Chapter 119 - 75: Criticism
The Government Official exerted his strength to help Yin Wanwan drink water, but he realized that all that came out of her mouth was fresh blood, and he quickly pried open her mouth and couldn’t help exclaiming, "Inspector, she has bitten her tongue to commit suicide."
Throughout the ordeal, Ran Yan had stood not far away, unmoved. The moment Yin Wanwan fell into the river, Ran Yan saw the blood spilling from the corner of her lips. Yin Wanwan’s love and hatred were so intense—if she really had resolved to die, how could she have left any chance for survival!
She used Zhang Fei’s fresh blood to cleanse the hatred in her heart, and perhaps only by paying back Yin Miaomiao with a life in the Pingjiang River could she feel fair and rest in peace.
Ran Yan pursed her lips and looked down at the body lying on the deck. "Wife, are you alright?" Wan Lu asked worriedly.
Ran Yan shook her head. She remembered Ran Yunsheng mentioning that Yin Wanwan was a lively and cheerful girl who often disregarded family rules and was somewhat rebellious. For such a girl to pretend to be a model of gentle and virtuous womanhood must have been a severe torment! And to live a life that was built upon her own elder sister’s life, constantly worried about being exposed...
Being exposed? Ran Yan paused for a moment, then understood. Yin Wanwan’s disguise was not perfect; perhaps Han Shan and Fan Chun had noticed something and she simply decided to kill them to silence them and frame Qin Silang.
Ran Yan took a deep breath, bid farewell to Liu Pinrang, and then left the boat with Wan Lu.
At this point in the case, Ran Yan was no longer interested in following up, just as before, she was only responsible for performing autopsies and investigating crime scenes, providing correct directions and clues for criminal investigations. If this case had not involved Wan Lu’s safety, she would definitely not have meddled further.
Leaning against the carriage, Ran Yan took out a bundle of papers from her sleeve that Wei Niang had passed to her and carefully opened it, finding three carefully folded papers inside.
—It was actually a deed to a house!
