After leaving Director He's house, Xu Yao drove back to the Criminal Police Team without stopping. As soon as he stepped into the office, Liu Xiaobo walked towards him.

"Captain Xu, we have pulled up the surveillance footage of the deceased's last appearance. It was around 4 p.m. on January 11. The twins walked out of the school gate, got off the bus and headed towards home."

Liu Xiaobo said as he led Xu Yao to the computer and reached out to start adjusting the surveillance footage. "But unfortunately, the surveillance only goes to this intersection. The surveillance in the alley of Jiexi Road broke down a long time ago."

Xu Yao looked at the surveillance footage carefully and asked, "Then how long is it from the corner to the deceased's home?"

"Probably more than ten minutes."

"Did you find any important clues by visiting the shops along this road?" Xu Yao asked again.

"The twins were wearing red dresses. They made a phone call at the school gate and then walked back happily. They only bought two ice creams at the canteen and ate them along the way. We didn't see them talking to passers-by afterwards. We asked the owner of the canteen where they bought the ice creams, and he had no influence on the twins at all."

At this time, the phone of Captain Xu rang, and the news came that the mother of the deceased had returned home.

After hearing this, Captain Xu immediately picked up the coat on the chair and prepared to go out.

Hearing that Captain Xu was going to investigate the family of the deceased, Mo Xiaoqing rushed to Captain Xu in two steps and volunteered to go with Captain Xu.

Xu Yao refused outright, but Mo Xiaoqing insisted, "Captain Xu, as your assistant, you just take me with you."

Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaoqing's coquettish strategy worked. Xu Yao neither agreed nor refused, and walked straight ahead. Mo Xiaoqing followed behind him.

When getting in the car, Mo Xiaoqing did not dare to sit next to Xu Yao, and silently shrank in the back seat. So far, Mo Xiaoqing has not been able to adapt to the low pressure of Captain Xu.

Chen Guihua and Huang Zhixiang both live in the urban village in Dongjing Street. Looking at these low houses and narrow alleys, they are completely out of tune with the prosperous high-rise buildings in Jiang City.

The car drove into an old and dilapidated residential area. There was no guard at the gate, so Captain Xu just found a parking space and parked it.

Going up the narrow stairs to the fifth floor, Xu Yao walked deeper into the corridor.

The design of this old residential area is very unreasonable. Every household has a lot of miscellaneous items piled up on the narrow corridor, which squeezes the already crowded corridor even more. There are many rooms lined up in a straight corridor, a bit like the dormitory in the past. The lighting

here is not good, and the room looks eerie.

Xu Yao knocked on the door of 502, and listened carefully. Someone in the room was crying loudly.

Then footsteps were heard, and the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with dirty hair and a haggard face. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. It was Chen Guihua, the mother of the twins.

Mo Xiaoqing was wearing a police uniform, which made the mother nervous and flustered. She quickly tidied up the small living room. There were a lot of clothes to change on the sofa, some of which were obviously dresses for girls.

The room was at most 50 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room that looked unusually crowded. The walls of the living room were covered with school awards and photos of the twins.

"Officer, you...you guys sit...sit. I'm sorry that the room is so messy. I usually tidy up the room every time I come back from a business trip, but this time I really can't muster the energy."

Chen Guihua glanced at the photos on the wall, tears streaming down her face, and her twitching nose kept trying to suppress her pain.

But as a mother, the pain of having a daughter who she had raised with so much difficulty suddenly gone was beyond words.

She finally couldn't hold back and sat on the ground crying,

"My daughter, how could you suddenly die! Police comrades, are you here to tell me that you made a mistake in your inspection? That's not my daughter, right?"

The silence of the two policemen broke the last straw for this poor mother. She could only face the reality, that is, her daughter was no longer in this world.

Xu Yao had been a police officer for so many years that he had become indifferent to life and death. It was not that he was cold and heartless, but that he had been trained in his profession. Xu Yao was not good at comforting people.

Mo Xiaoqing squatted silently beside Chen Guihua, patting her back with her hands, and remained silent without saying a word.

After four or five minutes, the grieving mother finally calmed down and began to answer Xu Yao's questions truthfully.

Chen Guihua said that her two daughters were excellent in both character and study, and were also very filial. They were good girls in the eyes of neighbors and relatives, and the teachers at school also liked them very much.

Xu Yao asked, "When did you go on a business trip?"

"January 11th. I didn't expect that my daughter would get into trouble right after I left the house. Who on earth has such a deep hatred for my daughter to kill her so cruelly?"

"Do you still remember what your daughters were wearing that day?"

"I remember, they were both wearing a red tweed skirt with flesh-colored thick stockings underneath. Girls all love beauty. When I went out, the two children hugged me and said, 'Mom, take care of yourself outside, we'll wait for you to come back home.'"

Chen Guihua couldn't help sobbing as she spoke.

Xu Yao said again, "You said your daughter sent you a WeChat message. Can you show it to us?"

Chen Guihua took out her phone and opened the WeChat message and handed it to Xu Yao, "They sent a message saying that they were going to visit a female classmate who lives in the countryside during the holiday, and they said the signal was bad. They said they would not contact each other in the next few days. It's

really my fault. Usually they would tell me through voice messages, but this time they just typed it and I didn't doubt it. What I regret even more is that I have been busy with work these days."

"We police hope to take your phone back to the police station to investigate the source of the information. It can be returned within one day. I hope you can cooperate." Xu Yao handed the phone over, and Mo Xiaoqing quickly took out a plastic bag and put it in it.

Xu Yao continued to ask, "Can you recall whether you have offended anyone recently or whether your daughters have offended anyone?"

Chen Guihua did not answer, and once again fell into remorse, crying uncontrollably, making the interrogation very difficult.

Captain Xu also noticed this, and stood up to let his mother rest, and then record her statement when she went to the police station to identify the body.

At this moment, a curse suddenly sounded outside the door, "Retribution, this is all retribution! See, you have done so many bad things and now your own child has to bear the consequences. It's a sin."

After hearing this, Chen Guihua's eyes widened, and she stood up and roared loudly, "Comrade police, I remember who killed my daughter.

It was them, it was this vicious family who killed my daughter.

Catch them, go quickly!"

Mo Xiaoqing walked in front of Chen Guihua and asked her to relax, "Auntie, don't say that." "

I didn't say that. I remember that two days before my daughter was born, I had a big fight with a neighbor. At that time, the husband of this vicious woman took a kitchen knife and said he wanted to kill our whole family."
