tw: rape
After learning the truth, Mother Yang almost fainted from crying. She shouted her daughter’s name, but her hoarse and desperate voice only echoed in the small room, unable to reach further. She raised her head and searched the space above, but to no avail. Her daughter was gone, and had completely left this world.
Mother Yang remembered that twenty years ago, when her daughter was still alive, she always liked to follow her around and held her clean up the messy kitchen, bedroom, and living room, while complaining in a doting manner, “Mom, why is your memory so bad? Here, let me apply your essential oil for you. Does your head still hurt now? If I grow up and get married, what will you do? You won’t even be able to find the key to the house, huh?”
Later, after her daughter died, she was so sad that she was sick year round, and her memory worsened to the point that she really couldn’t find the keys to the house. However, she inexplicably obtained the vocal Dafa. No matter what she lost, she just walked around the house twice and shouted a few times, and those objects would appear within her reach.
The ability made her smug, and for a long time, it was her little secret, a little sweetness in her miserable life. Only today did she realize that it wasn’t a Dafa at all, but her daughter who couldn’t let her go, and who had been watching over her and taking care of her!
But what did she do? She forgot her daughter’s hatred, fled far away, and denied her daughter’s existence to everyone around her. She never knew that the entire time she was doing this, her daughter was watching from the sidelines. How pained must her daughter have been? Was it more painful than that rainy night? Was it more painful than having her eyes gouged out and her neck snapped?
Mother Yang couldn’t think about it anymore. She fell to her knees and banged her head against the foot of the table, wishing she could kill herself. How could she have hurt her daughter like that!
“Lan Lan, mom is sorry, mom was wrong, you come back! Please come back!” But it was useless, such shouting had been useless for a long time, just like when her vocal Dafa failed on that day three years ago. How heartbroken must her daughter have been when she broke down and cried because of a remote control? Her daughter hadn’t been avenged yet, how could she die in peace!
“I have a daughter, how could I not have a daughter? I have two children. I had my daughter Yang Shenglan when I was 18, and my son Yang Shengfei when I was 28. I have two children, and they’re both my babies, especially my daughter. She is well-behaved, understanding, obedient, good at studying, and very beautiful. She always stuck close to me, and was the most caring. My daughter’s name is Yang Shenglan. Sir, I have a daughter.”
She looked at Fan Jialuo and begged, “That’s right, she was raped and killed. I want to avenge her. I want to find her murderer. Sir, please help me!” She didn’t have a single doubt about the young man’s ability. She was the only one who knew the things he revealed. She had never even mentioned a word to her son, including the time when she broke down crying.
Fan Jialuo shook his head and spoke with regret, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”
Mother Yang crawled to the young man on her knees and cried, “How come, when you can see my daughter’s existence! You saw her, didn’t you? Please help us!” She hurriedly grabbed her son and forced him to kneel beside her. She held his head down so he was bowing, as if assuming this position on the dusty ground could bring her daughter back.
The surrounding people all turned their heads away with tears in their eyes, unwilling to keep watching, but also unable to look away. Even Zhuang Zhen’s eyes had reddened. Only Song Rui covered his face with his hands and avoided the camera. Unfortunately he really couldn’t empathize with this tragic scene, but to make him feel apologetic for it was no small feat.
“I only saw a remnant of what she left behind. That day was too painful for her, and no matter how much she had left, she already took them all away.” Fan Jialuo looked down at Mother Yang with a compassionate gaze, but his words were very cold as he continued, “You gave up on her long ago, and she also gave up on herself, so it’s better to forget it.”
“It can’t be counted! It can’t be counted! I never gave up on her, I didn’t!” Mother Yang held the necklace and shouted, repeating over and over again, “I can’t give up, I mustn’t give up! I want to avenge my daughter!”
Yang Shengfei took two steps forward on his knees, gritted his teeth, and kowtowed to Fan Jialuo, but just as he lowered his head, it was caught by the other party’s cool palm.

Fan Jialuo stared at them steadily with a compassionate light in his eyes, and finally sighed. “Since you are unwilling to give up, let’s try the last method.”

“Don’t you need a ceremony?” Mother Yang’s voice trembled slightly from excitement and longing.
“No need, faith alone is enough.” Fan Jialuo touched between his brows, his voice soft as he said, “A strong enough faith is the best ceremony, understand?”
