Evidently, Chen Yekai hadn't been aware of this, so it came as a sudden shock to him. Zhou Sheng asked, "What else did you talk about in the flower café that afternoon?"

Chen Yekai, "That......"

Zhou Sheng, "Has Liang Jinmin been a victim of long-term domestic violence? And she wanted a divorce? So she wanted to collect some evidence, and approached you to expose that scum?"

Yu Hao, "......"

Zhou Sheng, "A few days after Lin Xun heard your conversation through his monitoring, he continued to beat Liang Jinmin, and on the night of the 30th, he was prepared to kill her so that she wouldn't be able to reveal anything. That was why he planned a car accident......"

Chen Yekai, "That's what Huang Ting and I suspected! But we have no evidence!"

Zhou Sheng, "How could Liang Jinmin not use a seat belt?"

"Yeah!" Yu Hao said, "I've been in that car, if you don't fasten your seat belt the alarm will go off!" (.....why did this sound so cute to me lmfao)

Zhou Sheng began speaking at the pace of a machine gun, "He most likely struck Liang Jinmin unconscious at home, or drugged her before moving her into the car. After he inserted the seat belt buckle, he got on the expressway, then with one "bang", the deed was done. Have you seen the CCTV?"

"There's no surveillance!" Chen Yekai practically shouted, "The building he lives in is located in a new residential area that the college just built; the garages there are all separate!"

"That's it then." Zhou Sheng said, "I'm no longer curious about what the two of you talked about. In short, he was afraid that his past actions would get exposed, so he wanted to kill Liang Jinmin in an attempt to silence her. Which means that Liang Jinmin must know quite a lot!"

A deathly still and horrifying silence engulfed the room.

Yu Hao said, "Chen Laoshi, has Lin Xun performed any psychological intervention on you?"

Chen Yekai, "......"

Zhou Sheng swore, then said to Chen Yekai, "It should've been quite often ba. During the days you accompanied your Shimu, the two of you didn't even meet once?"

Chen Yekai said, "I asked him. Afterwards, there was only one time when we actually met and held a conversation, it didn't even last half an hour. It was the first day of the New Year, that night when the two of you came and left."

Yu Hao felt so shocked that he couldn't possibly be stunned any further. That day, they played games with Chen Yekai for a long time in the hospital. Yu Hao had even packed dinner for Chen Yekai after that and saw him kneeling in front of Liang Jinmin's bed as he wept.

Zhou Sheng murmured, "No ba. Kaikai, I remember you saying that you wanted to introduce us to Lin Laoshi that day?"

Chen Yekai said, "At that time, the two of you were just students, and his psychological manipulation of Ryuusei was just Liang Laoshi's conjecture, so that was the only thing I could say. Otherwise, how else was I supposed to phrase it? As a matter of fact, after Liang Laoshi and I met up in the café, Lin Xun behaved as usual, so I started to doubt whether it was Shimu whose emotions weren't very stable...... After the two of you left, that night in the ward, I couldn't help but completely lay everything out on the table to question him. But that day, I still didn't know that he caused the car accident......no, that still remains unconfirmed."

"That's not important." As soon as Zhou Sheng said that, he apologized, "Sorry, Kaikai, what I meant was, that matter is not our top priority. Right now, what we need to make sure of is whether or not you're afraid of him, and how we should deal with him if he appears in your dream."
