CHAPTER 1039: CHAPTER 1037 MEMORY LOSS (1)

Han Jingnian said, raising his beautiful fingertips and pointing to another spot...

That spot was more concealed, likely where Chen Qingtian, in his dying effort, struggled to draw.

Like that "Wei," it was drawn on the wall with blood stains, but it was not a character nor part of any character; rather, it was three brackets.

Xia Wan’an stared at that spot, puzzled, and eventually turned to Han Jingnian for help with a pleading look in her eyes.

Upon meeting her gaze, Han Jingnian slightly shifted the direction of the photo.

From Xia Wan’an’s perspective, the three chaotic brackets became orderly, two brackets facing down and the remaining bracket facing up right below the two...

It clearly resembled a... a...

Xia Wan’an blurted out, "A smiley face? Did Chen Qingtian struggle to draw a smiley face before dying?"

"However, thinking about it again, what does drawing a smiley face imply? A smiley face... a smiley face..." Xia Wan’an murmured for a while, then met Han Jingnian’s eyes. At the moment she was about to speak, Han Jingnian also moved his lips, and both simultaneously uttered two words: "One smile."

"Yes, one smile..." Han Jingnian spoke again, repeating, "Look, in front of the smiley face, there is a faint bloodstain, so light that only part of it is visible, but you can guess she wanted to write the number 1. At that time, Chen Qingtian’s consciousness was already dispersing, she lacked the strength and couldn’t completely write out the name ’One Smile’, so she used this method..."

"One Smile couldn’t possibly be Q, so, Chen Qingtian’s intention, she’s telling us that One Smile knows who Q is... But One Smile is even younger than you, you can’t even grasp the complexities with Q, how could she possibly know who Q is?" Xia Wan’an thought more and felt increasingly perplexed, "Do you think... Are these clues left by Chen Qingtian trustworthy? Could she be misleading us to protect Q?"

"No." The response to Xia Wan’an didn’t come from Han Jingnian, but from Xie Lin, who unbeknownst to them had appeared at the doorway.

His tone was very firm.

"She had no need to deceive us at this time. I understand her well; she either keeps silent or doesn’t lie... Even for his sake, she would speak the truth." Xie Lin said as he walked to the bedside, and it was only when he got closer that Xia Wan’an noticed he was holding a very old diary: "This is his relic. I also recalled his habit of recording patient details when I returned from the police station, so I went to look through what he had written in the past, and indeed, I discovered some clues..."

As Xie Lin spoke, he opened the diary, "These are some treatment insights recorded when he was treating Miss Xiaoxiao initially... Among these records, there’s a phrase... besides severe psychological trauma, I somewhat suspect memory loss in Xiaoxiao, but currently, there’s no basis..."

Han Jingnian frowned, "Memory loss?"

Xia Wan’an leaned over the diary and carefully read what Han Jingwen had written back then, then spoke out, "Does Second Brother mean, he suspects that One Smile has forgotten something very important?"

Xie Lin, "Yes, and the memories Miss Xiaoxiao is missing could very well be the answers we’ve always been seeking."
