Even so, Su He was still very angry when she heard this. This scheme was too vicious. If Li Zhaodi were still alive, she probably wouldn't be able to defend herself.

However, there was no crime for spreading rumors in those days, so the Zhou family did not actually face any punishment for doing so.

This is even more infuriating!

Fortunately, Captain Sun and his team were also very angry when they found out. Before returning, they had already spread the word about what the Zhou family had done, so that they could also experience the backlash of rumors.

This made Su He feel a little better.

Chen Feng nodded in agreement and said, "However, we can't believe everything they say. Many murderers are good at disguising themselves, so we need to observe more closely."

Team Leader Sun nodded. "Understood. We've already sent people to follow them."

However, the case seems to have hit another bottleneck here.

Chen Feng and the others remained calm, as this had happened several times before.

So Chen Feng said, "Now it seems that the three cases have many similarities."

First, the manner of their deaths. Second, all of them were women. Third, the murderer could not be found.

Next, we need to consider the common characteristics and clues in the three cases and try to find other breakthroughs.

Su He and the others nodded earnestly.

At this moment, Captain Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think the murderer killed out of hatred?"

Chen Feng shook his head. "If it was a revenge killing, then the victims should have known each other, or they should have known someone in common."

However, we have already investigated the first two cases, and there is no connection between them, so this claim is invalid.

"So it was a random killing, but why kill them? Why did the killer choose these specific people instead of others?"

"We actually had some guesses about this."

Chen Feng continued, "Through careful analysis of the first two victims, we discovered that their reputations were not very good, which is likely related to this."

"Bad reputation?" Su He was surprised. "Isn't Xu Jingya a promising vocational school graduate? Why would she have a bad reputation? It's more likely that the second widow would have a bad reputation, right?"

At this moment, Song Minghui explained to her while flipping through the documents: "Xu Jingya's bad reputation is mainly due to her beautiful appearance, which makes her seem undignified. So, since she entered vocational school, many male students have had feelings for her. Many people admire her, but she has not responded to any of them."

People thought she was stringing him along, so some bad rumors started circulating.

But those men were still devoted to her, and then some people said she was a fox spirit reincarnated.

However, on the eve of graduation, when someone confessed their feelings to her in person at school, she rejected them, saying that she already had a fiancé and that the two had been engaged for a long time.

The man felt humiliated after being rejected, and he was even angrier when he learned that she already had a fiancé but hadn't told them.

So they also said bad things about her outside, which made her reputation even worse.

We initially suspected a crime of passion, but after investigation, that wasn't the case, and all the suspects were eventually ruled out.

Su He frowned upon hearing this. Based on her understanding of the Xu family couple, she felt that they were not the type to raise a daughter with such a personality.

Are you sure that's really the case?

Song Minghui nodded. "We've interviewed everyone who knows her, especially her classmates. She was quite famous at school back then, and many male classmates wrote her love letters, which she accepted, but never responded to. As a result, everyone felt there was still hope."

Su He frowned even more deeply upon hearing this. Could it be that she had misread it?
