Seeing Crime Scenes in My Sleep

Yuan Zegang coughed twice. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned to see a police officer and their badge right beside him.

’How... am I at the police station?’

Seeing Yuan Zegang was awake, Zhao Shuo’s expression immediately hardened, and he fixed him with a cold, stern gaze.

"Yuan Zegang, you are suspected of intentional homicide..."

"So what? They deserved to die. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be old and all alone now."

Yuan Zegang scoffed. He had no family and no friends, so what the hell did he have to fear? His only regret was that he hadn’t struck sooner last night.

’I should have made those two beasts experience my suffering.’

"Yuan Zegang, back then, you weren’t resolute enough. You were the one who sent your son away."

Yuan Zegang refused to admit it. "If they hadn’t kept pressuring me, how could I have possibly sent my only son away!"

"Brother Zhao, Yuan Zegang’s ex-wife is here." An officer knocked on the door.

Yuan Zegang froze. ’Why is she here?’

"Keep an eye on him," Zhao Shuo said before turning to leave.

A haggard woman sat in a chair, clutching a paper cup that trembled slightly in her hands.

"Her name is Guan Qiaowei. We found her number in Yuan Zegang’s phone and contacted her.

She rushed right over as soon as she heard."

Zhao Shuo nodded and stepped forward. "Hello, Ms. Guan. Please come this way with me."

Zhao Shuo led Guan Qiaowei to another interrogation room.

"Ms. Guan, what can you tell me about Yuan Zegang?"

A look of pure hatred crossed Guan Qiaowei’s face, and she spat on the floor. "Pah! That monster is worse than a pig or a dog. He should’ve been dead long ago."

"It’s not like I didn’t try to file a report back then, but they just kept delaying and delaying..."

Guan Qiaowei, overcome with emotion, took a few deep breaths before looking at him. "Yuan Zegang murdered my son. Officer, you absolutely cannot let that scumbag get away.

I’m begging you."

As she spoke, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face, and she gripped Zhao Shuo’s hand tightly.

Zhao Shuo calmly tried to soothe her, his expression unchanged.

"Ms. Guan, please try to calm down. Take your time. No one is going to rush you here."

Looking at the expression on Zhao Shuo’s face, Guan Qiaowei gradually calmed down and finished the cup of warm water in her hand.

"Yuan Zegang and I met in Lu County. Back then, I was a dishwasher at a small restaurant, and he did odd jobs like plastering walls and mixing sand for people.

Life was poor, but it was fulfilling enough. Later on, I got pregnant and had a son.

Two years ago, my son had just turned three. One day, Yuan Zegang came home with red eyes and didn’t say a word.

Later, I found out someone had given him 300,000 yuan... to get him... to get him...

I refused, and we had a huge fight. I never expected that Yuan Zegang would pretend to agree, only to take our son away while I wasn’t home.

By the time I found out, it was too late. Afterward, those people claimed it was an accident and refused to take any responsibility. So I divorced him."

Zhao Shuo listened with a grave expression. ’If Yuan Zegang were truly a good father, how could he have agreed to such an absurd proposition?’

"Ms. Guan, rest assured, we will pursue this matter to the very end.

You should also hire a lawyer. You might be able to fight for some compensation."

Zhao Shuo left it at that.

"Okay, okay. Thank you. I understand." Guan Qiaowei wiped her eyes, a happy expression on her face. Her persistence over the years had not been in vain.

Guan Qiaowei contacted a lawyer the moment she left the police station.

After waking up, Miao Anji just had to give a statement before he could leave with Jiang Li.

Tan Qing stared at their departing figures in confusion. "That Jiang Li isn’t even one of our officers.

Why does Captain Zhao let her tag along? Isn’t he afraid she’ll leak confidential information?"

Tang Wen, who was tidying up some documents, paused for a moment. He then continued without a word, turning away to mind his own business.

"Hey, Tang Wen! Didn’t we agree to help each other? Why are you ignoring me?!"

Tan Qing watched Tang Wen turn and walk away, stomping her foot in frustration. As nearby gazes turned toward her, she had no choice but to obediently sit back down.

’If I get caught slacking off again, I’ll really fail my internship.’

When Jiang Li led Miao Anji out of the station, she saw his listless expression and assumed he was still drowsy.

Just as she was about to ask, Miao Anji suddenly snapped to attention.

He warily grabbed her hand and scanned their surroundings.

Jiang Li immediately grew vigilant as well.

Shi Xingchao scrambled out of a car. He watched as the two of them walked past him, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Officer! My daughter is gone! You have to help me!"

Shi Xingchao rushed inside and grabbed Tan Qing’s hand, his face etched with anxiety.

"Hello, sir, please come this way." Tan Qing led Shi Xingchao aside.

Jiang Li and Miao Anji glanced back.

"Xiao Ji, what is it?"

Miao Anji’s eyes shifted. "The aura on him... it’s stirring up the worms."

Just by walking past him, all of my worms became excited.

Hearing Miao Anji’s words, Jiang Li grew warier. ’What kind of good thing could possibly excite a Gu Worm?’

"Sister, let’s go check it out." Miao Anji grabbed Jiang Li’s hand and headed back into the police station.

Shi Xingchao watched the two of them return, the corner of his mouth hooking into a slight smile. The questioning in front of him came to an abrupt halt as Tan Qing looked past him at the newcomers with jealousy and resentment.

Shi Xingchao lowered his head, twisting the ring on his finger with great interest. ’Looks like this trip wasn’t a waste after all.’

"Tan Qing, what are you doing!" Tang Wen, seeing she was distracted, immediately snapped her back to attention.

"It’s nothing. Your eyes... they look a lot like my daughter’s," Shi Xingchao said, offering a comforting compliment.

Tan Qing’s panic instantly dissipated. "You seem very kind and approachable as well. It was my fault for getting distracted. I’m sorry, let’s continue."

Tang Wen frowned. ’In our line of work, if you’re too nice, people will take advantage of you. Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.’
