The Target always thinks that I like him!

Chapter 57

However, what he did not expect was that on the day of Shen Ze's birthday, Xue Ling still met with an accident.

By the time Xiang Han learnt of it, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

He had woken up later than usual but when he entered the living room, he saw Lin Rui Qing who seemed to be interrogating Shen Ze.

He inexplicably had a bad feeling and quickly asked, "What...happened?"

Lin Rui Qing put down his pen with a frown, "Xue Ling had been released on bail a few days ago due to some medical issues. But last night, she was murdered."

Xiang Han instantly froze, only speaking again after a moment, "But...what does this have to do with us?"

Lin Rui Qing consoled him, "This is only a formality." Saying so, he turned towards Shen Ze to ask, "A distant relative of Xue Ling said you once used a knife to threaten her, is that true?"

Shen Ze nodded, causing Shen Zheng Duo who was sitting by the side to pale.

Lin Rui Qing's expression also turned grave, "What kind of knife? Can you take it out to let me have a look?"

With a flick of his wrist, a short blade appeared between his fingers. No one knew where it had appeared from.

Seeing the knife, Shen Zheng Duo sighed in relief. Lin Rui Qing was also surprised but remained silent, only looking over the knife in his hand.

Xiang Han understood. Lin Rui Qing, most likely, had recognised where Shen Ze had learnt those knife skills from, and thus, deliberately went forward to ask in curiosity, "Officer Lin, Xue Ling...how did she die?"

Lin Rui Qing threw him a smile, and shook his head. "It's quite cruel, it's better if you didn't know."

Xiang Han's heart trembled, silently thinking, could she have been chopped into pieces?

After Lin Qui Qing left, he subconsciously looked towards Shen Ze. Shen also did not know why but he instinctively said, "I've only ever cut potatoes."

Xiang Han, "Oh..."

Shen Ze probably felt strange, so he added, "Xue Ling was strangled to death and then dismembered."

"She wasn't sliced up?" Xiang Han asked.

Shen Ze's face went dark, "No."

"Oh." Xiang Han finally felt relieved...as if! Xue Ling had still died on Shen Ze's birthday. Did that mean he would still end up with that scum...

Shen Zheng Duo couldn't listen any more. Why were these two kids so calm when talking about a murderer's technique?

He quickly interrupted them, "That's enough, this matter ends here. There's no need for you guys to think any further. On the other hand, Xiao Ze, why didn't you tell me when you saw Xue Ling wandering around our neighbourhood? Even using a knife to threaten her, do you really take yourself as one of those gangsters? This time, it was only Xue Ling, but what if it was someone who knew how to fight..."

"I still have something to do, why don't you lecture him instead," Shen Ze suddenly cut him off. Pointing towards Xiang Han, he left directly.

Shen Zheng Duo was infuriated into choking. Seeing the situation, Xiang Han also slipped away in a hurry.

Xue Ling's case was quickly solved. The murderer was an avid gambler who only wanted to rob her but then accidentally strangled her to death during their brawl.

By this time, Xiang Han already started with school. He was undergoing Senior High School military training[1] when he learnt of this outcome, causing him to feel extremely complicated.
