Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As for the second murder, Mu Shaobai was coincidentally away on a business trip to Europe. His claim was supported by the departure and arrival records from the airport in addition to the eyewitnesses over in Europe that could prove he was telling the truth.

Due to the alibi of his absence alongside the concrete evidence, the police could only detain Mu Shaobai but not place him on file for investigation.

The detainment period could last no longer than twenty days. Besides, Mu Shaobai was a person of distinguished background and his lawyer insisted that the former was being framed. The police had no other alternative than to release Mu Shaobai as they failed to unearth more convincing proof. However, just six months after that, two more girls were murdered using the exact same method.

Therefore, the police had once again “invited” Mu Shaobai back to the station. This time around, Mu Shaobai also had another good alibi for his absence. In addition, the police failed to discover any evidence from the victims that could link back to Mu Shaobai.

However, Fifth Young Master Shen’s experience and instinct guaranteed him that Mu Shaobai was definitely related to these harrowing incidents.

Even though the police could not gather sufficient evidence!

Fifth Young Master Shen began to panic because time was running out before they had to release the detainee again. He feared that more victims would lose their lives once they freed Mu Shaobai, hence he had no choice but to seek assistance from Big Brother because everyone knew the latter was connected to a wide range of capable people.

It was completely out of his expectation that Big Brother would recommend a woman like that!

Fifth Young Master Shen shook his head in dismay as he looked at the woman’s back.

Big Brother was always a dependable man but his decision this time seemed unreliable.

“What is your favorite color, Mr. Mu?” Chu Wuyou’s voice from the interrogation room interrupted Fifth Young Master Shen’s train of thought.

Fifth Young Master Shen was delighted at first when the woman finally posed a question. However, his face fell immediately once he registered the words he heard.

What the f*ck? Was this the appropriate time for a question as such?

“White.” The puzzling question also caught Mu Shaobai by surprise but he answered nonetheless.

“Good choice. The color white represents purity.” Chu Wuyou nodded seriously. “If so, Mrs. Mu must be a quiet, beautiful, and gentle woman.”

“I don’t have a wife.” Mu Shaobai revealed a slight surprise in his eyes but soon his eyes glittered with defiance.

On the other hand, Fifth Young Master Shen’s face darkened visibly. The fact that she had requested an interrogation upon arrival gave him the idea that she was fully familiar with the case. However, from the looks of things now, it seemed like she had not studied the case properly.

Mu Shaobai was a forty-five-year-old bachelor. He did not have a wife!

Besides, Mu Shaobai’s homosexual orientation was not exactly a concealed secret in Jin City.

“Eh? Mr. Mu isn’t married yet? What kind of woman do you like then, if I may ask?” Chu Wuyou sounded nonchalant but her sharp gaze was determined.

As opposed to Fifth Young Master Shen’s assumption, Chu Wuyou had studied the case thoroughly beforehand and was familiarized with every detail of the case. She learned from the files provided that Mu Shaobai liked men and was not married. However, the information she acquired from probing earlier revealed that Mu Shaobai was unquestionably interested in women.

On the other side of the interrogation room, Fifth Young Master Shen felt like slapping himself in the face upon hearing the woman’s questions. Why would Big Brother send over someone like this? He would not have allowed the woman to enter the interrogation room if he had known earlier.

Anyway, the only silver lining from the whole situation was that the delay was in favor of Third Elder Brother’s request. He reckoned it was about time the latter would arrive.

Indeed, Ye Lanchen had already arrived at the building…
