After a while, HK called back and informed "Shien, you were right. A young man indeed came to look for Kiki's uncle and aunt a few years ago. Not only did he go to jail but he also visited the mental hospital. His name and signature was written on the register. His name is Brian, he was twenty two years old when he visited the prison. His age matches the age of Kiki's uncle's son"

"Did he leave his address?" Sia asked eagerly

"No except for his name and age, he did not leave behind any information. And since his parents were no longer in the prison, the person incharge did not bother collecting his ID or anything that could help us identify him" HK reported

"Damn it" Sia cursed. Rubbing the space between her eyebrows, Sia took a long breath and said "Alright, you can get back"

After hanging up, Sia turned to look at the file. Now was not the time to feel frustrated. Every second was important. She needed to find the killer as early as possible. As Sia continued to look through the first victim's file, one of the victims activity caught her eyes. A few months ago the victim went to city A for a week but it wasn't mentioned for what reason. If she remembered it right, the victims mother said that her daughter was not a fan of travelling so she never went out of this city. Even if she did go out, it was to city F where her boyfriends family leaved and that place was also full of tourist attraction. But the file says the first victim went to city A, for a week. But the reason is not mentioned. Could it be possible, the victim's murder has something to do with this trip?

Picking up her phone, Sia called victim no 1's mother, but the other person did not pick up. Not wanting to waste time waiting, Sia immediately left the office and headed to Victim no 1's house immediately. When she reached the house, Mrs. Xu had just reached her house was about to head inside. Seeing Sia she called out in surprise "Mr. Shien, you are here for?"

"I had something to ask you. I tried calling you but you did not pick up my call" Sia replied indifferently

"I am sorry, I was in the hospital and had to mute my phone to avoid disturbance. I'm sorry I had to make you come here. Why don't you come inside and have a cup of tea Mr. Shien?"

"Thank's for the invitation maam but I don't have time right now. I just wanted to ask you a question"

"Please do Mr. Shien"

"We heard that Ms. Xu travelled to city A a month back but the reason wasn't mentioned. So I would like to know why did she go to city A" Sia asked

Hearing that Mrs. Xu frowned slightly as she thought 'Why is he asking about my daughter's trip instead of finding the culprit who murdered my daughter?'

22:46

Obviously noticing the doubt in Mrs. Xu's eyes, Sia explained unhurriedly "Mrs. Xu, sometimes clues are hhidden in information we tend to ignore so I don't dare to take even a little information lightly. Whether the answere you will be helpful or not I don't know but I want to take the chance. So please tell me why did Ms. Xu go to city A?"

Though Mrs. Xu was doubtful, she still answered honestly "She went there to visit her friend who was sick, unfortunately she passed away soon. After staying there for a week My daughter returned home and after that she never went to city A"

"Other than her friends death, did Ms. Xu say anything else? How was she when she returned? I mean her behaviour, was there any change?" Sia asked eagerly

"No, there was no change in her behaviour but yes, she was sad for a while due to the loss of her good friend. Other than what happened to her she not speak about anything else" Mrs. Xu answered

Not finding any useful clue, Sia was slightly disappointed but she did not give up "Thanks for the information Mrs. Xu, I will be taking my leave now" Bidding her farewell, just as Sia turned around to leave, she noticed the pot of flowering plants that was watered not long ago. Seeing these flowers, Sia commented in passing "Looks like Mrs. Xu likes gardening"

Hearing the question, Mrs. Xu looked at the flowers and faint smile appeared on her face as she answered "Not me, but its my daughter. She likes to do gardening during her leisure time" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoᴠelFɪre.net

"Oh, is that so"

Recalling something, Mrs. Xu exclaimed "Oh! I almost forgot about this. Didn't you ask if there was a change in my daughters behaviour? Yes, ever since she came back from city A, she suddenly had the hobby of raising small plants and she would take care of them whenever she was free"

"Ms. Xu started gardening ever since she returned from city A?" On the way, Mrs. Xu's words kept repeating in Sia's mind as she was riding on her bike. Suddenly a thought in Sia's mind and she suddenly stepped on the break "Flowers, that's it. It must have something to do with flowers. No, I need to immediately visit the crime scene to make sure of this"

After making the decision, Sia immediately headed towards the nearest crime scene. Soon she reached the crime scene where the body of 3rd victim was found. The third victim was found on the street where people hardly passed. The street was eery and quite. The moment Sia walked to the scene, she noticed tall grasses on either side of the street. But after she looked around, she found several flowers growing behind the thick grass. Based on soil structure and plants condition, it seemed that someone had planted them not long ago. Reaching for her cell phone, Sia immediately called HK and asked him "Where are you right now?"

"Me? I'm at XX location, I'm on my way to the station"

"Don't go to the station. Go to the nearest crime scene and help me check if there are any flowering plants planted around the crime scene. Also call the victims family and ask if the victim had the hobby of gardening?"

Though confused, HK still agreed without a word and turned his bike to head to the nearest crime location. After hanging up the phone, Sia called Inspector J and ordered "Immediately call victim no 2 and 4's family and ask if the victim had the hobby of gardening. Also, ask them if the victim has ever been to City A"

"Yes Sir!"
