"The perpetrator's identity was already far from ordinary sixteen years ago. If nothing unexpected happened, then by now, his status could only be even higher."
That certainly narrowed things down.
Su Qiao suddenly thought, If Li Jingtai knew the identity of that murderer back then, could he have already made a move?
Could yesterday's victim have been that murderer?
"Could this be why the police came to take him away?"
Thinking of this, Su Qiao hurriedly investigated the identity of yesterday's victim.
"Just the owner of a freight company?"
Although the owner of a freight company was no small fry, it was still unlikely that he could have wielded the kind of unchecked power that man had back then.
Su Qiao followed the clues and investigated further, but she found no one with any significant background in the man's social circle.
The trail had gone cold again.
"If he wasn't the perpetrator from back then, then the person who killed him definitely couldn't have been Li Jingtai."
He had no reason to kill this man.
Besides, he probably wasn't stupid enough to act personally.
Hadn't he dealt with his former neighbors—and with her—in ways that left no trace or evidence?
As her eyes swept over the victim's detailed information, Su Qiao noticed something unexpected.
"This mother and daughter are actually Chinese."

Next, Su Qiao followed the trail of the murdered mother and daughter and began investigating further, but she found nothing.
Ever since their husband and father had disappeared, the two of them had had no other relatives
