In Tianhai City's Criminal Police Brigade, the members of the special task force responsible for the murder of the female student at Bonan University were discussing the case. The bureau leader had given the order to solve the case within three days. The moment the order was given, everyone was under great pressure.
" The victim's name is Liang Qianxi, a senior in the drama major at Bonan University's School of Arts. According to her roommates, she left the house at around 10:40 p. m. on the day of the crime, saying that she was going to the south gate for supper. Liang Qianxi didn't return to the dormitory until her roommates fell asleep at 1:30 p. m. They also called her during that time, but no one answered. However, because Liang Qianxi usually went out to sing part-time, she was more independent. Therefore, they only thought that Liang Qianxi was busy and did not pay too much attention to her.
According to her classmates, the deceased did not have a boyfriend, nor did she have any bad classmates. Due to her shy and gentle personality, she was very popular and did not usually blush with others. She often used her free time to work part-time. The most recent part-time job was at a bar called Starry Sky Bar on the pedestrian street. She would report the details when her colleagues came back.
The cause of death and time of death of the deceased could only be known after the colleagues from the forensics department had finished the identification and sent over the report.”
A valiant female criminal police officer held a report in her hand and read out the information of the deceased without missing a word.
As she spoke, she saw a woman in a white coat walk in. She was a colleague from the forensics lab, holding a test report in her hand.
As soon as they got close, the smell of disinfectant wafted into everyone's nose, but everyone was obviously used to this smell.
"Old Fang, what do you think?"
A skinny middle-aged criminal police officer who had been sitting at the corner of the desk with his eyes closed and thinking about something spoke.
"Captain Lu, the time of death of the deceased is confirmed to be between 11:00 p. m. and 12:30 p. m.
The victim had not been sexually assaulted before her death, nor did she show any signs of resistance. The drug was detected in the victim's body. The victim had kidney failure, toxic myocartis, and hemorrhage of the heart. The main cause of death was…her lungs were as broken as a broken sieve, and they could not be any more rotten. The cause of this was paraquat…According to the tiny needle found on the victim's neck, it was obvious that the victim had been knocked out with knockout powder and then injected with paraquat.”
Fang Lin, the female colleague from the lab, did not read the test report and directly told them the contents. This was just a common occurrence for them.
Paraquat was a type of pesticide, a weed killer. It was extremely toxic to humans, and there was no specific antidote. The mortality rate of oral poisoning was extremely high. It has been banned or strictly restricted by more than 20 countries. Since July 2014, the registration and production license of paraquat solution had been revoked and production stopped. They had stopped selling it a few years ago. It was impossible to buy it through ordinary means, but some very remote villages still used it.
It was possible to save him by injecting other pesticide, but paraquat could not.
This was because paraquat was too overbearing. As long as it entered a person's lungs, it would make the lungs extremely excited, as if they were exploding.
"It seems that the method of murder in this case is very simple, which is why there are so few traces left. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to do so in three days." One of the old criminal police officers said with a sigh.
A young criminal police officer asked the captain about the news he had just heard." Captain Lu, I heard that the leader has invited a criminal investigation expert from Gusha City to help us. After all, the higher-ups have ordered us to solve the case in three days. It seems that we are not the only ones who are anxious. This is a very tough character. I hope he's capable enough to solve the case as soon as possible so that our work can be a little easier.”
"I know this person. He's called Yi Che. He's the local tyrant of Gu Sha. Previously, he was famous in the criminal investigation circle of various cities. You can go and check his information. He was a case solving maniac. Almost all the major cases in Gusha City had his shadow. There's a saying to describe our province's case-solving experts. Nandu's Kuang Rui, Gu Sha's Shield. This Gu Sha's Shield is referring to Yi Che. Because the two places were relatively close, Yi Che was often invited to Nandu City to assist in criminal investigation. He worked together with Zhang Anrui from Nandu City. Difficult cases were solved as easily as eating and drinking water in their hands. Of course, his family background was more outstanding than most people. His father was at the same level as our bureau chief, so Yi Che might have been used to lording over Gusa all these years. Some people said that Yi Che was a proud person. He might have real ability, but sometimes his temper was more than his ability.”
"No matter what kind of person he is, if he has the ability to help us solve the case within three days, we will fully cooperate with him! Alright, let's sort out the case. I'm going out for a while."
Captain Lu interrupted everyone's idle chat. He picked up his coat and went out to welcome the so-called…Shield of Ancient Sand.
