Chapter 378: No Way!
Chapter 378: No Way!
When the video reached this point.
The truth about Qiu Tingfang, or rather, Wang Mei’s death, finally emerged.
She was most likely killed by her sister, Wang Hao!
Wang Hao’s motive was that after Wang Mei enjoyed a privileged life, she no longer harbored any thoughts of revenge.
This was cruel for Wang Hao.
She and Wang Mei were twin sisters.
Although she was the older sister, in reality, she might just be a little older than Wang Mei.
When life required major decisions, she unhesitatingly let her younger sister live happily.
While she herself endured the greatest suffering of the world.
Not just Wang Mei, even Chen Xiao couldn’t imagine how Wang Hao managed to live until now.
How mature must a little girl be to survive on her own?
Even fate wouldn’t let her go at all.
After growing up, she met a man who loved her like a father.
But the man ultimately belonged to another family.
Whether it was family or love, for Wang Hao, she should be extremely averse to betrayal.
Wang Mei’s repeated insistence was a form of betrayal for Wang Hao!
So, she decided to kill Wang Mei.
After killing Wang Mei, she stripped off her sister’s clothes.
Because people come into this world naked and should leave it the same way.
Moreover, the luxury garments on Wang Mei were like thorns to Wang Hao.
Of course, this was merely Chen Xiao’s interpretation of Wang Hao’s murder after watching the video.
The video continued.
Wang Mei, sitting in front of the camera, sighed deeply:
"Dear Old Qiu, I have to meet my sister. I will place this video in a spot where you and Mom would know, because you both have said this hairpin looks best on me."
"I think if something were to happen to me, you’d definitely find this video. However, if I come back unharmed, you’ll never hear these words."
"By then, I will leave Hai City with you both and never return again."
The video ended here.
Chen Xiao looked at the grieving Qiu Huasheng and remained silent.
He didn’t know what to say.
Because in Wang Mei’s mind, the video was supposed to be found quickly by her adoptive parents.
But the reality was that if Chen Xiao hadn’t mentioned it, Qiu Huasheng and Mu Rong wouldn’t have thought of the hairpin at all.
Most importantly, poor Wang Mei didn’t even know that her death would lead to Mu Rong having a heart attack and passing away.
Qiu Huasheng was still crying.
Chen Xiao could only move to the side with his laptop and dial Pan Huiping’s number.
"Hello, Captain Pan, we might have found the killer who murdered Qiu Tingfang."
"Who is it?!" Pan Huiping asked excitedly.
"It’s most likely Wang Hao, also known as the second female corpse in Leigong Mountain." As he spoke, Chen Xiao seemed to sense the shock on the other end of the line and continued:
"I’ll send you a video, and once you watch it on your computer, you’ll understand everything."
Pan Huiping didn’t say much and hung up first.
After sending the video to Pan Huiping, Chen Xiao simply sat quietly to the side.
In his heart, a voice asked him: Is the case solved?
When this question surfaced, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He came to investigate the death of Qiu Tingfang.
Now that the video had surfaced, it meant that the case of Qiu Tingfang’s death could be considered resolved.
But was the case really over?
Far from it!
On the contrary, Wang Hao’s instinct was right!
She told her sister Wang Mei that she felt the person who killed their parents was around them!
If this instinct was wrong, Wang Hao wouldn’t have died!
Even if she died, she wouldn’t have been buried along the road leading to the crime scene!
That cunning individual had already been sharpening their knife!
Although he probably didn’t expect the avenging sisters would start killing before they could find him.
In the end, he easily took care of the rest.
Actually, he could have been more secretive.
For instance, after killing Wang Hao, he could have buried her in another remote mountain forest.
That would have made things more difficult for the police!
But why didn’t he do so?
Chen Xiao thought about it and realized the killer might know that once Qiu Tingfang was dead, the case couldn’t just disappear without resolution.
Qiu Tingfang’s presence was a significant investment for both Celestial Valley District and Sanshui Town.
If someone like her was killed, even if the police found it was Wang Hao who did it, the investigation wouldn’t stop there.
The entire case’s causes and consequences would be thoroughly investigated!
Because, there was still Qiu Huasheng!
As expected, after Qiu Huasheng’s cries gradually faded, his expression became increasingly hideous.
"None can be spared!"
"No one should get away with this!"
"Tingfang is gone, Mu Rong is gone, now it’s only me left!"
"This can’t be the end. Investigate... continue to investigate to the end!"
"I want to know who he is! I want to see who he really is!"
Qiu Huasheng shouted angrily and rushed to Chen Xiao:
"Mr. Chen, I have money! As long as you can find out who he is, you can choose anywhere, and I’ll pay for it!"
"I want to know who he is, and right now only you have a chance of finding out!"
Watching Qiu Huasheng, who seemed mad, Chen Xiao didn’t reply immediately.
Instead, he placed a hand on Qiu’s shoulder and said, "I’m thinking."
Qiu Huasheng gritted his teeth.
Even though he couldn’t calm his heart, he had to force himself to stay quiet.
Chen Xiao withdrew his hand and couldn’t help but look out the window.
He still felt that Wang Hao’s plan wasn’t wrong.
Because a crucial step in the plan was that the first step in returning to find her roots was making a charitable donation to the orphanage again!
As long as it caused a stir, that person who feared them would surely take notice.
But in this whole case, Chen Xiao had to distinguish whether the killer and the trafficker were the same person or separate individuals.
After Wang Hao Sisters’ parents were killed, they were taken away.
Regarding the person who took them away, neither Wang Hao in front of Xu Fu, nor Wang Mei in the video seemed to elaborate much.
Instead, they were focused on finding the person who killed their parents!
However, Wu Guansheng, whom Chen Xiao met in Xiuzhou, mentioned a critical figure, Boss Qiu Qiu Yu!
And Qiu Yu was most likely the person in Zheng Xiang’s coffin.
Thus, Zheng Xiang’s death became very questionable too.
Zheng Xiang and Qiu Yu might both have been murdered the second year after Wang Hao Sisters were adopted.
Upon thinking about this, Chen Xiao’s mind became chaotic again.
He felt that a case he thought was half-solved was once again mired in confusion.
At this time, the gloomy sky roared with thunder again!
"Rumble!"
Chen Xiao’s eyes focused due to the thunder.
This thunderstorm was more intense than last night’s, and as soon as the rumbling began, heavy raindrops started to fall.
Standing by the window, Chen Xiao stared at the soaked earth outside, his eyes widening suddenly.
"It can’t be!"
"It can’t be him!"
