The night was thick, and the light rain started at some point. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the shining stars were hidden behind the clouds. The occasional stream of light across the sky had a trace of sadness, as if to remind her that the darkness before dawn was about to come.

.

Cheng Siyan said nothing, just stared at her quietly.

"Brother, you knew about this a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?"

Cheng Suiran's grip on his sleeve gradually tightened, with tears in his eyes, he choked and said, "Brother, can you tell me what step you have found?"

"Of course, please calm down first." Cheng Siyan sighed, patted her back, and patiently comforted her: "The evidence we have now is not enough, so just pretend you don't know about this matter, okay?"

"I just want to know what step you have found?"

After she said this, tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. She covered her eyes and her shoulders shook violently: "I just want to know a general direction."

"Now that you know the direction, what do you want to do?"

Cheng Siyan's eyes were extremely dark. He stared at his sister with a pleading face, and his heart ached. His voice slowed down a lot and he said softly: "Of course, you are not suitable to intervene. Just listen to my brother, okay?

?”

Cheng Siyan squatted in front of her, held her cheeks with both hands, and looked into her eyes seriously: "Do you believe brother?"

Cheng Siyan stood nearby and felt very sour. He closed his eyes, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and tried to make his voice calm: "Of course, don't be impulsive, we are already investigating, you just need to wait for the results.

good."

"believe."

After receiving her response, Li Qizhi pushed the door open and walked in. He saw her huddled in the corner, with a look of distress in his eyes. He sat on the edge of the bed and said softly: "Of course, I know everything that happened yesterday, and I'm not afraid anymore.

"

Cheng Siyan sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to rub her head, and said warmly: "Of course, the evidence currently available to my brother is insufficient, so I can't tell you my speculations at will. Can you understand what my brother means?"

The first time she saw the murderer, she felt familiar, but she couldn't remember it. Many fragmentary pictures appeared in her mind, but she couldn't remember the specific details.

Cheng Suiran muttered and repeated in despair, stood up suddenly, with red eyes, and choked with sobs: "Brother, since you don't want to tell me, then I will check it myself. I know you are doing it for my own good, but my father died in front of me back then.

I witnessed my father's death with my own eyes. Over the years, I often dream about my father, and I wake up because of guilt. I just want to know the truth..."

"You know everything?"

"Brother, can you let me know the truth? I'm really in pain..."

"because……"

"How can I wait? Do you want me to pretend that I don't know what to do?" Cheng Suiran looked at him with wide eyes, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said firmly: "Brother, just tell me a general direction, okay?"

The two sat cuddling on the bed for a while, and Li Qizhi suddenly asked: "Did you have another nightmare? Do you want to hold her?"

"Knock, buckle, buckle--" after three sounds.

Cheng Suiran sniffed, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked hoarsely: "Brother, if the murderer is an acquaintance of ours, just answer my question."

——

Li Qizhi's concerned voice came from outside the door: "Of course, are you awake?"

Cheng Si stretched out his long, well-jointed hands, wiped away the tears on her face, and coaxed in a low voice: "Stop crying, be good, Ranran... You believe in brother, he will definitely catch the murderer and uncover the secrets of that night.

the truth."

She stared blankly at the man in front of her.

The more she cried, the harder she cried. She was out of breath from crying. In the end, she almost lost the strength to speak. She slumped on the chair, like a trapped animal on the verge of despair, struggling in pain.

She still had insomnia that night. As long as she closed her eyes, the scene of that rainy night, the scene of her father being killed, and the scene of the man stabbing her appeared in her mind.

"I understand." Cheng Suiran lowered his eyes and asked softly: "Then if my brother has all the evidence, will he tell me the truth about that night?"

Hearing her question, Cheng Siyan was slightly startled. After a while, he said softly, "Yes."

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Of course, I just hope you will always be happy and happy, and don't let any revenge or resentment come in."

Cheng Siyan lowered his eyes to cover up the turbulent waves rolling under his eyes.

"Of course."

"Good boy, go to bed early." Cheng Siyan touched her cheek and said softly: "Stop thinking so wildly. My brother is there for everything, you know?"

She knew that after her brother found out the murderer, if the murderer was an acquaintance of her and her brother, he would definitely not tell her the truth, so... she had to go and investigate on her own.

Cheng Suiran lowered his eyes and said softly: "Well, thank you."

Hearing his voice, Cheng Suiran paused, stunned for a moment, and then answered after a moment: "Yes, I'm awake."

The early morning sunlight filtered into the room through the cracks in the curtains. Cheng Suiran huddled in the corner until the alarm clock rang, and she came back to her senses.

Cheng Suiran's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a slight dimple.

"You lied!" Cheng Suiran stared at him with red eyes: "You know who the murderer was that night, right?"

Cheng Suiran blurted out without thinking, sniffed and said, "But, I also want to know the truth quickly..."

Those eyes were so familiar to her, yet so strange...

"Why?"

"good."

Cheng Siyan took the trouble to persuade her for a long time, and it wasn't until Cheng Suiran's mood gradually calmed down that he let her go.

Hearing his words, Cheng Suiran was stunned.

"Revenge? Resentment?"

Li Qizhi nodded, took her cold hand, and comforted her gently: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

"Of course." Cheng Siyan pursed his thin lips and said with deep eyes: "I don't want you to get too involved in this matter."

"Yeah." Cheng Suiran chuckled and nodded.

Hearing his words, Cheng Suiran's tense body finally collapsed, stretched out his arms, and was held in his arms obediently. She curled up in his arms and sobbed softly, and said in a trembling voice: "When I closed my eyes last night, my mind

It’s all filled with scenes from that night, I’m afraid…”

"Be good, don't be afraid anymore."

Li Qizhi patted her back and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his warm fingertips. With a doting smile on his lips, his voice was extremely gentle: "Don't be afraid, as long as I am here, I will still accompany you as before.

,OK?"

Hearing this, Cheng Suiran raised his head, looked at him with tearful eyes, bit his lip, and asked slowly: "Will you stay with me at night? Just like before, sleep with me and stay by my side.
