As they headed toward the site of the fourth case...
Qin Feng leaned against the back of the chair and rubbed his temples, a hint of exhaustion appearing on his face.
He had now confirmed that the murderer of the third case and the previous two cases were not the same person, but a copycat. It was no wonder that the Magic Capital Police Department was unable to find any useful information about the murderer. After all, the crimes were conducted by two different individuals.
Qin Feng had only skimmed through the case report earlier and as such, he could not remember much. He did not know what clues they had found, but he only hoped that they had found some rather useful ones.
Seeing as the crime was conducted by more than one person, and seeing as there were many similarities between the cases, the difficulty of the case had increased somewhat. The murderers were two different individuals, and yet, there were many similarities in the crimes they committed.
Qin Feng had already seen the faces of the two murderers, and all he could do now was to hope that the Magic Capital Police Department had found more suspects, and that the two murderers were included within their list. So long as he knew their identities, Qin Feng was certain that he could find the evidence needed to prove them guilty.
However, unless the police had included the two individuals in their list of suspects, Qin Feng's first job was to figure out their identities. If this were the case, he would need to start the investigation from the very beginning.
The fourth case happened in a small park near Bailu Pond.
Shen Qing parked the car next to the crime scene and got out of the car together with Qin Feng and Yang Wei.
"I still have nightmares of this place!"
"Sigh, what a pity, the girl was so beautiful too. I wonder who was the maniac who did such a cruel thing to the girl."
"When will the police catch the murderer? As long as the murderer is not caught, no one would be at peace."
"It's too cruel!"
"I know right? What kind of sicko would just kill someone all of a sudden? How terrifying."
Qin Feng and the others walked towards the crime scene while listening to the residents' gossip around them. It seems that everyone had felt sorry for the dead girl. At the same time, they hoped that the murderer would be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible. After all, unless the murderer was caught, everyone would continue to live in fear.
"Qin Feng, the fourth victim was found here."
Yang Wei pointed at the crime scene that was surrounded by a police cordon and said.
Qin Feng nodded. He bent down, crossed the police cordon, and approached the crime scene.
"Crime scene detected. Crime scene reconstruction in progress!"
The system's voice appeared in Qin Feng's mind as soon as he entered the police cordon. In an instant, the space in front of Qin Feng began to warp once more.
Just like before, it was another rainy night.
Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, illuminating the passersby who were in a hurry to find shelter.
A middle-aged man in a raincoat stood beside a big tree. His eyes scanned the surroundings as if he was looking for prey. Suddenly... His gaze were locked onto a girl who was walking toward him not far away.
Perhaps not expecting it to rain, she was dressed rather lightly. With an umbrella in hand, she walked leisurely along the path in high heels.
She worked in an entertainment establishment, and thus, she was dressed rather nicely.
"What unpredictable weather. It rains whenever it feels like it! There's been too much rain recently!" The woman complained as she raised her head to look at the sky. She curled her lips and slowly walked towards the man's direction.
A sinister smile appeared on the man's lips. He looked at the woman who appeared in front of him with perverse satisfaction. He pulled on his raincoat's hat and slowly walked to the path in the bushes next to him and gradually snuck closer to the woman.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The people who were rushing to and fro earlier were nowhere to be found. The only ones who were left using the path was the girl and the demon who was gradually approaching her.
At this point, the woman was still complaining about the weather.
The moment the two of them crossed bodies, the man suddenly took out a dagger from his arms, turned around and covered the girl's mouth. He stabbed the dagger maniacally at the girl, again and again.
The girl's umbrella dropped to the ground. She struggled desperately, but to no avail. Before long, the woman had stopped moving. She had breathed her last.
The man looked around, dragged the girl, and walked into the bushes nearby. Under the cover of the trees, the man changed the girl's clothing into the red wedding dress he had prepared. After confirming that there were no traces of his crime left behind, he left in a hurry and disappeared into the heavy rain.
The scene in front of Qin Feng slowly turned into an empty park.
'Yet another murderer has appeared!'
Qin Feng could not control his shocked expression.
He clearly saw the face of the fourth murderer. The murderer of this case was different from the other murderers! It was at this point that Qin Feng truly realized the scale of the case.
There had been four murders throughout the month, and despite all four cases being extremely similar, there were actually three murderers on the loose!
Qin Feng was also very confused now. Was there any connection between the three murderers?
Compared to the first murderer, the second and third murderers looked more like copycats, but some of the details of the case did not quite fit the previous cases.
Qin Feng frowned. Things were more complicated than he had assumed.
Not far away.
Yang Wei looked at Shen Qing's furrowed brows in puzzlement.
Yang Wei asked, "Shen Qing, what do you think this kid is doing? He asked us to bring him to the crime scene, but upon arrival, not only did he not bother to look for evidence, he even has the gall to stand there and pretend to think. Sure he might ask us a few questions sometimes, but immediately after, he would tell us to bring him to the next crime scene. Do you think he actually discovered something, or is he just putting on act?"
Shen Qing looked at Qin Feng in the distance, and shook his head. "I don't know either. Anyway, our task is only to accompany him. Wherever he wants to go, we'll drive him there. Other than that, it has nothing to do with me."
"You're right. Whatever. He can do whatever he wants. Anyway, since he's the one on the case now, it's his responsibility to deal with the situation. I'm sure we're in for a good show if he fails to solve this case."
Yang Wei shrugged indifferently and replied.
Shen Qing looked at Qin Feng again, and commented in a slightly heavy tone, "I hope he can solve this case. We already have four dead victims. If any more victims arise, then I'll really be a good-for-nothing cop."
Yang Wei sighed but he did not respond.
After a while, Qin Feng walked back from the crime scene and said to the two officers, "I understand the situation now, and I have some ideas. Let's head back to the police department."
The two nodded and returned to the vehicle.
