"By the way, what natural disasters are common around Xiyuan?"
As Fu Qian handed the directory back to Captain Qiao, he asked as if it were just a casual question.
"How could there be?"
Captain Qiao was clearly puzzled by Fu Qian's question.
"Xiyuan City may be small, but it's been around for hundreds of years and has always been known as a resort town. It rarely has any natural disasters, or even bad weather."
"If I had to name anything related to natural disasters, there's a volcano about ten kilometers from the city, but it's never erupted in all the time records have been kept."
Could a dormant volcano erupt again? That would certainly count as a disaster.
Still, Fu Qian had a feeling it wasn't that simple.
As he was thinking it over, someone came in from outside. It was Lu Jun, back with his colleague.
"How did it go?"
Captain Qiao had clearly been holding that question in for a while. He hurriedly asked.
"So far, nothing seems amiss."
Lu Jun shook his head.
"The victim's husband is named Lu Xing. He's a local, and he and the victim were childhood sweethearts. They've been married for just two years, and their relationship has always been good. He was at home when it happened.
"Most importantly, he's an ordinary person."
"A good relationship?"
Fu Qian looked at Lu Jun with a strange expression.
"That's right..."
"Did he know about the lunch?"
"...No."
Fu Qian sighed and abruptly stood up, to everyone's shock.
"Let's go take a look."
"Look at what?"
Lu Jun clearly didn't understand what Fu Qian meant.
"A husband whose wife was killed, yet you couldn't find anything suspicious about him. Suddenly, I'm curious about him... Take me to see him."
