Ch87 – Extremely Quick Train 20: Each Sticks to Their Own Version

Jing Weiguang thought the two train attendants had come to him to solve a medical problem. The result was that they said he was looking for his junior female student. He looked at Yan Ruru with a puzzled expression. “Do you know each other?”

Yan Ruru’s face was confused. “I don’t know.”

Xiao Lou smiled kindly at her. “Miss Yan, come with us. There are some things to ask you.

Yan Ruru frowned. “I don’t know you. What do you want?”

This girl was very wary. Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice and said, “The conductor asked us to check the pa.s.senger information. Please cooperate.”

Yan Ruru let out an ‘oh’ and stood up to follow them. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang took her back to the train attendant’s office. They turned on the phone and showed her the photos of Zhao Quan’s death.

Yan Ruru saw these b.l.o.o.d.y photos and her face became as pale as paper, but she didn’t scream. Nor did she show a frightened expression like Yue Xiaoquan and Yu Lin. Instead, her body trembled, she bowed her head and vigorously clenched her fists.

Xiao Lou thought she was going to cry and wanted to comfort her. As a result, he hadn’t spoken yet when Yan Ruru suddenly laughed. “Haha haha! Retribution! Zhao Quan died well, he died beautifully!”

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang, “……”

Yan Ruru’s eyes were red as she spoke through gritted teeth. “Such a sc.u.m should’ve died a long time ago! He died so badly, he must’ve been scared and miserable before he died, right? Hahahaha, he deserves it!”

The girl looked at the photo of Zhao Quan’s death and actually couldn’t stop laughing. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou faced each other. After half a minute, she stopped laughing and spoke coldly, “Why are you looking for me? I didn’t kill him.”

Yu Hanjiang asked, “Are you a doctor? You graduated from university with Jing Weiguang?”

Yan Ruru’s voice was cold. “Yes, Brother Jing was several years ahead of me. I didn’t see him in school and then I went to a hospital interns.h.i.+p and Brother Jing was my teacher.”

Xiao Lou asked, “So you are graduating now?”

Yan Ruru replied, “I’m a graduate student and I won’t graduate until next year.”

Then it seemed she was two years older than Zhao Quan.

Yu Hanjiang spoke. “Your purpose in taking this train is the same as the other six girls, to clean up this sc.u.m?”

Yan Ruru had no expression. “Six girls? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Xiao Lou told her, “I have here the information for the seven of you. has saved your photos and the purpose of this group travel has been revealed. I hope Miss Yan doesn’t hide it and that you will cooperate with our investigation.”

Yan Ruru’s face changed. “What photo?”

Xiao Lou opened the laptop and showed her. Once she saw their photos appear on the USB disk, she couldn’t help clenching her fists angrily. “Zhao Quan, this madman. Calling me Imperial Concubine Ru? Oh, he really deserves it!”

Yu Hanjiang demanded, “Tell me more about your knowledge of Zhao Quan.”

Yan Ruru was silent for a moment before bowing her head. “He was my apprentice I picked up in the game. I often took him to clear instances and he always called me Master obediently. Later, for the couple activities in the game, he said he would marry me in the game for the rewards. Since the rewards were very rich, I had no objections. I didn’t mind if the other person was a man or a dog.”

Yan Ruru then continued, “One time, in order to facilitate doing the task in the game, I opened a video with him. He probably thought I looked really good and started chasing me. He was a few years younger than me and I was initially reluctant. However, his sweet mouth combined with his handsome appearance on a daily basis meant I developed some feelings over time and decided to be with him.”

Xiao Lou didn’t expect that Yan Ruru and Zhao Quan were actually master and apprentice in the game. Taking the game’s beautiful ‘master’ must be very satisfying for Zhao Quan?

Yu Hanjiang then asked, “How did you find out he was cheating?”

Yan Ruru said, “Once he and I dated, I accidentally saw a dating software on his phone’s desktop. I checked online and found it was a dating software. I suspected he had a problem and downloaded the software. Then I added him as a friend using a smurf account. I took the initiative to talk to him and talked to him for a week before he agreed to meet at the hotel. Then I knew that Zhao Quan was a sc.u.m man with a very chaotic private life.”

Yan Ruru’s face had a cold smile. “I had decided to meet at the hotel to confront him and break up with him. As a result, Yu Lin, Liu Xiaoyan, Song Xiaoyu and Si Yi… suddenly, a group of girls found me and said they were also Zhao Quan’s girlfriend. It wasn’t only the dating software, this man also stepped on N boats. My jaw almost dropped. This man was simply talented!”

