Chapter 97 Rainy Night
On a stormy night, lightning flashed across the sky like a sharp blade, followed by rumbling thunder.
The rain curtain covered this lonely city like a curtain. Li You didn't let Yin Xuanyou drive. He threw his cell phone to Yin Xuanyou and said, "Listen to the voice on the other end."
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, the roar of the engine intertwined with the thunder, and Yoon Hyun-woo tried to put his ear close to the phone to listen to the sound over there.
The surrounding scenery flashed by rapidly, and the puddles formed by the rain on the ground splashed water after being run over by the tires.
"President!" Yoon Hyunwoo lowered his voice and pointed at the phone, indicating that a voice was coming from the other side.
He put the phone to Li You's ear, and heavy breathing was heard. Li You listened with a frown.
This heavy breathing sound is not the breathing of a normal person. It only sounds like this for people who have experienced strenuous exercise or have been injured.
He took a look at the road conditions. Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road on the rainy night, so he was almost there.
"Hmm?" A male voice came from the other end of the phone, and then the phone was hung up.
Li You did not encounter any obstacles along the way, but the railings in the villa area were still closed. After grabbing the phone, he glanced at Yin Xuanyou and asked, "Did you bring your phone?"
Seeing Yin Xuanyou nodded, Li You threw the keys to him and said, "You stay here to watch the car. Call Dou Ri and the others and ask them to bring someone over."
"Yes, President."
Li You actually ran faster on the winding roads in the villa area.
When he arrived at the villa where Mou Xianmin lived, the glass in the living room was open and rain was pouring in. Li You climbed in through the window and then walked along the corridor to the study.
The door of the study was ajar, the lights in the room were turned off, and only a dim desk lamp was on. Rain water drifted in through the open window, wetting an ink-splashed landscape painting hanging on the opposite wall.
The bookshelves around were filled with all kinds of books, the table was littered with the manuscript that Mou Xianmin had just read, and a few pages of paper were scattered on the floor.
He squinted at the window, turned back to the corridor and walked towards Mou Xianmin's bedroom.
The bedroom door was locked. Li You listened to the noise inside and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's me, Li You."
The door was opened by Mou Xianmin from inside. The light in the bedroom was off. She was huddled in her loose pajamas with a vigilant look.
She relaxed when she saw Li You. She looked around and asked, "He's gone?"
"I didn't see it." Li You shook his head. He smelled blood in the study. Someone must have been injured and fled here.
Mou Xianmin pulled Li You into the bedroom and turned on the light. "It was a man in black, wearing a baseball cap."
"I climbed in through the living room window and happened to see him from the study window. The study and the living room are quite close, so I didn't have time to say more to you."
"It's an unexpected disaster," Li You shook his head, "He was injured and wanted to hide here for a while."
"He found out the phone was on, and he probably left after that."
Mou Xianmin sat on the bed. Her long eyelashes could not hide the fear in her eyes. Her black hair fell casually on her shoulders. Her thin lips were tightly pursed, as if she was suppressing some strong emotion.
"Have you not watched the news recently? It's been broadcast on TV recently that the serial killer in Cheonan may have wandered to Seoul."
"Serial killer?" Li You really hadn't paid attention to it recently.
"That's why I'm scared," Mou Xianmin rolled his eyes, recovering a little from the shock, "That kind of pervert doesn't seek money."
Li You looked at Mou Xianmin. Winter was coming, and the long-sleeved pajamas she was wearing were fluffy and looked thick.
The pajamas were very long, but the white feet stepping on the floor were eye-catching, without a trace of extra flesh, perfectly symmetrical, with a high arch.
Mou Xianmin noticed Li You's gaze, tapped the ground lightly with her toes, and raised her feet. The red nail polish on her feet made her look like a butterfly stepping on morning dew, light yet powerful.
"What's wrong? Are you disappointed?" Mou Xianmin blinked.
"I am the one who disappointed Miss Mou?" Li You turned around, "Then I'll leave?"
Mou Xianmin rushed forward and grabbed Li You, "Ah! Li You!"
"What's wrong?" Li You turned around and looked at her with a smile.
Mou Xianmin bit her lip, ".I'm scared."
A smile appeared in Li You's eyes. "Rest assured, my people will be here soon."
He watched Mou Xianmin get into bed, he took out his phone and called Yin Xuanyou, "Is there anyone who found anything wrong?"
"No, President." Yoon Hyun-woo locked the car door tightly. He was also scared.
"Wait for Dou Ri and the others to come and search the surrounding area." Li You frowned and glanced out the window.
The rain continued, so he changed his words, "They won't be able to find anything with this much rain."
"Tell them to drive around the villa area and stop anyone who behaves strangely."
After instructing Yoon Hyun-woo, he called Park Jun-mo.
The person who answered the phone was Park Joon-mo, who was still half asleep. "Lee Yoo? What's wrong?"
Hearing Park Junmo's dazed voice, Li You felt helpless. After all, it was a little late now. "Do you know the serial killer on TV recently?"
Park Junmo on the other end of the phone got excited when he heard this. He came to his senses and said, "I know. I heard that he has killed nearly ten people, and they were all random crimes."
Park Junmo scratched his head. "He came to Seoul and messed with you? Are you so blind?"
Li You smiled and said, "If he messed with me, I would have delivered him to my brother by now."
"Don't do that," Park Junmo waved his hand, "I don't want this kind of credit. I just want to climb up the ladder honestly now. This kind of credit will be left to the police who need it."
