Chapter 184 The Murderer Was Not Fang Yan?

The incessant hubbub in the broadcast room did not subside for a long time.

After all, it was Ye Yifan, a live show master, who had been so easily captured by Tang Xia. The audience was indignant, although such an ordinary gesture might not mean that much. However, all of them had to wait for their next move.

Before they noticed, Tang Xia and Ye Yifan started heading for the county hospital. Tang Xia moved her legs as if there was a huge sandbag attached to them. When they finally arrived at their destination, she felt joyful beyond words.

“Why are you so excited?” Ye Yifan was amused when he saw her grinning face.

Tang Xia shook her head childishly and said adorably, “I’m not.” Then, she ran to a bench not far from her, pointed down and shouted at Ye Yifan, “I’m sitting here for a while.”

After walking for such a long distance, she had used up her strength at the foot of the mountain. As always, women were not so strong as men.

Ye Yifan sat down beside her. Without saying a word, he waited for her quietly and watched her exhaustedly tap her legs.

Before long, Tang Xia said embarrassedly, “Let’s move inside the hospital. We don’t have to waste time because of me.” In her opinion, Dabing, who had been severely wounded, should be given priority in this case. She needed to withstand this a little longer.

They rushed straight to the window once they walked in, requesting that an ambulance be sent to treat Dabing.

Then, a troop of nurses and a doctor boarded an ambulance with a medical case and other necessities. To be sure, on the ambulance were also Ye Yifan and Tang Xia, who were responsible for showing the driver the way.

When they reached that region, they saw lots of firefighting trucks, some of which pulled over by their side. Firefighters were busy dealing with the natural disaster, although nothing had been restored yet.

The driver looked back at Ye Yifan and said with an awkward expression, “We can’t get through that place. The crack will only allow a few people to pass.”

The ambulance wouldn’t be able to pass unless the landslide was tackled down. Ye Yifan got off, walked over to one of the firefighters, and asked eagerly, “How long will it take you to handle the landslide?”

“Alas, there’s a long way to go. We won’t solve this for the moment because it’s really hard to deal with.” The firefighter, who viewed the devastation in this place, felt as if he were about to devote his life to removing a mountain as the Foolish Old Man once had done.

“What did he say?” Tang Xia was a little worried. Thus, she also debearded the ambulance and walked over to Ye Yifan.

He shook his head, planning to negotiate with the doctor.

“Sorry to bother you, but I have a plan. You may as well leave some of the medicine for us and drive back.” Ye Yifan discussed with the doctor. He couldn’t order them to walk back to the villa like him, but he could ask them to leave.

The doctor had made a trip in vain. The nurses picked out the medicinal necessities and handed them a suitcase. Then, they got on the ambulance and left.

With the suitcase in his hand, Ye Yifan told Tang Xia, “Let’s get back now. It’s late.”

Two firefighters were walking over to them, ready to guide them. The way that had just been cleared would help them move faster toward the place where the landslide had occurred.

One of the firefighters told them, “I’ll drive you in.” While he was heading for the car, he was stopped by Ye Yifan. The firefighter looked at him in confusion.

“What’s wrong? It will be dark when you walk there. It’ll be faster if I give you a ride, won’t it?” The firefighter looked up at the darkening sky. The murky air made them uncomfortable.

Ye Yifan refused quickly. “No, just hurry back to your work. We can make it if we walk faster. It would be bad if we suspended your process. Your superiors would blame you.”

He declined the firefighter’s offer. It seemed that he thought this would delay their emergent aid to the landslide, but he was actually afraid that the firefighter would suffer a misfortune when they reached that villa. They would better be careful.

Tang Xia walked rather fast on the way back, so she could have even outstripped Ye Yifan. She was in a completely different state from when they had left.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Ye Yifan grabbed her and asked her to walk slower. Otherwise, their legs would hurt much more.

The way remained unchanged. It was neither longer nor shorter. However, what changed was their state of mind. Nothing seemed strange to them. Thus, they were more at ease with their sense of accurate direction, which told them what to look forward to.

“I got enough rest on the ambulance just now.” Tang Xia threw these words out. In fact, her legs had been moving forward by themselves because they were already numb. Upon the downhill road, she could not help but move fleetly, failing to take control of her legs.

She wished to walk slower but failed when she tried.

It was dusk when they arrived at the villa. Sweat trickled down Tang Xia’s face as they approached the door and found it open.

Tang Xia stopped vigilantly and asked Ye Yifan nervously, “What happened?”

An intense bad foreboding made her heart beat violently. She couldn’t pacify her thrilled heart. Although it might just be an illusion, she remained worried.

