Chapter 193: A most unlikely suspect

Her phone buzzed in less than a minute and she announced "It’s here."

Detective Li Tao looked at her suspiciously, "What exactly does this friend of yours do?" He asked with a frown on his face.

Once a detective, always a detective! Even though the information was helpful to them, he could not help but wonder if the information came through criminal channels.

"He works in the Empire’s national security agency. I do the agency favors once in a while and when I make a request that is not excessive, they do the same for me." She lied.

The national security agency of the empire was responsible for protecting the citizens of the empire from acts of terrorism, espionage and the like. By claiming such an identity, she would save herself the burden of having to answer any more questions.

"Oh, so you work for the empire." Li Tao was pleasantly shocked. "Wow, it’s always good to meet young people like you all who contribute to the growth of our empire. "

Chi Lian could not help but wonder if he believed her or he just brushed it off because he needed the information in her hands.

"Boss, what did your friend send?" Squirrel asked.

She looked at her phone and read, "Hu Dieshang is a female, twenty five years old, daughter of a woman named Hu Moran. Her father is unknown; she has a degree in veterinary....."

Chi Lian was suddenly stunned into silence. No wonder T4 had said that she would be shocked if she learned about Hu Dieshang’s background.

"T4, scan this entire town and locate her immediately. Find her address and send a drone, if it can gain access to her house, I want to see everything inside. Better still, station the drone somewhere in her house temporarily."

"Boss," Squirrel called.

"Miss Chi." Li Tao called.

They were all perplexed, what had she seen that robbed her of words?

"Squirrel, where is that list of people who refused the compensation? You were the one who wrote the names down." she asked suddenly.

Squirrel brought it over and everyone patiently waited as she looked from it to her phone. Then she started laughing abruptly.

"Miss Chi, what’s going on?" Li Tao asked in a concerned voice.

"Detective, what do you know about Hu Dieshang?" she asked him.

Li Tao scratched his head as he tried to place the name. It took him a while to recall who the name belonged to.

"The nurse, you mean Kun Shikai’s nurse that was always his alibi. Are you asking about her?"

She nodded, "Yes, her." She said.

"She was never a suspect so there is not much information about her. We never even looked into her, why do you ask? She possibly couldn’t...." he didn’t complete his statement. Instead, he observed Chi Lian’s face for clues.

"She is on the list of people who rejected the compensation. Are you sure that her name never came up on your list of suspects?" she asked him.

Li Tao looked at her as if she was speaking a foreign language. "How is this possible? When we questioned her back then, she said she did not know Xie Gunzhing, I clear remember her saying that because I thought that it was weird of her to never have met him when he was Shikai’s best friend. He often visited the hospital to see Shikai and get his dogs treated from there.

We questioned her and Shikai three times but she was always his alibi. She would be outside tending to the walk ins while he was inside the treatment room, operating on a sick animal. Besides, you just said that she is twenty four years old what was she back then eighteen or nineteen. Surely you are not saying that a nineteen year old girl killed six people back then and has been killing since then."

He did not want to believe it because he had questioned her many times himself and he never once considered her a suspect. How did he not see it? What did he miss?

"There is no age limit on a killer ex detective. Even a thirteen year old can commit murder; we see them in juvenile court. So why can’t a nineteen year old do it?" Piggy asked.

Li Tao was lost in thought and disbelief. His mind knew what the young man said was true but his heart did not want to believe it.

"Motive," he said, "What could have been her motive?"

"Ex detective, did you not hear me reading her name off the list of those who refused the compensation Xie Gunzhing offered? It’s obvious, his father did something to her or her family and then she killed him in retaliation." Squirrel said cleverly.

"Then what about the rest of the victims?" he asked.

"They must be related to whatever his father did to Hu Dieshang’s family. It’s either them or their parents, sometimes the sins of the parents are paid for by the children. It’s something my grandmother said once to justify trying to hit me." Chi Lian responded to his question. "Or they are just random people who fell victim to her because she developed a taste for blood."

She was mostly guessing according to her assumptions as they went along but it was looking more and more like she could be right.

"But she had an alibi." Li Tao insisted.

"No, she was Doctor Shi Shikai’s alibi, he was not hers. Besides, you said the vet was in the treatment room operating on an animal while she stayed outside. For all you know, she could have walked away from the hospital for a while and returned before he could finish the surgery. "She retorted.

"Host, congratulations on identifying the killer however the target has been located and she is on the move. You should take a picture proving she is the murderer and reveal her identity to the world."

"No, that’s reckless. I should just post a hint and not outright declare that she is the killer. If I reveal her identity these people will be suspicious of me after all, the only people on her trail are the ones in this room right now."

"Host I have located the target, she is driving out of the town right now, it looks like she is heading to the woods near the lake in the East and there is a tiny cabin in the area. From my scan just now, I know that there is someone tied up in the cabin. You need to hurry."

Her phone buzzed and she glanced at it briefly with no intention of catering to whatever was demanding her attention. It was a message from Muyang saying, "We have found her."
