"So there's no need for you to be worried."
Luo Fei's tone made the young woman purse her lips.
Old Han could also tell she was sowhat unhappy.
She seed to mind Luo Fei's attitude, especially since he said sothing like, the other party couldn't possibly be interested in her.
He cleared his throat.
"Miss, when you were with this man, did he ever do anything strange, or were there seemingly trivial details?"
"Yes, officer, usually when others co here, they turn up the TV's volu on purpose, not really to watch TV."
"Only he enjoys watching legal programs, and he seems engrossed in them..."
As Zhang Cuihong spoke, she pursed her lips.
"Thinking back now, he's likely trying not to be caught by the police. So, he keeps watching legal shows to keep up with the police's latest investigation."
Listening to the young woman's analysis.
Luo Fei nodded.
"Xiaocui, you're right."
"Besides that, what else do you know about him?"
Upon hearing Luo Fei's question, the young woman nodded vigorously.
"Officer, I visited his dorm once. It's at a youth hostel in Xiangyang Town. He rented a room by himself."
Her words made Luo Fei's body tremble.
"Do you rember the address?"
"I do."
Zhang Cuihong nodded vigorously.
"I can take you officers there right now."
Upon her agreent, Luo Fei nodded gratefully.
"Great, then we'll trouble you, miss."
A mont later.
Led by the young woman.
Luo Fei and his team soon arrived at their destination.
Upon discovering it's a youth hostel in a secluded alley.
Han Tiesheng felt disheartened.
"Mr. Luo, according to Cheng Bing's case records, this place was already checked before."
"And they didn't find any clues."
Han Tiesheng sounded a bit worried.
He seed concerned that Luo Fei might find nothing.
But Luo Fei spoke earnestly.
"Their failure doesn't an we won't find anything."
"Since we decided to pursue this, there's no need to hold back."
Luo Fei said, proceeding to the youth hostel's front desk.
He briefly explained the origin of the situation to the hostel's owner.
However, after hearing Luo Fei's analysis.
The hostel owner felt a bit bewildered.
"Hold on, officer, I'm a bit confused by what you said."
"Are you suggesting that renter Xiaowang might be the murderer? That seems unlikely."
Seeing disbelief on his face.
Seeming unable to believe what he said.
Luo Fei seriously replied.
"You didn't mishear. I'm absolutely serious; this isn't exaggeration."
"So, for safety's sake, I hope you cooperate with us in our investigation. We aim to eliminate any risk quickly."
The owner nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, officer, please wait a mont, I'll get the room key."
A mont later.
Following the owner to the dormitory entrance.
Luo Fei couldn't help but be curious.
"Sir, it seems this person vacated the room a long ti ago; yet you still haven't rented it out?"
Luo Fei seed surprised.
The owner explained with a smile.
"Officer, you might not be aware. Although this person moved out a long ti ago, about half a month has passed, he intentionally paid for an extra month."
"He said he might co back anyti, so he paid extra deliberately."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei pressed further.
"Did he co back afterward?"
"No, since this is a youth hostel, people co and go frequently."
"I require everyone to register upon entry. But Wang Eryong, after leaving last ti, never reappeared."
As the door swung open.
Luo Fei felt a chill.
For on the bunk bed, a uniform was laid.
Seeing the yellow employee uniform.
Luo Fei frowned.
Because it was clearly the uniform Wang Eryong wore while fixing air conditioners.
The size even matched that reported by witnesses.
Old Han swiftly moved to the balcony.
"Mr. Luo, from this balcony, you can see three exits at once. If the police ca knocking, he could escape imdiately."
Old Han spoke, shaking his head in resignation.
At the sa ti.
Luo Fei noticed.
Beside him, Zhang Cuihong's expression was a bit off.
Cajoling curiosity.
"Zhang Cuihong, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
"Officer, I need to use the restroom, can I?"
Recognizing her discomfort.
Luo Fei gestured.
Indicating permission.
But as soon as she entered, a shriek sounded.
"Ah!"
Her near-hysterical cry.
Luo Fei jolted.
"What happened?"
As Luo Fei and Old Han entered the bathroom.
They saw the girl slumped on the floor, disbelief etched on her face.
She seed in a state of shock.
On the verge of collapse.
Luo Fei initially appeared baffled.
But following her gaze.
Luo Fei saw the mirror.
There, a face drawn with toothpaste.
Resembling Zhang Cuihong precisely.
But appearing sinisterly distorted, intensely horrifying.
This made Zhang Cuihong even more anxious.
Fretfully asking.
"Mr. Luo, what should I do? Won't this guy co after ?"
"If he targets , wouldn't that be terrible?"
At this mont, Zhang Cuihong was frightened, her legs weak.
Her face full of disbelief.
Hardly daring to breathe.
Yet Luo Fei seriously replied.
"Miss Zhang, I'm quite sure he won't co after you; he left your likeness here to scare and threaten you, so you wouldn't convey details to the police."
Luo Fei's assurance.
Yet Zhang Cuihong remained anxious.
"Officer, though you say so, you can't be 100% sure about a criminal's mindset, right?"
"I'm still unmarried; I don't want to face any accidents."
Seeing her panic-stricken, nearly losing her soul.
Old Han proposed.
"Miss, how about this: we'll take you to the station for a statent first, then assign protection officers close by. If anything arises, quickly contact local police. Is this more reassuring?"
Following Old Han's repeated persuasion.
The girl sighed, relieved.
"Officer, if that's so, thank you."
Watching her agree, shedding her fear.
Old Han dialed his phone.
Ready to summon a colleague to escort Zhang Cuihong.
Ring! Ring!
As Luo Fei and team exited the youth hostel.
It was already past 8 PM.
Luo Fei recalled leaving in the morning.
Investigating certainly makes ti fly.
"Hello, who is it?"
Luo Fei initially assud.
It was Yang i inviting him for dinner.
She arrived yesterday, wanting to dine with Luo Fei, but never had the opportunity.
Unexpectedly.
Upon taking the call.
Excitedly, Yang i spoke.
"Mr. Luo, just now, Shen Ruolan called, asking if we'd dine together and discuss Sun Yida."
Detecting Yang i's awkward tone.
Seemingly uncertain.
Luo Fei remained calm.
"Since she's suggested it, let's et her. It's not a big deal."
Luo Fei spoke casually.
Yang i hesitated.
"Mr. Luo, is this alright?"
"If she's upset, endangering her pregnancy, wouldn't it be troubleso?"
Yang i was hesitant.
Luo Fei solemnly replied.
"Yang i, if she tries investigating herself and gets into danger, that'd be far worse."
Leaving Yang i unable to retort.
