Chapter 110 He had already seen the truth

Chapter 110 He had already seen the truth

The discussion about Jiang Chuan's acting skills lasted for a while, but it quickly shifted to other topics.

Lin Ci looked at Jiang Chuan, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said:
"Jiang Chuan, there's still something I haven't figured out."

Lin Ci asked Jiang Chuan, "Why did you decide to act in this play back then?"

Upon hearing this question, everyone's gaze turned to Jiang Chuan.

The incident happened so suddenly that they didn't have time to think it through. Now that the case is closed, it's only natural that they need to ask about it.

At this moment, Ai Zhe spoke up, answering on Jiang Chuan's behalf:

"Of course it's because of that girl!"

"Is not it?"

Jiang Chuan nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Ai Zhe laughed heartily: "I knew it."

He continued, following his own train of thought: "At that time, Zhang Bowen tried to control Jiang Chuan, but he failed."

"In that moment of pause, Jiang Chuan thought and made a decision to turn the tables on them."

"In this way, we both protected the girl and successfully killed Zhang Bowen... killing two birds with one stone!"

After finishing speaking, Ai Zhe looked at everyone with a hint of smugness.

But he found that everyone was still thinking, frowning as they looked at Jiang Chuan, waiting for his answer.

Ai Zhe asked, somewhat puzzled, "What? Am I wrong?"

"Doing this at the time was definitely the most prudent choice."

"anymore question?"

“Zhang Bowen’s methods are unknown, and his mental control over Jiang Chuan clearly indicates that he anticipated our actions.”

"Isn't this girl just Zhang Bowen's shield?"

"Given that we don't know if Zhang Bowen has any other tricks up his sleeve, the top priority should be to avoid further casualties!"

The logic is clear, and the cause-and-effect relationship is explicit.

Everything seemed to be going so smoothly.

After Ai Zhe finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and, to make sure everything was in order, looked at Lin Ci again:

"Lin Ci, you said you don't understand... what is it that you don't understand?"

Lin Ci said, "What I don't understand the most is why Jiang Chuan attacked Li Yi."

Hearing this, Ai Zhe was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately added, "Of course it's because I'm being controlled!"

After saying that, he immediately emphasized, "He has to pretend to be controlled, doesn't he?"

"Although Jiang Chuan was not under control, he had to do those things to make Zhang Bowen lower his guard so that the next rescue operation could take place."

Lin Ci nodded and said, "That's right."

"But what are Zhang Bowen's reasons for doing this?"

Upon hearing this question, Ai Zhe was taken aback.

Lin Ci added, "If Zhang Bowen had been faced with two utterly ordinary electricians, would he have killed one so easily?"

Ai Zhe was stunned, somewhat dazed.

He suddenly realized that this was a huge loophole, that he had been missing Zhang Bowen's motives from his own perspective.

But just when he realized there was indeed a problem, Aizhe immediately found another reason:

"Of course, it's because Zhang Bowen is a scholar of fortune telling!"

"Because of his abilities! He was able to foresee the potential danger, wasn't he?"

"..."

"A sudden power outage when there is a known danger."

"Two strangers suddenly appearing at your door... it's only natural to be wary!"

Lin Ci wanted to say something more, but Jiang Chuan interrupted their conversation: "Let's talk about these things on the way back."

After saying that, Yue Wen opened the door of the van.

He appeared before everyone with the girl.

The girl's face was covered in tears, and she was still sobbing; she looked extremely distressed.

The discussion that everyone had just been holding came to an abrupt halt.

Yue Wen said, "This child might have mental health issues. Let's take her back to the medical station and treat her for a while before making any further decisions."

The girl sat down next to Li Yi.

She remained silent.

Li Yi was still at a loss, so she comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, Linlin."

"It will be fine."

The little girl named Xu Linlin raised her arm to wipe away her tears and nodded, but her body was still twitching because she had cried so hard.

She asked Li Yi, "Sister...where are we going?"

"Are you... all... good people?"

Before Li Yi could speak, Jiang Chuan interrupted her.

Jiang Chuan smiled and said:
"Of course they are all good people."

"You should sleep quietly for a while, we'll be there soon."

"rest assured."

"You'll be able to return to a normal life soon."

Xu Linlin looked at Jiang Chuan, nodded silently, and did not speak again.

