Chapter 023
Lu Xingzhou actually didn't know about the serial murders. It was mainly because his daily life was different and according to the division, he shouldn't be involved in this matter.
However, who could have known that something like this would happen during the Song Dynasty, and that he would end up here by accident.
This serial killer has already killed six people. If he kills one more, it will be seven. The police speculate that this man commits crimes according to the week. If he is released from prison today, he will commit another crime this Sunday if nothing unexpected happens.
The six people before them had their birthdays pushed down to Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week...
Each person died on their birthday. At first, everyone thought it was just a crime of passion. The first two victims had no relationship and were in different areas, so they were not connected.
But when the third one appeared, everyone turned their attention to the case of serial killing.
When the fourth and fifth people appeared, based on the clues, everyone discovered that this person killed people on the victim's birthday, and each person's birthday was in order of the day of the week.
There are now six people, each with a different age, gender, and identity. Apart from the birthday and day of the week, they have no mercy. The target has indeed been locked, but they have no evidence to prove that he is the murderer.
The victims all died from having their necks cut and bleeding. Their expressions were peaceful before death, and traces of drugs were detected on their bodies. It was inferred that the murderer covered the victim's mouth and nose to make him unconscious, then cut his neck with a knife and left him there to die.
After visiting and investigating, they identified four people, and among these four people, they deduced that it was one of them who did it.
However, they have key evidence, and the suspect can explain all the other evidence, which makes them feel very frustrated. Obviously, all they need to do is find the murder weapon, but now they can't find the murder weapon...
The marks on the neck did not appear to be from a large knife, as the cuts tended to be forced to one side.
It is still unclear what the murder weapon was.
Zhou Wutong explained the current case to Lu Xingzhou as they walked, his eyes fixed on the sheriff who was walking forward with his little butt twisted.
Lu Xingzhou frowned as he listened. Six lives were involved, so it was impossible for him not to be moved. He glanced at Zhou Wutong and asked, "What's the name of the suspect?"
"Lian Chengyi."
Lu Xingzhou was stunned, and even Chengyi...
Isn't this the name of the villain in a mystery novel he had read?
He swallowed and looked at Zhou Wutong seriously and asked, "How old is he this year?"
Zhou Wutong was silent for a moment and said, "Twenty-three years old."
He was only 23 years old and still in college. Who would have thought that he was a serial killer.
Lu Xingzhou was completely silent. What was going on? How could a mystery novel suddenly appear in the Overlord Universe? This didn't make sense.
A piece of paper suddenly appeared in Lu Xingzhou's mind, and on the paper, the name of the mystery novel lit up.
Looking at the blank space behind the paper, Lu Xingzhou had a bad feeling.
However, let’s first determine Lian Chengyi’s guilt.
The novel begins with Lian Chengyi successfully escaping the crime, and the murder case becomes an unsolved case. Nineteen years later, the male and female protagonists, who are the victim's family members, grow up and begin to track down the murderer. Because so many years have passed, even though the male and female protagonists have grown up and solved countless unsolved cases, Lian Chengyi is still not caught by them, and the prosecution period has completely passed. This has become a major regret in the novel.
At the end of the story, a man whose birthday was on Sunday died. The male and female protagonists' eyes lit up with regret, and then nothing happened.
Next up is the second part.
Lu Xingzhou quietly opened his system panel. Although there were no customer service staff or intelligent answering personnel on the panel, the merit points clearly displayed on it told him that it was a merit to solve this matter.
Zhou Wutong looked at Lu Xingzhou strangely and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Xingzhou came to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll ask the sheriff."
He looked at the sheriff and asked quietly, "Sheriff, how did you know where the murder weapon was?"
The sheriff turned around and meowed, "We, the Black Cat Sheriff Gang, are not freeloaders."
Lu Xingzhou fell silent. He thought of their family’s bully Crow Gang, the loyal Cat Gang, and the righteous Dog Gang.
Okay, you little animals know how to form cliques, and we humans really have no say in such things as your forming cliques.
After walking with the sheriff for about half an hour, they arrived at a residential building. Zhou Wutong looked up at the residential building in front of him, frowned and said, "It says here that it's Lian Chengyi's home. We searched his house and found nothing."
The sheriff looked at Zhou Wutong with disdain and meowed, "You useless human, the tools are right here, meow~"
Zhou Wutong looked at the sheriff's expression and said, "Xiaoxing, can you translate for me? Is he looking down on me?"
Lu Xingzhou looks at his nose and his nose looks at his eyes. He knows nothing, so don't ask him.
The sheriff meowed and jumped onto a nearby tree. Soon, a number of wild cats gathered around them. Lu Xingzhou blinked at the group of little guys. Zhou Wutong was shocked. He looked at the sheriff looking down at him from the tree and said, "You guys are still forming cliques? This is wrong!!"
The sheriff didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, but waved his paw and asked them to provide clues to Lu Xingzhou.
Lu Xingzhou squatted down, looked at the cats and said, "Line up nicely. One clue and one piece of meat."
He took out the meat strips from his backpack and opened them. The aroma of the meat strips gradually made the cats intoxicated, and they formed a line according to Lu Xingzhou's instructions.
Zhou Wutong looked at the squatting Lu Xingzhou with a complicated expression. He had to admit that this man seemed to really know animal language.
The cats began to provide clues, Lu Xingzhou was responsible for translation, and Zhou Wutong next to him began to look more and more serious as he took out his mobile phone to record it.
After the cats finished providing clues, Zhou Wutong logged onto the intranet and looked at Lian Chengyi's confession. He said excitedly, "It doesn't match! His confession doesn't match the cats' clues!"
This means that Lian Chengyi lied! !
Now, as long as they get the murder weapon, they can file a lawsuit against Lian Chengyi and give him peanuts!
Lu Xingzhou has also been studying the laws here recently. Some of the laws here are the same as theirs, while others are different.
He probably had some number in mind, but as for what it was, Lu Xingzhou said it didn't matter.
The clues provided by the cats were all seen with their own eyes. After all, Lian Chengyi would be wary of humans and surveillance, but he would not be wary of cats.
After all, cats can't talk, right? He didn't expect that a human who can understand cats' talk would meddle in other people's business.
