Chapter 82: A second injury

Jia revisited the horror house’s first tunnel. She made Bojing take place where Anhe was found injured and unconscious while she walked through the twisted ways of the maze slowly and steadily, observing her surroundings around her.

She took in the eerie air filled with a musky scent and the chill threatening to raise goosebumps on her skin. She wanted to feel the disorientation of the maze, imagining the looming threat of a ghost keeping its haunting gaze on her and ready to jump at her at any moment. The faint mist in the air only added to make the thoughts more befuddled. The creepy, approaching noises introduced a disconcerting sense of nausea.

From the incident site, she walked up to the dead end point where Yibo had been chilling at the time. That was the closest distance to where Anhe was found. But it was a simple dead end and she found nothing of substance.

She then traced her steps, following the zig-zag path towards where Jinping claimed he was hovering around. She craned her head back and except for a narrow slit between two walls, her further view was obstructed by the distant flat wall.

Repeating her previous path, she took a U-turn along the maze to visit the place where Aang had seen the ghostly pumpkin prop. From there to Anhe’s place was the longest route since after coming out, he would walk a little straight, take a right turn and then a big long, left turn until he reached the last corner.

Along the way, she didn’t miss to notice the roof mirrors. At one spot in the middle of the maze, she finally found a tilted angle where she could partially see Bojing.

What if somebody passed through this spot and noticed Anhe running around the place?

With questions in her mind, she went back to where Bojing was waiting for her.

"Sis. Did you find anything?"

"Not as of now. I just wanted to take feel of this place "

"What did Boss s-say to you?"

"Apart from complaining about coming here?"

He coughed.

"Mingshen gave a pretty decent clue to start the investigation," she smiled. "Let’s head back, shall we? Time to spice up the drama."

—

"One of you really hates Anhe, don’t you?" Jia stared at them, her arms folded.

The group of friends was left confused by this statement.

"First hit her head, violently break her phone and now a kick to her stomach."

"A kick to her stomach?" Daxia covered her mouth with shock blanking out her mind. Her suspicions reached the peak as she looked at the guys.

"Just what have you been doing with Anhe in that maze?"

"Oh shut up!" Yibo barked at her. "Don’t act all high and mighty just because you are not in the suspect list."

He then threw a thoroughly disdainful look at Jia. "Is it that same man?"

"The same doctor found a swelling on her waist. The bluish purple bruise was evident enough to point out at a violent kick. Why, you think that a purposeful kick is also an accident?"

Aang grimaced. "That’s ridiculous. Nobody would kick Anhe like that."

"The bruise on the body did not appear by itself."

"Tha-That’s horrible..." Jinping rubbed his throat, trembling with the revelation.

The only person enjoying these changes in developments was Yong. "Oh, dear. You know I still had a little doubt if anybody really smashed her head like that. But now there is a kick in the story?"

Her sideways glance with her arched brow was enough to get them on their nerves. "And here I thought that only I ’loved’ Anhe so much. Clearly, I was wrong."

Jia said, "I am giving you one chance to come out and admit it."

Nobody did.

"Great," with a wintry smile, she went on. "Then I will have to drag you out. Fair enough."

She dialed a number and put it to the speaker. "Spicy! It was about time you miss my-"

"You are the speaker and I want the guys to listen to you. What did you find about the bruise on Anhe’s waist?"

Mingshen clicked his tongue with distaste. "Cutting short on our lovey-dovey time."

"Come to the point before I cut short your lifespan."

Lihua nodded with appreciation.

That’s how you deal with the evil doctor!

On the other side in the hospital, Mingshen shrugged his shoulders and held a report in his hand. "There is nothing much to say about the bruise. Fairly simple. Somebody kicked her hard enough on the waist. BO-RING. But, but, but..."

He took a purposeful and suspenseful pause, wanting to rile up the guys. It worked to an extent too.

With an impish smile, he gave out his judgment. "The interesting part is the dress where the girl was kicked. I found something sticky on it. Something sweet, sugary and sticky."

Jia read their confusion-filled gazes.

"What is it?"

"Cotton candy."

At the back, Lanying scratched her head. "How did cotton candy come on her dress? Was she eating it?"

Jia asked the same question to the group. "Did Anhe eat cotton candy at all during your trip?"

Shilin said, "No. She didn’t."

"Correct. So the presence of the cotton candy on her dress at the exact spot where was kicked is not a coincidence."

Yibo let out a sharp gasp of realization a moment later. "Fuck dude!"

He stared at the man, who he knew was definitely the culprit. "Didn’t you step on cotton candy before? It got stuck on your shoe and you cursed it so much. Right, Aang?"

Aang threw him a ferocious glare. "What the fuck, Yibo? Are you nuts!"

"But it’s true that you had accidentally stepped on it! Daxia can vouch for it. We three were standing in the Sky Loop ride when this happened!"

Daxia covered her mouth. "Yes! I remember it too. Aang was really frustrated too."

Jia, too, remembered that when Anhe had bumped against baby Lan’s stroller, Aang had let out a curse out of his mouth because he had stepped onto something.

"You are all fucking retards!"

From the phone, they heard Mingshen say, "Nurse. I am in a mood for some popcorn because who doesn’t like twenty years odd brats turning on each other~"

Lihua’s brow twitched.

Really an evil villain through and through!

Jia bent in front of Aang and grabbed his leg, touching along his shoe’s periphery.

"Hey! This is assault!" Aang glowered.

"Assault is what you did, Aang."

She rubbed her fingers against each other, feeling the sticky sensation. Standing upright, she showed him the light pink threads faintly visible in the air. "Anything to say?"
