Witch, Open Your Eyes Chapter 90: Seventh day Part Five

Un-edited so please don’t kill me if you find anything wrong, please gently commenting so I can fix it. Thank you.

Fang Daichuan went straight into the police station after being discharged from the hospital.

He is now the only living witness, a major suspect. The police department’s performance for a year is about to be accounted for in this big case, which makes them too cautious, seven or eight police officers surrounded him in the middle as he got into the police car. Although he is not handcuffed, that scene is really scary. Fang Daichuan himself was in a daze, he lowered his head and nobody knew what he was thinking.

Outsiders didn’t know the inside story, they only saw Fang Daichuan looking dejected and entered the police car, surrounded by seven or eight police officers, as if facing an enemy, his manager drove behind him, his face was hard, the assistant bowed her head and reduced to tears.

That night, the entertainment gossip official account collectively exploded.

What a hot summer. The melons eaters* are very excited. It just so happens that the entertainment industry recently has been calm and the official account is worried about not being able to find any news. This time, big news came out and the internet instantly blew up.

“@Blooming Entertainment: Fang Daichuan was arrested, guess, which team gets point, the drug addicts team or the prostitution team? [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]”

“@Don’t get so excited it is not a big deal: Actor Fang Daichuan was arrested today on suspicion of drug use. He is in a trance. [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]”

“@Pay attention to gossip for a hundred years: The tier-3 young actor murdered and absconded, arrested in Shandong. [Picture]”

(T/N : Lengthy notes below)

Below the post in the comment section, some scolded, some lamented the quality of the people, some ask for the truth, some eat melons and watch the fun and then there is a few fans, who argue using logic on the Weibo, saying please wait for the truth and don’t spread rumours. Unfortunately, Fang Daichuan is a lesser known martial arts actor who only has a few fans. Those fans have never experienced internet bullying and their combat effectiveness is not good. Eventually they were surrounded and torn apart by passers-by. In the end, some fans cried together in a group under Fang Daichuan’s selfie at the airport a week ago.

Soon, #fangdaichuanarrest# and #fangdaichuanwho# both went up on the hot search.

Deng-ge swiped Weibo for a while but the more he swiped, the angrier he became. Eventually he threw away the phone.

“Look at the great job you did!” He turned his head and scolded Xiao Zhou, “You can’t even manage a simple thing! You dare to let Fang Daichuan get in the car without checking the ID?! Fortunately, he came back alive! If he died like the others, see if you can take responsibility for it!”

Sitting on the passenger seat, Xiao Zhou cried, shouting, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Fang Daichuan didn’t know about the affair on the Internet. His mobile phone was confiscated, currently he sat in the interrogation room and was asked over and over again for the same statement.

At first, the police poured him a cup of coffee. He never interrogated before and didn’t know that coffee would make his interrogation more difficult, so he casually drank it.

Since then, he hasn’t drunk or eaten anything.

He repeatedly asked to recount his experience, from the beginning to the end, from the back to the front, from any point in the middle.

“What happened on the third day?” A new team had taken over the interrogation and this one also had bloodshot eyes. After talking to him for a while, he suddenly asked him a question.

Fang Daichuan’s brain was rusty and he reacted very slowly. He thought for a while before saying: “On the third day Niu Xinyan made breakfast, I was reading at the table, they all came down. After the young couple came down, there were footprints on the floor. I poured a glass of water on the carpet in advance and the footprints can be seen…”

“Please describe the order in which the others went downstairs from the back to the front.” The police interrupted him.

Fang Daichuan closed his eyes, he was sleepy. It was already dark outside and he was very tired.

The police made a gesture and two assistant police officers brought in the headlamps* and point it at Fang Daichuan’s face.

(T/N : Alright so author using [大灯;dà dēng] and when I check it is truly headlamps and next sentence is [很强的探照灯,Hěn qiáng de tànzhàodēng] which is strong searchlight so this is probably headlamps used for search and rescue since you know, they are cops.)

The strong searchlight* burn his face. The thin eyelids could not block the light. Even when he closed his eyes, he kept seeing red. Fang Daichuan quickly opened his eyes again.

“Please tell us from the back to the front, the order of everyone going downstairs in the early morning of the third day.” The policeman repeated the question.

Fang Daichuan’s eyes were dry, his lips chapped. From morning to now, he hadn’t drank a sip of water. The coffee in the morning accelerated his metabolism and he felt extremely thirsty.

“Ding Zihui and Mrs. Song went downstairs last. The young couple was before them, and before the couple was Liu Xin, Du Chaosheng, Li Sinian, Yang Song, Niu Xinyan and her son. I was the first to go downstairs and wait for them.” He repeated numbly, licking his dry lips.

The policeman was expressionless: “When the couple came downstairs, what were you talking about?”

Fang Daichuan couldn’t hold back and closed his eyes again.

Bang.

The  police slammed heavily on the iron table and Fang Daichuan woke up.

“Talking about the secretary. Du Chaosheng asked Niu Xinyan if she would like to be his secretary. Niu Xinyan said that his secretary was killed by him and she dared not do it.” Fang Daichuan gasped a few times, the thirst from his throat stimulated his chapped lips and his voice was hoarse.

