The next day.
The reporter Zhong Xueran had rested for less than five hours before hurrying to the Fu City Police Station. She had spoken with Criminal Police Captain Bai Yang yesterday, and had come to retrieve her camera and photographs.
She had to submit her article before noon, so of course she needed to hurry.
But as soon as she arrived at the Police Station, she heard some bad news.
"Captain Yang? Oh... Captain Yang isn't here. He went out last night and hasn't come back."
Xia Nan yawned as he spoke to Zhong Xueran, his eyes bleary with sleep.
He was the one who had genuinely barely slept all night.
Last night, after Bai Yang left the Police Station, the police had received an order passed down directly from the higher-ups-
Proceed immediately to No. 56, Central District, and establish the exact residence of a man named Shen Hai. A faceless corpse would appear in his home that night.
Although the news sounded utterly preposterous, rank had its privileges. Even if none of them believed it, they still had to mobilize.
To the veteran detectives, there was only one explanation for predicting a crime in such detail: the person making the prediction was involved, and might even be the killer.
The disgruntled veteran detectives tapped a few contacts, wanting to know where the higher-ups had obtained this information.
But the answer they received left them somewhat annoyed...
"It's that woman we arrested this morning, the one spreading rumors online!"
At that, they immediately backed down. After all their years on the force, who didn't have a couple of friends in forensics?
The largest group of supporters of that so-called "rumormonger" was none other than forensic doctors.
The veteran detectives had also heard a few things, more or less.
