Chapter 529 5

Just as Sia and HK stood up intending to leave, Mr. Huo suddenly spoke "I forgot to mention one thing"

Turning around Sia asked "And what is that?"

"There is one thing I find weird. When I called my girlfriend for the second time that day, she seemed to be going in a cab"

"We have checked your girlfriends activity but found no booking for a cab" HK answered patiently while Sia observed him quietly

"That is what the weirdest part. My girlfriend is extremely cautious. She never books for a cab when she is alone. She usually uses subways and always choses the crowded road to go home since that's the only way she feels safe. But that day she was clearly going in a cab"

"Did she tell you that personally?"

"No, I guessed it based on the background noise. The were sounds of cars honking and driving past, and the sound of wind whistlings. There was no sound of people or announcements like in the subways"

"You mean to say your girlfriend went in a car instead of subway on the day she went missing. And more importantly, based on how cautious your girlfriend is, she would definitely not choose to go in a cab alone which means she must have travelled with a familiar person. It must either be a co worker or friend who happened to be there conincidentally" Ëxpłœrę thë ørîgîn øf thïš ďåtå, ðëëplÿ røøtëd ïn n0v[lb¡n★

Seeing that Sia understood his point, Mr. Huo heaved a sigh and nodded his head. Thinking of something, Sia immideately turned around to leave. Before leaving, she did not forget to advice him "You, get back to your sense soon"

"let's go"

Then without saying much, Sia walked out of the monitoring room. While walking out, she called the police station and asked "Check the location of each one of Ms. Xu's colleagues on XX day between nine to ten immediately"

After issuing the order Sia made her way out of the company and drove through the path that Ms. Xu usually walked to head to the subway. But there weren't much surveillance camera that could capture Ms. Xu so it was impossible to find out whom Ms. Xu left with. Seeing that they could not find any clues here, Sia and HK left the scene and headed back to the police station. On the way, HK could not help but ask "Aren't you going to check other victims? May be we could find some clues from their side?"

"No use"

"Why do you say so?"

Instead of answering, Sia asked "Do you know why I choose Ms. Xu out of the four victims leaving aside the fifth victim? Its because of her personality. Unlike other victims, Ms. Xu was extremely cautious and never followed strangers. Moreover she was very particular with people and never bothered with unimportant people. For her to follow the criminal, he must be someone she knows or atleast trusts. We couldn't find any clues from Ms. Xu's side who was extremely cautious and always followed the crowd, we won't find any clues from the other three either since the other three victims were in non survielence zone or used to walk through path that weren't under survielence. So the only way to break through this case is the first victim and hopefully the fifth victim"

"Now whats your next plan"

"To head back to the station"

And just like that another day passed. The next day Sia finally received the report she was awaiting for. After skimming through the list, Sia slapped the sheet onto the desk and said "We finally found a clue. The criminal must be someone familiar to the victim. But at present we can only confirm that the first victim was familiar with the killer"
