Chapter 71 - 71 Plot
71 Plot
“Yes, but it seems to be a missing person case. My master suspects that it has something to do with the dismemberment case.” Bai Luo quickly put on her coat and instructed Yin Tao, “You’d better not go to the black market in the future. It’s too risky. You’re not allowed to stay out all night today. Be a good girl and wait for me in the dormitory!”
Yin Tao nodded and watched Bai Luo leave in a hurry. Captain Feng seemed to be handling a case at the police station today, and she couldn’t assist him with it. Her master had been relatively quiet. Yin Tao planned to take a shower and rest for the night.
After taking a shower, Yin Tao felt much more relaxed. Seeing that there were no missed calls, Yin Tao felt completely at ease.
No call means no new victim found…
Yin Tao felt that it was a good thing. She ordered a barbecue takeout and wanted to wait for Bai Luo to come back to eat with her.
However, Bai Luo wasn’t back even after the delivery arrived. Yin Tao looked at the time. It was already 8:30 pm.
Yin Tao didn’t dare to disturb Bai Luo, so she could only eat the barbecue herself.
Yin Tao finished more than half of the skewers and was so full she couldn’t eat anymore. It seemed like Bai Luo was going to work through the night again.
Yin Tao tidied up a little before lying down on the bed. Thinking about the various events that happened after she transmigrated, Yin Tao still felt like she was in a dream.
She felt that her current life was no different from her previous life in the real world.
Ever since Yin Tao changed the plot of the original novel and became a forensic doctor, many of the plots in the original novel had been changed.
As long as she avoided interacting with Yin Ning and Xi Feng as much as possible, it was unlikely that she would become what she was in the original plot, right? Yin Tao was already very satisfied with her current life. As long as she could distance herself from the male and female leads as much as possible, she could take charge of her own life.
“In the original novel, the plot climaxed with the business war between Xi Feng and Wan Zhe. Feng Jing solved the kidnapping case of his brother, Feng Ye. In the end, Xi Feng and the female protagonist got together. Yin Ning relied on her rebirth to obtain a happy life…”
Yin Tao muttered softly. She could only remember the rough plot of the original novel. Moreover, the plot had already changed greatly. As a transmigrator, she no longer had the advantage of being able to predict the plot. Even Yin Ning was affected by her, so she should have realized by now that the plot was already out of her control.
“I can only take things one step at a time in the future.” Yin Tao had returned to the small bed in the dormitory after two days. Although it was not as comfortable as Feng Jing and Lin Jia’s villa, Yin Tao slept exceptionally soundly.
The next morning, Yin Tao was woken up by rustling noises in the washroom. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw that the door to the washroom was closed. There was the sound of toilet flushing.
“Bai Luo?” Yin Tao’s voice was a little hoarse. She looked at the time and realized that it was not even six o’clock.
“Xiaotao, did I wake you up?” Bai Luo gently shook the water off her hands. She looked at Yin Tao, who was sitting up on the upper bunk, and asked apologetically.
“It’s fine. I should be up too.” Yin Tao felt that Bai Luo looked haggard and asked with concern, “What time did you come back last night?”
The corners of Bai Luo’s mouth twitched weakly. She sighed and said, “Last night? I’ve only been back from the police station for less than ten minutes…”
“Ah, you didn’t sleep at all the whole night?” Yin Tao looked at the greenish tinge under Bai Luo’s eyes and felt that she must have stayed up all night.
“More or less. I’ve been checking the surveillance video.” Bai Luo felt her eyes sting. She took off her coat and shoes and fell onto the bed.
“What’s the situation with the missing persons case that Captain Chen mentioned on the phone yesterday?” Yin Tao climbed out of bed and poured a cup of hot water for Bai Luo.
“Xiaotao, I don’t know what’s wrong with City A recently. There have been a total of 23 missing persons, and they all seem to have dissipated into thin air, no one can find them.” Bai Luo took a sip of water and lay back on the bed.
“So many?” Yin Tao was also a little surprised. She didn’t know if it was because she had chosen the forensic profession, but Yin Tao felt that there were more and more murders in City A.
“Yes, and I don’t know which one is related to the dismemberment case. This murderer doesn’t seem to be picky at all. The murder victims seem random. We can’t find any clues.” Bai Luo grabbed the blanket in distress. She and Xia Jin had studied the case for a long time yesterday, but they still couldn’t find any pattern in the murderer’s modus operandi.
“Human traffickers usually target children and women. Such crimes where there is no discernable pattern should be related to the trafficking of organs and blood.” Yin Tao still felt that these cases were related to the black market.
