Chapter 116 Luring Him Out
Weiyang Palace.

Su Miaoyi suddenly woke up from her dream.

The bedroom light was still on, and the video on my phone was still playing.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring light, panting heavily, her forehead and neck covered in sweat.

After a while, she sat up and leaned against the headboard.

I turned off the video on my phone, twirled the phone in my hand, and tried to calm my breathing.

"Ah Xu." Su Miaoyi thought about the scene in her dream, and the look in her eyes gradually turned cold. She remembered a name, "Huang Haoxu."

She closed her eyes.

Where does this memory come from? Whose memory is this?

But the man called her Su Miaoyi.

Is it her own memory?

She raised her hand and pressed her throbbing temples.

"Stop thinking about it. While you still remember, go find Lu Zhishen," the voice in your head said.

Su Miaoyi immediately turned on her phone and called Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen answered the phone quickly: "A case?"

"Hmm. Still not asleep?"

"Insomnia." Lu Zhishen was drawing in the meantime, so he switched to a different sheet of paper and said, "Go ahead and tell me."

Su Miaoyi described the appearance of the man named "A Xu" that she saw in her dream.

Lu Zhishen drew the portrait and sent it to her.

Su Miaoyi looked at the person in the portrait.

Suppressing his doubts, he called Zhuang Yanzheng again.

Lin Yue was still at the Municipal Bureau. Zhuang Yanzheng asked Lin Yue to try to find a match in the system, but no match was found.

Zhuang Yanzheng explained the current situation to Su Miaoyi.

Su Miaoyi was silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps... we can lure him out."

"Huh?" Zhuang Yanzheng didn't understand.

Su Miaoyi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night view outside, and then at herself reflected in the window.

She raised her hand and touched her reflection in the glass.

She didn't know where the memories suddenly came from, and she didn't know why, but she felt that she knew Huang Haoxu very well.

"How do we lure them out?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Su Miaoyi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it will succeed."

"You said."

Su Miaoyi said, "The murderer is currently wanted by the police. Spread the word about how he got the scar on his neck."

"You saw the scene of his throat being slit?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

From the time the portrait was drawn until it was matched with the system, Zhuang Yanzheng had no idea what Su Miaoyi had seen.

All we know is that the murderer's name is Huang Haoxu.

Su Miaoyi thought for a moment and then hummed in agreement.

"Who wants to kill him?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Hearing his question, Su Miaoyi remained silent for a moment.

She knew very well that the scene was not seen through anyone's perspective or by anyone's eyes.

It was something she dreamed about.

What she knew even more clearly was that it wasn't a dream, but a memory.

She pressed her temple again and answered his question: "I don't know, I only know it's a woman."

Zhuang Yanzheng sensed that she had something she didn't want to talk about, but he didn't press her for details.

Su Miaoyi recounted to Zhuang Yanzheng the process of Huang Haoxu having his throat slit.

"During their sparring match, did that woman harbor murderous intent?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Mm," Su Miaoyi responded.

"Since it's a competition, it must be among their own people. Are they at odds with each other?" Zhuang Yanzheng said casually.

Su Miaoyi pressed her temples and remained silent.

She felt her mind was in a mess.

It's like a tangled mess of threads; you can't find the starting point, and you can't untangle any clues.

"Will he come out if he hears about this?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“This matter is a stain on his life, and he can’t stand hearing others mention it,” Su Miaoyi said. “Moreover, he will feel that his superiors have given up on him, otherwise, this matter would not be brought up. He might even feel that his superiors are using this matter to remind him that he can die. A dying person will definitely try to resolve the source of this matter before he dies.”

"What if he confirms it with his superior?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“We can’t get in touch with him,” Su Miaoyi said. “Unless his superiors contact him, he can’t reach them. We need to act quickly.” “Is having his throat slit that important to him?” Zhuang Yanzheng asked again.

“Yes. Because apart from a few people he trusted and couldn’t touch, he later killed everyone else who knew about this,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Is this what we see in the footage?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

When he asked, Su Miaoyi was startled.

She didn't see it.

I didn't dream about it either.

This seems to be her memory.

It seems that it's not someone else's memory, but her own.

A bizarre idea suddenly popped into Su Miaoyi's mind. She swallowed hard, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Zhuang Yanzheng then asked, "I only saw footage of their competition. How come you seem to know so much about Huang Haoxu?"

Su Miaoyi remained silent.

Not hearing her speak, Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Su Miaoyi."

Su Miaoyi sighed softly, suppressing all the doubts in her mind, and said, "Captain Zhuang, can we stop asking? I'm even more confused than you are."

“Okay.” Zhuang Yanzheng agreed readily.

He asked because Huang Haoxu had the wooden beads from Qin Leyan's bracelet.

It is possible that Huang Haoxu has met Qin Leyan.

And Su Miaoyi suddenly seems to know Huang Haoxu so well.

You could even say they are people who know Huang Haoxu.

"Let's choose a place where information spreads quickly and is quite chaotic," Su Miaoyi said.

"Ah."

Two o'clock in the morning.

Dreamy Nightclub.

Su Miaoyi felt as if the lights inside were so bright that her eyes were about to mutate.

The DJ's voice and the high-energy music made my eardrums buzz.

Su Miaoyi ordered a drink, took a sip, and then walked inside with the glass in her hand.

Her hair was loose, just enough to cover her ears, and she wore an earphone in her left ear.

Zhuang Yanzheng's voice came through the earphones again: "Safety must be the top priority."

“This is the twelfth time,” Su Miaoyi said.

He has already told him twelve times.

The music around us was so loud that people had to shout to talk to each other face-to-face.

She spoke softly and did not attract the attention of those around her.

After discussing it, Su Miaoyi decided to spread the word herself.

She felt that if she came in person, the chances of success would be very high.

Zhuang Yanzheng strongly disagreed, feeling it was too dangerous.

Su Miaoyi insisted on coming, believing she could win the fight.

The two went from arguing over the phone to arguing face-to-face.

Finally, the two main types of stubborn people were divided into the big stubborn type and the small stubborn type.

The stubborn Su wins.

"Sister, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?" Someone suddenly approached and struck up a conversation.

Su Miaoyi glanced at him, then looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "Just arrived in Jinghai, bored, looking for someone to hang out with."

Zhuang Yanzheng sighed deeply.

Su Miaoyi ignored it.

The man who struck up a conversation said, "Perfect timing, I'm all alone and quite bored. Shall I buy you a drink?"

"Look inside, the one in the white sleeveless vest, the one with pink hair, that's my informant," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi raised an eyebrow, looking at the boy in front of her. He was handsome, fair-skinned, and young. She smiled and said, "Of course, it's my treat!"

The boy laughed and reached out to put his arm around Su Miaoyi's shoulder.

Su Miaoyi blocked his arm.

The boy was stunned for a moment.

Su Miaoyi looked into the distance and saw the pink hair: "Excuse me, I suddenly saw something more interesting. Let's talk another day."

After she said that, she turned and left.

The remaining male student stood there, stunned.
