Chapter 54: The Logic of Healing
"The person who died was my sister, and I am Zhang Ruyue, the one who should have died in the photo."
Zhang Ruyue's tone rose. She curled up her legs, put her head on her left knee, held one foot with both hands, and looked at Lu Xin with a scrutinizing look and amusement.
"So, do you believe it?"
Zhang Ruyue said this, she looked at her toes and moved them.
Lu Xin's expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask:
"But why is the deceased's DNA Zhang Ruyue's?"
Even though there was already some foreshadowing, the two of them switched places and even changed their DNA. What is going on?
"What's so strange?"
Zhang Ruyue stretched her body, supporting herself with her hands behind her back. She looked at everyone, at the shocked Lu Xin, and at her mother in disbelief.
The smile on her face faded a little, and she just sneered and said:
"I've already said that as long as we complete the tasks according to the film, everything will be in order for us."
"Even if a real human-dog stood in front of you, you wouldn't doubt it. I just put a mole on it. What difference does it make?"
"When I went to the police station, I saw you talking to that dog and thought you were going to come up with something."
"But how can a human defeat a ghost?"
When she said this, Zhang Ruyue had a smile on her face, but she was shaking violently and her eyes were red.
"How can humans defeat ghosts!"
Human-dog?
Lu Xin couldn't believe it. How could there be such a thing in their police station? Had they really encountered it? Why...she had no recollection of it at all?
Lu Xin rubbed his palms and put his hand on the gun handle again.
"Do you know how scary ghosts are?"
Lu Xin recalled, not knowing whether he was convincing himself or others.
"I felt like I was really turning into a cat. My beautiful face became strange, and the colors in my eyes gradually disappeared. I became very tired, and I subconsciously curled up on the ground, looking around."
"Fortunately... fortunately, after I killed that dead cat, I recovered."
"But if I don't complete the task, I will turn into a cat!"
"What happened in the photo was supposed to happen. It was the ghost that killed people and tortured me in passing. What do you mean by arresting me?"
"Since you think you can't catch the ghost, why don't you just catch a human?"
"If you have the ability, go catch ghosts! If you have the ability, save me. Why let me die? Why make me make choices? Why blame me?"
“I was forced to do this!!”
“I was also forced…”
"I didn't know it would be like this!!"
Zhang Ruyue said blankly, her eyes were blank, and her words went from being loud to becoming softer and softer.
She doesn't want to either.
"Yue'er...how could you say that about the police?"
My mother's voice was trembling. She clutched her apron tightly, revealing her oily pants underneath. She took a half step forward, but the policeman pulled her body and she couldn't move away. She could only lean forward as far as she could and said:
"Yue'er, you should apologize to the police."
"Why should I apologize? Why is it my fault?!"
Mom shook her head and looked at Zhang Ruyue in disbelief:
"But it's not the police's fault."
"They don't want to either. They want to catch the ghost, but they just need time. Just say it out loud."
"You are not wrong, it is Mom who is wrong."
"Mom didn't know you went through all this. I should have been the one to stay with you last night."
Zhang Ruyue suddenly raised her head and spoke in a loud voice, as if she was unwilling and mocking.
"What's the point of you accompanying me! What's the point of playing the family card with me? And then what? You want me to turn myself in? All you've done in your life is make me admit my mistakes, but what have I done wrong?"
"What have you been useful for since you were little?! Have you ever helped me?!"
"None of you can help me!"
"I won't die. I'm trying so hard to live, I definitely won't die!!"
"I just want to live, don't mess with me!"
My mother had tears in her eyes. She only knew how to cook, weave, clean and be a dormitory manager.
She thought she could be a mother, but she found out that she had not been a mother at all in the past 20 years.
But now that things have come to this, what else can I say?
"Okay, she's already stubborn. Don't say any more to her, or I'll arrest you for obstructing public service, mother."
Lu Xin looked at Zhang Ruyue with a sharp gaze. Although the story she told was pitiful, being soft on the suspect would be cruel to her own people.
No matter what, she is the murderer of her sister.
"I will report everything you said to the higher authorities. I understand your situation, but that's not a reason for you to kill your sister."
"Come with us. If you resist, we have the right to use force to arrest you."
The mother also advised:
"Ruyue, just listen to the police first, there will be a way..."
"OK!"
Zhang Ruyue interrupted both of them. She looked at Lu Xin provocatively, her whole body tense. She leaned back and put her hand into the gap of the sofa.
Li Que narrowed his eyes, saw Zhang Ruyue's actions, and tightened the gun in his hand slightly.
Zhang Ruyue laughed and said:
"I want to see if you can defeat the power of the ghost and truly remember me."
"Stop talking nonsense and be strict with those who resist!"
Lu Xin obviously couldn't wait for Zhang Ruyue to give up resistance, so she signaled the people around her with her eyes, and then everyone rushed towards Zhang Ruyue!
The next moment, Zhang Ruyue pulled out a knife from the gap in the sofa and slashed at Lu Xin with a ferocious smile.
"careful!"
Li Que reminded loudly that he had a premonition that the pistol was loaded with soft anesthetic bullets with less lethality and was about to attack Zhang Ruyue!
At this time, Zhang Ruyue stopped the knife because she didn't want to hurt them at all, but just wanted to force the police to take the last step.
She just wanted to know if it was what she thought.
Turning to look at the gun, Zhang Ruyue saw Li Que's trembling fingers, saw the pulled gun barrel, and saw Li Que's determination.
Zhang Ruyue closed her eyes and waited for the result.
But no gunshot was heard.
After a moment, Zhang Ruyue opened her eyes blankly. She looked around, saw everyone's solemn expressions, and saw the trance in everyone's eyes.
The situation changes.
Everyone put away their guns and breathed a sigh of relief. Then Lu Xin approached Zhang Ruyue and comforted her:
"Don't worry, we checked and there's no one else at your house. We were so scared... We thought the murderer who killed Zhang Ruyue was going to kill you too."
"Don't worry, Ru Liang, we will definitely protect you."
"good."
"Thank you, officer."
Zhang Ruyue looked at Lu Xin calmly.
She smiled, her eyes narrowed, but her heart sank into the abyss.
She clenched her fists and thought so.
really.
No one will be able to save her.
There won't be anyone.
