The fruit knife punctured the calf.
I limped alone and ran downstairs to the clinic to get bandaged.
But on the way home, he was suddenly dragged into a deserted alley by a group of criminals.
They grabbed my hands and feet and humiliated me.
I tightly covered my stomach.
Before I died, I risked my life to call Jiang'an River.
I called again and again.
Time and time again, hung up.
Until the moment I gasped for breath, a new message popped up on my phone.
"Ho Nian, don't expect me to forgive you unless you personally come over and apologize to Ru Ru."
My phone got stuck by that group of people and was thrown into the sewer.
I am floating on the side.
I watched with sadness as they chopped my body into several pieces, divided them and threw them into the sewer.
Jiang'an River will never know.
My distress call was repeatedly hung up by him, how despairing it must have been at that time.
They will never hear my apology again.
When Jiang'anhe rushed back to the special investigation team, the police were piecing together my body.
At first, someone discovered the bloodstains at the crime scene.
Later, someone discovered my incomplete body.
When I saw my body, the detective team members were attacked by the smell and vomited in the dark.
The assistant handed over the information to Jiang'an River in advance.
He put on gloves and a mask, examined the condition of the body, and tried to resist nausea while analyzing.
"The deceased was a female, aged between 24 and 27 years old."
"The deceased suffered multiple injuries and excessive blood loss."
"Additionally, the deceased's lower abdomen was damaged and there were bleeding points..."
Jiang'an River paused for a moment, supplement.
"It's highly likely that she's still two months pregnant."
This statement came to fruition.
The criminal police officers around took a deep breath of air.
"What a beast!"
"It's simply unbearable, even pregnant women are not spared!"
"And no matter how it looks, it seems like a deliberate murder!"
They all speculated that Jiang'an River's gaze fell on my body.
Eyebrow furrowed slightly, lost in thought.
"It seems that... there are two missing fingers in the right hand."
Everyone just realized that their right hand is missing the ring and index fingers.
My heart also pounded.
I have a small black mole on my right ring finger, like a small ring.
Are those thugs afraid of being recognized, so they specifically took their fingers away?
I drifted aside, staring closely at the reaction of Jiang'an River.
He
Can you recognize me?
"Has anyone reported a case in the past few days?"
Jiang'anhe took off his gloves and casually asked.
He is indeed very intelligent.
If someone nearby reports a missing person, it is highly likely that they are the victim's family members, which greatly reduces the scope of identity confirmation.
Xiaodong, the disciple of Jiang'an River, shook his head and handed him a towel.
"The cases reported in the past few days are not cases of disappearance."
Jiang Anhe nodded and said, "Then let's wait a little longer. First, take the victim's organization to test DNA."
Suddenly, Jiang'an River's phone rang.
The news of Qin Ru popped up.
It's a selfie of Qin Ru wearing a playful camisole dress, cooking soup in the kitchen.
"Anhe, come to my place for dinner after you finish your work. I have specially cooked your favorite mushroom soup."
Upon seeing the news from Xiaoqingmei, Jiang'anhe's furrowed brow relaxed, and even his gaze softened a bit.
I stared at him in a daze.
Married for three years, Jiang'an River was also so kind to me at first.
The eyes that look at me are always full of tenderness.
He will personally cook soup for me and also cook dishes that I like light flavors.
I like to watch concerts, and he would wait until early in the morning to help me grab tickets. Even though he had dark circles under his eyes, he didn't care.
After work, he always gently embraces me and holds me in his arms.
He also said, "Nian Nian, let's have our own child in a while. I hope she can be as cute as you."
I have always longed for our happiness, just continue like this.
But such happiness was soon shattered.
The turning point was when Qin Ru's parents had an accident, and she returned from abroad in a disheveled state without anyone to take care of her.
The Jiang'an River, which was originally full of heart and eyes on me, started not returning home every now and then.
At first, he would explain to me, "Nian Nian, I can't accompany you to the movies today. Qin Ru has a high fever, and the doctor said she doesn't have much will to survive. I need to take care of her."
Qin Ru grew up with Jiang Anhe from a young age.
