confession today

Chapter 180

The night was thick, the light rain started at some unknown time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the shining stars were hidden behind the clouds, and the streamers that occasionally crossed the sky carried a hint of sadness, as if reminding her that the darkness before dawn was coming .

Cheng Siyan didn't speak, but just watched her quietly.

"Brother, you knew about this a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?"

Cheng Suiran gradually tightened his grip on his sleeve, with tears in his eyes, he choked up and said, "Brother, can you tell me where did you find out?"

"Of course, calm down first." Cheng Siyan sighed, patted her on the back, and comforted her patiently: "The evidence we have now is not enough, so just pretend you don't know about this matter, okay?"

"I just want to know which step you have found?"

After she finished speaking, tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably. She covered her eyes and her shoulders trembled violently: "I just want to know a general direction."

"After knowing the direction, what do you want to do?"

Cheng Siyan's eyes were extremely dark, he stared at his sister pleadingly, his heart throbbed fiercely, his voice slowed down a lot, and he said softly: "Of course, it's not suitable for you to intervene, obediently listen to brother, okay?" ?”

Hearing his words, Cheng Suiran was stunned.

She stared blankly at the man in front of her.

Cheng Si stretched out his slender and well-knit hands, wiped away the tears from her face, and coaxed in a low voice: "Stop crying, be good, but...you believe in brother, he will definitely catch the murderer and uncover the truth of that night." the truth."

Cheng Wanyan persuaded her for a long time, and he didn't let her go until Cheng Suiran gradually calmed down.

Cheng Suiran sniffed his nose, looked up at him, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Brother, is the murderer an acquaintance of ours? Just answer my question."

When she saw the murderer for the first time, she felt familiar, but she couldn't remember it. Many fragmentary pictures appeared in her mind, but she just couldn't remember the specific details no matter what.

"Of course." Cheng Siyan pursed his thin lips, his eyes darkened: "I don't want you to be involved too deeply in this matter."

"why?"

"because……"

"You're lying!" Cheng Suiran stared at him with red eyes: "You already know who the murderer was that night, right?"

Cheng Siyan lowered his eyes, covering the turbulent waves rolling in his eyes.

After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth: "Of course, I just want you to be happy forever, and don't mix any revenge, resentment and the like into it."

"Revenge? Resentment?"

Cheng Suiran murmured and repeated in despair, stood up abruptly, with red eyes, choked up and said, "Brother, since you don't want to tell me, I'll check it myself. I know you are doing it for my own good, but my father died in front of me back then. I witnessed the death of my father with my own eyes. Over the years, I have often dreamed of my father, and I would wake up because of guilt. I just want to know the truth..."

"Brother, can you let me know the truth, I am really in pain..."

She cried more and more, until she was out of breath. In the end, she almost lost the strength to speak, and collapsed on the chair, like a beast on the verge of desperation, suffering and struggling.

Standing by the side, Cheng Siyan felt very sore, he closed his eyes, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and tried to make his voice calm: "Of course, don't be impulsive, we are already investigating, you just need to wait for the results good."

"Why should I wait? Do you want me to pretend that I don't know anything?" Cheng Suiran looked at him with wide eyes, tears in his eyes, and said firmly, "Brother, just tell me the general direction, okay?"

"Ran Ran."

Cheng Siyan squatted in front of her, held her cheeks in both hands, and looked into her eyes seriously: "Do you trust brother?"

"Believe."

Cheng Suiran blurted out without thinking, sniffed and said, "But, I also want to know the truth soon..."

Cheng Siyan sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and said softly: "Of course, brother has insufficient evidence so far, so he can't just tell you what he thinks in his heart. Can you understand what brother means?"

"I understand." Cheng Suiran lowered his eyes, and asked softly, "Then if my brother has all the evidence, will he tell me the truth about that night?"

Hearing her question, Cheng Siyan was slightly relieved, and after a long while, he said "um" in a soft voice: "Yes."

"it is good."

Cheng Suiran's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a slight dimple.

"Hey, go to rest early." Cheng Siyan touched her cheek, and said softly: "Stop thinking about it, brother is here for everything, you know?"

"Yeah." Cheng Suiran nodded with a chuckle.

-

She still had insomnia that night, as long as she closed her eyes, the rainy night, the scene of her father being killed, and the scene of the man stabbing her appeared in her mind.

Those eyes, she is so familiar, yet so strange...

She knew that after her brother found out the murderer, if the murderer was an acquaintance of her and her brother, he would definitely not tell her the truth, so...she had to investigate by herself.

The morning sun shone into the room through the cracks in the curtains, and Cheng Suiran huddled herself in the corner until the alarm clock rang, before she regained consciousness.

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—" After three beeps.

Li Qizhi's concerned voice came from outside the door: "Of course, are you awake?"

Hearing his voice, Cheng Suiran paused, stunned for a moment, and then responded after a while: "Well, I'm awake."

After receiving her response, Li Qizhi opened the door and walked in, seeing her huddled in a corner, with a look of distress in her eyes, sitting on the edge of the bed and whispering: "Of course, I know what happened yesterday, don't be afraid anymore. "

"You know it all?"

Li Qizhi nodded, took her cold hand, and comforted her gently: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

Cheng Suiran lowered his eyes and said softly, "Well, thank you."

The two cuddled together by the bed for a while, and Li Qizhi suddenly asked, "Are you having nightmares again? Do you want to hug me?"

Hearing his words, Cheng Suiran's tense body finally collapsed, stretched out his arms, and was embraced by him obediently, curled up in his arms and sobbed softly, with a trembling voice: "When I closed my eyes last night, my mind It's all about that night, I'm afraid..."

"Hey, don't be afraid."

Li Qizhi patted her on the back, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his warm fingertips, with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was extremely gentle: "Don't be afraid, I am here, I will accompany you as before ,OK?"

Hearing this, Cheng Suiran raised his head, looked at him with tearful eyes, bit his lips, and asked slowly: "Will you stay with me at night? Just like before, sleep with me and stay by my side all the time .”