“I understand! I understand!” Mother Yang nodded and pressed her forehead to the cold necklace. She choked back a sob and said, “Lan Lan, come back, mom is waiting for you here! Lan Lan, Yang Shenglan, do you hear me? Mom never disliked you. For you, mom and your grandparents quarreled countless times. Mom hates them for always calling you ugly. Mom never thought you were ugly, Mom was just in too much pain. It was so painful that I was almost unable to live on! It’s not that Mom is unwilling to mention you, it’s that Mom doesn’t dare to mention you, because whenever she thinks of you, her heart is torn, and it’s painful enough to kill her! Mom wishes she could die in order to exchange for your life! The pain that you suffered, Mom suffers them for you every night in her dreams! Mom wishes that those dreams were true, and I was the one who suffered, not my daughter, and that I was the one who died, not my daughter. Mom is in too much pain, and your name is like a steel knife, capable of digging my heart out! Wuwuwu…… Yang Shenglan, come back, Mom will give you her life!”
Mother Yang cried and fell atop her son, her breaths gradually weakening.
Yang Shengfei looked up and shouted repeatedly, “Sister, come back! I swore in front of your grave that I would avenge you! For you, I studied hard and applied to the police academy despite Dad’s opposition, so I can now help you arrest the villain! Did you see that? Fei Fei has grown up, but Fei Fei hasn’t forgotten you for a second! Sister, Yang Shenglan, come back, please come back!”
The two looked around frantically while shouting loudly, while Fan Jialuo kept his eyes closed, as if he was sensing something. Mother Yang’s body was trembling and she supported her head, as if she was about to faint, when he suddenly whispered, “Here she comes.”
“What?” Mother Yang, who was on the verge of fainting, couldn’t help but feel her spirits rise.
“Your daughter seems to have heard your words.” Fan Jialuo opened his eyes, and a mysterious light shone from his pupils.
Mother Yang looked at him in a daze, and then shouted in a panic, “The necklace, the necklace is glowing!”
Yang Shengfei also stared blankly at his hand covering his mother’s palm, his expression astonished. The necklace was really burning, and the temperature continued growing hotter and hotter, as if it was about to ignite, but in the others’ eyes, it still maintained its original appearance, silver, cold, with nothing special.
Faced with such a bizarre event, the mother and son were dumbfounded. The rest of the people in the room were also stunned.
Zhuang Zhen’s brows furrowed, obviously doubtful of the words of the mother and son, but he couldn’t bear to expose them in front of the others. He thought it was a very successful hypnosis, and the necklace was a hypnosis prop. Being able to successfully perform this devilish trick twice under his nose, he had to admit Fan Jialuo was skilled.
Fan Jialuo gently held the mother and son’s joined hands together and instructed, “Close your eyes and sense the information she brought you. You must remember what you see, you can’t forget it.”
“Oh oh! I understand, I understand!” Mother Yang and Yang Shengfei were like two puppets doing whatever Fan Jialuo instructed. At this time, they quickly closed their eyes and sensed the information with their hearts. Gradually, their expressions grew calm and serene, and they even revealed two peaceful smiles, as if the past years had been carefree.
Worried that they would indulge in it, Fan Jialuo reminded again, “Tell me what you see, in as much detail as possible.”
Mother Yang was fascinated by her daughter’s energetic smile. As a police officer, Yang Shengfei had better self control and began to slowly describe what he saw, “I, my perspective is very strange. I saw myself, and my mom. They walked in front of me, smiling and talking about something. I am very small, not very tall, and my mom picked me up with one hand……”
He lowered his head with his eyes closed, then slowly raised it again and said with sudden realization, “I get it! I am in my sister’s body, and everything I see is from her perspective. She is wearing a bright red dress that my aunt brought her from Hong Kong. This dress is unique in our whole town, and everyone complimented her beauty when she walked down the road. I can sense her mood. She was very happy and wanted to wear this dress to walk around the town for everyone to see. This is, this is the day she was killed……”
Yang Shengfei’s expression suddenly grew extremely frightened, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. However, what Mother Yang saw was completely different from him. She suffered from a serious heart disease in recent years, so everything she was was beautiful and peaceful, the happy past of their family.
Mother Yang was smiling, but Yang Shengfei began to struggle. “She is taking a lunch box to the steel factory to deliver Dad’s meal. No, don’t go! You can’t go! I, I can’t control her body!”
Fan Jialuo held the hands of the mother and son with one hand while gently holding down Yang Shengfei’s shoulder with the other to calm him down.
