Chapter 140: Doubtful Points! Missing or killed?

“What’s the meaning of all this?”

When Su Xuan spoke, the entire Volkswagen car fell silent. Tian Yuan couldn’t believe his ears and turned to look not far away. The landlady had already disposed of the garbage and was heading back inside.

He glanced over at the pile of garbage bags, but that didn’t mean Tian Yuan was unimpressed. He opened his mouth to speak, as someone in the criminal investigation department, he wasn’t a fool. He just found it hard to believe.

“Are you saying that this landlady is the descendant of that sister you mentioned?”

“Are you trying to tell me that such a coincidence exists in this world?”

“Don’t joke…”

The people from their criminal investigation department had been following Tang Jiajia closely. They knew very well that it took them quite a few trips with real estate agents to secure such an affordable and good property.

“Besides, when Tang Jiajia rented this place, we were monitoring her, so she shouldn’t have known about it from the beginning…”

Before Tian Yuan could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped. He recalled something.

“Wait a minute, are you saying…?”

“She’s still in contact with Yue Fan now?”

“And this apartment might have been arranged by Yue Fan?”

Tian Yuan’s words were filled with disbelief. Su Xuan simply waved his hand.

“I only know that there’s a connection between them. As for the details…”

“You’ll need to investigate that yourselves.”

“I believe it’s a small matter for Officer Tian to handle.”

“After all, even someone like me from a rural police station was able to find out. I’m sure Officer Tian can quickly establish a connection…”

As Su Xuan spoke, he smiled and looked at Tian Yuan. The latter’s mouth twitched involuntarily. He had no idea how Su Xuan knew all this.

Ask him to investigate?

Investigate what?

“Officer Su, I apologize for my earlier offense,” Tian Yuan began. “Can you be sure that what you’ve said is accurate? If it is, then we may need to reevaluate Yue Fan’s identity. There must be some kind of connection between him and Tang Jiajia!”

The police officers themselves had already found it surprising that there might be a connection between Tang Jiajia and Yue Fan. After all, one was the former boyfriend of the sister, and the other was the sister of the former girlfriend, with a missing person in between.

“I found this information from the files you provided,” Su Xuan assured confidently. He had spent an entire night piecing together the information. While their identities were somewhat secretive, they were still traceable with careful investigation.

He had no reason to be doubtful.

“Perhaps it’s best to give a call to your colleagues investigating in Hunan Province,” Su Xuan continued. “They should thoroughly investigate Tang Jiajia’s sister, whether she’s truly missing or…”

He emphasized the importance of the missing person aspect, causing Tian Yuan to suddenly raise his head. Although he didn’t want to admit it, Su Xuan had hit the nail on the head.

Tang Xin had been missing for a whole three years. At the time of her disappearance, it was from her own home. There were no signs of forced entry, and all doors and windows were securely closed, a typical case of an inexplicable disappearance.

“It’s been too long, and even if we want to find her now, it may be impossible. Back then, the disappearance case created a lot of buzz online, with all sorts of theories, but finding the missing person was still impossible.”

“I’ll have them pay attention,” Tian Yuan said, his expression turning serious. “If it’s indeed a murder case, after three years, it may not be so easy to find answers.”

As Su Xuan had mentioned, a missing person case and a murder case were two different things.

He nodded, pointing to the relationship chart he had drawn to emphasize his point.

“Before we move forward, we should investigate this landlady,” Su Xuan reminded them.

In police work, when someone was suspected, conducting an investigation was a straightforward process. Even if there was a hidden connection between Yue Fan and the landlady, it would eventually come to light during the police investigation.

Seeing the connection between Yue Fan and the landlady, Tian Yuan gained newfound respect for Su Xuan. He regretted his earlier dismissive attitude.

Su Xuan’s sharp observations and attention to detail had proven invaluable, and Tian Yuan felt admiration for his colleague. He had initially doubted Su Xuan’s suitability as a criminal investigator, but he now realized he was wrong. “Su Xuan, how did you find out about the relationship between Yue Fan and the landlady?” Tian Yuan asked. “Even with your guidance, it took us a while to uncover this.”

“You figured this out in a single night, that’s quite impressive. We’re already planning to summon Yue Fan and the landlady.”

Tian Yuan had become an ardent admirer of Su Xuan ever since he learned about the connection between Yue Fan and the landlady. He followed Su Xuan around every day, like his side kick.

“Generations before us giving away children to other elder relatives in the family, and this tradition continues in older generations. As you go up the family tree, it becomes more pronounced. I just felt something was amiss and decided to investigate,” Su Xuan explained. “Through careful examination, 1 uncovered this lead.”

He didn’t delve into the intricacies of police work, as each officer had their strengths and approaches. Su Xuan simply asked, “Have the surveillance personnel reported back yet?”

Tian Yuan initially thought Su Xuan was referring to Tang Jiajia and sighed in response.

“No, whether it’s day or night, Tang Jiajia shows no intention of leaving her residence. On the other hand, I occasionally see the landlady come by to dispose of trash,” Tian Yuan explained. “1 thought Tang Jiajia might not resist the temptation to commit theft again. If she stole even one item, we could bring her in for questioning. After all, she has a history of theft.”

However, what they didn’t anticipate was Tang Jiajia’s patience. She seemed determined to wait out the entire month before fleeing Xiangcheng City.

“Where did she get so much money?” Su Xuan asked, but he was actually more concerned about Yue Fan.

Tian Yuan, upon hearing this question, felt that something was off.

That day, after Su Xuan apprehended Tang Jiajia, her identity as a thief was exposed.

The stolen money found in her suitcase and on her person was thoroughly examined and confiscated. When she left, Tang Jiajia had only a few thousand dollars left, all of which were her own.

The fact that she still had this money after renting the apartment left Tianyuan puzzled and concerned.

“What about that money…” he began, but Su Xuan interrupted.

“It was given to her by Yue Fan..”
