You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Although this phrase doesn't exist in country M, these police officers understand the principle.

The only way to save these guys' lives is to find the killer. Otherwise, given the killer's past performance, these people will die sooner or later.

Just as Cao Kun was about to make a move, several police officers' cell phones rang simultaneously.

They answered the call, and after only a few words, their expressions changed.

Lake walked over: "Lif, Hughes is dead."

Upon hearing this, Li Fu and the others turned pale and immediately looked at Cao Kun.

Cao Kun said calmly, "Isn't this normal?"

Seeing Cao Kun so calm, the others relaxed a bit.

“That Hughes deserved it. I told him that a million dollars would have saved his life, but he wouldn’t listen.”

"Compared to my own life, what is a million?"

"He even called us stupid, but he was the stupidest one."

These people started talking all at once.

I just spent money on all of that.

Now, they feel that the 1 million was well spent.

They even developed a sense of superiority from it.

Seeing this, those who hadn't paid yet quickly wrote out checks.

Cao Kun refused them: "It's too late."

The men looked ashen-faced, and a woman pleaded, "Master Cao Kun, please accept it. I don't want to die!"

A man also said, "I was wrong just now. I'm sorry, Master Cao Kun. Please forgive my ignorance."

Seeing these people crying and shouting, offering Cao Kun 1 million yuan.

Cao Kun refused to accept it, but they still wouldn't have it, leaving the M country police officers standing nearby with mixed feelings.

What kind of mess is this?

They work themselves to the bone, but they only make so much money a month.

But look at Master Cao Kun, he doesn't charge money and other people are unwilling to accept it.

The difference between people is just too great.

Lake looked at Cao Kun, then at Li Fu, his expression quite complicated.

He now understood why he could only guard outside before, while Cao Kun was able to enter Li Fu's house.

A deep sense of powerlessness rose within him.

"I'll give you a chance because of your sincere attitude."

Cao Kun accepted the checks.

"Thank you, thank you, Master Cao Kun, you are such a good person."

The group was overjoyed, their faces filled with gratitude.

Putting away these six checks, not counting Liv's, Cao Kun has already earned $34 million.

Cao Kun was very pleased with this rate of making money.

It's even more lucrative than making movies.

However, there were seven other people present who could not come up with 1 million.

Cao Kun ignored them and said to the six people who did not have any death aura, "You six, come in with me."

The six people looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt and confusion.

One person asked, "Master Cao Kun, what are you doing?"

Cao Kun: "If you don't want to die, shut up. Do what I tell you to do."

The group dared not ask any more questions and followed Cao Kun to a room next door.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the others, Cao Kun closed the door, and with a flick of his hand, the Myriad Soul Banner appeared.

With a gentle shake, streaks of black light flew out and entered the bodies of several people.

Instantly, their expressions became blank.

Cao Kun began to ask questions.

He went straight to the point: "Are you the murderer who killed them?"

To Cao Kun's surprise, none of the six answers were correct.

This result surprised Cao Kun.

He carefully examined the six people and found that, apart from the absence of death energy, they were all just normal people.

He does not possess any other supernatural powers.

They are now completely controlled by the evil spirits and cannot lie.

There's only one possibility...

Seeing Cao Kun and his group come out of the house so quickly, the crowd outside became even more curious.

I don't know what they did in there.

Cao Kun looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "You are not telling the truth. There was another person besides you that night."

"There's another person?" Everyone immediately looked around at the people around them, but they couldn't remember anyone.

Cao Kun reminded them: "Besides the six of you who came into the room with me just now, all 35 of you have done something."

Think carefully about something that those six people didn't do, but you 35 did.

Upon hearing this, one of the six women, a woman with black hair, said, "Was it taking pictures? I didn't take any pictures that night."

His reminder gave everyone a clear direction.

Cao Kun looked at the other five people who were not dead: "Did you take any photos that night?"

As a result, two people confirmed that they had not taken any photos.

The other three said they were too drunk to remember.

Of the other 35 people, a small number confirmed that they had taken the photos.

Most of them were also drunk and couldn't remember.

At this moment, the black-haired woman suddenly said, "I remember now, there was indeed another person that night. She was carrying a vintage camera and came to take pictures of us."

That night, I had a toothache and my face was a little swollen, so I refused her.

"Yes, yes, there is such a person. She's a woman, brown hair, quite pretty, and tall. I thought she was a model." Someone chimed in.

More and more people remembered, saying that there was such a woman.

"Take a picture." Cao Kun felt that this might be the source of the problem.

Taking photos is something that will definitely happen at a party.

Almost every party, except for some extremely private and special parties, involves people taking photos.

Often, multiple people will take photos, which is perfectly normal, just like drinking and having snacks.

It would be strange if no one had taken a picture.

Therefore, Lifu and the others didn't think that taking photos was something worth paying attention to at all.

Some parties even have professional photographers to document them.

But taking photos is inherently mysterious in metaphysics.

Some older people never take photos.

They believe that taking photos will drain a person's soul.

While it might not happen in reality, it's not impossible to harm someone by taking photos.

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about witchcraft.

One can take a picture of a person and then use it to perform magic.

However, this is something that most people cannot do.

Cao Kun asked, "Who brought this woman who was taking pictures there? What's her name? Can we contact her now?"

The group looked at each other and tried to recall the woman's name, but no one could recall it.

Cao Kun: "None of you recognize the woman who took the photo?"

Lif explained, "It's perfectly normal to have strangers at a party. We don't pay much attention to it; we just assume someone brought them in."

Cao Kun nodded: "It seems the murderer is the woman who took the photos. She used this to sneak into your party and then killed you by taking your pictures."

Of course, her real purpose is to make money off you.

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

"Can taking a photo kill someone?" This was their common question.