Everyone in the testing room began to lean forward, staring at Yang Shengfei intently. Song Rui even took out his notebook and quickly recorded the case. Only Zhuang Zhen supported his forehead with one hand while tapping the table with the other, appearing very impatient. He guessed that before the tragedy actually occurred, Yang SHengfei would wake up, and he would not see anything substantial. These so-called psychic acts were nothing not more than tricks to deceive people. They dug out the inner secrets of those seeking their help and interpreted them on their own. The answers they found were simply fictitious, and there was no meaning to them, let alone providing help to solve the case.
However, he guessed wrong. Yang Shengfei didn’t wake up, but hidden in his sister’s body, he walked into the steel factory from twenty years ago.
“After delivering the meal to Dad, my sister walked out along a deserted path. There were footsteps following behind her, but just as my sister was about to turn around, she passed out! At that moment, the back of her head hurt, she was hit! She’s gone!” Yang Shengfei also showed a painful expression as he spoke.
Song Rui marked this description with a wavy line because it was very important.
Zhuang Zhen’s impatient expression froze on his face, and the hand that was knocking on the table unconsciously stiffened.
Yang Shengfei continued, “Sister woke up, but she couldn’t see or shout. Her eyes were blindfolded by cloth strips, and her mouth was stuffed with something that stank. It smelled like a mix of kerosene, coke, and the scent after not bathing for many days. She had no way to struggle because she was tied up, with her hands, feet, and body folded up and put in a sack. Her clothes were also gone, and the rough sack rubbed against her body, bringing a stinging pain. There was so much weight on top of her that it was difficult for her to breathe. She was scared, very very scared, and she was shouting our names in her head, over and over again!”
Yang Shengfei’s eyes had just dried after crying, but two more lines of tears flowed down. However, his mother sitting beside him was smiling happily. Yang Shenglan showed them two completely different scenes.
Song Rui wrote down the eleven words [Clothes were stripped, testimony may be wrong] in his notebook and handed it to Zhuang Zhen. Zhuang Zhen understood it with just a glance, a gloomy expression on his face.
The police officer in charge of investigating the case had visited the employees of the steel factory back then. Many people said that they saw Yang Shenglan leave the factory after delivering a meal to Father Yang, because her red dress was very beautiful and unique in the whole town, causing it to be fresh in everyone’s minds. Residents near the steel factory also said, “I saw a girl in a red dress walking down the street with a bounce in her step. She appeared very lively, and it was certainly Yang Shenglan.”
As a result, that year the police deduced—Yang Shenglan met the murderer in the suburbs, and the steel factory employees were completely ruled out as suspects.
However, through Yang Shengfei’s narration, Song Rui discovered that this inference was incorrect. Yang Shenglan was knocked unconscious in the steel factory and stripped of her clothes. Her clothes were worn by someone else, thus misleading all the witnesses. And because of the testimonies of these witnesses, the police made an incorrect judgment. Who was the person who wore the red dress? This was a huge mystery, and would also be the key to solving the case!
Zhuang Zhen gripped the corner of the notebook tightly, the veins on the back of his hand appearing due to the force he was using. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he knew that the scenes Yang Shengfei were describing were reasonable, and even addressed their previous doubts they were unable to clear up. All of the previous speculations based on the eyewitness testimonies were negated by these words, yet they brought a sense of clarity, as if this was the truth!
Zhuang Zhen exhaled, finally willing to listen carefully to Yang Shengfei’s words, and also realizing that this so-called hypnotic suggestion might not be just a hypnotic suggestion.
Yang Shengfei continued to narrate, “The weight on my sister is increasing, and I can feel that she is almost unable to bear it anymore. The weight increases little by little, and every time it becomes heavier, there is the sound of footsteps. The weight is very hard, causing her entire body to ache, and the smell is very pungent, it’s…coke! I recognize this smell. Every winter, my family burns coke obtained from the steel factory!”
Song Rui took back his notebook from Zhuang Zhen, and wrote one stroke at a time: [She was knocked out and placed in a sack, and hidden in the area in the steel factory where the coke was stored. Her clothes were worn by someone else, so there was a collective error in the testimonies of the witnesses. The investigation went astray from the very beginning. The murderer was someone in the steel mill, not some random man on the street.]
Zhuang Zhen picked up the pen and wrote down a line that carried great weight: [The truth of these words can only be confirmed after the investigation.]
