Chapter 452
Not long after her daughter went missing, her husband had already started a new life and erased all traces of his past. On the other hand, she went around in circles and could not escape the punishment that she had imposed on herself.
If she hadn’t worked overtime that day, if she hadn’t sent the contract to the client, would her daughter not have suffered such a fate?
“Mom, when are you coming back? I’ve already finished my homework.
When ZhuZhu’s somewhat childish voice rang out in Zhang Yuqin’s mind, everyone in the theater sighed.
Everyone felt that Zhang Yuqin wouldn’t be able to bear this kind of heavy pressure, but unexpectedly, she held on and turned her resentment and self-blame into motivation.
She actively wanted to participate in the process of the police solving the case, but the police refused to let her in, thinking that she was not in the right state to participate in the case. Besides, she was the victim’s mother, and she was not a police officer, so she had no right to interfere.
However, their actions were too slow. The reply they gave to Zhang Yuqin was always to wait. She was silent day by day. Her eyes were lifeless and cold.
When she raised her head, even Shu Peien felt a little intimidated. It was an indescribable feeling, like a dried black grape that had lost its vitality. It was black and purple, but it didn’t carry any emotion. When she looked at it, it made people feel breathless, sad, and even cold.
She started to look for every suspect and listed them one by one.
Zhao rang had filmed this scene in a very compact yet interesting manner. Every process of eliminating suspicious targets was a huge test for Zhang Yuqin, who was played by Jiang se.
If Shu Peien thought that Jiang SE’s previous acting skills were the best way to match her body language, expression, and psychological reaction, then Jiang SE’s current performance was no less than that of an experienced actor with superb acting skills.
She portrayed Zhang Yuqin, who was like a trapped beast at this time, in a rich and varied way. The ferocity when she found the suspect, the anxiety during the process of elimination, and the pain and anger when she found that her guess was wrong were all in her every move.
She didn’t say a word, but there was an extreme madness in her eyes. Her expression was on point, and her trembling fingers, falling hair, and trembling nose while waiting for the result all added points to her performance.
The audience’s emotions were stirred up by her. They were disappointed with her, angry with her, and distressed.
When she finally found Luo Shen, the suspect, the camera fell on the photo she was holding, and Liu Ye’s face appeared in front of the audience.
He closed his eyes and twitched the right corner of his mouth, trying to show a stiff smile. He wanted to face the camera, but the smile was hard to make people feel warm. Instead, it was a little scary.
At this moment, Shu Peien finally heard a girl exclaim in surprise, ”
“Oh my God, this is Liu Ye?”
He could not help but smile. In fact, he had the same reaction when he first saw Liu Ye.
It was only because he was older that he was able to keep his cool, unlike this little girl who couldn’t help but scream.
Many people clearly did not recognize Liu Ye. The girl could not be blamed for this, as Liu Ye had changed too much.
He had put on at least 20 pounds for the movie. The flesh on his cheeks drooped down, and his hair was a little longer. It was probably a special hairstyle, as he looked a little greasy.
When he was pregnant, it was hard to associate the old man in the movie with the elegant Liu Ye in the impression.
“Luo Shen Qianqian,” Zhang Yuqin softly called the name of the man in the photo. Then, she reached out to touch the edge of the photo and murmured, ”
“Is that you?”
She moved the photo closer to her cheek gently and put her ear close to Liu Ye’s face in the photo. She asked nervously, ”
“Tell me, was that person you? Are you the one who took my daughter away?”
She asked again and again. Her expression was not ferocious, but it made people feel the surging emotions hidden under her gentle expression. Her gaze made people’s hair stand on end.
In fact, with the plot developing to this point, it was not difficult to guess the ending. Without a doubt, even the dullest audience should be able to guess that the murderer who killed ZhuZhu should be Luo Shen, played by Liu Ye.
The director didn’t hide the direction of the movie, and even revealed the identity of the ‘murderer’ to the audience without any suspense.
However, this method of watching the movie raised Shu Peien’s interest.
Due to the intense tension between the male and female leads ‘performances, it had become his real motivation to continue following the series. Watching the scenes between Jiang se and Liu Ye had become both a form of enjoyment and excitement. Shu Peien even felt a little regretful that it was only a movie.
The time was truly too short.
Although there was not much time left, Zhao rang made full use of every minute and second to clear up a line that made Zhang Yuqin suspect Luo Shen.
Zhang Yuqin’s suspicion of Luo Shen wasn’t sudden. When ZhuZhu’s body was found that day, he had appeared at the scene of the crime. Although he wasn’t an employee of the dye factory, his parents used to work in the dye factory. He was very familiar with the terrain of this area.
He knew how to bury the body and how to deal with the body, so no one would find out.
It was just as he had expected. If not for the blockage in the sewage pipes of the dyeing factory, ZhuZhu’s disappearance might not have been discovered years later. It could only be said that everything was too much of a coincidence. Even God was not willing to let this ‘devil’ go.
When Zhang Yuqin investigated step by step, she discovered that ZhuZhu had been violated before she died. She endured her grief and flipped through the books on psychology.
To be able to lay a hand on a girl, it proved that the other party had a certain hidden psychological or even physical illness. So, in order to show off his masculinity, he would turn to bully young girls who were much weaker than him.
After coming to this conclusion, Zhang Yuqin found out that Luo Shen had never been married and had no children. His father had passed away, leaving only his mother.
His neighbors thought that he was an honest and quiet man with a reclusive personality. He did not usually interact with people. He had learned some tailoring skills from his parents and had been making some custom-made clothes for his old neighbors to earn some living expenses.
Such an honest man, who had never caused trouble in his life, who was not eye-catching or even had dealings with people, was the murderer who had killed a young girl.
When it was confirmed that Luo Shen was the real murderer who killed his daughter, Zhang Yuqin held the photo and sighed faintly.
“I’ve found you,”
Her expression was numb as she spoke. The cold light shone on her pale and thin face, adding a bit of horror to it. When she sighed, the hot air she exhaled formed wisps of white mist under the dim light. Her eyes were calm and a little relieved, without any killing intent. However, in the cinema, Shu Peien reached out and stroked his arm.
Jiang SE’s expression when she sighed and the lines she said gave him goosebumps.
At this moment, the male and female leads of the drama were finally about to have an official showdown.
