After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 124 - 122: Wanting Brother to Care for Me Like This

Qin Yun thought for a moment and said, "Then the whole story is very clear, but I don’t know the order in which the nanny, the child, and the scumbag died. There are several possibilities. The female owner came back that day, ready to go upstairs to see the child, only to run into the sick child going downstairs. The child, in a delirious state, blurted out the truth and then fell to his death right before her eyes. After discovering his diary, she killed the nanny, then invited the scumbag to the house and killed him, eventually driving herself insane."

"There’s another possibility: the nanny invited the scumbag over, also for revenge, but the female owner caught them and found out the nanny’s true identity. The child, hearing the argument downstairs, dragged his sick body out to see what was happening, and in his weakened state, fell in front of the female owner. After knowing everything, the female owner killed the nanny and the scumbag and went mad herself."

"However, I feel like this latter possibility is more likely." Qin Yun pondered out loud.

"Since we’re not sure, let’s check the master bedroom again." Pei Yan stood up directly.

The two of them returned to the master bedroom and re-examined what they had already searched, worried there might have been something they missed previously.

Recalling how she found several clues under the nanny’s bed, Qin Yun wondered if there might be something under this bed as well, but the bed in the master bedroom was quite low, just a few centimeters off the ground.

Qin Yun lay on the floor, shining her phone flashlight underneath, and surprisingly noticed something.

She pressed against the edge, straining to reach it, but it was too far out, and she couldn’t grab it.

Immediately, she called out to Pei Yan beside her, "Pei Yan, there’s a phone under here, but I can’t reach it."

"Get up first, the ground is cold," Pei Yan said, frowning when he turned and saw her lying flat on the floor.

[Damn, Qin Yun is really something! Does she still remember she’s on a show? A female celebrity just lying on the floor looking for something, doesn’t she care about her image at all?]

[Even an ordinary person wouldn’t usually lie flat on the ground to search for something like this. Moreover, looking for something uncertain to even be there—Qin Yun really doesn’t treat us as outsiders.]

[Sigh, if only they weren’t so reserved while bathing too... Last time, just hearing Leqi talk about it, I’ve been craving for so long.]

[To the person above... that’s not just a matter of being reserved; that’s outright perversion!!]

[Honestly, I quite like Qin Yun’s character. She’s much better than those pretentious female stars who act as if they’re so noble—so hypocritical and annoying.]

[Doesn’t brother’s voice sound a bit unhappy? Is it because of Qin Yun?]

[It feels like the tone is a bit off. Is he worried about Qin Yun catching a cold? So does brother really like Qin Yun? Ahhh... Then we should treat Qin Yun better, so she’ll treat brother better. Sigh... too bad it’s so dark, or I’d love to see brother’s expression. Never saw him worry about anyone before.]

[I also wish brother cared for me like this, sob sob sob.]

"Oh." Qin Yun got up from the ground, brushing off the dust from herself.

Then, Pei Yan found a slender iron rod used for hanging clothes, reached it in, and quickly coaxed the item inside out.

Pei Yan picked it up, looked at it, and said, "This should be the female owner’s phone."

The last message was sent to her assistant.

Pei Yan clicked on a voice message, turned up the volume to the maximum, "Call the police now, I’ve killed, but I don’t regret it. They all deserve to die! If it weren’t for them, my precious would still be alive and well! I only hate that I didn’t kill her with my own hands! Couldn’t make her live worse than death!!"

"Who is this ’he/she’? So there’s one person she didn’t kill? Or rather, someone she killed, but not entirely by herself?" Qin Yun frowned and asked.

"Probably the nanny. The place with bloodstain has two spots, one looks like it was hit, and another one has marks on the wall showing someone grabbed her hair and slammed her head against it." Pei Yan said this while demonstrating the actions.

Qin Yun pondered, "So it turns out the nanny called the scumbag, intending to kill him, but ended up being severely injured after he knocked her down, finally killed by the female owner. So the stab wounds on the scumbag’s waist and abdomen were inflicted by the nanny? I thought they felt different."

"It should have been the female owner who set it up, just didn’t expect the nanny to beat her to it." Pei Yan turned to the message the female owner sent to the scumbag and handed it over for Qin Yun to see.

Afterwards, Pei Yan found a note from the phone’s memo, recording the female owner’s last words—how she fell in love with the scumbag, only to be betrayed, and eventually led to her broken death. Also, how she sewed the child’s ashes into a doll, asking her assistant to put the doll in the same coffin with her after she died, hoping in the next life, they could still be mother and child.

"So, we thought she was always calling the child’s name looking for her child, but she was actually looking for that doll? That child loved that doll the most because it was personally bought by the female owner, and she even sewed the boy’s ashes into the doll’s body. This way, even if the female owner were caught, the doll could be brought in too? Mother and child never part?" Qin Yun realized suddenly.

[Eww... That’s kind of creepy.]

[Damn, I don’t even dare to look directly at that doll now, constantly feeling like it’s watching me...]

[The doll is still talking, paired with this scene, jeez, so intense!!]

[Don’t scare yourself, it’s just an ordinary doll.]

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in the room, "Please place the doll at the designated location on the third floor and respond."

[Production team, you owe me a cup! You scared me so much I dropped it!!]

[I seriously suspect the production team’s just trying to stir the pot!!]

[Of all times, not earlier, not later, but just when we’re scared out of our minds, someone suddenly speaks, scared me to death.]

[I felt like my heart stopped for a second just now!!]

[Honestly, I felt that kind of sudden heart drop described in novels, heart trembling, then beating loudly, thump thump thump... It’s more thrilling than watching horror movies alone in a room at midnight.]

[Hahaha, hilarious, brother figured out the entire plot, if the production team doesn’t notify now to complete the task, when would they notify? After they left?]

[Damn, made me jump!! I was already on edge because of the doll, and then the production team suddenly popped up. If I fainted from fright, production team, wouldn’t this be a workplace injury?]

[Hilarious, you’re not even staff, not injured on duty, still calling it a workplace injury!! Aren’t those NPCs the ones genuinely getting injured on duty?]