"Do you know the motive of this murderer?" Li You glanced at Mou Xianmin lying on the bed. Mou Xianmin, who was always aloof, now looked pitiful.
"You don't understand this, do you?" Park Junmo explained, "This serial killer kills indiscriminately, picking people at random. There was a gas station driver who was stabbed more than ten times by him, and his stomach was pierced."
"He committed a crime again tonight," Li You recalled the last smell of blood in the study, "He must have been injured, and then broke into my friend's house in Mapo District and hid for a while."
"Injured?" Park Junmo frowned. "Wait a moment, I'll go check it out."
A few minutes after hanging up the phone, Park Junmo called back and said, "I asked colleagues in these districts, and it's strange. No one reported the case."
"No one reported it to the police?" Li You sat down beside Mou Xianmin's bed. "What usually happens in this situation?"
"Generally, the victim was killed, and the place of death was very secret, so there were no witnesses for the time being." Park Junmo talked freely, "and the killer was injured during the killing process."
Li You was silent for a while, "Thank you, Junmo brother."
"You're welcome," Park Junmo yawned, "Remember to ask your friend to call the police."
The call was hung up. Li You frowned and thought for a while, "Do you know anyone in the hospital nearby?"
"Me?" Mou Xianmin thought for a moment, "The director of Shunyang Hospital and the director of Zhou Hospital. Both hospitals are nearby."
"Call them and ask if there are any new patients admitted tonight, the kind with artificial injuries."
Mou Xianmin sat on the bed, nodded slightly, and then reached out his hand, "My phone is not in the bedroom, otherwise I would have called you a long time ago."
Li You was speechless. He put the phone in Mou Xianmin's palm and said, "Ask quickly. This will eliminate one possibility."
"OK."
Mou Xianmin dialed the first number, "Is this Director Zheng from Shunyang Hospital?"
"I am Mou Xianmin from Xiancheng Daily, this is it."
After a while, the call came back. Mou Xianmin picked up the phone and shook his head at Li You, "Thank you, President Zheng."
After saying the polite words, she hung up the phone with a frown on her face, "Shunyang Hospital has not received any injured patients."
"Let me ask the Zhou Hospital," she dialed the number, "Is this Director Zhou?"
"I am."
She mechanically asked her question and received an unexpected answer, "Is there a casualty with a knife wound tonight?"
Mou Xianmin's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li You, "Would you mind telling me your name?"
"Zhang Dongxiu, right?" Mou Xianmin smiled, "Thank you, Dean Zhou."
Li You frowned, thinking that he was just an ordinary serial killer, but if this name came out.
Zhang Dongxiu, the protagonist of the movie "The Devil", another story that appeared ahead of time.
He took the phone that Mou Xianmin returned and then called Ding Qing.
"Brother!" Ding Qing called out comfortably, "After you left, Zicheng and I came to the bathhouse to take a bath. Do you want to come back?"
"Old Ding," Li You asked him, "Do you know Zhang Dongxiu?"
"Old Ding?" Ding Qing was stunned for two seconds, then slapped the water surface fiercely, "Don't yell! I'm not even forty!"
He splashed the water on Li Zicheng's face and smiled secretly, "I know Zhang Dongxiu. He is a big brother in the neighboring Tianan City. He has a very high status."
"He is also a prominent figure in recent years."
It is confirmed that this Jang Dong-soo will have Ma Dong-seok's face.
Ding Qing laughed proudly over there, "Did you offend him?"
"No."
"It's okay, just deal with them if they offend you!" Ding Qing yelled, "Beidamen will always be on your side!"
Li You smiled and shook his head, "Got it, Lao Ding."
This is why Li You regards Ding Qing as his only true ally.
He values loyalty and is sincere to his friends. Although both of them know that they will compete with each other in the future, he still encourages Li You.
He looked at Mou Xianmin, "I've already found out."
"What?" Mou Xianmin hugged her legs with her hands under the quilt.
"That serial killer has picked the wrong guy," Li You thought of Zhang Dongxiu, and a smile appeared on his face, "This Zhang Dongxiu is not a good person."
"President!" It was Choi Doo-il's voice, banging on the door outside.
"Wait a moment," Li You went out and opened the door, and Cui Dou Ri rushed in carrying a bag.
"What's wrong?"
"Hyunwoo asked me to bring some clothes for the president," Choi Doo-il untied the bag, revealing brand new clothes inside, "He knew the president might have nothing to change into after getting caught in the rain, so he just went to buy them."
"President," Choi Doo-il nodded, "You have a good eye. Hyun-woo is a good candidate for secretary."
"Is my vision better than yours?"
"That's right." Cui Douri agreed subconsciously, "No."
He looked at Li You picking up the bag and said, "Brother Long is here too. He is leading people on patrol outside now."
"Long Da?" Li You was stunned for a moment, "It's raining so hard, and we can't find anything."
"President," Choi Doo-il opened his umbrella, "Brother Long is very busy in Seocho during the day, and he's almost become a businessman."
"I finally got the chance to help the president with something, so I came here."
Li You sighed, "Okay, go back and persuade him. When it's almost done, go back. Don't delay tomorrow's business."
"I will give bonuses to the brothers tomorrow."
Cui Douri waved his hands repeatedly, his face serious, "President, protecting the eldest sister-in-law is the brothers' duty."
Li You coughed and asked, "Which one is your sister-in-law?"
"Whichever you say is the best," Cui Douri stood in the rain holding an umbrella. "If you like someone in the future, just tell us and we will come and take him there."
"roll."
"Okay."
