Chapter 218: Chapter 218 - There’s A Homicide Here
Yun Xiangxiang felt relaxed like she had never before during her short getaway in the mountains . After a meal of authentic vegetarian dishes, they went back to the resort at the base . Song Mian had arranged an onsen for her .
“What about you?” Yun Xiangxiang recalled that the manager mentioning this onsen was reserved for Song Mian when they were brought in .
“I’ll go in after you are done,” Song Mian laughed quietly . “Does my girlfriend want to bathe with me?”
“Come in if you dare,” Yun Xiangxiang held a bucket of water at him . “Let’s see who’s going to be burnt in the end . ”
Song Mian gazed deeply at Yun Xiangxiang . Ever since she knew he promised her father, the young lady started becoming fearless .
He made a note of this . Sooner or later she would have to pay them back .
Yun Xiangxiang smirked as she saw Song Mian leaving . There was a floating platform on the onsen . On it were some glasses .
Yun Xiangxiang was in the onsen only for half an hour before she got up . Song Mian took her to her room and let her rest .
She wanted to lounge around after being in the onsen . After drying her hair, she went to bed and slept .
Song Mian saw her sleeping soundly when he returned to the bedroom . Her face which was full of collagen made it look as smooth as peeled eggs .
After straightening himself, Song Mian gently lay beside Yun Xiangxiang and embraced her . Her fragrance swirled around him .
Song Mian had already gone away when Yun Xiangxiang woke up . If it were not for the traces on the blanket, Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t know Song Mian took advantage of her again . She slept too deeply after that onsen session, but woke up feeling energetic .
“The buffet is almost ready . Their buffet here is decent,” Song Mian reminded Yun Xiangxiang when he noticed her being awake .
Yun Xiangxiang immediately got out of bed, washed up, and dressed up . She even meticulously added the couple of moles on her face .
Not only were there a huge variety of dishes, there was also ice cream . Yun Xiangxiang wanted to have some . She looked quietly at Song Mian .
Song Mian couldn’t deny her puppy eyes . He scooped one scoop for her, “You can only have one of this . ”
He then took many slices of cake, “But you can have more of this . ”
Yun Xiangxiang accepted it grudgingly . There were a lot of customers at this time . Yun Xiangxiang and Song Mian chose a quiet spot to sit down .
“Will we stay here for the night or go home?” Yun Xiangxiang asked with a mouthful of food .
“We will go home . It’s just about an hour’s drive,” Song Mian wasn’t someone who liked to stay the night at hotels or unfamiliar places .
Yun Xiangxiang was fine with either way . She was already used to it, being in this industry . She could even sleep on a chair when she was busy, let alone a bed .
A commotion suddenly erupted as they were having dinner . A woman cried, “Call 120 . Quick, call 120!”
Song Mian put down his chopsticks before standing up and going into the crowd, “I’m a doctor, let me take a look . ”
The crowd made way for him when they heard the word “doctor . ” Yun Xiangxiang followed Song Mian to the forefront of the crowd . What greeted them was a mother in her thirties crying helplessly while hugging a spasming child who was seven or eight .
There were already people calling 120 around them . Song Mian strode to the child . He bent down and checked the child’s pulse .
He then took a look at his papillae . Song Mian took out a thin, delicate box from his shirt pocket . When opened, rows of needles were revealed . He took out a silver needle and locked on to the child’s acupoints sharply . He didn’t hesitate when applying the needle on the child .
After a few needled, the child slowly stopped spasming . Song Mian checked the child’s pulse again, noticing the child’s raging pulse slowly becoming stable .
Song Mian only took out the needles when the child’s temperature recovered . “Did you child go through something earlier?”
The mother calmed down when she noticed her child’s condition had turned for the better . She shook her head . “I left him here and went to take some food for him . When I came back, he was already spasming there . ”
Song Mian felt suspicious . He scanned through the place before locking on the spot the child fell . He walked over and looked where the child looked .
The sun hadn’t set completely yet . The branches were swaying with the night breeze . Nothing seemed to be off . He squatted a little, probably trying to get the child’s viewpoint . He kicked something .
Lowering his head, he found a mini telescope . Song Mian had an idea . He picked up the telescope and looked at the slope across him .
“Call the cops . There’s a homicide here,” he gravely told the person in charge who came running .
Everyone turned ashen . The mother asked about her son, “Doctor, is my child fine?”
“He’s fine . He convulsed because of shock . Take him to a hospital for checkup later and follow the doctor’s orders,” Song Mian was patient with his patients and their family .
Having said that, he took Yun Xiangxiang and left the restaurant . They exited the resort and went to the back of it .
Song Mian didn’t go closer after they could faintly smell the scent of blood . From Yun Xiangxiang’s angle, a black silhouette could be seen on the ground fifty meters away . She subconsciously grabbed Song Mian’s shirt .
She might be an actress and played in a lot of scenes involving homicides, but those were all fake . Any ordinary person would feel unsettled when they come across an actual homicide . Besides, it was obvious that it was a fresh murder .
The child must have seen how the murder went . He wouldn’t be shocked if he didn’t .
The murderer might even be nearby . People who could kill were not your average Joe .
Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t see the deceased’s wounds with how far they were . But judging by how strong the scent of blood was, it must not be shallow .
Knowing that a murder happened, the cops came swiftly and cordoned off the place . The forensic department came soon after .
The person in charge asked about the whole incident . When he knew the homicide was found so swiftly thanks to a doctor who treated the convulsing child who was shocked from the things he saw through the telescope, he let them off after taking their testimonies .
“Let’s go home early, okay?” Song Mian could feel Yun Xiangxiang’s nervousness .
Yun Xiangxiang was no coward . But she was just an ordinary person when it came to this . She had never seen a murder before, nor had she been in many life-or-death situations . The assassination back in New York already scared her out of her wits . This time, she came across a homicide herself .
“I want to stay and see the end of this,” Yun Xiangxiang shook her head . This murder was found out too quickly . The murderer must not be far .
Just like what Yun Xiangxiang guessed, the murderer didn’t run too far . He also exposed himself because it was his first time committing homicide . There was only one path leading out the mountains . Anyone going out would be thoroughly checked, so he was quickly arrested .
Yun Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief when she knew the murderer was caught . It was barely nine o’clock, but Song Mian still decided to drive home .
On the next day, Yun Xiangxiang found out the murder happened because of money problems . The victim owed the murderer money .
The man killed because he lost his cool at the smug attitude of the victim who refused to pay him back .
