“Alright, then I’ll send you to the Wan Corporation tomorrow morning. You can return to the police station after you’re done.”
Feng Jing also hoped that Yin Tao could return to the police station as soon as possible. He didn’t know if it was because he was too worried that Yin Tao would encounter danger outside.
“I want to go to the Children’s Home in a few days to see Shanshan again.”
When Yin Tao thought of Xu Shan’s adorable and obedient face, she felt very upset.
She was of the age where her parents were supposed to be doting on her, but she had suffered such an accident instead. Moreover, she was in a dangerous situation now.
“Okay, 1’11 go with you then.”
Feng Jing was still driving. He knew that Yin Tao couldn’t let go of Xu Shan and comforted her, “You can rest assured about Xu Shan’s safety. Ever since the last incident, not only have the teachers of the Children’s Home become much more vigilant, but the police have also mobilized a lot of resources to ensure the safety of the children.”
Yin Tao nodded, but she couldn’t cheer up at all. When she thought of the female victim she had seen at the crime scene the last time, Yin Tao wished she could catch that demon-like murderer with her own hands.
“Is there still no news of the murderer from last time?”
“There hasn’t been much progress. The killer obviously came prepared. Not a single fingerprint or trace was left. The autopsy results don’t show any distinguishing features of the killer.”
Feng Jing sighed helplessly and said slowly, “Moreover, it rained heavily the day after the incident. It has increased the difficulty of solving the case.”
“Sigh, I don’t have any leads on the recent cases. If this continues, the criminals will only become more and more brazen.”
Yin Tao knew that having no progress on a case was a terrible thing. If the criminal wasn’t identified, it would only make him even more smug, and new victims would continue to appear.
“It’s not that there’s no progress at all. Our informants on the black market are also collecting evidence. Although we can’t find the mastermind for the time being, many of their actions have been known by the police in advance.”
“Is that Officer Wu we saw the last time?”
Yin Tao still remembered the undercover police officers who had brought Feng Jing and Ji Yu into the black market’s underground casino a few times.
Yin Tao admired police officers like Officer Wu, who were willing to lie low for many years to solve a case. Not only did they put themselves in danger, but they also gave up their time with their families.
“It’s not just Officer Wu. The police have already expended a lot of police resources to find out who’s behind the black market.”
The people from the black market had always been the biggest disrupter of social order in City A. Feng Jing had also always had a headache about the leader of the black market. That person was an exceptionally vigilant, sly old fox. He had almost never dealt with anything personally, which was why he was so well hidden.
“I hope I can make a breakthrough as soon as possible. Many cases in City A are related to people from the black market.”
Yin Tao suddenly thought of Liang Yi, whom she had met at Cheng Fei’s place, and asked Feng Jing, “Brother Feng, is Liang Yi from the black market?”
“I think so, but that person called Liang Yi shouldn’t have anything to do with the recent cases. The police have already included him in the secret investigation, but he usually kept a low profile and didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.”
Feng Jing and Liang Yi had met a few times. Because of Liang Yi and Xi Feng’s cooperative relationship, Feng Jing even specially went to talk to Xi Feng.
However, their business was completely legal. Xi Feng’s description of Liang Yi was not bad. There didn’t seem to be anything special about this person.
“There are no obvious flaws. The progress of our case has also been in a deadlock.” Yin Tao sighed weakly and said to Feng Jing in a low voice, “Brother Feng, I sometimes have a terrifying thought.”
They were at a red light when Yin Tao said this. Feng Jing slowly turned to look at her.
“I even hope that a new case will appear so that the autopsy report can provide you with new clues to solve the case. This feeling of being in constant danger is too painful. It feels like I’m being led by the criminal.”
After Yin Tao finished speaking, she immediately shook her head and refuted her own words. “Perhaps my mind is really not clear enough. If a victim really appears, it means that another innocent person has been killed…”
Yin Tao had always been conflicted in her heart. In the beginning, she felt that she was still in a novel, so she had always treated catching the murderer as the ending of the novel..
