“Miss Qiao, I’m telling you the truth! Surely, I had no intent to kill your grandmother, she’s a doctor, she helped me, how could I possibly kill her? I don’t know what came over me, my emotions got the better of me, I couldn’t control them, you have to believe me!”
“You’re not mentally ill, your supposed inability to control your emotions, it’s all just to evade legal punishment.”
“Well, Miss Qiao, you might think I’m perfectly normal, but that’s only because I’ve taken my medications. When I have episodes, I don’t recognise anyone, even the slightest provocation can trigger it. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the doctor!”
Qiao Yin stared at him steadily, then, she chuckled.
She turned to Officer Li and said, “Officer, it seems like he truly didn’t mean it. How about this, I’ll issue him a letter of forgiveness, you guys should release him sooner!”
Everyone was stunned, their gaze fixed on Qiao Yin.
Did she even know what she was saying?
Even Long Wu, the accused, was taken aback. He couldn’t quite fathom her decision.
She forgave him just like that?
He hadn’t even begun to mount his defence!
His lawyer hadn’t even had the chance to speak, how did she decide to forgive him so suddenly?
However, he felt a shiver seeing her smile.
Officer Li couldn’t help but confirm, “Miss Qiao, are you sure about issuing this letter of forgiveness? If you do, combined with his mental evaluation, we could only detain him for a maximum of seven days.”
Qiao Yin nodded: “That’s fine, seven days is enough.”
With that, she turned and walked out, leaving everyone in the room puzzled.
Lu Lingche followed her out.
Seeing Qiao Yin about to get in her car and drive off, he grabbed her wrist: “Qiao Yin.”
Qiao Yin turned around: “Let go.”
“Why did you suddenly forgive Long Wu?”
“None of your business.”
Lu Lingche frowned, “Don’t act rashly.”
Qiao Yin was taken aback, did he know her plan?
That’s odd, it seemed he understood her better and better.
Wasn’t he hugging Lan Yuyi last night?
Why bother meddling in her affairs today?
She scoffed, shrugged off his hand, got into her car and drove off from the police station.
Back home, she carried on chatting with everyone else as if nothing had happened, she didn’t mention anything about the police station.
At noon, she performed acupuncture on her grandmother once again, making her wake up for a while.
She could now clearly recognise everyone around her.
Her condition was improving, everyone was thrilled.
Qiao Yin tentatively hugged her grandmother, holding her until she fell back asleep.
Seven days later.
It was another rainy night.
The rain trickled down, lightning tore through the black sky, followed by the roaring thunderclap.
Wind swept tree shadows around, malnourished leaves starting to wither prematurely.
Qiao Yin, spotting an umbrella, pushed open a door of a small villa and went inside as if she owned the place.
A cobblestone path stretched through the villa’s small garden.
Her high heels clicked on the cobblestones with a “clack clack” sound, it was like a ghostly woman out of a horror story, coming to claim a life.
Good atmosphere.
Qiao Yin thought.
She hadn’t watched those horror movies for nothing, they finally came in handy.
At the end of the cobblestone path, there lay a fairly thin man.
Upon hearing the sound, he struggled to turn his head.
Then, he saw a woman dressed in white, when she got closer, his eyes widened in surprise: “Qiao Yin?!”
Qiao Yin nodded: “Long Wu, we’ve only met briefly once and you could still remember me after seven days, seems like you have a good memory. But, people with an excellent memory tend to fear pain more, because their pain tends to be far deeper than the average person’s.”
Long Wu, his face full of caution asked, “What do you mean by that? How did you find my home?”
