Chapter 348: Chapter 348 Little Detective Yue Qingqing

The little girl stood in front of them, and the two police officers were puzzled.

"Is there anything else?"

Yue Qingqing pondered for a moment before carefully asking, "Yesterday, when Grandmother was reading the newspaper at home, she said that some terrifying cases have been discovered in Zhuancheng recently. Is that true?"

She had also heard Lin Chunju casually mention it, saying she didn’t know what deep hatred was involved, but the victims had their bellies hollowed out and their tongues ripped out.

Initially, Yue Qingqing didn’t think too much about it, since the cruel crimes humans are capable of are sometimes even more frightening than ghosts and goblins.

But seeing the expression on the faces of the two police officers, she felt that the case might not be so simple.

The policewoman hesitated, facing adults she could righteously claim that everything should be based on official sources and not spread around.

But facing such a cute little girl, she couldn’t be so cold-hearted.

And those pervasive media would likely soon get the news from the victims’ relatives and neighbors anyway.

"Yes, you kids should be more careful going out these days. It’s a bit dangerous outside right now," the policewoman said.

After speaking, the two hurried away.

Although the policewoman’s words were brief, Yue Qingqing got some information.

Be extra careful when going out—

The "murderer" had not been caught yet, and this matter was not a simple case of revenge killing. It was likely that the victims did not share a common circle, and it might be considered by the police as indiscriminate killing.

It’s a bit dangerous outside these days—

The killer was still committing crimes.

Recently, in order to find the person who had used the Curse Technique by Words on Jun Feifei, Yue Qingqing had specifically gone to the library to read some detective novels related to criminal investigations.

Although she certainly couldn’t compare to a professional, she had no problem infering some implications.

"Qingqing, weren’t you going to the bathroom?"

After hearing a bellyful of compliments from Teacher Shi, the three children who were finally allowed out were puzzled.

Wei Rong even leaned over to look down the stairs.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, nothing, it’s just..." Yue Qingqing hesitated for a moment, "Recently, let’s go home early after school. I heard it’s a bit dangerous in town."

Surprisingly, several children were already aware of this.

"Is it the one in the newspaper? My mother heard it from the customers at the restaurant, and she insisted that I go home with classmates and not on my own."

"Right, right, Mom also said to come to school early afterwards to pick me up from school."

Even Jun Feifei, who couldn’t speak, nodded continuously, indicating she had heard about it too.

In these times, when there aren’t many forms of entertainment, nearly every household subscribes to a newspaper.

This news was so shocking that neighbors would whisper about it in hushed tones as if exchanging secret codes whenever they met in the hallways.

"That... Have you heard?"

Now there were all kinds of rumors.

Some said it was a psychopath from abroad who liked to drink with human livers, which is why the corpses were so brutally disfigured.

Others thought it might be some kind of cult that needed human organs for rituals.

There were even suspicions it could be an underground research facility conducting human experiments.

Though the report only occupied a small section of the paper, because it happened in their own city, nearly every family learned of it overnight and discussed it over dinner.

Wei Rong, who was always in the know, added, "This morning when I went out, Mom got a call from her sister saying that another person died in Xicheng District, same way of dying. Now everyone suspects it’s a serial killer."

Qu Ruorui and Wei Rong added to the conversation one after another, while Jun Feifei, unable to speak, opened and closed her mouth, clearly frustrated.

Yue Qingqing: "..."

So she had analyzed in vain just now?

Indeed, the power of the masses is the greatest. Had she known, she wouldn’t have bothered chasing after them.

The junior detective Yue Qingqing felt very frustrated.
