A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

Chapter 55 Lin Xiaohao Disappears!

The video has finished playing.

Three solemn faces were reflected on the black screen.

The technical department office was deathly silent.

The air seemed to become heavy, making it hard to breathe.

Fan Liang leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the black screen. His hand, resting on the table, was trembling violently with an uncontrollable frequency.

This video seemed to drain all his strength and soul.

The head of the technical department was deathly pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He instinctively reached for the water glass, but halfway there, he realized his hand was trembling violently and quickly put it down.

Only Qi Feng remained relatively calm, but no one knew whether a turbulent undercurrent was brewing beneath that composed exterior.

"Clang!"

With a loud bang, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The sudden sound shattered the deathly silence inside the room.

The three of them shuddered, turned their heads in unison, and shot murderous glares toward the doorway.

The young detective at the door was startled by the three menacing gazes, his heart clenching. The words he was about to utter caught in his throat, and he stammered, "Captain... Captain!"

"What's wrong! Speak!" Fan Liang said, barely suppressing his anger.

"Lin Hui's son, Lin Xiaohao... has gone missing!" The young detective, finally snapped out of his daze by the shout, and blurted out the news in one breath.

"What?!"

Fan Liang's brain went blank for a moment, and he was thrown up from the chair. Because the movement was too violent, the chair tipped over and crashed heavily to the ground.

But he couldn't care less about that anymore and turned to rush out the door.

Qi Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately got up and followed.

The two ran wildly down the corridor, one after the other.

"Is Lin Xiaohao the child who received the heart transplant?" Qi Feng asked in a deep voice as he ran, his voice echoing in the empty corridor.

"Yes." Fan Liang's voice was filled with uncontrollable pain and self-blame.

How could this be! How is this possible!

Three teams!

Working 24/7 in three shifts!

How could someone die?!

Qi Feng saw that Fan Liang was about to break down, so he said nothing more and just silently followed behind him. The two rushed down the building, got into a police car, and sped off towards the scene of the incident with the sirens blaring.

Half an hour later, the police car braked suddenly and stopped in front of an elementary school.

Police tape has been put up at the school gate.

Fan Liang pushed open the car door and immediately strode inside.

At the same time, several criminal police officers who had been waiting there quickly came forward.

"Captain!" a detective who jogged over called out first.

"What happened! How did the child get lost?" Along the way, Fan Liang had forcibly suppressed his surging emotions.

He knew very well that anger and self-blame would not solve anything; he had to stay calm, because only by staying calm could he save the child.

"Xiao Hao's health is not good, and all the teachers and students in the school know this, so everyone usually takes good care of him." The criminal police officer in charge of the team, Xiao Yu, reported to his superior in a very fast voice, "In order to make sure he eats better, the cafeteria aunt often cooks special meals for him, but they are afraid that other parents will complain, so Xiao Hao usually eats alone at a small table in the back kitchen."

"It was the same today. At first, no one paid any attention, until the first period in the afternoon when the homeroom teacher took attendance and realized that Xiaohao was missing. He immediately notified us."

"What about surveillance cameras?" Fan Liang went straight to the point. "There must be surveillance cameras in a place like the kitchen."

"We checked!" Xiaoyu's face turned somewhat grim. "The surveillance footage shows that it was an auntie who washes dishes in the kitchen who took Xiaohao away."

"The kitchen auntie? What's her job?" Fan Liang pressed.

"The registered ID card name is Ren Wenkang, which sounds like a man's name. We've already sent someone to the registered home address," Xiaoyu replied.

Ren Wenkang?

The moment those three words entered Qi Feng's ears, it was as if his brain had been struck by lightning!

Ren Yongshou... Ren Wenkang!

"Could this be the name that Ren Yongshou and Liu Juan gave to their deceased son?!" Qi Feng suddenly exclaimed.

A woman's ID card uses a name that is clearly male. Although there are precedents, at this critical juncture, such a coincidence is almost inevitable!

Fan Liang, Xiao Yu, and the others looked at Qi Feng abruptly, clearly believing his guess.

"No way..." a young detective next to him retorted instinctively, "That auntie has been working at the school for almost two years, how could she possibly be Liu Juan in disguise!"

"Yes, it can't be the murderer." At this moment, Lin Xiaohao's homeroom teacher was also called to the scene. She echoed with a pale face, "That Aunt Ren is so good to Xiaohao. She is very gentle and has always taken good care of him, just like... just like her own son."

The teacher had just finished speaking.

Qi Feng continued.

"Is she good to Xiaohao?"

"No!"

"She was doing what was best for the heart inside Xiao Hao's body! She was doing what was best for herself... for her dead son!"
