Ding Ning's brain exploded, and his face instantly turned pale. It was too late, it was still too late.
Diba covered her mouth in shock, and tears streamed down her face. She didn't expect that Anival would die in a car accident before he could commit suicide. Was this fate?
Director Liu's face was gloomy. He picked up the phone and saw that the command center had not hung up, so he immediately asked, "Tell me the details. Was it a car accident or a car accident?"
Ding Ning understood what he meant. He must want to know whether Anival lost control of the car because he tried to commit suicide and was stopped, or if he crashed into other cars while driving normally.
Unfortunately, the command center did not know. The nearby police officers had rushed to understand the situation, but there was no feedback yet.
Ding Ning stepped on the accelerator with a pale face. The police car sped through the traffic like a runaway wild horse, trying to rush to the scene of the car accident.
Although the command center said that Anival was dead, what if he was still breathing? As long as he was still breathing, he would do everything he could to save him.
He rushed desperately, so that the journey, which should have taken at least 20 minutes, arrived at the scene in just five minutes.
A cordon had been drawn at the scene, and the traffic police and the police cordoned off the scene together.
Ding Ning's eyes narrowed, and he slowly pulled over. Looking at the terrible scene of the car accident, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.
The black Jinbei van painted with the words "police" was overturned on the side of the road, and the body had been smashed beyond recognition, like a pile of scrap iron that had been forcibly squeezed together. The chances of the people inside surviving were slim.
The car involved in the accident was a Dongfeng heavy truck. The front of the truck had been completely deformed, and the hood was turned up high, revealing the car engine that looked like intestines. The driver's window was completely shattered, and the ground was covered with broken glass. It was estimated that the driver was dead.
There was no need to do any identification. Just from the fact that the truck was driving in the wrong direction, it could be seen that the truck was absolutely responsible for the accident.
Director Liu got out of the car with a dark face and walked quickly to the cordon. The police who were inspecting the scene greeted him one after another.
Ding Ning asked Diba to stay in the car, for fear that she would be traumatized, but Diba insisted. She and Anival were friends, and she would send him off no matter what.
Ding Ning could not persuade her, so he could only follow her. Holding her slightly trembling hand, he followed Director Liu closely.
"Chief Liu, this car accident was not an accident, but a premeditated murder."
Zhou Kai had already arrived at the scene one step ahead of them. He nodded at Ding Ning as a greeting and reported to Director Liu.
Originally, the criminal police were not supposed to be involved in a car accident, but several of their colleagues and a suspect had died. They happened to be investigating a case nearby, and after receiving the news from the command center, they immediately rushed to the scene.
"What do you mean? Where's the perpetrator? "
Chief Liu asked with a gloomy face. He had just taken charge of the work, and Wushi had met with one incident after another. Several of his colleagues had even died, which made him feel ashamed.
"The culprit is already dead. It's Li Mingrui's mother, Zheng Guifang, so I don't think it was an accident but a deliberate murder. She wanted to die with her son's murderer."
Zhou Kai said with an ugly expression.
"Isn't Zheng Guifang in the hospital with our people watching over her? Why did she run out? "
Chief Liu's expression became even uglier. Although Li Maoyang took all the responsibility after being arrested, some old cases still involved Zheng Guifang. Because her arm was chopped off by Ding Ning, she was staying in the hospital under the police's surveillance. How could she run out quietly and accurately find the police car that escorted Anival?
"The Li family has been in Wushi for so many years. Even if it has fallen now, its assets are still there. There are always some scums who covet benefits. It's not difficult to help her escape."
A cold light flashed in Zhou Kai's eyes as he spoke through gritted teeth. He truly detested those people. Perhaps even they themselves did not expect that their greed for petty profits would cause the deaths of several of their colleagues. It was truly heart-wrenching and hateful.
"Investigate, we must investigate thoroughly. I'd like to see who has eaten the heart of a bear and the heart of a leopard to help the evildoer at this time."
Chief Liu was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he shouted angrily.
The local forces had always been rampant, but he did not expect that there would be someone who dared to commit crimes against the wind at this critical moment.
His thoughts were more complicated than Zhou Kai's. Ordinary policemen, no matter how stupid they were, would avoid the Li family as soon as possible after the fall of the Li family. No matter how much money they offered, they would not dare to have anything to do with the Li family.
Those who dared to secretly help the Li family at this time must have something on them. Zheng Guifang used this as a threat to force that person to take the risk to let her escape.
But he was sure that even that person only thought that Zheng Guifang wanted to escape, but did not expect that she actually wanted to die with the enemy who killed her son.
If he thought deeper, it might also be that the local forces were unwilling to be controlled by Governor Cheng, so they deliberately played tricks in the dark to make trouble for the people on Governor Cheng's side.
At least, disrupting the security of Wushi and leaving a muddle-headed and incompetent impression in the hearts of the people on Governor Cheng's side was also a means of attacking.
Ding Ning walked to the front of the truck and looked at Zheng Guifang, who was covered in blood but had a ferocious and happy expression on her face. His heart was filled with complicated feelings. He did not know what to feel.
