Chapter 114 Portrait Artist



"Oh my god, did you hear that?"

"The killer committed seven cases, all of which were extremely cruel. He dismembered young women in various ways, either fixing them in cement to build walls or chopping them into minced meat and flushing them down the drain."

"If the sewer hadn't been blocked, no one would have noticed!"

"How did you find out while building the wall?"

"It was said that there was a foul smell, and then the owner was going to knock down the wall, and as a result... the wall collapsed and the skull cap came out."

People on the street were talking about the latest hot case.

"The most important thing is that it is said that there is no clue about the murderer now!"

"This is too creepy!"

An old white car drove past on the street, speeding towards Huangshanling.

Inside the car.

"The murderer is so arrogant, didn't you find any clues?"

Along the way, after listening to Du Xing talking about the case for a long time, Du Zhirou couldn't help but ask.

Du Xing spread his hands: "Where can I find clues?"

"I've checked all the surveillance footage from the past year, but there's not a single clue. As for the surveillance footage from last year, it must have been deleted long ago."

"Judging from the bodies, these are things that happened last year."

"The person has been missing for so long, how come no one has even reported it?" Du Zhirou asked.

Du Xing sighed: "I reported it as a missing person, and then I looked for him, but I didn't find him, so in the end, it was left unresolved."

"Hearing from the relatives, I thought at worst he was abducted to Myanmar, but who knew he was dead."

"The youngest among them is only eighteen."

"I don't know which madman targeted me during my best years of youth, and it all went to waste."

"From what you said, they are not of the same age?" Louis asked in surprise.

Du Xing nodded: "It's because they are not in the same age group. There are all kinds of people, from college students to cleaning ladies. There is no connection between them. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with it."

"Of course, generally speaking, we wouldn't be called upon to take action in such a situation, but the problem is that we detected energy quantum fluctuations around their bodies, and we preliminarily determined that the murderer was a mutant, so I came here in person to participate in the investigation. After all, this area is under my jurisdiction."

Du Xing shrugged, holding the steering wheel with both hands, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.

"Random killings? Is the murderer a psychopath?" Du Zhirou complained.

Du Xing shook his head: "Who knows? Maybe. After all, there are a lot of neurotic people like this in the Court of All Living Beings, right?"

"It's normal to have a few wild ones occasionally."

Louis supported his chin with one hand and looked out the window, but the murderous intent in his eyes became more pure.

It’s true.

There is one thing in the world that is always abundant, and that is garbage.

No matter how you clean, new garbage will appear.

"Then where are we going now? After talking for so long, you still haven't mentioned the crime scene." Du Zhirou asked.

Du Xing reached out for the cigarette in his arms and wanted to light one, but perhaps he thought of something in the past, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then his hand froze for a moment when it touched the cigarette, and then his empty hand fell back to the steering wheel.

The voice was a little tired: "Huangshanling."

"The crime scene we are going to is Huangshanling."

......

"Huangshan Ridge ~ 800 miles."

“It was once a rich land outside the Great Wall.”

"Once a rat infestation arises out of nowhere, the air is filled with smoke and no one is around."

A rap came from the mouth of a beggar in rags, accompanied by a sanxian in his hand, it was so authentic.

A tourist nearby joked: "This is Huangshan Ridge, not Huangfeng Ridge. This is not Journey to the West, and there won't be yellow-haired rats."

The beggar smiled and said, "This is not Journey to the West. There is no yellow-haired rat, but it is filled with smoke and no trace of people. This murder case happened out of nowhere."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tourists' faces turned pale. It would be fine if this kind of murder did not happen near their homes, but it happened right in Linjiang. It would be a lie for them to say they were not afraid.

After all, who knows who the next murderer's target will be?

The tourist smiled awkwardly: "In the end, the yellow-haired rat was defeated by Tang Seng and his four companions. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Young man, but before the yellow-haired rat was defeated, it ate a lot of people - do you want to be the next one?" The beggar held the erhu in his hand and glanced at the road not far away. Then he put his hands behind his back, stopped talking, and walked away towards another road.

"Magic..." The tourist scratched his head, said this, and without saying anything more, he left with the others.

Yellow sand filled the air and strong winds blew.

The sun is high in the sky, it is noon.

A yellowish white car drove up the sandy road.

The beggars and tourists who were originally chatting and laughing have long since disappeared.

The car drove onto the mountain and after several twists and turns, it finally stopped in front of a yellow warning line.

The captain, who was originally standing outside the warning line and directing everyone, saw the white rickshaw coming and immediately saluted straight, "Hello, superior!"

"Hahaha, I went to pick up my daughter, so I took some time. They belong to the special operations organization like me. Let's go inside and talk in detail." Du Xing briefly introduced Louis and Du Zhirou who were following behind him.

Xi Bin's originally strange look finally disappeared.

It turned out that the two young people were subordinates of the superior, and one of them was the superior's biological daughter.

"Yes, sir."

"What are your names?" Xi Bin asked.

Louis said politely, "Excuse me, my last name is Lu."
