Chapter 520: A Quiet Analysis

Name: Wen Mengyue.

Pen name: Xuan Yue.

Age: 25

Place of birth: Ji City

Occupation: A web novelist who loved to travel around for inspiration.

Wen Mengyue was a web novelist of Wen Quan Book Treasury. Her parents deeply favored sons over daughters and doted on her younger brother, who was in college. Hence, not only did she have to support her parents’ living expenses and take care of her brother’s college school fees, but her parents also tried to exploit her royalties so they could save up the money for her younger brother. She fell out with her family because of that.

From the perspective of Wen Mengyue’s parents, she was earning money by just staying at home every day. It was only natural that she also helps out her younger brother. She knew since young that her parents’ favorite was always her brother. But she didn’t want to start a fight, even though she was very unhappy with that. Consequently, the quarrels between her and her family started to escalate as she could no longer tolerate it. She left home with her laptop and went traveling alone.

By doing so, she hoped she could drive her unhappiness away.

At the same time, she was also avoiding the problem.

However, it wasn’t long before her softheartedness kicked in. She missed her family, and thus, she returned home.

Nevertheless, the problem was never solved. It even took a turn for the worse as the number of times they quarreled increased.

Before Wen Mengyue got abducted, she just made a sum of money by selling the copyright of one of her novels. Originally, she had planned for an overseas trip as a reward for herself. But her parents demanded, then pleaded with her to buy a house for her brother and use that sum of money as a downpayment.

Her parents’ reasoning was that housing prices were rising rapidly and her younger brother would need a house when he got married. They also said that her brother would return her the money after he got out to work.

Wen Mengyue couldn’t accept that. If the sum of money must be used to buy a house, why couldn’t she use her own money to buy a house for herself?

After a major, heated quarrel with her parents, Wen Mengyue received the invitation to the Annual Awards Ceremony at Jin City. In a fit of rage, she left home once again and never contacted her parents then.

That was not the first time that she left home in a fit of anger.

Her parents thought that after she calmed down and enjoyed herself outside, she would return home.

Although she didn’t contact her parents, her parents didn’t contact her as well.

Only her younger brother would talk to her occasionally in WeChat where he chats with her and also ask for some living expenses. She would transfer him the money as well…

And so…

The dreaded identity theft took place.

Nobody knew that Wen Mengyue had disappeared and thus, nobody reported to the police.

If not for the police, her family would not have known she had died.

Due to Wen Mengyue’s occupation, most of her friends were online friends.

The fake Xuan Yue took all of her identification documents. She basically took everything and had successfully assumed her identity.

Perhaps the saddest thing was, her dad cried loudly and scolded her that she had suffered such a fate as she did not listen to them and was not filial to them. After that, he was actually more concerned about the compensation. He said that people in the Capital had money and wanted to know how much he could receive for his daughter’s death. He wanted to talk to the perpetrator that if the amount of compensation was satisfactory, he was willing to help ask for a lighter sentence. He even told them that there were people in his hometown who did exactly that and received a huge amount of compensation…

“…”

All the information was shown before everyone.

The conference room was very quiet.

The screen showed Wen Mengyue’s identification card…

When Xiang Wan saw the girl with a fuzzy expression, she suddenly felt like crying a little.

As a web novelist herself, she could understand the hardships and difficulties that other web novelists in the industry face. Many people had the impression that web novelists could make money by sitting at home, only web novelists themselves knew how ridiculous that thinking was. She felt her heart going out for Wen Mengyue as till death, her family had neither loved nor understood her at all…

However, for such private matters, one had to be close enough to Wen Mengyue in order to know about all these.

Why did the fake Xuan Yue choose Wen Mengyue as her target?

Maybe the fake Xuan Yue knew about her situation, or maybe she found out about her situation through other means.

Either way, the taking over of Weng Mengyue’s identity was definitely carefully planned out by the Dark Clan.

Otherwise, how could the fake Xuan Yue be so bold as to pass herself off as someone else!?

While the meeting was ongoing, Xiang Wan kept quiet and listened. She would occasionally note down her thoughts in her notebook.

Now it was Mei Xin’s turn, who was representing Captain Cheng, to present the findings from the Forensic Team.

“After the remains were pieced together, we extracted a hallucinogenic drug from the contents of her stomach. That means Feng Kui has told the truth that when the deceased was sold to his family, she was already in a dazed state. The possibility of her being controlled by the drug back then was very high.”

Mei Xin gave a short pause as she went through some data she was holding. “Of course, there’s also another possibility. We found a lot of traces of the deceased being tortured and sexually abused. There are some traces which we did a calculation, should have happened before she came to the Feng Family… That means she could have suffered some shock and became in a dazed state.

“In either case, the deceased was treated with extreme cruelty.”

“The oldest traces could have been inflicted by her kidnapper in order to force her to hand over all of her account passwords. Her subsequent wounds and traces should be inflicted by Feng Min.”

Mei Xin flipped to another page of her date and continued. “There’s one more thing. Large amounts of methcathinone were found in Wang Xinggui’s body, the perpetrator of the fifth ‘zombie’ case. This finding is in line with all the perpetrators in the previous cases…”

…

Xiang Wan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she listened.

The first four cases were somehow linked to the doomsday movie which was showing then.

Because of that, the movie ‘Before Doomsday’ got banned by the authorities.

In the fifth ‘zombie’ case, Feng Min’s cause of death was not due to the carotid artery being bitten by his wife. Wang Xinggui had never watched the doomsday movie either. She had never heard of the name of the movie as well…

Besides, just one look was enough to tell that the Feng Family was poor.

How in the world would Wang Xinggui have drugs like methcathinone with her?

What was the relationship between an ordinary woman like her and the Dark Clan’s Operation Heaven’s Wrath?

…

While the respective personnel was discussing their findings and viewpoints, Xiang Wan was listing down the issues and relations between the people in the case.

After that, she used her pen to circle a name.

Feng Min.

This was a critical person.

He used to be one of the teaching instructors of that special school.

And he had the habit of abusing his students back then…

He had gone to jail before and actually had the connections to be able to “buy” a girl home. This was enough to prove that he had connections with those people…

But Feng Min was already dead. Those who mentioned Feng Min during the meeting did not focus on his past as well.

Bai Muchuan did not say anything either.

After the various representatives had finished reporting their findings, he did a summary of the case based on what was shared earlier. Next, Vice Commissioner Liu from Narcotics shared with them their progress and findings for the past few days.

“As of today, we tried to combat the drugs from their sources. To date, we have cracked down on more than 500 drug-related crimes nationwide…”

Xiang Wan listened attentively.

Regarding drug control, it had little to do with case analysis.

Her mind started to wander off when she suddenly saw Tang Yuanchu entering the conference room in a hurry.

He walked over to Bai Muchuan and spoke in a soft tone. “Captain Bai…”

Bai Muchuan lifted his hand to indicate that he could continue.

Tang Yuanchu looked around at everyone. “Our colleagues at the hospital just informed us that the operation was a success. The fake Xuan Yue survived the gunshot. However, she is not out of danger yet. The doctor said that when the bullet entered the head, although it had avoided the vital points of the nerves, the sniper gun was too powerful for her. Even though she might have survived. There is no guarantee that she would be clear-headed. There’s also a possibility that she might lose her memories…”
