"Who is that person?" Zhao Chuqiao's tone became more urgent as she instinctively sensed that the "person" mentioned by Zhang Huai Xuan might be closely related to Wuyunhan's disappearance. Zhang Huai Xuan lowered her head, her gaze drifting, seemingly hesitating over whether to speak. She clenched her hands tightly, her fingertips turning white, clearly undergoing a fierce internal struggle.
"Miss Huai Xuan, please tell me who that person is. Just tell me; it will help with your case," Zhao Chuqiao patiently persuaded, trying to break through Zhang Huai Xuan's fear. She observed Zhang Huai Xuan's expression, searching for clues in her subtle changes.
"I... I can't say..." Zhang Huai Xuan's voice trembled as if she were under immense pressure, her face filled with fear and unease. She raised her head, her gaze evasively looking out the window as if trying to escape something.
"I know you are scared, but you must trust me. Only by speaking the truth can you be helped," Zhao Chuqiao stood up and walked to Zhang Huai Xuan's side, gently patting her shoulder in an attempt to reassure her. She understood that Zhang Huai Xuan's silence was not just fear; there was a deeper terror within her. She needed to find more clues to help Zhang Huai Xuan open up.
"Tiantongyuan Community..." Zhang Huai Xuan suddenly murmured softly, her eyes filled with confusion and fear as if recalling something. Zhao Chuqiao's eyes lit up; she immediately seized this key word and asked, "What else do you remember?"
Zhang Huai Xuan's lips trembled; she seemed to want to answer but hesitated. In the end, she closed her eyes and said nothing. She merely lowered her head and gently stroked the necklace around her neck, as if seeking comfort and strength.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuqiao did not press further but turned to Li Mian and whispered, "Let's go to Tiantongyuan Community first; we might find some clues."
Li Mian nodded; he understood Zhao Chuqiao's thoughts, and they decided to head to the community for investigation. They left the room and walked downstairs.
"Are you sure about what the man looked like?" Li Mian asked as they walked.
"Yes, I remember very clearly. I saw a man; he was wearing a hat and black clothes, looking very suspicious..." Zhang Huai Xuan raised her head, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes as if recalling something.
"Can you describe his physical features?" Zhao Chuqiao asked.
"I, I... I can only remember his hat and clothes..." Zhang Huai Xuan's tone became weaker, as she seemed to fall into fear.
"It's okay, take your time. As long as you can provide some clues, we will be able to find him," Zhao Chuqiao encouraged Zhang Huai Xuan.
Li Mian walked over to Zhao Chuqiao and whispered, "Let's go to Tiantongyuan Community first and see if we can find this man."
Zhao Chuqiao nodded, firmly remembering Zhang Huai Xuan's description. She decided to head to the community to look for witnesses in an attempt to locate the man.
They searched for a taxi on the street, preparing to head to the community.
"That community is not very safe," Li Mian said quietly while watching the cars pass by.
"I've heard that many strange things happen there; a lot of people say it's haunted," Zhao Chuqiao nodded. She knew that Tiantongyuan Community had a bad reputation, and many people avoided it.
Li Mian looked at Zhao Chuqiao with a hint of concern in his eyes and said softly, "Let's be careful."
Zhao Chuqiao nodded. She understood that Li Mian's worries were not unfounded, and she was prepared to face any challenges that might arise.
"Driver, please take us to Tiantongyuan Community," Zhao Chuqiao said as she hailed a taxi.
The taxi driver nodded and drove towards the community.
They took a taxi to the entrance of the community. The surrounding environment appeared very desolate, with hardly any pedestrians on the street, and the nearby buildings looked dilapidated.
"It looks quite eerie here," Li Mian said quietly as she observed the surroundings.
"Indeed, there is an indescribable sense of oppression," Zhao Chuqiao nodded, sensing the hidden danger in the environment around them.
