This kind of murderous fiend, this heartless and crazed person, if she didn’t bring the other party to justice swiftly, how could she live with her own conscience?
These past few days, she had completely forgotten about the assassination case of Chen Jianguo and had devoted herself entirely to this case. Each day, she could only sleep a few hours, and each ti she did sleep, she couldn’t sleep soundly, always dreaming that another incident had occurred.
The murderer was like a ticking ti bomb buried in G City, and no one knew when it would explode again. So, for the personal safety of the citizens of G City, she must find this murderer as soon as possible, no matter what.
But what was infuriating was that this murderer was exceedingly cunning. At three cri scenes, not a single piece of evidence was left behind. He was like a ghost, appearing at various scenes, creating one incident after another, without leaving even a fingerprint.
On the other hand, looking for a motive from the victims’ side was also completely restricted. For the past few days, she led the entire police force to conduct ticulous investigations on the relatives of the victims, or the victims themselves, hoping to find so connections, such as whether there were common victims at several scenes, or if the perpetrator’s motive was revenge, and if so, whether they had any common enemies to look into.
However, they were disappointed once again.
From the current findings, the three incidents seed like genuine accidents. If they had not been carefully inspected and found not to be accidents, they really would have treated these incidents as matters beyond their control.
The victims of these incidents were mostly ordinary people from various professions and with different social statuses, with no connections at all. Moreover, while so did have people they disliked and had disputes with in their lives, they essentially had no enemies who would want them dead.
As for a common enemy, there were none at all.
What has been happening to G City lately?
Why is it one thing after another, with no mont of peace?
ditation ruminated over the entire case again in her mind, eventually unable to find any trace of a clue. Zeng Xiaoi, drained, rested her hands on the desk in front of her, feeling an imnse weariness from the depths of her soul.
First, there was the child trafficking case, then the Chen Jianguo assassination, and following closely, this incident...
It was almost non-stop; each case exhausted her physically and ntally...
Even soone as strong as she eventually couldn’t help feeling weary in her heart...
"Xiaoi, are you really determined to follow this path? You must know, this path is extrely challenging, it is both dangerous and exhausting..."
In her exhaustion, Zeng Xiaoi suddenly rembered the words her master and grandfather had spoken when she decided to join the criminal investigation team, as well as the expressions on their faces, and recalled her response at that ti.
"Master, Grandfather, don’t worry, I will definitely not regret this. I must beco the best criminal police officer and bring all criminals to justice!"
At that ti, her face still had a trace of naivety, but her eyes were clear and resolute, without a hint of hesitation.
Yes, I will definitely not regret it!
Since I have made the decision, there is absolutely no room for regret!
The weariness in Zeng Xiaoi’s eyes gradually vanished, her gaze started to brighten and beco steadfast. Her small hand gradually clenched into a fist as if to encourage herself, she waved it in the air and voiced firmly, "I will bring all criminals to justice, one by one!"
"Ring, ring...!"
Her statent had just been finished when her phone began to ring urgently.
"Hello, this is Officer Zeng Xiaoi from the city bureau, how can I assist you?"
Zeng Xiaoi put down her hand, took out her phone without looking at the caller ID, and directly pressed the answer button. Her tone was extraordinarily firm, and her face was no longer clouded with the previous worry, anger, or other negative emotions, only determination remained.
In that brief mont earlier, her deanor had undergone a significant transformation, her spirit having been unwittingly cleansed and refined.
"Is this Officer Zeng? I am a common citizen, and I have so information to report to you."
A hoarse and unfamiliar voice ca through the handset.
"What information?"
Zeng Xiaoi’s eyes suddenly brightened.
"I have so evidence of cris committed by the Li Group, involving extrely heinous offenses. Officer Zeng, I wonder if you can bring them to justice?"
"Sir, we are the police, and no matter who commits a cri, as long as there is conclusive evidence, we will surely bring the criminal to justice!"
Upon hearing sothing different from what she had imagined about those accident cases, Zeng Xiaoi felt slightly disappointed, but her spirits lifted imdiately, and she responded with utmost seriousness.
"Oh, that’s good. I’ve also heard that Officer Zeng, you are upright and despise evil, enforcing the law justly, which is why I ca to you. Nowadays, good police officers like you are really rare."
Being praised by soone she didn’t know, a stranger who provided tips, made Zeng Xiaoi feel genuinely happy.
"Is that so? Well, anyway, I only trust you, Officer Zeng. Listen, I’m going to tell you an address where I’ve left the materials. You can co and pick them up. It’s a newsstand on XX Street and XX Road. When you get there, just say your na, and that’ll be enough."
The raspy voice didn’t take Zeng Xiaoi’s words seriously, but he didn’t say much else and returned to the main point.
"Alright, Officer Zeng, I’ve asked them to keep the items for two hours. Rember, you can bring people with you, but apart from yourself, no one else is allowed to take anything. Whether you co or not is up to you."
"Hello, sir, may I ask..."
Zeng Xiaoi’s thoughts had just regained so clarity, and she was about to ask the mysterious caller who suddenly contacted her, offering tips and materials, who he really was, where he was, and whether he could co directly to the police station. However, before she could finish her sentence, the phone had already been hung up.
This...
Listening to the dial tone coming from the receiver, Zeng Xiaoi reluctantly put down the phone. She wanted to check the caller ID to see where it was from, but to her surprise, it showed up as a public number. Reluctantly, she abandoned the idea of calling back.
Should I go there?
Can his words be trusted?
Does he really have important, substantive material?
Why doesn’t he co directly to the police station?
Is he afraid of reprisal from the Li Family, or is there so other reason?
Also, how did this person get my mobile number?
Sitting back down in her chair, one question after another flickered in her mind, analyzing the credibility of the man’s words. Her gaze flickered, hesitating whether or not to go.
Why shouldn’t I go?
As a police officer, should I be afraid of her under the daylight?
Suddenly, after analyzing in her mind for a while, a determined look flashed in Zeng Xiaoi’s eyes. She slamd her hand down on the desk, stood up, and quickly walked toward the front office door.
After all, with the current situation, staying in this office might not yield any clues anyway. It might as well serve as a break to clear my mind!
When she left the police station, Officer Zeng didn’t take anyone with her and drove directly to the street ntioned by the mysterious caller. She was naturally familiar with G City. Although G City was too vast for her to claim familiarity with every street, she knew the general areas.
Soon, Officer Zeng’s patrol car arrived at the street ntioned earlier and spotted the newsstand.
When she clearly saw the newsstand, Officer Zeng was completely stunned. Prior to her arrival, she had imagined the newsstand might be located in so secluded corner, potentially a dangerous spot. However, she never expected it to be in such a bustling location with exceptionally good business.
Not just the newsstand, but the entire street was bustling with people coming and going.
Could this have been a prank call, a joke, a prank?
Coming back to her senses, Officer Zeng looked at the constant flow of people in front of her, and an idea unavoidably arose in her mind—the more she thought about it, the more likely it seed, especially recalling the tone of the man earlier.
Forget it, I’m already here. Even if it is a prank, I’ll check it out anyway.
Initially, after suspecting it might be a prank call, Officer Zeng had planned to leave imdiately, but at the mont of starting the car, she hesitated and decided to go check it out anyway.
Putting on the parking brake, she parked the car and walked down. As she approached the newsstand, she heightened her Spiritual Sense to its peak, continuously observing her surroundings. If she noticed anyone paying attention to her, confirming they were the prankster, she would definitely not show rcy. (To be continued.
