Chapter 139: Chapter 136: Wife’s Kiss, Then Slapped Away Sob Sob

After Qin Zhao left home, she made a trip to the police station.

The forensic scientist had already performed genetic comparison and identity confirmation on the killer’s body, and the police had discovered this man’s presence at the locations where two of the victims went missing.

However, his appearance was quite eerie, materializing out of thin air in the surveillance footage.

Not only that, but the police didn’t yet know how he got from Imperial City to Lan City.

"Yesterday, you said he wasn’t dead, what exactly do you mean?"

Huo Xun asked Qin Zhao with some concern.

Although the killer had been caught, there were still many puzzling elements to the case that left him feeling uneasy.

Qin Zhao had a dossier on the killer.

His name was Tu Zongxi, a Hua Country national. However, he lived mainly in T Country and had only recently returned to his home country.

Many Buddha charms from T Country had been found on Tu Zongxi’s person, along with a Witch Scripture, which led to the conclusion that he was a follower of some minor religion in T Country.

It was because of this Witch Scripture that Huo Xun believed that Tu Zongxi must be skilled in some kind of dark arts.

"His soul ran away, but it’s okay now, I’ve dealt with it."

Qin Zhao explained to Huo Xun while reviewing the dossier.

Huo Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, but it’s a shame we haven’t found Xiao Yuan’s body yet."

"Let me have a look at that Witch Scripture. The secret of how he suddenly got from Imperial City to Liancheng might be in this scripture."

"We couldn’t understand the writing on the Witch Scripture. Maybe you could ask Chu Yan to decode it."

Huo Xun handed her the Witch Scripture, and Qin Zhao’s expression turned odd.

The Witch Scripture was made from very ancient leather, consisting only of a thin dozen or so pages. The writing was similar to a string of text that Tu Zongxi had left online, and Qin Zhao truly did not recognize it.

Did she have to go back to find Chu Yan?

Qin Zhao’s gaze darkened as she said to Huo Xun, "Can I keep this item with me for now?"

"Sure, if Chu Yan manages to translate it, just let me know."

"...." She really didn’t feel like dealing with that bastard.

At this moment, a police officer came over.

"We found an online missing person notice from years ago, and the child they were looking for is also named Tu Zongxi. The child’s eyebrows and eyes resemble those of the killer."

"Bring it to me."

Having already caught the killer, Huo Xun was still quite interested in Chu Yan’s analysis from last time.

The rest of the police department also wanted to know the reason behind Tu Zongxi’s crimes.

With Tu Zongxi dead, they couldn’t extract the information from his mouth and had to find the answers themselves.

"The person who posted the missing person notice was the child’s grandfather. I just tried, and the number from the notice can still be reached. Should we make a call for an interview?"

"Let’s do that."

Huo Xun agreed, and the police officer hurried to follow up.

Qin Zhao was also waiting for an answer on this side. If it wasn’t as Chu Yan had guessed, she would go back and mock him!

In about half an hour, they had an answer.

"Tu Zongxi’s grandfather said he was seven when he went missing. Tu Zongxi’s parents were both out working, and later his father died in an accident, and his mother ran off with someone.

His mother came back to see him once, and after that, he cried every day wanting to find her.

Once, he ran out and never came back.

Based on the old man’s recollection, the mother was wearing a light blue long dress the day she came back to see him. That kind of clothing was very fashionable, never before seen worn by anyone in their village, so the memory was very vivid in the old man’s mind."

Huo Xun appeared pensive, "Tu Zongxi only returned to the country recently; he’s been abroad before this. How could a child have the means to go abroad after leaving home?"

"In the year he disappeared, there was a rather sensational human trafficking case. Many children were abducted and sold off to T Country. Could it be that he ended up there through such means?"

Having lost his parents in childhood and then experienced trafficking after leaving home, such experiences indeed made it easy to propel a distortion in his personality.

He longed for a mother’s love, which is why he left home to find her.

Yet it was during this search that he encountered even greater misfortune.

It was not hard to understand why Tu Zongxi had a love-hate relationship with his mother.

"It seems that guy’s analysis was pretty accurate," Huo Xun muttered under his breath as he stroked his chin.

Suddenly he felt like digging Chu Yan out and bringing him to the police force to be a criminal psychology analyst or something.

This couple, each was more unbelievable than the other.

With the case progressing to this point, it was almost concluded. Huo Xun indicated that he would apply for the promised reward money for Qin Zhao as soon as possible.

"I’ll go first then."

Qin Zhao, with the Witch Scripture in hand, left the police station.

Tu Zongxi had many mysterious aspects about him; even his soul could possess others after death. Perhaps only this Witch Scripture could unravel these secrets.

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but be somewhat interested in the witchcraft from Country T.

She took a taxi back home, and Chu Yan had not yet returned.

When she had left, the room was in shambles.

But now, it was neat and tidy, with even a new glass door installed on the shower.

Qin Zhao knew it was Chu Yan’s doing, but she remained cold.

She put away the Witch Scripture, not wanting to find Chu Yan to translate it just yet.

In her free time, while playing on her phone, she stumbled upon a video related to the Mu Family.

During this period, the relevant authorities had thoroughly investigated the Mu Family and had actually uncovered that descendants of the Mu Family were involved in human trafficking, which had ruined Elder Mu’s good reputation built over many years.

Although Elder Mu had retired, his influence in the political world was strong.

It was because he wholeheartedly supported Lu Tingming that so many industry insiders endorsed him.

Under the current circumstances, the Mu Family was undoubtedly going to fall.

For fear of bringing trouble upon themselves, all the big shots would no longer have contact with the Mu Family.

The matter with Lizhu Garden alone wouldn’t have resulted in such severe consequences.

It was like a fuse that ignited all the traps those behind the scenes had prepared.

In a flash, the mighty entity crumbled to pieces.

Lu Tingming, who once prided himself on being a student of Elder Mu, now could only maintain an awkward smile when journalists asked about the Mu Family matter, quickly steering away from the subject.

He used to be the most likely candidate to win the election, but now his ranking had fallen out of the top ten.

Lu Tingming’s opponents probably laughed themselves to sleep these days.

While watching the video, Qin Zhao pondered the connection of these events with Chu Yan, so she didn’t notice Chu Yan had returned, and was walking towards her.

"Zhaozhao."

Chu Yan called her several times, but Qin Zhao did not respond.

He felt a sense of loss, realizing she was still angry.

Chu Yan sat down beside her, inching closer, intending to kiss her.

"Qin Zhao, I want to kiss you."

Ling Yi said, if a kiss won’t make things better, then kiss several more times.

Chu Yan planned to carry on with this approach.

Only then did Qin Zhao notice him moving closer, and her expression darkened instantly. She waved him off with a slap, "Kiss your big ghost head! Get lost!"

Struck on the head by his wife’s slap, almost concussed, Chu Yan was left speechless: "....."

Great, Ling Yi, there goes your bonus for the month!!
