Zhu Xiaoyue was working on a case, a serial kidnapping case.
Every victim was a young woman, and just last week, another woman had been abducted.
After reviewing the surveillance footage, Zhu Xiaoyue discovered that the kidnapped woman was forcefully taken away by a van at the subway exit.
Before the woman was abducted, she had seen a man at the subway entrance who had given her a particularly large doll.
Not long after the man left, the woman holding the doll was kidnapped.
Instinct told Zhu Xiaoyue that there was something very wrong with this man.
She investigated the man's identity and learned that his name was Liu Ming, a non-local who used to be a bricklayer at a construction site in Ling City, but for some unknown reason had stopped working, and till today when Zhu Xiaoyue came looking for him, he was still unemployed.
Zhu Xiaoyue walked through an alley and looked up to see the house right in front of her.
