656 Suspicious Points
In the classroom, the three of them fell into a long silence.
Hu Wu suddenly grimaced. “Lu Benwei, tell me honestly. Why was your divine sense repelled?”
“I’ve already made it very clear. There’s a layer of chaotic mist on Fang Xiaoxiao’s body.” Lu Benwei exhaled.
“I can’t see through it! But we can’t rely on this to arrest Fang Xiaoxiao, right?”
The three of them were caught in an endless loop that was difficult to break.
“What about the countdown?” Chu Yan crossed her arms and asked with a frown.
“Counting the time, it should be now tomorrow.”
Hu Wu smoked his cigarette and frowned.
“We can’t let anyone else get hurt. After school tomorrow, we’ll follow Fang Xiaoxiao.”
“Good!”
The three of them reached a consensus.
…
That night, as soon as Lu Benwei entered the house, he heard Jiang Xiuqin’s nagging.
“It’s fine if your son is always out of tune. How old are you? Don’t you know how to look after a pot?”
Jiang Xiuqin scolded Lu Dayong as she wiped the stove with a rag.
Lu Dayong’s face was covered in dust as he waited in the corner of the kitchen for Jiang Xiuqin to punish him.
“What are you waiting for? Get some water!”
Lu Dayong nodded and went to the sink to get busy.
After a while, Jiang Xiuqin started scolding Lu Dayong again. “You don’t know how to fetch water.”
When Lu Benwei saw this scene, he laughed bitterly and said loudly, “Dad, Mom, we’re back.”
“Little Lu, you’re back? Just in time. Come and help me pour the fish soup into the clay pot. I’ll make soup noodles for Little Yan tonight!” Jiang Xiuqin ordered.
“Coming!” Lu Benwei shouted in response.
When he saw Lu Dayong looking at him gratefully, he immediately chuckled and went into the kitchen.
Lu Dayong walked out of the kitchen as if he was relieved of a heavy burden.
He saw two school bags hanging on the hook at the door and said, “Little Yan, why are you two carrying your school bags when you go out?”
Chu Yan replied casually, “Little Lu and I needed to look up some information, so we went to the city library.”
“I see!”
Lu Dayong did not mind and went back to the living room to watch TV.
Chu Yan had stayed with the Lu family for many days and became familiar with them. She also went to help in the kitchen. Everything was natural, just like an ordinary family of four.
Time passed naturally, and in the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
Before the two of them went to bed, they received a call from Hu Wu. Another murder had occurred in Green Spirit City, and the victim’s internal organs had been emptied. Lu Benwei and Chu Yan rushed to the crime scene to find Hu Wu.
Hu Wu was furious. He immediately used the authority of the Law Enforcement Bureau to seal off the scene.
“What happened? Could it be that our actions today caused Fang Xiaoxiao to make her move earlier?” Lu Benwei rushed to the scene and guessed.
In front of him was a figure with a ferocious expression. His eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. His stomach was cut open with a knife, and his internal organs were all dug out. It was simply a tragic sight.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were both people who licked the blood on the tip of a knife. This scene was already familiar to them.
“I can’t rule out this possibility.” Hu Wu’s expression was solemn. This was a case he was personally responsible for. It was his dereliction of duty not to solve it as much as possible.
“What relationship does this person have with Fang Xiaoxiao?” Chu Yan asked again.
Hu Wu shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. I just checked the surveillance cameras. I didn’t find any trace of Fang Xiaoxiao.”
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were stunned at the same time.
“Could it be that our direction is wrong?”
Hu Wu heaved a long sigh of relief and frowned. “Do we have to start over?”
“Wait a moment. I don’t think we’re going in the wrong direction,” Lu Benwei suddenly said, and Chu Yan and Hu Wu looked at him at the same time.
“How do you know?”
Lu Benwei took out his phone and placed it in front of the two of them. On the screen was a chat box between him and Fang Xiaoxiao.
The first message was from a friend. The second message was from Fang Xiaoxiao.
“Don’t eat me, okay?”
It happened exactly a minute ago.
Hu Wu widened his eyes and said angrily, “F*ck, are you provoking me? Go to her house and shoot her now!”
“Old Hu, don’t be anxious! We don’t have any concrete evidence,” Lu Benwei said in a deep voice.
“Damn it, isn’t this considered not having evidence?” Hu Wu spat fiercely.
“She sent you that message after the victim died. This is a provocation!”
Lu Benwei was very helpless. “You’re a public official. What can you infer from this sentence? If she says that this is a joke, won’t we be helpless? Moreover, she doesn’t seem to mean that.”
“Then what did she mean?” Hu Wu cursed.
Lu Benwei let out a long sigh of relief.
Fang Xiaoxiao’s figure appeared in his mind. She raised her head and looked at Lu Benwei. Her terrified and puzzled gaze was like a tide that attacked Lu Benwei.
“I want to go to the school to take a look.” Lu Benwei changed the topic.
“Why are you going to school?” Hu Wu did not know why.
“According to criminal psychology, the criminal will return to the crime scene within a certain period. “Lu Benwei let out a breath.
“And I have a question that I want to confirm.”
“Alright then.” Hu Wu had no choice but to agree to Lu Benwei’s request.
Then, he handed over the control of the crime scene to the police, and the three of them hurriedly sneaked into the First Junior High School.
Yu Liang’s office was at the northernmost corner of the fourth floor in the administration building. There was a corridor connecting it to the teaching building.
Now, half of the area on the fourth floor had been sealed and a cordon had been set up. The three of them crossed the cordon and went straight to Yu Liang’s office.
“Lu Benwei, what are you trying to do?” Hu Wu fumbled in the dark as he questioned.
There was no other reason than that Lu Benwei did not want the two of them to make any noise.
“Old Hu, how did Senior Yu Liang die?”
“Just like those people!”
“Be more specific.”
Hu Wu pursed his lips impatiently, pulled out Yu Liang’s chair, and sat on it. His posture was very proper, his back was straight, and his legs were closed.
“Just this?”
Lu Benwei was a little surprised.
“Of course, what else do you want?” Hu Wu asked, not thinking too deeply.
“But have you ever thought that when a person is about to die, it’s impossible to guarantee that he’ll be so serious?”
When Hu Wu heard this, he was instantly stunned on the spot. Some thoughts kept coming to his mind, and his eyes became more and more terrified.
“I’ve seen some photos of the deceased before and found that some of the deceased’s death looks were similar to Senior Yu Liang’s. You mean, some of these people died of their own accord?” Hu Wu gulped.
