“That was the most beautiful moment of my wife in my memory!”

“I remember it was a warm sunny morning, and the school was full of new arrivals. They were so very small, but each one’s eyes held a purity and fervor that adults no longer had.”

“They stood upright, waiting for their teacher to arrive. I was there only by coincidence. I’ve revisited my life many times, but there’s no scene that makes me as grateful as this one — that I was there and I saw it.”

“She was so shy then, her face turning red as a rose when she walked out from the teachers’ area in her floral dress, with eyes that seemed to hold all the beauty in the world.”

“Looking at her, there was a voice in my heart constantly calling out to me, grab her… cherish her… don’t miss out, she will be the love of your life!”

“I had never been so moved; my heart was pounding uncontrollably. However, just when I thought that was her most beautiful side, she showed me an even lovelier side. She was teaching the children to salute, but due to nervousness, this teacher kept making simple mistakes.”

“I could see she was about to cry with anxiety, but thankfully, she calmed herself. After teaching the salutation, she led them in morning exercises.”

“It was then I knew, the girl I wanted didn’t need to be stunningly beautiful, just that every frown and smile, every move, would deeply touch my heart!”

“From that day on, I always found a way to get close to her. Later we were together, dreaming of our future, we had promised to have lots and lots of kids…”

At this point, the smile on Jiang Anguang’s face gradually turned into pain.

“But the heavens conspired against our ordinary lives, insisting on a regret within our wonderful life. We fought, we tried hard, but later I gave up, I didn’t want to see her suffer anymore.”

“Yet I overlooked her determination; she was obsessed. She secretly took various medications, I scolded her once I found out, but she wouldn’t listen.”

“In the end, she finally broke her health, and I went crazy working to make money, only hoping to save her quickly, but it was too late! The day she left, she coughed blood, curled up in my arms saying it hurt so much.”

Jiang Anguang’s voice now carried a sob, yet tears did not fall.

Chen Xiao quietly watched and listened, and even Xie Wensheng did not interrupt.

After several throat tremors, Jiang Anguang silently closed his eyes.

“She still left, gradually growing cold in my arms. Duoduo stayed by us, sometimes nudging Qin Ling to try and wake her, other times licking my face, seemingly telling me not to cry.”

“In those difficult days after Qin Ling left, it was there with me. But why did they have to eat it, why? I didn’t want to kill, in my heart no other life could compare to everything I had.”

“They ate Duoduo, they ate everything of mine…”

Jiang Anguang spoke as his head slowly bowed.

After a moment of silence, Xie Wensheng finally spoke: “Come with us.”

Jiang Anguang raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

He looked at Chen Xiao, who understood what he wanted to say, so he asked:

“Two last questions, why destroy their features? Just to give the police a harder time investigating?”

Jiang Anguang chuckled: “Among those six, there were actually two who didn’t deserve to die, which were Xue Xiangdi and Luo Yan. They weren’t so bad, but unfortunately they chose the wrong companions. People, they must always keep their eyes open in this life.”

“Their eyes were blind, so I took their eyes. Whoever was the greediest, I smashed their mouth. For those whose ears didn’t listen, I cut off their ears. Only after doing all that did I think of creating trouble for you guys.”

“After all, I’m not skilled at these things, but I understand a bit.”

Chen Xiao nodded: “One last question, why choose this method of disposing bodies?”

“It’s simple, at first I thought of throwing them one by one, throwing one as an indication of the next. I don’t know why, but after my hint, I felt a dark pleasure in my heart. That dark pleasure became increasingly addictive, but later it became uncontrollable, especially with Qin Ling’s brother about to return to Shencheng City.”

“If he came back and went to the recycling station, he would surely find out, so I threw them all out last night. As for why I chose Hongfeng Lake as the last dumping site, it was actually my way of saying goodbye to myself.”

“Everything began there, so everything should end there!”

After saying this, Jiang Anguang fell silent.

Chen Xiao also had nothing more to ask.

The three of them walked out of the woods together.

Though once out of the woods, Jiang Anguang hummed a section of “Southeast Fly the Peacocks” as they walked.

Without stopping on the road, Xie Wensheng drove towards the criminal police squad at the branch office.

But on the way to the criminal police squad, they had to pass by the Chinese medicine clinic.

Jiang Anguang looked at his Chinese medicine clinic, his eyes beginning to wander again.

“Ten years like a dream.”

Xie Wensheng couldn’t help but squint his eyes: “Do you not have even a trace of regret?”

“Once you release an arrow, it never returns; some things cannot be undone once the first step is taken. Some deserved to die, others died unjustly.”

“The wronged, find me when I go down there.”

Xie Wensheng frowned, not wanting to say more, while only Chen Xiao unexpectedly asked: “Have you ever thought there might be a misunderstanding in all this?”

“Misunderstanding?” Jiang Anguang didn’t understand.

Chen Xiao: “When faced with death, who can maintain stubbornness, craftiness, or lies? Maybe what they said wasn’t about Duoduo, but they really went to a dog meat restaurant once?”

Jiang Anguang’s eyes instantly filled with a cold sneer: “That’s impossible, I’m very clear about their character! They steal, cheat, rob, what won’t they do? The only thing they won’t do is live an honest life!”

Chen Xiao didn’t want to continue arguing about this topic.

After all, in the face of the case, these were no longer important.

However, what Chen Xiao never expected was when the car passed by Jiang Anguang’s Chinese medicine clinic, a dirty silhouette suddenly rushed out from inside the clinic in the rearview mirror.

It was a dog!

A native dog!

Very thin, covered in dirt.

But it seemed to sense something, relentlessly chasing after Xie Wensheng’s car.

Chasing all the way.

Barking loudly all the way.

Chen Xiao watched the dog’s chasing silhouette in the rearview mirror, his eyes gradually widening.

And Jiang Anguang obviously noticed as well, his gaze steadily moved towards the rearview mirror.

Upon seeing the dog chasing the car.

He was completely dumbfounded, his face instantly losing all color!

His mouth opened as if wanting to shout, yet at this moment, not even the slightest sound came out!
