C32

At 11 PM, Yi Lu had already fallen into a deep sleep, while Lu Xiang was still sitting at the table, chatting with "Love her and I'll fulfill her wish". He had a premonition that this would be the last time the two of them would cross paths.

To love her would be to fulfill her: at last the truth was revealed. Congratulations, did you really not consider becoming a professional detective?

Flying fish: Where, where! Actually, you've been giving me a lot of clues in the dark all along. Many times, I feel that I am at my wit's end. Yet, you were able to point me in the right direction through unintentional words.

To love her is to fulfill her: Well, then, I have the potential to be a detective, too?

Flying Fish: No, you may not have that ability.

To love her is to fulfill her: why?

Flying Fish: You must have known Shen Yue's whole plan from the beginning.

(In response to Lu Xiang's words, there was a long silence.) After a long time, just when Lu Xiang was about to lose his patience, the other party suddenly responded.

To love her is to give her what she wants: I did know from the beginning, and I didn't lie in front of the real person. How did you know?

Flying Fish: Do you believe me when I tell you I have special abilities? Yang Fan, the first time we met, the moment I shook hands, I saw a picture of you and a woman being together. That woman was Shen Yue, whom I only met afterwards. If I'm not wrong, you're her real boyfriend.

To love her is to achieve her: yes, Shen Yue and I are college classmates, and we have always been on good terms. Originally, I wanted to come over to propose after my career had stabilized, but who would've thought that a Zhāng Yān would appear out of thin air. When Shen Yue said that she wanted revenge and wanted to free herself, I also suffered for a long time. Then, I thought it through. Since I loved her, I should fulfill her wish in her heart.

Flying Fish: I am very touched, but I do not approve of such a lose-lose approach.

If you love her, you must fulfill her: if you love someone, you must fulfill her. Since Shen Yue has decided to release herself in this way, I will support her. Wang-mu's killing tactics were my own, and those things in Shen Yue's computer were the result of my and Shen Yue's wisdom. And, Shen Yue, my goddess, her body is also dedicated to me … We cry, we laugh, we make love a song...

Flying Fish:...

Do you know what I'm most worried about? He was worried that the police would be too stupid to find the murderer. This way, our plan can't go any further. So I stayed here to give the police some clues so that they could slowly understand the whole thing and shake the dirt out of the whole thing! Later on, Detective Lu appeared, which saved you a lot of trouble. With just a small clue, you were able to solve the mystery step by step.

Flying fish: That's not trivial, it's about the point.

If you love her, you'll do it. Do you love your girlfriend?

Flying Fish: I love her very much.

Love her and do it: you are so much luckier than me and Shen Yue. You should cherish her, Yi Lu is a good girl.

Flying Fish: Good. Oh right, a few days ago, you went to the hospital and paid the twenty thousand dollars for the operation on Hu Dian, right?

To love her is to do it: yes. Of all the people involved in this plot, Hu Dian was the most innocent. That's some compensation to Shen Yue and me. It's getting late, I'm off. Goodbye, Lu Xiang.

Flying fish: Goodbye, Yang Fan!

Following that, Yang Fan's QQ profile pic darkened.

After that, Lu Xiang never saw this QQ profile pic light up again. Yang Fan had probably completely abandoned using this QQ.

There was one thing that Lu Xiang didn't tell anyone. The reason why he found the painting to be a lethal weapon was because when he approached the painting, he felt the intense aura of an item from the Underworld. It was precisely because of the aura emitted by the items in the Underworld that Lu Xiang paid special attention to the painting of fairies. As a result, he paid attention to the bloodstains on the painting, and finally discovered the secret of the murder weapon.

However, Lu Xiang had never known where the items from the Underworld were hidden, nor did he have the opportunity to search for them. Later on, at Officer Liu's place, Lu Xiang found an opportunity to take out the Soul Devouring Orb and searched through the painting of a fairy (which was sent to the police station as a lethal weapon). Finally, a few wisps of red smoke floated out of the diagram and entered the Soul Devouring Orb.

At this time, Lu Xiang finally knew that the Underworld's item was actually the Underworld's makeup foundation. Perhaps, Shen Yue accidentally mixed the Underworld's powder base with paint, causing the drawing to be vivid and lifelike — — Lu Xiang had even seen the fairy on the painting blink his eyes, but when he recalled it now, it wasn't an illusion.

After this incident, the sunny face of Yang Fan would always appear in Lu Xiang's mind. Would he be Shen Yue's killer? It was possible — it was possible that he had killed Shen Yue directly, or that Shen Yue had designed some kind of mechanism to commit suicide without 'external assistance'.

But did it matter? Lu Xiang knew that even if it was really Yang Fan who killed Shen Yue, Shen Yue's heavenly spirit would only be filled with gratitude. Since the police didn't have any evidence to prove that Yang Fan was the culprit, Lu Xiang wanted to "shield" Yang Fan and bury their records in the depths of his memories, not mentioning them to anyone else.

Sometimes, Lu Xiang couldn't help but wonder: How is Yang Fan doing now? Have you gotten out of the mishap and found a new girlfriend as beautiful as Shen Yue?

Whenever this happened, looking at Yi Lu who was beside him, an indescribable contentment and happiness would surge up in Lu Xiang's heart.
