Chapter 25.2

This gave the Special Case Investigation Team, which had just arrived and was ready to do a big job, a blow. “Now we can determine that the murderer definitely has some way of traveling that surpasses ordinary transportation tools. This is likely to be one of the important reasons why we can’t find out his route in and out of the murder scene.”

“Unless, the murderer is not a person, but a gang —— if we rule out supernatural factors.”

“Is it likely that the murderer is a gang, is this your conclusion?” The reporter who came to the news asked.

——The Special Case Investigation Team had just arrived, and there was another murder, and it was even more serious than the previous ones. How could this not cause a sensation? How could it not let reporters come to chase?

The Special Case Investigation Team, which was chased by reporters, had no intention of answering their questions. After all, this was not official media, but some reporters who followed the trend and hyped up hot news.

The latter, however, was not so easy to get rid of. Not only did they persist in entangling, but their words seemed to suspect that the Special Case Investigation Team might return without success, and it seemed that the murderer was omnipotent.

The youngest member of the investigation team couldn’t help himself and blurted out, “It’s just a sneaky gang. That so-called serial killer is probably just a nameless pawn pushed out to deceive and scare the public. It’s only a matter of time before we catch him!”

The reporter quickly snapped a few photos, excitedly recording his words, and couldn’t help but repeat to confirm, “The murderer is likely to be a gang, is this your conclusion? So you already have confidence in solving the case?”

The impulsive young man knew he had misspoken, frowned at the reporter, and seemed to find it hard to change his words due to face, so he had to maintain an arrogant posture and nodded, “Of course!”

Liu Ningshuang was dumbfounded in the back. She didn’t come to her senses until the reporters dispersed.

Li Fufeng patted her on the shoulder, and Liu Ningshuang finally came back to her senses. Her gaze kept darting towards the guy who had just spoken, and she couldn’t help but blurt out a curse in a low voice, “Where the hell did this idiot come from!”

Li Fufeng shook his head, took advantage of the others not paying attention to them, and lowered his voice, “His surname is Chu, and his name is Xingrui.”

Liu Ningshuang looked puzzled, “So what?”

“…The current monarch’s name is Chu Xingbang.”

Liu Ningshuang subconsciously wanted to say something, but quickly covered her mouth. Her eyes that were exposed outside turned around, showing a look of sudden realization.

“No wonder, he came here through the back door to gild!”

Li Fufeng didn’t say anything more.

He didn’t think that the top would specifically stuff someone into the Special Case Investigation Team to gild —— if they really wanted to gild, this was obviously not the best place. Besides, now that the real power is in the hands of the cabinet, even a monarch cannot send his own people here without the permission of the cabinet. Is the cabinet going to play with such an important case?

The delicate-minded him observed for a moment and found that the other members of the Special Case Investigation Team had a lukewarm relationship with Chu Xingrui, but no one stopped him from boasting just now.

It seemed to have an attitude of letting him provoke and test.

Thinking of the possible “supernatural event”, the always delicate-minded Li Fufeng had a guess.

If the existence of supernatural power is really discovered, it is undoubtedly a “new weapon” that can affect the current social order. Whether it is the cabinet or the royal family, they will definitely want to grasp it in their hands for the first time, rather than being excluded, leading to a step behind, and falling behind step by step.

Just as when the industrial age came, Yao Country was the first country to make changes and take control of its own destiny.

So this Chu Xingrui, who seems to have come in through the back door to gild, is likely to be a representative sent by the royal family. And the cabinet, in view of the face of the monarch, also turned a blind eye to this and tacitly approved his joining.

In that case, Chu Xingrui is definitely not a blockhead. Even if he doesn’t know how to solve the case, he wouldn’t be so reckless.

…So was the provocation just now deliberate?

…Did he want to take the initiative to provoke the murderer to act in an irrational way, so as to find more flaws and clues?

Considering the arrogant self-personality model of the murderer that was written out before, this approach seems reckless, but it is not without hope. What if it succeeds?

But for some reason, Li Fufeng had a premonition that this was mostly going to fail.

It’s not that the murderer won’t be provoked, but he thinks that the so-called flaws and clues are not so easy to get.

Li Fufeng’s premonition was soon confirmed.

Just a few days later, on another rainy night, six victims appeared in Yuanyang City overnight. Compared with the last time, the number of people doubled, and the direction was spread across the east, south, west, and north.

What was different from before was that this time, there were survivors.

Six victims, and six survivors. They all had a face-to-face encounter with the murderer at the time of the crime.

Their descriptions were exactly the same as those of the mother and son.

Black long coat, black umbrella, and that special light golden half-length hair, and the emerald green pupils that were different from the people of Yao Country… The murderer’s appearance and dress have not changed for thousands of years, even if he has been wanted by the police, he was still so arrogant and high-profile, without a trace of disguise.

And among these six survivors, one was special.

The others were not the targets of the murderer, and were purely innocent. But he should have been one of the targets of the murderer, but he survived after another target was killed.

——This person initially wanted to push the death of the victim onto the serial killer, but the police of course could not be so easily deceived, and quickly determined the truth through the wounds on the victim, and arrested this person as a suspect.

