As soon as Old Dong finished speaking, the hearts of the viewers in the livestream went cold.

What's going on?

Are they planning to abandon us?

This is like a sudden betrayal!

Is it easy to just watch some drama?

"Police officer, please make sure the Daoist master streams the whole investigation process."

"I've waited all night for this crucial moment, please don't end the stream now!"

"Boohoo... don't make me leave!"

"Daoist master, can you really bear to abandon us, your longtime followers?"

"I'm not leaving, I'll die before I leave!"

"I just want to know, who on earth harmed Zhou's cousin!"

"Exactly, I'm so anxious I'm scratching my ears and cheeks, almost turning into a monkey!"

"I want to witness the Daoist master using mysticism to solve the case..."

The viewers were all sending bullet comments, hoping to stay and hear the whole case.

However, the livestream room was indeed crowded and not the best place for talking.

After a moment of thought, Lu Heng nodded slightly.

He spoke with some apology to the viewers: "I'm very sorry, but the livestream for tonight will stop here for now."

"I understand that everyone is very curious about the details of the case."

"But please trust the police, they will certainly uncover the truth for everyone..."

Seeing this, Old Dong quickly chimed in: "Please rest assured, once we confirm the suspect, we'll announce the case details as soon as possible."

Under both sides' persuasion, although the viewers were reluctant, they had to quiet down.

After closing the livestream, Lu Heng didn't log off immediately but sent a private message to Zhou.

"The murderer of Zhou Xinxi is Li Hongwei!"

Upon seeing this line, not only Zhou, but even Old Dong and the other two standing nearby were stunned.

The name Li Hongwei was not unfamiliar to anyone.

Because he was none other than the missing Zhou Xinxi's husband.

"How could it be brother-in-law?"

Zhou's face turned pale, full of disbelief, he murmured.

Old Dong and the others were also filled with confusion and puzzlement.

It was known that Zhou Xinxi and her husband Li Hongwei had a very harmonious relationship.

The couple had been together for years and almost never argued.

Describing them as model partners wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Daoist master, my cousin and her husband had a great relationship!"

"The murderer absolutely couldn't be my brother-in-law!"

Zhou quickly typed back.

Even though he eagerly wanted the murderer to be brought to justice, he couldn't believe that his kind and gentle brother-in-law was the true culprit behind his cousin's death!

Old Dong was also baffled.

Back when Zhou Xinxi went missing, they had investigated Li Hongwei.

But Li Hongwei had been at work at the company during the day, never leaving, and had no time to commit the crime.

"You all were deceived by Li Hongwei!"

At this point, Lu Heng typed another line.

Previously, when using the Celestial Destiny System for divination, he saw everything Zhou Xinxi had experienced in the past.

But all those events and experiences abruptly ended on March 30, 2017.

Because on that day, she tragically died at the hands of her husband...

Lu Heng sighed gently, then typed: "March 30, 2017, was originally the anniversary for Li Hongwei and Zhou Xinxi."

"Yet on this day, Zhou Xinxi was killed by the husband she loved..."

"March 30?"

"This... this can't be!"

Zhou was taken aback after reading it.

He frowned deeply, typing with doubt: "Daoist master, my cousin went missing on April 3, she couldn't have been murdered on March 30."

"Because on April 2, I even called her to wish her a happy wedding anniversary."

"She even chatted with me for a while and asked about the situation back in our hometown..."

Next to him, Old Dong took the keyboard and typed: "Daoist master, I'm Officer Dong, after receiving the report, we thoroughly investigated and confirmed Zhou Xinxi disappeared on April 3."

"On both April 1 and 2, the neighbors heard Zhou Xinxi arguing with Li Hongwei."

"So we determined that Zhou Xinxi disappeared on the 3rd."

Looking at the evidence presented by the two, Lu Heng gently shook his head.

He then replied: "Young friend Zhou, when you called your cousin, could you confirm it was really her?"

"And Officer, the neighbors heard arguments, but did they actually see Zhou Xinxi herself?"

"This..."

Both of them were immediately stunned.

After six years, they finally realized this loophole.

Neither the call Zhou made on the 2nd nor the neighbors' claims of arguments on the 1st and 2nd provided evidence of actually seeing Zhou Xinxi in person!

Old Dong frowned deeply, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off.

When they investigated the Zhou Xinxi disappearance case, they hadn't thought much about it due to Zhou, the neighbors, and Li Hongwei's testimonies.

That's why they concluded Zhou Xinxi disappeared on April 3.

A small oversight then allowed the criminal to remain at large for five years!

Thinking of this, a look of guilt immediately appeared on Old Dong's face.

Lu Heng continued to type: "Young friend Zhou, after your cousin went missing, did you ever visit her home?"

"I did."

Zhou confirmed.

"Then did you notice any changes to your cousin's house?"

Lu Heng asked again.

"Well..."

Zhou thought carefully and hesitated: "I often visited my cousin's home and was familiar with it."

"After my cousin disappeared, I visited twice."

"Both times, I felt that the living room seemed smaller..."

"Daoist master, what does this have to do with the case?"

Old Dong was very curious.

Lu Heng explained: "I said Zhou Xinxi is dead, but you haven't found her body, nor any murder weapon."

"Aren't you curious where Zhou Xinxi's body was hidden?"

"Old Daoist, do you mean..."

Old Dong seemed to realize something.

"That's right, Zhou Xinxi's body was hidden by Li Hongwei inside the load-bearing wall."

"Along with the murder weapon, it's in that wall!"

After reading these lines, all four people present inhaled sharply.

A chill ran up their spines straight to their heads.

You know, ever since Zhou Xinxi disappeared, Li Hongwei didn't move; he still lived in the original house.

That means Li Hongwei lived with his wife's corpse for six years!

"As long as you break open that load-bearing wall, the case hidden for six years will be fully revealed!"

Lu Heng concluded.

"Thank you for the warning, Daoist master, we'll act immediately!"

"Rest assured, we won't let the criminal escape justice!"

Old Dong promised solemnly.
