Gao Ran shook his head . "Impossible . How could people like them run away?"
From what he knew about Ian after talking with Qin Chu, Gao Ran was sure that the man wouldn't run away like a coward .
"Then why is there zero news of him? There's not even a witness that could be found . . . Don't these people need to eat and drink?"
Gao Ran was curious also; why wasn't there any movement?
Logically speaking, the police sketch artist was great at drawing accurate portraits . This many days of no news just didn't make any sense .
Little did he know . . . Ian was constantly changing appearances . . .
He and his men could change their face constantly . Back at the restaurant, when Rick and Xixi met him, Ian wasn't Ian . How was Gao Ran supposed to find a man with a million different faces?

"Did they find anything at Mo Xue'er's crime scene?" Gao Ran asked with furrowed brows .
"Not as of yet . . . The blood and the hairs found at the crime scene have been sent for testing . Results are not back yet . "
"Alright, I got it . " Gao Ran was more than frustrated . His higherups already gave him strict orders to find an answer to this murder case .
Xiang Xin was a famous socialite, Old Xiang was a highly-regarded business magnate, and Mo Xue'er was an incredibly influential celebrity .
Three lives . . . All gone within a few short days . . . No one was prepared for this .
Huo Siqian did kill Mo Xue'er himself, but Ian's men had already cleaned up the scene, erasing any evidence leading to the man .
So, the police would never suspect Huo Siqian . . . Plus, he had many alibis proving his absence from the crime during that period .
If it wasn't for the trail leading to Ian, Gao Ran would have brought Huo Siqian back to the station for questioning a long time ago .

Now . . . the case was only becoming more and more complex . . .
After the morning meeting finished, Huo Mian returned to her office and opened up her WeChat feed .
Xixi had posted a picture of the airport with a single-line caption: The beginning of a happy new life .
Huo Mian knew what this meant; Xixi and Rick had left the city for the U . S . . . but . . . would Xixi really find a happy new life there?
Huo Mian thought about Rick's complex family affairs and his fiancee Luna, the daughter of a gang leader .
She couldn't help but worry for Xixi . . .
As she stared into space, her cell phone rang . It was Little Bean on video-chat .

Huo Mian's expression immediately softened at the sight of her daughter's display picture .
"Little Bean . " Huo Mian called out her daughter's name gently .
"Mommy, what are you doing?"
"Mommy's working . "
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Yeah, I've eaten . How about you? Did you and your sister eat yet?"
"Yeah, but not at home . We went out . . . We ate salmon!" Little Bean tried to show off .
You went out? Did you girls go with Grandpa and Grandma?" Huo Mian asked .
"No . . . Uncle Su came and picked us up . Haha . " Little Bean was beaming with joy .
Hearing that it was Su Yu who took the twins out, Huo Mian's heart settled back down and wasn't worried as much . "Oh, I see . "
"Mommy . . . your makeup looks a little off today . . . " Little Bean suddenly pointed at Huo Mian's face .
"Hm?" Taken aback, Huo Mian touched her face instinctively, not knowing what was wrong .
"You should use a brighter tone of eyeshadow! The coffee brown makes you look tired . . . "
"Alright, little smarty pants, I don't need you to teach me how to put on makeup . " Huo Mian laughed .
"Mommy, Uncle Su said this seafood restaurant's really good . Do you want to come and join us? It's still early . . . You should be on lunch right now still, right?" Little Bean suggested .
Hearing Little Bean's words, Huo Mian looked down at her watch . . .
