Chapter 3
Fang Qing thought about it and said, “It seems like it, but not quite.”
“How would you describe it?” His partner asked.
“If the killer had an abnormal mental mindset, he would kill people impulsively, but the crime scene is too clean. He obviously planned the crime out like a normal person would. However, it is indeed true that he handled the corpse extremely crazily, like a perverted person.”
The two of them didn’t speak again. After all, they didn’t have any experience with this type of murder case.
The night sky got darker and darker before their eyes. The police weren’t made of steel so Fang Qing gave everyone half a night’s break to go home and rest. Fang Qing slowly walked out of the police station for a stroll.
The moonlight was very bright. Whenever his heart wasn’t calm, Fang Qing liked to walk around the ancient city. Furthermore, they were unable to find any leads for the case. Fang Qing had always followed an old police saying: Once a case has run into a bottleneck, go back to the crime scene again.Who knows? One may discover something new.
After walking for a little bit, he walked by the Yao family’s inn. It was a little past eleven p.m. and the main door of the inn was wide open. As far as he could see, there really wasn’t anyone in the inn. Fang Qing thought about it and walked inside.
The Yao’s inn was pretty well known throughout the ancient city. The Yao family was a very prominent family in the area. Yao Yuange was currently the head of the household, and he had many inns, restaurants, and factories under his control so he could be considered a local tycoon. Reportedly, the Yao’s courtyard was an old residence that was left from the Ming or Qing dynasty. As for the members of the Yao family, he heard they lived in an old house nearby.
In each of the four corners of the courtyard, there was a stone statue of a beast. These statues looked very intimidating. The courtyard was big with a garden behind it, which contained a fish pond and quite a few trees. Fang Qing went into the garden, and saw a middle aged man standing near the fish pond, feeding the fish.
