Chapter 82
Ling Hua’an let himself be weak for too long and soon regained his composure. Fortunately, Yan Yu was always by his side, so he would not be alone with his thoughts. After crying for a while, the negative emotions in his heart dissipated a lot, especially the grievances. Probably because he no longer had expectations, he is now calmer compared to his previous apprehension.
“Yan Yu, thank you.” Ling Hua’an was truly grateful to have him by his side at this moment.
Yan Yu reluctantly let go of his hand and said, “No need to say that to me.”
Ling Hua’an smiled, “Okay. I’m a little tired. I want to sleep for a while. You can rest as well.”
Yan Yu tucked the corner of the quilt for him and said, “just sleep, don’t worry about me. ”
Ling Hua’an smiled helplessly and closed his eyes for a short while before falling asleep. He was seriously injured in the first place, but after the incident just now, his mood fluctuated too much. How fast he fell asleep is enough to show how sad he was.
Yan Yu stood up, moved lightly, took out the laptop from the locker, and sat on the sofa to start working. Only the sound of his typing on the keyboard was left in the room for a while.
Ling Hua’an woke up not knowing how long had passed. He had just opened his eyes when he heard Yan Yu’s voice, “Hua’an, you’re awake. How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?”
His throat was dry and itchy. Ling Hua’an coughed a few times softly and said hoarsely, “Yan Yu, how long did I sleep?”
Yan Yu reached out and touched Ling Hua An’s forehead and said, “You slept for eight hours. Hua’an, you had a fever while you were sleeping, and it has subsided. How do you feel?”
Ling Hua’an raised his hand and pinched the sore feeling between his brows, and said truthfully, “My throat is uncomfortable, I have a headache, and I have no strength. There’s nothing else other than that.”
Yan Yu poured a glass of water, tested the water temperature with a glass, and helped Ling Hua’an to drink it.
“Has your throat gotten better?”
“Much better.”
“Wait a minute, I’ll call the doctor and let him come over and take a look.”
As soon as Yan Yu opened the ward door, he met Jiang Chengyan, who wanted to knock on the door. He looked at Jiang Chengyan and said, “You take care of him. I’ll call a doctor.”
Looking at Yan Yu’s back, Jiang Chengyan frowned, walked quickly into the ward, and asked with concern, “Hua’an, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?”
“It’s okay, just a little feverish, but it has subsided now. Yan Yu is worried and insists on calling the doctor.” Ling Hua’an had no plans to hide it. After all, Jiang Chengyan had to know when the doctor came.
Jiang Chengyan stretched out his hand, touched Ling Hua’an’s forehead, and asked, “you have a fever? Is the wound inflamed?”
“I don’t know, but since the fever has subsided, it proves nothing is wrong. Don’t worry.”
Jiang Chengyan held his hand and said with guilt, “Hua’an, I’m sorry. I was so busy with work that I didn’t even take care of you.”
“It’s fine. There are nurses and doctors in the hospital. If you can’t do it, you can hire a caretaker. You can do whatever you want.” Although he said that, because of today’s encounter, Ling Hua’an still wanted someone to stay by his side.
The more Ling Hua’an said this, the more guilt Jiang Chengyan felt in his heart, “the case is almost over. I will ask for leave to accompany you after a few days of work.”
While they were talking, the door of the ward was pushed open and Yan Yu and the doctor walked in one after another. After some examination, he said, “Mr. Ling, your wound is healing pretty well. Having a fever is normal. As long as the fever subsides, it’s not a big problem. But you still have to be careful, you have injured your heart. After all, you can’t have too much emotional fluctuation.”

Ling Hua’an hurriedly interrupted the doctor’s words and said, “Okay, I will follow the doctor’s orders and take care of my illness. I’ll trouble the doctor.”
“Mr. Ling, you’re welcome, then I won’t disturb your rest. Just call me if you need anything.”
The doctor quickly left the ward. Yan Yu looked at Ling Hua’an and said warmly, “Hua’an, Captain Jiang is here, so I’ll go back first. I’ll come back tomorrow morning. What do you want for breakfast?”
“I don’t have any appetite, just some porridge.”
“Okay.” Yan Yu turned to look at Jiang Chengyan and said, “Captain Jiang, take his temperature every two hours. If something happens, press the bedside button to alert the nurse on duty.”
“Okay, don’t worry. I will take good care of him.” Being instructed by Yan Yu like this, Jiang Chengyan felt a little uncomfortable, but he knew that he wasn’t doing well enough as a boyfriend.
“Then I’ll go first.”
“Drive carefully on the road.”
Yan Yu responded before turning around and leaving the ward.
Jiang Chengyan walked to the door, locked it, took off his shoes, got into Ling Hua’an’s arms, and said sullenly, “Hua’an, it would be great if I didn’t have so much work. I also want to be by your side.”
Ling Hua’an stroked his hair and said with a smile, “What’s wrong? You’re not jealous again, are you?”
Jiang Chengyan shook his head and said, “No. I just feel sorry for you. You are sick and hospitalized, but I can’t accompany you.”
“Then how about Captain Jiang simply resign and work full-time as my family cook?”
Jiang Chengyan thought about it and answered honestly, “But I still love this job.”
“Do it if you like it. Not everyone can do the work they like, Captain Jiang. Captain Jiang should cherish it. I can appreciate how hard you work, so you should stop overthinking.”
