80s Marriage Swap: My Should-Be-Dead Husband Lives On-Chapter 174: She Is Dead

Chen Jinlan arrived at the Lu Family and found the door slightly ajar.

This was strange, as the door had always been shut tight in previous visits.

As Chen Jinlan pushed the door open, she discovered three people lying on the floor. She took a few steps forward and saw their faces.

She screamed immediately, her entire being frightened to the point of collapsing to the ground.

Passersby heard Chen Jinlan’s scream, peeked inside, and upon seeing the situation, turned pale.

...

Half an hour later

The police arrived at the Lu Family.

Chen Jinlan was still a bit shaken.

Lin Wen looked at Chen Jinlan, "Ma’am, when did you discover they were dead?"

Chen Jinlan trembled and said, "I, I don’t know."

"When did you get here? What was your purpose for coming?"

Chen Jinlan said, "I, I just arrived. I came, I came to find my daughter."

The police officer next to Lin Wen noted Chen Jinlan’s words.

After the forensic examination, the examiner approached.

"The bodies have stiffened. Given various data, the deceased have been dead for at least ten hours; they should have died yesterday. The probable cause is poisoning."

"The poison seems to be in the food on the table. The specific poison needs further investigation."

"Report, there’s a discovery inside." The forensic examiner had just finished speaking when another police officer suddenly shouted.

Lin Wen and the others walked towards the direction of the officer.

Chen Jinlan cast a glance and found that the officer was standing in Song Jiajia and Lu Hao’s room.

Chen Jinlan suddenly had a foreboding feeling and immediately followed them.

As soon as Lin Wen entered, he saw a person hanging from the ceiling beam—it was Song Jiajia.

Chen Jinlan bypassed Lin Wen, and upon seeing Song Jiajia, was stunned in place.

The next moment, Chen Jinlan rushed over: "Jiajia! Jiajia!"

The police stopped Chen Jinlan until others lowered Song Jiajia from the beam, confirmed no breath, and then released Chen Jinlan.

Chen Jinlan threw herself over: "Jiajia, Jiajia wake up, how could you be so foolish? Now that you are gone, how am I supposed to live?"

Chen Jinlan screamed hysterically.

Others couldn’t help but be moved watching her.

"We just discovered this." The police handed a note to Lin Wen.

Lin Wen took the note and, looking at the few sentences on it, understood the whole story.

Song Jiajia poisoned Lu Hao and the others, then committed suicide.

Chen Jinlan was still clutching Song Jiajia’s body, crying bitterly.

Lin Wen put away the note and said, "Let’s handle the scene."

"Yes."

The police tried to pull Chen Jinlan away, but she wasn’t willing to let go.

"Please, take Jiajia to the hospital. Jiajia can still be saved, right? I’m begging you, please, officer, I beg you."

"Ma’am, please calm down."

"I won’t! If you won’t go, I’ll go." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Chen Jinlan tried to lift Song Jiajia, but regardless of her efforts, she couldn’t manage.

"Jiajia, don’t be afraid. Mom will take you to the hospital soon, don’t be afraid, mommy will take you now."

No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t lift her up.

She collapsed to the floor, her heart-wrenching cries reverberating throughout the room.

After a while, a police officer approached and said, "Ma’am, please take solace."

Chen Jinlan shouted, "Don’t say that. Jiajia isn’t dead, she isn’t. Jiajia wouldn’t leave me alone."

Everyone sighed. They had seen such scenes before, yet felt powerless.

Song Jiajia’s body had become somewhat stiff, showing she had not been breathing for a long time.

Even if attempted, she couldn’t be saved.

"Let’s step outside."

Given the situation, Chen Jinlan could only come to terms with it slowly.

Everyone took the remaining three bodies back to the police station.

Lin Wen went to find Jiang Jingming to report the situation. When hearing that Song Jiajia had poisoned Lu Hao and the others, Jiang Jingming’s eyebrows furrowed.

"The reason?"

Lin Wen said, "According to Song Jiajia’s note, it’s because Lu Hao and the others caused her unborn child’s death. She took revenge for her child, hence put rat poison in their food, poisoning them, then hanged herself."

Jiang Jingming: "Understood, proceed with other matters accordingly."

"Yes."

That night, Jiang Jingming returned home.

Sang Yu ran over with a cheongsam in her arms: "You’re back! Perfect timing, look at the cheongsam auntie sent me today. Isn’t it beautiful?"

Recently, Sang Yu had designed many clothes, but her favorite was still the cheongsam.

She felt the cheongsam brought out the beauty of Oriental women exceptionally well.

She suddenly thought of starting her own brand, feeling a sense of pride when seeing others wearing her designed cheongsams on the street.

"It looks great."

Jiang Jingming looked at Sang Yu lovingly and said.

Sang Yu proudly said, "Of course, have you seen who designed it? By the way, I have something to discuss with you."

Jiang Jingming approached, took Sang Yu to the sofa, and sat down: "What is it?"

"Well, I want to open a store." Sang Yu said.

"Open a store?" Jiang Jingming wondered.

Sang Yu nodded: "Today, auntie talked to me about this. After thinking it over seriously, I think it’s very feasible."

If previously designing cheongsams was merely to boost income, now she seemed to gradually enjoy designing them.

"That could be exhausting. Are you sure?" Jiang Jingming didn’t oppose Sang Yu doing things, but worried she might tire.

Sang Yu nodded: "I’ve thought it through, and besides, I’ve planned it out. I’ll only make a fixed number daily, limited edition, that way I won’t overwork myself."

Jiang Jingming tapped Sang Yu’s nose, "So smart."

Sang Yu puffed her cheeks, "Of course."

"Alright, whatever you need, just tell me. Decide the other things yourself, so long as you’re happy." Jiang Jingming said.

Sang Yu: "Okay!"

She knew Jiang Jingming wouldn’t oppose.

She even planned where to open the store.

Only the store name needed further contemplation.

Jiang Jingming suddenly said, "I have something to tell you."

Seeing Jiang Jingming’s sudden serious expression, Sang Yu got a bit worried, "What’s the matter?"

Jiang Jingming watched Sang Yu’s changing expression and said, "Don’t be nervous."

Sang Yu: "Then tell me, what’s the matter."

Jiang Jingming looked into Sang Yu’s eyes and spoke slowly: "Song Jiajia is dead."

Sang Yu was taken aback, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

Though Sang Yu didn’t like Song Jiajia, even hated her, the demise of such a vibrant life seemed regrettable.

"How did she die?" Sang Yu hesitated before asking.
