"Why would they feel so safe turning their backs on someone? It can only mean they might have known the killer. That's why they let their guard down, giving the killer a chance to launch a surprise attack."
Liu Baoqing nodded emphatically.
He had noticed this as well, especially after Xu Rulin was killed.
Xu Rulin was a witness in Huang Weili's case. Knowing Huang Weili had been murdered, he would have surely been on guard around strangers.
And yet, he was still taken by surprise. The most likely explanation was just as Shao Jingming had said: they knew each other. The killer was probably an angler who frequented the reservoir.
"Lao Zhao."
Liu Baoqing's head snapped up as he said the name.
Zhao Cunyong!
"Zhong Yu!"
He turned his head and shouted.
When Zhong Yu ran over, Liu Baoqing immediately ordered him to go through the past interview records and identify every single angler who had frequented the reservoir in the last month.
