She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 215: Victim: White Bone’s Injustice 15
Watching Ah Chen use Gao Yuelan’s hand to tap out words on the phone, the officers present were somewhat dazed.
Each word was familiar, yet together they were chilling.
Seeing who was typing them made the scalp tingle even more.
Through Gao Yuelan’s hand, Ah Chen recounted the details of Chang Xianmin murdering Nie Xifeng. Incidentally, the current events were also typed out, revealing how Gao Yuelan discovered the White Bone in the pigsty and later how Chang Xianmin attempted to kill her in the dead of night.
Naturally, this also unveiled how the elders of the Chang Family helped in hiding the body, misleading outsiders by spreading rumors that Nie Xifeng ran away with another man.
Once sure there was nothing more to add, Ah Chen released Gao Yuelan’s hand and patted her as a token of thanks.
Now, Gao Yuelan was not afraid at all. What was there to fear about the White Bone? It wasn’t harmful. It was Chang Xianmin, subdued in the corner, who was truly frightening.
Ah Chen raised another White Bone hand, presenting it to the officers, revealing hair strands and fabric fibers wrapped around the finger bones. While the fibers might be useless, the hair definitely wasn’t; hair buried underground differs significantly from freshly plucked strands.
Of course, these pieces of evidence had been painstakingly preserved by the universal consciousness to ultimately incriminate Chang Xianmin.
Nie Xifeng was the sole victim, and the future verdict was uncertain, but having one less victim was certainly a positive outcome. Chang Xianmin’s major threat lay in his disruption of order within this fragmented piece of the world, endangering many more people; preventing this was Ah Chen’s primary goal.
With Chang Xianmin’s true nature exposed, Chang Tong would never regain his previous status.
Once the forensic experts removed the items from her finger bones, Ah Chen directed the White Bone towards the original pigsty.
"She’s leaving," Gao Yuelan remarked, then turned to Ah Chen’s location, "I will remember."
She referred to future consideration regarding Chang Heng.
Chang Heng was actually a very sensible child, well-behaved and somewhat reticent since she married into the family. He always was like that even at ten years old when she first arrived. They weren’t particularly close, but he always greeted her politely as ’Auntie’; overall, he was an easy child to get along with.
As for Chang Tong, she was always lively and sweet-talking, more attached to Chang Xianmin. Generally, she was easy to get along with, though cunning from a young age. She didn’t target Gao Yuelan specifically; she sought what she wanted from Chang Xianmin, and they coexisted peacefully. Back then, Gao Yuelan relied on Chang Xianmin, giving his children appropriate care, neither too much nor too little, maintaining family harmony.
Who could have foreseen this?
Returning to her senses, Gao Yuelan saw the White Bone waving at them.
In the astonished gazes of everyone present, the White Bone suddenly collapsed as if losing all support, falling apart completely.
Seeing this scene, Gao Yuelan’s eyes reddened. Despite the short interaction, she felt reluctant and heartbroken.
Were it not for its skeletal appearance, she might have easily mistaken it for a person. Flesh and blood made someone less like a person, while some merely appearing human lacked an actual human soul.
The officers present were also emotionally stirred, pausing momentarily to bow before resuming their work. After encountering the miraculous White Bone, they reported it to higher-ups, surprised by the nonchalant directive to proceed with standard procedures. None of them were foolish; this implied prior occurrences.
Shortly after, as villagers arrived, the White Bone possessed by Ah Chen had already disassembled, and they missed witnessing the marvelous spectacle.
Of course, villagers couldn’t enter, only staring at the Chang Family from beyond the police line.
Seeing Gao Yuelan standing aside, they hesitated to call out, as she was conversing with officers. Soon, the noise outside awakened Chang Lin.
In a fluster, Gao Yuelan rushed inside to bring Chang Lin to her room.
Her daughter was eight, aware of certain things, so she didn’t intend to hide Chang Xianmin’s attempted murder of her tonight. Though a harsh reality for a child, she planned to explain it gradually.
Spending much time with her, Gao Yuelan believed that Linlin understood reason.
Soon, villagers were also questioned.
To their surprise, the matter involved Nie Xifeng.
This couldn’t be concealed.
Though the White Bone’s miraculous display was unforgettable, officers wouldn’t rashly declare it as Nie Xifeng without irrefutable evidence. Through scientific verification, a definitive conclusion was to be drawn.
While remarkable, the White Bone guided them towards uncovering the truth, making its role crucial.
After the investigation, seeing Chang Xianmin arrested, the villagers speculated what had transpired. With the police gone, their discussions erupted.
Understandably, Gao Yuelan dared not to stay, driving off with her daughter behind the police vehicle.
The Chang Family’s other members were informed, as were Nie Xifeng’s parents, since the White Bone’s identification was necessary.
Neither Gao Yuelan nor the police disclosed their knowledge, from the White Bone, of the elders’ involvement to the Chang Family.
Thus, hearing about their son’s arrest, the elders immediately headed to the local police station, unable to wait for Chang Heng.
Fresh out of final exams and planning to unwind, Chang Tong was panicking upon hearing the news.
After hanging up, she cursed under her breath: "How could this get discovered? What am I supposed to do?"
Her roommates had never seen this dark side of Chang Tong and couldn’t help asking, "What happened, Chang Tong?"
To them, Chang Tong was a friendly, cheerful, class officer, and student council president, shining in the crowd with great rapport, someone who made you feel good by simply being around. Her current state alarmed them, prompting their concern.
However, Chang Tong wasn’t in the mood for sympathy.
Still unsmiling, she curtly told them, "Something went wrong at home, I need to return immediately."
Once Chang Tong departed, her roommates speculated on the situation, unaware of the cause.
They didn’t take offense at Chang Tong’s demeanor, understanding the impact of such grave news, deeming it natural to feel unhappy.
Caring deeply for Chang Tong, they brought up the topic in the class group chat.
Before Chang Tong even reached home, classmates, and schoolmates were already probing into her family’s plight.
Some considered close to her even pledged to investigate, others directly reached out or called her; annoyed, she turned off her phone.
How was she supposed to explain this?
