Chapter 606 - Strong Feeling of Unease (1/2)

It was not an easy feat to prove this.

Moreover, the case would be more complicated if there was a second murderer. That night, Bai Muchuan didn’t tell anyone else about this. He brought Xiang Wan back home to rest. The next morning, after they had breakfast, he sent a message to the Serious Crime Division One group chat that there would be a case analysis meeting at ten.

He was busy while Xiang Wan chatted with Xie Wanwan and Fang Yuanyuan in the living room.

They were talking about Xu Siqi’s case.

After all, it was someone who had worked for Xie Wanwan for a while, it was hard to not be sad.

As Xiang Wan had more time, she asked about the content of their last conversation when Xu Siqi was still alive.

Xie Wanwan repeated the content of their conversation.

Besides Xu Siqi expressing her thanks, she also hoped that Xie Wanwan could attend the party that night. To put it bluntly, the support from a well-known celebrity like Xie Wanwan would make Xu Siqi look better as well.

Xie Wanwan turned down the invitation.

It was not because of Xu Siqi, but rather, Zhang Houfa.

Her reply was: “I hope that you can achieve your dreams and fly high. I won’t be coming though. The moment I see that old man, I’d feel so disgusted I couldn’t eat.”

Xiang Wan contemplated for a moment. “So was Xu Siqi in a poor mood because of what you said?”

Xie Wanwan gave it a thought and shook her head. “Nope. When she called me, she already sounded like there was something weighing on her mind. However, I didn’t think much about it…”

Xiang Wan: “Why?”

Xie Wanwan looked at her, startled for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Xiang Wan, you’re talking more and more like the police. You have the tone that you must get to the bottom of things.”

Xiang Wan was astounded for a moment and laughed along. “I must have been influenced by them. So is it okay for you to answer my question?”

Xie Wanwan deliberated for a moment. “I felt that she was gloomy. However, in my opinion, no girl would be happy to be with an old man like Zhang Houfa. I think that this is only normal.”

What she said sounded reasonable.

Xiang Wan couldn’t find anything to rebuke that.

“So Xu Siqi stayed at Zhang Houfa’s house for the past two days?”

“Well…” Xie Wanwan shook her head, laughing a little awkwardly. “I don’t know about that. This concerns her privacy so I never asked her. But the police should be able to find out about this.”

Xiang Wan smiled. “Thank you!”

Xie Wanwan: “Don’t mention it. If there’s anything else you need, just feel free to let me know.”

Xiang Wan smiled. “I’m afraid the paparazzi will continue to stalk you for the next few days. If you can, try not to go out.”

Feeling her concern, Xie Wanwan pursed her lips. “I will. Actually, I’m used to having the paparazzi around. The reason why I moved here is not because of the paparazzi… It’s a lingering feeling of uneasiness.”

“Mm? Uneasiness?”

Xie Wanwan nodded her head. “It’s intensified now that Siqi’s dead.”

Her gaze was cold. When Xiang Wan saw that, she suddenly had a thought.

“Could it be that someone wanted to get you, but because they couldn’t find a way, they targeted Xu Siqi instead?”

Xie Wanwan was startled for a moment.

Then she laughed.

“No wonder you’re an author. You have a good imagination.”
