Coming of the Villain Boss! Chapter 1163 – The Boss Is Out (31)

Yu Jing looked like a prickly gangster at that time. No matter what you said, he would prick you.

He had no ID card, no money, and looked like a poor abandoned child.

Later when Peng Pai recalled the scene, he felt very sorry for his boss.

Such a beautiful child. Why was he so pitiful?

Of course, it turned out Peng Pai was thinking wrong. Although his boss looked poor, he was actually not lacking money.

Peng Pai was a person who wasn’t afraid of spines. So with his unremitting effort, he developed a solid friendship with Yu Jing.

To calculate it precisely, it was actually less than half a year since the two met each other.

Ming Shu chutted. “Based on this story, I wouldn’t even be surprised if he makes a love confession to you.”

Peng Pai quickly waved his hands. “No, no, how would I dare to sully my boss.”

He was not gay!

He was straight! Straight as hell!

“Sister Qi, Brother Peng.” Ertong saw the three sitting in a corner weirdly and also leaned closer. “What are you doing here?”

“Nothing, nothing.” Peng Pai laughed, embarrassed. He didn’t dare to let Yu Jing know he was telling this story. “Has your case been closed?”

Ertong’s attention was momentarily diverted, and he was still a little shy. “Not yet, but no progress. The station told us to rest since we’ve been focusing on it for so long. Well… Where’s the boss?”

“Boss, ah, he went to inherit the family fortune.”

Ertong was dumbfounded. “???”

Ming Shu drew another stool for Ertong. “Ertong, which district are you in charge of?”

Ertong thanked her hurriedly and answered after sitting down. “West District.”

“Do you know the rape case that happened by the side of Qushui River in 2014?”

Ertong was a little surprised. “Why are you asking this, Sister Qi?”

“I’m looking into something.”

Ertong looked around. They were sitting in the corner, behind them was the access to the backstage, and there wasn’t anyone around.

“This case we’re working on has to do with that one. A body was found some time ago, the criminal police in charge of the case found some clues and connected them with the previous case.”

Ertong was at a low position in the station; policemen like him could only run errands and didn’t know much about the key information.

He only knew that a special investigation team had been set up and four cases had been involved so far, including the one that happened by Qushui River.

“Well, it seems the victim’s last name was also Qiao, her name was Qiao… Qiao…” Ertong tried hard to remember the name.

Ming Shu said it for him. “Qiao Yun, my sister.”

Everyone fell into a weird silence.

Qiao Yun… Qi Yun Bar…

Ming Shu appeared very normal, so normal as to frighten them a little.

“Can you get me the files?” Ming Shu asked Ertong.

Ertong returned to himself confusedly, eyes filled with ill-disguised apology and sympathy. “These files are with the special investigation team and not allowed to be exposed… I… I can try, see if I can take some pictures for you.”

Ertong looked shy, but he formed a band with Peng Pai, which at least meant that he was not a moral man at heart.

They intended to comfort Ming Shu, but the latter didn’t react at all. She told them to return to their own businesses.

…

Ertong managed to take some pictures of the files for Ming Shu. Not only was Qiao Yun’s information included, he also got the files of another victim.

This victim was a high school student in senior year two, who never came back after she went to a lesson. Her family called the police. When they found her, she’d been dead for 24 hours.

What they all had in common, besides being women who were raped first before getting killed, was an X-shaped scratch behind their ears. According to the autopsy, the scratch was made after death, which meant that only the murderer could have done it.

When the police typed this clue into the system, it triggered the keyword, connecting it to an unsolved case.

Then the police officer who handled this case proposed that the killer was most likely a serial killer.

Based on this, they began to look for unsolved cases over the years.

It led them to find a few cases of X-shaped scratches behind the victim’s ears. Judging from the archives, no one regarded that tiny scratch as greatly important.

Because that scratch was so subtle, a careless legal medical expert, or a legal medical expert in small towns, wouldn’t write it into the report at all.

From this point of view, there may be other undiscovered victims.

When you put several cases together, you could find more things in common.

None of the victims struggled. No one knew why the victims turned up at the wrong crime scene, with traces of ecstasy and heat drugs in their body.

Ming Shu looked through Qiao Yun’s case. Ertong took the pictures secretly in panic, so some pictures were very vague, and some pages were missing.

When Qiao Yun died, in addition to her own things, nothing was found at the scene. The murderer was like a ghost and left nothing behind.

There was no sign of struggle on Qiao Yun’s body.

According to the autopsy results, she also had traces of ecstasy and that kind of drug in her body. The murderer would have allowed his victims to maintain a slight awareness, but take away their resistance. With that drug, the murderer could almost make the victims cooperate with him voluntarily.

The murderer was a calm, rational person with a strong anti-detection ability.

Ming Shu thought back to that night.

Qiao Yun received a call from Yu Ting, and parted with the Host to go meet him.

Yu Ting said that after meeting Qiao Yun, they also parted.

He didn’t know where Qiao Yun was going afterward.

About an hour after the time that Yu Ting said Qiao Yun had left, the Host called Qiao Yun but it didn’t go through. The Host thought it was just because the phone was powered off and didn’t think much of it.

Something happened during that one hour.

After all these years, the surveillance video had definitely been gone. Ming Shu was thinking how to go check the latest victim when she suddenly got a call from the police.

Now that the cases had been put together for investigation, the families would have to be re-interrogated.

The first questions were the same as they were back then.

“Did your sister show any abnormal behavior during that time, like meeting someone new or something?”

Ming Shu searched the Host’s memories and shook her head.

The Host and Qiao Yun were almost inseparable.

The policeman nodded. “Miss Qiao, please think it over carefully. Maybe one detail will help us a lot.”

This interrogation was just a process. When Ming Shu wanted to ask something, the other side would only say that the case was still under investigation, and they wouldn’t tell her the details.

After the interrogation, Ming Shu was brought out.

Ming Shu met Ertong outside. She pulled him aside and asked, “Where is the office of your special investigation team?”

“Sister, Sister Qi… What do you want to do?”

“Just tell me.”

Ertong: “…” Why do I have such a bad feeling!

But under Ming Shu’s smiling gaze, Ertong had to answer in a low voice, “It’s the third room on the left on the third floor.”

Ming Shu patted Ertong on his thin shoulder like an old leader who came on inspection. “Good lad, you did a great job!”

Ertong: “…”

Sister Qi is acting again.

Do I need to tell this to the boss…
