It's getting late now, so the search has to end here.
Xu Yao stood on a high rock on the island with a frown, looking at the mainland in the distance. There was indeed no ship on the sea, and the slightly salty sea breeze blew towards him with the fresh smell of sea water.
"I don't know when the route will operate normally? I can feel that the situation is getting more and more serious.
I vaguely feel that the murderer can succeed again and again. Is this really the work of Chen Xinhua, who used to be a mental patient, or has she turned into a ghost and is causing trouble?" Xu Yao sighed.
Lao Tan asked doubtfully, "Captain Xu, don't you not believe in ghosts?"
Xu Yao frowned and shook his head, "Yes, I don't believe it, but now things are slowly developing in a weird direction. I'm afraid this is just the beginning, and the real massacre will continue. Do
n't you feel it? Why is our progress so slow now? It is obvious that the murderer has left us very few clues.
This is enough to prove that the murderer is a high-IQ complex personality. Now three people have died, and we haven't even found out the real motive for the crime. This is very scary."
Lao Tan asked again, "Captain Xu, what are we doing here? The first time was to find Liu Xinjiao, but there was no trace of her. Could it be that we were going in the wrong direction from the beginning?
Maybe Chen Xinjiao didn't show up at all from the beginning, but someone deliberately made a cover to confuse us. "
Liu Xiaobo insisted, "Maybe Chen Xinjiao is indeed hiding on this island, but we didn't find her.
Is she hiding somewhere under the cliff? Is there a cave on the cliff?"
Lao Tan interjected, "It's not impossible. I think it's necessary to take a look, although it sounds ridiculous. Captain Xu, leave this to me!"
Xu Yao agreed without hesitation.
It was already late, and Xu Yao ordered everyone to go back and continue tomorrow.
After dinner, Xu Yao once again gathered all the police officers together and assigned tasks. While assigning tasks, Mo Xiaoqing felt that Xu Yao was intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from her. During the investigation of the case, Xu Yao no longer always asked for her opinion as he did before.
Even when assigning tasks, the intern Yu Manman got the task from Xu Yao. On the other hand, Xu Yao did not assign any tasks to Mo Xiaoqing this time.
After Xu Yao arranged all the tasks, he turned around and left quickly. The other police officers also gradually devoted themselves to the corresponding work, leaving only Mo Xiaoqing standing blankly in a corner of the living room.
At this time, Yu Manman came over and asked caringly, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?
I'm going out to look for clues later, what about you? Or come with me."
Mo Xiaoqing pouted and said, "You go. Captain Xu hasn't assigned me any tasks, he doesn't like me to act on my own."
Yu Manman's eyes suddenly lit up, "Huh? I seem to have heard Xiaobo say that Captain Xu also assigned a task to you before, asking you to investigate the Tian Ju line, right?"
Speaking of Tian Ju, Mo Xiaoqing regained a little vitality. At least she felt that she could still play a certain role in the entire team.
She was happy and rekindled her fighting spirit, "Oh, yes, thank you Yu Manman, I just remembered it. Then I will go find her now."
Indeed, after the strange voice came out of the phonograph, Tian Ju's behavior was very abnormal. Mo Xiaoqing could conclude that Tian Ju must know a lot of unknown inside stories.
Passing through the living room of the villa, Mo Xiaoqing found a servant who was cleaning in the kitchen and asked her to lead the way to find Tian Ju.
As the eldest daughter-in-law, Tian Ju's residence must be more special and luxurious than others.
She chose a large house with a yard on the right side of the villa. It is very quiet and elegant. It's just that there are more trees in front of it, and the light is a little dim.
After reaching the first floor, Mo Xiaoqing just asked the servant to tell her the specific location, and let him go first.
Mo Xiaoqing followed the direction pointed by the servant and found the door of the room where Tian Ju lived. It was indeed very grand.
Due to the heavy rain, the first floor seemed damp and dark. Mo Xiaoqing saw that the door of the room was closed. After approaching and just wanting to knock on the door, she heard a painful groan from inside.
It should be Tian Ju's voice.
Mo Xiaoqing naturally knew very little about Tian Ju. She only knew that she fainted that night. After a little inquiry, she found out that although Tian Ju was beautiful and generous, her health had always been not good, so she was so thin.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there? I want water...drink water." Tian Ju's voice came out again.
Mo Xiaoqing knocked on the door quickly and shouted, "Mrs. Chen, what's wrong with you? I'm Officer Mo, please open the door."
But there was suddenly no movement inside. Mo Xiaoqing nervously slapped the door with her palm.
Finally, after half a minute, she heard a faint voice again, "The door is not locked."
Mo Xiaoqing then pulled the door handle and twisted it, and the door opened.
She looked up again, and sure enough, in the large and luxurious room, there was a thin figure half leaning on the bed rails, with cracked lips, shouting: "Shuishui..."
Mo Xiaoqing frantically looked for cups and kettles everywhere. The room was too big, and the furniture was complete, and they were expensive European imported goods, neatly arranged.
Soon, Mo Xiaoqing found a kettle and a glass on a table in the corner of the house. Without saying a word, Mo Xiaoqing poured the water in the kettle into the glass and quickly walked to the bed.
She supported Tian Ju's back with one hand and handed the glass to Tian Ju's mouth with the other.
Tian Ju took the glass with great effort. She drank the whole glass of water in one gulp.
Mo Xiaoqing asked with concern: "Mrs. Chen, do you feel better now?"
Tian Ju's face was still pale and lifeless. He just forced a smile, nodded slightly, and said in a weak voice, "Better, thank you!"
Although Mo Xiaoqing knew that it was a bit rude to disturb a sick person at this time, two murders had already occurred and she could not push it any further.
So Mo Xiaoqing hardened her heart and got to the point, "Mrs. Tian, if you're not feeling too uncomfortable now, I want to ask you some questions, but if you don't want to go on, I will stop immediately and let you rest."
"Then ask ahead." Tian Ju was still weak.
"Do you remember the dance party three nights ago? The phonograph was playing pleasant dance music, but suddenly a strange sound came out.
I remember that after you heard the sound, you fainted, and your face showed a look of fear and surprise.
Did you hear something from the sound in the phonograph? Do you think this voice is very familiar? Do you know the owner of this voice?"
Mo Xiaoqing asked questions one after another. After Tian Ju heard them, the expression on his face turned into that terrified look again.
