Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 632 The Hunt for Crimes Illustrated Guide 2 4

After their thinking was changed, their guilt towards their daughter reached the point where they dared not face her.

So, without saying much to Fang Qingyan, the two of them took out several thousand yuan from their pockets and told her to take care of herself before leaving in a hurry.

If the police weren't still looking for them, the two of them would have bought tickets to go home right now.

Looking at the stack of red RMB banknotes with deep folds on the table, Fang Qingyan felt that even the bland breakfast tasted much better.

She felt once again that it was more efficient to solve the problem using special methods, and she didn't want to suffer the mental torment from such extreme parents and family members.

Xiao Qi: "Host, I've never seen anyone do a mission as comfortably as you."

Fang Qingyan scoffed: "Do you think I have the ability to endure hardship without effort? I'd rather spend that time enjoying the beauty of life."

After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Qi finally managed to say, "You cheated again."

"I cultivated my mental strength step by step, and I also paid a price."

Unable to win the argument with her host, and having never intended to win anyway, Xiao Qi, who just wanted to make her presence known, said: "Okay, I'm going to enjoy life next door too. Call me if you need anything, host."

Fang Qingyan waved her hand, signaling it to hurry up and leave.

She woke up from her afternoon nap and was lying in bed watching TV, lost in thought.

At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside, and Shen Yi came in carrying a bunch of sunflowers in one hand and a bag in the other.

Beside him was a tall man carrying a fruit basket. Fang Qingyan recognized his face; it was Du Cheng.

"I brought everything you asked for, including your phone." Shen Yi placed the flowers on the bedside table and put the bag in her hand next to the bed.

Fang Qingyan took out her phone, a smile appearing on her lips. "Thank you. And who is this?" she asked, looking at Du Cheng.

"Ms. Fang, this is Du Cheng from the Criminal Investigation Team of Beijiang Branch. Are you feeling better?" Du Cheng asked.

"I'm much better now. Thank you, Officer Du, and thank you for coming to see me."

If they were just coming to ask questions, that would be fine, but since they brought fruit and flowers, I should at least be polite.

"Don't be shy." Shen Yi asked Fang Qingyan, "What kind of fruit would you like to eat? I'll wash it for you."

Upon hearing this, Du Cheng glanced at him for some reason, thinking that Shen Yi was actually quite kind.

He originally planned to come directly to see the victim, but unexpectedly he also went to buy flowers and fruit.

Surprisingly, Fang Qingyan didn't think anything was wrong.

She glanced at the fruit in the basket, which included her favorite Akizuki pears.

"I want to eat a pear, but I need to peel it. Can you wash it for me and I'll peel it myself?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately took out a pear to wash, then returned with a knife and began peeling it: "You're the patient, I'll peel it for you."

Seeing this, Fang Qingyan did not refuse, but simply smiled and thanked her.

Du Cheng was a little puzzled. The way the two of them interacted seemed strange, and he felt like an outsider standing in the ward.

It seems that Shen Yi came here alone just yesterday.

Fortunately, someone still remembered him. Fang Qingyan saw that he was still standing and said, "Officer Du, why don't you sit down for a while?"

Du Cheng nodded, sat down on the sofa, and started a conversation: "Ms. Fang, we will catch He Wang as soon as possible and give you an explanation."

"Yes, I trust the police."

At most, He Wang would be charged with attempted murder, intentional homicide, and fleeing the scene, which would not warrant the death penalty.

But since the original owner is really dead, we still need to find some crimes against He Wang, not only to keep him in prison until he dies, but also to make sure he doesn't have an easy time there.

Fang Qingyan ate the pear pieces that Shen Yi had divided for her, pondering her plan.

Shen Yi cut the pear into several pieces and put them in a disposable cup. He washed his hands and then carefully asked, "Have your parents come by?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyan paused in her pear-eating motion, but quickly resumed her normal expression: "They came, but they left after only a few words."

Thinking of the middle-aged couple I met yesterday, they didn't say a word for their daughter the whole time, and didn't seem to care about her much.

Shen Yi looked at her with a hint of comfort: "Just stay in the hospital and everything will be alright once you recover."

What he meant was that we shouldn't be sad about people or things that aren't worth it; a more positive outlook will make life easier.

However, the influence parents have on their children is still hard to let go of.

"Okay, I know, I won't do anything rash." Fang Qingyan nodded with a smile; she understood what he meant.

Shen Yi smiled at her, relieved that she could let it go.

Feeling superfluous once again, Du Cheng coughed lightly to remind Shen Yi, "Shen Yi, we have to go, we still have things to do at the bureau."

After saying that, he looked at Fang Qingyan and said, "We will let you know if there is any news. Remember to come to the bureau when you are discharged from the hospital."

"Okay, Officer Du."

Shen Yi nodded, then took out his phone from his pocket and said to Fang Qingyan, "Let's exchange contact information. You can contact me anytime if you need anything."

"Okay, scan me then."

Fang Qingyan opened her phone and asked him to scan the QR code to add her as a friend.

After exchanging contact information, Shen Yi and Du Cheng left the ward.

As Du Cheng drove, he would glance at the drowsy Shen Yi every now and then, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Even though she was feeling very sleepy, Shen Yi noticed that he kept looking at her: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something you want to say?"

"I..." Du Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still chose to ask, "I want to ask you, when did you become so familiar with that Fang Qingyan? Didn't you just go to the hospital yesterday?"

"We're not very close; we've only met twice." Shen Yi slightly opened his eyes, perking up.

Du Cheng looked at him teasingly: "But you two don't seem like you've only met twice. You're peeling fruit for each other and exchanging personal contact information."

Exchanging contact information after only a second meeting doesn't necessarily mean you're very familiar with each other.

But Fang Qingyan had just gotten the phone, so it was like she was getting familiar with it and then adding the contact information she had wanted to add for a long time.

Shen Yi thought for a moment and said, "I just feel that since she is a girl and something like this has happened to her, and her parents don't care or stay by her side, I should take extra care of her."

"You don't actually have a crush on her, do you?"

"No." Shen Yi chuckled and shook his head, but the image of Fang Qingyan's tears flashed through his mind.

Crystalline tears streamed down her fair cheeks; she looked so fragile, as if she were about to shatter.

His heart suddenly tightened, but the feeling came and went quickly, and he didn't think about it anymore.

Du Cheng had only asked casually, and when he denied it, he didn't say anything more.

On the day Fang Qingyan was discharged from the hospital, she changed into clothes of a different style from the original owner of the body.

A relaxed-fit apricot-colored two-piece set, featuring a sleeveless top paired with matching wide-leg pants.