Even though he was already in the police station, this man was still shivering, his heart full of fear, he stuttered and recalled the scenes that had happened not long ago.

“At two o’clock in the afternoon, the victim Yue invited you to his house as a guest. After dinner, because it was raining outside, you were worried about encountering danger on the road, so you stayed in the guest room overnight, right?”

“…Yes.”

“What happened after that?”

“After that, after that…”

The man’s voice was vague, and the sound of raindrops outside the police station window that had not yet stopped seemed to take him back to the night not long ago.

“That night, I had too much to drink. As soon as I entered the guest room, I wanted to fall asleep. I suddenly heard a knock on the door outside. I thought it was Yue Feng looking for me, so I went to open the door, only to find that there was another person besides Yue Feng…”

…….

“Good evening, sir!” The blond man who appeared at the door gave him a slight smile, his demeanor elegant. And Yue Feng, with a look of horror and stiffness on his face, stood motionless in front of that man, like a rabbit hanging in a tiger’s mouth.

At that time, his head was dizzy and he hadn’t reacted to what had happened. Instead, he staggered forward, “Yue Feng, are you looking for me? Why don’t you come in? And this one…”

He was about to reach out to pull Yue Feng, but his whole body suddenly stiffened.

He saw the black muzzle behind the other man. The muzzle slowly moved up, aiming at him.

……

“…At that time, my head exploded all of a sudden, it really felt like I was thrown into ice water, and I woke up from the state of drunkenness. At this time, looking at that person’s dress, how could I not guess who he was…”

In the police station, the man’s voice was somewhat weak.

His gaze once again fell into a trance.

……

“Ah, have you recognized me?” Noticing his gaze, K sighed lightly, “This is really distressing.”

Although he said so, the weapon in his hand kept moving between the two people, aiming at this one for a while, and that one for a while, making the other two people stand stiffly on the spot, not daring to make any movements.

——Even though there were two of them, but with their understanding of the speed of bullets, if anyone tried to rush, they would definitely be hit before they could even touch the other’s clothes. This might create a little time for the other person to escape or counterattack, but what use would it be for the person who had already fallen?

They obviously didn’t want to be the one to sacrifice for their companions.

…….

In the police station, the man’s trance-like voice continued, “At that time, we all dared not act rashly, we could only beg that person, we were willing to give up all our property, we were willing to do anything, as long as we could save our lives.”

“And then?”

“Then?” The man gritted his teeth, “That devil!”

“——He said, he was only prepared to kill one person.”

…….

The bright light in the guest room couldn’t dispel the darkness around, in the eyes of the two stiff people, the shadow under the feet of this uninvited guest seemed to be constantly spreading, covering everything in front of them.

K, with his elegant demeanor, smiled slightly, “I came here, just prepared to kill one person.”

——Since there was only one target, it could only be the owner here, not the occasional overnight guest.

The expressions of the two people who were originally stiff changed in unison.

Just one showed horror, and the other relaxed.

K’s gaze circled around the two people, seeming to find it extremely interesting, and finally landed on the man who had breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s a pity that the accident of fate made you appear here tonight, which perfectly fits my aesthetics.”

This time, the expressions on the faces of the two people exchanged.

And K once again changed his tone, making the two people show fear again, “Ah, two choices, but tonight I have already visited five guests, now I only need to make up six, who should I choose? It’s really distressing.”

His gaze was moving back and forth on the two people, and when it fell on someone, it made that person’s heart beat faster.

“Why not the old way?” K suddenly took out a strange coin from his pocket, looked at Yue Feng near the door, “Do you like the front or the back?”

“Ah, ah? Front, no, back?”

K looked at the other person, “Then you are the front.”

The coin was thrown high into the air, and then fell into his palm, his smile was perfectly curved, “I only need one dead person. Three minutes later, if there are still two living people here, then let fate decide, who lives and who dies~”

As he said this, he slowly retreated a few steps, leaving enough space for the other two people.

He elegantly stretched out his hand forward, as if to say: The stage is temporarily given to you, next it’s your turn to perform.

Whoosh——!

In the pouring rain outside the window, there was a flash of lightning, illuminating two faces mixed with horror, embarrassment, and ferocity.

They were reflected in each other’s eyes.

……

With a flash of lightning, there was a thunderous roar between heaven and earth.

The man’s weak and embarrassed face was illuminated by the lightning.

“Huff…huff…huff…”

He was panting hard, as if trying to dispel the fear accumulated in his heart, “I didn’t mean it, I really didn’t mean it, it was that person who forced me, it was him who forced me!”

“If I didn’t kill Yue Feng, I would die!”

“——I didn’t mean it!”

Watching the man’s emotions gradually collapse, with both real fear and afterthought, and deliberately disguised to gain sympathy, the police officer in charge of the interrogation temporarily stopped recording and put down the pen in his hand.

When the man’s emotions were calmed down and he was a bit calmer, he continued to ask, “What happened next? Do you have anything else to add?”

The man tried hard to remember, suddenly his eyes lit up, hesitated and said, “…I remember. Before he left, he wanted me to help bring a message to the police.”

The policeman’s expression became serious, “What message?”

“——Thank you for your hospitality, it’s an honor.”
