[R18] Pampered (NP) – “Pampered (NP)” 366, catching a turtle in a urn (murderer revealed) 3300+ words [English]
byShen Lingzhi hurried to the scene of the incident. A cordon had been set up at the scene, and many neighbors came around.
Police cars occupied a row, and their red and blue flashing lights reflected the entire street.
There were only scattered dots in the night sky, and she stood in a daze among the whispering crowd, as if her soul had been drained, and she could not hear anything.A black body bag was taken out of the building she was familiar with and put on a cold corpse truck.
Brother Xu Ye is dead. He took all precautions, but he still died.
How is this possible?he 们才分别不过二十天，当时 he 和 he 妹妹肩并肩站在一块儿，俩人肩头倾泻暖阳， she 在 he 眼里看到莹莹碎芒，很美， she 以为 he 开始正视自己的心，很快就会跟宁嘉儿在一起。
How could he just leave like this?
Shen Lingzhi was so uncomfortable that she burst into tears. Tang Sinian put a coat on her and held her in his arms.
He was also surprised by this matter. The Tang family’s subordinates were well-trained, and it was supposed that there would be no major problems in seamlessly tracking people 24 hours a day.In the end, no one expected that the place where he was finally killed was the one that everyone ignored – Xu Ye’s home.
Xu Ye was stabbed several times on his body, and the blades hit his bones.
其实发现许叶尸体的第一人是宁嘉儿，宁嘉儿上楼没多久，在楼下等候的经纪人接到宁嘉儿惊恐的电话，急忙上去把自家小主子捂得严严实实接走，避免被媒体捕风捉影，等走远了些才命人赶紧报警。
After Shen Lingzhi returned, all he could think about was the dark body bag, and he tossed and turned all night long.
Suddenly, she jumped up from the bed with a thump.
“No, that’s not Brother Xu Ye, he is a cat. If he dies, he won’t keep his human form!”
Xie Mu transformed and came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, “I’ve seen it, it’s he.”
“But he…”
“没错，鸿蒙族人本质是借尸还魂附在猫上，无法再拥有人的躯体——一般来说的确如此。但要塑造新肉身也并非完全不可能。在我们那，有一股神秘力量名叫罗刹，它是个公平的生意人，你可以从它那儿得到任何想要的东西，但要付出同等代价。许叶应该就是跟罗刹做了交易，塑造出人的肉身，真正做回人类。”
Who would have thought that after all this tossing, he would die in the end.
It was okay for Shen Lingzhi not to listen to Xie Mu’s explanation, but once he heard it, he felt even more uncomfortable and couldn’t sleep for days and nights.
更可怕的是，海苏市开始接连出现好几桩命案，受害人死亡方式与许叶极为相似。
Shen Lingzhi was shocked and frightened. As soon as he closed his eyes, the days and nights before he was killed in his previous life came to mind.
同样也是喜气洋洋的二月，人们都沉浸在过年欢乐的喜悦， she 却一次又一次遭受凶手骚扰恐吓，在烟火怒放的天空下，孤零零死在冰冷空荡的公寓。
The gears of fate seem to be gradually overlapping with those of the past life.
Shen Lingzhi began to feel like someone was peeping at her.
纪长顾和唐斯年都在 she 公寓附近部署了人，并抓紧调查程让去向，傅景行和陆少凡尽量抽空过来陪 she ，谢暮更是寸步不离跟着，但还是挡不住那种被偷窥的惊悚感。
She counted the days in agony, wondering if the threatening letter would be coming soon?
这次楼下埋伏那么多人，只要能追踪出恐吓信的来源，事情会好办得多。
结果还没等到恐吓信，这一天沉灵枝逛街竟意外遇上一个人。
Cheng Rang!
Cheng Rang obviously saw her first, stopped the car on purpose, and walked quickly to her.
he 一身卡其色长款风衣，眉眼间略带倦意。
看得出 he 很赶， he 穿的衣服从来都是熨帖得不带一丝褶痕，这回却看到两三道。
程让到 she 跟前先抬起手臂，似乎本要抱 she ，但很快又放下了手。
“Sorry, these clothes haven’t been washed for two days and are dirty.”
Really, just “dirty”?
Shen Lingzhi observed that his expression was as gentle as ever when he said this.
After seeing each other again after a long absence, we went to a nearby coffee shop to reminisce about old times.
程让的视线一直没从女孩身上挪开， she 看起来瘦了，多了一点黑眼圈，但 she 的一切基本没变，从头到脚， he 都很熟悉。This is fine, as long as she comes back, everything can start again.
这时，沉灵枝接了个电话， she 的神色倏然就变了。
望向 he 的眼神是抑制不住的惊骇恐惧。
He doesn’t like how she looks at her like this. He doesn’t like it very much.
Cheng Rang tried to ask the reason, but Shen Lingzhi hurriedly picked up the bag and said he had something to leave.he 不明白发生了什么，也不想勉强 she ，握住 she 胳膊想问 she 联系方式。
But she shook him off violently, as if he was such a dirty and terrible thing.
She hates him, she doesn’t want to see him.
程让压抑已久的心情终于失控，再也顾不得绅士礼仪，紧紧把要逃的女孩禁锢在怀。
“枝枝，你怎么了？我做错了什么，你告诉我？”
He’s voice is hoarse and sad, but she has a good temper. Normally, she would have comforted him thoughtfully.
But now, she seemed to regard him as her enemy, struggling and beating him desperately, “Let me go, Cheng Rang! Let me go first!”
“Don’t let go.”
Some people always say that he pursues perfection too much and is stubborn to the point of paranoia.
其实 he 这一生唯一偏执的事就是得到 she ，明知是疯狂不理智的情感，但就不可控制。
“I will never let go in my life.”
