Chapter 430 Protagonist Halo

"What letter? Isn't it a suicide note?" Zhang Binbin asked.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and his whole body was trembling slightly. He was simply answering Song Lingge's questions without thinking at all.

Xia Jiaojiao's death was a huge blow to him.

Song Lingge sighed and said slowly, "It wasn't a suicide note, and I didn't see what it said. Director Xia said the letter contained some complaints about their parents, but there was no sense of resentment towards life or a desire to commit suicide."

After listening, Zhang Binbin clenched his fist and hit his head, crying, "I told you she wasn't that fragile, she wasn't the kind of person who would threaten suicide, sob sob... It's all my fault, I should have stayed with her then, even if she had gotten angry and killed me, I wouldn't have left. Sob sob..."

The psychological trauma caused by Xia Jiaojiao's death was no less than that caused by Xia's parents.

Zhang Binbin genuinely liked Xia Jiaojiao, and he knew he wasn't being honest and shouldn't have taken advantage of her. But that day in the Deyun Building's restroom, when Xia Jiaojiao took the initiative to pounce on him, his mind went completely blank.

He couldn't accept Xia Jiaojiao being with Qiao Nansheng. Even if Xia Jiaojiao hated him to death after she woke up, he was willing to endure all the hardships for that moment.

After the incident, he tried to make amends, but what he received was the devastating news of Xia Jiaojiao's passing.

He couldn't accept that Xia Jiaojiao committed suicide because she was with him. For him, this was a fatal wound, an unhealable scar that kept bleeding and causing him constant, salty pain.

Now, upon suddenly hearing that Xia Jiaojiao might have been murdered, he was overcome with emotion, for Xia Jiaojiao's sake, and for his own.

It took a long time for Zhang Binbin to calm down.

"Tell me what exactly happened. Has anyone had any doubts?"

“It’ll take a while to get back, so I’ll tell you as I drive, otherwise we’ll get back too late. But you’re not allowed to get excited or distract me while I’m driving.”

Zhang Binbin's grip was too strong; Song Lingge had to make a three-point agreement with him first.

She didn't want to lose her life because of someone else's problems.

Zhang Binbin wiped his nose: "Okay, I'm feeling better now."

Song Lingge then started the car again. To be honest, she was a little scared to have come all this way to pick up such a dangerous person.

"You should know Director Xia. He would take the initiative to contact me, which means he must have cleared me of suspicion. So you don't need to doubt me."

"Yes!" Zhang Binbin nodded again, albeit with difficulty.

After crying, his rationality returned, and he understood why Song Lingge knew about this before him. It must be because Xia Mingyuan had concrete evidence to prove that Song Lingge was not involved in Xia Jiaojiao's death.

Otherwise, given the life-or-death feud between Song Lingge and Xia Jiaojiao, it wouldn't be so easy to clear the prime suspect.

At the same time, he felt sorry for himself. It turned out that his one-sided affection had not only failed to move Xia Jiaojiao, but even her family had not believed him.

How pathetic and pitiful he is!

“He said he checked everyone who was at Deyunlou that day but found no clues. That’s why he put aside past grievances and took the initiative to find me.”

After Song Lingge finished speaking, she stopped talking.

Zhang Binbin pondered for a moment before hesitantly speaking, "Because I didn't tell him that Fang Guanghua was also present, so I didn't investigate him, right?"

"That seems to be the case at present. Only Fang Guanghua has not yet been investigated."

"But Fang Guanghua and Jiaojiao didn't have any grudges. Their relationship was just a little better than that of ordinary classmates."

"Why don't you tell me in detail what happened before and after that day? You can also think back carefully and see if you've missed any details."

Zhang Binbin nodded. Whether Xia Jiaojiao was alive or dead, he remained as concerned about her affairs as ever.

"Fang Guanghua told me about your dinner at Deyunlou Restaurant. I asked Jiaojiao about it, but she was vague. I was curious, so I asked Fang Guanghua to come with me. We observed you from the private room opposite yours that day."

"Yes, I know all that. And then what?"

Zhang Binbin became embarrassed, but not wanting to miss any details, he patiently said, "I saw Jiaojiao and Qiao Nansheng come out together, so I followed them. Qiao Nansheng went to the men's restroom, and Jiaojiao put a sign that said she was cleaning at the door. After putting it down, she went to the women's restroom."

These match Song Lingge's memories.

"I felt something was off, so I went to the men's restroom and almost bumped into Qiao Nansheng. He relieved himself way too quickly, you should be careful." Zhang Binbin glanced thoughtfully at Song Lingge.

Song Lingge rolled her eyes without any politeness.

What kind of time is this to be talking about outer space?

"You know what happened next. Then, not long after I went in, Jiaojiao came in."

"You were both sober, how could something like that have happened?" Song Lingge asked, a question that had puzzled her for a long time.

Zhang Binbin hesitated for a long time before finally squeezing out the words through gritted teeth: "Jiaojiao took her medicine, she was very crazy, very enthusiastic, and then..."

It turns out that this is the truth.

Song Lingge broke out in a cold sweat.

She remembered that day; it was Xia Jiaojiao who first asked her to go to the bathroom together. Xia Jiaojiao's initial intention was probably to drug her, but she didn't go, which is why she escaped unharmed.

I never expected Xia Jiaojiao to be so ruthless. When she couldn't drug her, she drugged herself instead.

It was probably a coincidence that she had this idea. Qiao Nansheng happened to be going to the restroom at that time, and since she couldn't let Song Lingge be embarrassed, she let Qiao Nansheng and her have sex.

It was all so interconnected. The fact that Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng didn't get into trouble that day would be considered a protagonist's halo in a novel.

"Focus on what happened after you left Deyunlou. Was there anything related to Xia Jiaojiao or Fang Guanghua?"

Zhang Binbin nodded and continued to recall: "When I left Deyunlou, I didn't pay attention to Fang Guanghua."

If Zhang Binbin could still remember Fang Guanghua during such an embarrassing moment, then it must be true love without a doubt.

“I remember that after you ran out that day, he left very quickly,” Song Lingge said.

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Fang Guanghua shouldn't be a suspect either."

Unwilling to give up, Song Lingge continued to press, "Did you contact Fang Guanghua afterward? Think back carefully. When was the first time you contacted each other after that incident?"

Song Lingge was very serious, and Zhang Binbin also wanted to find out the truth, so he carefully recalled the events.

"When I got home, I was both excited and scared. I couldn't sleep until very late that night, so I got up and made a phone call."

"For whom?"

"Fang Guanghua".

"Screech—screech—" Song Lingge slammed on the brakes.