Although her body was still trembling, she had stopped crying and, seemingly exhausted, quickly fell asleep.

No one in the car spoke again.

Unlike the previous laughter and chatter, everyone fell silent.

Ai Zhe was trying to figure out what was wrong with Lin Ci.

Lin Ci was wondering where Jiang Chuan had discovered the problem.

Li Yi felt that Jiang Chuan's interruption just now had a deeper meaning.

Liang Cheng looked completely puzzled.

Even Yue Wen remained silent with a solemn expression.

As for Jiangchuan...

He has already made many things clear.

However, only three core issues remain unresolved in this entire case.

He looked out the window at the night view of Qing City, his pupils reflecting the colors of the neon lights, which appeared somewhat pale.

The car traveled silently for about half an hour, and the journey was still long, but at this moment Xu Linlin woke up.

Or rather, she certainly wasn't asleep.

She didn't speak, but looked out the window, lost in thought.

Xu Linlin stopped crying and her body stopped trembling. She stared out the window, somewhat lost in thought.

The car remained silent for half an hour before Xu Linlin finally broke the silence.

She leaned against the car window and said with delight:

"here!"

She pointed to a residential area on the side of the road outside the window:
"I remembered!"

“This is my home!”

She seemed very happy, but that happiness quickly faded.

She asked cautiously:

"Can... we postpone going to the hospital?"

Can I go home and visit my family?

Yue Wen looked at Jiang Chuan through the rearview mirror.

Jiang Chuan nodded.

Li Yi noticed Jiang Chuan nodding and found it a little strange, but she still asked, "Where do you live?"

She gave a very precise address: "Chongshan Huafu, Building 12, Unit 4, Room 1503".

Indeed, the van had just passed by the neighborhood she mentioned.

After Xu Linlin gave the name, Yue Wen found a place to turn around and entered the residential area.

There are too many cars in the community, and there is simply nowhere to park.

Yue Wen said:

"Jiang Chuan, why don't you accompany this girl upstairs to take a look?"

"We'll wait for you outside the residential area."

Xu Linlin asked softly, "Isn't it my older sister?"

Before Li Yi could speak, Jiang Chuan interrupted and said:
"My sister is tired."

"Let your brother stay with you."

Xu Linlin was clearly somewhat resistant, but ultimately she nodded.

She also knows that she has no choice now.

Soon, the car arrived at the building where they were going, and only Jiang Chuan and Xu Linlin got out.

The two men, one tall and one short, stood at the entrance of Unit 4, Building 12. Their shadows were stretched long by the light shining from inside the unit. It was already 11 p.m., and the entire community was completely quiet, with only the buzzing of the van's engine behind them.

Behind him, Yue Wen rolled down the car window and instructed Jiang Chuan:

"I'll wait for you outside the residential area."

"Hurry up, it's getting late."

Jiang Chuan turned around, nodded, and watched the van drive away.

After the van drove away, Xu Linlin also walked to the entrance of the building, but because of her height, she could not reach the button on the door.

Jiang Chuan picked her up and watched as Xu Linlin entered the password for the unit's security door.

The two took the elevator together and arrived at the 15th floor. She found the door of apartment 1503 with ease, pressed the fingerprint lock, and the door opened with a hum.

The room was pitch black.

Xu Linlin turned on the light, stood in the living room, and looked around.

Her eyes revealed a lot of emotions, and soon her eyes reddened.

Jiang Chuan wasn't idle either. He looked around the two-bedroom apartment and found that no one had lived there for a long time, and the tables, chairs, and benches were covered with a layer of dust.

Then, his gaze fell on Xu Linlin again.

I watched her turn on all the lights, watched her fingers leave marks on the dust on the table and stove, watched her sit on the sofa, lie on the bed, and go into the bathroom, and watched her occasionally reveal a smile.

He watched as she finally looked at him.

Xu Linlin asked Jiang Chuan, "Why haven't you made a move yet?"

Jiang Chuan said, "I want to see when you, this villain, will finally stop pretending."

Xu Linlin was taken aback for a moment, but immediately smiled calmly:

"Yes."

"It is indeed very vicious."

"But all I want is to survive."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes.

The shattered puzzle in his mind was pieced back together.

Now, he only has two questions left.

However, the overall context of everything Xu Linlin and Zhang Bowen did has been clarified.

