arrived in Hongjiang District changed from the “opinionated” second generation wealthy kid with some influential background to a selfless and noble captain.

The next day, Xiang Wan got up early to prepare breakfast.

She saw that the chapter she uploaded during the wee hours had been published and checked out her reviews and comments page with an uneasy heart.

The unexpected appearance of a new chapter was as though dropping a bomb into the water and the fish inside appeared at the surface of the water—many readers appeared and left comments.

New readers, old readers, and not-so-new readers showed up at the reviews and comments page. They were immersed in the joy of seeing the novel alive again and had forgotten about their anger when Xiang Wan put up the discontinuation notice. All of them were welcoming her back to the big family of online literature.

The reviews and comments page was filled with pleasant comments and well wishes.

Xiang Wan was comforted by the friendly atmosphere.

In this world, the majority of people are kind. The truly caustic and rude ones belonged to the minority.

With this in mind, Xiang Wan specially made an announcement.

First of all, she apologized sincerely for the discontinuation. She also said that if there were no unforeseen circumstances, she would definitely update steadily.

She had thought that by saying that, it could be considered a guarantee. But the words “unforeseen circumstances” invoked the readers’ curiosity and doubts.

After the announcement was published in less than 10 minutes, more than 10 comments appeared and were all asking her what did she mean by “unforeseen circumstances”…

Xiang Wan was amused by the enthusiasm her readers displayed.

She replied: “If I’m dead, or someone died because of me.”

After she sent the reply, she looked at the time, quickly turned off her laptop, and put it inside her laptop bag.

When Fang Yuanyuan learned that Xiang Wan had published her latest chapter, she even made breakfast. She seemed so energetic and vivacious as if she had strike lottery.

“Little Wanwan, keep up with your good work! Let’s do this going ahead—I’ll make dinner and you make breakfast.”

“…” Xiang Wan rolled her eyes. “Are you dreaming?”

Everyone knew that waking up early in the morning can be a chore…

“Well, if we don’t feel like cooking, we can always order takeouts.”

“Fine!” Xiang Wan pursed her lips and then swept a glance at her. “Send me to my office since you’re on the way.”

What! Fang Yuanyuan looked up with a startled expression. “Sis… the problem is, it’s not on the way at all!”

“Not my problem. You’ve eaten my food and you have to listen to me.”

“…”

She had been warned by Bai Muchuan not to be alone if she had to go outside. Moreover, because of Ma Suying’s death last night, she was a little worried and afraid. So she took a little advantage of Fang Yuanyuan—to drive her to work.

“We’ve arrived.” Fang Yuanyuan stopped her Volkswagen Polo by the roadside, in front of the police building. “Hurry up, say thank you and you can scram!”

“… You should hurry and go now. You’re going to be late.”

Xiang Wan laughed as she alighted the car and waved goodbye at Yuanyuan. Yet surprisingly, there was no response from her.

She stayed still as if frozen at her seat and was looking at her…

Hmm, nope. She was looking at something behind Xiang Wan?

Xiang Wan shuddered at this sight. All of her hair stood on end.

What was there behind her? What’s with the expression on Fang Yuanyuan’s face?

Xiang Wan turned around out of reflex—

She saw Huang He walking out of the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Unit. There was also a woman beside him—it was Tian Danyue.

Goodness! Is this an unlucky day? Such coincidence…

If it was only Huang He, that might have been much better. But she actually saw him together with Tian Danyue and that spelled trouble.

Xiang Wan felt a little regretful and turned back to Fang Yuanyuan. “Aren’t you rushing for work? You better go now!”

Fang Yuanyuan did not respond to Xiang Wan. She did not look at her, either. Her eyes were as though smeared with poison as she stared at Huang He.

This was really an awkward situation!

Silly girl, don’t do anything foolish! Xiang Wan prayed in her heart.

The moment she thought of that, Fang Yuanyuan got down from her car with an unfriendly look and walked over to Huang He directly, with a murderous aura…
