The bureau had absolutely no leads to Xiang Xin’s death, and at the same time, Mr . Xiang was found dead and Mo Xue’er went missing . The case became more complicated than ever, and as the director of the municipal bureau, Gao Ran was under a lot of pressure .
It wasn’t until Qin Chu came looking for him and told him about Ian that Gao Ran understood what was going on .
They went to a coffee shop near the bureau and sat down . Gao Ran’s eyes widened after he heard everything Qin Chu had to say . “Chu, you’re saying that Ian orchestrated all three incidents?”
“He’s the only one capable of doing something like this . ”
“But it doesn’t make sense, he doesn’t have a motive… The Xiang Family has no connections to Ian, why would he kill Mr . Xiang and Xiang Xin?”
“He might not have connections to the Xiang Family, but he is well acquainted with Huo Siqian . ” Qin Chu was pretty calm .
“You think Huo Siqian asked Ian to deal with the Xiang Family and Mo Xue’er?”
“I’m not 100% sure about that, but I am sure that Ian’s here, and he’s the one behind all these incidents . ” Qin Chu was certain it was Ian . He knew how crazy and inhumane that man was .
“No wonder the witnesses said Xiang Xin left with a few foreigners . ”
“It doesn’t matter if you know it’s him, you won’t be able to catch him,” Qin Chu took a small sip of his coffee and said slowly .
“I know… Even the FBI can’t do anything about that terrorist, I obviously would never be able to catch him… I just don’t want anyone else in our city to die . ” Gao Chuan was really worried .
Gao Ran felt pressured; after all, C City was under his jurisdiction and if more people died, what was he supposed to tell the provincial officials?
“We’ll see if Mo Xue’er has any luck left for her . ” Qin Chu had a feeling that Mo Xue’er was already dead .
“Maybe she’ll be the last to suffer from this series of tragedies…” Gao Ran sighed .
“Did you discover anything new with Huo Siqian?” Qin Chu looked up and asked .
“No… he’s surprisingly quiet, and his schedule is even more of a routine than a high school student’s – home, office, home, office… We’ve been monitoring his calls and discovered nothing . ”
“Sometimes, nothing suspicious is what’s most suspicious…” Qin Chu analyzed calmly .
“You’re right, that’s what Huo Mian said . We also noticed that Huo Mian called Huo Siqian,” Gao Ran said .
“Oh? My wife called him?” Qin Chu asked, a little surprised .
“Mhm, I think she thinks Huo Siqian did it, she warned him not to do anything rash . I’m sure she’s weirded out by these incidents as well . ”
“What did Huo Siqian say?” Qin Chu asked .
Gao Ran smiled helplessly . “He’s a sly old fox, he knows we’re monitoring his calls so naturally, he didn’t admit to anything . But the way he spoke to Mian… it gave me goosebumps . ”
“You should get your men to investigate quietly, see if you can figure out where Mo Xue’er is . You didn’t find her body yet, which means she might still be alive… Or, maybe Ian wants her alive on purpose, for now . ” Qin Chu made a bold guess .