Ling Hua’an likes Jiang Chengyan, but he doesn’t want to confine him around. Instead, he supports Jiang Chengyan’s work because he knows how to maintain a relationship for a longer time.
Jiang Chengyan raised his head, kissed Ling Hua’an’s lips, and said emotionally, “Hua’an, being able to meet you and fall in love with you is the luckiest thing in my life.”
“So Captain Jiang has to love me more.” Ling Hua’an tapped his lips.
Jiang Chengyan did not hesitate, raised his head, and kissed it. He really felt very happy at the moment.
***
Jiang Chengyan’s light panting was in his ears, and his beloved’s warm body was in his arms. Although he wanted to do something, his physical condition didn’t allow it. Ling Hua’an could only bear it.
He finds a topic to divert their attention, “Captain Jiang said the case is almost over, so you have found the real murderer of Liang Yijun?”
“En. The bloodstain test results on your sleeves came out. It matches Sun Ting’s DNA.” Jiang Chengyan stopped talking, he was trying to sell a story1.“
Ling Hua’an frowned and said, “this is not right, the voice at that time was definitely not Sun Ting.”
“But the test results can’t be wrong. The DNA extracted from the bloodstain on it belongs to Sun Ting, so I brought Sun Ting back to the police station. Can you guess what’s next?”
Ling Hua’an thought for a while and said, “You’re right. The test results couldn’t be wrong, the only thing that went wrong was the clothes I was wearing. If there’s no third person’s DNA, she is indeed with Sun Ting. But I’m very confident with my hearing. That voice is an original voice, there is no disguise. With the same DNA but different voices, there’s only one conclusion; the woman who injured me and Sun Ting are sisters and they’re identical twins. Captain Jiang, is my speculation correct?”
Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Hua’an in surprise and said, “Hua’an, your reasoning ability is too strong! I really think it’s a loss for the police if you’re not a criminal investigator. It’s a pity!”
“So I guessed right… Is Gao Mingqiang’s adopted daughter Sun Ting’s identical twins?”

“En, it’s Gao Ying. I bumped into her when I went to take Sun Ting today, but she ran away. She hasn’t been found yet.” Jiang Chengyan’s tone was a little sad.
“What about Wang Ran? What is her relationship with them? ”
“They are triplets. Sun Ting accidentally discovered that Liang Yijun killed Wang Ran and informed Gao Ying about the incident. Then Gao Ying invited the master to invoke Wang Ran’s soul. After that, the three sisters discussed revenge…” Jiang Chengyan repeated Sun Ting’s confession.
Ling Hua’an said with emotion, “although Gao Ying was not born to Gao Mingqiang, their relationship is better than that of many biological fathers and daughters.”
Jiang Chengyan agreed and said, “Yeah, at least it’s deeper than the three sisters’ relationship.”
“Then did you find that surveillance video in Gao Ying’s laptop?”
“I found it. Along with the photo when Liang Yijun killed Wang Ran, they are all stored in a hidden folder on her laptop.”
“What about Wang Ran and Gao Ying’s residence, did you get anything?”
“Nothing, not even a single fingerprint was found. It was clearly cleaned up.”
“Cleaned up?” Ling Hua’an frowned slightly and said, “If the scene is cleaned up, she must be trying to hide something. Have Sun Ting and Gao Ying lived together since Liang Yijun’s death? ”
“It should be. Because they look exactly the same, they can easily deceive others and let those who are at her home do an alibi for her so that they can commit crimes.”
“When you investigated Gao Mingqiang’s case, you didn’t find Gao Ying’s current photo?”
“No. Not only Gao Mingqiang’s hometown but also the house he rents now, there’s nothing.”
“Have you investigated any information about Gao Ying before? Where does she work, who she was close to, what hobbies were her hobbies etc.”
“No.” Jiang Chengyan frowned and said, “Hua’an, after you said that, I found that the people who seemed to know Gao Ying, except Sun Ting, were all dead.”
“Captain Jiang, is the person you saw today really Gao Ying?”
“I’m not sure. I only saw a back figure, wearing black sportswear, hat, and mask, their height…” Jiang Chengyan thought back carefully and said, “It’s about 170 cm.”
“Climbing down from the window on the fifth floor without any protective measures. I think if I am not completely sure, I should not dare to do so, especially a girl.”
“Tomorrow, I’ll take another look at the surveillance video.”
“I think to finish this case completely, we must first figure out this Gao Ying. And if we want to know about Gao Ying, we must start with Sun Ting.”
“En, after I watch the surveillance tomorrow, I will interrogate Sun Ting again.”
Ling Hua’an pinched his brows wearily. Although he slept for more than eight hours, he still felt dizzy and wanted to sleep.
Jiang Chengyan looked up at Ling Hua’an, his pale face was full of fatigue. He stretched out his hand to massage Ling Hua’an’s temple and said distressingly, “Hua’an, don’t worry about the case. What you need to do now is to rest and recuperate. Try to get better soon.”
Ling Hua’an closed his eyes and enjoyed Jiang Chengyan’s massage. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Chengyan massaged him for a while before withdrawing his hand. He kissed the corner of his lips, set the alarm clock, adjusted a comfortable position in Ling Hua’an’s arms, and fell asleep.
