Jiang li stood there in the corner, waiting for the cops to come.
She had realised something, her way of approaching the situation was abrupt,
She remembered her previous encounter with wang haotian at this hotel,
--
"Who are you"
Her relentless steps towards him, Covered with this question.
--
She clenched her fist at the thought of her previous tactless enquiry,
What a stupid step!, this flaw is difficult to cover, she thought, self explaining the tireless efforts it would take to cover up her unconsidered statement,
She kept looking at the hotel entrance in hope of a glimpse of cops that would reveal something.
After some more pacing and glanced at entrance, the cops finally arrived, It was the same person who enquired them,
"Does anyone recognise this?" The cop said as another person, who was in the same attire displayed the evidence,
A pen,
Jiang li looked at the pen, recognising it to be one lent by chu mingting,
--
"What are you transferring" She blurted out with the signs of fatigue on her face.
--
At that instant, she was holding this pen given to her,
She knew this pen, but concluding everything that has happened and her current identity, saying anything out of character could be a hassle.
She roamed her eyes around, checking the reactions that had turned into confusion.
Haotian's face was unreadable, his expression was vacant, she kept her eyes focused on him for a moment before placing them on chu mingting,
She was crushing this, her face dripping from the concern for her friend, and at the same time her eyes moving as if they couldn't bottle up the feelings of her.
Jiang li lowered her eyelids, feeling the hypocrisy of her once-known friends. She again looked up to see, but noticed lu yusheng.
His eyes carrying brutal oppression, and before she could conclude anything,
"No one." The head police man said as he signalled with the hand to put down the evidence, and as the order, the cop displaying the pouch which carried the evidence lowered his hand.
"Don't take stress, we will definitely catch the culprit" The superior said,
A hotel staff holding a tray of water bottles stepped forward towards them, only to stand facing Jiang li.
She was standing at the side, the staff brought the tray forward,
Jiang li pushed it back slightly with her hand, and was about to say something,
"Please" The head policeman said interrupting her.
It was a kind of warning, precisely an order masked as a polite request, she understood that and picked up a bottle of water from the tray.
The hotel staff moved forward for another person standing beside her, the girl beside her also did the same,
Picked up the water bottle and drank the water.
Soon everyone got one and drank from it, no one said anything anymore or protested.
The head cop carefully looking at everyone to whom the staff went,
--
That day, when Qin yanli died, the night was quiet, even though the city was bustling with cheers.
The police station was chaotic, a middle aged man with the fraction of time he spent written on his face, was playing cards with another cop, who was young.
"Why do you keep winning?, are you cheating?" The young cop asked in frustration,
A female cop behind him, who was resting on a departmental chair replied,
"You have poor skills, you even lost to xiao nuan" ,
Another young female officer who was pouring a cup of water from the container looked back,
The head cop was sitting at his partitioned office, listening to everything as he stepped out of his office, he went towards the container,
"Who told you that?" The young cop said,
"Someone just can't admit that they lost" The cop said as she placed her glass of water in the counter, and the head cop started filling his cup from the container.
"Oh, be real !, you don't even know the difference between ace and king"
The young cop retorted, clarifying himself,
Right then, a phone rang,
The head cop took out the phone from his pocket, and received it,
"Hello"
After a moment of pause,
"Qin yanli?, The actress?" He said placing the cup of water on the counter as everyone looked at him with attention
Again, a moment of pause,
"Where are you?" He said as he picked up his jacket from the side hanger,
"Okay, we are coming." He hung up the call, placing back his phone in the pocket.
"Where to?" The young cop, who earlier lost the match asked standing up from his place,
"The City's center hotel," He replied
They both rushed towards the door followed by the middle aged man, and xiao nuan,
As the female officer who was resting on the chair throwed a jacket towards xiao nuan, which was caught by her.
They all arrived at the place, the scenario was depressing, only a single lamp post was shining and all other were off, the roads were still, many cars were parked sideways, and there was lu yusheng holding her in his hands.
He was sitting on the road with yanli in his embrace,her dress stained red with the blood her eyes closed,
The head officer rushed towards them and halted upon seeing Qin yanli, her body was white, drained of life, and energy.
He asked the bodyguard standing beside him,
"Who contacted us?" He couldn't behave imprudent at this time,
"I did" Another bodyguard who stood by sidelines replied catching up to them,
"What happened here?"
"We were going to Sichuan, until boss spotted someone lying down at the road, and when we got close, blood was all over and in between .." He explained the whole situation, and looked back towards the lu yusheng,
"It was her" he completed his sentence and looked back.
The head officer signalled the the young cop by his eyes to keep enquiring, as he made his way towards lu yusheng.
The man was overwhelming with emotions,his eyes kept flowing, hugging her tightly.
The head cop tried to calm the man and separate him from the body,
"Mr. Lu, I am zhao min, the head officer"
He tried to get some reaction out of him but to no avail, he kept holding her and didn't say anything,
"We need to check her body, you have to put her down" He urged him to comply.
