You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 201

“Bai Rong, there are some things I’m curious about. How can you be sure that there is more than one murderer? Also, how do you determine that the murderer is not from a well-to-do family? You even concluded that she’s probably someone he has dated before. What is your basis for that?”

“Tony is six foot two and weighs almost 190 pounds. Do you think it’s possible for one person to carry his body alone? Besides, the corpse was dumped inside a public toilet which was at a deserted part of an old neighborhood where the roads were so narrow that cars couldn’t even pass through. The murderers were very familiar with that area and even knew what time there no one would be passing by.

Even if someone else happened to be there, it was highly likely that the murderers were people who would not arouse the suspicions of others. Do you think a wealthy person would frequent such a deserted public toilet? Tony was the most sought after gigolo and his customers were all either powerful or wealthy, or extremely gorgeous like Su Wanning. He would never waste his time entertaining ordinary women.

Another category of women whom he would willingly spend time with would be someone he loved or had broken up with. No matter what, she would be someone he had dated. As for tools used to dismember the body, it would be too risky for them to borrow someone else’s to do that. Moreover, the black plastic bag which contained the body parts was the sort used by fish mongers or butchers and wouldn’t be found in any ordinary household,” Bai Rong explained in detail.

“So you suspect that there are two murderers in total. Could there be more than two?” Mu Xiaosheng speculated.

“That’s not possible. Firstly, it’s not easy to tell others that you have contracted such a disease. Secondly, Tony’s ex-girlfriend wouldn’t be familiar with the people in Tony’s current social circle. As such, it’s not likely that she would have teamed up with Tony’s wealthy clients.”

Mu Xiaosheng was enlightened after Bai Rong’s further explanation.

“Bai Rong, isn’t this a part of criminal psychology? I can’t believe you are so well-versed in this aspect as well. I’m seriously impressed. No wonder you’re so popular in the field,” Mu Xiaosheng complimented the woman.

“Please focus on your work,” Gu Mingchen reminded Mu Xiaosheng.

Mu Xiaosheng looked at Gu Mingchen and suddenly remembered that there was something he had forgotten to do.

He turned to speak to Bai Rong, “This morning, the relevant department sent us a document but I haven’t looked at it yet.”

“Relevant department?” Bai Rong looked towards Gu Mingchen.

“I’ll take a look later. I’m so busy with Tony’s case recently that it slipped my mind,” Mu Xiaosheng said as he dug out that document.

Gu Mingchen was speechless.

When Mu Xiaosheng saw the Special Forces Military Base’s official seal affixed at the bottom of the document, he kept quiet and looked at Gu Mingchen awkwardly before passing it to Bai Rong.

“You can leave now. Thanks for helping out with the case,” Mu Xiaosheng said as he let out a dry laugh.

“OK, I’ll contact you again.” Bai Rong took over the document and kept it in her bag.

“We shall go off first then,” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice as he turned and left Mu Xiaosheng’s office without looking back.

While Mu Xiaosheng waved goodbye to Bai Rong, the woman said, “You can call me if you need anything. I promised I will help you and I haven’t forgotten that. I’ll just be performing psychological tests for the soldiers at the military base and have plenty of time to assist you if needed,” Bai Rong offered.

“Got it. Thanks, Bai Rong,” Mu Xiaosheng replied.

After Bai Rong followed Gu Mingchen out of the research institute and got into his car, the man asked coldly, ”What did you promise Mu Xiaosheng again?”

Bai Rong took a deep breath and replied truthfully, “More than three years back when I wanted to study psychology at a prestigious university overseas, it was Mu Xiaosheng who helped me with it and all the expenses were borne by him. In return, I promised that I would work for him for a few years after I graduate and return to the country.” “

However, Mu Xiaosheng was very kind and told me that I didn’t have to do that. But since that was what I promised him and it’s only right that I repay his kindness, we agreed that I would help him with twenty cases. As Mu Xiaosheng has a good reputation and is an authoritative figure in the field, the police often approached him for help. There are a few branches of psychology and criminal psychology is one of them. I happened to have studied it when I was overseas and can apply the knowledge to help him.”
