The crime scene of the third victim, Chen Can Lan, is just like the previous two incidents.

At noon time, the victim died from a shot in the chest. This wealthy girl had just woken up from bed at the time. But she met her death after walking a few steps.

The Black Shield Team's office.

Jungkook, Lisa, Chatterbox, and Cold Face all have a cigarette in their hand, taking a smoke every now and then while they flip through the information gathered at the scene. Bambam is chewing hard on his gum with a solemn expression.

"There are no interactions between the three victims, and they have not appeared in the same event before," Jungkook puts down the file, and looks around him, "There is only one thing that links them together to T"

Lisa finishes for him, "The internet. "

Chatterbox asks doubtfully, "But other than Chen Can Lan's incident that caused an uproar online, the previous two victims were ordinary civilians. How did T find out that they caused someone else to lose their life?"

Jungkook inhales his cigarette, and then points and taps on the table, "And how did we find out?"

Everyone is silent.

"The Zhou Family! And Zheng Cheng Zhi's younger brother, Zheng Cheng Da!" Bambam says in shock, "Could it be that they told T? But how did they come to know T?"

Jungkook stares towards the peaceful scenery outside the window, "We'll find out once we invite them over for questioning."

The Zhou Family is brought back to the station first.

Following Lisa's advice, the three members of the family are each brought into separate rooms for questioning. Just as she had thought, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou are completely unaware of the existence of "T." They are just as surprised to hear about Chen Xi Xian's death.

Lisa, carrying two cups of coffee, walks into the room with Zhou Family's youngest daughter, Zhou Si Lin. Lisa had felt something strange about this girl when they met the first time.

Now that she thinks about it, a nineteen-year-old like her is definitely more familiar with the internet than her parents and has a greater chance of meeting T and telling him about her older sister's death.

Zhou Si Lin is still young nonetheless, so she seems to be very nervous; her fingers slide up and down the cup of coffee non-stop. But at the same time. she seems determined.

Lisa takes a sip from her coffee, and asks. "How did you meet him?"

The question catches her off guard. After being stunned for a while, she answers, "Who? Who are you referring to?"

Zhou Si Lin keeps quiet for a few seconds, "I don't know. I don't know that person."

Lisa puts the coffee down. She leans forward and stares directly at her, "Si Lin, right now, this person named T is carrying a sniper rifle and sniping people in the city. He has already killed three people, including Chen Xi Xian. Perhaps you feel that Chen Xi Xian deserved to die, but did you know? T used to be a professional killer, and it's very possible that he is no longer mentally stable. To put it simply, he might be killing people who deserve to die right now, but if we let him continue, who knows when he'll start killing innocent people?"

Zhou Si Lin bites on her lower lip and doesn't say anything.

"I know that you're thankful to him, and want to protect him," Lisa says slowly, "but if you tell us now, you'll actually be helping him before he commits more wrong doings. You don't want T to become an out of control serial killer and be despised by everybody, do you?"
