Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 305: The Real Question Revealed Something

"Don't you have a good impression of her?" Su Miaoyi asked, looking at Tian Shi and Tian Xuan.

“It’s not that I have a bad impression of her, it’s that she’s a bad person,” Tian Xuan said.

"Could you elaborate?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Tian Xuan frowned but said nothing.

Tian Shi glanced into the inner room subconsciously: "He just has a foul mouth, he says all sorts of things, all sorts of nasty things."

Seeing that he glanced into the inner room, Su Miaoyi didn't continue asking the question: "Tell me about your father."

"There's nothing to say," Tian Xuan said.

"What kind of person is your father in your memory?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Drinking, gambling, and lazy," Tian Xuan summarized simply.

Su Miaoyi then looked at Tian Shi.

Tian Shi was silent for a while before saying, "From as far back as I can remember, my dad didn't really take care of us. He didn't do much farm work either. It was my sister and my grandparents who did the farm work and earned some money to support us. Later, when we got a little older, we helped my sister with the work. Then my grandparents passed away one after another, and my aunt would always bring us money and clothes. Later, she took us to work in Changshi and gave us jobs."

"Where is your mother?" Lu Zhishen asked.

“My father gambled all year round and owed money everywhere. People often came to our house to collect debts. When my mother saw my father like this, she also started to neglect us and often went out to play,” Tian Shi said.

“When Tian Ming was alive, she cursed him to die every day, but their relationship wasn’t that good. Now that he’s really dead, she’s tormented herself like this.” Tian Xuan snorted. “I really don’t understand their relationship.”

"Do you know Tian Dejia and his wife?" Su Miaoyi asked again.

Chu Xingrou and Lu Zhishen's expressions remained unchanged, and they did not exchange any words.

Su Miaoyi and the others questioned the deceased, and the two of them understood what had happened.

“Uncle Tian De is a very good person. He would sometimes lend a hand to us siblings when we were working,” Tian Shi said. “His aunt is a very fierce person. She often scolds Uncle Tian De. She is also very sharp-tongued and says all sorts of things. I don’t know how many people she has offended. I don’t like her. I think she is very annoying.”

“A person like her deserves to die,” Tian Xuan said.

Tian Shi kicked the stool he was sitting on.

Tian Xuan was very unconvinced. He turned to look at Tian Shi, and after their eyes met, his unconvinced attitude vanished instantly, and he became obedient.

Su Miaoyi truly experienced what bloodline suppression meant.

“That auntie was not well-liked. If it weren’t for Uncle Tian De’s kindness, almost no one would talk to her,” Tian Shi said.

"What about Wu An?" Su Miaoyi asked again, "Do you know him?"

"Who is this?" Tian Xuan asked.

“Everyone in the village calls him Wu the Cripple,” Chu Xingrou said.

"Didn't he get lost? Have you found him?" Tian Xuan asked.

Su Miaoyi looked at him; he was a straightforward person: "Found them. They were murdered."

"Why would anyone kill him?" Tian Xuan was both shocked and puzzled. "He was living a pitiful life all by himself, why would anyone kill him?"

“I don’t know him very well. He’s not very talkative, and he doesn’t respond when you greet him,” Tian Shi said. “We live far away and don’t see him often. I only hear from others that he’s quite honest.”

“Why kill such an honest man?” Tian Xuan said again.

"How's business at the butcher shop?" Su Miaoyi asked again.

“Sometimes it’s pretty good,” Tian Xuan said.

"Is it just the two of you? Can you manage?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“My sister helps us when we’re too busy,” Tian Xuan said.

“It’s good that you live close by; you can look out for each other,” Su Miaoyi said.

“That’s right,” Tian Shi said.

After asking them the questions, Su Miaoyi and the others left.

The three siblings saw them off.

Su Miaoyi comforted Tian Min.

Tian Min kept nodding.

The four people left. Su Miaoyi and Zhao Yongliang said, "Keep a close watch on his house."

"Huh?" Zhao Yongliang didn't react immediately. "His house?"

“Yes,” Su Miaoyi said. “Don’t let them leave the village recently.”

"Okay," Zhao Yongliang replied.

Upon returning to the village committee, Su Miaoyi did not go into the office but stood in the courtyard for a while.

Chu Xingrou and Lu Zhishen knew she was thinking about something and didn't disturb her.

After a while, she said, "Xingrou."

Just after she shouted, her phone rang.

It was Zhuang Yanzheng who called.

She answered the phone.

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "I actually learned something from Mia and the others."

Su Miaoyi was surprised: "What is it?"

"He might be the murderer. We don't know his real name; they all call him Twenty-One, it's a number. We need a portrait of Lu Zhishen," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi looked at Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen asked, "Did you need something from me?"

“A portrait,” Su Miaoyi said.

Just as she finished speaking, Lu Zhishen's phone rang; it was Brother Zheng calling.

After he answered the call, Brother Zheng said a few words to him, then turned on the speakerphone and had Mia's men describe his appearance.

Lu Zhishen returned to his office and drew a portrait.

Zhuang Yanzheng continued talking to Su Miaoyi: "I showed Mia and the others the photos of the deceased, but they all said they hadn't seen many of them. I wrote the names on the photos of the deceased. One of Mia's subordinates, the one who couldn't speak Chinese and didn't know Chinese characters, said that the name 'Gao Hui' looked familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere before."

“I made him think for a while, and he said he had seen those two words in someone else’s chat history. He said that person was one of their people.”

"An assassin?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Ah."

"Do you know where they're from?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“I don’t know. It’s a man, and his height and weight match what you saw in the video. I don’t know his exact age, but he looks to be around 27 or 28. I don’t know his name either,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “They call each other by numbers and don’t really know each other’s identities. The man called 21 had his chat history seen by accident.”

"As you know, people in their line of work have excellent memories. They can remember shapes even if they don't know how to read."

“Mia has been captured, and all their hideouts are now empty. We don’t know where they are, do we?” Su Miaoyi asked.

"Yes. Now they're disorganized, and their whereabouts are even more uncertain," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"They might be here," Su Miaoyi said. "A new case came out last night."

Zhuang Yanzheng paused for a moment, then clicked his tongue: "Going against the grain, huh?"

“They might have run away. Yesterday, the villagers caused a disturbance, and we were blocked from entering the village. They might have taken advantage of the chaos to leave,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Are you three alright?" Zhuang Yanzheng's voice instantly turned serious.

"We're fine."

“Everyone be careful, don’t come back with a bump on your head. People will think the Municipal Bureau is too idle and has grown a dowager’s hump on its head, which will damage the image of the Municipal Bureau,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi was speechless: "."

"Alright, that's all. Be careful, everyone. Take my advice to heart. Be extra cautious when you're walking around the village, and watch out for ambushes," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Give the phone to Chu Xingrou; I'll give her a few more words of advice too."

Su Miaoyi handed the phone to Chu Xingrou.