He said that Qin Ru's parents helped him a lot when he was young. Now that Qin Ru has an accident, he cannot let it go.
I also understand him and try to understand him.
Until he became more and more excessive, became more and more concerned about Qin Ru, and even shifted all his thoughts to her.
Jiang Anhe's gaze towards Qin Ru became increasingly indulgent.
Every time we watch a movie, he always takes Qin Ru with him.
Every time I eat, I also give Qin Ru some vegetables to eat.
Because of these things, I have had many arguments with Jiang'an River.
He looked at me with a headache in his eyes, frowning and explaining, "What do you mean, I've told you many times that Ru Ru is my sister and she's quite clingy. Can you stop thinking too much?"
But he had no idea at all.
Qin Ru's naughty actions.
She specifically posted on my visible social media, "What belongs to me will eventually come back to me."
I deleted her and blocked her.
She quietly provoked me in front of me and said, "Nian Nian Jie, An He gives me a birthday gift every year. What about you?"
I clenched my fists, trying to hold back not a single punch.
She deliberately pretended to be sick and called Jiang'an River away on my birthday, while also stealing my birthday gift.
The necklace that was supposed to be given to me was worn by her neck.
"Miss Nian Nian, I just said 'it looks good' and An He gave me this necklace. Do you think it looks good?"
I couldn't help but punch it.
The next day, Jiang'an River came running with a fierce momentum to raise a teacher and ask for punishment.
"Ho Nian, why are you becoming increasingly unreasonable now!"
"Ru Ru just likes that necklace. Anyway, you have so many, what about giving it to her?"
I looked at him coldly, feeling a bit dazed for an instant.
Just recently.
He constantly praises me for being gentle and lovely.
When the balance in his heart no longer leans towards me, no matter what I do, he won't dislike it.
Facing Qin Ru's invitation to make soup, Jiang Anhe smiled and replied, "Okay."
His hand paused, kept swiping, and clicked on the chat record with me.
We haven't talked for several days.
The last message still lingers when I ask him, "When will you be back tonight?"
He didn't respond.
That night, he was called to handle Qin Ru's personal matters again.
Jiang'an River's eyebrows furrowed tightly, as if displeased.
Before, it was me who took the initiative to send him messages. He would reply whenever he wanted, and if he wasn't in the mood, he wouldn't reply.
Every time I argue, it's always me bowing my head to show goodwill.
But this is the first time we've been in a cold war for so many days, and I still haven't lowered my head to him.
He always tells me not to come and disturb him.
I really won't disturb him now, he should be happy.
But at this moment, his brow furrowed as if he had encountered something difficult.
Fingers tapped on the screen, typed several words, hesitated for a moment, and then deleted them again.
It was a long time before he sent a message.
"Have you figured out how to apologize to Ru Ru?"
He waited for 5 minutes, glanced at his phone, but there was no response.
Half an hour later, there was still no response.
Jiang Anhe angrily put down his phone and said, "I'd like to see how hard you can hold on."
At this moment, a colleague ran in with a package in hand.
"Anhe, it seems to be sent to you."
"Look at the signature above, it should be from your sister-in-law, right?"
Jiang'anhe frowned and took it over, glanced casually, and then opened the box.
Inside is the anniversary gift I prepared a week in advance.
On our third anniversary of marriage, we usually give each other gifts every year.
Until Qin Ru returned, Jiang'an River was always busy, so busy that she forgot.
But I am still the same as before.
This gift is a U-shaped latex pillow. Every time Jiang'anhe is busy with work and takes a nap, he just lies on the table to make do with it. After a long time, his cervical spine has always been poor.
I took two weeks to choose this one.
"Anhe, this kid is too lucky!"
"My sister-in-law is so considerate, unlike my wife who doesn't care about me at all!"
But Jiang'an River's expression was cold, and a hint of sarcasm flashed at the corner of his mouth.
"She will play these little tricks."
As he spoke, he casually threw the U-shaped latex pillow aside and never looked at it again.
"Don't you want it?" My colleague was surprised, "I'll take it if you don't want it."
The head of Jiang'an River has not been lifted.
"I'm too lazy to use the things that woman sent me."
"If you like it, take it."
