Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Murder Red Packet Group_1

You frowned and asked, "Are all the strangulation marks the same?"

"Yes, they are." Xian Qianling nodded, "Just now, another woman died, a white-collar worker on her job. She was found dead in her company’s restroom, with a strangulation mark on her neck as well."

"What kind of strangulation mark?"

"A rope."

"A rope, what kind of rope?"

"Just the most common kind of hemp rope, as thick as a thumb."

After pondering for a moment, you asked Xian Qianling again, "No hemp rope was found at the scene?"

"Mhm." Xian Qianling nodded affirmatively, "The three victims died in places far from each other, and they didn’t know each other. I really don’t know why the twisted killer would target them like this."

At that moment, Zhang Zhaoyuan put away his mobile phone, which you happened to see, and you immediately asked Xian Qianling, "Have you checked their phones?"

"We have checked. There were no clues inside. Their social circles didn’t overlap at all."

"What about the red packet group?"

"Red packet group?" Xian Qianling was taken aback, clearly not having thought of this possibility before.

"Yes, the red packet group! Have Zhang Zifeng check the victims’ phones immediately to see if they all joined the same red packet group."

Xian Qianling hurriedly called Zhang Zifeng, and in less than three minutes, Zhang Zifeng had replied.

Xian Qianling nodded at you, "Just as you said, they indeed joined a red packet group."

"Is the group number 414789544?"

"No." Xian Qianling shook her head slightly and gave a completely different group number.

"Not the same?"

Your reflection deepened at Xian Qianling’s answer, and you decisively sat down on the edge of the flowerbed by the roadside.

Although your location was a corner of the academy, it was the freshman registration day, so there were many people coming and going. Plus, with beauties like Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi around, the onlookers naturally grew more numerous.

Seeing this, Wu Qiyi walked up to you and said in a low voice, "Our registration is complete, so we’ll be heading back. As agreed, Zhao’er will live with us from now on. If you have time, you should also visit the Ladies’ Home; we’ll keep your room available for you."

After saying that, Wu Qiyi left with a group of beauties.

Yang Kai plunked down beside you and patted your shoulder, saying, "I tell you, Old Shu, buddy really doesn’t know whether to be envious, envious, or still just envious?"

"Go away!"

You glared at Yang Kai.

Xiao Feng scooted over to your right side and patted your shoulder as well, saying, "It’s hard to owe a debt of gratitude to a beauty. When will this tangled situation between you guys ever end?"

You glanced at Xian Qianling again and sighed deeply, "I had no intention of beckoning the moon, but how can one resist when the moonlight is so enticing?"

Hearing this, Zong Wangyue, Liao Yong, Dai Zhenan, and others around you simultaneously gave you a thumbs up: "Astute!"

Rolling your eyes, you turned to Yang Kai, who was playing with his mobile phone, and said, "Kai Zi, use your phone to join that killer red packet group."

"What?" Yang Kai immediately objected, "Come on, Old Shu, are you messing with me? Three have already died; it’s obviously a trap, and you’re still telling me to jump into it!"

"The Buddha says, if you won’t enter Hell, then who the hell will?" you said, grabbing Yang Kai’s shoulder and stretching out five fingers, "This many!"

"Hmph, do you think I’m a beggar? It’s got to be this much at least!" Yang Kai made a gesture of "eight" with his thumb and index finger.

"Deal!"

Saying this, Yang Kai immediately added Xian Qianling’s newly reported red packet group number to his mobile phone with a smiling face.

Dai Zhenan softly asked Zong Wangyue next to him, "Zongzi, how many zeros were there after Boss and Little Kai made those finger gestures?"

After thinking for a moment, Zong Wangyue answered, "It should be six zeros, given the net worth of Boss and Little Kai, six zeros sounds about right."

"It’s one zero." Wei Shuxian came over with Liao Yong at that time.

"Huh? One zero? Eighty yuan?" Dai Zhenan exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.

Xiao Feng shook his head slightly upon hearing this and sighed, "Ji Ji man, you guys really don’t understand Little Yunyun and Little Kai well enough. With the way these two are, how could they possibly calculate money off each other? They were talking about the number of times to buy breakfast."

Liao Yong shook his head and laughed, "Little Kai had already gambled away his breakfast times for this year last year. What they were betting just now was socks – eighty pairs of disposable silk socks for summer wear. Little Kai has sweaty feet; he usually wears a pair and throws them away."

"What the hell?"

Even Xiao Feng stood up this time, pointing at you and then at Yang Kai, his face full of disappointment.

"Alright, added."

As soon as Yang Kai said this, the expressions of the people around changed, and members of the supernatural detective society naturally gathered together.

Zong Wangyue spoke to you, "Boss, there are spectators all around us. Should we get rid of them?"

You didn’t speak, only slightly lifted your head, and your eyes suddenly bulged with intensity!

At that moment, all the onlookers around scattered swiftly, with a perplexed look on their faces.

"Truly worthy of being the Boss, such a brilliant method." Zong Wangyue’s flattery came just as ready.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but sigh, "You fatso, always kissing up to others. Little Yunyun’s Pupil Skill has obviously gotten stronger than before. Over this winter break, everyone’s power has more or less increased, except you are still the same old you!"

Zong Wangyue, puffing up his face, said, "Hehe, I’m in charge of logistics, right? When have you ever seen a quartermaster lead troops into battle?"

"Cut the crap, everyone quiet down."

When you spoke up, everyone focused their attention on the mobile screen in Yang Kai’s hand.

By then, Yang Kai had already joined this so-called "From Poor to Rich Red Packet Group."

However, just like the red packet group Yang Kai got from Zhang Zhaoyuan before, this group also had red packet tasks, but the denomination of these tasks was higher, starting from 500 yuan at least.

"Damn, completing a red packet task can actually earn one hundred thousand yuan. Why would anyone else work their ass off? Just play with red packets all day long." Yang Kai cursed when he discovered the highest reward for a red packet task was one hundred thousand yuan.

"Get over it, basket case. With such high rewards for tasks, the content is definitely going to be more twisted, and the difficulty higher; and if you don’t complete it, you’ll meet the same fate as those three people, strangled to death!"

For Xiao Feng, the invisible rich and handsome, one hundred thousand yuan was merely a string of digits—neither here nor there, and not a big deal at all.

"Baller, don’t forget, aside from you and Glasses, one hundred thousand yuan is enough to let a family live comfortably for a year."

Yang Kai rolled his eyes. These days, you absolutely couldn’t talk about money, because the moment you did, it would inevitably hurt feelings in an unnatural way.

"Wait a minute!" Yang Kai suddenly raised his head and turned to look at you, "Is this red packet group the same kind as the one we just saw? If I don’t complete the red packet task I accepted earlier, I won’t be strangled to death out of the blue, will I?"