At midnight, when he was extremely sleepy, Fang Daichuan squinted for five minutes and then woke up with a start. The whole back of his head was in severe pain. It is as if something is taking roots inside the brain and an invisible hand is pulling the fine strand out one by one. He is also drowsy; overall it is painful.

But this is good, Fang Daichuan breathed in a few mouthfuls of scorching hot air, the dry air rubbing across his throat, rustling painfully. This way he wouldn’t think of someone, wouldn’t imagine his figure buried in the fire and he wouldn’t fall into despair. He raised his hand and kissed the ring on his ring finger, there was a light shining on them.

He failed to fulfil his wish.

“How did you and Li Sinian know each other?” After twelve hours of high-intensity interrogation, the police judged that Fang Daichuan’s psychological defence line was on the breaking point and they finally began to get to the point.

Fang Daichuan’s eyelashes trembled.

A few policemen caught a glimpse of his reaction, it gave them a shock and they all straightened up.

They are also extremely exhausted. They have been fighting until now and 24 hours have almost arrived. Fang Daichuan’s parents and agency are currently mediating. The key is in the last one or two hours.

(T/N : For people who don’t know, the police can hold you for up to 24 hours before they have to charge you with a crime or release you. So yeah, next chapter there will be no more interrogation which is good, poor Chuan’er.)

Several police officers spoke faster: “Where did you meet? When did he come to China? When did he organise this event?”

Fang Daichuan sniffed, he didn’t know whether it was because the search light was too strong or if he was too sleepy. Several policemen saw broken watery light in his eyes but he held them firmly in his eyes.

“I met him on the island. I don’t know his origin or how he organised the event. We only knew each other for seven days.”

Several police officers looked at each other.

“Bullshit!” a fat man yelled, throwing out a dozen documents and slapping the table loudly, “Look for yourself! Thirteen years of training for a mercenary group! The grandson of the godfather of the Mafia! Moderate depression! Drugs Addiction! Antisocial personality! Someone like that will give you a ring and fuck you after knowing each other in seven days?! Do you really think of yourself as a fucking big star?! Do you think Li Sinian is a rich second generation?!!”

Fang Daichuan opened the document and read it silently for a while. His expression was very calm but under the table, his palms were clenched tightly and his nails were firmly embedded in his palms.

“I didn’t know he was depressed. He behaves normally. Except for self-destruction and self-abuse*, I can’t see an antisocial personality. I also don’t know that he is addicted to drugs. He hasn’t taken or injected any drugs on the island. If he is addicted, it’s probably only alcohol.” He fought back wave after wave of crushing pain in his heart and suddenly understood something.

(T/N : Honestly I want to type ‘for being trembling M and suicidal’ but that is not what author wrote sadly…)

Why Li Sinian’s fingers did suddenly convulsed; why did he drink a lot of wine, but he didn’t care about the brand of the wine; why did he jump into the sea when he was poisoned; why did his fingers move nimbly and there was a long scar running across his waist.

He’s depressed, he’s addicted to drugs and he’s trained in a mercenary group for fifteen years.

(T/N : Yes police said 13 but Chuan’er said 15. Now, I think author purposely made it so reader can see how messed up Chuan’er mind right now. I means, when I translate this chapter there is some stuff that did not fit with previous chapters [and you all who have read so far must know how obsessed I am with checking with previous chapters] so yeah, just for this chapter I won’t put any notes stated where it comes from since author made it so Chuan’er is now a unreliable narrator.)

He had no one on his side, no friends, no relatives, he tacitly accepted that there will be no rescue, no one cares, no matter in life or death, he is alone.

Is Li Sinian really such a person?

He suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard he is moving upside down, unable to stop.

Such a person, kissing his ear while stuffed a bottle of hand cream into his hand and said, “Chuan’er-ge, will you?” With a doting in his voice. Such a person would put a ring in his pocket in a chaotic situation, would laugh and go into the sea and pry open oysters for him to eat and would kiss him vividly on the bed.

He didn’t fuck me after knowing each other for seven days, Fang Daichuan thought, the grandson of the godfather of the Mafia, the best mercenary, the depressed patient, Li Sinian. After knowing me for seven days, he’s already decided that he wants to get fucked by me once before he dies

“You think the time we spend together is too short but I hate that I didn’t get to know him sooner,” Fang Daichuan stretched out his hand to wipe the tears that came out of his eyes from laughing, “If I had known, I shouldn’t have let him go when I was a child, I will bring him back to my house and grew up with him.”

As he spoke, he imagined that scene and smiled, a delicate light flowing out of his eyes.

(T/N : How nostalgic. I used to translate entertainment novel and well, for people who didn’t know short explanations then. Melon eaters as you can see are people who love to watch/read gossip while munching watermelon, pic attached below. In English it will be popcorn but honestly I like watermelons better. I won’t explain the @ name since they are only to show up once if I remember right so just take it as a name. About the drug team or prostitution though, in China prostitution is illegal so yeah, the official gossip account is making a bait title asking the reader if Chuan’er is arrested by cop because of drug or prostitution.

So, this novel ended at chapter 97 and we are now at chapter 90 and the ML is missing, don’t worry though, they will meet again, soon. I will try my best to finish translating this novel before August ends since it is already near the end of July and there is no way I can translate that fast. Anyway, cya.)
