49 The Third Victim (1/2)

The longer Xia Qingyi listened, the more irritated she became. She stood up and started to leave when she suddenly froze.

She seemed to have thought of something, something important.

If the first victim had been a student with a hidden identity of a prostitute, and the second victim was an ordinary white-collar worker with a hidden identity, then perhaps their hidden identities could be related as to why they were targeted by the murderer.

She thought back to the photograph. The girl was lying in the middle of the street, the ground covered in blood, and her clothes were still in place.

What kind of clothes was the girl wearing at the time? A short-sleeved yellow top, a pleated skirt, with high heels. Her hair was wavy, with traces of heavy makeup residue on her face.

She had not returned home straight after work, and went to a crowded street wearing heavy makeup instead. The time of death was midnight, there were no signs of struggle before her death. The murderer was so quick that she had no time to scream before her throat was slit and she bled to death.

She could be a prostitute as well.

This thought suddenly came to Xia Qingyi.

Immediately, her mind cleared. If this was true, this meant that the murderer's next target was definitely a woman who appeared to be proper in public, but was selling her own body.

Xia Qingyi wanted to contact Zhang Yang immediately and tell him her theory. After rummaging in her bag, she finally found the name card he gave her and called him.

The moment the call went through, she heard his flustered voice, seemingly talking to someone beside him. ”Go and maintain order... other than police officers, no one else is allowed in!”

”And also... tell the crowd no photography allowed! The media is not allowed to enter either!”

”Zhang Yang...what's going on?” Xia Qingyi asked.
