Was Just A Dream

"Miss, miss ... wake up, wake up, miss." An unknown voice was heard, and Yu Bin woke up confused.

"What happened?" Yu Bin asked, opening her eyes, and in front of her was a ticket collector. The same ticket collector who woke her up many other times.

"Miss, you have reached your destination ...." He said, making Yu Bin realize that it was just the usual dream she had for a long time. If you were to say how long ago it started, you would have lost count

"Oh, thank you, sir. You always care to wake me up at the right stop," Yu Bin said, smiling gratefully at the ticket collector.

"It's my job, miss. Have a good day," he replied before moving on to the next passenger.

Yu Bin gathered her belongings and stepped off the bus, feeling a sense of deja vu as she walked towards her destination. The dream always left her feeling unsettled, as if there was something she was missing or forgetting.

"Yu Bin..." the old man called out when she was about to go down.

"Yes?"

"Thank you for always guarding our city. Knowing that you are here for all of us makes me sleep relaxed in the night, " the old man said tenderly,

"It's my pleasure guarding you, sir." Yu Bin answered, smiling, and got off the bus after bowing to him in respect .

Remembering her dream Yu Bin couldn't keep herself not being disturbed .

"Resentment is born of inflicted pain. Love can turn into hatred, and hatred can be melted by love."

Sighing wearily, Yu Bin thought,

*I just dreamed of someone saying that, but thinking more makes sense …*

"Always remember, what you think is white to others may be black, and what you think is black may be completely white to someone else."

The images of the previous dream still troubled her. She couldn't stop thinking about that dream. There was a time in her childhood when she dreamed of this every night. It's not necessarily exactly the same dream but the same person. Her parents were worried about her dreams and sent her to a psychologist. She stopped dreaming a long time ago, but tonight she had that dream again, so it bothered her a little.

*Did I fall asleep thinking about the case?

So, she said that not everything white is white, but how? Returning to my case, when the victim was dead on the stairs, his head was crushed at the nape of his neck. He could break his head by falling down the stairs ... However, his wife claims to be the killer. But she looks so fragile. How can she have the strength to push such a big man up the stairs? Can she do that ? why would she lie if it was not her fault? Unless ... their son ... but hasn't lived with them in months. We may think that the wife is covering for someone else, perhaps their son or another accomplice. It's possible that she is protecting someone she loves, even if it means taking the blame for a crime she did not commit. The truth may be more complex than it initially appears, and not everything is as black and white as it seems. Ah, where are you master ,I really need your help, please ? ..... Arghhh, what the hell am I saying now? These are just dreams, and my case here is real, so I have to do my best to solve it. I can't let an innocent person take the blame for something they didn't do. I need to gather more evidence, talk to witnesses, and uncover the truth behind this crime. I won't rest until justice is served and the real culprit is brought to justice. I may not have a master to guide me, but I have my own skills and determination to see this through. I will not give up until the truth is revealed and the innocent are vindicated.*

2 DAYS LATER

"Mr. Moon, did you find anything? Did you check the victim's son?"

"Yes, ma'am, I did it ... it seems that his son went home that day and stayed there only 15 minutes, then left."

"Oh wow, does that mean we have a witness? That's great. So he saw what happened?"

"It's not a witness, I found a car who was in an accident, so it can't be used yet.

Passing by, I noticed the crushed car, so I remembered that I noticed it the other day too, so I inquired about the owner of the car and found it. Fortunately, he had a video camera attached to the car. The video camera captured the entire incident, including the suspect fleeing the scene. So we have solid evidence to use against him."

"That's fantastic detective work, thank you for your dedication to solving this case. Let's bring this suspect to justice."

"I'm glad I could help, ma'am. I'll make sure to gather all the necessary evidence and present it to the court. We'll make sure this suspect doesn't get away with their crime."

"Okay, good job. Please tell Xian Chen to come here."

"ok, boss."

*So he was there, then there were two options, the husband did something to the son, and she took revenge, or the husband did something to the wife, and the son took revenge...*

Knock Knock* a beating in the door was heard, and Yu Bin was taken out from her thoughts .

"Get in..." She answered, looking into some documents.

"Did you call me boss? " a young boy said happily, entering the door.

"Ah, Xian Chen, haven't seen you all day. Where were you? Did you talk with the neighbors? I told you to take their statements." Yu Bin asked, looking at the young boy who entered so energetically into the office. Maybe it's because this guy is younger than her, but he was having so much energy. It's not like he was much younger, but she sometimes felt like she was hundreds of years old, not 24.

" I was there, boss, it's interesting that there isn't even one person who likes the victim, but absolutely everyone likes the lady. I met an 80-90-year-old woman, some young couples, old couples, and children ... They all like the killer but hate the victim.

Everyone says that the victim used to come home drunk and beat his wife and son. After a big quarrel a few months ago, his son left home. The victim continued to beat his wife very badly. So I think his wife could be the killer after all. If that's the case, it would make sense why everyone likes the killer and not the victim. It's possible that the wife finally reached her breaking point and took matters into her own hands to protect herself and her son. It's important to gather more evidence and information to confirm this theory before jumping to conclusions. But Boss , If that's true I agree with the killer "

" Xian Chen, you're a police officer. Stop talking nonsense."

Yu Bin got annoyed to hear the last words said by her colleague.

"Sorry boss, but boss, from everything I've heard, I think it was worth it. How can someone beat their wife and child? just because he's a man, and he's stronger than it gives him the right to hurt her?"

