The detective and the agent came back to the PD after collected the phone call report made by Joyce Lin. The company gave them the whole month report instead of for the last 5 days. They started to learn the report in their office.

"Hi. Mom!" Wang Yibo voiced out, snapped Xiao Zhan from his focus on the report. He looked at the direction of the detective.

"..."

"I told you already I will be back late! I don't have time to view all those women and I don't want to! Just bring back all those pictures to Luoyang already. I don't need them!" the detective looked unhappy. His face was frowning.

"..."

"Aigoo, Mom...! I have a big case here! I can't tolerate the shit like that! if I want to marry a girl, I can find one that I like in Beijing. no need you to matchmake me, play as a cupid. That won't work on me, Mom!"

"..."

"Mom! Stop whining! I can't talk to you now. Bye!"

Wang Yibo cut the call and placed his cellphone on the table beside him. Then he glanced at the agent. He found the agent was staring at him from across the room.

"You need to get married soon..." the agent mumbled. Then he turned his attention on the report again.

"I'm still too young. And my job doesn't require me to think about marriage yet...!" replied Wang Yibo. "Then? Why don't you? You're already 28 and still single!' asked Wang Yibo.

"No one forced me to get married..." the agent answered without leaving his work from his eyes.

"How if there is? I mean... Someone who matchmaking you like my Mom did?' asked the detective again.f

"Maybe I will marry her if fit with my taste," replied the agent again.

The detective puckered his lips. Then he back to his job while grumbling, "So selfish! Here, I decline all the girls my Mom offers me because I love you. But you still want to think about it..!"

The agent glanced at him then he snorted and shook his head.

"Hey! Look!" cried Xiao Zhan.

The detective lifted his head and looked at the agent. The agent walked to his table with the looong report paper. He crouched down beside Wang Yibo and showed him the report.

"This number is calling Joyce's number since last month. Exactly 3 weeks before Old Tan's been killed. This number keeps calling her frequently, about 3 to 4 times a week. And the last 5 days was everyday...!" said Xiao Zhan.

"Hmm... Look at the time also! The last time, this number called her at 11.50 PM. And before he called her at... 9 PM. That means, when this person called her, she was in her child's room as she described in interrogation. If they talked about bringing the old Tan out, this proved that they had arranged the plot to kill the old Tan...! So, after the kid slept, she waited for the time agreed by them to bring old Tan out and met in a specific place. Then, when the time comes, she called this person again at 10.35 PM and told this person that she has brought the old Tan out. Then they met. There was no struggle or argument from the Old Tan, since he knew this person very well and trusted him. Then these two bastards brought him to walk in the rain at night time to the reservoir and brought him to the forest. From there the old Tan started to struggle for life and cried for help by switching the bell trigger so hard until the trigger came off and dropped somewhere in the forest and the two culprits didn't notice it...!' the detective stopped rant and looked at the agent.

'Correct!" said Xiao Zhan. 'From the smudged footprints and shoeprint, I'm sure the old Tan was trying to escape. But since he was too weak and old, the killer grabbed him back and dragged him further to the forest. He hurt him on the neck to scared him. But Old Tan was terrified. And the killer didn't want him to spill the bean if he let him alive. So, out of fear, and must be rage, he stabbed the old Tan repeatedly on his chest and stomach for 8 times...!'
