Chapter 773 - 716 Suspicion
Some people die and by the time they begin to smell, they’re merely mistaken for a large, dead rat; some people are alive, and yet every day they are asked, "Are you dead yet?"
If you’re good-looking or handsome, it’s easy to become the center of attention, just like in school, where people always mention the pretty student’s name, asking "Where did XX go?", while some less noticeable students, returning after three days off, are greeted with "Oh, so you weren’t here these past few days?"
"Being so beautiful and going missing without anyone reporting it, the husband must have done it," Zhan Kan, seated behind Jiang Yuan, boldly speculated.
He had gotten used to speaking his mind in the office and, without realizing it, said this in front of Tao Lu.
Wang Chuanxing, opposite him, was using the computer to search for related information and slowly said, "None of the three have husbands. They are all 29."
"Boyfriends?" Zhan Kan guessed again.
"That doesn’t explain the lack of missing persons reports," Liu Jinghui paused, furrowing his brow, and asked, "Do they all have parents and siblings? Any relatives?"
"Let me check..." Wang Chuanxing quickly looked over the material, making notes on the paper, ticking and crossing things, and soon said, "I’ll number them 1, 2, and 3. No. 1 has both parents, No. 2’s father is deceased, No. 3’s mother is deceased..."
"All three have parents then," Liu Jinghui slightly furrowed his brow and quickly continued, "Check their phones, look at the call records, WeChat, chat histories." Liu Jinghui had worked on too many cases; he actually had some ideas already, and now it was just about systematically eliminating possibilities and looking for evidence.
This is actually similar to a doctor—what do you do when a patient comes for a diagnosis? You just ask about symptoms one by one and eliminate them; in most cases, there’s no need for a brilliant or creative mind.
