"What should we do next?" Liang Zichen asked Wang Shen from inside the moving car.

Wang Shen gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, and replied, "Our primary task now is to find Xiao Lin's whereabouts, as well as the whereabouts of Dean Fu Ju and the child."

After listening to Wang Shen's words, Liang Zichen remained silent for a while, then looked up at Wang Shen again and said, "Is it possible that Xiao Lin has realized that his affairs have been exposed by choosing to disappear at this time?"

"That's possible, but not necessarily. He probably wouldn't guess that we already have so much information. There are still many self-righteous people in this world." Wang Shen shook his head slightly, seemingly rejecting Liang Zichen's idea.

"Then what was Xiao Lin's purpose in disappearing?" Liang Zichen frowned slightly, crossing his arms as he looked at the road ahead.

"Just to be on the safe side, this should be a way for Xiao Lin to protect himself. If we do find evidence of his crimes, he still has time to slip away. But I don't think that's his main purpose." As he said this, a worried look unconsciously appeared on Wang Shen's face.

"His main purpose?" Upon hearing this, Liang Zichen's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and doubt. "Could it be?" Liang Zichen shifted his body, straightening his back, and looked at Wang Shen with astonishment.

"Could Xiao Lin be secretly searching for Dean Fu Ju and the child?" After saying this, Liang Zichen looked at Wang Shen in surprise, waiting for his answer.

“That’s what I think,” Wang Shen nodded. “For a criminal who has committed three murders, killing a few people doesn’t really matter. For the purpose of self-preservation, Xiao Lin would think that only by making Dean Fu Ju and the child disappear from this world can he achieve ultimate safety.”

"So now Dean Fu Ju and the child are in danger. We must find their whereabouts as soon as possible." Liang Zichen clapped his hands, understanding the direction to take next.

The worry on Wang Shen's face didn't lessen at all after he figured out this information. Wang Shen still frowned, glanced at Liang Zichen, and said, "But there's one thing you shouldn't forget..."

Wang Shen looked away, pausing in his speech. After a moment, he continued, "Through the surveillance footage, we know that Dean Fu Ju had fled the scene, but she later returned."

"Yes, that's a fact we've already confirmed, there's no problem with it." Liang Zichen nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

“However, the question that puzzled us at the beginning has not been resolved.” Wang Shen shook his head and bit his lip hard.

Liang Zichen's memory didn't seem to be as exceptional as Wang Shen's. After thinking for a moment, Liang Zichen asked, "What's the problem?"

"With such a long interval, Dean Fu Ju could have easily called the police. Even after she returned to the crime scene, she could have called the police. But she didn't. Why?" Wang Shen repeated the question from before.

Liang Zichen finally remembered this unresolved question. He leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Captain Wang, there's something wrong here. Do you think it could be like this?" At this point, Liang Zichen suddenly sat up straight, looking at Wang Shen in surprise.

Wang Shen did not answer, but listened quietly to Liang Zichen's statement.

"When Dean Fu Ju first fled the scene, her first thought was undoubtedly the safety of the children. So, after settling the children in, she remembered that Tang Feng was still fighting with the murderer. Because she was worried about Tang Feng's safety, Dean Fu Ju returned to the crime scene. But by then, she discovered that the murder was already complete. Up to this point, Dean Fu Ju didn't actually have time to call the police. But why didn't she call the police later? It's very likely that Dean Fu Ju had already lost the opportunity to call the police." At this point, Liang Zichen was silent for a while, then sighed heavily.

After sighing, Liang Zichen finally spoke, revealing his final guess: "So, is it possible that Dean Fu Ju has already been poisoned by Xiao Lin, which is why she didn't call the police? That's why we haven't been able to find out where Dean Fu Ju is?"

While driving, Wang Shen listened carefully to Liang Zichen's analysis, and finally shook his head and said, "Probably not."

“We all know that Xiao Lin has already killed Tang Feng. If Xiao Lin then killed Dean Fu Ju, where did Dean Fu Ju’s body go? It’s impossible for Xiao Lin to hide Dean Fu Ju’s body so well, but to just dump Tang Feng’s body in the fishpond. For Xiao Lin, either Dean Fu Ju or Tang Feng would be a fatal blow to him.”

Liang Zichen nodded in agreement after hearing Wang Shen's analysis.

"Furthermore," Wang Shen continued, "if Xiao Lin doesn't dispose of Dean Fu Ju's body on the spot, he'll have to move it elsewhere. Through surveillance footage, we also know that Xiao Lin didn't use any transportation to get to Dean Fu Ju's house. So the only vehicle capable of long-distance transport is Tang Feng's car. And we've already found Tang Feng's car; we haven't found any other clues around it."

Liang Zichen nodded and said, "Judging from this, it is indeed unlikely that Dean Fu Ju would fall victim to Xiao Lin's poison."

“Of course, we can still use the surveillance footage to check Xiao Lin’s whereabouts afterward. Transporting a body is too conspicuous. If he did that, we would spot him immediately.” As he spoke, Wang Shen’s car had already driven back to the police station.

"So, why didn't Dean Fu Ju call the police?" Liang Zichen slapped his head several times, but couldn't come up with a reasonable answer.

Wang Shen brought the car to a stop, then looked at Liang Zichen and asked, "Although Dean Fu Ju wasn't murdered, she must have guessed that Han Lin might have gotten into trouble. The child's mother, Zhao Zimo, is probably no longer alive. For Dean Fu Ju, besides her child, there was no one else in the world who was most important to her. And the main culprit was Xiao Lin. Now, considering Dean Fu Ju's motive for not calling the police, what do you think it might be?"

Liang Zichen carefully considered Wang Shen's words, and slowly, a bold idea began to emerge in his mind. "Could she be planning to take revenge herself?"

After hearing this, Wang Shen finally looked away from Liang Zichen. Wang Shen didn't respond. A brief silence fell between the two.

“But,” Liang Zichen broke the silence first, saying, “what about the children? What will happen to them? Even if Dean Fu Ju succeeds in her revenge, she won’t escape the punishment of the law.”

Wang Shen had also considered the question raised by Liang Zichen. The child was likely Dean Fu Ju's last lifeline to avoid taking the wrong path. Just then, Wang Shen's phone suddenly rang.
