“I’m not pointing fingers at anyone, but I just think that the fact that the case hasn’t identified the killer at this stage means that he knows us too well, to the point that he can completely control our thoughts.”
His reasoning made Tao Yiqiu fall into deep thought, and surprised everyone else as well.
Fu Hange, fearing they might misunderstand, quickly explained, "No, that's not what he meant."
The expert slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "I think that's exactly what he meant. Instead of studying his organs properly, he comes to our meeting and starts attacking people!"
Tang Yehuai wasn't upset; on the contrary, he thought it was normal and said with a smile, "That's exactly what I meant."
Fu Hange was truly worried for Tang Yehuai. It was enough that he already had people he suspected, but to actually say it aloud was really...
The expert suggested, "Since you have an idea, fine, this case is entirely in your hands. If you can't catch the person, you're fired!"
Tang Yehua raised an eyebrow casually: "Okay."
Fu Hange glanced at him, wondering why he always took on everything himself. Did he really think he was so capable?
But she was wrong. As soon as they went out, Tang Yehuai took her out to eat. While eating, she asked, "What makes you so confident that you can solve that case? What if it's not Tao Yiqiu?"
She was genuinely anxious, as it concerned whether she could finish the mission quickly and whether she could save her child.
He said, "Even if I'm not 100% sure, I'm at least 90% certain."
Is he really that confident? At the time, Fu Hange thought he was really narcissistic. But on the other hand, he was indeed many times smarter than her.
After the meal, Tang Yehuai took her on a long journey back to his hometown.
At first, Fu Hange was puzzled and asked Tang Yehuai, "Where are we going?"
"Tao Yiqiu's hometown."
"But that place is deserted, what clues could there be?"
He smirked: "The older the place, the more secrets it holds. You'll find out when you get there."
Fu Hange had no choice but to sit obediently.
——
The houses, built many years ago, are now in terrible condition. No wonder Tao Yiqiu is poor; living in such a dilapidated village for too long can even make people want to kill.
Tang Yehuai led Fu Hange inside, asking around along the way until they finally found Tao Yiqiu's former home.
It was very small, with only two bedrooms and a living room, and had been uninhabited for years, accumulating a lot of dust. The old-fashioned television set looked like it was carrying something on its back; Tang Yehua gently wiped it with a cloth.
He pressed the power button, but there was no response; it must be broken from years of use.
Fu Hange couldn't stand the smell. She felt like her nose was full of spider webs, but she had to cover her mouth and nose with her hands to endure it for the sake of her work.
Tang Yehua felt sorry for her: "If you feel uncomfortable, go outside and wait for me."
"It's okay, I can manage."
Tang Yehuai ignored her and began rummaging through the small room all by himself.
Actually, besides the old furnishings, there were photos on the walls of the house, which were of Tao Yiqiu and her family. The photos were taken in a very ordinary way, and it was impossible to tell whether their relationship was good or bad. This clue seemed to be of little use.
The old woman who had been giving them directions at the village entrance came in at some point. Seeing Fu Hange and Tang Yehuai, she asked, "Are you looking for Xiao Tao?"
Fu Hange nodded, then asked, "Did she ask you anything?"
