After resting for one day, Li Yi went back to work.
"Li Yi, you're finally back. Are you feeling much better?" as Bi Bi ran up to her.
Li Yi drops her bag on her chair, "if I don't come back sooner, I might get killed by someone." She said this while looking at Zhang Yu Xuan.
After Li Yi came back, nothing has changed. They're still working on the case, and there's no new evidence to guide them anywhere.
As they sat there looking at the screen of pictures that they took at the scene, Li Yi found something. "Go back to the previous picture."
Lo Lo went back and looked at the picture.
It was a picture of the sewer before it was removed.
"Can you enlarge it?" Li Yi asks Lo Lo.
After looking at the image for a really long time, Li Yi just knew what to do. But she needs to confirm it first. Li Yi grabs her jacket, and starts racing out to the door.
"Where are you going?" as Yu Xuan screamed.
"I'll be back in a half hour."
Li Yi took her car and drove to the crime scene again. The sky is already dark, and this is what she wanted. This thing can only be seen at night, and she carries the camera around her neck.
She waits and waits for it to show up, but there's nothing.
"Am I wrong?" as she starts doubting herself.
She waits again and again, but nothing shows up. As she was about to give up, a flash of light shone across, and hit right at the spot of the sewer cover.
Li Yi smiles. She checks her watch, 9:55pm. And starts taking pictures of it.
It took her less than 5 minutes to finish. As she walks back to her car, she feels the light is moving towards her. She turns around, and the light is still at the original spot. Maybe she's thinking too much, and just walks up to her car.
She stopped at the car door, and found her car tire flatten again. At this moment she knows that this isn't any coincidence. Someone did this, and she already has a clue of who did this.
Li Yi deleted the pictures that she took unknowingly, and grip on the camera in her hand. She knows that she's being followed the whole time. And she came out in a rush that she forgot her gun.
"I can't die yet. My life can't end like this," Li Yi closes her eyes, and starts rambling about all those nonsense. As she's praying, the footsteps are getting closer to her. Li Yi grips on the camera tighter. She is planning to use the camera to attack the perpetrator if he/or she comes any closer.
"AHHHHH," Li Yi turns around,and raises the camera up high. The hand stops her, but her eyes are still close. "
"What are you doing?"
Li Yi recognizes that voice. She opens her eyes, and Yu Xuan is right in front of her. She quickly drops down the camera. "Shouldn't I ask you that question. Why are you here?" Li Yi checks to see if her camera is okay and ignores Yu Xuan's existence.
"Why can't I be here? You don't own this place," as he talks back.
Yu Xuan knows that Li Yi went back to the scene. And even though he doesn't or show it, he still worries about her. He doesn't want Li Yi to get into any more trouble, then she already has.
"I found something on the scene. It's something that could really help us, and I've somewhat known who the murderer might be already." Li Yi stares at Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan didn't say anything, and stared at her. "Are you okay?" as Li Yi waves her hand in front of his face. "Your not okay," as he waved her hand away.
Li Yi gave him a face, and started walking. Yu Xuan followed her from behind, and checked the surroundings.
There is something off, but he can't tell what's off.
As he saw Li Yi walking, he suddenly called out to her. "You're walking the wrong way. My car is that way."
Li Yi stops and turns around. "Why don't you say earlier?," and started walking towards the direction Yu Xuan told her.
As Li Yi walks past him, he is ready to walk behind her. There was a sudden flash of light shimmering past Li Yi's back. Yu Xuan turned around, and saw a man aiming a gun at Li Yi.
Li Yi didn't realize this, and as she was almost near the car, Yu Xuan grabs her hand and starts running.
"What are you doing?" Li Yi saw Yu Xuan's expression and it was serious.
"There's danger. Don't look back." Those are the last words that Yu Xuan said.
The man pulls the trigger and fires.
*BAMM BAMM!!*
The man smirks, and hurriedly runs off.
On the other hand, Li Yi's eyes shoot open.
Yu Xuan looks at her with a smile, and falls down to the ground.
"Yu Xuan? Yua Xuan?" Li Yi screams his name, but he doesn't respond. Yu Xuan has completely lost consciousness.
At the hospital…
It's been two hours, and the operation is still going.
Two people start running towards Li Yi with worries.
"Ah Yi, where's Yu Xuan?" as Auntie Zhang asks anxiously. Beside auntie Zhang is Alan. The boy that didn't talk much from last time.
"Auntie Zhang, Yu Xuan is still inside the operation room." Li Yi unconsciously takes Auntie Zhang's hand, and starts comforting her. "He's gonna be okay." Those are the only words that came out of her mouth. She just wishes that he's fine and comes out alive. Li Yi wouldn't want to owe him anything, if something happens.
After another hour, the light finally closed. The doctor came out, and she couldn't believe it was her brother being the surgeon.
"Doctor, how is my son?" as Auntie Zhang asks Li Xiang.
"The operation was successful. He will be awake shortly after the anesthetic fades away. The nurse is gonna push him back to the ward, and you guys can go see him. But the patient needs to rest, so don't stay there too long." After saying it, Li Xiang walks off.
In a second, Yu Xuan was pushed out by the nurse. He is still unconscious, but knowing that he is fine, Li Yi's heart finally could calm down.
Li Yi watches as Auntie Zhang and Alan follow the nurse upstairs. She didn't go with them.
Li Yi just has so many things in her mind right now that she doesn't know what to do anymore. But right now, what's more important is catching the culprit.
She went back to the station, and called the operation team out to the scene.
….
Morning arrives.
Li Yi and the team are still in the crime scene area. She scans every building in the neighborhood. 'There must be something that I miss', as she thinks to herself.
She checks the spot where the person hid last time, and starts rewinding back to all the evidence they found from the beginning.
"Lo Lo, is there any abandoned house near here?" as Li Yi asks him. Lo Lo quickly checks at his all purpose laptop.
" I found it. It's less than 3 miles from here."
In less than 10 minute, they found the abandoned house. They break into the house, and find a man sitting on the chair staring at them. He creepily laughs and stares at Li Yi.
"I've been waiting for you. Has your little boyfriend died yet?" as he said it arrogantly.
"Handcuff him," as Li Yi said.
….
After admitting to the crime he did, he was locked inside the jail cell until court date.
"Li Yi, are you going to go see Zhang Sir? Me, Kai Ge, and Lo Lo are planning to go see him. Want to come along?"
Li Yi hesitates for a moment, but agrees to go.
Once they arrived at the hospital entrance. Kai Ge drags Bi Bi to go buy some flowers, and Lo Lo went to buy some fruits. Leaving Li Yi alone. She has no choice, but to go up alone first.
Li Yi arrives outside of his room, and is not sure how she should enter. She feels like it was her fault that caused him to be like this. Li Yi didn't know how to face him.
She gathers all her courage and takes a deep breath, before she enters the room. She turned the door knobs and walked in.
Li Yi awkwardly stands there and realizes that she came at the wrong time.
"Don't you know how to knock on the door first?" Yu Xuan embarrassedly looks away. As he was about to pull his shirt back up, Li Yi's eyes didn't shift away.
Yu Xuan noticed her staring at him. "Are you done looking?" as he said it in a firm voice.
"Hello?"
Li Yi is frozen into the spot and nothing is getting her attention, besides that scar from Yu Xuan's chest.
"How did you get that scar?" Li Yi looks at Yu Xuan.
