C1 Genius Cute Baby!
Night Capital.
In a shopping mall's underground parking lot.
Both exits were cordoned off by the police.
In the center of the parking lot, a body lay covered with a white cloth.
A crowd had gathered around the body, awaiting their turn to be questioned by the officers.
"Uncle, I know who the killer is!" A cute baby, appearing to be only four or five years old, wriggled through the crowd and tugged at the clothes of the tall man the police referred to as "Boss."
Dongfang Chuanyang looked down and was immediately captivated by the cute baby.
Such a beautiful child!
Dressed in white sportswear, the baby had delicate features, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and large, sparkling eyes. His skin was soft and dewy, irresistibly pinchable.
Dongfang Chuanyang, in a good-natured manner, knelt on one knee and asked softly, "Oh? Tell me, what did you see?"
"I didn't see anything, but I have a guess!" The cute baby raised his plump little finger and pointed at the crowd opposite him. "The murderer is that auntie wearing a white hat!"
Dongfang Chuanyang followed the direction of the little finger.
Among the crowd, a woman in her forties or fifties looked back at the cute baby with a mix of panic and irritation. "You little rascal, what are you spouting?"
She then turned to Dongfang Chuanyang, "Officer, please don't take him seriously. What does a four or five-year-old kid know? He's still wet behind the ears!"
"My brother isn't spouting nonsense!" Another cute baby stepped forward from the crowd.
This baby was dressed in sportswear like his brother's, but in black instead of white.
"Hello, Uncle. My name is Tang Chengque, and this is my brother, Tang Chengjue," the little guy said as he approached Dongfang Chuanyang and politely extended his small, pale hand in greeting.
Despite being only four or five years old, he conducted himself with the poise of a little gentleman.
Dongfang Chuanyang couldn't help but smile, reaching out to shake the offered hand. "Hello there."
"Uncle, my brother isn't lying—the lady in the white hat is the murderer!" Tang Chengque said to Dongfang Chuanyang with grave seriousness.
Dongfang Chuanyang had also sensed something off about the hat-wearing woman, but he was curious to hear why the two cute babies were so convinced she was the culprit.
He looked at the two little guys with interest and asked, "Why are you so certain that she's the murderer?"
"Because it's overcast today, yet she's wearing a sun hat. Plus, we're in an underground parking lot where it's really dark, and she still won't take her hat off!" Tang Chengjue explained in his sweet, childlike tone.
"Her outfit is very chic, which shows she likes to dress up. But she's wearing a ladylike dress with a sporty sun hat. Someone who cares about their appearance wouldn't mix styles like that. It means the hat doesn't match her dress; she must have put it on in a hurry," Tang Chengque stated with conviction.
Tang Chengjue squatted next to the body, pointing at the high heels on the corpse's right foot, and said, "The heel on the right is much cleaner than the one on the left, which suggests it was deliberately wiped clean."
Tang Chengque, with a stern look on his little face, continued, "I suspect the victim had an altercation with the hat-wearing lady. The victim took off her high heel to use as a weapon and struck the lady's head, causing it to bleed. The lady, angered by the victim, then killed her. After the victim died, the lady put the shoes back on her and cleaned the blood off the heels."
