Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 769 - 520: Extra - Guarding Her (3)

Su Tianqing dodged and only his clothes were slashed.

Song Ziyu pressed on, reaching out with the fruit knife to slash at him, top to bottom, left and right, with incredible speed.

While dodging, Su Tianqing roared, "Song Ziyu, what the hell are you doing in the dead of night? Are you trying to murder me, aren’t you?"

Yes! Song Ziyu answered him in her heart!

That was exactly what she was thinking!

However, as someone with higher education, she knew very well that breaking the law knowingly was not a good thing!

At that moment, Song Ziyu wielding the fruit knife, continuously forced Su Tianqing back to the doorway!

Her intention was clear; she wanted him to leave!

Su Tianqing had already retreated to the doorway, and seeing her still aggressively coming at him with the knife, he seized the right moment to grab her wrist, and with a smack of his hand, the fruit knife dropped to the ground.

And Song Ziyu, caught by his counter-grab, collapsed softly into his arms.

She knew, if he realized her intent, this man would surely explode, biting her like a rabid dog!

As for the consequences, she was very clear about them.

So, if you’re going to play a role, you might as well play it to the end!

"Song Ziyu..." Su Tianqing saw her slumping into his arms, he lifted her," What are you doing? Do you even know what you’re doing?"

Song Ziyu gently closed her eyes and did not respond to him.

"Could it be sleepwalking?" Su Tianqing muttered to himself, "Song Ziyu, you really are a handful! Good thing I’m here, otherwise what would you have done if you hurt yourself while sleepwalking?"

A torrent of frustrated curses ran through Song Ziyu’s mind!

It was clearly she who was driving him away, how did it turn into him worrying about her getting hurt!

This man wasn’t just arrogant; he was extremely narcissistic!

At this time, Su Tianqing picked her up and carried her back to the room, laying her on her bed.

He didn’t leave immediately; he sat beside her and covered her with the blanket.

Watching the sleeping Song Ziyu, he sighed softly.

Some have demons and tribulations in their lifetime, and it seems his demon, his tribulation, would be none other than Song Ziyu.

Su Tianqing didn’t do anything else; he just sat there, watching her.

Perhaps he’d never done anything of this sort before; he thought that if she were to suddenly wake up, he would actually feel embarrassed.

Luckily, she was a deep sleeper!

Song Ziyu, seeing that he wasn’t leaving, didn’t make any rash moves either. She was tired and sleepy, so eventually, she really fell asleep!

...

The next morning.

The crime scene in the village.

Gan Zi woke up very early, just about five o’clock as dawn was breaking, he was up!

Bai Ye, his roommate, was also very alert; although Bai Ye still wanted to sleep, the thought of his mission had him jumping out of bed at once.

"Morning, Professor Gan!" Bai Ye said with a smile.

"Morning!" Gan Zi looked at him: "You can sleep a bit longer."

"Can’t sleep!" Bai Ye quickly washed his face with cold water to wake himself up, "Let’s go together and see if there’s any new discovery. Oh, and there’s no need to wake Xiaoyan; let her sleep a bit longer!"

Gan Zi nodded in agreement.

Both of them arrived at the crime scene together.

Gan Zi was watching very slowly, but as he watched, he was thinking. Bai Ye spoke to the night watch brothers first: "Everyone has worked hard! Did you find anything during the night?"

One of the policemen said, "A man didn’t return home until after three in the morning. He is the victim Chen Hui’s brother. However, there’s an issue with him..."

He said this and pointed at his head.

Gan Zi listened and furrowed his brows slightly.

Bai Ye explained: "This is the situation, Professor Gan. Chen Hui’s parents died early, and she depended on her brother for a living. While she was studying, her brother labored to carry stones to support her education. Due to an accident, the brother suffered a head injury and has been mentally challenged since. Later, to ensure the Chen Family lineage continued, Chen Hui worked outside the village, and whether or not she engaged in prostitution is something we need to wait for the brothers to investigate..."

"I asked him where he went last night and he couldn’t tell. He just looked very excited," said the policeman who found Chen Hui’s brother coming home late. "Other than that, there’s nothing else."

Gan Zi nodded: "You’ve all worked hard. Go rest."

Bai Ye and Gan Zi entered the scene together. Although the victim Chen Hui had already been taken to the city’s autopsy room, the bloodstain smell was still very strong. Upon entering, they could feel the brutality of the crime scene firsthand.

"Professor Gan, this is what I’ve summarized so far: Chen Hui returned home on March 2nd, and then was murdered shortly after 3 a.m. on the 3rd. Since she only lived with her mentally challenged brother, who roamed around the village all day, even when she died, her brother wouldn’t notice and thus her body was only discovered on the evening of the 3rd. I think that the killer selected the victim deliberately, and didn’t choose at random," Bai Ye analyzed.

Gan Zi listened but did not speak; his eyebrows were tightly knit as he pondered the essence of the matter.

Bai Ye continued, "Professor Gan, I know I’m just a junior policeman and it might seem like I’m ’playing the lute to a cow’ speaking to you, and if I say something wrong, please don’t be upset!"

"Your analysis is very accurate!" Gan Zi said, fixing his gaze on him, "Have you ever heard of criminal psychological profiling?"

"I know, it’s very popular abroad!" Bai Ye said excitedly, "It means roughly delineating a range based on the criminal’s modus operandi and psychological tactics. Professor Gan, you know this too! Quickly, teach me!"

"Based on what we have at the moment, the psychological profile is still weak. We will wait for the colleagues to send back more information on Chen Hui’s work outside the village, and then we can study it in detail," Gan Zi explained.

He used the word "we," which made Bai Ye feel very comfortable.

When Bai Ye first met him, he thought university professors were all very aloof.

However, seeing how much Qiao Xiaoyan admired Gan Zi, he also changed his view.

At this moment, as he and Gan Zi arrived at the crime scene together, and although Gan Zi spoke little, each of his words was powerful and resonant, which made Bai Ye like working with him.

Suddenly, Bai Ye said, "Professor Gan, I think Mayor Song must like you too!"

This sentence had nothing to do with the crime at all.

Gan Zi was slightly taken aback, then glanced at Bai Ye, gave a faint smile, and said nothing else.

"Regarding where Chen Hui’s brother went last night, you can discuss it with Director Su when he arrives," Gan Zi suggested.

Bai Ye, who was quick on the uptake, immediately grasped the implication: "You mean, he might have gone to the government side? But, what would his purpose be?"

Just as Bai Ye said this, Su Tianqing’s call had already come through, and Bai Ye looked at Gan Zi with great admiration, thinking the professor really had an uncanny foresight!

Government.

Su Tianqing was kicked to the ground by Song Ziyu. He was having a good sleep when — what happened?

This woman kicked him fiercely!

"What are you doing?" Su Tianqing sat on the floor, asking angrily.

Song Ziyu did not know when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, he was lying beside her, and he had even shamelessly stolen half of her blanket!

How could she not be angry?

"Who allowed you to sleep next to me?" Song Ziyu saw that it was already light outside.

Su Tianqing opened the door, pointing to a fruit knife on the floor, "See this? What is it? This is what you tried to kill me with while sleepwalking last night! Song Ziyu, if I had been asleep, you would’ve killed me by now!"

"You had it coming!" Song Ziyu feigned sleepwalking deliberately, "You dare to sleep next to me, you must be tired of living!"

Su Tianqing glared at her: "This is the attempted murder of your husband!"
