"But I don\'t think this is the right time to interrogate the victims parents. They must be busy with the funeral now" Chief Zhou interrupted

"I know, but we can\'t sit and wait for the right time"

"But-" just as Chief Zhou was about to speak, Sia interrupted him before he could argue. "Chief Zhou, how many days has it been since we found the fifth victim?"

Though stunned, Chief Zhou still responded "Its been three days"

"That\'s right. And according to the information we have collected until now, when were the victims kidnapped?" Sia asked again

"….Two days before we found their body"

"And right now we only have two days left to find the culprit. If we fail to capture the culprit before two days, then you might as well get ready to collect the sixth victim\'s body. Even if we could capture the culprit during that time, we can\'t be sure of the victim will still be alright. That\'s why, every second now is important and we can\'t afford to waste it and I don\'t want another mother to part from her daughter… forever"

"Sorry Mr. Shien, I was wrong. Please proceed with your investigation, meanwhile we will try to find any possible clues from other victims too"

"Please give it your all"

After giving her piece of advice, Sia swiftly left the police station with HK and headed to the neighboring city where the funeral was held. Even though the fifth victim and her family lived in City M, their ancestral house was in city F. And it took exactly more than two hours for Sia and HK to reach the funeral hall. The moment Sia and HK stepped into the funeral house, they startled to feel silghtly uncomfortable after being infected by the depressing atmospheres. Looking at the people crying their tears out in front of the deceased photo, Sia felt extremely uncomfortable and she clenched her fist tightly as she recalled some unpleasant memories. Taking deep breaths, she suppressed the unpleasant memories from wreaking havoc in her mind and walked towards the funeral where the parents of victim 5 were holding the ceremony. lost both of her parents at the young age, Mr. and Mrs. Zhen decided to adopt her as their daughter. Though she was not the biological daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Zhen still Victim 5 was in fact not the biological daughter instead she was the daughter of Mr. Zhen\'s close friend who had passed away long time. Taking pitty on the little girl who lost both of her parents at the young age, Mr. and Mrs. Zhen decided to adopt her as their daughter. Though she was not the biological daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Zhen still treated her well and provided her all the facilities their children received. From a distance, Sia observed the couple for a while before she decided to make the move. Before speaking to the couple, Sia and HK first prayed for the deceased and completed the rituals before turning to the couple who stood aside, filled with sadness. "Mr. and Mrs. Zhen, I\'m officer Shien and this is Officer HK. We would like to speak with you for a moment"

Exchanging glance, Mr. and Mrs. Zhen nodded their head. After leaving instructions to their two sons, they invited Sia and HK to the side room which was meant for the family members to rest. "Tell me officers, how can we help you"

"I know this might not be the right time to ask but in order to catch the culprit as early as possible, we have no other choice"

"I understand. I\'m willing to give my utmost support to catch the bastard who killed my daughter" Mr. Zhen said while trying his best not to cry

"Mr. Zhen, we heard that Ms. Zhen was not your biological daughter?"

"Yes, she was not. She was my friends daughter whom we had adopted years back"

"I heard that Ms. Zhen still had other uncles and aunt who were capable enough to take care of her. So why did you adopt her instead"

"Those bastards, they don\'t deserve to be called humans" before Mr. Zhen could answer, Mrs. Zhen answered through gritted teeth. There were anger, sadness and tears in her eyes, clearly revealing her inner emotion. Tears started to roll down as Mrs. Zhen started to speak "Before we adopted little Kiki, she stayed with her uncle but those people were worse than animals. They hit her, beat her, starved her. Not only were they eyeing Kiki\'s inheritance, they even wanted to sell her to traffickers when they realized they couldn\'t get the inheritance money from kikik. If not because of eldest son who heard about by mistake, we would have lost kiki long back"

"Thankfully we were able to save Kiki on time. After that we lodged a complaint and sent the husband and wife to jail. After that incident we did not dare to let Kiki follow any of her uncle and auntie and decided to adopt her as our daughter. Also, my wife also always wanted a daughter but she was unable to conceive one, so we started to treat Kiki as our biological daughter"

"Kiki was the child we felt very proud of" Mrs. Zhen said with a faint smile "She was such a cute little doll. Not only was she pretty, she was smart and was very obedient. Unlike her brothers who always caused trouble, Kiki was very obedient and was our little padded jacket. Even though we gave her more pocket money than her brothers, she never accepted it. Instead she worked part time to earn her own pocket money. She even bought me a bought me a little gift using her first salary. Such a considerate girl, how can a person even have the heart to kill her… in such a brutal way?" at the end Mrs. Zhen couldn\'t take it and burst out crying as she held a swan shaped pendent in her hand. While comforting his wife, Mr. Zhen was also tearing up. "I\'m sorry for you loss Mr. and Mrs. Zhen but could you please tell us how was Ms. Zhen\'s relationship with her friends? Did she have conflict with anyone? Or any enemies?"

"No, infact Kiki did not have many friends. Because of her bad past, she did not like getting close with unfamiliar people. She only had three friends and was only close with one of them"

"And what about familiar people? How would Ms. Zhen behave with familiar people"

"According to Kiki, there were only two kind of people. Those who were close to her, and those who were unfamiliar. And those who were familiar, if they were not considered close, she would treat them as if they were unfamiliar"

"Mrs. Zhen, one last question. Was Ms. Kiki in relationship?"

"No, Kiki never told us anything about that. And based on her behaviour she never seemed like she was in a relationship" Mrs. Zhen denied

"Alright, we got it. Mrs. Zhen, please give us the address of the place where Ms. Kiki worked part time"
