Chapter 114 Solving the Case Together

"Lu Chi?"

Yu Qing's voice carried a hint of surprise; he never expected Lu Chi to be here.

Lu Chi was slightly taken aback when he saw him.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Qing put away her flashlight and walked over.

"I...I came to take a look," Lu Chi stammered.

Yu Qing looked at the memory card in his hand and suddenly understood his purpose.

Yu Qing smiled slightly, patted Lu Chi's shoulder gently, and said, "It seems we're on the same page. You also think the murderer would overlook this place?"

Lu Chi nodded: "Mm."

"You should have asked me to come along?" Yu Qing sighed.

"I'm afraid there might be danger," Lu Chi said hesitantly.

"Aren't you in danger all by yourself?" Yu Qing raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"I'm not afraid." Lu Chi raised his head, his eyes firm, a firmness Yu Qing had only seen when he joined the group.

“But I’m afraid something will happen to you. Next time, you must discuss it with me, understand?” Yu Qing’s tone was serious. He knew that Lu Chi was very worried about him, but he kept it to himself and didn’t say anything. This made him feel a subtle and complicated emotion that was hard to describe.

"Yes, I heard you." Lu Chi nodded seriously.

"Now that we have the memory card, let's go."

After saying that, Yu Qing was about to go downstairs when Lu Chi suddenly grabbed her arm: "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Yu Qing frowned.

"Someone's coming." Lu Chi made a shushing gesture.

Yu Qing immediately tensed up and listened carefully.

The surroundings were completely silent.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded from the stairwell, as if someone was rushing towards the rooftop.

Yu Qing and Lu Chi exchanged a glance, a hint of tension flashing in their eyes. They quickly hid in a corner of the rooftop, held their breath, and waited quietly.

The footsteps grew closer...

Finally, a figure appeared on the rooftop.

By the dim moonlight, Yu Qing and Lu Chi could see that it was a person wearing a black hoodie, with the brim pulled low, making it impossible to see their face.

The man walked straight to the camera, reached for the memory card, and found that it was gone.

He paused for a moment, then his face showed an angry expression. He kicked the railing at the edge of the rooftop twice, scratched his hair in frustration, and stood there, seemingly lost in thought.

Yu Qing narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered in Lu Chi's ear, her tone tinged with urgency: "Should we make a move?"

Lu Chi felt a tickle in his ears and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around, his eyes scanning the darkness.

Now!

Without hesitation, Lu Chi rushed out from his hiding place and pounced on the man.

He knew he couldn't give him time to react, especially with such a highly alert killer. Even a second's hesitation could lead to an accident, so he had to subdue him as quickly as possible.

But the next second, something unexpected happened; the other person's reflexes were faster than he had expected.

The instant Lu Chi charged forward, he had already created distance, leaped backward, and nimbly dodged Lu Chi's attack.

The moonlight shone on him, and a dangerous glint flashed in his narrowed eyes.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qing quickly stood guard at the stairwell exit.

This is the only exit for the other party to go downstairs. Unless the other party has a death wish and jumps off the rooftop, he is not afraid that the other party will not come.

The other party was clearly wary upon seeing the two of them.

He slowly took a step back, pulled a small knife from his waist, and stared coldly at Lu Chi.

"Watch out, he has a knife."

Yu Qing couldn't help but loudly remind him from the side.

Lu Chi didn't speak; his attention was entirely focused on this person, and his expression became quite solemn.

The other party made the first move, stabbing Lu Chi with a small knife in his hand.

Lu Chi reacted quickly, dodging the attack by sidestepping, and at the same time reached out to grab the other person's wrist. He suddenly realized that the other person's wrist was more slender than he had imagined.

Seeing that his hand had been grabbed, the man took the knife from his right hand with his left and swung it at Lu Chi's neck again. Lu Chi had no choice but to let go of the man's hand to dodge.

During the battle, Lu Chi gradually realized that although his opponent was agile, he was clearly not as strong as him.

The man hadn't expected the skinny boy in front of him to be so good at fighting. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes. He suddenly struggled free from Lu Chi's grasp and turned to run towards Yu Qing.

Lu Chi was shocked.

He chased after him desperately, trying to stop him.

But the distance was too far, and Lu Chi didn't have time to get there.

Yu Qing saw the knife in the other person's hand and felt a little scared, but he knew that this was his only chance to catch the murderer, and he could not back down.

So, he mustered his courage and charged at the other party.

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death."

Without even glancing at him, the other person stabbed him directly with a knife.

Yu Qing was prepared. He first dodged the opponent's knife, then seized the opening and grabbed the opponent. A fragrance wafted over, but he didn't care. He slammed the opponent against the wall with him.

The other party grunted.

The hat was about to fall off.

He quickly reached out to hold up his hat.

Yu Qing had just looked up and hadn't even seen the other person's face when the other person swung the knife at him again.

Yu Qing could only roll to the side. The blade sliced ​​through his clothes and came within millimeters of his skin, but he narrowly escaped.

The man scrambled to his feet and ran downstairs.

Yu Qing wanted to get up and chase after him, but Lu Chi grabbed her arm.

Lu Chi shook his head at him: "No need to chase after them."

"Damn it, it was so close."

Yu Qing was quite annoyed.

Lu Chi looked at Yu Qing's clothes, which were torn by the knife, and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

Yu Qing glanced down at his sleeve, which had a long gash from the knife cut, and calmly waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing."

“You should have let him go just now,” Lu Chi said.

"That's not a good point of you to say. You're fighting all alone at the front, and you want me to be a deserter? Are you kidding me?" Yu Qing said with some dissatisfaction.

"But it's too dangerous."

"Catching bad guys is never without danger." Yu Qing laughed and put his arm around Lu Chi's shoulder, teasingly saying, "How was it? Wasn't I handsome just now? Were you charmed by me?"

"Handsome." Lu Chi nodded politely.
