Before long, the police arrived. It was the same group of police officers from yesterday, and Wu Sen was still there. Upon seeing Feng Guang and Duan Mu, he asked in surprise, "You weren't the first ones to discover this time, were you?"
Feng Guang shook his head. "It wasn't us, it was the waiters over there."
Wu Sen glanced to the side and saw a colleague asking a waiter a question. He then turned back and said, "Miss Xia, how come you're so lucky? You've stumbled upon two such tragic murders."
Feng Guang snorted, "I didn't want to either, but who told me to be so unlucky?"
"Could it be that you're one of those people with the 'elementary school student constitution' who causes murders wherever you go?"
She had no idea what that elementary school student was. She just thought that this young policeman was quite witty. Before she could say anything, Duan Mu laughed and said, "Officer Wu, stop teasing Feng Guang. She's been scared for a long time because of what she saw yesterday."
“That’s true. After all, she’s just a young girl. It’s normal for her to be scared.” Wu Sen nodded, no longer teasing Feng Guang. However, seeing Duan Mu holding Feng Guang’s arm, his gossipy nature couldn’t help but stir. Everyone knew that Duan Mu had never had any scandals. Seeing him so intimate with a young girl, especially since she was the daughter of the Xia family, still seemed unbelievable to him. He had always thought that a mature man like Duan Mu, who had seen it all, would be attracted to equally mature women.
Seeing Wu Sen's scrutinizing gaze, Feng Guang glared at him and asked, "Has your police station made no progress on yesterday's case?"
“What progress can we expect? We can’t find anything from the video. The stepladder was something the hotel kept in their warehouse. There were no fingerprints left, and the footprints were wiped off. This shows how strong the murderer’s counter-surveillance skills are. He must be a veteran.” Wu Sen seemed at a loss when he mentioned this. He had only just reported to the police station and had already encountered such a big case. Of course, he wanted to solve the case quickly and make a contribution, but this case was indeed very tricky. Even the senior officers in the station couldn’t get any information.
Duan Mu then asked, "So, in Officer Wu's opinion, is today's case and yesterday's case committed by the same person?"
"Judging from the modus operandi and the victim's horrific condition alone, this explanation cannot be ruled out," Wu Sen said. "The autopsy report for the victim came out yesterday. She was first drugged and then hung up to bleed. If the autopsy report for this victim is the same, then it is even more likely that the same person committed the crime."
Feng Guang asked, "But why would the murderer commit crimes at the same hotel? He killed someone yesterday, and he killed someone here today. Isn't he afraid of being discovered?"
“The truth is, none of us could find him,” Wu Sen said. “The crime scene was protected yesterday, but we didn’t expect him to commit another crime here. If the murderer is the same person, committing two crimes in the same hotel means either he has a grudge against the hotel owner or he is challenging our police station.”
“Perhaps there are other reasons.” Duan Gao walked over from the other side. “Maybe he wanted to warn someone at the hotel.”
Wu Sen was taken aback. "Who is this?"
"Hello, I am Duan Gao." Duan Gao politely extended his hand. "I am also the author of 'The Third Dead,' but no such person can be found."