To him, a vicious woman like Zheng Guifang did not deserve to die, but as a mother, she was great. In order to avenge her son, she did not hesitate to die with her enemy.
If he had known that this would be the outcome, he would have killed her at that time. He would not have just broken one of her arms.
But no matter how regretful he was, she was already dead. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. All the grievances and entanglements were gone with the wind.
Although he did not approach, he had already used his divine senses to investigate. Anneval was already dead. No matter how good his medical skills were, there was nothing he could do when facing a dead person.
Although this was not the outcome he wanted to see, since there was no turning back, he could only face reality.
Fortunately, Anneval had fulfilled his wishes. Even at the moment of death, there was a relaxed smile on his face.
Perhaps, from the moment he learned of Qi Mingxian's death, his heart had already died. Even if he was barely kept alive, he was just a walking corpse without a soul.
Diba watched the ambulance take away Anneval's mutilated body. She could not help but sob softly. She held Ding Ning's hand very, very tightly.
Ding Ning sighed and gently hugged her slender waist, letting her lean on his shoulder. At this time, Diba was fragile and needed his comfort.
"How should I tell Xilin? I can't imagine how sad she will be when she receives the news."
Diba looked up at Ding Ning with tearful eyes and said pitifully.
"Since it's already like this, we can only face reality. I'll tell her. But you have to spend more time with her these two days. She needs your comfort now."
How could Ding Ning stand her pitiful eyes? He could only accept this hard task.
"Okay!"
Diba nodded hard. She did not have the courage to tell Xilin about this kind of thing, but as a qualified best friend, she would definitely stay with her.
"And Shanshan, we will always be with her."
Diba took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and became brave again.
Ding Ning glanced at her with a complicated gaze. Yuan Shanshan was also a big trouble.
He did not know that her husband had died.
Would she feel a little better when she saw that Xilin's husband had died?
He wanted to remind Diba, but at this time, she was already sad enough. He did not want to add fuel to the fire and cause more trouble for her.
In fact, he was very clear that even if Xilin was sad about Anneval's death, she would not be sad for too long. After all, they were a fake couple.
Her sadness had nothing to do with love. It was more because Anneval had become a habit in her life, a dependence, a kinship without any blood relationship.
People often said that when a husband and wife spent a long time together, the former love would gradually fade. After the passion was gone, it would gradually turn into kinship.
Ding Ning deeply agreed with this, not to mention that there was no love between Xiling and Anneval. It was more of a different kind of kinship.
Therefore, he was not jealous, nor was he worried that Xilin would seek death. Instead, he was more worried about Anneval's parents. It was a kind of sad and desperate feeling for the elderly to see their child die.
"Is Anneval an only child?"
Ding Ning knew that Anneval was the only boy in the family, but he did not know if he had sisters. If not, the old couple might not be able to bear such a blow.
"No, he has an elder sister and a younger sister."
Diba shook her head. "His elder sister is married, and his younger sister is still in college."
"Does his elder sister have children?"
Ding Ning was a little relieved. As long as there were sisters, at least, Anneval's parents would not be so sad that they would commit suicide.
"I heard from Xilin that her elder sister seemed to have given birth to a boy the year before last. The old couple treasured him very much."
Diba was smart and had already understood Ding Ning's meaning. She replied softly.
"That's good."
Ding Ning nodded with relief.
"Let's go. It's time for us to go back."
Ding Ning said goodbye to Chief Liu and borrowed the police car. He asked him to arrange for someone to pick it up later. He pulled Diba into the car and rushed to Xilin's house.
On the way, Ding Ning called Xilin and told her about Anneval's death. Listening to the grief-stricken cries of Anneval's mother on the other end of the phone, he felt very upset.
Now, the only thing he could do for Anneval was to help him get revenge so that he could leave with a little more peace of mind.
Yes, it was revenge. Although Zheng Guifang, the instigator of all this, was dead, the culprit who secretly colluded with her and helped her escape from the hospital had not received the retribution she deserved.
"Mengting, help me find out which department is responsible for guarding Zheng Guifang."
After getting Fang Mengting's promise, Ding Ning looked at the rearview mirror and showed a trace of impatience on his face. That female reporter was really haunting him. She had been following him all the time. It seemed that she would not stop until she hit the wall.
"Who is Mengting? She calls me so affectionately. "
Diba pursed his lips and said sourly.
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Ding Ning glanced at her and said with a smile.
"Who would be jealous of you? Say it if you want."
Diba pursed her lips and said with a tsundere face. She even turned her head to look out of the window in disdain.
Ding Ning showed a hurt expression and said in a melancholy voice, "This is a touching story."
Although Diba did not turn her head, her ears immediately pricked up. Obviously, she was lying.
"Her name is Fang Mengting. She is a criminal police officer. Of course, she has another identity. She is my …"
Speaking of this, Ding Ning suddenly decided to keep them guessing and shut his mouth.
"She is your what?"
Sure enough, Diba could not hold it in anymore. She turned her head and asked nervously with her mouth pouting.