" I completely agree with you. No one has the right to harm another person, regardless of their gender or strength. Domestic violence is never acceptable and should never be justified. It's important to stand up against such behavior and support those who are victims of it. But that's not a reason for murder. please think straight , I understand what you are saying, and I'm angry too, but we can't take a life just because we're hurt. Anyway, I have a feeling she's not the killer. Besides, the victim wasn't supposed to be home that day, so how could she be prepared to kill him as she says.We need to gather more evidence and investigate further before jumping to conclusions. Let's focus on finding the real culprit and bringing them to justice."

*So ,the son came home . There is a possibility that the father hit the son, and the woman got angry and pushed the man . Wait , the son is not a kid anymore. He can take care of himself . Just if....

Resentment Get born from inflicted pain

Resentment gets born from inflicted pain. Resentment gets born from…*

"THAT'S IT,"

Yu Bin shouted as she jumped to her feet. Xian Cheng jumped, scared of her reaction. Just a moment ago, she was silent, and the next moment, she jumped and screamed. Of course, he would have jumped.

"What ... what ... What happened?"

"Listen," she said as she walked from one corner of the office to the other while the young boy followed her every step

"So her son comes home to visit his mother, knowing that his father is not at home, but his father is at home. He quarrels when he sees his mother's injuries and ends up pushing his father up the stairs."

"Boss, let me remind you that you need evidence for everything you say." Xian Chen warned her, seeing that she was already creating a scene in her head without having enough evidence to support that idea.

Even though he was in his 20s, he was sometimes the brain of the team, but this time, he had no idea. They had no evidence to incriminate him, not talking about that he felt sorry for the boy and his mother. In his opinion, that monster had to die.

"Right.... so we need to make the son tell the truth. And yes, we have the video camera and the neighbor's testimony. We can use them against him. " Yu Bin said, turning around to face him. It was looking like a light bulb lightened, and she was not ready to give up on that idea.

"Boss, we have to talk to the mother too. She has to be convinced, too. Otherwise, her words will be against her son's words." The oldest Moon in the entire team said in worry entering the office. He was in agreement with Yu Bin's idea. Everything she said made sense and seemed to connect but if the mother took the fault over her than she was the biggest impediment in this because even if they find the kid it's for nothing if the mother don't change her statement... Not talking about the fact that they don't have any strong evidence .

"You have a point here. So I'll take care of that boy and you both go talk with his mom ..." Yu Bin answered, sighing and taking her phone from the table she left the two in the office and rushed out to find the boy...

" she said to herself, looking outside at the cars that were hurrying to reach their destination. " more importantly, how did I get home?"

"Looks like they died eight or ten years ago, so look at the disappearance of two children from eight to ten years ago." "Okay, boss." " Is Moon there?" "Yes, he's on his computer trying to restructure the image of bones. Looks like it's almost over. Boss, from what I've seen so far, they're both boys." "Yes, I know . one is five years old, and the other is twelve. Anyway, see you there. I'll be there as soon as I can." " "Got it, boss.

    "I love you, " Xian Chen said, his eyes full of deep sadness. What else could he have said? Whatever he said, it all boils down to two sentences. I love you, I'm sorry. The rest would have been just excuses..."I love you too, " Yu Bin replied with a wistful smile. Ah, in front of her was the person she loved with all her heart. The person who made her see the world as it really was. In front of her was the person who was always by her side. Thinking of all the times when Xian Chen was with her, Yu Bin smiled with tears in her eyes.[[I'm sorry, Yu Bin, I'm so sorry. It's my fault. It's my fault, I killed them all, I'm so sorry, Yu Bin]]The words suddenly echoed in her ear, and the smile froze on her lips.No, you can't love him. Whatever it is, she won't love him again. If she has to take her heart out of her chest, then so be it, but she won't love him again."What happened? " Xian Chen asked timidly. In a way, he already knew, it was over...

After she had the bath, she dressed and left for work. Coming down from the bus, she expected to see Xian Chen, but to her disappointment, he was not there. Reaching the office, she looked for Xian Chen, but he was nowhere to be seen. "Good morning, Moon." Yu Bin said, seeing Moon doing something on his computer. "Good morning, ma'am. How are you?" Moon answers, looking at her curiously. The things that happened last night were coming back into his mind. The fact that his boss last night was looking in so much pain and today she was ok made him somehow surprised. But, thinking that she was extremely drunk, it made sense. "I'm fine, but where is Xian Chen?" Yu Bin asked curiously.

They were reaching their home not so long ago and he was preparing some food for them but Ming Fang's troubled voice made him stop whatever he was doing and stayed down beside her.

    Reunion. I Wish I Can Stop The Time

    Waking up in the morning, Chen Xian opened his eyes expecting to see Yu Bin, but unexpectedly she was not there. He was surprised at first, then surprise turned to shock, and shock turned to worry and frustration. Thinking of the day when Yu Bin was caught by Ming Fang and fell off the cliff into the abyss, his heart trembled suddenly, and he jumped out of bed in fright. As soon as he hit the floor, he lost all his strength and fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face."Yu Bin...Yu Bin..." He continued to mutter to himself, trying to get up with all his strength, but he couldn't. Bumping his legs hard, he got up, opened the door, and ran quickly, almost falling on the stairs.Down the stairs, some voices and laughter from the kitchen caught his attention. One of the voices came from the person he loved the most. Walking to the kitchen in a hurry, he found himself face to face with Bao Fang, Long Wei, and the person whom he misses the most the moment he opened his eyes. Seeing
