Chapter 163 How Could It Be Daniel


    The news that Daniel had killed a pregnant woman had already gone viral on the Inte. And also,


    manyizens had reposted the picture of the pregnant woman, making things worse.


    By the time J awoke, the news articles on Weibo were in a full frenzy.


    She hadn''t seen the news until she had overheard the customers in her shop talking about it.


    She opened her Weibo and saw that "Daniel" was one of the top searched items.


    She read one of the posts, and it said that Daniel had killed a pregnant woman and her baby.


    ''What happened? How could it be Daniel? It''s impossible!''


    J dialed Daniel''s number immediately.


    But there was no answer.


    She dialed Spark''s number. Spark was with Daniel. But there was no answer, either. And Shirley''s


    phone was power off as well, and by this time, J started getting worried.


    At that very moment, she saw that the official SL Group ount released a press statement through


    theirwyer, saying that the news that Daniel had killed someone was just a rumour and that it


    shouldn''t be taken seriously.


    "If anyone continues to repost and spread any other false rumours, Daniel Si will solve the matter


    through legal means."


    The statement made J feel a bit more relieved; she knew that Daniel couldn''t be a murderer.


    She didn''t know whether she should call him again, or not; she was afraid of bothering him.


    But she was in the same time really worried about him.


    Finally, J decided to personally drive to town.


    Two forensic doctors hade in town soon to examine the body of the pregnant woman.


    She was found dead on the bed, and there were no signs of struggling or any kind of injuries on the


    surface of the skin.


    She seemed to be asleep.


    Several police officers were collecting footprints or fingerprints, but the murderer was so rigorous in his


    attack that no clue had been found.


    The results of the victim''s blood tests came out an hourter.


    "The pregnant woman was injected with the B9S3 virus, once found in Green Cold Country. People


    who are injected with this virus die without feeling any sort of pain, " exined one of the forensic


    experts.


    B9S3 virus? Daniel had never heard of this type of virus in his entire life.


    He let the director fetch his phone and directly dialed a number, regardless of the many missed calls


    and messages that were disyed on his phone. "Where are you now? Could you please help me

    check the B9S3 virus? Yeah... including who bought it."


    Then Daniel dialed some other numbers.


    The town they were in wasn''t like the urban areas, where everything was monitored. Here, they had no


    surveince, and there was no way to know who had been here andmitted the atrocious deed.


    Daniel even thought that, if he only relied on the local policemen, he would get the answer only until


    next year.


    He walked out of the house to smoke in a corner, and next to him sat a grizzled old man. Daniel put his


    phone back and handed him a cigarette.


    "Thank you, young man." Daniel lighted his cigarette in silence and then resumed talking on the phone


    again.


    "How are things? William is gone?" he asked. Daniel pressed on his cigarette filter with his fingertips.


    ''Why did William disappear all of a sudden? He should be asking forpensations and penalties.''


    "OK, I see. Try to start the construction as soon as possible."


    After he ended the call, he stood his ground and thought of something.


    "Young man, are you Daniel Si?" asked the old man.


    He looked back and nodded, and said, "Yes, I am."


    "I know who entered their house." Daniel paused when he heard him.


    He stubbed out his cigarette and then walked towards the old man.


    At that very moment, something shed in front of his eyes. Daniel quickly lifted his leg and kicked off


    the dagger that was flying to the old man.


    The sharp noise here soon alerted many people.


    The man with the dagger had been subdued by Daniel when the policemen rushed over.


    "He was the one that entered their house at four o''clock this morning."


    The old man wasn''t scared at all, and he calmly identified the man.


    The man on the ground was handcuffed, and Daniel looked at him, and snapped, "Why?"


    The man kept silent.


    "He is a mute, living in the next vige." The old man''s words elevated him in Daniel''s eyes.


    The policemen fetched for the mute a piece of paper and a pen, but he just stood still, with reaction.


    "Was it you who killed the pregnant Fancy?" asked the policeman.


    He nodded.


    Daniel was confused.


    He whispered to the old man, "Did he know the pregnant woman?"


    The old man shook his head. "I don''t know neither, but I do know that he is a responsible son. His


    mother is rather old now."


    ''Could it be that someone used his old mother as leverage to manipte him?'' thought Daniel.


    The policemen took the mute to the station, to avoid any other idents.


    While he was talking with the old man, Daniel heard someone calling his name.


    "Daniel!"


    When he looked back, he was surprised by the girl dressed in pink.


    J trotted towards him with a smile painted all over her face.


    When she was just three meters away from him, a man rushed out of the alley and stood in front of her.


    Daniel then clenched his hands into fists.


    People all around them were all scared, and were shouting. "Weapons! He has weapons!"


    "Ooh! Run! Everybody run!" The crowd broke up in a hubbub, fearing that they would be hurt by his


    weapons.


    J felt a gun pressed on her head and stood still.


    Cedric Xu was threatening J with a weapon right in front of Daniel.


    Three policemen and J''s bodyguards immediately took out their guns and pointed them at Cedric.


    Daniel was furious.


    "What do you want?"


    Cedric loaded the gun, which made Daniel''s heart jolt for a second, but he had to make himself look


    calm.


    "William ran away and left me here to bear the me for him. You let me go and I''ll let her go..." Cedric


    was then stopped by Daniel''s yell.


    "J!"


    And then Cedric was thrown up into the air. His gun flew out of his arm and then he fell on the ground.


    While he was speaking, J had given Cedric a perfect shoulder throw with all her strength.


    Cedric''s weapon discharged on the car window. And one of J''s bodyguards shot Cedric on his


    wrist, and his weapon fell to the ground.


    "Ouch!" Cedric screamed out in pain; he was in too much pain to say anything else.
