The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Zhao Ze (3)

"Xiao Ze, don’t keep working. Leave that for the workers to do tomorrow. You should go home and rest."

Father Zhao watched his son’s busy silhouette and shouted loudly.

Zhao Ze heard his father’s voice, lifted his head, and smiled, "Mom, Dad, you two go to sleep. I’m just finishing this mattress. Once I’m done, I’ll head to bed.

I just finished an experiment and need to give my brain a break."

Hearing their son’s words, Father Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, accustomed to this routine, advised their son to be careful, then went back to sleep.

They sighed in their hearts, pondering how many good deeds they must have done in their past lives to have such an excellent son in this one.

Since young, their son had helped out at their factory, doing what he could as a child, and when he was older, he worked alongside the workers during holidays.

Now, their son could independently make a mattress.

They used to think of not letting their son do these things; first, because he was still young, and second, because his studies were more important.

But their son argued that studying was tiring, and doing these tasks at the factory not only gave his brain a break but also improved his concentration or something like that.

They didn’t understand, but since their son excelled in his studies, they felt he was always right.

Looking at the children of relatives and friends, who either went traveling during vacations or stayed home playing games, partying around,

in comparison, their son was really easy to manage!

Father Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, having worked all day, gradually fell asleep to the humming of the machines outside as they lay in bed.

Though the machines were loud, they had been listening to them for decades and were used to it.

Sometimes, when they returned home and it was all quiet, they couldn’t even fall asleep.

The hum of the machinery continued for over three hours before stopping.

By noon the next day, all of Zhao Ze’s information and the information of eight victims had been gathered.

Xiang Rong was also prepared.

"It’s always me going in. Don’t you have any pity or compassion?"

Xiang Rong complained as she adjusted her clothes, really not fond of such revealing outfits!

The colleagues from the criminal investigation team, seeing Xiang Rong’s attire, all gave her a thumbs up.

"Sister Rong, if you went out like that, some would believe you’re eighteen!"

"Sister Rong, what skincare products do you use? Please share your tips with us."

"Sister Rong, you’re so beautiful!"

Amid the compliments, Xiang Rong’s mood gradually improved.

Lin Xiaoyan walked over, and upon seeing Xiang Rong’s outfit, his eyes lit up.

"Sister Rong, you look so pretty!"

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan, Xiang Rong hurried over.

"Yanyan, let me hold your hand. Check if there’s any danger."

As she spoke, Xiang Rong took Lin Xiaoyan’s hand.

The next second, familiar images flashed before Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes.

After "seeing" those images, she described everything she saw in them.

After hearing her, Xiang Rong was full of excitement, "Haha, today we’ll catch Zhao Ze like a turtle in a jar! Make sure he doesn’t escape!"

At 2 PM, Zhao Ze left his factory with a backpack.

The workers, seeing Zhao Ze leaving, asked Father and Mrs. Zhao.

"Boss, is Xiao Ze off to a part-time job again?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded with a smile, "Yes, Xiao Ze said he wants to experience different jobs and accumulate more experience."

On hearing this, the workers present felt a pang of envy.

These seasoned workers had watched Zhao Ze grow up, and this child was practically an angel!

How wonderful!

Why didn’t they have such a good child?

Meanwhile, Xiang Rong had already arrived at a private cinema, took out her phone to scan the code, and surveyed her surroundings before heading to her room entrance, scanning the code to enter.

The 15-square-meter room featured a bed, a small sofa, a small table, and a projector, with a small compartment for washing and toileting!

"Tsk, tsk!"

Looking at the room, Xiang Rong couldn’t stop "tsk-tsking" in her mind. Was this a cinema? This was basically a...

People these days really know how to have fun!

Next time, they could raid a place like this and definitely catch couples in compromising situations!

Xiǎng Rong unintentionally glanced around the room. She knew that the last private cinema they checked had a lot of hidden pinhole cameras in every room.

This place probably had no shortage of them, either.

She checked the bed, pondered for a moment, then took a blanket from her bag and spread it over the bed before sitting down.

She couldn’t stand the thought of what might be on these kinds of beds.

Once seated, Xiang Rong switched on the projector and started watching a film.

Watching the scene unfold on his computer, Zhao Ze finally spotted a loose end.

He gazed at Xiang Rong’s fit body, eyes glinting with mania.

This time, he wanted to see if exchanging the hearts of animals and humans would allow them to continue living...

Closing his computer, Zhao Ze took a bottle of pills from his backpack, crushed them into powder, and sprinkled it over drinks and fruits.

He quietly waited for the powder to dissolve before standing, taking the drinks and fruits, and entering Xiang Rong’s room.

"Knock, knock..."

Just as Xiang Rong was laughing heartily at the film, she suddenly heard knocking at the door.

A glint appeared in Xiang Rong’s eyes. Finally, they had come—she was nearly dozing off!

Her younger child had also run a fever last night, and she and her husband had stayed up all night caring for their two kids.

"Ah..."

Yawning, Xiang Rong’s eyes started tearing up from sheer fatigue.

She stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Hello, ma’am. Here are some complimentary drinks and fruits from our cinema for you. Enjoy!"

Glimpsing at Zhao Ze, Xiang Rong smiled as she took the drinks and fruits, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Zhao Ze turned away, showing no hint of deceit.

Watching Zhao Ze leave, Xiang Rong raised an eyebrow slightly, then closed the door.

Honestly, anyone looking at Zhao Ze wouldn’t think he’s a murderer.

Just as Zhao Ze was heading back to monitor the cameras to see if Xiang Rong drank the drink, a door opened beside him, and a man emerged.

"Hey, waiter! Bring us some drinks and fruits too, two servings!"

Zhao Ze: ...

"Sure, sir, please wait a moment."

"Quickly. We’re parched. By the way, do you have fire?"

"Apologies, sir, we don’t provide fire."

"Oh, do you have popcorn snacks, or something? Our mouths are too idle during the movie."

Zhao Ze: ...

"Sorry, sir, we don’t provide popcorn snacks. You can order takeout instead.

We currently only offer drinks and fruits."

The man said impatiently, "Alright, alright, hurry up."

Unable to help himself, Zhao Ze started rubbing his hands. He quickly turned and brought two drinks and two servings of fruits to the man’s room.

"The drinks are here. Have a sip; I’m ordering takeout. What do you feel like eating?"

Glancing into the room, Zhao Ze saw two men: one lounging on the bed watching a film leisurely, and the other, the man who’d ordered the fruits and drinks, was busy ordering takeout on his phone.

"Anything’s fine. Just be quiet; I’m watching a movie!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll order myself."
