Chapter 803: Chapter 554: Extra - Women Acting Coy (Part 2)

"Xiaoyan, let’s get married!" Bai Ye suddenly blurted out.

Qiao Xiaoyan was startled. Their love had just begun and already talking about marriage?

Bai Ye saw her not speaking and said, "Xiaoyan, don’t you want to marry me?"

Qiao Xiaoyan snapped out of it, "Of course not, it’s just that I didn’t expect it so soon!"

"We haven’t known each other that long, but I want to have you, to have you from head to toe!" Bai Ye reached out to caress her face...

Just as Bai Ye’s confession was about to end, a policeman had already driven up in a police car, "Brother Bai, something big has happened..."

Bai Ye frowned in displeasure. No matter how big the matter, it wasn’t bigger than his time with Qiao Xiaoyan!

Qiao Xiaoyan looked at the newcomer and asked cordially, "What’s the matter?"

This brother quickly said, "Chen Lin retracted his confession in court!"

"What?" Bai Ye was also taken aback, "Why?"

"He said he didn’t kill Chen Hui!" the policeman immediately said, "The chief is furious, Brother Bai, you should go back quickly!"

Bai Ye took a glance at Qiao Xiaoyan, "Chen Lin clearly admitted with his own mouth that he killed Chen Hui, why would he retract his confession during the court hearing?"

"Also, Brother Bai, there’s been a homicide in the city..." before he could finish his sentence, Bai Ye interrupted him, "I won’t take any cases right now!"

However, because Chen Lin retracted his confession in court, overturning all the testimonies, they were all taken by surprise!

Qiao Xiaoyan and Bai Ye stood in the gallery, Chen Lin saw them coming, and boastfully said, "I accidentally killed my sister, but I didn’t kill Chen Hui. The reason I confessed is because I know a secret..."

A secret? What secret? This left everyone dumbfounded.

...

It was past lunchtime at two in the afternoon, Bai Ye was still in the office with Qiao Xiaoyan, researching the secret Chen Lin mentioned, when his phone rang again.

"Hello." Bai Ye answered the phone.

"Officer Bai, please come to Hao Ming Hotel in town quickly, there’s been a homicide." On the other end, a colleague from the town’s police station urged.

"What?" Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise, "Seal the crime scene well, let no one enter, and don’t let any hotel staff leave, we’re heading over right away."

"Xiaoyan, hurry! Call the forensic team, come with me right away." Bai Ye said seriously, "There’s a homicide at the hotel in town."

Bai Ye drove the police car, rushing to the crime scene.

As soon as Bai Ye stepped into the hotel, a police officer came forward to give a briefing.

"The deceased’s name is Xu Ruowei, female, thirty-five years old, and she was the leader of Fenghua Group’s inspection team that arrived in our town a couple of days ago." The officer briefed Bai Ye while leading him to the deceased’s room.

"Xu Ruowei! The operations director of Fenghua Group!" Bai Ye paused for a moment, then continued walking, "She’s a well-known figure in town!"

"Yes, when she was found, she was lying naked on the bed, already dead," the officer continued, "Blood stained half the sheets red."

"Naked?" Qiao Xiaoyan, following behind, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Xu Ruowei died here in our town at such a critical moment, this is simply..."

Qiao Xiaoyan didn’t continue, not only was she anxious, but Song Ziyu should be even more anxious.

"Uh... to be precise..." the officer cautiously added, "she had a robe on, but it was open."

Entering the stairwell, Bai Ye asked, "Is the room sealed? Is the person who reported the incident still there?"

"Yes, the room is sealed, the reporter has been isolated," the officer replied.

"Good," Bai Ye turned to Qiao Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, it looks like another tricky case, when examining the scene later, make sure to be thorough and leave no stone unturned."

Bai Ye knew as well, Xu Ruowei’s death in this small town would have a bigger impact than Chen Hui’s murder case.

"Bai..." Qiao Xiaoyan grabbed his hand, "Chen Lin retracted his confession this morning, and Xu Ruowei died, could there be a connection between the two?"

Bai Ye was equally shocked, "A serial killer case?"

"Hmm..." Qiao Xiaoyan responded.

Though they had not yet examined the crime scene, their perfectly in-tune dialogue still startled Song Ziyu, who had rushed over.

"Ziyu..." Qiao Xiaoyan called her.

Song Ziyu nodded, although she already had countless questions in her mind, "Has the small town really been cursed? Why are the murders happening so frequently?"

She was a materialist, she naturally didn’t believe in curses!

Seeing her not speaking, Qiao Xiaoyan comforted her, "The crime scene hasn’t been examined yet, don’t worry, let’s wait for the results!"

"Hurry up!" Song Ziyu felt completely frozen, this time it wasn’t just anyone who died, it was Xu Ruowei, someone who came to invest in the town!

What did this mean for the safety of the town? Who would still dare to invest and build here?

Though Song Ziyu was not skilled in solving cases, she had an intuition that this must be a serial killer case!

But, who is this killer? Where is he? If it truly wasn’t Chen Lin, then what kind of person is he?

A hotel staff member was being questioned.

She said, "Last night, Miss Xu ended a full day of field inspection and returned to the hotel with Mr. Gan in the evening."

"Senior, thank you for today! You accompanied me all day, I still need to stay in town for a period to investigate various environmental parameters before heading back to the company." Xu Ruowei reached out to shake Gan Zi’s hand, "It’s a pity you’re leaving tonight..."

Bai Ye couldn’t help but interject, "She’s always trying to seduce men..."

The staff member immediately agreed, "She looked at Mr. Gan as if she wanted to devour him whole, but I’m just a service worker, and that’s all I heard. I left right after, and didn’t see Miss Xu again after that..."

Qiao Xiaoyan stopped Song Ziyu outside, "You better not look at the crime scene! Otherwise, you’ll be throwing up! By the way, where is General Manager Su?"

"I don’t know, I haven’t seen him since yesterday!" Song Ziyu shook her head.

Song Ziyu hadn’t even entered the room yet, but the smell of blood in the air almost made her vomit!

At this moment, Su Tianqing also arrived upon hearing the news, and he pulled Song Ziyu aside, "Don’t go in!"

Song Ziyu nodded, and they walked to a resting area together.

Su Tianqing looked at Song Ziyu, who was silent, and pulled her into his arms, understanding that this small town was becoming anything but peaceful!

Song Ziyu struggled for a moment, but he only held her tighter, "Don’t worry, I’m here!"

Song Ziyu closed her eyes; they both knew that Xu Ruowei’s situation couldn’t be hidden. As the operations director of Fenghua Group, her death in the small town would bring a huge disaster!

Song Ziyu shivered slightly, and Su Tianqing held her tightly, speaking no further, but his usually cold and handsome face showed a hint of profound mystery.

"Chen Lin retracted his confession in court!" Song Ziyu sighed, "He planned this, he definitely planned this, if this is a coincidence, I just can’t believe it..."

Su Tianqing said, "Chen Lin said he admitted to killing Chen Hui on purpose, as revenge for opening an art carving site in town, but now that Xu Ruowei is dead, he must have an accomplice, surely. The accomplice knew he had to go to court today, so he retracted his confession, and Xu Ruowei died as a result..."

Song Ziyu nodded, "Chen Lin is still a breakthrough point, but do you think our small town’s endeavors can continue?"

Su Tianqing turned her around to face him. He lowered his head, gazing at her intently, and seriously said, "Song Ziyu, I’ve never seen you give up before!"
