Chapter 528 4
"Mrs. Xu, could you tell me What exactly happened that day?" HK asked
Recalling what exactly happened that day, Mrs. Xu started to narrate "That day, my daughter left for work as usual. Initially she would return home by nine or ten in evening. But that day, even after eleven she did not return home. Her father and I were very worried and we tried calling her but she did not pick up. Even if she had to work overtime, or any other reason causing her delay, she would definitely inform us. But that day neither did she inform us nor did she pick our call. We called all her friends but she wasn't with any of her friends either. Then, we had to ask our son to visit their company but there he was informed that my daughter had left the office on time. He even showed her logged out time. We looked for her everywhere but we did not find her anywhere. The next day we lodged a complaint to the police officer but they too couldn't find my daughter. At last, one day later she was found…d-dead. My daughter died very h-horribly"
"Mrs. Xu, please control yourself. I am sorry to make you the painful memories again but we are the newly appointed officer so we would like to have a better understanding to solve this case. That's why…. So I hope you can remain strong and answer us"
Hearing that Mrs. Xu tried her best to remain calm. "Mrs. Xu, could you please tell me if your daughter had any enemies? Or did she ever have conflict with anyone? Doesn't matter if its small or big" "No, My daughter had never faced such things. She always got along well with people and she never fought with anyone. She always minded her own business" "What about your husband? Or son? Did they have any enemies outside?" "No, not at all. My Husband is the same as my daughter. My son studied in boarding school which was strictly controlled so he never had the chance to fight even if he wanted to" "Then…." HK asked a lot of question to which Mrs. Xu answered honestly. Sitting at the side, Sia listened to Mrs. Xu's answer quietly. It was only at the end that Sia finally asked the questions she had in her mind "Mrs. Xu, has your daughter ever been to a gynecologist? For any treatment or such?"
"No, my daughter has always been healthy so she never had the necessity to visit the gynecologist"
"Okay. Then does your daughter have a boyfriend?" Sia asked
"Yes, she does. He works in the same company as my daughter"
"How long have they been in a relationship?"
"For almost seven years. The two knew each other since college and have liked each other since then"
"Since they both work in the same company, did he always pick and drop her home?" "No, he wouldn't pick and drop her everyday since my daughter did not want to trouble him. But whenever my daughter works late, he always waits for her and drops her home. He is a good man"
"What is considered late according to your daughter boyfriend?" "Well, my daughters work ends before seven. When her work ends before seven, she will come back on her own. But if she has to work beyond that, her boyfriend waits for her until her work is done, and then he will personally drop her home"
"According to what you said earlier, your daughter ended her work at nine before she went missing. Why wasn't he the one dropping her that day?"
"Well, that's because he was on a business trip for a week so he was unable to pick her up. If he was there my daughter would definitely not have ended up in such a situation"
"I last question. Has your daughter or her boyfriend, or any of your family member cheated anyone? Especially when it comes to relationship. I hope Mrs. Xu can be honest because the answer you give us will be very helpful to us"
Though Mrs. Xu felt a little offended she still replied honestly "No officer, such thing has never happened in our family. My husband and I have been loving and loyal to each other. My daughter and her boyfriend are the same, they love each other extremely deeply. On the other hand My son has never been in a relationship"
"Alright go it. Mrs. Xu, please give us your daughters boyfriends home address, there are some things we need to ask him"
After receiving the mans number and address, Sia and HK left the house. Once outside, Sia immediately ordered for a thorough investigation of the man while she and HK made their way to his house. When Sia and HK reached the young man's house, they were greeted by an extremely haggard looking young man. When they entered his house, they saw neatly arranged empty alcohol bottle at the corner. Based on the way he kept his house and things, we could say that the man liked to keep things neat and tidy except for himself. "Mr. Huo, we heard that you haven't been to work for a month now"
"I have taken long leave"
Looking at the young man's current situation, Sia and HK could not help but sigh. This man looked like he was deeply hurt by his girlfriends demise. "Mr. Huo, can you tell us when was the last time you spoke to her?"
"On the day she spent missing. After she finished her work and left the office, we spoke for fifteen minutes but we had to hang up as I still had work to do"
"How did you girlfriend sound when she spoke?"
"Joyous as always, but she seemed a little tired"
"Did you ask her?"
"I Did, but she said it was work stress and nothing much"
"When did you learn that she went missing?"
"The next day. Her brother called me to inform"
"Mr. Huo, has Ms. Xu ever told you about any suspicious person? Or has she ever complained about anyone?"
"No, she would complain but it would be about random things like work, how price of vegetables increase or how the subway was crowded. She was the type of person who wouldn't take unimportant people too seriously. So she rarely complained about people"
"Since you work in the same company as hers, have you ever seen any suspicious person or found anything strange happening to your girlfriend?"
"No, there was no such thing"
"Alright"
"Have you or your girlfriend ever cheated on each other?" Sia suddenly asked, startling Mr. Huo as well as HK which Sia noticed to. She asked suddenly because she wanted to catch them off guard. When she asked the question, she was observing Mr. Huo seriously but she only saw a momentary shock for being questioned out of blue but there was no other suspicious reaction. After realizing the question, Mr. Huo looked at Sia and suddenly spoke "My girlfriend and I have once promised to each other that if one day if both of us or either one of us no longer have feelings for each other or if we end up liking someone else, we will breakup. So there was no possibility of cheating in our relationship"
"Alright got it"
