Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 453 Resentment
Jiang Kaiji recalled Tian Hao's serious demeanor earlier and complained, "It's just a few pieces of broken glass. Even if we can analyze what brand of phone the murderer used, we might not be able to find him, right?"

Jin Ping'an ignored Jiang Kaiji.

He pulled out the broken glass and immediately began the process of rewinding.

Overwhelmed by hatred and anger, Jin Ping'an no longer cared that Jiang Kaiji was still by his side.

I don't know if it was due to my emotions or some other reason.

Jin Ping'an's retrospective process unfolded exceptionally quickly.

The scene that greets the eye is of a doctor treating one's wounds, followed by a scene of oneself being put into an ambulance.

As time continued to pass, the image of Cheng Lejia's death resurfaced.

Jin Ping'an's heart skipped a beat, and he closed his eyes to skip this part of the record.

Because once he enters that world, no matter what methods he uses, he will never forget the scene of Cheng Lejia's death.

Most of the time, mobile phones are kept in pockets or boxes.

After jumping to the scene of Cheng Lejia's death, Jin Ping'an tries to access a record of a cell phone being used.

However, in that record, Fang Donghai was wearing a mask and there was no useful information.

Jin Ping'an continued to move forward the timeline until the day Fang Donghai went to the villa area.

Upon seeing the screen where the call had been connected, Jin Ping'an decisively seized the opportunity to enter.

But as soon as he entered this record, he was stunned as if struck by lightning.

"Hello Captain Shi, I have a collaboration idea here, I wonder if you'd be interested."

"explain."

"We just dealt with Cheng Lejia's housekeeper. Once the police receive the news, they'll definitely put him under their protection, right?"

"What do you need me to do?"

"Hehehe... It's so comfortable talking to smart people. I want you to take Cheng Lejia to your Shi family's territory and protect her..."

A single phone call, a few words, dragged Jin Ping'an into an unfathomable abyss.

Disturbed by intense emotional fluctuations, he violently ended the regression.

“Why…why!!!”

Jin Ping'an grabbed a stool next to the hospital bed and started smashing things in his path.

“Why! Why!! Why!!!”

Jiang Kaiji was startled by Jin Ping'an's sudden outburst, but he was also concerned about Jin Ping'an's injuries and dared not hold him down directly.

All he could do was grab Jin Ping'an's arm and shout, "Ping'an! Calm down!"

Jin Ping'an did not answer Jiang Kaiji. Instead, like a madman, he used one hand to lift a chair and smash the medical equipment, the vase, and the window glass.

Finally, she knelt down, covered her face, and sobbed softly, "Why... why did you betray us, Captain Shi... why..."

Jin Ping'an's tone revealed a chilling despair, which even made Jiang Kaiji, who was unaware of what was going on, feel a chill down his spine.

"What did you say happened to Captain Shi? Betrayal? What betrayal?"

Jiang Kaiji asked cautiously.

Jin Ping'an remained silent and refused to look up for a long time.

When he raised his eyes again to meet Jiang Kaiji's gaze, his eyes were already filled with distance and wariness.

At this moment, in Jin Ping'an's eyes, apart from Tian Hao, whom he had completely retraced, he would not trust anyone else.

Even Jiang Kaiji, who had once fought alongside him and passed his own scrutiny.

Unsure of Jin Ping'an's mental state, Jiang Kaiji took out his phone to make a call.

But Jin Pingan snatched the phone as soon as it was unlocked.

Jin Ping'an pulled out his contacts, his finger hovering over the number labeled "Team Leader Shi".

But he hesitated for a long time and did not press the button.

Finally, Jin Ping'an made up his mind and smashed his phone to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

The fact that Jin Ping'an dialed the number to question Shi Hongfang shows that, subconsciously, he still doesn't believe Shi Hongfang would betray them.

But if the other party has truly betrayed you, dialing this number would be like walking into a trap.

Smashing his phone signifies Jin Ping'an's complete despair towards Shi Hongfang.

This was also to prevent Jiang Kaiji from tipping off the team.

Although Jin Ping'an didn't know why the other party hadn't killed him, he would never again naively entrust his safety to someone else.

Having suffered many losses, Jin Ping'an finally began to learn his lesson.

Jiang Kaiji was completely dumbfounded.

Damn it! My phone!
As Jiang Kaiji bent down to pick up his phone with a pained expression, Jin Ping'an suddenly hugged Jiang Kaiji's waist.

Jiang Kaiji thought Jin Pingan had gone crazy and was having a mental breakdown, so he planned to hug himself and cry for a while.

So he hesitated for a moment, then reached out to put his arm around Jin Ping'an's shoulder.

But as Jiang Kaiji reached halfway out, he suddenly felt a lightness around his waist, as if a weight had been removed.

Before he could think it through, Jin Ping'an broke free from his embrace.

Jiang Kaiji was about to say a few words of comfort when he was met with the dark muzzle of a gun.

"Please step back."

Jin Ping'an released the safety of his pistol and pointed it at Jiang Kaiji.

Jiang Kaiji stared at Jin Ping'an in disbelief: "Ping'an! Are you crazy?!"

Jin Pingan snapped the hammer: "I'm not crazy, I'm fine, please step back."

Now Jiang Kaiji dared not make any rash moves.

People often see hammers being twirled during confrontations in movies.

This is because the trigger of some pistols becomes extremely loose after the hammer is pulled, and even a slight touch could cause it to discharge accidentally.

Jin Ping'an had been working in the criminal investigation team for several years, no matter what.

Even though he wasn't issued a gun, he still learned how to use one through subtle influence.

Jiang Kaiji, who has a background in public administration, has learned some conversation skills.

He knew that he absolutely couldn't mention Cheng Lejia at this time, as that would only upset Jin Ping'an.

So Jiang Kaiji backed away while advising, "Ping An! Calm down! There must be some misunderstanding here! Why don't you call Lao Tian first..."

Jiang Kaiji suddenly realized that Jin Pingan had smashed his phone.

This means that Jin Ping'an had already begun planning this scene the moment he snatched the phone.

Is this still the same Ping An as before?

Jiang Kaiji looked at Jin Ping'an, who was pointing a gun at him, and seemed somewhat dazed.

Jin Ping'an moved step by step to the door of the ward, and only after closing the door did he turn off the safety and put down the pistol.

Don't be fooled by the characters in movies who can hold a pistol for ages without wobbling; in reality, a fully loaded pistol is quite heavy.

It weighs about three or four pounds.

If I had to give an example, the weight of carrying a pistol in one hand is about the same as carrying three bottles of mineral water in one hand.

Jin Ping'an was already unconscious due to excessive blood loss, and he hadn't eaten all day.

The outburst of smashing chairs had almost drained him of all his remaining strength.

Jin Ping'an is now wearing a hospital gown because his previous clothes have been changed.

The pistol was easy to fall out of the pocket of his hospital gown, so he simply held the gun in his hand and walked towards the stairs while holding onto the wall.

When the bandage was tightened again, blood seeped out from the abdomen, staining a small patch of the hospital gown red.

Everyone who encountered Jin Ping'an in the corridor was startled by his attire and quickly made way for him.
