Fractured Hues of a Winter's Night Chapter 43

Hongxing Supermarket was temporarily closed, with a sign outside that read "Inventory Check". This was Lu Mingyu's suggestion.

Lu Mingyu was well aware of the negative public opinion impact that a police visit would have on a family. He did not want to deepen the neighbors' prejudice against Chen Yu and her son before the crime was committed against Chen Yu, even though this prejudice had been lurking in the lives of Chen Yu and her son since Guo Yuwei's disappearance, and it has been two years now.

When he brought the criminal police to Hongxing Supermarket, he saw He Xiuxia's eyes behind the cashier, which were as lifeless as dead wood, with only numbness, hostility, and fear of law enforcement agencies. He realized that He Xiuxia and Chen Yu had been "serving their sentences" for the past two years, and the executioners were the police who visited from time to time and the people who watched coldly.

They had already searched He Xiuxia's home but found nothing, so they decided to go to the supermarket instead.

He Xiuxia accepted his suggestion, lowered the shutter, hung up the "inventory check" plate, turned on the lights in the store, and then stepped aside, silently watching the police searching her store.
