Because the one who called her was none other than Wu Jin.
' Why is he calling me?' Song Yan thought in her head before she answered the call, " Is something the matter commissioner Wu?"
Song Yan never expected Wu Jin to call her after what happened to Wu Genji which was why she was a bit stunned.
" You don't have to be so prickly sister-in-law," though Wu Jin tried to make light of his situation, Song Yan could hear the exhaustion in his voice and thus could not help but ask, "What the matter?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Things haven't been going all right for the past few days, Sister-in-law," replied Wu Jin with a sigh as he started telling Song Yan about how there was a sudden rise in the kidnapping of young men and women. " Just yesterday three siblings vanished from the eldest around eighteen to the youngest six-year-old, all three of them vanished as if they never existed. We tried to trace their car but never found anything."
Song Yan frowned after hearing the information and then asked, " But why are you calling me?"
Wu Jin knew that she was asking him the purpose of his call, thus he sighed and then calmly said, "It's because I believe that this matter has something to do with the supernatural, sister-in-law. In the past three weeks, more than a hundred youngsters vanished and no one was able to trace them which makes this entire case peculiar."
Speaking up to this point, Wu Jin suddenly felt defeated. He had some lingering fear after seeing the terrific strength and power of the demon who was possessing the body of his sister which was why he desperately hoped that this case wasn't related to the supernatural but even after searching for so long he did not find anything which led him to firmly believe that something was definitely up.
If they did not find the mastermind behind this then he was afraid that the person will harm even more youngsters.
" Did you find nothing in your investigations?" Song Yan questioned as Assistant Xi started driving towards the Fu mansion. If Wu Jin did not find anything then it would be a bit troublesome for her to start looking in the right direction in fact she wouldn't even know where to start.
" I tried my best but like I said it is done too cleanly, those young boys and girls left the house of their own will and never returned—— whats more," he lowered his voice and then whispered, " Our department found a bunch of human bones buried behind a house. The culprit is yet to be found as the only one who stayed alive was the madam of that house."
" Madam of the house?" Song Yan narrowed her eyes as she mused with her brows furrowed. How was it possible that the madam of the house did not sense anything amiss even after living with her family for so long?
" She says that she went to her maternal house and when the madam returned, she did not find anyone in the house. At first, she thought that her family went outside but when she did not see them return, the madam of that house went to file a complaint which led to an investigation and only then did we find the bones which were buried in the backyard!"
Even now, Wu Jin felt a shiver climb up his spine when he thought of how the bones of the old and the young were buried inside the flower bed.
" Did the madam of the house say anything else?" Song Yan turned to look at Assistant Xi and asked him to drive to the city police station before turning her attention back to the call. " She must have seen something right? At least someone has to know something."
" The officers are trying to interrogate her but she is too shaken up as her entire family was killed," Wu Jin sighed he too wanted to find at least a single link which would lead him somewhere but no matter how many times they interrogated the madam of that house where the murder took place they found nothing, surprisingly enough they did not even find a single fingerprint inside the house.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Song Yan heard Wu Jin's explanation she pursed her lips and then said, " Ask that woman if her family went somewhere after she left….most likely the murder did not take in her own house."
" Okay, I will do that," Wu Jin had indeed tried to interrogate the woman many times and in many ways but she hasn't spoken a word other than shedding tears and sobbing. However now that Song Yan had spoken, he decided to try once more.
Once the call ended Wu Jin went looking for the woman hoping that she will answer his questions but as soon as he stepped inside the interrogation room, he found the woman going ballistic as she bit on the neck of the officer who was in charge of interrogating her.
"What's going on?" Wu Jin hurriedly opened the door of the interrogation room and then pushed it open before rushing inside and then tried to pull the woman off the officer on the ground. " Why is she like this?"
He thought that the woman was simply agitated but contrary to his expectations, the woman once again pounced on the officer next to her as she screamed, " Meat! I want meat! Give it to me."
Only then did everyone notice the wild glint in her eyes which was simply uncontrollable.
" She had gone mad, someone brings a shot and knock her down!" Wu Jin ordered his officer just as a talisman went flying past him and got stuck to the woman who stopped struggling and then fell on the ground looking unconscious yet writhing in pain.
" Dear me, when you said that you caught someone I thought you said that you caught a decent citizen. Where did you catch a cannibalistic rabbit?"
