Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Wang Qiang Resolves Confusion About Time

Hearing that “Police, freeze,” Fang Xiaocao’s CPU was fried.

“It’s not…”

“The people in 508 are cops?”

“Why are cops in 508?”

“And pretending to be me?”

Fang Xiaocao’s head was filled with question marks.

Regarding the identity of the person in room 508, Fang Xiaocao had all sorts of guesses, but she had never considered that they could be police.

“Damn it, why the cops?”

Fang Xiaocao heard the assassin’s roar of anger.

“Don’t move!”

“Move and I’ll shoot!”

The policewoman who had been impersonating Fang Xiaocao sternly scolded the assassin.

“Only a turtle doesn’t move!”

The assassin cried out, immediately followed by a series of footsteps, obviously, he had moved.

“Pfft~”

Hearing the assassin’s shout, Fang Xiaocao almost laughed out loud.

“This assassin is quite humorous,” she secretly muttered to herself.

“Asshole!”

The policewoman’s curse reached Fang Xiaocao’s ears.

Then came footsteps!

“Eagle’s Nest, Eagle’s Nest, I am Fledgling!”

“The suspect is running down the emergency stairs, start blocking immediately!”

The sound of footsteps along with the policewoman’s voice gradually faded away.

Fang Xiaocao sat back on the bed with a confused look, still not recovered from her CPU overheating.

“This script seems off…”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

The assassin ran away, and the policewoman didn’t shoot.

Fang Xiaocao was not surprised at all by this.

This is a hotel after all, a densely populated place with wooden doors for rooms that are hardly bulletproof.

It made sense for the policewoman not to shoot, concerned about accidental injuries to innocent bystanders.

Avoiding harm to the innocent and ensuring their safety was the top priority.

If she missed the target, the bullet could easily penetrate the door and injure the occupants inside.

If her gun caused injury or death among the innocents, that would be a serious dereliction of duty.

As Fang Xiaocao worked on cooling down her CPU, the screen of her phone suddenly lit up.

Fang Xiaocao was startled and looked at the phone screen.

It was a phone call!

The caller ID showed it was Wang Qiang!

Fang Xiaocao blinked, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.

As the phone connected, Fang Xiaocao whispered, “Hello?”

“Officer Wang?”

“It’s me!”

“Xiaocao, I just got word from my colleague that there’s been an incident in your room 508.”

“They encountered a well-trained professional killer during their stakeout in 508 and a struggle ensued. The killer is now trapped in the hotel but hasn’t been captured.”

Wang Qiang’s deep voice came through the earpiece.

Hearing Wang Qiang’s words, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.

Then, her heart leapt with joy.

Here it comes!

Just as she was wishing for sleep, someone brought her a pillow.

She had been perplexed as to why the police were in room 508, pretending to be her.

Now, the person who could solve her puzzle had appeared.

Fang Xiaocao blinked and immediately asked:

“Officer Wang, why were you guys staking out in 508?”

After speaking, Fang Xiaocao eagerly waited for the answer from Wang Qiang.

“It’s like this!”

“We have confirmed that Han Xue has escaped from the mental hospital.”

“The time you lost your car and room key matches perfectly with the time of Han Xue’s escape. The hotel’s surveillance also captured a figure resembling Han Xue. We suspect that your car and room key may have been stolen by Han Xue.”

“Han Xue’s presence in the hotel is very likely an attempt to strike back at you.”

“So we thought, after realizing she was being hunted, Han Xue would probably do the opposite and hide in the 508 room you were staying in.”

“She could just wait there, like sitting ducks, for you to walk in.”

“She could also use your check-in information to dodge our search.”

“So we sent criminal detectives to stake out room 508.”

“If Han Xue dared to come to room 508, we would be able to catch her in a trap.”

“It’s just that we didn’t expect, instead of Han Xue, a professional killer showed up.”

As the person involved and the guest of room 508, Fang Xiaocao was not kept in the dark about the city bureau’s actions; Wang Qiang answered all of Fang Xiaocao’s questions in detail.

After listening to Wang Qiang’s explanation, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but quietly give a thumbs-up, thinking to herself, “Worthy of being a professional detective, this logical thinking and reasoning ability are incredibly strong.”

You don’t say!

You really don’t say!

This reasoning is flawless.

Knowing Han Xue as Fang Xiaocao did, Han Xue could indeed have done such a thing.

Meanwhile, Fang Xiaocao also keenly grasped a point in Wang Qiang’s words.

That is…

The hotel’s surveillance has captured someone who bears a striking resemblance to Han Xue’s physical characteristics.

Strikingly similar, one could almost be certain that it is Han Xue herself.

After all, real life isn’t a serial drama.

There can’t be that many coincidences.

“Han Xue has been to the hotel already…”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself with narrowed eyes.

That was a clue Fang Xiaocao hadn’t been aware of.

When Tom comes back, she thought, let him hack into the hotel’s surveillance system and copy the surveillance videos from the last few days; there might be unexpected findings.

“Officer Wang, may I ask what your next plan is?”

Fang Xiaocao asked tentatively.

“Our next steps, besides arresting the assassin and interrogating his identity and his employer, involve questioning Su Wanqing.”

“After all, the takeout was ordered for you by Su Wanqing, and the killer was responsible for delivering it; it needs to be investigated.”

Wang Qiang answered from the other end of the phone.

“Do I need to do anything?”

Fang Xiaocao nodded after hearing Wang Qiang’s response and asked.

Wang Qiang’s arrangement was flawless.

Investigating Su Wanqing for suspicion is standard procedure.

“Officer Wang, are there any more clues about Han Xue?”

Fang Xiaocao probed again, asking.

Regarding investigation and pursuit, Wang Qiang’s professionalism was beyond doubt.

And as a criminal detective with the support of the city bureau, Wang Qiang had many advantages and resources for tracking and searching; he would likely have many more leads than her.

“As for Han Xue, there isn’t much news I can disclose to you for now.”

“But it is now certain that Han Xue has accomplices, so be careful. It’s better not to show your face in public for the time being, and if necessary, you can seek protection from the city bureau.”

Wang Qiang replied gravely.

“Okay, I understand.”

“Thank you, Officer Wang!”

Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.

“By the way, where are you right now?”

“Is it safe?”

Wang Qiang asked.

“Me? I’m staying at this hotel.”

“Only I’m not staying in room 508 anymore; I’ve opened another room,”

Fang Xiaocao said cheerfully.

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s response, Wang Qiang on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned, then burst out laughing, “Haha, hiding in plain sight, huh?”

True to being an experienced detective, Wang Qiang saw through Fang Xiaocao’s intentions at a glance.
