In the delicate box, the dazzling blue heart-shaped diamond lay quietly, shining and sparkling, evidently of significant value.
Gu Xiaoer's face turned pale in an instant, and she hurriedly took out the diamond, flipping it over and over, but she could not find any trace of her mother's earring.
"Miss Xiao Er, what's wrong?" Sister Sun asked in confusion, seeing Gu Xiaoer's anxious and pale face, she couldn't help showing concern.
Gu Xiaoer grabbed Sister Sun's hand as if clutching a lifeline, "Sister Sun, have you seen another item, it was kept together with this!"
Sister Sun was startled by her agitated behavior and felt a jolt in her heart, and quickly asked, "Is something missing? I only got this box when I went to the ICU!"
"No, it was placed together, right inside this box," Gu Xiaoer said, almost crying. She had risked her life to retrieve that earring from the fire, so why had it disappeared overnight?
She had clearly looked at it last night!
"Miss Xiao Er, don't panic, tell Sister Sun what you've lost, and I will go look for it right away! Ah, don't worry!" Sister Sun broke into a cold sweat and kept recalling how she had rushed to the hospital last night after being notified, just as that woman also arrived. Doctor Shen was worried about complicating matters, which is why he instructed her to take Miss Xiao Er away quickly.
Afterward, once she saw that Miss Xiao Er had fallen asleep, she quickly went back to look for the items.
The ICU was a vital area of the hospital, and since it was Mr. Shen's residence, it was impossible for random people to gain entry...
With this in mind, she hurried towards the ICU, and Gu Xiaoer, not caring about eating or getting injections, also ran out following Sister Sun, wearing her slippers.
Along the hospital's long corridor, Shen Minghan quickly explained his surgical situation to Han Luoli, thankful that he was lucky to have avoided further complications.
Wei Feng, after hearing that the two of them had almost finished their conversation, took two quick steps to catch up with Han Luoli.
"Boss, we have found conclusive evidence in the arson case at Yaxi Garden."
Han Luoli's expression darkened, and he frowned deeply, signaling Wei Feng to continue, while Shen Minghan also stopped in surprise.
"Arson is the easiest way to destroy evidence in a murder, but the culprit, Yang Xue, wasn't too clever with her methods. The bolts on Miss Gu's security door were clearly dissolved with chemicals, making it inoperable. Our people even found the lid of a gasoline can at the scene. So, these pieces of evidence can directly prove that Yang Xue intentionally committed murder."
"Yang Xue? Who is that?"
"Mr. Shen, she's a classmate of Miss Gu from Nanyi and also a neighbor in the same residential complex," explained Wei Feng.
Shen Minghan shivered involuntarily, harboring murderous intent toward Xiao Er. How vicious could one's thoughts be? Even he, who dealt with life and death, could not help but be astonished. With so many patients in the hospital, his good brother having gone through a major surgery, and that naive girl nearly losing her life... How evil must someone's thoughts be to commit such an outrageous and heinous act?
"How could a girl..."
The deserted corridor grew colder as the air pressure seemed to drop.
Wei Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked up at Han Luoli's increasingly stern face, and began to speak with a slight tremble, "Currently, Yang Xue has been apprehended. However..."
"Speak," the man said, looking into the distance, his brows and eyes still.
"The psychiatry department has examined Yang Xue, and she is a patient with mania. At the time of the incident, she was in the midst of an episode..."
These words implied a different significance. It is only right for a murderer to be caught and punished, but if the culprit is a mental patient, the law struggles to make a judgment.
Han Luoli withdrew his gaze, his features lacking any sign of emotion. Yet each word he uttered was laced with ice, as if pointing a sword at something, his eyes ominously smiling, "Wei Feng, you know how the mentally ill can die."
