Tang Tang needed to report this important situation to Zuo Mu in a timely manner. After all, the murderer had called the orphanage in broad daylight.
It was obvious that the murderer thought that apart from the children, the people in the orphanage were all women.
This kind of behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the strong would be despised everywhere.
It was a pity that the murderer himself didn't seem to feel ashamed. All he wanted was people's fear and attention. The more people paid attention, the more excited he would be.
So it could be seen that the murderer had a bit of a histrionic personality.
Tang Tang talked with Teacher Wang again. Teacher Wang was scared because the case in the orphanage had made no progress, and today she had even heard the murderer's voice up close. As a woman who had never experienced much, it was natural for her to be afraid.
"Are we really just going to wait for the murderer to show up?" Teacher Wang looked a bit nervous.
Tang Tang reached out and held Teacher Wang's hand to comfort her. She persuaded, "Actually, these are not what we want to see, but they just happened. So we have to face them actively. The murderer is probably just throwing out a smokescreen now. His purpose is to scare you, and he hides behind to enjoy everyone's fear."
Teacher Wang's trembling hand relaxed a bit under Tang Tang's encouragement.
She nodded and looked at Tang Tang trustingly. "In that case, I'll still do as I did before, gather the children together, and we'll just take more care of them."
Tang Tang agreed.
Finally, the sun set. After reluctantly saying goodbye to the children, Tang Tang got in the car to go home.
As usual, Zuo Mu was sitting on the sofa at home in his casual clothes, waiting for her.
Seeing Tang Tang looking a bit tired, Zuo Mu went to the kitchen to serve a bowl of soup and put it in front of Tang Tang. Then he said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Go wash your hands and taste the old hen soup I cooked tonight."
A fragrant smell wafted over, and Tang Tang's stomach growled embarrassingly. Her face blushed a bit.
Zuo Mu couldn't help smiling and said, "Go wash your hands quickly and come to eat."
Tang Tang responded and ran to the bathroom.
When she came out, the soup was just right to drink.
Zuo Mu carefully skimmed off the oil floating on the surface of the soup. There were only tender chicken and a few medicinal herbs left.
It seemed that Zuo Mu had cooked medicinal cuisine again.
Tang Tang took a bite. The taste was unexpectedly good.
It seemed that Zuo Mu was really good at making soup. Tang Tang ate happily.
She slurped up a bowl of soup. Finally, her stomach felt warm. Tang Tang let out a long breath and lay down on the sofa, feeling much more comfortable.
She had been on high alert all day. Now that she suddenly relaxed, she felt a bit unaccustomed.
"Brother Zuo Mu," Tang Tang suddenly couldn't wait to tell him what had happened today. "The murderer called again today."
Again?
Zuo Mu was a bit confused. Did the murderer have multiple targets besides Sister Xu?
"What's going on?"
Tang Tang then told Zuo Mu what had happened in the orphanage today, all the details.
Zuo Mu was stunned after hearing it.
"What kind of constitution do you have? You've only been to this orphanage a few times, right? Every time you go, you happen to encounter something." Zuo Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Tang Tang thought carefully about this sentence and combined it with her experiences during this period. She realized that Zuo Mu was absolutely right. She had only gone to the orphanage as a volunteer, but unexpectedly, being a detective had become her main job and volunteering had become a side job.
"Forget it. I'm used to it." Tang Tang had given up struggling.
"Aren't you afraid at all?"
"Not afraid." Tang Tang's eyes were bright, shining with determination. "With Brother Zuo Mu here, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Hearing this, Zuo Mu was amused. "You have quite a lot of confidence in me."
"Of course. Who are you? You're Brother Zuo Mu. Is there anything you can't do?" After these words, Zuo Mu felt a bit embarrassed.
"Brother Zuo Mu, do you still remember the call Xiaojun received that you once mentioned? I saw it today too. The caller specifically asked for Haohao and scared the child badly."
Tang Tang mentioned this detail inadvertently.
However, what Tang Tang didn't expect was that Zuo Mu was so shocked that he even stood up directly. "What? Say that again?"
Tang Tang was stunned because she had probably never seen Zuo Mu so impatient.
Seeing that Tang Tang seemed a bit at a loss, Zuo Mu knew that his reaction was too strong. So he slowed down his voice and said, "Can you repeat what was said on the call?"
Tang Tang also realized that this should be a very important clue. So she repeated the general meaning according to what she had heard in the orphanage today.
Zuo Mu took out his phone, found a file, and played it.
"Good evening. How about we play a game..."
The voice came out. Tang Tang was stunned. The content of what this person said was exactly the same as what was said to Haohao this afternoon.
"What's this?" Tang Tang was a bit curious.
Zuo Mu didn't finish playing the file. He closed it and then explained, "This is the recording Sister Xu made that day."
In other words, there was not much difference between this call and the one Tang Tang heard this afternoon. Tang Tang wondered if this person was reading from a script or had made so many calls that he was used to it. Even the tone and intonation were exactly the same.
Moreover, on the basis of the words being exactly the same, Tang Tang always felt that besides this time, she seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before.
Although the words were different, the voice was definitely the same person's.
"What's wrong, Tang Tang?" After Zuo Mu finished playing the recording, he saw that Tang Tang seemed to be in a dilemma. He couldn't help feeling a bit worried.
After all, he was an adult man, while Tang Tang was just an underage girl. Was it appropriate to let her be exposed to this sinful world so early?
Tang Tang thought for a long time. Her mind was working at high speed, trying to find the previous memory point.
Where was it?
Where?
Tang Tang felt like her head was about to explode from thinking.
Finally, a certain memory in her brain was opened like a door.
"I remember!" Tang Tang even jumped up because of excitement.
"What?" Zuo Mu looked at Tang Tang tenderly.
Tang Tang felt infinite strength from Zuo Mu's gaze.
"I've heard this voice before." Tang Tang explained.