Yan Ruru’s eyes were very contemptuous. She apparently felt that Zhao Quan, this sc.u.m man was very incredible.

She said, “He used this IQ to do something bad and to deceive women. He is a real good for nothing.”

Xiao Lou agreed in his heart as he asked, “Do you hate Zhao Quan?”

Yan Ruru shook her head. “It isn’t worthy of hate. I just think it is ridiculous. To be able to fool so many girls, Zhao Quan must be talented at coaxing women.”

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment. “During the party when the seven of you gathered, was there a proposal to scare Zhao Quan with a knife, cutting him dozens of times without killing him so you don’t have to take responsibility?”

Yan Ruru was a bit surprised but she soon realized that someone had confessed. She nodded and said, “It was proposed by Yue Xiaoquan and I thought it was very interesting and scientific. Everyone agreed to her suggestion and I offered to prepare the knife. I work in a hospital and can get a sharp scalpel. The cuts are very painful but aren’t deep.”

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang glanced at each other before the latter wondered, “Where is the knife you prepared?”

Yan Ruru answered, “In my bag.”

Yu Hanjiang immediately stood up. “Come with us to show us.”

Yan Ruru returned to her seat and picked up her backpack from the luggage rack. She went out on this trip with only a single bag that can be easily held with one hand. She opened the zipper of the bag and took out a box at the bottom. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou opened it back in the office. It was a neat box filled with a row of scalpels, seven in total.

Xiao Lou mused thoughtfully, “It seems that Yan Ruru prepared seven knives. Her intention should be for the seven people to surround Zhao Quan and slowly cut him, letting Zhao Quan experience terrible physical and psychological torture.”

“Professor Xiao, do you feel that the knife wounds on the deceased’s body matches the incision of a scalpel?”

Xiao Lou shook his head. “The scalpel is extremely sharp and the incision will be very fine. The deceased showed traces of something on the outside and the blade is much wider than a scalpel. The murder weapon should be the commonly used portable fruit knife.”

Yan Ruru had no need to bring a bunch of scalpels and then prepare a fruit knife. She was a doctor and would surely be able to balance a fruit knife. In addition, her feelings with Zhao Quan didn’t seem deep. She only thought that Zhao Quan was ridiculous and deserved to die. She didn’t have a very strong urge to kill. It appeared that she could be excluded as a suspect.

Xiao Lou stated, “Ask Cheng Mu.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded and called Cheng Mu to come over. Once Yan Ruru returned to her seat, she had told Cheng Mu about Zhao Quan’s death. Therefore, Cheng Mu wasn’t too surprised when she came over and saw his death photos.

She directly stated, “Ruru told me that Zhao Quan is dead. That sc.u.m really deserves to die but I didn’t kill him. I didn’t have any feelings with him. I was just friends with benefits.”

Yu Hanjiang calmly looked at her. “Please tell clearly how you and Zhao Quan got together and how you got with the other six girls to retaliate against Zhao Quan.”

Cheng Mu’s face was white and her voice softly trembled. “Zhao Quan and I knew each other through a chat software. It is known as the friends with benefits software. Every week, Zhao Quan would come to my house to find me when he was free. The two of us just had s.e.x and had no feelings. Later, he said he wanted a fixed relations.h.i.+p with me. He was handsome and good in bed. I had nothing to lose by having him as a fixed bed partner so I agreed.”

She raised her hand and swore, “I actually didn’t mind him cheating. I was just sleeping with him. I followed this time because I thought Yue Xiaoquan’s proposal was very interesting. Seven people surrounding a sc.u.m and slowly cutting him with a knife is too exciting. I was just along for the ride.”

Xiao Lou didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. Zhao Quan’s appet.i.te was really wonderful. What type of girls did he have as girlfriends? Cheng Mu might be a girl who was less serious about feelings so she was indifferent to Zhao Quan cheating. if they really were just friends with benefits, she wouldn’t be disappointed with Zhao Quan and had no motive to kill him.

Yu Hanjiang didn’t say much. “You can go back. Can I trouble you to call Song Xiaoyu over?”

Song Xiaoyu was like a small white rabbit who had wandered into a wolf’s den. She saw Zhao Quan’s death photos and started to cry. Her tears didn’t stop and she couldn’t answer questions properly. Xiao Lou patiently comforted her, “Don’t cry, it isn’t worth crying over such a person.”

She cried for a moment before choking out, “I’m not feeling sad for him, I, I am dizzy at the sight of blood.”

Xiao Lou, “…”

Song Xiaoyu trembled. “This photo is too scary. There is a lot of blood.”
