Chapter 169

!""Wang Qiang told me everything! You're not even a student from Yicheng Middle School! You're not even from Shun De!"“You liar! You’re a liar!” she shouted at me with bloodshot eyes.I took two steps...During the few days I stayed at Qiyuan Garden, this girl constantly mocked and ridiculed me. Sometimes she'd say things like "grave robbers deserve to die a horrible death" or "grave robbers should rot in prison." She was just plain rude and unmannered, all because her dad spoiled her rotten.

I'm in a predicament with Zhao Hongming right now, and I don't dare to scold or hit her. There are grievances that I can't express.

The patient's condition has improved, and the wound is gradually healing. Dr. Left said that the patient may wake up soon. If he wakes up without any major problems, the rest will be a slow recovery.

That night, at around 9 p.m., Zhao Hongming told me there were leads about the case, something to do with Sister Hong.

He said, "I haven't been idle these past few days. The surveillance footage from that night at the hotel was deliberately destroyed, but I followed your lead and investigated. As a result, I made a major discovery before the police."

"""

He showed me a surveillance video. Back then, the quality was blurry, and the computer was an old desktop. Zhao Hongming had someone burn the surveillance footage onto a VCD disc which we played back on a television set.

That night, a Citron happened to be parked at the inn. This footage was captured by the Citron's dashcam.

The video playing on the TV was very grainy, and the timestamp displayed showed 12:15 AM that night.

Here she comes, someone's here, it's Red Sister!

The inn was dark. In the recording, Sister Hong walked to the apple tree on her own, looking up at it constantly.

Because of the dashcam's angle, it's unclear what's on the tree and it doesn't pick up any sound.

Sister Hong looked at the apple tree for about three minutes, suddenly, the screen flashed.

In the video, a bird appears. Its eyes gleam with green light in the footage, exactly as the proprietress described, which is very strange.

I sprang up from my chair, pointing at the television screen, my hands trembling!

I've seen this bird before, it's a pure white owl! It just landed on the apple tree!

Hong Jie looked up and wasn't looking at the apple tree at all! She was looking at the owls in the tree!

She is that woman... the one from Changchun...

Before this happened, Red Sister said she swallowed a gold finger. She would be controlled mentally after hearing birds chirp. After we left Feima Mountain, we forgot about it!

My forehead was sweating, and my heart jumped into my throat.

If that woman had come to Hong Kong, then the little braid would probably still be alive. They blew up the cave and after they came out, they chased us all the way to Hong Kong.

In other words, this is highly likely a revenge from the Changchun!

"Hey, kid, what's wrong" Seeing my restlessness, Zhao Hongming asked.

I kept telling myself to stay calm, calm down. Now more than ever, I need to keep my cool.

Taking a deep breath, I looked at Zhao Hongming and said, "Mr. Zhao, I already know who's behind this."

">

"Oh" Zhao Hongming raised an eyebrow. "Although it's strange, you wouldn't say the murderer is this bird, would you"

I asked him if he had ever heard of the Changchunhui.

Zhao Hongming thought for a moment and replied, "I know there are the Sanlianhui, Xiaodao Hui, and Changchunhui. Which ones are they"

I told him that Changchun will be a force within the mainland, possibly rooted in Northeast Changchun. There are many powerful figures within the organization. Having his head injured was revenge from the Changchun Society against our group.

Zhao Hongming, with his legs crossed and tapping on the table, fell into deep thought.

After a few minutes, he spoke, "It seems things are more complicated than I thought. I can speak in coastal areas, but I'm helpless inland. Zhao doesn't want to get involved with you and something called the Changchun Society, you know"

I said, "So what you're saying now is..."trun the sound. Besides, she had been down here before. The reason the bell chimes is because of the power of the spinning wheel and the water flow. As for why it triggered, it's because I dropped so...