No one could foresee the future before the truth was discovered. Thus, Ye Yifan clapped her on the shoulder and asked her to go with him to have a look. Any right or wrong would be displayed clearly in front of them.

Tang Xia tremulously followed Ye Yifan, lest he should disappear abruptly. She reached out to hold him by his clothing, slowing down her pace and cautiously moving forward with half steps.

They were startled once they went in, their eyes opening wide instantly.

The room was filled with the smell of blood. It was in disorder, as if there had been a fight. Things were totally out of place, and strips of cloth had been torn and scattered all over the floor.

Moreover, there was a pool of blood flowing and creeping around. Fang Yan was bleeding.

Fang Yan was miserably lying on the ground. He seemed to have been pushed over by someone on purpose, as his posture was quite unnatural. His head was on the side of the door, facing it. His struggling face looked twisted, while his jaw had been broken after being crashed against the ground. It now looked rather hideous.

On his back was a knife——a curved knife with a black hilt that was apparently a portable dagger. Obviously, he had been stabbed in the back and killed. There were no more wounds based on his appearance.

Ye Yifan and Tang Xia had affirmed that Fang Yan was the murderer, yet now he lay dead miserably in front of them. Although the mist enveloped them, they could at least conclude that the murderer was another man.

The only one who had gone through the same accident as Fang Yan was Song Sisi, who had been staying with Fang Yan in this villa. Where was she now?

Ye Yifan and Tang Xia walked side by side while looking inside. They were wary of any other terrors as they searched for Song Sisi.

They discovered her. She was hiding behind a partition, where she could not see what was behind her. She was also covered in blood, which made Tang Xia cover her mouth in fright.

Fortunately, Song Sisi was still alive. She had her arms around her knees as she crouched against the wall and murmured repeatedly, “Don’t kill me.”

She looked as if she had gone blind. Her eyes were dull while they were gazing blankly at the floor and her head was swinging slightly.

Ye Yifan could not judge based on her extremely terrified look what kind of a man could be so ferocious as to kill his fellows one by one and then cover his tracks silently.

Although Ye Yifan knew very well that Song Sisi was the key to making a breakthrough, he decided to examine Fang Yan first. He strode over the blood and squatted above Fang Yan’s waist. He examined his wound carefully in an effort to restore the scene of the crime in his mind.

Fang Yan had known very well how to correctly assess a situation and go about getting himself out of any danger. However, he had not escaped this time. Someone must have orchestrated all of this.

At the same time, Tang Xia approached and attended to Song Sisi. She stroked her back, helping her calm down and come back to her senses.

Thanks to Tang Xia’s solace, she managed to regain her consciousness. She looked at Tang Xia pathetically, as if she was about to cry out at any time.

“It’s over.” Tang Xia touched her hair gently. In times of danger, she felt safe in the presence of someone she was familiar with and who had not been so hostile to her before.

Tang Xia asked in a hurry once she calmed down, “What happened to you? We were just out for a few hours. Why does this place look like this?” She looked around, feeling rather pitiful.

When asked what had happened, Song Sisi looked ready to break down. After all, she had suffered this horrible accident by herself. She failed to restrain her tears and held her shoulders with her hands, deeply burying her head in her arms.

The excessive terror overwhelmed her, which made Tang Xia, who was eager to know the truth, feel quite uncertain. She didn’t know if she should ask her again.

At last, she made up her mind. She shook Song Sisi and asked, “Tell me what happened first, will you?”

Tears wouldn’t solve the problem. The only way to ensure their safety was to discover the murderer and give him no more chances to harm them again.

Song Sisi’s eyes were as red as a rabbit’s as she said in a husky voice, “We were sitting in the living room when a tall man in black popped up out of nowhere. We didn’t pay much attention to his motivation.”

She choked on her sobs again and again as she recalled this. It was the first time in her life that she had ever witnessed a bloody scene.

“Later, I left for a while. Before I knew it, he and Fang Yan had a quarrel. I rushed over and saw Fang Yan trying to run away. However, the man in black seized him and killed Fang Yan cruelly.”

Everything had happened so fast. Before Song Sisi could react, Fang Yan had lost his life.

So this was what had happened… The identity of the man in black was extremely crucial. After clearing her mind, Tang Xia asked her, “Did you see that man’s face?”

That man had not killed Song Sisi, which made her the only one who had survived this murder case. Could she provide more favorable clues? Tang Xia gazed closely at Song Sisi in the hope that she would offer her some valuable information.

Song Sisi quavered. “I saw it…”