At this moment, Xu Linlin paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Chuan with a hint of curiosity in her eyes:

"Your name is Jiang Chuan... right?"

When did you figure it out?

Jiang Chuan calmly gave his answer:

"From the beginning."

……

Outside the gate of the residential compound.

Everyone got off the bus.

Yue Wen had just lit a cigarette when Ai Zhe couldn't wait to ask questions:
"what is going on?"

"Shouldn't this girl be sent to the police station and returned to her parents?"

"Why are we sending him to the medical station again?"

"What exactly is wrong with her? Brother Yue, what did Jiang Chuan say to you?"

Yue Wen replied, "I don't know."

"Jiang Chuan just told me to bring her into the car."

"You'll have to ask him for the specifics."

Lin Ci immediately asked, "Did Jiang Chuan get in the car just now to talk to you about this?"

Yue Wen nodded: "Yes."

Liang Cheng frowned and said, "It seems that girl really does have a problem..."

Aizhe was completely baffled. He scratched his head and said in a somewhat frantic tone:
"What exactly is wrong?!"

"How exactly did Jiang Chuan figure that out?"

"Isn't he bound to make a mistake?"

"Didn't I say that in the car just now?"

"Zhang Bowen is a fortune teller certified by headquarters!"

"He calculated his own divination results; he mentioned 'bloodshed' when he confronted Jiang Chuan!"

"It's possible that he could manipulate Jiang Chuan to attack Li Yi!!"

"If that girl had a problem, why didn't she make a move in the car just now?"

"Lin Ci, tell me, what exactly do you mean!"

"I really can't understand it!"

The topic that was just interrupted has been brought up again.

Lin Ci also remembered the explanation that Jiang Chuan had interrupted her at that time, which she hadn't had a chance to give.

He looked at Aizhe and said seriously:
"You should know."

"..."

"The diviner should not calculate for himself."

Upon hearing this, Ai Zhe was suddenly stunned. It was as if a flash of lightning had struck his mind.

"The diviner cannot calculate for himself..."

"There's no one else in the villa..."

"That bloodshed Zhang Bowen mentioned... was it... what was that girl's name again? Was she the one who predicted it for him!?"

"Lin Ci..."

"You figured it out a long time ago too?"

Lin Ci pondered for a moment, then said, "I probably didn't discover it as early as Jiang Chuan."

Ai Zhe then understood why Lin Ci had asked Jiang Chuan that question.

Why did you decide to put on this play?
Why choose to attack Li Yi?
"If Jiang Chuan knew that girl had a problem, then there was no need for him to act in the first place!"

"Zhang Bowen and that girl are in cahoots! Brother Yue, just shoot them both!"

"If Jiang Chuan could see through it, there would be no reason for him to take action against Li Yi!"

Why did he do that?!

He looked at Li Yi, and Li Yi shook her head.

Following this line of thought, Aizhe discovered a new blind spot:
"If you and Jiang Chuan discovered that there was something wrong with that girl, why didn't you say anything?"

"besides……"

"Since Jiang Chuan suspected that girl even before you did, why didn't he take action after killing Zhang Bowen?"

"Where did he go upstairs with that girl this time?"

"..."

"What on earth is he doing?!"

Lin Ci shook his head: "I don't know."

"I didn't say it because Jiang Chuan didn't say it."

He turned his head and looked at the building not far away.

He squinted and said:

"These answers will all have to wait until Jiang Chuan has finished doing what he wants to do..."

"Only then can we learn the whole truth."

Everyone was silent for a long time.

But at this moment, Liang Cheng suddenly realized something. He looked at Li Yi and asked:
"What was that girl's name again?"

Li Yi calmly tried to speak, but the words caught in her throat.

She frowned, then shook her head helplessly:

"I...forgot."

Upon hearing this, everyone standing by the car, including Yue Wen, had their expressions change simultaneously.

I don't know when it started...

For that little girl, they had already started using only pronouns instead of her name.

And how long has it been?
Based on the intelligence they had previously gathered, they were now fully aware of why they had forgotten the name.

This is because the causal link between that girl and them has been severed.

"No wonder."

"We should have noticed it sooner..."

Lin Ci sighed:

Why did this unexpected turn occur in the assassination plan?

"How could the police possibly miss a single living person?"

"..."

"They've all forgotten about her."
