"Hey, how can you talk like that?" Yao Feng put down his chopsticks and said, "I watched Duan Mu grow up. Don't I know what kind of person he is?"
He was telling the truth. Compared to those male celebrities who cheat on their partners and have affairs with fans all the time, Duan Mu was practically an otherworldly god.
Wu Sen said, "Don't blame me for being blunt, but that's the truth. Miss Xia, I'm sorry I can't enjoy this meal you've invited me to. I have official business to attend to, so I'll head back to the police station first."
After saying that, Wu Sen stood up, turned around, and left.
Feng Guang also stood up, "Officer Wu..."
However, although Wu Sen was an ordinary citizen who was afraid of the powerful, his principles as a policeman remained, and he did not turn back.
Yao Feng said, "I'll go stop him."
"No need." Feng Guang helplessly raised her hand to her forehead and sighed deeply. "Let's think of another way."
As soon as Wu Sen stepped out, a group of children ran happily past, their parents chasing after them, telling them to slow down. This added a touch of vitality to the sweltering summer. On the other side, a water truck passed by, playing a cheerful tune called "Jingle Bells." Some of the children passing by sang along, making the sweltering afternoon seem much cooler.
Wu Sen paused, then turned back and walked into the restaurant.
When Feng Guang saw Wu Sen return, she asked in surprise, "Officer Wu, why are you back again?"
“I think you have a point,” Wu Sen said seriously. “Duan Mu is definitely not the murderer. The murderer must be someone else. And now I have a goal: to find the real murderer.”
Yao Feng blinked. "You just said that the evidence proved Duan Mu was the murderer, so he is the murderer. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Wu Sen glanced at Yao Feng and said, "I just thought there were still many doubts in the case. However, Duan Mu will be convicted in a few days, so we need to find the murderer in these few days."
Upon hearing this, Feng Guang immediately asked, "Officer, you have a plan, don't you?"
“That’s right.” Wu Sen nodded. “Since the victims all came from the same nightclub, if Duan Mu isn’t the real killer, then the killer will definitely appear at the nightclub again when we’re off guard. I’ll take a few days of sick leave and keep watch around there.”
Feng Guang said, "Perhaps we can analyze what other commonalities the victims have... that way we can better uncover the murderer."
“You’re right,” Wu Sen nodded. “I’ll send you the victim’s information tonight.”
After a moment of smugness, she and Yao Feng looked at each other, suddenly feeling that Wu Sen was being a bit too generous, but his generosity was a good thing for them.
That evening, Feng Guang received a stack of documents. She flipped through them and saw that the common thread among these women was that they went to brothels for money. After thinking for a while, she contacted her bodyguard captain and sent him the names of the three deceased women. She wanted all the information about these victims from birth to the present.
The next morning, she went to Wu Sen's stakeout spot. Generally speaking, nightclubs are only lively at night, but in order not to miss anyone, Wu Sen was there early in the morning. Based on the murderer's frequency of killing one person a day, he had a feeling that the murderer would definitely appear today.
Because they couldn't get too close, otherwise it would arouse suspicion, their car was parked across the street. Wu Sen was holding a pair of binoculars and staring at the scene. Feng Guang scanned the surroundings and pointed to the building next to the nightclub, saying, "Why don't we go and keep watch from inside that building? It's closer there, and the view is better."
"I'd like to too, Miss, but that's a commercial building, I can't afford to rent it."
"Really?" Feng Guang sent a message, then looked up and said, "Let's go to that building, you don't need to pay to rent it."
"You rented it?"
Feng Guang opened the car door and turned around, saying, "I've bought it. You can use this building in Nightclub Week as you please."
With a "thud," the binoculars in Wu Sen's hand slipped and fell to the ground.
