Chapter 375: Unnatural Revelations

Chapter 375: This Is Completely Unnatural

On one knee, Xiao Yu pressed his ear against Mu Qingwu’s swollen belly, his face lit up with a goofy smile.

Why was he grinning so foolishly?

Because the baby had just given him a little kick with its tiny foot!

Gently stroking his little brother’s jet-black short hair, Mu Qingwu’s beautiful eyes shone with tender warmth.

But then…

Glancing at Xiao Yu’s overly handsome face, a sense of alarm stirred in her heart.

“Little brother,” Mu Qingwu whispered softly.

“Hmm?” Xiao Yu replied.

“Even though you’re rather ordinary-looking…”

Mu Qingwu warned, “I think you’d better stay away from other girls—got it?”

Xiao Yu: (￣□￣)

Ordinary-looking?

Are you referring to me, sis? Are you serious?

“Sigh…”

Mu Qingwu looked at her little brother and feigned a sigh, “How can I even explain something as petty as jealousy?”

“Haha!”

Laughing as he got to his feet, Xiao Yu hugged his sister, “If I ever make you jealous, should I spank myself?”

“Mm.”

Delighted, Mu Qingwu said, “Let’s head home soon!”

She helped her little brother into the car and waved him off.

They happily went home…

Watching the departing car, Xiao Yu let out a soft laugh.

No matter if she’s a queen, a domineering CEO, or a sophisticated beauty,

all it takes is a little coaxing—treat her like a child, and she’ll be all smiles.

Haha, women!

……

In the Criminal Investigation Team’s conference room.

“Jiang Huiying is missing.”

Zhao Changshan looked at Xiao Yu, “To be precise, she may be hiding.”

After Xiao Yu issued orders last night, Zhao Changshan had already contacted the City Bureau.

Citywide, the search for suspect Jiang Huiying was underway.

Later, a national wanted notice was issued online.

“Missing?” Xiao Yu furrowed his brow.

After the villa where Jiang Huiying had been last seen was struck by a prairie wolf attack last night,

he had deduced that Jiang Huiying was the mastermind behind the prairie wolf assault on the two victims.

As for the motive behind the murders,

it was because… Jiang Huiying’s sister was killed 23 years ago!

Just moments ago, forensic examiner He Li had called Xiao Yu.

The remains of an 18-year-old murder victim, salvaged by Zhao Changshan’s team yesterday,

matched via NDA to the missing person record from 23 years ago—Jiang Huiting.

She was the girl abandoned at the reservoir after being brutally assaulted and murdered by four 18-year-old members of the Brotherhood!

All the clues had suddenly fallen into place.

It turned out the orchestration of the prairie wolf attack was an act of vengeance—a sister avenging her little sister!

However…

A trio of doubts suddenly flared in Xiao Yu’s mind.

First, how did Jiang Huiying manage to command a wolf to strike with such precision?

Second, why would she wait over two decades to avenge her sister?

Third, wasn’t there any trace of a woman’s scent in Jiang Huiying’s villa?

He hadn’t had the chance to mull it over last night.

But today,

when all the clues suddenly emerged,

Xiao Yu felt that something about this case was off.

This wasn’t him overcomplicating things out of boredom.

First, the case began with two murder victims being killed by wild wolves.

Then suspect Fang Jie was apprehended, linking back to the 23-year-old case.

Next came the discovery of the couple Gan Yuzhen and Xing Chuyang.

Finally, all eyes were on Jiang Huiying…

Keep in mind, even if the police hadn’t discovered Jiang Huiying’s connection beforehand,

the examination of her sister’s body would have eventually led them to her.

What was Xiao Yu thinking right now?

It was as if a hidden hand in the shadows

had delivered all the clues straight to the police.

Could that be so?

Why would Xiao Yu think that?

First, consider the second wild wolf murder.

If memory serves right,

the police found a size 40 footprint at the scene?

Here’s the catch:

Once Jiang Huiying became a suspect, the police would definitely investigate.

Do you know Jiang Huiying’s height?

She’s 159 cm—barely even 1.6 meters.

Yet a size 40 shoe?

Second issue:

How on earth does a woman train a wild prairie wolf?

Even if the wolf was just a pup when it was purchased,

how could she transform it in just two years into a lethal, well-coordinated killer?

To command a prairie wolf to kill from over two hundred meters away?

Although police investigations revealed that Jiang Huiying had once managed a zoo,

she had never learned the art of beast taming or wild animal training.

That fact is confirmed by everyone who knew her.

And there was another crucial doubt.

Her friends and relatives hadn’t seen Jiang Huiying for a whole year.

Nor had the police found any record of her ID or bank transactions in the past year.

How can one avoid using an ID for an entire year?

······please send flowers·········

Not a single cent moved in her bank or online accounts for a year?

With all these inconsistencies and questions,

do you still think this case is normal?

Xiao Yu’s brows furrowed tightly.

He firmly believed one thing:

What you see isn’t always the truth; the real story remains hidden until the very last moment!

……

In a residential complex in City Z.

Xiao Yu stood in front of a modest apartment door.

The door slowly creaked open to reveal a middle-aged man. “Who are you?”

“Police?”

Xiao Yu flashed his badge and smiled, “Are you Zhuo An, Jiang Huiying’s ex-husband?”

“Huh?”

The middle-aged man looked stunned and nodded, “That’s right. It’s me. What can I do for you?”

“I’d like to ask you a few questions about your ex-wife.”

……………0

Xiao Yu asked, “Is this a good time?”

“Please, come in.”

Zhuo An stepped aside, inviting Xiao Yu into the room.

Xiao Yu glanced around the plain, modest lobby.

“What happened to my ex-wife…?”

Once seated, Zhuo An asked in a puzzled tone.

“It’s nothing, just connected to a case we’re investigating.”

Xiao Yu smiled, “I’m here to ask about the people she used to associate with. Please be honest.”

Their only lead to Jiang Huiying had been reaching out to her ex-husband.

Three days had passed.

Jiang Huiying had vanished as if into thin air.

The last record of her was buying a seaside villa in Bincheng.

Since then, hardly anyone had seen her.

They turned to Zhuo An because after ending her contract at the City Z Zoo,

Jiang Huiying had divorced Zhuo An and moved to Bincheng.

Xiao Yu hoped to find some clues from Zhuo An.

“Who did she associate with?”

Zhuo An shook his head, “Not many; my ex-wife didn’t have many friends. As for anything unusual…”

His expression darkened, a trace of sorrow crossing his eyes, “I still can’t understand why she suddenly divorced me back then!”

Hmm?

Xiao Yu was astonished.

It wasn’t a case of lovelessness—it was a sudden divorce!
