Chapter 131 - 128: Rainy Night Butcher

Chapter 131: Chapter 128: Rainy Night Butcher

Yesterday, Qin Yu took the initiative and asked Qin Zhao to invite Su Xiaotong over, so Su Xiaotong dressed up nicely, wearing her newly bought pale blue dress.

Su Xiaotong’s face was somewhat round, her eyes full of vitality, making her appearance in the dress seem delicate and elegant.

"Zhaozhao, does my new dress look good?"

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but smile, "It seems like you’re very interested in my uncle, to have dressed up so carefully today."

"Isn’t it because I want to redeem my image? At first, I thought I was meeting an old man for a blind date, so I dressed very casually, and I hadn’t even washed my hair for three days!"

Thinking back to the day she first saw Qin Yu, Su Xiaotong couldn’t help but feel embarrassed again.

Qin Yu had already arrived at Lizhu Garden and had booked a private room.

Upon knowing they had arrived, he came out to meet them.

Seeing Su Xiaotong, Qin Yu stared at her for a while, then said, "Nice dress."

Su Xiaotong’s cheeks grew warm, and she replied softly, "Thank you."

Qin Yu led them towards the private room, talking as they walked, "I just read a lot of murder news online, recently a lot of people have died in Imperial City.

You two girls should be careful, it’s best not to go out alone at night."

"Xiao Tong, did you hear that? Be careful."

Qin Zhao teased Su Xiaotong on purpose, making her face turn even redder.

"He was clearly talking about both of us!"

Su Xiaotong glared at Qin Zhao.

"That’s a nice dress," Qin Yu added, "don’t wear it again next time."

Su Xiaotong: "???"

Qin Zhao: "..."

Uncle, you’re going to end up not getting married like this!

Seeing Su Xiaotong’s angry look, Qin Yu laughed, then explained,

"Didn’t you guys see the news about the Rainy Night Butcher today? He’s a serial killer who especially murders women.

The police have already found three women who died at his hands. This killer has a psychological disorder and enjoys the thrill of hunting and killing women.

Not only that, all three women were murdered on rainy days, and after their deaths, he dressed them in pale blue dresses."

Su Xiaotong was stunned for a moment by this reason.

Suddenly, she regretted buying this dress.

Although she might not encounter the murderer, it still felt ominous.

Qin Zhao frowned.

"Another serial killer has appeared?"

She had just dealt with a potential serial killer today, how could there be another one?

Qin Zhao was quite curious about this case and planned to ask Huo Xun later.

They went to the private room and sat down, where Qin Yu called a waiter over to order.

Qin Zhao searched the Rainy Night Butcher online, and many related news articles popped up.

The murder case at the auction house had already attracted considerable attention, and in the afternoon, the police released an even more shocking announcement.

That was about the serial killings involving the pale blue dress, because the murderer committed crimes on rainy days, netizens dubbed him the Rainy Night Butcher.

Some also called him the Pale Blue Dress Hunter.

The murderer hadn’t been caught yet, the announcement was made to alert other women.

Thinking about it, she decided to send a message to Huo Xun.

Qin Zhao: What’s the deal with the Rainy Night Butcher?

Huo Xun: Don’t mention it, I’ve almost had a headache to death recently.

Huo Xun: At first, when I found so many bodies, I thought it was Wang Xuan the ghost who killed them. But the more I investigated, the more wrong it seemed, leading to a serial murder case.

Huo Xun: He likes to strike on rainy days, and after killing, he dresses the victims in pale blue dresses and leaves the bodies in secluded spots.

Huo Xun: He doesn’t dispose of them, obviously wanting people to discover his ’masterpieces’.

Qin Zhao: Any leads now?

Huo Xun: Absolutely none, Imperial City is so big, these three victims are all from different districts, and there’s no apparent connection between their identities, it doesn’t seem like an acquaintance’s doing.

Qin Zhao: If he’s a psychopath, naturally it wouldn’t be an acquaintance’s doing.

Huo Xun: Why don’t you come and take a look?

Huo Xun: I’ll give you an external staff identity and you’ll even get a salary~~

Qin Zhao: ...

What are these wave symbols doing here?

Although Qin Zhao didn’t refuse the offer, helping the police catch the murderer was a good deed.

The souls of those tragically deceased women also needed salvation.

While she was chatting with Huo Xun, Qin Yu and Su Xiaotong had already ordered the dishes.

Su Xiaotong had asked Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao told her to order whatever she wanted.

The dishes were served quickly; each one was delicious but the portions were small.

The food at this private restaurant was complete with color, fragrance, and flavor, looking exquisitely delicate and the taste was incomparable. Rarity is the hallmark of luxury, so they wouldn’t allow customers to eat their fill at once.

"I need to go to the restroom."

Su Xiaotong, who was initially chatting with Qin Yu, suddenly stood up.

Before coming here, they had also had a cup of bubble tea.

"I’ll go with you."

Qin Zhao also wanted to use the restroom.

The two walked out of the private room and immediately ran into someone familiar.

The person was a celebrity from the same company, named Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan wasn’t very famous and had once competed with the original owner for resources.

Qin Zhao didn’t have much of an impression of her; it was impossible to remember all the intricacies of the original owner’s social relationships.

But there was a rather awkward situation now.

That was, Su Xiaotong and Xiao Yuan were wearing the same dress.

Both were wearing light blue dresses from the same designer.

Xiao Yuan was a celebrity, slim and tall, so she wore it with more grace.

"Wearing the same dress isn’t scary, what’s embarrassing is who looks uglier."

As they passed by, Xiao Yuan suddenly threw out this comment.

"If you can’t speak properly, you might as well sew your mouth shut."

Qin Zhao glanced at Xiao Yuan and scoffed, "I don’t know if you’ve heard a saying called ’beauty under threat’.

Being pretty isn’t enough; you need to know how to speak, else you won’t even know how you died."

Su Xiaotong rolled her eyes, "Zhaozhao, you are really flattering her. She’s not as pretty as you. Aren’t you the one who always outshines her at events?

I’m just an agent; looking good isn’t important."

"You!" Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, "You two are the ones who can’t say anything nice, aren’t you? What, is it wrong to speak the truth now?"

Su Xiaotong blinked, "We are telling the truth too."

Qin Zhao didn’t speak, just stared at Xiao Yuan for a while.

This woman really seemed fated for disaster, looking like someone who could die on the streets.

"Let’s go, don’t mind her."

Qin Zhao couldn’t be bothered with this doomed ghost and walked away pulling Su Xiaotong along.

Xiao Yuan huffed coldly, her facial expression darkening as she headed in another direction.

Just after turning a corner, a waiter bumped into her, accidentally spilling soup on her dress.

It was a high-end custom dress that had cost her over a million!

She was wearing it today because she was meeting a very important client.

"I’m so sorry."

"Are you trying to kill me? Don’t you have eyes?"

Although the waiter apologized, Xiao Yuan was furious and pushed him away.

All the plates in his hands fell and shattered on the floor.

"Do you know even selling you wouldn’t cover the cost of this dress? Wait for it, I’ll talk to your manager about compensation!"

The waiter, with his head lowered, quietly cleaned up the plates.

It wasn’t until Xiao Yuan walked away that he raised his head to watch.

Seeing the light blue dress on her, a flicker of sinister excitement appeared in his eyes.
