Chapter 314: Han Xian, Mother and Daughter's Prey, a Male Model

 Chapter 314: Han Xian, Mother and Daughter's Prey, a Male Model

Qin Ruan remained resolute, and the female staff member sought permission from their superior. Once granted, she said to Qin Ruan, "The scene is quite gruesome. You should be mentally prepared if you want to see it." "I understand," Qin Ruan replied. The female staff member then turned to Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei, asking, "Do you both want to see it as well?" Qin Jingcen responded, "Let's go and take a look." And so, the three siblings were led upstairs. Inside the corridor of the crime scene, they saw the person being interrogated. He was a remarkably good-looking man, with a well-built physique, standing at around 1.9 meters tall. Qin Jingcen asked, "Who is this?" The female staff member replied, "He was the lover of the two deceased." "What?!" Qin Mei widened her eyes in disbelief, her face full of astonishment. Qin Jingcen and Qin Ruan also wore grim expressions. The female staff member averted her gaze and spoke in a cold tone, "The man being questioned is a male model by profession. He was the lover of the two deceased and is the only eyewitness at the scene." Qin Mei's worldview was shattered, and she felt utterly disoriented. After a while, as they reached the entrance to the room, Qin Mei was still in shock, exclaiming, "This is beyond belief!" How could a mother and daughter end up involved with a male model? Was this before or after her mother divorced their old man? The group stood at the entrance of the crime scene as the female staff member said, "The forensic examiner is conducting an investigation inside. Please do not disturb the personnel and refrain from damaging the scene." The three siblings from the Qin family nodded earnestly and were escorted into the room. The room was filled with a strong smell of blood, causing Qin Ruan to cover her mouth and nose while furrowing her eyebrows. Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei wore pale expressions, deeply affected by the nauseating odor. When Qin Mei saw the two bodies on the large bed, his reaction was intense. His eyes widened, pupils contracting, and he dry-heaved before quickly turning around and rushing out of the room. The surrounding staff members were already accustomed to such reactions. In the past, when the bereaved family members witnessed such a brutal scene, their emotions would be extremely resistant or even out of control. It was considered fortunate if they didn't faint. Qin Jingcen stared at the naked bodies of Han Xian and Han Kexin, their bed covered in fresh red bloodstains, the color draining from his face. It was too tragic! A single word "tragic" is insufficient to describe it. Who could harbor such a deep hatred against them and resort to such cruel means to massacre them? Han Xian's body was severed at the waist, and it was unclear what kind of weapon was used. Han Kexin's condition was even more horrifying. Her limbs were severed, even her lower body was a bloody mess. The torment she endured in life was simply appalling. The most bewildering aspect was Han Kexin's face, which had been skinned by the killer, rendering her unrecognizable. Qin Ruan's gaze passed over the staff inside the room and swept toward the corner beside the bed, her exquisite eyes glimmering. In the unseen corners, two spirits were floating. They were none other than Han Xian and Han Kexin, the mother and daughter. Initially, when Qin Ruan saw Han Kexin's skinned body, she thought there might be something fishy going on. But upon seeing the spirits of this mother and daughter, she confirmed that they were indeed dead. But who was the culprit, and why did they torture and kill them in such a gruesome and inhumane manner? The spirit of Han Xian stared blankly, fixed on the staff coming and going in the room. Han Kexin, on the other hand, stared at her own body in a daze. Her spirit repeatedly traversed her body, again and again, persistently attempting to return to it. How could someone who was already dead return to their physical body? All her efforts were in vain. While Qin Jingcen and Qin Ruan were astonished and shocked, fixated on the bodies of Han Xian and Han Kexin, a pair of eyes closely watched them, observing every subtle expression on their faces. Those eyes were sharp, thoroughly examining every inch of the siblings. After a long gaze, the person retracted their eyes and nodded lightly at the female staff member standing beside Qin Jingcen and Qin Ruan. The female staff member received the silent signal and nodded lightly as well. The observer quietly left the room. The female staff member took two steps forward and stood beside Qin Ruan, speaking up, "You siblings are quite bold." Her tone carried a profound meaning. Cases like this, generally, are not easily accessible to people. However, when she just sought permission from her superiors, she was asked to bring the Qin family with her to facilitate observing their words and actions in the face of the deceased. This was done to use elimination methods to determine whether they are the culprits. Qin Ruan glanced back, her eyebrows and eyes curved: "The dead are not terrifying, what's terrifying is the living." Her gaze shifted to the position where the person who had been secretly observing her and her eldest brother had stood before, but had already left. A female staff member stepped sideways to block her line of sight and made a gesture of invitation. "It's not suitable to linger at the crime scene. Shall we go outside and talk?" "That's fine." The three of them walked out of the room. In the corridor, a male model leaned against the wall, undergoing questioning. He pulled his hair and shouted loudly. "I've said it so many times, I didn't kill anyone! It's not me! I just went downstairs to catch my breath, who knew they would all be dead when I