Chapter 0007 – There’s Someone Else Who Harmed Me? (2 / 2)

“Are you at home? Why are the lights off in your house? Did someone knock on the door?”

How did Lin Qing find her home address, before she had time to think about it, she heard heavy footsteps coming from the stairwell.

Thud, thud. The footsteps gradually approached until they stopped at the door.

Nervous enough to almost stop thinking, Jiang Xia stumbled and tossed his way to the door, making sure the insurance was all in place before sighing in relief.

“Dang!”

The violent knocking on the door woke Jiang Xia up again, and Lin Qing’s voice came from outside the door.

“Open the door! Open the door now! I’m coming for you!”

What nerve, Jiang Xia guarded the door for a while, until he was scolded by the next door neighbor, no longer tossed, only to dispel the idea of calling the police.

Hearing no more movement outside the door, she intended to go back to a peaceful sleep when she received another picture message.

The moment he opened it, Jiang Xia was so scared that he directly threw his cell phone to the ground.

The photo was taken by Lin Qing from the cat’s eye, and in the picture Jiang Xia was standing in the doorway, while the mirror behind her reflected a broad, blurred figure hidden behind the kitchen door.

“There’s a pair of shoes off at the door, you should have someone else in the house, I’ve called the police, run outside as soon as you get this message.”

“Remember, don’t look back.

No way. How could anyone get in if the door was locked all the time? Unless…

The only time the door had been opened was when Jiang Xia checked the electric switch after the power outage, which meant that the guy had been secretly staring at her while she was watching the drama.

Jiang Xia was at a loss for words as he grasped the door, fumbling in a panic for half a day before feeling the switch and twisting it for a moment.

It was too late to react as a gasp came down her neck and those wide, rough claws reached out from behind her back.

“Why…why did you kill me…”

The same rope, the same way, Jiang Xia had no time to struggle and lost consciousness in despair.

Sitting across from Wang Xu again, Jiang Xia added a lot of doubts.

She had originally simply viewed Lin Qing as a murderer, but his series of crazy moves seemed to be saving her.

“The killer is someone else, at least they’re not in the same gang.”

In addition, through the exchange with Wang Xu, Jiang Xia also realizes that this hidden murderer acted very meticulously, and that she died alone in the middle of nowhere at the Hwa De factory, and the highway toll booths at that time period only recorded Lin Qing’s sports car. The murderer also waited inside the house until Lin Qing came knocking on the door, so even if Lin Qing smashed open the door, it would not explain why Jiang Xia was strangled to death in the doorway.

Not only did he hide his whereabouts perfectly every time, he was also probably able to transfer the charges onto Lin Qing’s head.

What Jiang Xia didn’t understand was why exactly she was being pursued by someone else.

“It can’t be because of my original identity, otherwise I would have died a long time ago and wouldn’t have lived to enter the reincarnation this day.”

There were only two possibilities, either it was because her contact with Lin Qing had caused some people to be disgruntled, or…

There was a mirror next to the table in the interrogation room, and by the dim light, Jiang Xia distinguished his tired face.

[Either Tang Ei, who looks like himself, and some unknown secrets]

“Is there anything else you want to ask?” Wang Xu interrupted Jiang Xia’s thoughts and put the hourglass on the table.

“There’s no rush, I’ll give you another thirty minutes to think about it.”

No, Jiang Xia realized that the matter of his murder was wrong from the start, Lin Qing’s various actions were too coincidental, and the murderer’s hand was too decisive.

Before the strangulation, before the power outage, what was the origin of the incident?

Jiang Xia suddenly realized the most crucial element of this bureau; if the murderer wanted to frame Lin Qing, he had to make sure that Lin Qing could get to her door and slam it with precision.

How did he know?

Once again back in front of the Yakitori store, Jiang Xia’s goal was much clearer, and before Lin Qing could say anything, she took the initiative to suggest that she wanted to go for a ride.

This time, Jiang Xia played the bright card directly, reading the diary shortly after the car started, and using it as a threat to ask Lin Qing about something related to Tang Ei.

“Is your romance with Tang Ei unseemly? As the son of the chairman of the board, being too close to a married woman will inevitably be opposed by the family, right?”

This was Jiang Xia’s first guess in order to corroborate her.

However, Lin Qing’s reply was dry.

“No, my dad and my mom and they all know about it, they even had dinner together.” Lin Qing said as she pulled out her phone and found a group photo of the four of them dining together.

“They didn’t intend for me to go into business, and that aspect of marriage was never binding.”

“It’s… well, what about her relationships? Like, does she usually have problems with other people or anything like that.”

Lin Qing frowned and thought for a long time.

“I’ve met quite a few of her coworkers, they all call her Sister Tang Ei, and that’s why I’ve gradually called her that, and I have the impression that she’s never quarreled with her coworkers, but it’s her family…”

“What’s going on at home?”

Lin Qing shrugged helplessly.

“That adoptive father of hers, although I’ve never met him, I did hear her talking to him on the phone when we were both dating, and Sister Tang Ei has complained more than once about how controlling that dad of hers is, and how she has to be scrutinized by her adoptive father every time she leaves the house.”

Jiang Xia thought in his heart that is not nonsense, people are married women, and you out belong to the fishy, people as the old man is not angry only strange.

“But wouldn’t you say it’s strange that although he cursed on his lips, he never told her husband about us, and his material support hasn’t shrunk at all, and even once specifically vacated his villa for us to go on a date and have a candlelight dinner. So yeah, don’t mention how shocked I was when I realized that Sister Tang Ei actually had a family a long time ago.”

From the results of both conjectures being dashed, Jiang Xia came to the conclusion.

Rich people play with real flowers.

“So really no one will hold it against her?”

“Of course, unless her husband is still alive, who would settle scores with her.

But later, upon investigation, it was learned that there were two other bodies in the car in which Sister Tang Ei was, an old man and a young woman – no doubt they were traveling together as a family that day, and that her husband had long since been reduced to ashes.”

Since this was the case, Jiang Xia only had to suspect that it was his contact with Lin Qing that caused the others to be displeased.

Speaking, the car is going down the highway again, Jiang Xia thought for a moment, suddenly had a plan.

“So, can you give me a ride home?”

“No problem, but in such a hurry? I’d actually quite like to talk to you for a while longer.”

“No no no, I’m a bit unwell, anyway, I’ve already saved the contact information, it’s not too late for another day.” Jiang Xia casually found a reason to excuse himself.

Lin Qing parked the car steadily at the entrance of the neighborhood, and the luxury sports car attracted a lot of spectators.

If it had been in the past, Jiang Xia’s vanity would have definitely driven her to show off a little bit in a fox-like manner, but right now, her entire attention was focused on Lin Qing, who had skillfully found the location of the cell.

“I mean, how did you know this was my house?”
