Although the clue to track the car license plate information was broken, Huo Jing Yan and the other detectives still did not give up.
With the experience of several detectives working on a case, they clung to the information taken at the end of the driving recorder, carefully examining every person, every object, every route that a vehicle without a license plate might take.
After the persistent search by these people, after eliminating many possibilities, there was only one possible path left.
According to this route, the route of the car that night was quite strange. In the end, they arrived at a reservoir at the edge of the city. It was rarely seen, so the entire reservoir seemed a bit run-down and abandoned.
Huo Jing Yan and a few detectives arrived at the reservoir together. Looking at the desolate and bottomless water of the reservoir, Huo Jing Yan had a bad premonition.
The group split up and began searching along the edge of the reservoir, afraid to miss anything.
The reservoir was surrounded by dense grass. If the murderer threw away the corpse, then this place would undoubtedly be a good place.
Huo Jing Yan carefully searched the grasslands, silently praying that he did not discover anything here. However, he also wanted to find some clues regarding the culprit as well.
This reservoir was very large. The few of them split into two and walked around in a circle, all of them walking for a long time.
When the people on both sides met again at the opposite side of the reservoir's starting point, both of them shook their heads to show that they had gained nothing.
Huo Jing Yan and the few other detectives were walking back. They wanted to go back and think over the details first, figure out the clues once again, comb through them, and see if they could find anything that they had missed.
Suddenly, one of the detectives walking on the dam exclaimed.
"Ah, come quickly. This, this person …"
Hearing that, Huo Jing Yan became nervous again. After calming himself down, he walked towards the reservoir.
The other detectives heard the exclamation and hurried over.
The group gathered around the detective who had discovered the situation and looked in the direction of his finger.
Huo Jing Yan looked over, and his pupils contracted, and he could not help but take in a breath of cold air. Even the detectives who had been working the case for years felt a chill on their backs when they saw the situation.
How was this a person?
It was clearly a corpse!
There was a corpse floating in the reservoir. It had been soaked to the skin and had swelled to an unrecognizable state. Without the protection of his clothes, its whitened skin was particularly eye-catching in the daylight!
Compared to the other private investigators, Huo Jing Yan had never seen such a heavy taste. How could he bear with such a sight?
Unfortunately, An Xin died in the end.
And he died so miserably.
It was a pity that the last bit of hope left in Huo Jing Yan's heart had also been shattered.
And completely destroyed.
Huo Jing Yan's heart suffered a huge blow, and basically lost the ability to think. From the nausea he felt when he first saw the corpse to the moment when he was sure that the person was the peace that he had been searching for all these days, he could not help but stand there dumbly.
In the end, one of the private detectives took out his cell phone to report that he had found An Xin's body.
When the police arrived at the reservoir, they carefully surveyed the entire reservoir. They scooped up the body, carefully compared the photo and ID of An Xin with the one sentence, which had turned white and swollen, and confirmed that the body was indeed An Xin himself.
After a few days of investigation and searching, they finally found a few days of peace, but what they found was a corpse.
The police had taken the body away, but unfortunately it was too late to find any valuable evidence or clues, no matter how far they looked.
"Mr. Howe, we, the police, are very grateful for you providing such great assistance in this case. We, the police, will definitely do our best to investigate and solve this case, give you a satisfactory account to her relatives and the general public. We will absolutely not let the culprit get away scot-free after committing such a crime."
With that, the police left the reservoir with An Xin's body.
Immediately, the entire reservoir quieted down. Huo Jing Yan told the few private investigators to return first, but he did not end their collaboration. He told them to continue their investigation and to find the culprit.
Huo Jing Yan stood by the side of the reservoir, looking at the bottomless pool of water. An Xin had also died. Just like An Ran, she had also met with mishaps.
Why did this happen? The deaths of the two sisters were all related to Huo Jing Yan. Right now, Huo Jing Yan's entire body was enveloped by that unprecedented feeling of remorse, the weight of two young lives pressing down on his body made it hard for him to breathe.
Actually, from the time he died peacefully, to the time he died in peace, it was only an indirect relationship between Huo Jing Yan. All of these things that happened were not caused by Huo Jing Yan alone.
But because he was Huo Jing Yan's girlfriend when An Ran had died and even made the last call to Huo Jing Yan before her death, Huo Jing Yan had become the last person An Ran would contact in this world.
"I'll be here waiting for you."
Therefore, this matter had always been in Huo Jing Yan's heart, and had always been hidden in the deepest part of his heart. Enron had also become his lifelong pain.
Therefore, towards An Xin, the person who was closely related to An Ran, Huo Jing Yan would take extra care of her. She wanted to more or less gain some comfort from taking care of An Xin.
But now, because of something that he had gone overboard for a moment, even An Xin had created an irreparable situation. Coincidentally, An Xin's last call was also to Huo Jing Yan, which meant that Huo Jing Yan was the last person she would contact in this world, but that person couldn't save her life. Even though he didn't even know that such a thing would happen at that time.
Why did the sisters have to be related to him, and why did they get into trouble because of this? Why did that killing madman act so viciously towards them? Huo Jing Yan felt that letting this homicidal mania get away scot-free like this was really unfair. He must find him.
