Chapter 12. Revealing the True Murderer

Two days later, Chen Shi continued to pick up driving orders as per usual. To his passengers, he gave off the impression that he was one of those drivers who just wouldn’t stop nagging you. No matter who was in the car, he could talk to them enthusiastically.

The police visited all the friends around Chen Shi, including his buddies who had been eating together with him on the night of the incident. Of course, they gained nothing from this investigation. These were the same people who immediately called Chen Shi after being approached by the police and told him about everything through WeChat and over the phone.

Meanwhile, Lin Dongxue had asked the coroner to conduct a drug test where it was confirmed that there was ether residue in the body of the deceased. This news was told to Chen Shi.

This morning, Chen Shi was in the middle of talking to a passenger about the economic situation in Southeast Asia when he suddenly received a call from Lin Dongxue.

On the phone, Lin Dongxue sounded excited, “I found it! The deceased had a close girlfriend named Gao Xiaohui. She’s a doctor who currently works in a private hospital.”

“Send the address over.”

“I’ll send it to you using WeChat.”

“Where are you now?”

“Gao Xiaohui is on-call until noon, so she will get off work in about ten minutes. I am going to find her now!”

“Wait a sec!”

“Hurry on over!” Lin Dongxue ordered before she hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Dongxue had a ticket number in her hand as she stood in the lobby of the hospital where people were constantly coming and going. She took a couple of breaths and went up the escalator.

As Gao Xiaohui was a doctor in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Lin Dongxue traveled to that section of the hospital and found where Gao Xiaohui was located, knocked on the door and entered. A woman dressed in an elegant and classy dress wearing a neat bun smiled at her and asked, “Where is it uncomfortable?”

Lin Dongxue presented her ID, “I am a police officer, and I’ve come to clarify a few things.”

Gao Xiaohui raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “So you turned out to be a police officer. You wanted to ask about Gu Mengxing, right? I heard about her death from my circle of friends on WeChat. My heart is finding it very difficult to accept this news. After all, I went to college with her. I can’t believe…”

While she was talking, Gao Xiaohui wiped her eyes with a paper towel, revealing a mournful and sad expression.

Faced with an individual who could be a murderer for the first time, Lin Dongxue was a little nervous, but the side of her that refused to lose told herself that she would definitely be able to arrest the killer.

“Excuse me, when was the last time you met with Gu Mengxing?”

“A few months ago. She asked me if I wanted to go out to eat with her.”

“Then...” Lin Dongxue thought about what to ask next. “What were you doing at the time of the incident?”

Gao Xiaohui’s mouth hung slightly open, “Miss Police Officer, isn’t what you just asked a bit sudden? Surely you aren’t suspecting me, right? I’ve been friends with her for countless years!”
