Hearing that sentence, Jin Xiangdong stopped and gazed at Lu Jia’er. Relief showed on his face instead of nervousness. Then he said, “There is indeed a secret, which is to be uncovered by you!”
“Really?” Lu Jia’er eyes gleamed with astonishment.
“What do you think?” Jin Xiangdong slightly curled his lips.
Lu Jia’er also smiled, then she said, “Whether or not it is true, the only thing I want to do now is to interpret your mind!”
“Interpret my mind?” Jin Xiangdong repeated the words, and then said in earnest, “I’d prefer if you interpret my body instead of my mind!”
It seemed that Jin Xiangdong was the only person who could say such honeyed words with such a serious expression.
Lu Jia’er surrendered, her face was reddish. She beat around the bush. “So, I have conquered you now?”
“The way ahead is long and without an ending!” Jin Xiangdong said as he shook his head.
“Well, high and low I’ll search with my unbending will!” Lu Jia’er had the urge to slap him, but she still gave a neat and orderly reply.
Jin Xiangdong smiled and gazed at her, then he gently took her hand. The two continued walking forward. They cast long shadows on the road under the moonlight, with a hint of sweetness following them the whole way.
Half a month later, an evaluation of Yu Fei’s mental state had been made and through verification by multiple parties, it was proved that she did have a split personality.
On the day when the verdict was announced, Lu Jia’er did not go to the court and learned the final judgment through social platforms. Yu Fei was unable to control her own behavior at the time of the incident and killed her stepfather. She took the corresponding criminal responsibility for this. However, due to the defense of mental illness used in court, she was given a light punishment and required compulsory treatment. His sister Yu Fang was released in court.
The case of the twins killing their stepfather had came to a conclusion, but Xu Lei, who was sitting in the office of the provincial public security department, watched the video of Lu Jia’er’s conversations with Yu Fang over and over again, and he became more and more doubtful.
There was a knock on the door, and Xu Lei looked up and saw Zhu Yu coming in. “Captain Xu, it’s time to get off work!”
“I see!” Xu Lei replied concisely.
“Captain Xu, don’t forget that you have an appointment for dinner with Professor Lu tonight!” Zhu Yu said, without leaving.
Xu Lei then remembered that he had invited Lu Jia’er for dinner. He turned the computer off with a click, then he stood up and said, “Let’s go!”
The two went to the elevator together. Xu Lei walked very fast, so Zhu Yu could only trot after him.
In the elevator, Zhu Yu said to Xu Lei, “The mianzi of Professor Lu is big!”
“What do you mean by that?” Xu Lei glanced at Zhu Yu.
“Your fast pace explains itself, Captain Xu!” Zhu Yu smiled and said.
“The speed of my walk has always been like this!” Xu Lei replied.
“Captain Xu, explanation is a sign of deflection!”Zhu Yu smiled meaningfully.
“Zhu Yu, your guts have apparently been growing recently!” Xu Lei looked sideways at Zhu Yu.
“Captain Xu, my guts have always been big. You don’t know it, do you!” Zhu Yu replied daringly.
“Now I know!” Xu Lei looked straight ahead.
Zhu Yu had more contact with Xu Lei because of this case, so the two of them were familiar with each other privately. However, Xu Lei, who used to be a special soldier, had a keen eye, knowing well that this girl had some affection towards him.
