Chapter 44: Chapter 44 The Devil Should Roll Back to Hell

[Quack Quack Quack!]

Early in the morning, Fang Xiaocao was awakened by a notification sound from her phone.

Groggily, she picked up her phone and glanced at it.

It was a message from WeChat.

Fang Xiaocao unlocked her screen and opened WeChat.

[Hot Noodles: The case in Room 402, Xintiandi Residence, it’s time to close the net today. You need to return to Xintiandi Residence before 10 a.m. today, and you’ll ‘accidentally’ encounter the murderer and Song Lin downstairs.]

Upon reading the message clearly, Fang Xiaocao instantly shot up from the hospital bed with a start, “whoosh” sitting upright.

“Close the net?”

“The bonus!”

Fang Xiaocao was instantly wide awake.

“Who is the murderer?”

“Could it be that Song Lin has already caught him?”

“Is Song Lin that fast?”

Anxiously, Fang Xiaocao sent a message back to ask.

She looked at the time, in the morning: 8:48.

“There’s still time…”

Muttering to herself, Fang Xiaocao began to get dressed.

[Hot Noodles: If he’s been caught, what do you need to do there?]

[Hot Noodles: To bump into the murderer, right?]

Seeing the messages from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao’s face instantly darkened.

“So I can’t get over this gag, huh?”

Rolling her eyes, Fang Xiaocao sent a reply.

[Hot Noodles: That’s right!]

Fang Xiaocao: …

“So annoying～”

“I really want to give myself two big slaps.”

Fang Xiaocao felt an urge to bite someone.

[Hot Noodles: Good brother, get moving. It’s time to pick up the money.]

“I don’t even know who the murderer is!”

Fang Xiaocao replied irritably.

She finished changing her clothes and put on her shoes.

Under the bemused gazes of the clueless trio, Fang Xiaocao grabbed her bag and car keys and dashed out of the hospital ward in a hurry.

[Hot Noodles: I’ll give you a hint when the time comes.]

Upon receiving the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao felt reassured and quickly ran downstairs to the hospital parking lot.

“It’s a good thing I had Zhi Qi’s bodyguard drive my car over last night.”

Muttering to herself, Fang Xiaocao looked for her car.

The red Land Rover was quite conspicuous.

It didn’t take long for Fang Xiaocao to locate her vehicle.

She opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

At this time, it was 9:08 in the morning.

Fang Xiaocao started the car and drove away from the hospital.

The red Land Rover wove through the traffic, heading straight for Xintiandi Residence.

The tail end of the morning rush hour meant the roads were still relatively clear.

Forty minutes later, the red Land Rover smoothly entered the Xintiandi Residence.

At this time, it was 9:48 in the morning!

“I’ve arrived at Xintiandi.”

Fang Xiaocao sent a message to Hot Noodles.

[Hot Noodles: Go straight to the base of the apartment building!]

Seeing the message, Fang Xiaocao nodded.

The red Land Rover headed straight for the apartment building.

Three minutes later!

Fang Xiaocao parked the Land Rover at the base of the building.

As soon as the car was parked, Fang Xiaocao saw Song Lin standing at the entrance of the building, talking to an elderly couple.

The elderly woman was holding a little boy’s hand.

“Huh?”

“That little boy looks kind of familiar…”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself puzzledly.

The little boy, she felt was somewhat familiar.

But for the moment, she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

[Quack quack quack!]

At that moment, a notification sound from her phone rang out. @@novelbin@@

Lost in thought, Fang Xiaocao got a start.

Snapping back to reality, Fang Xiaocao picked up her phone.

The screen displayed a message from WeChat.

Fang Xiaocao unlocked the screen and opened WeChat.

The message was from Hot Noodles!

[Hot Noodles: Pay attention to that little boy, feel like you’ve seen him before?]

“Familiar!”

Fang Xiaocao subconsciously replied with a voice message.

“Just can’t remember where I’ve seen him?”

Fang Xiaocao added with another voice message.

[Hot Noodles: Right, familiar, orphanage, bully, Axi!]

Reading Hot Noodle’s message, Fang Xiaocao was suddenly pulled into her memories.

That year when she was six, she had just moved into the orphanage.

The skinny little her was often bullied by the other children, and one of them, a boy named Axi, left a particularly vivid memory in her mind.

Axi was tall and sturdy, his physique far surpassed children his age, making him the undisputed bully of the place.

All kids in the orphanage, boys or girls alike, Axi would either hit or scold, his actions were ruthless, not like a child at all, but more like a thug, eager to fight and fierce.

Fang Xiaocao, like the other kids, lived in constant fear of Axi’s tyranny.

Only after a year, when Axi, because of his stout appearance, got adopted and left, and no more news came from him, did Fang Xiaocao find her release from that nightmare.

“Could it be… he is Axi’s child?”

Coming to her senses, Fang Xiaocao asked uncertainly.

“That’s not right…”

“Are you joking with me?”

Fang Xiaocao shouted in agitation.

“He looks to be seven or eight years old, right?”

“How could he be Axi’s child?”

Fang Xiaocao fired off question after question, expressing her shock.

[Hot Noodles: He…]

[Hot Noodles: Is the very Axi himself!]

The message from Hot Noodles struck Fang Xiaocao like lightning, and she stared in disbelief at the boy outside the car, who, despite his arrogant expression, was obediently being led by an old woman.

The little boy in her eyes…

Slowly, the figure of the little boy began to overlap with the nightmares of her childhood…

“Is it really him?”

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed.

[Hot Noodles: Yes, it’s him!]

[Hot Noodles: Axi is not a normal child, he’s a dwarfism patient; his real age is already over thirty years old.]

[Hot Noodles: His mind severely distorted by dwarfism, he started venting his unfortunate life by killing his adoptive parents over twenty years ago.]

[Hot Noodles: Over the past twenty years, Axi has been wandering around, alternating between orphanages and his adoptive parents’ homes, committing numerous murders.]

[Hot Noodles: In my world, five years later, after killing another pair of foster parents, he will be recognized by Wang Qiang and killed by him in the struggle.]

Reading the messages about Axi sent by Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao’s blood ran cold, and her body couldn’t stop trembling.

This is a demon!

A devil crawled out from Hell!

[Hot Noodles: The time for past me to take revenge has come, it’s time to bring him to justice.]

[Hot Noodles: Within three days, this elderly couple will die by Axi’s hand.]

[Hot Noodles: If we miss this chance, Axi will escape to the neighboring province, live there for five years, and then commit another crime, killing a family of five who adopted him.]

[Hot Noodles: By then, elite detectives from various regions will be called to form a special case team, and only when multiple cases are linked together will he be recognized by Wang Qiang.]

“Yes!”

“We can’t let him kill again!”

Fang Xiaocao nodded and said in a serious tone.

[Hot Noodles: Go, confront this demon face to face!]

“Demons should be sent back to Hell!”

Fang Xiaocao sent back a message.

“Huuh…”

Fang Xiaocao exhaled a murky breath, put away her phone, and opened the door of the red Range Rover, slowly making her way towards the entrance of the apartment building.
