Yu Wen got the answer, but it wasn't the answer he wanted. He took another step closer and asked emotionally, "You can write about this method of killing just because it comes from how butchers kill pigs?"
"Not bad." Seeing that Yu Wen was in a bad mood, Duan Gao asked with concern, "Child, what's wrong?"
“I…” Yu Wen lowered his head, his nails digging into his palms, and whispered, “My parents were murdered using this method…”
Back then, all the police focused on this method of murder, trying to profile the killer's characteristics through the modus operandi, but no one ever thought that this so-called bizarre method of murder was commonly used in slaughterhouses... What does this mean?
In the killer's eyes, his parents were no different from those livestock...
Yu Wen's anger intensified. Even though he couldn't remember much about his childhood, he still remembered some things: his parents would take him out to play, buy him delicious food and toys he wanted... They were his parents, not livestock under the butcher's control!
Feng Guang's eyes suddenly showed pity, and Duan Mu asked her softly, "What's wrong?"
"I just feel... he's a bit pitiful." Aside from his love of showing off, Yu Wen isn't a really bad person. At least, he's never killed anyone. He lost his parents when he was four years old, so thinking about it, he really is a bit pitiful.
Duan Mu lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "If Fengguang goes to pity others, what about me?"
She paused, then quickly grabbed his arm. "Pity and liking are different. The only person I like is you."
Duan Mu then laughed.
Compared to the minor misunderstanding over there, Yu Wen was in a much worse state. Duan Gao sighed and said, "I'm very sorry that your parents had such an unfortunate experience. I understand how you feel, but unfortunately, it seems there's nothing I can do to help you."
"I thought... once I found you, I would at least get some clues... I was too naive." Yu Wen gave a bitter smile. Sixteen years had passed. The police officers who handled the case back then had either retired or been promoted. The case was left unsolved because the murderer could not be caught. That's why he chose to enter the entertainment industry when the agency offered him a job. He became a big celebrity, which gave him more financial and human resources, and a chance to find the murderer and avenge his parents.
Before meeting Duan Gao, he truly believed he had found hope, but reality only disappointed him.
Duan Gao kindly asked him, "When did your parents' case happen?"
"Sixteen years ago," Yu Wen said with a wry smile, "Sixteen years have passed..."
"With so much time having passed, it's probably getting harder and harder to find the murderer. I think they must have investigated suspects who had a bad relationship or conflicts with your parents back then."
Yu Wen nodded. "Yes... However, they were all cleared of suspicion."
“I know a bit about murder cases. Even if the police want to solve a case, they can only look at the backlog of files helplessly until new clues emerge. Sometimes, reality is not as beautiful as we imagine, and not everyone can become an invincible detective. You have persisted for so long, so you can be proud of yourself.” He was subtly advising him not to be too fixated on this matter.
