Chapter 302: Chapter 302 I Think I’ve Been Hit_1

You and Xian Qianling entered the deceased’s home, a single apartment, which was decorated quite cozily.

When you entered, a female police officer was comforting a girl about twenty years old, dressed quite appropriately.

Xian Qianling said to Sun Mingyu beside her, "Please explain the details of the case to him."

Sun Mingyu nodded, then said to you, "The victim was named Lin Fang, twenty-seven years old..."

Sun Mingyu gave a detailed account, speaking while you observed the room’s layout and followed Xian Qianling into Lin Fang’s bedroom.

Lin Fang’s body lay on the cold floor, covered with a white cloth.

You took the gloves from Sun Mingyu’s hand, put them on, then walked over to Lin Fang’s body and slowly squatted down.

Lifting the white cloth, you sized up Lin Fang, and your brow furrowed slightly.

"The coroner has already checked, and no wounds were found anywhere on Lin Fang’s body."

Hearing Sun Mingyu’s words, you turned and asked him, "Did Lin Fang scream or make any similar noise when she died?"

Sun Mingyu shook his head, "No, according to her roommate, Lin Fang had taken a bath last night and was lying in bed looking at her phone. When her roommate entered Lin Fang’s room, she found Lin Fang was already dead."

You looked down at Lin Fang’s body and noticed her eyes were wide open in anger, her pupils were white, clearly indicating extreme shock.

Laying your hand gently on Lin Fang’s shoulder, your mind quickly flickered through many images, but none of these held anything of value; instead, they revealed the intricacies of the insurance industry as well as Lin Fang’s private life.

These matters didn’t particularly interest you, but among those images, you found that Lin Fang often bullied someone at work, a coworker.

You turned to Sun Mingyu and said, "Please hand me your pen and paper."

Although puzzled, Sun Mingyu handed over his notebook and pen to you.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Xian Qianling and several detectives, you quickly sketched the face of a man on the notebook.

"Who is he?"

Xian Qianling, aware of some of your abilities, knew this man might be key to solving the case, and immediately asked.

You passed the notebook to Sun Mingyu, "Investigate this person quietly for now. He has the motive for murder and may be related to Lin Fang’s death."

"Right! I’m on it!" Sun Mingyu turned quickly and walked towards the door, soon Sun Mingyu’s voice came from outside, "Brother Zhang, why do you look so panicked? What happened?"

Hearing this, you and Xian Qianling hurried out of Lin Fang’s bedroom.

Entering the living room, you saw Zhang Zifeng walking in from outside, looking tense.

"Captain, I think I’ve been targeted!"

"What!?"

Xian Qianling exclaimed in surprise while Zhang Zifeng had already taken out his phone, opened it, and showed Xian Qianling the text message he’d received.

You and Xian Qianling glanced at it, both your brows knit tightly together, and Xian Qianling quickly asked, "When did this happen?"

"Just after I left the insurance company."

"How long ago?" you asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Zifeng glanced at the time the text message was received and said to you, "It’s been six minutes!"

"There are four minutes left." You rubbed your hands together and fell into deep thought.

Xian Qianling turned to look at you and said, "Zhang Zifeng just left the insurance company and then he received this murder message. Could it mean that the murderer really is someone from within the insurance company?"

"Who the murderer is isn’t important, what matters is the method he used to kill." You looked at the mobile phone in Zhang Zifeng’s hand, your eyes already narrowed, "If it were just an ordinary method of killing, it would be no more than a white knife going in and a red knife coming out. Solving the case, your police force is very professional, catching the murderer is just a matter of time. What I’m worried about is this method of killing. If I’m not mistaken, including Officer Zhang, there should have been seven people who received this message."

"What do we do now?" Zhang Zifeng, after all a trained detective, remained relatively calm in the face of the death threat, though his eyes still flickered with a trace of panic.

"Breaking the curse in this message is simple, just find seven people and have them send messages to each other. That’s also one of the reasons why seven people received the message but only three are dead," you walked over to Zhang Zifeng, took the mobile phone from his hand, and said, "Now, we have two choices before us. One is to immediately find seven people and exchange messages, thus breaking the curse; however, as for the other six people, I don’t know."

"What’s the second choice?" Xian Qianling asked, his gaze burning into you.

That same hunter’s look, stalking his prey!

"The second choice will have to be made by Officer Zhang himself. We give up on breaking the curse, wait for the curse to take effect, and then I’ll deal with the curse while dragging out the person behind the scenes."

"I choose the second option," Zhang Zifeng said without hesitation.

You and Xian Qianling exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.

"Good."

As you spoke, you placed the mobile phone on the living room floor. Then, eight pieces of yellow talisman paper flew out from your pocket. The talisman papers circled in the air before landing on the floor around the phone, positioned according to the Bagua orientation.

Xian Qianling, a detective from the major case squad, had heard a bit about you; among the people present, some had witnessed your capabilities, while others who had not seen it before got an eye-opener today, their eyes wide open. If it weren’t for police regulations, they probably would have taken their phones out to record the scene immediately.

"What’s next?"

Xian Qianling asked.

Without lifting your head, you slowly closed your eyes, "Wait."

At this moment, your Sen Luo Eye was already open.

Under the scrutiny of the Sen Luo Eye, you noticed a wisp of Yin Ghost Qi still lingering in Lin Fang’s room; at the same time, Zhang Zifeng’s mobile phone also emitted a faint, eerie aura. Although you didn’t understand how the murderer killed, you knew that nothing in this world comes from nowhere, and no one can kill out of thin air.

If just glaring could kill a person, then that would completely transcend the realm of humanity.

"One more minute," Xian Qianling said, looking at his watch.

"Gulp."

You clearly heard Zhang Zifeng swallowing, although he made no other noise, he was somewhat worried in his heart after all, as it involved his own life.

If it was a matter of fighting a desperado now, he would rush in without hesitation, bravely facing death and seeking survival from desperation, because even in death, he would die a hero; but now it was different, if he were to be killed by a text message, he would never rest in peace, even as a ghost!

"Ten seconds left!"