Song Rui narrowed his eyes with a look of mockery.
Yang Shengfei’s cheeks began to flush as he struggled to stretch his neck and catch his breath. “Sister can’t breathe, and she’s about to be crushed to death! She, she fainted, and when she woke up, she still felt the weight on her body, but it wasn’t as unbearable anymore. Her body is shaking, bumping up and down, as if she’s in a car, no, not a car.” Yang Shengfei tilted his head, as if listening to something, and then said with certainty, “It’s a bicycle, a three-wheeled tricycle to be precise! It’s a three-wheeled tricycle dragging a bucket of coke. It’s riding a long, long way. Someone greeted the cyclist, but my sister couldn’t breathe, so her ears were buzzing, and she couldn’t hear at all. She tried, but she was tied up and crushed for too long. All the blood in her body was coagulated, and she couldn’t feel anything at all!”
Yang Shengfei burst into tears. He could never have imagined the pain and despair his sister felt at that time without having experienced the encounter himself.
“The bastard has finally stopped. He removed the coke from on top of my sister, opened the sack, and dragged my sister out. This entire time, he didn’t speak, and the silence was terrible! Ah! Ahhhh!” Yang Shengfei began to roar, all the muscles in his body twitching and trembling, but because of Fan Jialuo’s hand gently pressing down on his shoulder, he couldn’t struggle violently, and he didn’t throw away the necklace.
“Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!” He cried and cursed three times in a row, his voice full of bitter hatred as he continued, “He’s gouging out my sister’s eyes! He’s beating her, abusing her, torturing her, choking her, stop it! Stop it…… Sister, sister cannot take it anymore. He grabbed her ankle and dragged her a long distance. There was a lot of gravel on the ground which scratched her back, as if sharp blades were scraping her skin. However, she was in such extreme pain that she could no longer feel anything. She was thrown in the river, washed many times, and then thrown in a damp place. She was violated once again, and cold drops of water the size of beans fell. It was raining, and my sister’s neck was snapped……”
Yang Shengfei finally let go of his mother’s hand, lay on the ground, and cried bitterly. “Sister is dead. She was tortured to death……”
Meanwhile, Mother Yang was holding the necklace and smiling happily. The mother and son’s diametrically opposite actions were like an absurd drama, and inexplicably uncomfortable to watch! Even after she died, Yang Shenglan still cared for her mother with her unique tenderness. She then gently hugged her younger brother, and left like the wind.
The soul invocation ceremony was not led by Fan Jialuo, but the shock he brought to everyone was difficult to describe in words.
Song Wennuan appeared stunned, and tears fell unknowingly down her cheeks.
All of the staff who witnessed the scene through the monitor were also crying, and their hearts burned with rage. What kind of devil would do such a cruel thing! He must be caught! He must!
Song Rui pushed his notebook to Zhuang Zhen, which clearly stated: [Suspect: steel factory employee, taciturn, dull. Job description is porter, boiler worker, or purchaser. Physically strong, hardworking, popular, good reputation, an older man liked by everyone. Between the ages of 30 and 45 at the time of the crime, living alone or widowed. The whereabouts of the red dress must be found, which may provide you with more powerful evidence.]
Zhuang Zhen took the notebook and read it before looking at the handsome young man sitting opposite him, the emotions in his eyes incredibly complex. If these words had come from Fan Jialuo’s mouth, he might have been suspicious, but Yang Shengfei himself described the scenes, and he knew his colleague very well. If he had known the truth back then, how could he have struggled hopelessly for more than a month?
Zhuang Zhen tried to find an obvious flaw to refute these words, but he couldn’t find one. Those cruel details, one by one, all matched the forensic autopsy report! There were many descriptions that only the dead victim and murderer could know!
Therefore, this soul invocation ceremony was very likely to be real! This knowledge completely overturned Zhuang Zhen’s three views, and caused him to feel confused and overwhelmed for the first time.
Fan Jialuo did it again! 😆ILY!!!
Whoever killed YSL better be alive right now so I could see his demise! A simple death by old age or disease is not enough for him, he needs torture!!!💀💀💀 (I am so aggressive today…)
Thank you for the update! 🥰🥰🥰
This Zhuang Zhen never learns until he sees the coffin
Ahhhhhhhh!
3 views successfully crushed again 🤟🏾
God damn finally he was making me mad
this is toooo muccchchchhchhc😭😭😭😭😭
