Soon, they arrived at the scene of the third murder, a bus stop near the Pingjing Group's headquarters.
"The one who reported the crime was the bus driver of bus no. 6 that had taken this route."
Shen Qing stopped the vehicle and said.
"The victim was located underneath the bus sign. Initially, the drive thought that someone had tripped over and lost consciousness, and thus, they got off the bus to check. However, upon spotting the victim..." Yang Wei pointed at the bust stop and explained.
"Okay, I'll go and take a look."
Qin Feng nodded to show that he understood and walked towards the scene of the crime.
"Crime scene detected! Scene reconstruction in progress!"
Once again, the space before Qin Feng began to warp, and once again, it had stopped at a rainy night.
The girl stood at the bus stop and was waiting for the arrival of the bus. She constantly texted to her friends, complaining to them that it was raining so heavily that her clothes were starting to get wet. She also complained that the bus that already ran late usually, was even slower than usual.
Qin Feng looked up at the bus stop and found that although it was located along a main road, it was not a particularly frequented area. Only Bus No. 6 and Bus No.15 would frequent this area.
After some time, Bus No. 15 had stopped in front of the girl. However, seeing as the girl had no intention of getting on the ride, the driver assumed that she was waiting for Bus No. 6 instead. As such, Bus No. 15 drove away and disappeared before long.
Some time later, Bus No. 6 still had not arrived, and instead, Qin Feng spotted a slender looking young man wrapped in thick clothing approaching the bus stop.
The young man walked to the back of the bus stop and looked around. He secretly turned his eyes to the pretty lady who was waiting for the bus. He was sizing her up from top to bottom. Despite the malicious smile appearing on his face, there was a hint of reluctance and hesitation in his eyes.
The girl did not sense the danger that was approaching her, and she was still avidly texting her friends. Had she known what was about to happen to her, perhaps she would have taken a cab instead.
The rain was picking up at this point, and the girl was starting to feel a little cold. She texted her friends to tell of her desire for some hot pot, and she had even suggested them to meet up for some hot pot.
The thin man looked at the girl who was chatting happily away. The hesitation in his eyes gradually disappeared. He then looked around guiltily and found that there was no one else around.
The man secretly took out a white towel from his pocket and poured some substance onto it. He then slowly approached the girl who was still oblivious to his presence.
The girl was texting with her head facing downwards, and thus, she did not sense the danger approaching.
Suddenly, the man pounced forward and tightly covered the girl's mouth and nose with the towel. The girl was shocked and started to struggle desperately, but it was too late. Soon, the girl stopped moving.
The man quickly dragged the girl behind the platform, took out the red wedding dress he had prepared from his carry-on bag, and put it on the girl. Then, the man defiled her.
With the rain as heavy as it was, there were basically no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, one or two people would pass by in a hurry, but even so, none of them had noticed that a crime was taking place at the ordinary-looking bus stop.
The man had already gone mad. All trace of humanity in him had already long disappeared.
Once he had vented his beastly lust, he took one last look at the beautiful lady who was incapable of resisting him. Then, with an indifferent expression, he pulled out a knife from his pocket and ended the young girl's life.
The man had come prepared. He made sure not to leave any of his DNA behind when he committed the crime. A pool of blood had gathered underneath the body of the girl before him, and once he had confirmed that the girl was dead, the man cleaned up the scene, and disappeared into the night.
The heavy rain had washed away all traces of his crime, leaving no evidence behind, except the girl who had lost her life.
The scene ended there. Qin Feng stood where he was and fell into deep thought.
He did not know how to describe the man's actions, as it looked as if he did not seemed to have planned his murder, but at the same time, he had already prepared the tools for it. Even if it was premediated murder, it looked as if the man had only made his mind once he saw how happy the girl was chatting away.
Regardless, Qin Feng could now confirm one thing. This murderer was not the same person as the previous two murderers! This was a copycat!
Qin Feng was very surprised. Copycat crimes usually only happened when there was a foundation to be built on top of. However, as far as he knew, the details of the prior two cases had not been released to the public yet, and although the case had taken place outdoors, Qin Feng still felt that something was off.
Once the scene ended, Qin Feng stood rooted to the spot, thinking to himself, 'It's clear that this is not the work of the previous murderer, so it's no longer a serial killing. Could this incident be a coincidence, then?'
Shen Qing and Yang Wei looked at each other. Yang Wei said, "What do you think he's doing? Why is he just staring at the scene in a daze? Sure, the scene of the crime might be rather small, but what can he tell just by looking?"
Shen Qing glanced at Yang Wei and said, "You're asking me? How would I know what he's thinking? Anyway, since the chief wants us to cooperate with him, let's just do as he says."
Yang Wei nodded and responded, "Yep, alright. Guess we're just accompanying him anyway. Although I still don't know what he's trying pull off, orders are orders, so let's just follow them. Whatever happens can't be blamed on us."
Yang Wei and Shen Qing whispered to one another, indicating that they did not understand what Qin Feng was doing. However, upon spotting Qin Feng returning to them, they quickly stood at attention.
"Is there any difference between the third murder case and the previous two cases?" Qin Feng looked at Shen Qing and asked.
Shen Qing and Yang Wei looked at each other and nodded.
"There is indeed a difference between the third murder case and the previous two cases. They are all recorded in the case report. In this case, the murderer had sex with the deceased before the deceased died. In the previous two cases, the murderer had sex after the deceased died," Shen Qing replied.
"Okay, I got it. Let's go to the next crime scene," Qin Feng nodded and said.
"Okay, let's go."
Qing Feng did not ask any more questions. With that, they then headed toward their vehicle.
