Huo Chen’s expression changed instantly. He looked at the little heart with a doubtful expression. “The necklace… the necklace can talk?”
“That’s right. Officer Huo, is this the first time you’ve seen a talking necklace? Are you surprised? Do you think I’m very powerful?!” The little heart let out a crisp laugh.
Huo Chen didn’t just find the little heart amazing. He found it completely unbelievable.
“Officer Huo, don’t be afraid. There’s a special mental power left behind in this necklace. It has the ability to think independently. It won’t do any evil.” Chi Jiao explained to him.
Quan Jue asked curiously, “Do the three victims have anything in common?”
“We haven’t found anything yet. Among the three victims, the first person was a Grade 10 junior from your school, Yang Lele. The second person was your school’s teacher, Jiang Shuang. Although Jiang Shuang is a music teacher for the Grade 10 students, she has never interacted with Yang Lele. She didn’t have any interactions with Zhou Qiang, either. On the other hand, Yang Lele seems to have a good relationship with Zhou Qiang’s younger brother. The two of them have been to Zhou Qiang’s bar a few times,” Huo Chen said.
“Zhou Qiang’s brother is also a student in our school?” Quan Jue asked.
“Yes, he’s in the same class as Yang Lele. His name is Zhou Xiaoyong.” With that, Huo Chen took Zhou Xiaoyong’s photo from his assistant and handed it to them.
When Chi Jiao heard Zhou Xiaoyong’s name, she found it familiar. Now that she saw the little hooligan’s face in the photo, she immediately recognized him. “I’ve seen him before.”
“How do you know such a person?” Quan Jue asked curiously.
“Previously, the little heart said that the third stone might be in the Grade 10 building, so I went there to take a look. At that time, I happened to see Zhou Xiaoyong bullying a male classmate. I tried to help and so spoke to him.” Chi Jiao looked at Zhou Xiaoyong’s photo. For some reason, she suddenly had an extremely bad premonition. “Where is this Zhou Xiaoyong now? Call him to the police station. I have something to ask him.”
“We’ve gone to the Zhou residence. However, the Zhou family is involved in some shady business, and they are very resistant to our summons. They have been unwilling to cooperate. Up until now, we haven’t been able to contact anyone from the Zhou family.” Huo Chen sighed and looked at Zhou Qiang’s corpse. “They haven’t even come to claim Zhou Qiang’s body. It’s very likely that Zhou Xiaoyong doesn’t know that Zhou Qiang is dead.”
“This family sure knows how to cause trouble. Find a way to contact Zhou Xiaoyong. I feel that this killer’s motive is not that simple. He has already killed three people. There might be other victims. We have to contact Zhou Xiaoyong as soon as possible.” Chi Jiao’s sixth sense told her that things were not that simple!
“Where’s Zhou Qiang’s phone? Since Zhou Xiaoyong is on good terms with him, perhaps we can use his number to lure him out,” Quan Jue suggested.
“That’s the strange thing. We couldn’t find Zhou Qiang’s phone. His phone is also switched off, so we can’t locate it. But our people have been monitoring his phone signal. We will know immediately if anything happens,” Huo Chen said.
“Send men to lay in wait at Zhou Xiaoyong’s house first. Once he leaves the residence, bring him to the police station for questioning,” Chi Jiao said.
