Chapter 174: Remaining Memory (Part 2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Erlang only had one sister, so his heart ached for her.
Although he never said anything about Liu Sanniang becoming a psychic, he was still worried about her.
How scary was it to be a psychic and having to face those strange things?
Fortunately, his sister was fated to meet Chu Yan. He didn’t meet Liu Erlang’s standard of a brother-in-law, but at least he was an honest and upright person.
He wanted his sister to marry someone like him who liked smiling so that she could be influenced and smile more.
With Chu Yan’s boring personality, how could he make Liu Sanniang happy?
However, there was no better choice now. In any case, he wasn’t satisfied with Chu Yan. He didn’t know what his parents liked about Chu Yan.
Touching the dog, Liu Erlang smiled even more happily. “Sanniang, touch its feet. They’re so soft.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Second Brother, thank you.”
Both her parents and her brothers doted on her.
They had never had a dog at home, but now, they made an exception for her.
Liu Erlang knew Madam Wei did not like dogs, but for Liu Sanniang, he still brought back one. Madam Wei also made an exception for her precious daughter.
Liu Erlang scratched his head. “Why are you thanking me? Do you feel better now?”
......
Liu Sanniang nodded.
General Black was chubby. When he was full, he would rub his head against people’s palms.
He was very cute.
Liu Erlang smiled. “I knew you’d feel better.”
Liu Erlang stood up and left. Liu Sanniang played with General Black for a while before returning to her room.
After washing up, she lay on the bed. The blanket was soft and warm. Madam Wei had taken it out to dry under the sun today and it was very comfy.
Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but smile. No matter when, the love of her family was always there.
Late at night, Liu Sanniang had a dream.
She was aware that she was in a dream.
This was a quiet village. There was a figure flashing past her. Liu Sanniang frowned and chased after the figure.
When the figure entered the house, Liu Sanniang felt her eyes hurt. She chased after him and saw him standing in the courtyard with a knife in his hand. He collapsed weakly, and the smell of blood filled the air.
Liu Sanniang wanted to walk over to take a closer look, but her vision gradually blurred.
In a daze, she heard some heavenly sounds.
Liu Sanniang woke up from her dream and recalled what she saw in her dream. She felt terrible.
At this moment, it was six in the morning and the sky was still dark. Madam Wei had just woken up and was making breakfast.
Liu Sanniang got up and Madam Wei came out of the kitchen. “Are you going out?”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
Madam Wei opened her mouth, wanting to stop her, but the words were stuck in her throat. She looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Be careful and take care of yourself.”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
She opened the door and walked towards the government office. She wanted to go to the government office quickly. The prophecy in her dream had always been accurate, but she still wanted to catch the murderer and stop him from killing.
When Liu Sanniang arrived at the government office, she realized that Chu Yan had arrived almost at the same time as her. She glanced at Chu Yan. His eyes were gentle. For some reason, Liu Sanniang relaxed.
Wei Shilai had not woken up yet. Officer Zhou asked Liu Sanniang to wait while he went to wake Wei Shilai up.
All the government officers knew Liu Sanniang. Seeing that Liu Sanniang was in a hurry, they couldn’t help but ask. “Miss Liu, is there something urgent?”
Instead of replying, Liu Sanniang asked instead. “How many villages are there in Yong County?”
The officer responded quickly. “There are dozens of them. Why?”
Liu Sanniang frowned. There were dozens of villages. How could she find that place in her dream from these villages?
Seeing Liu Sanniang frown, the officer couldn’t help but feel nervous. “Miss Liu, did something happen?”
Liu Sanniang nodded and asked again. “When did the people come to report the murder case yesterday?”
The officer thought for a moment and answered. “Around ten, the murderer was brought here by several people.”
At that time, the sky would already be bright. As soon as the case was reported, the government office immediately took action.
Officer Zhou soon came back with Wei Shilai.
When Wei Shilai heard that it was Liu Sanniang, he immediately came over. As soon as he entered, he asked. “Miss Liu, did you find something?”
Liu Sanniang said, “Someone died again. I don’t know the exact location. Sir, you can send someone to wait on the way to all the villages. If some people are taking someone to the government office. Get a person to come back to inform us. We’ll rush over immediately.”
When Wei Shilai heard that, he quickly gave the order.
After giving the instructions, Wei Shilai frowned and asked Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, what did you see?”
Wei Shilai had a bad guess. He only hoped that he wasn’t right.
However, what Liu Sanniang said next shattered his hope.
“Another family was massacred,” said Liu Sanniang slowly.
Wei Shilai was so shocked that he could not speak.
The word ‘massacre’ could wake people up from their sleep. The officers on night duty were no longer drowsy and looked nervous.
There were dozens of villages in Yong County. If they were to send people out to watch on the way to these villages, the entire government office would be emptied.
When Zhu Zongyang arrived at the government office, he saw Liu Sanniang and understood it was her doing again without needing to ask.
He was an assistant and did not have to come to the government office so early. Now that he was called over so early, he was not in a good mood. When he saw Liu Sanniang, his mood became even worse.
Zhu Zongyang walked to Wei Shilai’s side and said, “Sir, in my opinion, this case is not that complicated. It’s just that the murderer killed someone and deliberately acted like he doesn’t remember anything.”
Wei Shilai looked at Zhu Zongyang and said seriously, “Assistant Zhu, we haven’t found out the truth yet. It’s too early to draw a conclusion.”
Zhu Zongyang looked at Wei Shilai and lowered his head. “You are right. I should be more careful with my words.”
But he clenched his fists secretly. The magistrate had changed. He was no longer the same person. Ever since he met Liu Sanniang, he had changed completely.
When it came to investigating cases, evidence was important. Even with enough evidence, the magistrate still hesitated to convict the murderer.
Zhu Zongyang couldn’t help but think of the fire in the mortuary a few months ago. If there was more evidence at that time, wouldn’t the magistrate have believed what Liu Sanniang said and convicted Liu Cheng and Liu Shun?
Wasn’t such a thing as psychic ability ridiculous? However, the magistrate actually believed Liu Sanniang and had even recruited her to be the master of the government office. The pay was so generous. In the future, there would be no need for evidence when investigating cases as long as she used her ‘psychic’ ability.
Zhu Zongyang glanced at Liu Sanniang and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. Perhaps it would really be so in the future.
