Chapter 117: Chapter 73: Twisted Love_2

Tears fell from Yin Miaomiao’s eyes, washing away the blood on her face and revealing a bit of her white skin. She reached out and untied the ribbon that bound Qin Musheng’s mouth and murmured, "Did you ever like me, even just a little bit?"

Qin Musheng gradually calmed down from his shock. He could feel that when Yin Miaomiao asked this question, it came from a place of deep, bone-cutting love. He had always been the one chasing beauties, yet he had never experienced such burning love, even though it had become twisted. He found himself at a loss for a moment because, in truth, he had never paid attention to this gentle girl who had always stood beside Qi Liuniang, her radiance completely overshadowed. Even knowing the danger he was in at that moment, he didn’t want to lie to her and simply said, "I... don’t know."

A brilliant smile spread across Yin Miaomiao’s face, with a very faint dimple appearing on her right cheek, "You didn’t try to deceive me with sweet nothings; I’m glad. I know you don’t like me, you only ever had eyes for Qi Liuniang, and now, only for Ah Yan. I can never compare to them."

"Why fall for beauties?" Yin Miaomiao said with a light smile, her eyes and brows carried a trace of radiance, starkly contrasting with her usual gentle demeanor, "Watching them mock you, I felt torn with pity and hatred. I wondered why I wasn’t born with Qi Liuniang’s beauty, even if your love for me was brief, I would have no regrets. So, when I saw that letter from you, I was truly overjoyed..."

Ran Yan finally understood. Yin Miaomiao had fallen in love with Qin Musheng after seeing him at the Lantern Festival. Qin Musheng, always reckless in his actions, had been tricked by Zhang Fei into writing an invitation to Yin Miaomiao. Perhaps he had other things on his mind or had simply forgotten the invitation. Hence, Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation and robbed her of her innocence.

Possibly, Zhang Fei used sedatives or something similar to make Yin Miaomiao believe that the person she had been with was Qin Musheng.

Yin Miaomiao stood up, dropped the dagger in her hand, and said indifferently to Liu Pinrang, "Han Shan was killed by my order to Cui Mei; Fan Chun was killed by me, and it was also I who wished to kill Wan Lu! Everything was my doing."

Liu Pinrang waved his hand, and the officials grabbed Yin Miaomiao, "Take her back to the Government Office for a thorough interrogation."

Yin Miaomiao was escorted by two Government Officials, walking past Ran Yan and, unexpectedly, wearing a bright smile. She moved her lips but didn’t speak.

Ran Yan watched her retreating figure, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Seventeenth Miss, come and see if Zhang Langjun can still be saved?" Liu Pinrang urged.

Ran Yan glanced at the unconscious Zhang Fei. She had no desire to save the beast, even though he was wounded by Yin Miaomiao. Ran Yan felt no sympathy, but when her gaze fell on his groin, she walked over and squatted down to check his pulse by grabbing his wrist.

After five breaths, she said, "He’s beyond saving."

With so much blood lost, even in her past life, he might not have been saved, and here there was no means of transfusion. Even if Ran Yan could figure out a way to transfuse blood, it was too late for him.

Liu Pinrang stroked his beard, full of doubt. He didn’t care about Zhang Fei’s life or death; the key was to solve the case. Although Yin Miaomiao had confessed to the murders, there were still many confusing aspects, like why she wanted to kill Han Shan or Fan Chun. Could it really be just to frame Qin Musheng for the killings?

The two Government Officials untied Qin Musheng, who glanced at Zhang Fei’s sorry state and quickly turned his gaze away.

Just as they were about to exit the cabin, they heard commotion outside.

Wei Xia was being held down by two Government Officials, while Yin Miaomiao had already walked to the bow of the boat.

She paused at the bow, turned, and glanced at Qin Musheng. Her eyes were misty like fog, her smile blooming like flowers.

Ran Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and fragments flashed through her mind: the two young girls’ corpses laid out together in the Government Office... the figure in the water with cherry-red like blooms.

"Yin Sanniang! Stop!"

With that shout, five or six constables pounced at once.

Yin Miaomiao sneered, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. As the Government Officials rushed toward her, she suddenly leaned back and fell from the boat.

An Official managed to grab the sleeve of her garment, which tore with a ripping sound, followed by a splash as she hit the water.

"Ah Wan!" Ran Yan called out softly, rushing to the bow of the ship.

Liu Pinrang was anxious but did not miss the name Ran Yan had called out, he commanded loudly, "Quick, dive in and retrieve her!" Then he asked Ran Yan, "Did you just call her Ah Wan?"

Ran Yan stared at the red flower of blood blooming on the water before it swirled, spread, and quickly vanished, murmuring in response, "She’s not Yin Sanniang, but Yin Sianniang who should have drowned two years ago, Yin Wanwan."

"What?" Liu Pinrang exclaimed, "Could they be twins?"

Ran Yan turned to Wan Lu, "I still can’t remember. Tell me, did Yin Miaomiao and Yin Wanwan look alike?"

Wan Lu was dumbfounded, her mind still trying to process the information. Upon hearing Ran Yan’s question, she truthfully answered, "They were twins alright, but they didn’t look exactly the same, they were only somewhat similar. Even if you’d only met them once, you would never mistake one for the other."

"If she could disguise the appearance of a drowned person so well, then changing her own looks a bit is nothing," Ran Yan sighed.

Wan Lu said Yin Miaomiao and Yin Wanwan were just somewhat similar, probably also considering their temperaments; Yin Wanwan was a lively and radiant girl, whereas Yin Miaomiao was quiet and gentle.

If Yin Wanwan applied some make-up and deliberately imitated Yin Miaomiao’s behavior and expressions, she could probably blur the line between them. (To be continued.