Starry Sky Bar, training hall on the third floor…
Tang Rui was practicing boxing, but Zhāng Ybrought him some bad news.
"Instructor, there are a few police officers coming to the bar to investigate. They need everyone to go down…It's about Qianxi.”
Hmm?
Tang Rui recalled the news of the student's death that had spread around Bonan University this morning. Now that the police had come to ask about Liang Qianxi, he instantly knew that the one who had died was Liang Qianxi!
Tang Rui's nameless fire burned fiercely in an instant, just like an enraged beast. Invisible fiendish energy burst out. Although he did not shout, it gave people a more terrifying feeling, as if the slightest movement would tear him into pieces.
"Instructor! Are you alright?"
Zhāng Y's hair stood on end and he instinctively took a few steps back. It was as if the person in front of him was not a person but a terrifying beast.
Tang Rui suppressed his anger, and his voice returned to its usual tranquility. He took the lead to walk downstairs and said to Zhāng Y,"It's nothing. Let's go down and take a look."”
As soon as Tang Rui went downstairs, he saw three policemen questioning the security guards in the bar.
After a series of normal interviews, they could not get anything useful out of him. The only useful news was that Liang Qianxi had been killed…
Tang Rui watched quietly, very very quietly. Even when faced with the police's inquiry, he responded without any emotional fluctuations, making all the team members worried.
After the police finished questioning, Tang Rui told Zhangye and went back directly. This was the first time Tang Rui left the Starry Sky Bar before he got off work at night.
…………
Back at his residence, Tang Rui sat cross-legged on the sofa. He wanted to learn the criminal investigation knowledge of one of the hosts, Detective Cole. He wanted to find the person who attacked Liang Qianxi before the police, and then…kill him!
Cole was an elite police officer of the New York City Police Department. Before he obtained the venom, he was already a famous expert in solving cases and criminal investigation. With his unimaginable criminal psychology knowledge and genius detailed reasoning, he had arrested criminals and solved more than a hundred cases. He was a rising star in New York's political circles and was the focus of everyone's attention.
Unfortunately…he accidentally encountered the venom, and the positive character that the media reported every day eventually became a big villain that destroyed social order and threatened the safety of citizens.
Now, Tang Rui wanted to use his knowledge and experience to find the person who killed Liang Qianxi and then return the favor.
A debt of blood must be repaid with blood!
When Tang Rui finished reading Cole's memories, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. He had screened and read the useful memories of a host in one go, which made his head swell up and he felt a little dizzy. He was not in a hurry to go to the crime scene. After all, it was still early. The police were probably still checking for useful traces. It would not be easy to enter.
He had dinner near the school and waited quietly for the right time…
At around midnight, there were almost no students in the school, let alone the teaching building. Tang Rui sneaked into the police cordon of the teaching building where the crime occurred. With a leap, he climbed up to the fourth floor of the fifth teaching building. He came to the door of the classroom that was sealed off. He opened the door with the knowledge of unlocking that he had learned from reading the memory today.
What greeted his eyes was a stage made of desks, candles filled the surroundings, and the empty spot in the center where the deceased Liang Qianxi had once stood.
Tang Rui closed the door and slowly walked to the top of the stage step by step. He felt something carefully with every step, and his footsteps were unusually heavy.
When he finally reached the top of the stage, he sat down gently and looked around at the decorations and scenes, not letting go of any details.
At the same time, images appeared in his mind. They were bits and pieces of the cases that Cole had solved before. He was looking for similar cases.
All the things in the classroom formed a picture in Tang Rui's mind--a figure was busy moving chairs silently in the dark, putting on a gorgeous costume for the other party, posing as if he was looking back, lighting a bright red candle, and after everything was done, he quietly stayed in the corner under the stage and looked up at the beautiful and moving…dead body on the stage.
This was a murderer who had lost his sanity and was very rational.
"I…I might not be able to sing in the future. After graduation, I'll look for a job and support his dream."
"My classmate helped me make an appointment with a director. I tried it, but it didn't work…"
"Do you like to sing? Have you ever thought of becoming a famous opera master?”
"Yes! He had always wanted me to become a famous person. He said that I would definitely be very beautiful and dazzling on that day! There would be surprises…Hehe, I'm looking forward to it.”
Tang Rui recalled the words Liang Qianxi had said these few days, and all the information in his mind connected together…He already knew who killed Liang Qianxi.
He had to find this person before the police solved the case and punish him.
