Jin Qilin was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "As long as my mother can wake up, I won't force anything else."

However, he knew very well that Song Xiaoyin had been lying in bed for so many years and the chance of waking up again was very slim.

He Shen didn't say anything else. He didn't dare to guarantee that Song Xiaoyin would wake up, so he decided not to let Jin Qilin have too much hope.

After He Shen left the hospital, he immediately went to the Internet cafe and found Jian Keyi.

He had just spent half a day wandering around the various departments of Ningcheng First Hospital. Of course, it was not just to "bump into someone", but more to observe the terrain of the hospital in depth.

He carefully observed the location of the surveillance cameras in the corridor and told Jian Keyi his findings.

Jian Keyi found the surveillance footage of the night when Hu Xiaoting's rescue efforts failed. They watched as Hu Xiaoting was pushed from the hospital gate to the elevator, and then pushed from the corridor to the door of the operating room...

After Hu Xiaoting entered the operating room, there was no surveillance video. A moment later, the rescue operation failed and the doctor came out to announce Hu Xiaoting's death.

He Shen suddenly raised his eyebrows. The person who sent Hu Xiaoting to the hospital was none other than their class teacher.

Although Hu Xiaoting is also a student of Ningcheng University, she is not in their class. Why did their class teacher send her to the hospital?

In addition to the teacher in their class, He Shen also saw someone who surprised him - Liu Xiaohu.

Liu Xiaohu followed the teacher all the time. He kept his head down, and his expression seemed a little hesitant, with a hint of fear.

Liu Xiaohu is He Gao's follower. Although he is just an ordinary beta, he is very good at pleasing He Gao and is loyal to him.

Is there any connection between him and Hu Xiaoting’s death?

He Shen narrowed his eyes. When the doctor announced Hu Xiaoting's death, the expressions of the teacher and Liu Xiaohu were a little strange. They seemed relieved and as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders, but there was no normal sadness.

"There must be something wrong with this guy." Jian Keyi pointed at Liu Xiaohu and said, "You can see that he keeps looking up at the surveillance camera. It's obvious that he is guilty."

Indeed, Liu Xiaohu looked up at the surveillance camera from time to time, and his expression seemed a little frightened.

Unfortunately, apart from these, they have no way to see anything more for the time being.

After checking the hospital's surveillance, He Shen hesitated for a moment and asked Jian Keyi to retrieve the surveillance footage from the day of the funeral at the He family mansion.

Jian Keyi called up the surveillance cameras on the first floor of the He family mansion. He Ting didn't like these high-tech gadgets very much. He only installed surveillance cameras in the yard and on the first floor for the purpose of theft prevention. There were almost no surveillance cameras installed in the living areas above the second floor.

"Skip, skip, keep skipping..."

Jian Keyi listened to He Shen's instructions, a little confused: "What exactly are you looking for? Aren't you looking for those guests?"

He Shen was about to explain, but suddenly he saw something with his sharp eyes: "Stop."

As the surveillance footage paused, He Shen saw Pei Yuan return to the hall after the funeral.

Pei Yuan came to the mourning hall with a pale face, staring straight at He Shen's spirit tablet and urn.

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked He Shen's portrait with his fingertips.

At this moment, the surveillance screen suddenly blurred.

After a few seconds, the surveillance footage was restored.

Pei Yuan withdrew his hand, turned around and left the mourning hall.

He Shen gritted his teeth: "... Damn it!"

Jian Keyi asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

He Shen shouted in disbelief: "He stole my ashes!"

Jian Keyi: “……?”

He didn't react for a moment, until his eyes followed He Shen's finger and fell on Pei Yuan's black mountaineering bag in the surveillance screen.

"What's wrong with this bag?" But he still didn't understand what He Shen meant.

He Shen's eyes widened. The moment Pei Yuan returned to the mourning hall, he realized something was wrong. Why did Pei Yuan suddenly carry a black mountaineering bag? Where did this black mountaineering bag come from?

And just in those few seconds when the surveillance footage was lost, he keenly discovered that the urn on the mourning hall had been replaced. The original urn was smaller, but now this urn was larger, and the pattern was a little different.

"Is it different?" Jian Keyi was not as keen on details as He Shen, and he was a little skeptical. "It was just a few seconds. Is Pei Yuan's hand speed that fast?"

He Shen hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I played games with Pei Yuan. His hand speed is very fast, so a few seconds is enough."

"Isn't he afraid that others will find out?" Jian Keyi still didn't quite believe it. This was simply a fantasy, ridiculous. "Why would he steal your ashes?"

He Shen couldn't believe that Pei Yuan stole his ashes at his funeral, but when he thought of the ashes necklace around Pei Yuan's neck, it was hard for him not to think about it this way.

He said calmly: "No one will find out, whether it's He Ting or Lu Qinqin, they can't find out."

Even though he was He Ting's identified future successor, He Ting valued him only because he was a top alpha. Compared to the identity of "son", he was more like a tool for He Ting to inherit and show off.

Jian Keyi took a breath of cold air: "Hiss, could that guy be a pervert?"

He Shen felt complicated. If the ashes necklace Pei Yuan wore around his neck really contained his ashes...

But whether it is true or not, probably only Pei Yuan knows. Even if he gets the necklace, he can't tell whether the ashes inside are his.

"By the way, this is Qiao Yongzhe's information."

Jian Keyi handed a piece of paper to He Shen, which was what He Shen had asked him to investigate before.

——He Shen suspected that Qiao Yongzhe and Ning Shen’s bullying and death were inextricably linked.

He Shen took the information and started to read it. Qiao Yongzhe came from a well-off family, had a strong desire to show off, and liked to be in the spotlight. He had a group of omegas in school who got along well with him.

This group of omegas are very active and high-profile in school. They often hold parties, participate in social activities, form gangs - and bully people they don't like.

Ning Shen is one of them and also their main "team building" target.

Long before the love letter incident, Qiao Yongzhe had bullied Ning Shen many times, including but not limited to locking Ning Shen in the toilet, throwing away Ning Shen's important belongings, and pouring cold water on Ning Shen.

In addition to Qiao Yongzhe, this group of omegas also includes Ning Shen’s three roommates, Lin Junting, Yang Yihe, and Wang Xin.

The day before Ning Shen committed suicide, these four people tricked Ning Shen into going to the artificial lake in the school, forced him to take off his clothes, and took many photos and short videos.

Those photos and short videos are still saved in Qiao Yongzhe's mobile phone, and Jian Keyi cracked his phone.

In the short video shot by Qiao Yongzhe, He Shen saw Ning Shen, without clothes, screaming and struggling desperately in the artificial lake.

"Help! I can't swim... please... let me get up..."

Ning Shen swam hard to the lakeside, grabbed the rocks on the shore with his hands, and tried to climb up with difficulty.

Qiao Yongzhe laughed loudly, stepped on the back of Ning Shen's hand, and crushed Ning Shen's fingers hard.

"Look at you, you look like a dead pig. I want to vomit just by looking at you. How dare you want to eat swan meat like a toad?"
