Suddenly, a hand reached out and covered Jiang Cheng's eyes.

At the same time, a soft, tickling voice came to his ear, "Why aren't you asleep yet?" Lin Wan'er blinked, staring at him.

They were sleeping in the same bed. Jiang Cheng was very close to the edge, giving most of the space to Lin Wan'er beside him.

Strands of hair were scattered across half of Lin Wan'er's face, her eyes revealing a hazy look, and deep within them seemed to be starlight.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, then turned over and closed his eyes.

When the time came, Huai Yi woke Jiang Cheng, reminding him to be extra careful and to wake everyone up if anything happened.

Wei Wei hadn't slept the whole time. It was as if she only came back to her senses when Jiang Cheng patted her.

Jiang Cheng knew it was probably because of Du Feng's death.

To have someone familiar die in front of you like that, and in such a tragic way, the impact on an ordinary woman was unimaginable.

She had already done very well.

The night passed without any abnormalities besides the sound of wind and rain outside the window, and as dawn approached, the rain actually stopped.

While Huai Yi and the others got up, Jiang Cheng lay in bed for a while longer. The events of the past two days had taken a toll on his energy.

When he got up again, everyone was gathered together eating breakfast.

Huai Yi had bought breakfast from a nearby stall: steamed buns, millet porridge, and hot soy milk.

He and Cao Yang had just returned from outside.

"The security guard on night duty at the hospital is missing," Huai Yi said, taking a sip of porridge. "The hospital has already organized a search party."

It probably wouldn't be long before they called the police.

And at this time, attracting the police, he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"We also joined the search for a while." At this point, Cao Yang's expression became strange, and he looked at Jiang Cheng, saying, "There were also two doctors with us, and we discovered something while chatting with them."

"This hospital isn't as good as it looks," Cao Yang said in a low voice. "The hospital has been struggling for a long time, many people have resigned, and the current employees are all older. The hospital hasn't been able to recruit new people for a long time."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately thought of Zhao Ru.

According to her, she was a new intern at the hospital and had only been there for a short time.

Cao Yang was obviously trying to remind him of this.

"We didn't directly inquire about the little nurse," Cao Yang said in a low voice, "for fear of stirring up trouble."

Turning his head, looking at the gradually clearing sky outside the window, Jiang Cheng said, "Today we'll go out to look for clues. We need to get to the bottom of the woman's identity and Zhao Ru's background."

"We were thinking the same thing." Cao Yang stuffed half a bun into his mouth, mumbling, "We found an address in the archives that might be the dead woman's."

After discussion, Jiang Cheng and Lin Wan'er would investigate the dead woman's situation, while Huai Yi and Cao Yang would investigate Zhao Ru.

This little nurse seemed to have a strange hostility towards Director Qi, often drawing their attention to him.

If it was simply to divert their attention, that would be one thing, but Jiang Cheng felt that this matter was not so simple.

Moreover... he was very curious about Zhao Ru's purpose.

Based on her age, she shouldn't be related to the case 18 years ago. Even if she was, it could only be a feud from the previous generation.

Yu Yu, Wei Wei, and Wang Changguo would continue to stay in the hospital and gather clues.

That was the plan, but Jiang Cheng and the others didn't have much hope for them. Ever since Du Feng died, Wei Wei's mental state had been off, and Wang Changguo didn't want to leave the ward for even a step.

"Come back early," Yu Yu said with concern, "and be careful."

With the money Huai Yi gave him in his pocket, Jiang Cheng and Lin Wan'er took a taxi near the hospital and got out in front of a residential area.

The environment of the residential area looked good, but the facilities seemed a bit old, and the location was relatively remote, but 10 years ago, it would have been considered a relatively high-end residence.

The security booth in front was long abandoned, and the glass was so dirty that you couldn't see through it.

After Jiang Cheng approached, he found a table and a chair lying on the ground in the booth, along with scattered lunch boxes and waste paper.

It looked like it hadn't been touched for at least a few years.

After entering the residential area, they found that the first few buildings were normal residential buildings, but after these buildings, there were villas.

The villas had a small yard in front, surrounded by walls. Since it was early morning, there weren't many people around. Two old men were playing chess by the street.

There were also a few people watching.

It was obvious that most of the people living in this area were elderly. There were very few younger people, after all, the location was relatively remote, as the driver had mentioned when they came.

According to the address given, Jiang Cheng stopped in front of a villa.

The villa gate was tightly closed. The original dark green anti-rust paint on the iron gate had peeled off in large areas, and it was now covered in rust.

One of the two lamps on the wall next to the gate had its lampshade broken, and the other was missing even its base, probably stolen.

Squatting down, through the gap in the door, they could see that the villa inside was also in a dilapidated state.

There was a dead tree in the yard, with a plastic bag hanging from its branches.

A gust of wind blew by, making a rustling sound.

Several wooden chairs were lying on one side of the yard, and there was also a very small water feature, but it was now dry.

To the right of the pool was a swing.

One of the ropes on the swing was broken, and only the other side was still hanging. Although it had been a long time, it was still possible to see that the swing had been painted pink.

And based on its height, it was a children's swing.

The owners should have a child.

"Hey!" A voice sounded from behind, very suddenly.

Jiang Cheng immediately turned around and found an old man sitting across the street.

The old man didn't seem to be in good health. He was sitting in a wheelchair, staring at them with a cold face. "Who are you?"

"We heard that the atmosphere here is very good, and we wanted to take some photos." Lin Wan'er casually flicked her hair and nodded politely to the old man.

Seeing Lin Wan'er's face, the old man's originally irritable nature was suppressed a lot. After looking at Jiang Cheng with an inexplicable gaze, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "You're here to take wedding photos, right?"

The old man raised his hand, pointing in a direction, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Go there to take them, not around here."

Lin Wan'er blinked her beautiful eyes and looked back at the abandoned villa, showing a curious look. "Is there something wrong here? I think it has a lot of character."

It was obvious that the old man was a little impatient, but for Lin Wan'er's sake, he lowered his voice and reluctantly replied, "That villa is unlucky, especially for young people like you who are about to get married, it's not good."
