When Su Xuan arrived in the room, he had already thoroughly examined the surroundings. Simultaneously, his radar quickly covered the entire villa. Under his detection, the villa displayed a clean and transparent blue system, with one exception—the children’s room.

Su Xuan wasn’t one to hide or withhold information. If he sensed something was amiss, he wouldn’t hesitate to investigate. He promptly approached the children’s room and swung the door open with a brisk motion.

Inside, he was met with a pair of startled eyes. Su Xuan was taken aback. Wait, there’s someone here?

Maintaining his posture with the door ajar, Su Xuan stared inside for a while, his eyes filled with surprise. The children’s room was beautifully decorated, complete with a half-meter-tall Iron Man model in the corner, indicating how much the couple had adored their child.

However, the Iron Man model in the children’s room had been opened, and the little guy, sweating profusely, had just removed the helmet to reveal a fluffy head. He certainly hadn’t expected someone to suddenly open his bedroom door.

Staring with wide eyes, he looked at Su Xuan. When he saw the police uniform, he gradually calmed down. Instead of causing a fuss, he cautiously asked, “Are you a policeman, mister? Can you tell me where my mommy and daddy went? They seem to be missing.”

The child’s eyes were filled with anxiety and fear, mixed with a glimmer of hope. As Su Xuan maintained his door-opening posture, every muscle in his body tensed upon seeing the child.

Hearing the child’s words, Su Xuan softened his approach. He walked cautiously towards the child and spoke gently, “Don’t be afraid, little one. Uncle is a police officer. Your mom and dad aren’t here right now.”

He paused for a moment, estimating that the child was around four or five years old. Su Xuan didn’t want to speak too directly, at least not yet. With a reassuring tone, he continued, “Tell Uncle, how did you end up here? Can you come out? Do you need Uncle’s help?”

As he spoke, Su Xuan extended his hand slowly towards the child. He approached delicately, making only a small step. After all, the child was very young.

However, even though the child saw Su Xuan in a police uniform, he couldn’t forget the screams of his parents from that night. He didn’t know what had happened to them. His mother had told him that if anything happened at home, he should hide inside the doll and not come out until she came to get him.

Little Zhouzhou didn’t understand why his mother had said that, but he believed her. So, that night when his parents screamed downstairs and strange sounds echoed, he stayed hidden inside the doll for a long time.

But, he got too hungry. Zhouzhou wasn’t obedient; he crawled out of the doll, took a tiny bit of food, and then went back inside. Why wasn’t his mother coming? Zhouzhou thought and thought, and he got hungry again. He crawled out of the doll once more, wanting more to eat.

It seemed like many people had come into the house, walking around. Zhouzhou didn’t dare say a word while inside the doll, but he was eventually discovered. What should he do? Where was his mother?

Zhou Qiang and his team had been investigating the surroundings for quite some time when they suddenly realized that Su Xuan had been missing for a good part of the day. They quickly began searching for him. Downstairs, Officer Yu and his team heard the commotion from upstairs and rolled their eyes in exasperation.

Officer Yu couldn’t help but think that those officers from the local police station were unreliable. If they had taken charge of the case, it would have been solved by now. Yet, these guys were feeling self-assured, thinking they could handle it, and now it had been nearly half a day with no leads. Didn’t they understand that time was money?

However, Officer Yu took a deep breath when he found a lead in his investigation. If those officers from the local police station didn’t come to him asking for information, he’d be surprised. On one side, Officer Yu found a lead and discreetly reported back to the Criminal Investigation Division. On the other side, Zhou Qiang and his team finally found Su Xuan.

Then, they were left dumbfounded as they saw Su Xuan holding a child of about four or five years old.The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

“Su Xuan… Where did you get this child?” Zhou Qiang, who had worked with Su Xuan for a longer time, was bolder in his thinking.

“I remember this… I remember that the deceased couple seemed to have a child,” he said, stopping himself from saying ‘the dead.’ He had noticed the glare Su Xuan gave him when he was about to mention the deceased. Zhou Qiang looked at the child in Su Xuan’s arms and quickly corrected himself. “Yes, it’s him. This child has been hiding inside a half-meter-tall Iron Man model. We didn’t notice him before.”

Su Xuan nodded in agreement. On the day of the incident, they received an emergency call and rushed to the scene along with the ambulance service. Upon arrival, they realized that something unusual was going on. The male and female homeowners were almost dead at the scene, and the police didn’t waste any time; they immediately had the ambulance take them away. However, not all the officers went to the hospital; some stayed behind to investigate.

Back then, they hadn’t noticed this little guy. It seemed he was hidden quite well. Thinking about this, Zhou Qiang glanced at Su Xuan. After all these years working together, he had a good understanding of Su Xuan’s thought process. Could it be that Su Xuan hoped the child might know something?

Feeling Zhou Qiang’s gaze, Su Xuan had no intention of arguing. He brought the child out precisely for this reason. Whether he was heartless or not, he needed to record a statement from this child, who had lost both parents. The care and concern now would save him from future suffering. The primary focus now was finding the killer of this child’s parents. The child’s emotional well-being came second.

The team exchanged glances and agreed with Su Xuan’s approach.

“Let’s head downstairs,” Su Xuan finally said. “Have you found any clues?”

While walking downstairs, he asked about the progress. After all, Zhou Qiang and the others were experienced police officers, and they had indeed found something in the study.

“We discovered surveillance footage on the study computer,” Zhou Qiang explained. “The surveillance camera was cleverly disguised as a pinhole camera attached to a lamp. It was well-hidden and difficult to notice, especially with the lamp blocking it. Normal people wouldn’t think to look at the lamp, but when it shone down, the image became clear.”

It seemed like one of the homeowners had installed it. Unfortunately, the footage from that night showed the suspect wearing a mask and a black overcoat, with their body wrapped up tightly, making it impossible to identify their face or body shape..
