Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 764 - 515: Extra Pampering to the End (3)

"You called me? What’s up?" Gan Zi stood below Song Ziyu’s apartment building.

"I was thinking, since you’re around here anyway, just keep an eye on the progress of the case. You know, such a horrifying major case happening in a small village is very shocking." Zhuo Yufeng spoke, "You are very good at this, don’t waste your talent."

"I’ll do my best!" After hanging up, Gan Zi walked toward the town government office building where Song Ziyu lived.

At that moment, Su Tianqing was confronting Song Ziyu at the entrance.

Song Ziyu, despite her fear, wouldn’t let Su Tianqing enter; how could she let a man who had overpowered her twice into her living space?

Su Tianqing also felt he was being despicable. He had personally experienced her surrendering to a "criminal," but still couldn’t let go!

He shouldn’t be called Su Tianqing; more appropriately, call him Su Cheap!

"I won’t let you in!" Song Ziyu said coldly with a pretty face, "Su Tianqing, it’s over between us! Also, let me tell you, after I finished with you, I became fond of Teacher Gan; I hope you won’t bother me again!"

"You had a crush on him, so after reuniting, your love rekindled!" Su Tianqing wasn’t angry either, he said, "But, Song Ziyu, you love me, everyone knows that. A crush is from the green days of youth, loving me is from when you grew up and developed your own thoughts and opinions. If you can rekindle a crush, how is it possible that you don’t love me again?"

Song Ziyu leaned against the door: "Su Tianqing, should I applaud your arrogance and narcissism? Or should I headbutt the wall in regret for ever having loved you? Whom I choose to be with is my business. You said it yourself, I am a woman with opinions and thoughts. I like men like Teacher Gan, who have knowledge, manners, and cultivation. If we like each other, we’ll be together, and if one day we no longer do, we’ll break up amicably and remain friends. But what about you? Why don’t you look in the mirror and see your current state?"

"Then let me into the house, and I’ll go see myself in your mirror," Su Tianqing shamelessly suggested.

"Get out!" Song Ziyu defended the door, refusing to let him in.

At this time, Gan Zi’s footsteps had already arrived.

He watched the scene at the door, with Su Tianqing sticking one foot in, trying to get into the house.

Song Ziyu was resolutely guarding the room’s door, not letting him in.

"Ziyu..." Gan Zi called out, "Let him in!"

Song Ziyu didn’t quite understand Gan Zi’s intent, but she let Su Tianqing in anyway!

Then, Gan Zi took Song Ziyu’s hand, "Since Mr. Su wishes to stay here, you wouldn’t mind going to the guest house with me to stay, would you?"

"Of course not." Song Ziyu smiled.

She was very willing to go stay at the guest house with Gan Zi!

Su Tianqing: "..."

Just like that, Gan Zi didn’t make any grand gestures, but simply by holding Song Ziyu’s hand, he had instantly defeated Young Master Su!

Su Tianqing was so frustrated!

Gan Zi noticed that Song Ziyu looked a bit pale and weak, and as they walked slowly, he asked her, "Are you okay?"

"I’m okay!" Song Ziyu sighed, "Xiaoyan is much stronger than me. I’m so embarrassed today!"

"Everyone has different talents, Xiaoyan has such a talent!" Gan Zi’s voice was like pearls, very pleasant to hear, and his explanation made perfect sense, "You see, in other aspects, Xiaoyan is just like an ordinary cute girl, but in forensic medicine, she has an extremely high talent."

"Exactly!" Song Ziyu nodded, "I can learn so much with Teacher Gan."

"The student surpasses the master; you will surpass me!" The look in Gan Zi’s eyes was tinged with tenderness amidst the night.

Song Ziyu laughed heartily: "Then you have to teach me even more!"

"I will spare no effort in teaching," Gan Zi gazed at her intently.

The night, like water, flowed through this small town.

The mountain breeze, as if on cue, began to blow at this moment.

His eyes rested on her face.

The still-chilly wind brushed the hair by her cheeks.

Gan Zi, tall and handsome, had a look of gentle adoration naturally etched in his brows.

When he looked at her, Song Ziyu felt a bit shy.

As he lowered his head, she thought he was about to kiss her, but instead he softly brushed the hair at her forehead, "You go to sleep first, I will wait for Xiaoyan to return."

"You want to get involved in the case?" Song Ziyu asked in surprise.

Gan Zi nodded, "The town is going through a critical period; naturally, I hope they can solve the case quickly. Moreover, it’s best to resolve such a horrifying case as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Teacher Gan." No matter how strong Song Ziyu was, she still hoped there would be someone by her side to share all troubles and joys.

"I’ll get involved too!" Su Tianqing appeared beside them at some point.

When he saw Gan Zi brushing the hair from her cheeks, he nearly blew his top!

But then again, does he have the right to be angry?

Better to do something practical and take on some of Song Ziyu’s workload.

Song Ziyu saw him follow and her tone turned cold, "Mr. Su knows how to investigate cases too?"

"You think only ’Beast’ Gan knows how to analyze?" Su Tianqing was at loggerheads with Gan Zi, "The person must have been fond of, or is still fond of, reading detective novels or watching crime shows to mimic a criminal act. However, he must have his own thoughts, which is why he left a budding rose in the secret place of the women he killed. This is his signature, different from Jack the Ripper’s methods."

Song Ziyu was a complete outsider when it came to solving cases, but Su Tianqing’s theory won Gan Zi’s approval.

"Let’s work on it together!" Gan Zi was not only cultivated but also had a great capacity for tolerance.

Song Ziyu naturally did not want Su Tianqing to get involved, feeling that his participation would only cause chaos and not help the case at all.

Yet, Gan Zi still comforted her, "One more person adds additional strength."

So, Song Ziyu nodded, hoping that Su Tianqing would be more mature, and not cause any more trouble.

Song Ziyu took a shower, and the scene remained endlessly in her mind, but fortunately, Qiao Xiaoyan came back.

When Qiao Xiaoyan returned, she found Gan Zi and Su Tianqing still there, and Song Ziyu had come out of her room after changing clothes.

"You go to sleep!" said Su Tianqing.

Song Ziyu shook her head, "Xiaoyan, you’re back just in time. We were all waiting for you. Tell us about the situation with the case!"

Qiao Xiaoyan sat down and drank a glass of water, "You all were waiting for me?"

Gan Zi looked at her, "We thought about the negative impact this case would have on the town and wanted to solve it as soon as possible. So everyone got together to think of solutions."

Qiao Xiaoyan put down her glass, "Alright then, I’ll talk about the autopsy. The victim’s name is Chen Hui, 20 years old, death occurred around three in the morning. The killer poisoned her first and then eviscerated her. Her stomach contained milk, sleeping pills, and pesticides — the kind that is very commonly used by farmers to spray on crops, practically in every household, so the police are deploying more people to investigate the source."

"As for her personal relations, she left the village at the age of 17 to work elsewhere. Whether she was really a prostitute is also awaiting confirmation from the police. However, her hymen shows old tears, which means she had sexual relations with men." Qiao Xiaoyan added, "Regarding her situation in the village, she only came back the morning before yesterday, and had only met with people in the village."

Su Tianqing listened attentively, he asked, "She returned yesterday morning and was killed in the early hours of the morning the next day. Why did the killer choose her? Could it be a man she had a relationship with before? But tracking her to the village to kill her secretly seems more complicated than killing Chen Hui outside – and with such a brutal method at that!"
