Chapter 7 Serial Murder Case
Chapter 7 Serial Murder Case
It is said that New Year's Day is the first day of the new year, and we should spend it happily.
Liang Junjie thought so too, but things didn't go as planned. After seeing Yu Xueji off, he faced new troubles.
A middle-aged man came to the place where Liang Junjie was meditating and stood facing him.
Liang Junjie didn't sense it at first; if it weren't for the sound of the man drawing his knife, he wouldn't have noticed at all.
Without hesitation, Liang Junjie instinctively crawled to the side and then kicked out with his side leg, knocking the knife out of the man's hand.
"Who are you?! There are security cameras here! You killed someone in the street, aren't you afraid of being executed?!"
Liang Junjie stood up, refraining from rashly approaching to subdue the enemy. Anyone who could approach him so quietly, besides a cultivator, was likely a top-tier assassin.
"Heh, I've been staking out this place for so long, and I finally figured out that girl's routine. I was planning to kidnap her and extort money from her..."
The man pulled a new knife from his back, his words continuing: "So, you brat messed everything up! If I can't have the woman, I'll just tie you up!"
Hearing these undisguisedly crazy words, Liang Junjie broke out in a cold sweat.
He's always been a corporate slave and doesn't exercise regularly. Although he has the cultivation level of the early stage of Qi Refining, he's not entirely confident he can defeat a vicious thug.
"If he only has a knife, I can fight him... but if he also has a gun..."
Thinking of this, Liang Junjie's body began to tremble.
He only took his phone with him when he left home this morning, and he was just wearing whatever clothes he was wearing. Was he going to run for his life in slippers?
"Kid! If you know what's good for you, come with me obediently, or else..." After saying that, he brandished the knife a few times and even stuck out his tongue to lick the blade.
Before the man could finish speaking, Liang Junjie threw his slipper at him.
The slipper flew so fast that the man couldn't react in time. It struck the knife in his hand, while the man was still licking the blade...
It's sizzling!
The man cut off his own tongue with his own knife!
Intense pain swept through his brain, and the man desperately covered his tongue, trying to stop the bleeding.
However, he forgot that his knife was poisoned.
Previously, licking it a few times was fine, but now the toxin has entered the bloodstream.
The numbness caused his body to react perfectly, and he fell straight to the ground.
The granite steps made a crisp, thud.
At that moment, a crack appeared in the man's skull.
Seeing the man's miserable state, Liang Junjie took out his phone and called the police.
Once the police arrived, Liang Junjie explained the whole story and pointed to the surrounding surveillance cameras.
"These surveillance videos can testify that he struck first."
After reviewing the surveillance footage and ascertaining the truth, the police shook Liang Junjie's hand.
"Thank you, comrade, for helping the police prevent a serial murder case today."
"A serial murder case? He did it alone?"
Liang Junjie was clearly stunned. How could someone commit serial murders? And this person didn't seem to be very bright. How did he manage to commit serial murders?
"No, we suspect this person has accomplices; it's likely a group crime."
Upon hearing this, Liang Junjie felt a chill run down his spine.
"If Yu Xueji is their target... then at this moment..."
Liang Junjie quickly took out his phone and dialed Yu Xueji's number, wanting to immediately check on her safety.
"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep."
No one answered the phone.
Liang Junjie tagged Yu Xueji in the group chat again.
There was still no response.
"Oh no! Something might have happened!" Liang Junjie quickly informed the police of the possibility that his friend might have been attacked by another gang.
Police stated they would immediately launch a search. Liang Junjie also called Huo Chuyu.
Less than three seconds after dialing, the message "Sorry, the user you dialed is not in the service area" appeared.
"Damn! They let us down at the crucial moment!"
Liang Junjie cursed, then tagged everyone in the group.
"Everyone, Yu Xueji has gone missing! If you're near Liugangshan to Qingsha Road, please help look for her! Hurry!"
There was a stir in the group, but many people quickly responded with a simple "Okay".
After rushing home, Liang Junjie rode his motorcycle around searching for him.
While calling out Yu Xueji's name, he asked the nearby villagers if they had seen a very pretty girl, about 1.6 meters tall, with a single ponytail.
"I didn't see her, young man. What's wrong? Is your girlfriend lost?" an elderly woman asked curiously.
Liang Junjie ignored the old woman and continued shouting through the megaphone.
At this moment, Yu Xueji was on the top of a newly built building. She was tied to a stool, her mouth stuffed with her stockings, and in front of her was a middle-aged woman holding a long whip, while behind her was a bottomless abyss.
"Tell me honestly, under whose name have all your family's assets been transferred?!"
The woman lashed Yu Xueji's body with her whip, causing the already unstable stool to wobble instantly.
"Waaah, waaah, waaah." Yu Xueji tried desperately to speak, but her mouth was full of her stockings, and she couldn't make a sound.
"Will you tell me or not!"
Another lash came down.
Yu Xueji was about to cry. Being kidnapped was bad enough, but being beaten by this woman she didn't even know was bad enough, and she still wouldn't let him talk, asking him if he would talk or not.
"Damn it!" Yu Xueji roared, but the roar was filtered through the stockings and became a whimper.
Time passed by, bit by bit.
The woman seemed to finally realize that there was still something blocking Yu Xueji's mouth.
She quickly stepped forward and removed the stockings from the other person's mouth.
"explain!"
The woman sternly rebuked her.
Yu Xueji paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not going to tell you anything! Forget about it!"
"Fine! Since you're so stubborn, I'll grant your wish~"
The woman's voice gradually became distorted, and she reached out with both hands to push Yu Xueji off the high building.
Just then, a pair of hands pulled her backward, and she fell to the ground.
"Tiger Bro?! What brings you here?" The woman looked at the fierce-looking man with a burly build in front of her in surprise.
"Useless! How are we supposed to kidnap and extort money now that the person is dead?"
The man, nicknamed Tiger, slapped the woman across the face. She immediately lowered her head, looking both reprimanded and aggrieved.
"The Yu family... the largest fabric manufacturer in Guangzhou, the patriarch of the Yu family, Yu Guojun, has a lovely granddaughter named Yu Xueji, I think that's you?"
Tiger's words were gentle, but Yu Xueji felt an unprecedented chill from the hurt.
The person in front of me is extremely dangerous.
"Help! Someone please save me!"
Yu Xueji shouted loudly, his voice echoing everywhere amidst the sound of the wind.
