Chapter 535 11
After hanging up the call, Sia got on her bike and sped to the next crime scene. One or two can be coincidence, but the third time will definitely not. In order to make sure, Sia personally headed to the fourth crime scene. After reaching the crime scene, when she looked around she immediately noticed a plant of flower planted not far from the crime scene. Moreover the soil obviously pointed out the fact that the plant was planted and not birthed in that place. With her excellent memory she recalled seeing a plant of flower in passing in the fifth victim's crime scene as well. 'These flowers must be the connection between the victim and the killer'
Picking her phone, Sia called Mrs. Xu and asked "Mrs. Xu, did Ms. Xu tell you why she suddenly liked gradening?"
"No, she did not say why but she just said that she wanted to try gardening and after she did she got addicted to it"
"Got it , Thank you" without waiting for the other person to reply, Sia hung up the call and called Mr. Huo "mr. Huo, do you know that Ms. Xu liked gardening?"
"Yes, I do. Ever since she came back from city A, she suddenly picked up the hobby" Mr. Huo answered from the other side
"Then do you know why did she suddenly pick this hobby?" Sia asked expectantly
"Yes, she did tell me once. After loosing her friend she was devasted. So when she was walking feeling depressed, she happened to pass by an exhibition where they were exhibiting different varieties of plant. She simply went their due to her curiosity but after seeing those plants she said she felt happy and her mood also seemed to have improved. And so ever since then she too started planting flowers in her yard" Mr. Huo answered
"Did Ms. Xu say where and when the exhibition was held?" This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
"No, she did not"
"Alright sir"
As soon as inspector J left, HK called Sia to update his findings "I checked the crime scene and there was indeed a flower plant that was recently planted. I also talked to the victims family and they said the victim did have the habit of gardening"
"Got it. HK drop all the work you have in hand and focus on finding Kiki's uncle's son. At any cost, I want to know who he is. I'm sure he must be behind all these murder"
"Alright, I will work on it immediately"
Time was ticking and they hardly had enough time in their hand. Just then, Inspector J barged into the room holding a list in his hand. "Mr. Shien, we found it. Initially we had no idea about this exhibition, it was actually a friend of mine who stayed at city A gave me this information. Infact this could not be considered a exhibition, instead it was actually a plant workshop. This workshop thought people the knowledge about gardening and information about plants. They even exhibited various varities of plants that was hard to find even in exhibition. The people who attended these workshops are basically those who like gardening and would like to know more about it" Presenting the list to Sia, he explained "The people from the workshop recorded information of all those who attended the workshop. This workshop was not only held in city A but also in city F, and city B. After we filtered the list, we found a few people from the list who belonged to city F and who had attended the workshop more than twice. Even victim no 1 had attended the workshop more than once. Excluding males, we found thirty females who has attending this workshop. We checked about all these females and found out that seven of them are currently not in the city. Two of them left to study abroad, one of them moved to live in another city, two of them got married and now living with their husband who don't live in this city and the other two got transferred to other city's. Now we have twenty three females left and out of which four of them have already succumbed."
After he finished reporting he took a deep breath and waited for Sia's next order. But even after waiting, when he did not hear anything he looked at Sia who seemed to be in daze and called out cautiously "Mr. Shien? Mr. Shien?"
"Huh? Oh, got it. Check the list of male and look if there is any suspicious person in the list. Also cross check the number and see if any of these male's phone number was active near the crime scene"
"Yes Sir" after saluting to Sia, he immediately turned around and left the scene.
Once the officer left, Sia's face turned cold and she suddenly clenched her fist tightly when she saw a particular name on the list.
