Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend Chapter 1219 1219: Signal Device Code

That little girl?

If we're talking about the people and things Xiaofan ca into contact with, the only one left unchecked is that girl.

Because the girl was badly frightened, when the police were taking statents they only had her guardian co out and explain.

So when Xiaofan picked that little girl up, did he not say anything to her?

Right now, the only lead left to find Xiaofan is that little girl. With Xiaofan's level of intelligence, it's not impossible he'd do sothing like that.

"Hello, is this Captain Chen? I'm Li Kuo, I was at the station today. Mm, could you give the address of that mother and daughter from the restaurant last ti? Yeah, it's urgent, sorry to trouble you."

In less than five minutes, Li Kuo received their ho address and phone number.

It was already close to ten at night, so they were probably resting.

But with things this urgent, Li Kuo had no choice but to call and disturb them.

The call went through, and he learned that because the girl had been traumatized, they had taken her to a farmhouse resort outside the city for a few days to help her relax.

So the two of them imdiately drove over.

In front of a small hotel at the farmhouse resort, they knocked on a room door.

The one who opened it was a man in his thirties, presumably the girl's father.

"Hello, I'm Li Kuo, the one who just called."

"Oh, hello. Please, co in."

"I'm really sorry to bother you so late."

"It's fine. As long as you can catch those robbers sooner, so Jiajia can feel at ease and go back to school, that's all that matters."

Jiajia was the little girl's na. The gunfight and the deaths last ti had dealt her young mind quite a blow. The psychologist said that unless news ca that the bandits had been caught so she could gradually feel safe, she'd live on in a constant state of anxious unease.

After the two entered the room, they saw the little girl curled up in her mother's arms watching TV.

When she saw them co in, unease and timidity flickered in the girl's eyes.

"Sorry to disturb you so late."

"Go ahead and ask whatever you need. Jiajia, tell the police uncles whatever you know, that way they can catch the bad guys faster." The girl's mother was clearly the empathetic type.

"Mm." At the word "police," the little girl seed less nervous than before.

Maybe it was because of that female officer she'd interacted with earlier; she had a strong sense of dependence on the police, felt that as long as they were there, she was safe.

Li San and Li Kuo weren't police, but this wasn't the ti to point that out.

"We actually don't have much to ask. Jiajia, do you rember that foreigner who was holding you at the ti?" Li Kuo got straight to the point.

"Mm, I rember."

"When he was holding you, did he say anything to you?" Li San followed up.

"Mm… I think he said, 'Don't be scared, it's okay.'" The girl had been terrified at the ti, but that reassurance had made her feel unusually safe.

That voice was almost hypnotic; she just felt that with him there, nothing could hurt her.

"Okay, can you try to think carefully if he said anything else to you, or did anything strange? It's really important to us." Li Kuo pressed on.

Hearing that, Jiajia imdiately started to think seriously.

But no matter how she tried, under circumstances that tense, no normal person would give so crucial clue to a little girl, right?

So under the expectant gaze of Li San and Li Kuo, the little girl could only helplessly shake her head.

At that point, even if they didn't want to give up, there was nothing they could do.

"Sorry to disturb your rest. If you think of anything useful, please contact right away—especially if it's so string of numbers or anything like that, call imdiately." In the end, Li Kuo could only get up to leave.

"Mm, okay."

"Little sister, don't be scared. It won't be long before big brother here drags all those bad guys in."

"Mm. You have to save the police big sister."

"We will."

The girl's voice was very sweet; you could tell she was well-behaved.

They'd co full of hope and left in disappointnt. What on earth was Xiaofan playing at?

"Hey, hey, eyes on the road, eyes on the road. What are you spacing out for? I'll drive."

Because Li Kuo was lost in thought and not focused on driving, he almost ramd into the guardrail.

Li Kuo shot him a look, then switched seats under Li San's insistent demand.

As soon as he sat in the passenger seat, it took less than three minutes for Li Kuo to start snoring.

"Ring ring ring…"

Just then, the ringtone jolted the newly sleeping Li Kuo awake.

He glanced at the number, shot upright, and fumbled to hit the answer button.

"Hello, this is Li Kuo."

"Who is it, calling like it's life or death?" Li San asked curiously.

"Pull over, pull over…" Listening to the call, Li Kuo gestured for Li San to stop the car. "What? You found a string of numbers? Where? Okay, I'll co right back."

"You found it?"

"Turn around, damn…"

Sure enough, that guy really had left a code on the little girl. This trip hadn't been for nothing.

The two of them sped back to the farmhouse hotel.

When she saw them return, the girl's mother imdiately handed a small slip of paper to Li Kuo.

"There seem to be so numbers on this. See if it's what you were looking for?"

"This—this is a model device code. Yeah, this is it." The mont he saw the numbers on the slip, Li Kuo recognized them.

"Where did you find it?" Li San asked casually.

"In Jiajia's clothes. Right after you left, I ran her bath. The clothes… I washed them once before. She hasn't worn them since, so I only just saw it."

"That damn kid, he really calculated every step down to the minute. It's our fault too—we were too slow to catch on."

Holding the code, Li Kuo bowed slightly to the family of three, then left at once.

Once they got in the car, they sped back toward the city.

"Damn, Xiaofan really knows how to play us." Li San said with a wry smile.

"It's not that Xiaofan's playing us. It's that we're too slow on the uptake. He'd mapped out his moves long ago, we just couldn't see through them. Even when we finally guessed it, we were a beat too slow. I just hope finding this now is still in ti."

"Got a match yet?"

"We're short two digits. The note went through the wash, and two of the numbers are illegible."

"So what do we do now?"

"What ti is it?"

"Twelve ten, just past midnight."

"Call Elder Fan."

"Okay."

Li San imdiately dialed Fan Lingtian's private number.
