Even without deliberately slling it, the familiar odors filling the workspace already confird for Luo Fei that Xu Dake was indeed the suspect he was looking for.
"Manager Wang, do you have the address and contact information for Xu Dake? Please give it to imdiately!"
At the sa ti, he imdiately took out his phone and quickly dialed Zhao Donglai’s number.
"Captain Zhao, I have now identified the kidnapper’s identity. Please have the police team investigate a person nad Xu Dake right away."
On this end, Zhao Donglai had already arrived at the hotel lobby.
Suddenly receiving a call from Luo Fei, he didn’t have ti to ask before hearing the other party quickly say all this.
At that mont, Zhao Donglai was so delighted that he almost jumped up!
This is great, now they would be able to save face!
No ti for further questions, Zhao Donglai hurriedly responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll call Zhang Fan and have them check it out right now!"
Just now, without explaining anything, Luo Fei had run off, so Zhao Donglai had instructed everyone to split into two groups; he took Yang Su, Wang Lei, and Xia Zheng to follow Luo Fei, while the rest stayed at the police station to continue monitoring the surveillance.
After hanging up, he imdiately called Zhang Fan to explain the situation.
Just after explaining, Luo Fei quickly ran out of the hotel, too.
Zhao Donglai put away his phone and quickly t up, "Luo Fei, what did you find..."
"Captain Zhao, there’s no ti to explain anymore, we need to get to Happiness District on Orchid Street imdiately, or else I’m worried Sun Ling might be in trouble."
Just now, through Wang Chuanzhi, Luo Fei already learned Xu Dake’s ho address.
Although not sure if he is still there, it must be checked first.
Hearing this, the expressions of the group changed greatly, and they couldn’t waste any words.
"Let’s go quickly!" Zhao Donglai shouted and was the first to run out.
The group got into the car and sped towards Happiness District on Orchid Street.
Just as they got into the car, Zhao Donglai’s phone rang; it was from Zhang Fan.
"Captain Zhao, following your lead, I have already found this person’s basic information."
"Xu Dake, male, 39 years old, from Changhe Town in Guangyuan County, married, has a daughter, currently renting at Building 6, Room 303, Happiness District on Orchid Street."
"Alright, I understand."
As they ended the call, Luo Fei then told Zhao Donglai his recent findings.
"Captain Zhao, just now when I visited the place where Xu Dake worked with Manager, I found the scent left in his workspace was the sa as the one at Sun Ling’s disappearance scene, confirming it’s the sa person."
"Additionally, from Manager Wang, I learned that this Xu Dake is honest and timid, with his only hobby being listening to Sun Ling’s songs, and he was stimulated half a year ago due to family reasons."
"So I fear he kidnapped Sun Ling, very likely intending a mutual suicide, just like the Liu Hua kidnapping case four years ago..."
That case had caused a major uproar, and Zhao Donglai and his team imdiately discerned the aning behind his words.
Xu Dake kidnapped Sun Ling, likely wanting to die together with her!
"Quick, drive faster!"
Zhao Donglai suddenly urged Xia Zheng, who was driving!
...
In the dim room, Sun Ling woke up groggily amidst familiar singing.
She instinctively wanted to reach her hand to rub her eyes, but she found her hands were tied behind her back.
Simultaneously, the mories before her fainting reerged in her mind.
She rembered wanting to get so fresh air, and as she sat on a bench in the park, soone covered her nose and mouth with a cloth from behind, then she lost consciousness.
So she’s been kidnapped?!
Her face instantly showed a terrified expression, struggling to get down, only to realize her feet were tied as well, causing her to fall off the bed with a thud.
The noise seed to have alard soone outside, as the door soon opened.
With a click of the switch from the other person, the light revealed a short, scrawny, ugly man who walked in.
At the sa ti, she took in the room’s layout.
This seed to be a bedroom, with the man’s clothes thrown all over in disorder.
Seeing Sun Ling on the ground, the ugly man suddenly rushed forward anxiously, "Sun Ling, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
He was filled with tension, looking at Sun Ling with a devout and humble expression, as if Sun Ling was his deity.
Unfortunately, his ugly appearance rendered his expressions sleazy and frightening.
"Get away, get away, who are you, and why did you capture ?!"
Sun Ling was terrified, retreating continuously but unable to escape the man’s grasp, as he forcibly helped her into a chair.
The ugly man did not leave, instead crouching at her feet, looking up at Sun Ling excitedly, "Finally, Sun Ling, I’ve waited for this day."
"You don’t know how long I’ve waited, listening to your songs every night to sleep. Only you, only you are my only light..."
He rambled incoherently.
Sun Ling caught the key information in his ramblings, hastily asking, "Brother, are you my fan? Please let go, if you release , I’ll give you money, any amount you want!"
Sun Ling cried miserably, pleading continuously.
But this seed to anger the man, who suddenly shouted angrily, "How can you think of like that."
"I’m doing all this to help you, to protect you. How can you humiliate with money? Don’t tell you’re like those money-grubbing wretches..."
"No, no, don’t get agitated, I don’t an to humiliate you... just, can you please let go first? I feel a bit scared."
Afraid of provoking him, Sun Ling quickly shook her head to deny and tried to persuade him.
The ugly man ignored her words, instead resting his head gently on her knees, murmuring, "Don’t worry, Sun Ling, I’m doing this for your own good. You’re so pure, so beautiful; how can the filthy world taint you."
"Don’t worry, we’ll leave this world together, to a clean, evil-free, darkness-free place."
Sun Ling was able to keep calm with the first part, but hearing the latter nonsensical words, she couldn’t remain calm any longer.
It was evident that the man before her wasn’t ntally stable.
Though unclear what he ant by leaving the world, it surely wasn’t pleasant!
"Big, big brother, calm down, let’s talk this through. Are you facing so difficulties? Tell , alright? I’ll try my best to help you!"
"I knew it, I didn’t misjudge you, Sun Ling. You’re truly a kind woman! Don’t worry, soon we’ll leave this world, and nothing will trouble us anymore. We’ll definitely be very happy."
The man said, forcing a gentle kiss on her forehead before standing up.
Sun Ling then watched in horror as he picked up a bundle of waste paper and set it alight with a lighter beside the bed!
"What are you doing, stop, stop!"
Sun Ling shouted in terror to stop him, but the ugly man not only ignored her but laughed before crouching down by her feet again.
"Just wait, Sun Ling, it won’t be long before it’s over, and no one can disturb or harm us."
"Madman, you madman! Help!"
Sun Ling was both afraid and furious, starting to scream.
Yet the man seed unfazed, instead laughing eerily, "Sun Ling, save your energy. Even if soone hears, by the ti they arrive, we’ll be burnt to death."
anwhile, the stack of newspapers had set the bedspread afla, tongues of fire rising steadily, and smoke filled the room thicker and thicker.
Sun Ling, because of her loud cries for help, inhaled quite a bit of smoke, coughing painfully.
The air beca thinner, the surrounding temperature rose steadily, and the choking smoke made her lungs contract painfully into a ball.
Facing death, Sun Ling cried desperately, wondering if today was truly her end.
Just then, with a loud crash, the bedroom door was kicked open, and through her blurry vision, she saw a figure charging in from outside.
