Chapter 233

~7 min read 1,320 words

The files registered the information of more than 100 orphans. Gu Changzheng asked everyone to filter them by gender and age, and then compare them with the appearance of the girl in the group photo with Zhou Hui. Besides the known Xia Fei, Su Yuqing, and Chen Mengyao, three more girls' files were filtered out.

Lin Xiaoxue, born on July 14, 1989, ancestral home Zizhen City, Nanjiang Province. Her parents passed away in an accident when she was 5 years old, and she was sent to Angel Orphanage by her aunt;

Yu Jiajia, born on December 27, 1993, ancestral home Yiling City, Nanjiang Province. She was abandoned at the hospital when she was born, leaving only a purse embroidered with the character "Yu";

Fang Shengnan, born on November 3, 1988, ancestral home Lantian City, Yubei Province. When she was discovered by the police of the station-front police station at Zizhen Railway Station at the age of 6, she was already starving to death.

The adoption procedure handler column for these three girls all wrote the same name: Zhou Hui!

Similarly, Xia Fei, Su Yuqing, and Chen Mengyao were also adopted through procedures handled by Zhou Hui. Among the six girls, Su Yuqing was the oldest, Yu Jiajia was the youngest, Xia Fei and Chen Mengyao were the same age, followed by Lin Xiaoxue who was one year older than Xia Fei, and Fang Shengnan who was two years older.

Coincidentally, all six girls were adopted by Zhou Hui in the same year—February 5, 1994. On that day, the youngest, Yu Jiajia, was just a full month old!

Gu Changzheng repeatedly looked at the information of the three girls. As for why he chose them from the many files, Gu Changzheng considered it from two aspects: 1. All three girls appeared in that group photo, 2. The three girls were of similar age to the victimized Xia Fei and the others, and they were all quite beautiful!

Looking at that group photo, it seems the six of them had a good relationship and were all very loved by Dean Zhou Hui. The killer must have some kind of relationship with this orphanage and these six girls! What kind of irreconcilable hatred? Made him treat these flower-like girls with such cruel means?

Gu Changzheng thought while continuing to flip through the pile of files in front of him. Suddenly, a file bag that was not sealed at the mouth attracted his attention. There was an obvious mark on the file bag, which could be seen at a glance to be left by wearing gloves, and there were no fingerprints. Just as the edge of that yellowed piece of paper was pulled out, Gu Changzheng's heart had already sunk!

The upper part of that file registration form had been torn off! The photo and basic information were all gone!

Looking at the outside of the file bag, a piece was also torn off! It was very obvious that there was a person's name there before! It seems that the owner of this file is of great importance to this case, and it is very likely the killer himself!

At this time, through DNA testing of the saliva stained on the cigarette butts found at several crime scenes, it was confirmed that the cigarette butts found in the three places belonged to the same person. However, this person had no criminal record, so his owner was not found in the database.

Now the only clue, the files in the orphanage, had been destroyed by the other party! Gu Changzheng squeezed the half-yellowed piece of paper in his hand hard, looking at the autumn rain still drizzling outside the window, a feeling of annoyance couldn't help but well up from the bottom of his heart!

This damn weather! It's really a good time for crime!

———

When Luo Fei woke up, it had been 16 hours since he was attacked. Opening his eyes, the first thing that came into view was a small face twisted into a ball. Su Ruonan, who had guarded him all night, finally put her hanging heart back in place, and she said softly: "Scared me to death! You finally woke up!"

Seeing her tired look and dark circles, Luo Fei, in order not to let her worry, forced himself to cheer up and joke: "What? Afraid that I would just pass away like this, and you wouldn't be able to find someone as excellent as me?"

Seeing that he had the strength to say witty remarks, Su Ruonan couldn't help but burst into laughter, picked up her fist and was about to hit him, but suddenly her eye sockets turned red, and tears flowed down her cheeks! That was the emotion she had endured for a whole night. When she saw Luo Fei covered in blood being carried down from the ambulance, she didn't cry. When Luo Fei was unconscious and lying in the operating room fighting with the God of Death, she didn't cry. At this moment, this strong girl was like a wronged child, and her tears gushed out uncontrollably!

Luo Fei tried his best to raise his hand and stroked her hair gently. He had many sweet words in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't say a single one!

No need to say more, this young couple had already entrusted the rest of their lives to each other.

At this time, Luo Fei suddenly said: "Ruonan, contact Captain Gu immediately, I have important information to report to him!"

After listening to Luo Fei's description of the man in the gray hoodie, Gu Changzheng asked strangely: "He was also wearing a mask on his face?"

After getting Luo Fei's confirmation, Gu Changzheng fell into deep thought. Who exactly is the gray hoodie? He even wondered, were the killers appearing at various crime scenes the same person?

But he was immediately shocked by this incredible thought of his own!

Such a cruel person, such a perverted person, could there be so many in the world?

But no matter what, the most important thing now is to protect the remaining three girls!

This is also a gamble Gu Changzheng is taking. After all, all of this is just a conclusion reached under his deduction.

However, he believed in his judgment. The killer wouldn't shoot without a target. His behavior always has a pattern! And that pattern, in his view, must be following that photo—the group photo of Old Dean Zhou and the six girls!

The investigation materials for the other three girls also quickly appeared on his desk: Lin Xiaoxue, 24 years old, currently working in a large chain supermarket in Zizhen City.

Yu Jiajia, 20 years old, the youngest dancer in the Zizhen City Song and Dance Troupe.

Fang Shengnan, 25 years old, a reporter for Zizhen City Radio and Television Station.

Gu Changzheng looked at the intelligence collected by the detectives. In his heart, the common points of those girls added one more: all of them eventually stayed in Zizhen City.

Who will be the next one?

Gu Changzheng thought silently in his heart. At this time, the phone on his waist suddenly rang.

The phone screen showed an unfamiliar number. After Gu Changzheng connected, a familiar voice came from inside: "Master!"

This was Luo Fei's voice. Since his master Lu Haoxuan was murdered, Luo Fei had always called him Captain.

Gu Changzheng knew he was afraid of causing his own pain.

And today, he called him Master again. Gu Changzheng knew he must have something!

Sure enough, Luo Fei said: "Master! I saw the killer's appearance!"

Gu Changzheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and he blurted out: "Did you see his appearance clearly?"

Luo Fei paused and said: "When I was fighting with him, his hat fell off, but he was still wearing a white mask on his face!"

"I wonder, was he disfigured?"
