It must have been the things he had seen in the basement, Peng thought, that had led him to imagine that he was still alive, that he was still harming the world.
Therefore, he could not reject him again. He could only prompt him to continue.
So the meeting concluded, the gist of the case was that Ning Ruonan was kidnapped, drugged, and brought to the Ferris Wheel's coach in a coma, and the killer even set up a bomb beside her.
As for the specific time points, they could only be obtained by asking the parties involved.
Inside the room, Ning Ruonan opened her eyes.
The reason she dared to do so was because she heard the door being closed, and at the same time confirmed that he would not return for a period of time.
She sat up and looked around in a daze.
He used a mop to mop the floor.
At the same time, he looked at the empty fish tank on the bedside table.
He poured the water out of the fish tank and threw the seaweed into the trash.
Then he put the tank away in the closet.
Finally, she walked over to the sofa and slowly erased the runes on it, little by little, until there were no traces at all.
She went downstairs, skirted several garbage cans, and dumped them in a corner trash can.
After doing all this, she called her master in the locksmith shop and changed the lock.
She was finally able to sleep peacefully. After sleeping for so long, she didn't want to go out again.
The next day, Xiao He could not wait to verify what he had said yesterday.
Just enough to bring Rhonan breakfast.
Therefore, he brought his comrades from the Scar Inspection Department, as well as Jiang Han and Peng Wenyin, together to Ning Ruonan's home. On the way, he got off the car and went to a shop he frequented to buy her Cloud Swallow.
She had just gotten up when she heard the doorbell ring.
Perhaps she had expected this, but she wasn't surprised.
He took the Cloud Swallowing Art from Xiao He, said ”Thank you” and went into the washroom.
Xiao He didn't pay much attention to her reaction, while Jiang Han raised his eyebrows.
It was really strange. Usually, Captain Xiao would come over. Why is there only a ”thank you” today?
As he was thinking, Xiao He brought everyone to the sofa that he had seen. Even Peng Wenyin's eyes widened. He wanted to see just how realistic this rebirth trick was. In fact, in his opinion, even if there was, it could only be an imitation of the crime.
However, just as everyone was waiting to see. Xiao He was the first to collapse.
Kneeling on the floor, he tried to find the symbol he had seen earlier. The symbol he had clearly seen was not wrong.
He searched along the base of the sofa, inch by inch, but there was still no trace of him.
In the end, even Peng Wenyin couldn't bear to watch any longer.
”Xiao He, get up.”
Xiao He didn't dare to do so. He didn't believe it at all, could it be that...
”Get up, I know you're anxious about the investigation.” As he spoke, he went to help him up.
Then, he suddenly stood up and pushed away Peng Wenyin's arm.
He rushed to the bathroom.
”Ruonan, did you wipe the sofa yesterday?”
Ning Ruonan answered vaguely while brushing her teeth.
”No. ”I just dragged the floor.”
After that sentence, Xiao He completely broke down. Could it be that he had truly seen wrongly? Was it an illusion?
In the next second, he realized:
”You dragged the floor too?”
