Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

Chapter 183 Faceless Man 26

At that time, her stepfather had passed away, and the mother and daughter were dependent on each other. They had not contacted her brother and sister-in-law for a long time.

She had no idea what was happening, and all she could think about was why.

Why would such a tragic thing happen to two such good people like my brother and sister-in-law?

Why is it that in such a happy family of three, there is only one child left who has not graduated from college?

"I really didn't feel anything at first. Then one day, I received a strange phone call in the middle of the night. I was so sleepy that I picked up the phone without thinking about anything."

The voice on the other end of the phone was soft and urgent, as if he was afraid, and as if he was avoiding someone.

Qiu Yizhen was frightened by the call and sat up from the bed.

At this time, the boy on the other side of the phone said, "Gu, help me."

Bai Ji'an frowned, "When you were still working at Rongsheng Group, someone was already hunting Huo Zichao?"

"No... no." Qiu Yizhen recalled: "He just said that at the time. Later when we met, Zichao said that after his parents died, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it and couldn't find any evidence. He He always said that he thought his parents' death was not an accident. I thought he was too sad and thought too much."

But I couldn't bear to keep talking to myself again and again.

In order to repay her brother for helping her at work.

Qiu Yizhen followed Huo Zichao's words for no reason and used the inheritance left by Huo Lin to buy a newly opened house in "Jiahe Community".

Qiu Yizhen was responsible for arranging workers to carry out simple decoration. After everything was in place, she gave the key to Huo Zichao.

Huo Zichao quietly moved into the house named Qiu Yizhen.

In fact, Qiu Yizhen didn't spend a penny on this house at all.

"You haven't asked him?" Bai Ji'an asked, "Did he know anything?"

"I asked. But Zichao just shook his head. He said it was best not to know anything and that it was safest not to know anything."

Bai Ji'an learned the cause and effect. He recalled Qiu Yizhen's attitude towards Yan Haizhen and his group at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and finally understood everything.

"In other words, the reason why you said at the police station that you didn't want to know everything about the case was because Huo Zichao once told you that it's best not to know anything, because if you know, you might die, right?"

Qiu Yizhen held her head and remained silent.

"In order to save you and your mother, you can only insist to the police that you don't know the deceased in the house. Let the police mistakenly think that the faceless man is a thief who spotted the empty house and moved in without permission. Is that right?"

Qiu Yizhen put her hands on the ground, "You haven't answered me yet."

"Answer what?"

"You, how on earth do you know?"

"It's very simple." Bai Ji'an said bluntly: "Because I noticed that you lied to the public security bureau. Later, after investigation, I found that there were great doubts about your brother and sister-in-law, so I dug into your story after reorganizing the family. According to all the information, your stepfather, brother and sister-in-law passed away one after another, you and your mother moved to Australia, and only one person seems to have disappeared from the world."

Qiu Yizhen couldn't believe it.

"Just because of this?"

"I said that the center of my investigation has always been you, so I became aware of Huo Zichao's existence because of you."

Bai Ji'an opened an unnamed file from his mobile phone. The dense numbers in it were the records of Qiu Yizhen's calls to the same number in China twice a month in the years after he went abroad.

"It's strange." Bai Ji'an turned the phone screen to Qiu Yizhen, "Regardless of who you are calling, just because each call lasts for one minute, it is very strange. It feels like you are afraid, afraid of someone You will be discovered, monitored, and even found via phone calls."

Bai Ji'an continued: "But the above are all my guesses. But at the next point in time, if it were you, how would you explain it?"

The last recorded call was a month and a half ago.

The subsequent ones were all records of calls Qiu Yizhen made from overseas but were not connected.

"Normally, the frequency of your phone calls is twice a month. The last phone call was a month and a half ago. At first, when you couldn't contact the other party, you took the initiative to make countless calls. Later, you seemed to notice something. I have never called this number again. And you and I both know that the time of death of the person who died in the house under your name was just a month ago."

Faced with all kinds of evidence before her eyes, Qiu Yizhen no longer had any room to hide.

She seemed to have accepted her fate. She raised her head and looked at Bai Ji'an with tears on her face: "Will someone kill me?"

Bai Ji'an shook his head regretfully, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

"I don't know..." Qiu Yizhen couldn't believe it, "How could you not know? Are you refusing to tell me!"

The strange man in front of her, whether on the phone or face to face, said everything about what happened to her.

As long as he wanted to investigate, how could he not know what happened to Huo Zichao!

Were the deaths of Huo Lin and Wang Xinran accidental or man-made?

How could he not know!

"You lied to me." Qiu Yizhen stood up, looked at Bai Ji'an with blood-red eyes, and said: "You lied to me, tell me, you must know! Right! Tell me! I beg you to tell me !”

By the end, the feeble plea gradually turned into a roar.

As if she had lost all her sanity, Qiu Yizhen rushed towards Bai Ji'an.

She grasped Bai Ji'an's arm tightly with both hands, wishing she could insert her fingertips into it.

"You must know, you must have found out, right? Tell me, tell me. My brother and sister-in-law are dead, Zichao is also dead, will it be my turn sooner or later! Please let me die clearly, I beg you Please, let me understand!"

"You calm down!"

Bai Ji'an tried his best to break free from the hands that held him, but the out-of-control woman's strength was simply unimaginable.

But if he really attacks her, innocent people will be hurt.

"Let me go first, I have something to say."

Bai Ji'an planned to stabilize her spirit first.

Qiu Yizhen raised her face, "Are you willing to tell me?"

"Sorry, I didn't lie to you. I really don't know the secret behind Huo Zichao."

"Then you can investigate! Right?" Qiu Yizhen held Bai Ji'an tightly, "Yes, aren't you a detective? I entrust you, I entrust you, you find the murderer and find out the reason. When the time comes, I will take all the I’ll give you all my savings, okay?”

"If agreeing to your commission allows you to let go of my arm, I'm very willing."

After hearing this, Qiu Yizhen regained some sense.

She stared blankly at the shirt that was wrinkled by her fingers, and the next second, she suddenly retracted her hands as if she was electrocuted.

"Feel sorry."

Bai Ji'an didn't speak, but quietly stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkles.
