"Ha." Moody finished the wine in the glass with bloodshot eyes, then threw the glass against the wall with a bang. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't need evidence. I also know that if she did it, she would never be caught! Who is she? She has the ability to destroy Victoria Harbor and sneak into the Sixth Continent to save people... If I must have evidence, how long will it take for Elena to be buried?"
Moody covered his head and screamed in agony: "Did you know that she even refused to close her eyes when she died!"
When he saw the body lying in the freezer at the forensic doctor's office, there was still shock, fear and unwillingness in his eyes.
She didn't close her eyes.
He didn't even close his eyes when he died.
Whenever Moody thought of this, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He couldn't sleep all night. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of her.
In his dream, he saw her questioning him again and again, why didn't he avenge her? Why did he let those people go? Why did he let her lie there alone in the cold
"She clearly asked me to go see her that day. If I hadn't gone back, maybe she wouldn't have met with an accident... She was only 24."
24…At the age when all dreams were just setting sail, a dazzling star fell, dying in such a miserable and unwilling way.
Moody opened his eyes, and there was only hatred in them.
"I don't want evidence."
"I want Qiao Nian to be buried with her!"
…
at the same time.
Same location.
The woman with her back to the shadow was still pruning branches, but this time, the crabapple branches she was pruning had large, dense, and delicate crabapple flowers passing through her fingers and blooming until they rotted.
The strapless evening gown the woman wore today was as graceful and eye-catching as the crabapple flowers she grew.
The shadow stopped a few steps away from her, standing at the same distance as last time, and no longer moving closer.
The woman seemed to have a pair of eyes on her back and spoke the moment he stopped. "You're back."
"Um."
"Moody investigated the theft from the vault and Zhong Yiliu?"
"Yes, he followed the instructions on the note and went to find evidence. I prepared the evidence in advance, and his investigation went smoothly. He is now certain that the 'murderer' is Qiao Nian."
“Tsk.”
The woman let out a light click of her tongue and turned her head to look at the crabapple blossoms in front of her. She seemed dissatisfied with the results of the pruning and slowly wiped the pruning shears.
"too slow."
"?"
Shadow understood what she meant, raised his head and then lowered it again, waiting silently for the woman's arrangements.
Just like last time, the woman ruthlessly cut off the work she was not satisfied with, watched the gorgeous crabapple flower fall to the ground, and raised her foot to run over the pistil.
The splashing flower juice looks like flowing tears.
The woman walked over without any hesitation, put down the scissors, washed her hands with clean water, and looked down at her reflection in the water.
"Then you can help them a little more, add fuel to the fire and speed them up."
Shadow didn't understand what was going on and asked, "What do you mean?"
"How can Mudi go crazy alone?" The woman whispered softly, ignoring the reflection of the water she had broken, and whispered like a best lover: "It's better for two of us to go crazy together."