came back! If I had killed someone, why would I have called the police? I would have long since fled! Please, leave me alone!" "Please cooperate with our work. We are just conducting routine inquiries!" The staff member questioning him was also somewhat emotional. This man didn't speak a word of truth and his words were all over the place, making numerous contradictions. If they didn't suspect someone like him, then who would they suspect? As the only eyewitness at the scene, they had to interrogate him rigorously. The male model said, "I am cooperating. Can't you just leave me alone? I really didn't kill anyone!" "Yan En, please answer the previous question. Why did the three of you appear in the same hotel room? Did the two deceased have any conflicts due to emotional distress or physical altercations? We found injuries of various sizes on the deceased." Yan En, the handsome male model, showed a momentary embarrassment and difficulty in his expression. The staff member said, "Please cooperate. We want to solve the case as soon as possible, and you also want to get rid of suspicion early." Yan En's emotions calmed down a bit, and his body slowly slid down the wall. He squatted on the ground, forcefully pinching his brow, and whispered, "I didn't know they were mother and daughter, I really didn't know." "You don't know why the two deceased would appear together in the hotel, and their last contacts on their phones show you as the recipient." Yan En pulled his hair, feeling desolate. "Originally, I made an agreement with Ke Xin that we would do something different and exciting today. I said I would invite someone, and she agreed. Kexin and I arrived at the room first. We... we had already started when Han Xian arrived. I've known Han Xian for many years. Even before I entered the modeling circle, I was with her. She was my first sugar mama." "I wanted to become a model, but without any connections, it was impossible to make any progress in this industry. To gain fame, one had to pay a physical and mental price. Eventually, my career started to take off, and Han Xian had other targets. We slowly drifted apart and went our separate ways. I had no idea that Han Kexin was Han Xian's daughter. If I had known, I would never have gotten involved with her. Who would have guessed they had that kind of relationship?" The staff member asked, "What happened when Han Xian arrived?" "Kexin was in the room without any clothes on, so I went to open the door. After Han Xian entered the room, Kexin saw her and called her 'mom.' At that moment, I was completely stunned." "Did they have any arguments?" Yan En shook his head, saying, "No, Han Xian was surprised, but she didn't get angry. She even suggested that the three of us could continue playing, which she found more interesting. I didn't really care either way. Although they were supposed to be mother and daughter, they seemed more like sisters. I am a man and couldn't resist such mental and psychological stimulation." "But Han Kexin disagreed. She screamed and went crazy, even questioning why Han Xian was with me. She kept crying, and Han Xian was there trying to comfort her." At this point, Yan En paused, raised his head, and asked the staff member in front of him, "Do you have a cigarette?" Luckily, the staff member in front of him had cigarettes in his pocket due to the pressure of overtime work. The person took out a cigarette and handed it to Yan En. Seeing the cheap cigarette, a hint of disdain flashed in Yan En's eyes, but he didn't refuse and reached out to take it. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a pale blue smoke slowly. After taking three puffs, Yan En continued, "It was a good situation at first. We all came out to have fun and seek happiness. I was quite interested after finding out about their relationship. But when Han Kexin started crying, it ruined all the excitement. I left the room to let the mother and daughter downstairs to smoke and take a breath. It was probably only about half an hour. When I went upstairs to return to the room, I saw their bodies." "There was so much blood on the bed, and the room was filled with blood as well. I had never seen so much blood in my entire life. I was in shock, and my scalp tingled..." Yan En's voice slowly became nervous, indicating that he had been deeply affected. The interrogator said, "We checked with the hotel staff, and the surveillance footage showed that no one entered the room after you left." "I didn't kill them!" Yan En raised his head, revealing bloodshot eyes. His hand, holding a cigarette, trembled incessantly. He said, "When I left, Han Xian personally saw me off. She closed the door from inside." The interrogator said coldly, "The surveillance footage only shows you leaving the room; it doesn't show Han Xian seeing you off. This hotel has self-closing doors with hydraulic springs on the door frame. When the door is opened, it compresses and then releases, automatically closing the door." "What you're saying doesn't help you dispel suspicion. Think carefully if there were any other details you overlooked during that time." The staff observed the general scene and, in their hearts, they knew that Yan En was only half the suspect. The time of the crime and the gruesome scene didn't seem like the work of one person, and Yan En's clean appearance didn't match either. The staff conducted a full-body scan on Yan En and found no traces of blood. The two victims' bodies were in a horrifying state, with blood scattered throughout the room. If Yan En was the one who killed them, it would be impossible for him not to have a single drop of blood on him. However, Yan En was the only person who had contact with the victims before their deaths and the only eyewitness. His suspicion was the highest. At present, they could only rely on information from Yan En's mouth to gather more evidence beneficial to solving the case. (End of chapter)
