You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 176

The woman was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole and bury herself in it.

She had tried her hardest to keep their relationship a secret as she was unable to handle the consequences if it was to be uncovered.

Assistant Leng was shocked, “Ms. Bai, were you with Mr. Gu on the train the whole time?”

Bai Rong kept her head low and didn’t say a word.

“Yes, she was with me.” Gu Mingchen answered on her behalf.

“Are you two dating?” Assistant Leng asked.

Gu Mingchen kept quiet and Bai Rong could no longer stand the pressure.

She explained, “No, we aren’t dating. My best friend works in his military base as a doctor. That’s how I got to know Mr. Gu.”

Gu Mingchen stared coldly at Bai Rong and pursed his lips to express his displeasure.

“Ah, so you aren’t dating! Let’s get back to discussing the case then.” Leng Qiuzun continued, “I had a look, and although it was unclear as to the time that the video was filmed, it was certainly not something possible with technology from twenty-five years ago.”

“That’s true. We’ve managed to identify this person via facial recognition technology. Her name is Wang Donger, currently thirty-five years old. She’s from Caihua Village of Wuli Township in Pingyan City. She had an elder sister, Wang Xiahe, who had left the village for work and had gone missing. They had lost their parents since young and shared a very strong bond with each other. They looked very alike. Wang Donger had even gotten plastic surgery to make herself look more like Wang Xiahe.” Mr. Cheng explained.

“So, Wang Donger is the murderer then. How did she kill those people?” Assistant Leng asked out of curiosity.

“The problem is, she was filming on set during their time of death and a lot of people can testify for her.” Mr. Cheng frowned as he said.

“Wang Donger must be the murderer. If she had an accomplice, she could create an alibi for herself. Let’s arrest her.” Leng Qiuzun said.

“I have another question. We weren’t able to find any communication trails between the deceased, right? But it seems they’ve been on close terms with each other since twenty-five years ago.” Assistant Leng said.

“Computers weren’t that common twenty-five years ago. People mainly used letters for communication. Maybe they used pen names in their letters. We’ve focused too much on the internet and mobile phones and forgot about letters, a more old-fashioned form of communication. These people all lived in A City, so they should still be in touch using a secretive method like this.” Bai Rong deduced.

Gu Mingchen instructed Mr. Cheng, “Head back to the military base and check if Xiong Changan and Xiong Zhiqing have been in contact through letters.”

“Also, the three murderers from twenty-five years ago, Xiong Jinping, Xiong Zhiqing, and Xiong Changan, who are also currently the deceased, all share the same surname, Xiong. Is it possible that their surnames had something to do with them getting to know each other? We could try asking Xiong Jinping’s sister, Xiong Daini.” Bai Rong suggested.

“We can arrest Wang Donger now. Let’s have a chat with her.” Leng Qiuzun got up and walked towards the door.

As Bai Rong stood up after him, her phone rang.

She saw that Gu Mingchen was staring at her and answered without even checking who it was to relieve some of the feelings of guilt she had.

“Bai Rong, Daini says you’ve returned?” Song Xiyu’s voice was heard from the phone.

Bai Rong was stunned for a moment and quickly walked out of the meeting room as she spoke, “Yes.”

She walked towards the garden.

“Don’t meet up with Mingchen, you know you can’t afford to mess with him.” Song Xiyu cut straight to the chase.

“I’ve already met him.” Bai Rong said.
