Seeing Crime Scenes in My Sleep

"Mmmph, mmmph..." Liu Xuyan shook her head helplessly, hot tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Li watched this scene, and anger surged within her.

Liu Xuyan’s tears wouldn’t stop falling. This life, where she couldn’t properly live but also couldn’t die, was sheer torture for her.

She didn’t even have the strength to die.

She closed her eyes in despair. Suddenly, a CLATTERING sound rang out from behind her. She opened her eyes, trembling, and was stunned by the scene before her.

The person who had just been so vicious was now stabbing their own asshole like a madman.

"Ah!" The person let out a woman-like shriek, then clapped a hand over their mouth in terror and fled in a panic.

Liu Xuyan lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move an inch. ’Was that voice... a woman’s?’

Liu Xuyan stared blankly ahead. For the past three months, she had been violated every night, but she had no idea who the assailant was.

Liu Xuyan’s mouth hung open, a chill seeping into her frail body. She closed her eyes. ’If I could just die like this, that would be for the best.’

As her consciousness began to fade, she saw a figure running toward her.

The next time Liu Xuyan opened her eyes, she was in a hospital.

Cao Yan and Liu Yan never imagined the perpetrator would be so brazen. If Jiang Li hadn’t found her in time, Liu Xuyan would have died.

Jiang Li looked at Liu Xuyan, who was slowly waking up in the hospital bed, and recalled what the doctor had said.

Liu Xuyan’s health was already poor. Now, pregnant and drained by the child in her belly, the situation would certainly lead to the death of both mother and child.

"Miss Liu, I believe you can hear me. What I’m about to say is very important."

Hearing the voice, Liu Xuyan moved her eyes and looked at the familiar person by her bedside. The aversion in her heart lessened.

’If it weren’t for them, Mom and Dad definitely wouldn’t have called the police.’

Jiang Li continued, "About the child in your womb... do you want to keep it or not?"

As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, Liu Xuyan became extremely agitated. She opened her mouth but couldn’t form a complete sentence.

"If you want to keep it, move your left hand. If you don’t, move your right."

The moment Jiang Li spoke, she clearly saw Liu Xuyan’s right finger move.

’How could she possibly give birth to a rapist’s child!’

Jiang Li turned to the doctor and her parents. "Miss Liu doesn’t want this child. Can it be aborted?"

Before she could get an answer, a police officer who had just arrived interjected, "Wait. This child could be an important clue."

"We’ve verified that all the servants in the Liu Family home are female. Miss Liu can have an amniocentesis done later. This would allow us to more accurately identify the rapist."

"The best time for an amniocentesis is at four months. She’s already three months along. If the fetus gets bigger, it will be even harder to perform an abortion."

"It would also be bad for Miss Liu’s health," the doctor beside them added, looking at the police officer disapprovingly.

If she were a normal, healthy person, it might be fine, but Liu Xuyan’s body was already weak. By then, it could very well lead to the death of both mother and child.

Jiang Li thought of the voice from last night. She looked up at the police officer. "Three days. Stall for three days. If you haven’t caught the suspect in three days, it won’t be too late to decide then."

Having lost her own sense of judgment, Cao Yan latched onto Jiang Li’s words and nodded in agreement. "Yes, three days. We’ll figure something out after three days."

The police officer fixed his gaze on Jiang Li. "And who are you?"

"A concerned citizen," Jiang Li replied, looking back at Liu Xuyan.

Liu Xuyan’s tense expression relaxed. She looked at Jiang Li and moved her right finger, indicating her agreement.

The officer frowned at her for a moment, then turned to consult with another officer.

The Liu Family was influential in this area. The people sent to handle the case were all sharp and competent.

Jiang Li looked down at Liu Xuyan, who was still watching her, and gave her a reassuring smile. "Don’t worry. He won’t get away."

Liu Xuyan opened her mouth, and Jiang Li understood what she meant to say.

"Captain Cheng, that’s her." The officer from before went out and returned with another person.

Jiang Li looked up, her eyes as calm as still water.

Cheng Xiangyu looked at the woman before him. "If Mr. and Mrs. Liu have no objections, we are willing to cooperate."

Cao Yan and Liu Yan exchanged a glance and nodded. "We agree."

If the culprit could be found within three days, it would be a good thing for all of them.

Cheng Xiangyu nodded and walked toward Jiang Li. "Hello, I’m Cheng Xiangyu, and I’m in charge of this case."

"Hello, Jiang Li."

Cheng Xiangyu then looked at Wu Ming beside her.

Wu Ming quickly extended her hand. "Hello, I’m Wu Ming."

Cheng Xiangyu nodded and focused on the case at hand.

"Miss Jiang, Miss Wu, regarding Miss Liu’s case, do you have any leads or ideas you can share with us?"

Jiang Li looked at Cheng Xiangyu. "The person is likely still in the Liu Family home. And... his... his ass is probably sore."

After saying this, Jiang Li looked away, a slightly unnatural expression on her face.

Cheng Xiangyu frowned in confusion, but he still told the officers behind him to go investigate.

After all, if anything went wrong with this three-day deadline, they wouldn’t be the ones taking the blame.

Seeing that Cheng Xiangyu was willing to cooperate, Jiang Li began to relax.

"Mrs. Liu, I suspect the culprit got in by dressing as a woman."

Cao Yan thought about it and didn’t rule out the possibility, but...

"But during the New Year, to treat everyone, I took them all to a hot spring. If someone were a man dressed as a woman, they should have been discovered then."

Cheng Xiangyu’s eyes flickered. "There’s another possibility: intersex."

As Cheng Xiangyu said this, he cast an imperceptible glance at Liu Yan.

In fact, their number one suspect was Liu Yan. They had already checked the Liu Family’s maids and caregivers; their female characteristics were obvious.

Liu Xuyan couldn’t have gone out, so Liu Yan was the most likely suspect.

"Mrs. Liu, Miss Liu is a patient. Why is there no surveillance in her room?"

Cheng Xiangyu looked at Cao Yan. Logically, a camera should have been installed to monitor for emergencies.

Jiang Li and Wu Ming also looked at Cao Yan. If it weren’t for yesterday’s emergency, they would have asked the same question.

Cao Yan glanced at Liu Xuyan, who had fallen asleep, and explained in a low voice, "There was one at first, but I had it removed later."

"The caregiver said that Yanyan was already miserable because of her illness, and being constantly monitored would be detrimental to her recovery."

Cheng Xiangyu nodded. If nothing had happened, that decision would have been perfectly fine.

"Is that caregiver still here?"

"Yes. Her name is Lin Jin. She’s been Yanyan’s caregiver the longest. After she arrived, Yanyan’s condition really did improve a lot."

"If it weren’t for this, we would have been quite happy."

As Cao Yan spoke, her eyes reddened again.

Cheng Xiangyu nodded, said a few words to the colleague beside him, and then turned to Cao Yan.

"Mr. Liu, we’d like to ask you to come with my men. And Mrs. Liu, we also need to make a trip to your house."

"As for Miss Liu, Mrs. Liu, you and our people will stay by her side without leaving."

"Alright." Liu Yan nodded, remaining completely cooperative.

Liu Yan was taken away for questioning.

Cheng Xiangyu asked Jiang Li and Wu Ming to accompany him to the Liu family home.

Just as Jiang Li stepped into the elevator, the overwhelming stench of alcohol filled the space.

"HIC—Well now, two... two little beauties~"