沉灵枝短暂地愣了下，更加激烈地挣扎，“疯子，你这个疯子！”
The tugging between the two attracted the attention of the entire cafe.
尽管现在时间只是上午，还是工作日，咖啡厅的上座率也达到了一半。
有人拿手机拍照录像，有人围过来劝解，现场乱哄哄一片。
在这场混乱中，谁也没注意一个颀长的黑影从角落站起，径直往程让和沈灵枝的方向而去。he 的步伐看似不紧不慢，呼吸越来越沉，越来越急。
有人被黑影撞痛了肩头，正想骂对方“没长眼”，就见那人从袖子里抽出尖利的匕首。
The target is the man and woman who are still fighting!
Going to kill someone!
还没来得及发出一声尖叫，枪声乍起，黑影前上方的灯应声而裂。
“Drop your weapons and put your hands up.”
The cold subwoofer sounded from behind the black shadow.
空气陷入短暂的静默，跟着像落入油锅的沸水，炸了——围观的人群吓得往外逃窜。
沉灵枝一扭头就看到不远处的男人，男人卸去了头套，单手举枪，目光冷厉如狼。
She opened her eyes wide in surprise, “Brother!”
唯一埋伏在现场的谢暮也吃了一惊，沉望白怎么会突然出现，而且脸上居然没有惊讶的表情，仿佛早就知道这个人是凶手。
沉望白的出现让沉灵枝的心安了几分，可当 she 把视线从沉望白转到那个黑影上时， she 嘴角的笑容凝固了。
黑影摘去墨镜，望着 she 微微一笑，“好久不见，枝枝。”
沉灵枝嘴唇几番张合，终于从喉咙艰涩地挤出几个字，“许叶……哥……”
呼吸一度凝滞，沉望白望向许叶的眼神愈发森冷。
she 双唇发颤，问沉望白，“哥，你是不是……早就知道了？”
“Yeah.”
其实沉望白早就对许叶产生了怀疑。
当初孟杉的死被认定为畏罪自杀，的确，自杀现场很完美，遗书写了，贵重之物也都变卖了，像对这世间没有任何留恋。但法医在孟杉的指甲发现残留的少部分木屑，经对比，与 she 床头的材质和抓痕一致。
如果是自杀，死在沙发上的被害人为什么会有床上挣扎的痕迹？
He also found a piece of cat hair in Meng Shan’s house.
细想曾经孟莹凶杀现场扔出的一个烟灰缸，上面残留谁也没留意的猫血， he 把目标锁定在与孟杉有密切联系的许叶身上。He suspected that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually Xu Ye.
所以从中东的战场回来， he 就一直在监视许叶。
为不打草惊蛇， he 看到死而复生的妹妹都强忍着没有露面。
终于，皇天不负有心人，蛰伏到今天，总算等到许叶当众露出马脚。
“No…”
沉灵枝后退一步，不住地摇头。比起害怕愤怒，更多的是不敢相信。
she 其实也怀疑过许叶，因为庄成思告诉 she ，当年 she 母亲怀的是龙凤胎，只是 she 哥哥临出生就死了。还说 he 们在一起时曾畅想过未来孩子的名字，女孩叫庄明枝，男孩就叫庄明叶，代表是 he 们的“金枝玉叶”。也不知是什么原因， she 出生时间填的是 she 死去的哥哥的。
Then she thought of Master He Qian’s words.
如果 she 那个哥哥没死，成了猫，纪长顾当时极有可能是跟 she 那个哥哥换了命。
真正拥有那个命格的人分明是要杀 she 。
在 she 以为许叶真的死后， she 就把疑虑打消了。
刚才跟程让拉扯的一幕是纪长顾特意安排 she 演的一场戏。纪长顾得知 she 见到程让，电话里叮嘱 she 对程让表现出害怕的样子，让凶手自己露出马脚。
he 揣摩凶手的心理，如果凶手最终目的是想把 she 占为己有，一定不会容许除自己以外的任何人欺负 she 。当然，也更加不容许 she 的厌恶和逃离。
这一试，当真把凶手试出来。
可 she 还是不敢相信，为什么是 he ， he 明明对 she 那样好， he 明明喜欢的是宁嘉儿。
He is versatile, gentle and cute, how could he be a murderous devil?
许叶被枪指着，神情却出乎意料的平静，嘴角甚至噙着一丝笑。
“Zhizhi, you have coffee foam on the corner of your mouth.”
he 轻笑着开口，仿佛一切都没发生过一样，依旧像以前那样温和地注视 she 。
Shen Lingzhi was suddenly afraid of he.
she 把嘴角擦了又擦，还是没擦干净，许叶无奈又宠溺地勾起唇角，一步一步朝 she 走来。
“我帮你。”
He slowly walked up to her and gently raised his hand to touch her lips with his fingertips.
沉灵枝睁大眼睛看 he ，眼里已经漫起水雾。
“Zhizhi…”
he murmured softly, as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world.
Just when his fingertips were about to touch Shen Lingzhi, he suddenly stabbed the girl with the hand holding the knife again.
“枝枝！！！”
周围响起男人们的惊呼，沉灵枝也吓得退后偏头，但没想到，预想中的痛苦没传来。
沉望白开枪了。
砰砰砰，接连三声，完全没有犹豫。
许叶的手，脚，胸膛分别被子弹击穿，鲜血肆意涌出。
Shen Lingzhi turned his head blankly, only to find that there was no madness or obsession on Xu Ye’s face. He just smiled with relief and looked at her gently.
“枝……枝枝……”
he 的身体缓缓倒下，沉灵枝大脑一片空白，下意识就接住了 he 摇摇欲坠的身体。
