“It is indeed dangerous, but it won’t happen so soon. Lin Su will only proceed with the next step of the plan after gaining Xu Xiaolin’s complete trust.” After saying that, Wang Shen’s car had already driven back to the police station.
“However,” Wang Shen said, his tone shifting dramatically after parking the car, “while our guesses are reasonable, we don’t yet have much concrete evidence. Therefore, we need to find some relevant evidence to corroborate our conjectures.”
“So now we…” Liang Zichen wanted to ask Wang Shen about his next plans, but before he could finish speaking, Wang Shen’s phone rang.
Liang Zichen stopped asking questions, and Wang Shen picked up his phone and saw that it was Xu Xiaolin calling. Wang Shen looked at Xu Xiaolin's name on the screen, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the phone.
"Hello? What's up? Okay, it's good that you've figured it out. Why so late? Couldn't you have come earlier? Okay, then send me the address on my phone later. That'll work, I'll pick you up on time." Wang Shen's call with Xu Xiaolin only lasted a few minutes, but after hanging up, Wang Shen's expression seemed a little lighter. However, a deeper worry then crept onto his face.
"Is that Xu Xiaolin calling?" Liang Zichen had already seen the caller ID on his phone.
Wang Shen nodded. "Xu Xiaolin plans to give me Han Mo's diary," Wang Shen said calmly.
Upon hearing Wang Shen's words, Liang Zichen's expression showed slight surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. Liang Zichen asked, "Han Mo's diary? It really was in Xu Xiaolin's hands? Why didn't she take it out back then?"
"Xu Xiaolin's reason was very simple. She wanted to find the real culprit in Han Mo's case herself and then resolve the matter herself." Wang Shen pursed his lips and told Liang Zichen Xu Xiaolin's exact words.
Liang Zichen shook his head, expressing his opposition to Xu Xiaolin's actions, saying, "That's really foolish. If she does that, won't she get implicated herself?"
Compared to Liang Zichen, Wang Shen's expression didn't change as frequently. Instead, he answered with a serious face, "Of course she knew what the consequences of doing that would be. Perhaps she didn't feel there were many more people in this world worth cherishing, which is why she chose this method."
Hearing Wang Shen's words, Liang Zichen frowned slightly and then asked, "Then why does she want to hand over the diary to us now?"
"She said she's figured it out and thinks it's better to hand Han Mo's case over to our police." As Wang Shen said this, you could clearly see his eyebrows unconsciously rubbing together again.
"She's figured it out?" Liang Zichen's confusion deepened. "Why did Xu Xiaolin suddenly see the light at this moment? And then abandon her original revenge plan? Captain Wang, you just said that Xu Xiaolin originally planned to solve this case herself. That's because there was no one in this world that Xu Xiaolin was worth cherishing. But now it seems that the person Xu Xiaolin is now cherishing has appeared?"
Liang Zichen revealed what had worried Wang Shen. Wang Shen sighed and replied, "Yes, and judging from the current clues, this person is probably Lin Su. It seems we underestimated Lin Su. He's quite something to have won Xu Xiaolin's heart so quickly."
"Lin Su is indeed very handsome. If he's also sweet-talking, winning Xu Xiaolin's heart shouldn't be too difficult. But if that happens, Lin Su's initial work is done. Doesn't that mean Xu Xiaolin's critical period is approaching?" Liang Zichen connected Lin Su's motives and finally realized this serious problem.
Wang Shen frowned and replied, "So we need to find evidence of Lin Su's crimes as soon as possible, otherwise Xu Xiaolin will really be in danger."
"Can we find any clues in Han Mo's diary?"
Hearing Liang Zichen's words, Wang Shen shook his head. "It probably won't work. Xu Xiaolin must have thoroughly investigated Han Mo's past. If there were any clues about the murderer hidden in her records, Xu Xiaolin would have discovered them long ago. Then she wouldn't be able to be deceived by Lin Su anymore."
Liang Zichen nodded. "Captain Wang, no wonder you didn't seem very interested in those diaries. But there's another possibility. We might find some clues that Xu Xiaolin didn't."
Hearing Liang Zichen's words, Wang Shen sighed and said, "I hope so."
"By the way, when can we get these diaries?" Liang Zichen asked immediately.
"Tonight at 10 o'clock, Xu Xiaolin will go with us to the old house where they lived when they were young. The diary is kept in the old house."
After hearing Wang Shen's words, Liang Zichen also questioned the time Xu Xiaolin had arranged. "Why so late? Couldn't we have gone earlier?"
Wang Shen shook his head. "Xu Xiaolin has a book launch tonight, so she won't be free until after 9:30."
"A book launch?" Liang Zichen asked in surprise. "Does Xu Xiaolin have a new book coming out?"
"Probably."
"These two sisters truly possess equally strong writing genes," Liang Zichen remarked.
"Anyway, let's wait until we get the diary tonight before we talk about it." With that, Wang Shen walked towards his office.
When Wang Shen arrived at the Criminal Investigation Department, he walked straight into the office. There were three police officers sitting inside. Upon seeing Wang Shen enter, they immediately stood up and saluted.
"Xiao Xu, you were the one who took the statement from Xiao Lin's wife yesterday, right?" Wang Shen walked up to one of the police officers and asked.
"Yes, Captain Wang."
Have you found any suspicious clues?
"I didn't find anything. The woman complained almost all night. Later, when I realized I had nothing more to ask, I sent her away. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen someone so happy after her husband's death." The police officer said, shaking his head with a wry smile.
“With her husband dead, all the property is hers, saving her the trouble of getting a divorce. Of course, this is a great thing. It seems this woman isn't stupid at all.” Liang Zichen stood to the side, listening to the police officer's words, and said this in an annoyed tone.
After Liang Zichen finished speaking, the police officer picked up a piece of paper from his desk and handed it to Wang Shen. "Captain Wang, I was worried that you might have some questions for her, so I had her leave a phone number where you can contact her."
Wang Shen glanced at the number in his hand, then patted the police officer on the shoulder and said, "You've really worked hard, and you've thought of everything so thoroughly."
After saying this, Wang Shen smiled and left the Criminal Investigation Department's office.
“It seems we still need to visit this woman again,” Wang Shen said as he walked toward his office.
"Huh? Why? Does she have any valuable clues?" Liang Zichen asked in surprise as he followed Wang Shen.
