Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 815 - 566: Extra – Flirting and Bantering (Part 1)
"Good!" Song Ziyu went to the hotel lobby with her.
The temperature wasn’t high on the night of late spring, so Song Ziyu rubbed her hands together, and then the receptionist brought her a cup of warm water.
Hotel room.
Su Tianqing, Bai Ye, and Gan Zi were all investigating the scene, and it was confirmed that the murderer entered Xu Ruowei’s room from upstairs.
"Officer Bai, all the female cleaners on duty that day have been brought in!" said Xiaoma.
Bai Ye walked over, and one of the female cleaners shouted, "I didn’t kill anyone; I took a day off that day! My child happened to be sick!"
Xiaoma said, "Officer Bai, I went to the hospital and checked; she was indeed at the hospital with her child that day."
Gan Zi glanced at her, then compared the surveillance footage of the woman’s back: "It does look very similar! Same height, same build, the suspect is female, about 165cm to 170cm tall, wearing a mask that obscures her face, the hat brim lowered."
Su Tianqing frowned: "A woman with such noticeable height, highly educated, and familiar with the hotel’s operations should be easy to locate. I’ll call the office director immediately to check the town’s residents..."
...
In the lobby.
Song Ziyu held a cup of warm water with both hands, occasionally taking a sip while anxiously waiting for news from upstairs.
At this moment, her phone rang.
She saw it was Qiao Xiaoyan calling, so she answered immediately, "Xiaoyan, have you discovered anything new?"
"Ziyu, I just spoke with a mother whose child is missing and hasn’t returned!" Qiao Xiaoyan worriedly said, "I’m afraid the killer might target the child!"
Song Ziyu immediately stepped outside, "I’ll be right there!"
It’s truly one wave after another.
The Xu Ruowei incident has already caused panic; if anything happens to the child, this small town will be in complete turmoil!
Song Ziyu went to a nearby home in the town, where Qiao Xiaoyan was comforting the crying mother.
This mother was surnamed Sang; as soon as she saw Song Ziyu, she said urgently, "Mayor Song, please save the child!"
"What is the current situation?" Song Ziyu looked at Qiao Xiaoyan.
After all, Mother Sang was already in distress, making it difficult for her to articulate, and Song Ziyu, being pregnant herself, understood the inexpressible anxiety of a mother over her child.
Qiao Xiaoyan sensed this too: "The missing child is named Sang Dawei, ten years old, in fourth grade. He didn’t come home tonight, Sang’s mother went to the school to look for him, and the school said he didn’t attend classes today. He left home at eight thirty this morning, and has been missing for twelve hours without any news of kidnapping."
Sang’s mother interjected, "Could it be that the killer targeted the child? What will happen to my child?"
Song Ziyu immediately called Su Tianqing. Su Tianqing, seeing Song Ziyu was calling, boasted happily, "Little Yu’er, are you missing me?"
Song Ziyu rarely called him, which made Su Tianqing feel elated.
"Stop babbling, a child is missing. As soon as you finish up there, come over!" Song Ziyu stated decisively.
She reported the address and hung up.
Su Tianqing looked over at Bai Ye and Gan Zi, Bai Ye feeling an ominous premonition, "Another case?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Gan Zi’s eyes also tensed; they were already racing against time, another case?
"It’s a student, missing for twelve hours," Su Tianqing said, "Suspected to be related to the killer!"
Bai Ye immediately started the car, "Let’s go!"
Song Ziyu and Qiao Xiaoyan had already gathered information on Sang Dawei, and Qiao Xiaoyan said, "Sang Dawei comes from a wealthy family, often arriving late or leaving early for classes. Originally schooling in the city, but multiple city schools refused his admission, forcing him to transfer to the small town. His relationships with classmates are poor, and he doesn’t respect teachers. So when he didn’t show up at school today, teachers and classmates considered it a relief, typical since he occasionally skips school for a few days each month. Only tonight did his mother discover his absence and after fruitlessly searching the school and town, she reported it to the police!"
Su Tianqing analyzed, "Did you notice the common traits among the killer’s targets, all having some moral failing?"
Bai Ye agreed, "Chen Hui was a prostitute, Xu Ruowei was adulterous, Sang Dawei disrespects teachers and classmates, yet life is precious, they don’t necessarily deserve death."
Song Ziyu nodded in understanding, "In that sense, the killer’s targets aren’t necessarily criminal or morally compromised, likely not insane, she at least can distinguish right from wrong! But the way she made Chen Lin murder Chen Hui was extremely cruel, such a person probably can’t be judged by common standards?"
Gan Zi pondered for a moment and said, "Her strategy is ingeniously crafted, she knows Chen Lin’s past and present, designs Chen Lin to murder Chen Hui, then implicates Chen Lin in the murder of Chen Xiaomei, it’s the first intricate scheme, using bad to punish bad with cruelty. Then comes Xu Ruowei’s death, her killing technique is still exceptionally skilled, fatal by overdosing Fenghua No.1. Xu Ruowei liked extramarital affairs, so she let Xu Ruowei die after being with a man, next is the third case, she chose a student who only disrupts and doesn’t strive..."
"Is this student still alive?" Song Ziyu asked urgently.
Perhaps since becoming a mother-to-be, Song Ziyu was more anxious concerning children.
Su Tianqing then rested his hands on her shoulders. She was not always calm, "Ziyu, the situation might not be optimistic..."
Just then, Bai Ye’s phone rang; it was Xiaoma calling: "Brother Bai, major discovery, found three Fenghua No.1 syringes..."
"What?" Bai Ye could hardly believe his ears, "Alright, immediately send them to the city for forensic examination, analyze them overnight, no delays..."
Bai Ye hung up and said, "The case grows stranger, a cleaner found three syringes in the tool room, they immediately informed Xiaoma, Xiaoma saw they were labeled Fenghua No.1, I’ve already ordered them for analysis in the city."
Gan Zi understood this clearly; he said, "Bai Ye, the killer isn’t only meticulous, she understands psychology, she deliberately took three syringes so we believe Xu Ruowei died from Fenghua No.1, then when our investigation nears completion, the case takes a sudden turn with the reveal of three Fenghua No.1!"
Su Tianqing added, "The killer not only understands the use of Fenghua No.1, she can even manufacture it. Such a high IQ woman, if killing, would do so stealthily without a trace, terrifying!"
Qiao Xiaoyan immediately stated, "It should be, right? The town has a plant specializing in producing Fenghua No.1. Xu Ruowei came for it, but this is highly confidential. Such a talented individual should be known in the small town! She not only understands Fenghua No.1’s use but can create it; truly genius!"
Song Zixin, hearing this, became even more anxious, "Now that Sang Dawei is missing, if she’s involved, what will she do? How could she bear to harm a child?"
As they spoke, the Sang Family’s phone rang.
Everyone exchanged glances, no one spoke.
Gan Zi first suggested, "It could be the killer calling; answer quickly!"
Sang’s mother immediately answered the phone, and Bai Ye had already arranged for the Sang House phone to be monitored, ordering a trace on the location.
