Beneath the Turning Points

Part Ⅳ

12.

I couldn't help but choke up when I said this.

Immediately afterward, the micro-expressionist signaled Zhang Bureaus to go out. It was about five minutes before they came back.

Only this time, when they came back, Zhang Bing brought me a cup of hot water, and his expression eased up a lot.

I think the micro-expression expert had told Bureau Zhang that I wasn't lying.

Bureau Zhang: "Go on."

That brute, Wan Jie, even made a move on my mom when he was drunk, and even shamelessly said that he could take care of us, mother and daughter.

At that time, mom argued with him.

Mom expressed to Wan Jie that she could never let me marry Wan Jie and was adamant that she wanted to cancel the engagement.

When Wanjie heard mom say this, he completely lost his mind and forcibly violated mom.

Mom fought back, and Wanjie was so enraged that he killed her with a knife in a fit of madness.

Wanjie's parents return home and witness Wanjie fumbling with his mom's body.

Wanjie's mom tugged on my coat with a deadly grip and prayed to me:

"Nee, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have hidden it from you. I know Wanjie deserves to die. But I'm a mother too.

Please, please don't go to the police. He was confused for a moment. If you want to find someone to pay for your life and you don't feel good in your heart, I'll go to hell. Please, please don't go to the police."

Wanjie's mother continued to tearfully beg me.

And I suddenly lost my words, I could hear nothing, I could see nothing, and an unbelievably heavy calmness welled up in my chest.

I had only one thought at the time, which was to make up for my faults and punish myself for my stupidity and slowness.

Bureau Chief Zhang asked me in puzzlement, "Why didn't you call the police later?"

I said, "Wan Jie's parents asked for connections and issued a certificate of mental illness for Wan Jie."

Bureau Zhang suddenly stood up and accused me:

"Even if Wan Jie is mentally ill, it doesn't affect your ability to go to the police at all, much less Wan Jie's ability to be judged by the law. Fanny, if you didn't call the police, you were basically trying to kill him yourself!!!"

"I didn't." I stared dead at Bureau Zhang, who glanced his head to the micro-expression expert, looking for approval from his eyes.

The expert nodded, "She's not lying."

13.

Zhang Bureaus then asked me:

"What about your child with Wanjie?"

"After five months of pregnancy, the baby was miscarried because of a fall."

"I'm afraid it wasn't a fall, was it?"

Mr. Zhang threw out a medical report:

"We investigated your previous medical reports, and you aborted the baby yourself."

As I expected, Bureau Zhang had done a thorough investigation on me.

So I calmly admitted, "That's right, because at five months I detected that the child's brain cells were abnormal and that he would be born as a deformed child, so I aborted him."

Bureau Zhang was silent for a long time to show that he sympathized with my experience.

However, the expert under the shadows was staring at me with staring eyes.

His expression encompassed the confidence of grasping everything, and he even intentionally covered it with a mocking smile.

My intuition told me: he was dangerous.

Bureau Zhang then asked me, "And then what?"

But the expert immediately interrupted him, "Bureau Zhang, where did the diagnostic report come from?"

Zhang Bureau was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

The expert stared at Zhang Bureau, his stern eyes seemed to be conveying something to him.

Suddenly Bureau Zhang seemed to understand something:

"Could the diagnostic report be fake? That nurse ......"

"You guessed it right, the nurse was a fake that Fanny got someone to impersonate, and the report is also a fake." The expert explained.

I responded with a sneer:

"Are experts so legally irresponsible when they speak now, Bureau Zhang?"

To my surprise, the expert threw out an electronic payment voucher on the table, as well as a secretly taken photo of me and the nurse in the alleyway.

Bureau Zhang immediately picked it up and scrutinized the photo, looked at me and then at the expert, saying, "Old Liu, why are you a nerd doing police work?"

Zhang Bureau expressed his dissatisfaction with the expert's behavior.

Expert Li explained, "Bureau Zhang, you will naturally know later."

Immediately afterward, the expert looked at me with interest:

"Fanny, Wan Jie's psychiatric report diagnosis was not forged by his parents who asked for connections, right? He is indeed mentally ill, and his intelligence is simply not enough for him to kill!"

A sudden chill ran down my back.

Those eyes of his felt more and more familiar to me.

Only the fine lines at the corners of his eyes and the drooping eyelids hid the familiar part of me.

After fifteen years ...... I didn't even recognize him.

My classmate Liu Ye.

"What? You don't recognize me? Professor Fan?" Liu Ye brought his face to me.

It was only then that I saw the face that I had scratched with a knife, and it was indeed Liu Ye.

Once my college classmate, his obsession to search for the truth was almost to the point of losing his personality.

"Liu Ye, what do you want to do?" I felt something big was wrong.

Liu Ye completely disproved the statement I just made.

"Wan Jie didn't even know your mom, your mom was already dead when you and Wan Jie first got together."

My body involuntarily shivered and my palms were sweating coldly.

Bureau Chief Zhang was also very surprised, he looked at Liu Ye, angry that Liu Ye had just not told him the truth.

"Bureau Zhang, can I take Fanny away first?"

Bureau Zhang grabbed Liu Ye's collar:

"The superiors invited you here so that you can assist in the investigation."

Liu Ye pushed Bureau Zhang away with one hand:

"Then you can make your debriefing report now. She, Fanny, didn't kill anyone."

"Then the murderer is ......

"Her daughter, Fan Tian Tian." Liu Ye said.

"No, I killed her! I have a motive to kill!"

I nervously grabbed the interrogation table, my efforts to prove it were almost undone the moment I recognized Liu Ye.

The interrogation room was filled with smoke at that moment.

Liu Ye's voice and the smoke formed a tangible force that was pressing on my nerves.

"Fanny, your mom died from your experiments, right?"

"Because she had cancer, you wanted to make your mom live longer through your experiment."

"But you didn't realize that it made your mom's condition worse."

"In the end, your mom died."

"You went into a frenzy of self-loathing, and you locked yourself in the lab, and you worked like crazy on the experiments with a near-exhaustion that distracted you from thinking about your mother."

"With your extreme dedication to your work, one day you made a breakthrough in the recombination part of the experiment."

"Then a thought came into your mind: you have to resurrect your mom and atone for your sins."

"So you revitalized yourself just to clone your mom."

"You didn't realize that it would go better than I thought."

"In the end, you used yourself as a human experiment, placing your mother's cellular race in your uterus to develop."

"A few months later, you were pregnant."

"But you thought that having a child out of the blue would attract attention."

"because it's against scientific ethics."

"If your superiors find out, your mother won't be able to live a happy and complete life even if she gives birth."

"So, you immediately destroyed all your lab records and quickly found the slacker, Wan Jie.

"He's not married even though he's almost forty, but you don't mind, as long as there's a complete family to accept you and the child in your womb."

"And when Wan's parents found out that a highly educated woman was willing to marry their son, they were more than happy to do so."

"They don't mind if you have a child either."

"Because, Wan Kit is really mentally ill."

"He's mentally defective, mentally underdeveloped."

"So you married him and carefully raised your daughter.

"Until you found out that Manjie's parents were urging Manjie to take up your daughter's cause."

"Because you couldn't get pregnant for more than ten years."

"So, Wanjie took advantage of your absence and assaulted Sweetie."

"You're furious. Sweetie means more to you than just a daughter."

"She's your new mom and your life's work."

"You couldn't bear the thought of Sugar being victimized by this family."

"So you hatched a plan to murder Vangie's mother, Vangie's father and Vangie."
