At this moment, a thought suddenly came to mind. 0
At that time, there were only three people in the house: Shizhi, Liang, Zhiye. 0
Liang had been dead for over a week, so it couldn't have been him who locked the door, and Zhiye also remembered very clearly: it wasn't him who locked the door. 0
 
 
So, the only possibility for locking the door is Shizhi. 0
Would Shizhi lock it? But why would Shizhi lock the door? Didn't she say Liang could come home at any time? 0
At this moment, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind. 0
 
 
- Shizhi ,Has Liang's body been found? 0
She found that Liang had died long ago, had already "returned home," so she locked the door... 0
How could this be, such absurd, unreasonable thing. But... 0
 
 
Speaking of that night, Shizhi said she was going to get some clothes to change, but it took her 30 minutes to get a piece of clothing. Does it really take that long to get a piece of clothing? It's impossible for it to take that long. She must have done something else during that time. Suppose she discovered Liang's body during that time and ran to the first floor to lock the door? This also explains another thing - when he later went to the fifth floor, he found the door slightly open. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem right. Because when Liang committed suicide, he should have closed the door. Leaving aside the psychology of the suicide victim, if the door wasn't closed properly from the beginning, then Shizhi would have definitely found his body earlier. 0
 
 
But then it makes sense - it should be that Shizhi discovered the body and was too flustered to close the door properly. Zhiye can still vividly recall the scene when Shizhi took the dry clothes from the sixth-floor balcony and returned to the fourth floor. At that time, he teased her about washing together, but she completely ignored him, as if she hadn't heard, and went straight into the bathroom. This was too unnatural. According to Shizhi's usual character, even if she didn't want to, she would just smile and refuse, rather than ignore like this, and she wouldn't get angry over such a thing. 0
 
 
However, Zhiye at the time did not pay much attention to this. Even afterwards, it took her over forty minutes to take a shower, although she claimed it was because she accidentally fell asleep—was that really the case? Come to think of it, something was off after she finished showering and got into bed with him, too. Shizhi 0
 
 
When we got into bed, even before that, and even for a while after, Shizhi was still very enthusiastic. Why did the attitude suddenly change 180 degrees afterwards? 0
I had known about his affair with Meijia for a long time, but I had been pretending not to know. Why did it suddenly explode that night? What was the trigger? If it was something he did wrong that made Shizhi angry, then her impulsive behavior would be understandable. But in fact, the trigger for her change in attitude was him taking out a ring and proposing to her. 0
Why did Shizhi, who had been so affectionate towards me just a moment ago, suddenly become indifferent after I proposed to her? 0
 
 
Moreover, she is not the kind of woman who would say extreme threatening words like "If you don't break up with her, I will..." Why did she say that at the time? Why did she say such intense words? These things, Zhiye only felt wrong when thinking about it now. Suddenly, a flash of insight came to his mind, and he thought of an answer - an absurd but not ridiculous answer - 0
 
 
Shizhi Could it be that she wanted to deliberately provoke him, push him to a dead end, and make him kill her? But is such a thing really possible? And if it were true, why would she do that? Zhiye I remember that evening when he and Shizhi returned to her house, they were still talking and laughing. He really couldn't see that she wanted to die. She became strange after that. Became abnormal after that. And it wasn't just one kind of "abnormal," it was a series of "abnormalities" - starting from the time when Shizhi went to get her clothes, followed by various inconsistencies. So, imagining what happened when she went to get her clothes, it seems reasonable to speculate that something happened at that time that caused her to change. 0
 
 
And "this matter," isn't it the matter of "discovering Liang's body"? Could it be that Liang's death has brought her such a great blow that she can't bear it and wants to seek death? But they are just siblings, and as far as Zhiye knows, their relationship as siblings is not very close. That night, when Shizhi mentioned her brother Liang and let him not lock the door, her expression clearly became cold. Is Liang's death the reason for Shizhi's deep sadness and despair? 0
 
 
What if their relationship is not just that of siblings? The thought crossed Zhiye's mind, prompting a self-deprecating reaction. Just kidding. What other relationship could there possibly be besides that of siblings? 0
 
 
Not just siblings—beyond the relationship of siblings? How is that possible, it's not an ethical film, is it? 0
But... 0
Is it really impossible? Does that possibility really not exist? Isn't it because they are "siblings" that a preconceived impression is formed? Even if they are siblings, they are still male and female. A man and a woman living together in the same house, even if something happens, it's not that unusual—even if they are siblings, even if they are brother and sister. Taking a step back, even if they are not male and female, even if they are of the same sex, whether they are brothers or sisters, is it impossible for that kind of thing to happen? 0
 
 
Furthermore, they are clearly wealthy, so if their relationship is really so bad, why don't they live separately? Why live together? If their feelings are truly bad and they can't stand each other, it would be more normal to live apart, after all, they are both adults with their own income. Preconceived notions. At least, if you think this way, the doubts can be explained—why would Shizhi be so affected by Liang's death. According to the earlier speculation, Shizhi discovered Liang's body when she went to get clothes, but—she didn't call the police. Normally, she should have called the police, but she remained calm. If she had decided to go with her brother at that moment, it wouldn't be surprising. Since they were both going to die, it would be natural not to call the police. 0
 
 
But... 0
It doesn't make sense. 0
If Shizhi and Liang really have that kind of relationship, then why does she still want to be with him, and with Zhiye? 0
 
 
Could it be... 0
Zhiye has thought of a possibility - a very sad possibility. It's also a very natural possibility. 0
Is it true, then? Is that the truth? 0
 
 
Zhiye's mouth curled with a bitter self-mockery. 0
So that's how it is. 0
To me, Shizhi is just a pawn - a pawn used to borrow her father's power. I never thought that to Shizhi, I am just a pawn as well. 0
 
 
Shizhi Haven't you seen through it a long time ago—seen through his true colors, seen through his despicable and shameless nature as a man who only approached her for money, yet she still accepted his pursuit, just—like this... 0
Is it sad?—He only has himself to blame. Zhiye leaned back against the seat as if exhausted. 0
Lü Run absentmindedly looked out the window, not noticing Zhiye's movement. 0
 
 
How much does this police officer really know? 0
He probably just deduced that he killed the poetry weaver, that's all. After all, that's the truth. The victim manipulated the killer into killing himself - that's not something you'd normally think of, right? 0
Oh well, it doesn't matter. 0
 
 
About 20 minutes later, a police car stopped across from the police station. After getting out of the car, Zhiye was in the middle, with Lü Run and Yeh Tung-Chien on either side of him, walking shoulder to shoulder towards the entrance of the police station. Because Zhiye seemed resigned, they didn't handcuff him, not expecting him to resist – but that was a mistake. 0
 
 
A sudden honking sound came from the left. On the other side of the road, a huge snail truck was approaching at a moderate speed. Lu Run and Yeh Tung-Chien naturally stopped in their tracks, but Han Zhiye suddenly rushed into the middle of the road. In an instant, there was no time to stop, no time to grab hold, not even time to shout. Lu Run and Yeh Tung-Chien's nerves tightened in reaction, but by then, Han Zhiye's body had already been crushed under the emergency braking of the snail truck. 0
