The whole day Wuxie and team spend searching for clues, taking statements of related people and all. They visited the murder spot again to see for more things that skipped their eyes yesterday.

"Xiao Hua..." Wuxie called him as soon as something strike his mind.

"What is it?"

"See... this is abandoned property and beyond this, there is no other land. This road ends here." Wuxie says as he points to the tarred road which leads inside the park.

"Maybe this is a private road," Pangzi said.

"Yes, that's what I am thinking." Wuxie tuned to Pangzi and give him a thumbs up.

"So what?" Xiao Hua asked grabbing Wuxie's attention.

"What I am saying is, there is a chance that we can get the killer's visual on the CCTV at the junction. At that time only he would have taken this road."

"That's right. This road starts from the junction and nothing is there in between." Pangzi confirmed Wuxie's inference.

It didn't take much effort for them to find a shop with CCTV. They asked the shopkeeper to play the footage.

*sigh

No use.

They couldn't find any such person who took the road. They went to all the shops to collect different footage and went back home.

Kylin's home.

Wuxie got a call from Dr. Yuzhi saying he want to discuss something he found. They agreed to meet at the bar. Wuxie and Xiao Hua were present. Pangzi had gone to report the progress to their chief. Soon Yuzhi and Yuelou joined them.

"So, what is it, doctor? You seem pretty serious." Wuxie asked as soon as he saw the tensed face of Yuzhi.

"What's the profile of the murderer you have currently?" Instead of answering Yuzhi asked a question back.

"A highly skilled professional assassin. Hired one. We saw one but he is dead so, can be an assassin group." Xiao Hua replied.

"Yes. But in the beginning, we have discussed an angle of personal vengeance, right? You guys completely ignored it?" Yuzhi asked all surprised.

"What do you mean?" Wuxie asked. But before Yuzhi could answer Xiao Hua spoke.

"Someone powerful is playing behind us. It's no doubt. It's a cleansing."

"Yes. It's is." Yuzhi agreed to Xiao Hua. "But I suspect not all murders are such kind."

"Why?"

"I found a difference in the wounds," Yuzhi said and glanced over at Yuelou.

Yuelou took out the envelope inside his jacket. He turned it upside down and let the thing inside it fall into his hand. It was the photographs of the victims. Yuelou spread it over the table.

"This is Sam Lin. Your first victim." Yuelou said and put it on the left side near Wuxie. "This is the doctor, the second body we got." Yuelou placed it to the right where Xiao Hua was sitting. "Then this is the recent victim." He placed it towards Wuxie's side.

"Yeah, we know. What's the point?" Wuxie asked impatiently.

"The point is we only got the body of the three. We know someone professional is the killer from the first victim. Then we got the doctor's body. And it made our assumption clear. The same method of operation."
