After Tang Qi sat down, it took Police Chief Stana a while to walk over.
However, by this time, the serious expression on her face had eased a lot. At least, the look in her eyes when she looked at Tang Qi was not so sharp. It seemed that she had learned about Tang Qi's current situation from the principal during this time.
The parents had just passed away, and he was a thin young man. How could he be the murderer?
"Tang Qi, right? I was too serious just now, I hope I didn't scare you."
"You can rest assured, I just have a few questions I want to ask you, routine inquiries, nothing else. Everyone in the school last night will receive such an investigation."
"Then, let's start."
It had to be said that when Police Chief Stana relaxed her stern expression, she was indeed a very friendly and mature beautiful woman, and very beautiful.
Whether according to the aesthetics of this world or the aesthetics of the former Earth, she was dazzling, especially her tall figure, which made people regret that she should have been a model instead.
If it was the original owner, facing such a gentle and mature big sister, I'm afraid he would have been shy and excited, spilling the beans out of the bamboo basket.
Unfortunately, now it was Tang Qi.
Looking at the female police chief sitting in front of him, opening a small notebook and preparing to start routine questioning, Tang Qi did not wait for her to ask the first question. He slowly raised his tightly wrapped arm and casually pulled it apart with one hand, unwrapping the bandage.
Very quickly, Tang Qi's well-healed but still terrifying wound appeared in front of Stana.
Of course, a wound that made people feel nauseous when they saw it would not frighten a female police officer. Stana looked at Tang Qi's arm, pulled a forensic doctor who happened to pass by, whispered a few words, and the forensic doctor immediately examined Tang Qi's wound.
Soon, the forensic doctor re-bandaged Tang Qi's wound and then told Stana the answers and inferences.
Before leaving, he kindly reminded Tang Qi, "Little guy, bitten by dogs and so seriously injured, it's best to get rabies vaccine as soon as possible, within 24 hours to be safe."
The conclusion of the forensic doctor was equivalent to proving Tang Qi's innocence.
After all, someone with such a severely injured arm would never be able to skin four teenage girls alive at dawn.
However, if Tang Qi was willing, he could see his condition at any time.
And the original herbal medicine from the mainland of Sa Ha seemed to be very effective.
Although he was completely cleared of suspicion, Tang Qi still could not escape routine questioning. Only this time, Police Chief Stana's expression was completely eased, and occasionally a few dazzling smiles appeared.
During the questioning, there was another uproar.
The two looked at the source at the same time, but saw a girl anxiously breaking through the police cordon and walking quickly towards them. Several policemen behind her didn't seem to keep up for a while.
"Tang Qi, how are you? Are you okay?"
"Ma'am, I can testify for Tang Qi. He's my friend. He sent me home last night. This case must have nothing to do with him..."
"Ugh!"
Obviously, Sally came a little late and urgently. She didn't seem to understand what exactly had happened here.
In a hurry to testify for Tang Qi, she happened to turn her head and saw everything in the room. Although the corpses had been moved away, the black coagulated blood on the beds and floors was still terrifying and disgusting enough to make Sally vomit.
Poor girl, this was the first time she had seen such a shocking scene.
If nothing unexpected happened, she might have nightmares tonight.
However, her interruption made Police Chief Stana feel goodwill towards both Tang Qi and Sally.
It seemed that these were two simple high school students.
The previous suspicion, based on professional ethics, eased after learning about the situation, which was also normal.
After Sally felt better, Stana took the two away from the scene and then turned back to continue investigating the case.
She had not been the police chief of Meiser City Police Department for long. As soon as she took office, she encountered such a tricky and cruel case, and now she felt a little overwhelmed and jittery.
In addition to the horror of the case, the place where it happened was too subtle.
Saint Thorn High School's position in Meiser City was extraordinary. Although the four cheerleaders who died came from families that could only be described as wealthy, they were not enough to make the police department dare not provoke them.
But other students might not.
Many people here were either rich or noble.
If not handled properly, whether the case was solved or not, it was possible to lose one's job first.
This was also why?
The reason why such a cruel case was handled by her, a newcomer.
Because none of the old hands moved.
However, these "off-site factors" were not the main cause of her headache. What really made the female police chief feel depressed was the trickiness of this case.
Overnight, four teenage girls were skinned alive without the slightest noise for the students next door to notice, which was enough to show the horror of the murderer.
Most incredibly, no clues were left at the scene.
Fingerprints, hair, footprints...nothing, not even biological samples like sweat.
In Stana's more than ten years of police career, this kind of murderer, she encountered for the first time.
Although she was an excellent police officer, she had a premonition that the horror of her opponent this time might far exceed her imagination.
After sending Tang Qi and Sally out of the police cordon, Stana frowned.
Just then, Tang Qi, who had just stepped out of the police cordon, paused, turned around again, hesitated on his face, but still said, "Police Chief Stana, have you heard of 'Venus's Kiss'?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Tang Qi's words suddenly, Stana was stunned for a moment, subconsciously recalled, and then shook her head.
"It's a kind of little game, similar to 'Bloody Mary', only not popular in the Eagle Federation, its origin and popularity are in the Anglo-American Union of the European Union, young girls most like to play such a game about fear and beauty on boring nights."
"The rules are..."
At this point, Tang Qi paused.
At this time, Stana seemed to have thought of something, and her face became solemn.
Sure enough, as Tang Qi continued to speak the next moment, Stana's whole body tensed up, goosebumps rose, and her scalp tingled.
Tang Qi looked equally serious, his eyes gazed at the busy room in the distance, and said, "Venus is a symbol of love and beauty. According to legend, if you can get her kiss, you will gain eternal beauty and the most sincere love."
"And this little game with a beautiful meaning, the rules are like this, the girl must take off all her clothes and lie on her side on the bed, surrounded by red rose petals, her head must wear a flower crown, and next to her must be a shell filled with azure seawater. "
"If the ritual is successful, it means that the summoner can gain the blessing bestowed by Venus, the goddess of beauty, youth and sincere love."
"If the ritual fails, the summoner will have to give up her own beauty and longevity, and become older and uglier."
"Of course, this is just a boring little game."
"Venus, and...may not exist."
"Hiss!"
With every word Tang Qi said, Stana's heartbeat increased dramatically.
No extra explanation was needed. Even Sally, who was beside her, had a look of horror and admiration on her face at this moment.
The admiration was not to say, the horror was very understandable.
Because at this moment, inside the open door of the room, a scene exactly as Tang Qi described was clearly visible.
As an excellent police officer with a good memory, Stana knew without turning around that the layout on each girl's bed in the room at this moment was exactly the same as what Tang Qi had said.
Stana's mood at this moment was both surprised and excited.
A case that was originally very tricky was likely to turn around because of Tang Qi's words.
However, Stana's imagination was clearly not enough. The real big turnaround was Tang Qi's next words.
"As far as I know, the most critical prop to complete this little game is the shell. According to the rules, an Aegean Sea shell must be used. Although not a rare thing, the four girls obviously couldn't find genuine ones in a hurry."
"So..."
The answer was revealed, Tang Qi did not say more.
It was just that when Stana was excited to turn around, Tang Qi reminded again, "Police Chief Stana, whoever can do such a cruel case must be terrible. If possible, when arresting him, it is best not to give him a chance to fight back or escape."
Stana didn't know if she heard the last sentence. She hurriedly replied OK and then rushed back to the crime scene, heading straight for the four strange shells lying quietly by the bed, filled with azure seawater.
