Chapter 328: Chapter 326 She is a Criminal_1

A female corpse?

Su Ran’s heart involuntarily shuddered violently.

"Are there any distinctive features..." His voice was very soft, but everyone heard him clearly.

Everyone’s heart also hung in midair with his question; from Su Ran’s expression, they had already guessed the seriousness of the situation.

"She had long hair, but we’ve just discovered it, you should come over to confirm..." The officer’s words made Su Ran’s heart wrench tightly.

Whether it was Wanxia or Bai Yudie, it was something he dared not accept, because the three of them fell from the same place!

"Okay..."

The police officer gave him the specific address, Su Ran noted them down, then ended the call in a daze.

"Xiaoran..." Old Master Su’s voice trembled slightly as he looked at Su Ran’s expression, fearing he’d hear some bad news.

Su Ran glanced at the people in front of him, especially Old Master Su; he simply couldn’t bring himself to tell him the news.

But now, there was no way to hide it.

His eyelashes drooped, and then he said in a low voice, "They said a female corpse was found..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Su’s body visibly shook three times, and both Old Master Mu and Mother Mu widened their eyes in sorrow.

"It’s not confirmed yet, is it?" Hope filled the faces of Old Master Su as he looked at Su Ran.

Su Ran furrowed his brow and nodded.

"Yes, they want us to go and identify..."

Although Shanshan and Yaoyao were young, their conversation had already allowed them to guess what it meant.

Shanshan suddenly burst into loud tears, while Yaoyao’s big eyes were also brimming with tears.

"Shanshan, don’t cry, it definitely won’t be your mommy." Old Master Su stroked her head, his eyes becoming a bit moist.

"Then where is mommy?" Shanshan cried pitifully, "I will never be naughty again, never anger her again, Great-grandpa, can you bring mommy back, please..."

Hearing the little girl’s cries, everyone’s hearts ached, and their throats were too choked up to speak.

How could they not wish for them to come back?

Old Master Su heaved a deep sigh and then pulled Shanshan’s small body into his embrace.

"Be good..."

"Father, Xiaoyun and I will go—look, you all needn’t come," Su Ran said to Old Master Su with an anguished expression.

"No, I’m going with you..." Old Master Su insisted.

Su Ran knew he couldn’t persuade him, so he just silently nodded.

"I’m going as well..." Jian Manhui spoke up.

Su Ran looked at her, a conflict crossing his eyes, eventually unable to stand up to Jian Manhui’s determined gaze, he reluctantly agreed to let her come along.

"Shanshan... you and Yaoyao wait here with your grandma for us to come back, okay?" Old Master Su looked down at Shanshan, then softly negotiated with her.

As soon as Shanshan and Yaoyao heard this, they immediately raised their little faces: "No."

Both of them spoke simultaneously: "We want to go, too."

"Be obedient, you’re still little, wait here for us to come back." Old Master Su was resolute in not letting them go.

He had his reasons for not letting them go; the children were still young, and if it really was... Xiaxia, seeing her would undoubtedly leave a shadow in their hearts.

"I’ll come with you," said Mu’s mother, who apparently got the impression that the old Master Su didn’t want her to go. So she also took a stand. Although Wanxia and Yingchen hadn’t had their wedding yet, Wanxia was already considered her daughter-in-law. No matter what, she had to follow them...

"Alright, since that’s settled, let’s all go. When the time comes, just have the children stay away," Old Master Su said, sounding helpless.

At this moment, asking any of them to stay behind and wait was asking the impossible; they were too anxious. It might be better for all to go and see who the person really was. They all hoped it wasn’t Wanxia...

When Old Master Su heard what was said, he couldn’t help but sigh softly. Then he waved his hand grandly, "Alright, let’s all go then."

Together they followed Su Ran to the location specified by the police officer.

The place was far from where the incident had occurred. After all, they had been searching for a whole day to get here. The water was so rapid and fast; one could imagine how dreadful the conditions were at the time.

The days are longer during the spring and summer seasons, and although it was already 6 p.m., the gloomy sky was still bright.

When they reached their destination, they could see from a distance that many people were gathered on the riverbank, and the area was cordoned off with police tape.

Su Ran’s step faltered, and then he took a deep breath and walked towards the scene.

The police officer recognized him and, seeing a group of people including elders and children approaching, immediately cautioned them.

"I suggest that the elders and children stay back, to avoid getting frightened," he warned.

Su Ran nodded and then turned to look at Old Master Su and the others, "You all wait here; I’ll go and take a look."

Since Shanshan and Yaoyao were with them, Old Master Su also didn’t insist on going forward, and he nodded reluctantly.

But only he knew how tense and frightened he was.

He had already lost a son; he really didn’t want to lose his only granddaughter!

Oh heavens... please protect his granddaughter and keep her safe...

Su Ran walked up nonchalantly; several strands of black hair were visible on the body covered by the white cloth.

His heart throbbed; Wanxia’s hair was also long and black.

His hands involuntarily clenched tight as he slowly crouched down and reached out a trembling finger to lift a corner of the white cloth.

"When we examined her just now, it seemed like her right arm had been hit by a bullet," said the policeman standing beside him, speaking up once more.

Su Ran’s heart returned to its place in a flash, and he felt a surge of relief inside!

He slowly lifted a corner of the white cloth, and the discolored and distorted face of Bai Yudie suddenly came into his view.

He frowned, let go, and the white cloth floated back down over her.

With closed eyes, he let out a heavy sigh. Although it wasn’t Wanxia, the sight of Bai Yudie’s fate still made him unavoidably worried for them.

If Bai Yudie ended up like this after falling from the same place, what about the others?

Where on earth could they be?

Seeing the sorrow on his face, the police officer thought he had found the person they were looking for and said gravely, "Please accept my condolences..."

Su Ran suddenly looked up and glared fiercely at him.

The police officer was baffled by the glare — he had only spoken out of concern, fearing that Su Ran would be too grief-stricken. Why would he glare at him like that?

Let it be, then; he must be in a bad mood and unable to accept the reality.

"The dead cannot be brought back to life; don’t be too sad..." the police officer said to Su Ran again.

Right now, Su Ran felt like punching him twice. He abruptly stood up and said coolly to the officer, "She’s a criminal, not the person we’re looking for..."
