Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Axi’s Hobbies

Room 512!

Han Xue put down her phone and looked at Axi.

Axi was also staring unblinkingly at Han Xue.

“How is it?”

“What did your family say?”

Axi asked in a deep voice, his face expressionless.

“My family said the cops have been suspecting our identities and have visited their families several times. Now that our identities have been confirmed, my family has sent people to control their families, temporarily solving the crisis for us.”

“Now, even if the cops are still suspicious of our identities, they have no reason to interrogate us or take any action against us lightly.”

Han Xue pointed at the luggage in the bathroom and said to Axi.

Hearing Han Xue’s words, Axi’s gaze also turned to the black suitcase in the bathroom.

This black suitcase was like a coffin, containing a mother and child they had killed.

“We need to speed things up.”

“We need to take care of Fang Xiaocao before the cops catch on, otherwise, we’ll have to abandon that plan.”

Axi looked at the black suitcase and said in a grave voice.

“No!”

“We must kill Fang Xiaocao!”

Before Axi could finish, Han Xue cried out.

Axi glared at Han Xue and scolded sharply,

“Do you want to get us killed by being so loud?”

On hearing this, Han Xue was startled and quickly shut her mouth, but the indignant expression on her face silently accused Axi, showing her dissatisfaction.

“The bodies in the suitcase won’t last much longer before they start to stink. You know how horrifying the smell of a decaying body is, don’t you?”

“By then, even with the suitcase and the bathroom fan, along with the two doors blocking, the smell will quickly drift into the hallway.”

Seeing Han Xue’s expression, Axi spoke with an ice-cold tone, devoid of any hint of emotion.

Upon hearing this, Han Xue sat on the bed, without a word. After a long while, she finally asked, “How much time do we have left?”

“At most three days!”

Axi responded.

“We’ll leave after three days,”

Han Xue said, standing up.

“Where are you going?”

Seeing Han Xue’s movement, Axi asked.

“I’m going out to scope the place.”

Han Xue replied, grabbing her bag, swaying her hips as she opened the door and walked out with leisurely strides.

Watching her leave, Axi frowned deeply.

“This is an unstable factor.”

Axi took out a gun and, while gently wiping it, muttered to himself,

“If she won’t listen, just kill her.”

Long after, from the guest room plunged into darkness due to the lack of electricity, came Axi’s eerie voice.

Axi took out a phone, turned on the flashlight, and walked into the bathroom with his gun in hand.

Holding up the phone, Axi squatted in front of the black suitcase, reached out, and unzipped it. As the suitcase slowly opened, a bloodied and unrecognizable face under a white plastic bag was exposed to Axi’s view.

Seeing this, Axi’s mouth twisted into a cruel smile.

“What a wonderful corpse, now it’s turned into a nuisance,”

Axi murmured in the dim light of the phone.

After admiring the corpse in the black suitcase for a while, Axi slowly zipped up the suitcase, his gaze locked with the dead eyes of the body that would not close.

Until the last gap in the suitcase was sealed by the zipper’s link.

Axi stood up, and in the dim light of the cellphone, Axi’s reflection in the bathroom mirror gleamed with excitement and a thirst for blood.

Licking his lips, Axi walked out of the bathroom.

He casually picked up a can of beer that Han Xue had brought back, popped it open with a “click,” and took a big gulp as he tipped his head back.

Axi sat on the bed, sipping the beer while rubbing the gun in his hand.

His gaze shifted restlessly, and it was unclear what was on Axi’s mind.

…

Room 507!

“Mm?”

“Han Xue is out!”

The moment Han Xue stepped out of room 512, she was spotted by Fang Xiaocao, who was keeping an eye on the hotel surveillance videos.

Seeing Han Xue appear, excitement sparkled in Fang Xiaocao’s eyes.

Fang Xiaocao immediately switched the phone screen from split-surveillance mode to full screen.

Her beautiful eyes stared intently at Han Xue’s figure on the phone screen.

Only after watching Han Xue enter the elevator did Fang Xiaocao switch to the WeChat page and sent a message to Tom, “Tom, the target has left the room and is now in the elevator.”

After sending the message, Fang Xiaocao quickly switched back to the surveillance video page, focusing the camera inside the elevator.

In the elevator, Han Xue was touching up her makeup.

With a “ding-dong,” the elevator doors opened. Han Xue put away her makeup mirror, put on her sunglasses, and sashayed out of the elevator with a twist of her hips.

[Tom: Received, I’m moving out immediately.]

At that moment, Tom also sent a message.

Fang Xiaocao exited the surveillance page and returned to the WeChat page, replying, “Be careful on your own, don’t act rashly, and prioritize your safety above all else.”

[Tom: Got it!]

Tom replied with a terse acknowledgment.

Fang Xiaocao switched back to the surveillance page again, adjusting the video to the hotel lobby.

Han Xue walked through the hotel lobby, her gaze fixed forward, but Fang Xiaocao saw through the surveillance footage that Han Xue’s head was swaying slightly from side to side as she walked, seemingly searching for something.

Witnessing this, Fang Xiaocao raised an eyebrow.

Fang Xiaocao was certain that under the sunglasses, Han Xue’s eyes were scanning around, searching for something.

“What is Han Xue looking for?”

As she observed Han Xue’s behavior, Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself, speculating about Han Xue’s intentions.

While Fang Xiaocao pondered Han Xue’s intentions, Han Xue had reached the hotel’s main entrance, and Tom’s tall figure also appeared in the lobby’s surveillance camera.

Seeing Tom’s figure, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Tom hadn’t lost track of Han Xue and missed such a good opportunity.

Tom, without giving himself away, nodded at one of the lobby’s surveillance cameras, then sped out of the hotel’s main entrance, ahead of Han Xue.

Fang Xiaocao knew that Tom was trying to create a chance encounter with Han Xue and use it as an opportunity to approach her.

…

Hotel surveillance room!

“Captain Song, the target has left. Should we follow?”

The voice of Officer Xiaoli came from the walkie-talkie on the table.

“Let’s follow!”

Song Lin hesitated for a moment before responding.

The order from Song Lin was a breach of protocol.

Previously, Han Xue and Axi’s identities were in question, and it was reasonable for both Wang Qiang and Song Lin to take action against them.

But now, with confirmation from family members and comparisons from the tech department that ruled out Han Xue and Axi as suspects, Song Lin, despite his suspicions and the lingering doubts about Han Xue and Axi, would be wasting police resources by acting against them without evidence.
