Chapter 15 The Koi Light Serial Murder Case

The viewers in the live stream were abuzz with discussion after hearing what Master Xuancheng said.

[That's right, since you're so capable, why don't you help solve the case and show us your skills!]

[You're probably just too scared, aren't you? Master Xuancheng's provocation is brilliant!]

[Isn't this supposed to be a face reading contest? We don't even know who the murderer is, how can we tell? This is putting the young girl in a really difficult position.]

Lu Yao listened quietly to what Xuan Cheng Daoist had to say.

She had just arrived in this world and hadn't heard of the Koi Light serial murder case, but she could roughly guess what it was about.

“I understand. Such criminals who endanger society have caused widespread fear. It is my duty to provide the help I can,” Lu Yao said solemnly.

[My God, she actually agreed! This can't be scripted, right? Using something like this for publicity could land you in jail!]

If they can really solve the case, that would be amazing! They'd not only become my idol, but also a benefactor to the entire Liguang City!

Xuancheng Daoist felt a tightness in his heart, not expecting that Lu Yao would actually agree.

He continued his provocation, "Fine, since you've accepted, don't just talk the talk. I'm warning you upfront: if you can't solve the case, don't slink away like a coward. You'll have to admit to everyone in the live stream that what you were doing was nothing but a deceptive trick!"

Lu Yao nodded slightly. "If I cannot solve the case, I will apologize to everyone. However, I would also like to remind Master Xuancheng, if I do solve the case, what will you do then?"

When Lu Yao asked him this question, Master Xuancheng was speechless.

Lu Yao was not intimidated by his provocation; instead, she turned the tables on him.

But the words were already out, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "If you can really solve the case, I, Xuancheng, will quit the internet immediately!!"

[Is the bet this big? This is amazing!]

[After Xuancheng quits, Qianniangangtongwang, why don't you start a live stream? To be honest, I just gave Xuancheng a gift to keep you guys competing, but now that I think about it, it was a waste. I actually wanted to give it to Qianniangangtongwang more, because she really opened my eyes.]

Lu Yao's lips curled up slightly. "Then it's settled. However, just like my name suggests, I'm new to the internet and don't yet fully understand the details and background of this case. To deduce the truth, I need more details."

Indeed, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Don't worry, we'll all provide you with information.

As soon as he finished speaking, the comments section erupted with a flurry of information about the case.

The barrage of comments scrolled wildly, and private messages kept popping up.

The relevant information provided by enthusiastic citizens came in like snowflakes.

Lu Yao carefully flipped through the pages, and gradually, she sketched out the general outline of the Li Guang serial murder case in her mind.

For the past three years, the city has been shrouded in fear every new moon night.

Three cases occurred over three years, and the modus operandi was exactly the same.

The killer always appeared silently like a ghost when the children went out alone or were out of their parents' sight for a brief moment.

The murderer, holding a handkerchief soaked in sedatives, suddenly covered the child's mouth and nose. Before the child could struggle, he was drugged, tied up, and then brutally strangled to death with a thin nylon rope.

The thin nylon rope was the most important clue for the police, and they followed it all the way.

Unfortunately, the thin nylon rope chosen by the murderer is a very common industrial material that is widely available on the market.

These ropes are mass-produced in large factories with numerous manufacturers and complex sales channels, making it difficult to accurately pinpoint the specific production batch and sales location, let alone trace the buyer.

This led to a stalemate in the investigation.

The method of disposing of the body was bizarre and meticulous.

The bodies were cleaned very thoroughly; the killer left no fingerprints or hair. They were all wrapped in black plastic bags and disposed of in some strange places.

The first year it was the abandoned City God Temple stage, the second year it was the wetland park, and the third year, which is this year, the body was found in the old railway station clock tower.

The murderer was very cunning and left no valuable clues at the crime scene.

His modus operandi seemed simple and unpretentious, yet it left the police at a loss, and the locations where he disposed of the bodies were completely random.

Three years have passed, and the murderer is still at large, while the victims' families live in endless pain.

Lu Yao looked at the blurred faces of the family members in the interview video. Although she couldn't see their expressions, she could feel their heartbreak from their trembling voices and convulsing bodies.

If Lu Yao could access the victim's personal belongings, she could use psychic divination techniques to see what the victim saw before her death, and naturally know who the murderer was.

If we use the six lines and eight trigrams, there are no copper coins or trigram lines here.

Lu Yao sighed.

With limited resources, she can only interpret these cold texts and images on the internet to see if there are any clues she can use.

Lu Yao opened a map of Liguang City, where attentive netizens had already circled all the locations where the bodies had been dumped.

She squinted, a familiar feeling welling up inside her.

In an instant, she suddenly realized the connection between these seemingly unrelated locations.

The three locations where the bodies were disposed of correspond to the "Li Palace", "Kun Palace", and "Dui Palace" defect positions in the feng shui formation.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

The murderer was someone with some knowledge of metaphysics and feng shui.

Lu Yao seemed to be deep in thought.

A person who is interested in or understands metaphysics will not make any decisions randomly.

The mystical elements in this case certainly go beyond just the choice of where the body was disposed of.

The three victims all had in common that they were healthy boys aged 7-12.

This reminded Lu Yao of a time when she encountered a wicked cultist in a southern town who also specialized in abducting girls of this age.

However, instead of killing him directly, he was imprisoned in the cellar of a Taoist temple, and his spinal cord blood was extracted at dawn every day to refine elixirs.

That heretic firmly believed that by gathering the seven women of the Yin period, he could refine the Pure Yin Qi Pill recorded in the "Seven Tablets of the Cloudy Bookcase" and ascend to immortality.

Unfortunately, the news report did not mention the victim's birth date and time.

Seeing Lu Yao deep in thought, everyone in the live stream held their breath in tension, afraid of interrupting her train of thought.

Lu Yao raised her head. "I have an idea that needs to be verified. Please wait a moment."
