“Not resigned?” When Zhou Qiang heard Su Xuan’s words, he first paused, then suddenly realized. Apparently, not everyone chose to resign when faced with such situations. It’s tough to find a job these days!

“But if you think the one responsible might not have resigned, why are you looking for them?” Zhou Qiang was perplexed.

“Since you mentioned having photos, why didn’t we just identify them from the pictures?” he continued, sounding a bit frustrated. “You’ve had these photos for so long, and you didn’t tell me. I was wondering why you insisted I find them.” “Damn… You…” Zhou Qiang was about to accuse Su Xuan of playing a trick on him, but in reality, he hadn’t thought in that direction. He just wanted to lighten the serious atmosphere.

Who could have expected this? It turned out to be such a horrifying situation. The deceased, as a streamer, had behaved so abhorrently that Zhou Qiang, if not a cop, would have said he got what he deserved!

“We need to understand what these individuals did in the past,” Su Xuan explained. “And it’s clear that approaching the victims is the best way to do that. But it’s very likely…”

Su Xuan didn’t finish his sentence, but Zhou Qiang understood what he meant. If they approached those girls, it might bring back unpleasant memories for them.

“I really hope this thing can be over soon,” Zhou Qiang couldn’t help but speak. Su Xuan sighed without saying anything, and continued driving. Zhou Qiang knew that Su Xuan shared the same sentiment.

“It’s so damn shocking!” Zhou Qiang exclaimed. “I never imagined it would turn out like this. I need to see where that room is and take a good look at it. I didn t even notice that thing, how could…”

Although not as skilled as Su Xuan, Zhou Qiang was undoubtedly an excellent police officer. Something like not discovering an entire room in the deceased’s house wouldn’t have happened under his watch.

But…

The reality was that it did happen!

“Damn it! What’s going on… How did I miss that room… I searched the entire place thoroughly during the investigation,” Zhou Qiang said, his astonishment evident.

This revelation had truly shocked Zhou Qiang to a certain extent. Since the deceased died in his own home, the police would surely have combed through every nook and cranny for clues. However, it seemed they had missed a hidden place.

Zhou Qiang’s thoughts were something Su Xuan couldn’t possibly be unaware of. However, if it weren’t for the system’s detection, even Su Xuan might not have found this hidden chamber.

“I’ll take you there later,” Su Xuan said. “The hiding place was too well concealed, so it’s normal that you didn’t find it.”

With that, Su Xuan arrived at the home of the resigned makeup artist. According to the investigation, this makeup artist had been staying at home recently and hadn’t sought another job. So when Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang arrived, she was still at home, and she opened the door for them.

“You’ve come here just to ask me about this?” The makeup artist looked at Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang with shock. Although she had been a little frightened when she saw the two police officers coming to her home earlier, now that she heard the news of the man’s death in her house, she burst into laughter.

“Hahaha!”

“I said it before, this guy was bound to get what was coming to him!”

“It’s as if fate itself was speaking, hahaha!”

“He deserved it, he deserved to die!”

“So now, you think I killed him, don’t you?” The makeup artist, named Zhou Jiyun, immediately spoke up. She had a cold expression on her face. “Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I have nothing to do with this. If you can investigate that I’m here, you should also know that I haven’t left my house since I lost my job.”

“Me, a murderer?”

“Haha!”

“What a joke!”

Zhou Qiang frowned as he looked at Zhou Jiyun’s demeanor. He couldn’t deny that this situation was giving him a headache. However, there was no other way. Before they came up here, he and Su Xuan had already divided their roles. He would initiate the conversation, and Su Xuan would observe from behind. They needed to see if this makeup artist showed any signs of guilt.

But it was clear…

She hadn’t, and she hadn’t even left her room. With this in mind, Zhou Qiang’s gaze instinctively shifted to Su Xuan, who was standing at the door. Su Xuan nodded slightly in response.

Without speaking, the two of them walked out of the room. After they left, Zhou Jiyun promptly closed the door. Seeing this, both Zhou Qiang and Su Xuan took a deep breath and descended the stairs.

“What do you think?” Zhou Qiang asked as they got into the car. They had discussed this before entering, but Su Xuan had signaled him to leave after only a short conversation with the makeup artist. This left Zhou Qiang somewhat puzzled.

“It’s not her,” Su Xuan said solemnly. “You didn’t see it. When she first saw the two of us men, she backed away. Even when we revealed our police uniforms, she was trembling all over. It can’t be her. Besides, when we mentioned the victim’s death just now, her surprise was genuine. I believe you saw that, right?”

Su Xuan’s words had struck a chord with Zhou Qiang. What Su Xuan had seen, Zhou Qiang had also witnessed. Now, hearing Su Xuan’s words, he nodded in agreement.

“I saw it too,” Zhou Qiang admitted. “I thinkyou’re right. It’s highly likely that the person who did this hasn’t left the team. After all, those who’ve already left wouldn’t have had this opportunity. Should we go and talk to the others?” According to Zhou Qiang’s perspective, the others who had left the team, like Zhou Jiyun, probably didn’t have a chance to come into contact with the perpetrator. Their visit might only serve to reopen the psychological wounds of these girls.

“Let’s go,” Su Xuan replied.

He understood Zhou Qiang’s point of view, but he had a different perspective.■ 1 know what you’re thinking, but we’re police officers. Despite the despicable actions of the victim, we need to prioritize finding the killer first. That’s justice.”

With that, the car fell into silence. Both Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang remained quiet. After learning the details of the case, neither of them really wanted to pursue the killer anymore. It was only natural. Who could witness such a heinous act and not feel that the victim got what they deserved?

They were police officers, but they were also human beings. When faced with such brutality, it was difficult not to believe that the person had it coming. In fact, if the perpetrator were still alive, they might have gone after them themselves.

But they were police officers, and they had a duty. They had to find the killer and bring this case to a close.

“Let’s go find them,” Su Xuan finally sighed and spoke.

Zhou Qiang closed his eyes and started the car.

“Really…” he muttered, “Why did he die so soon?

Indeed, Su Xuan was also pondering the same question.. Why did he die so

soon?
