Chapter 136: Chapter 133: Suddenly Died; Chu Yan is Going to Split

After hearing Xiao Yuan’s description, Qin Zhao’s expression grew solemn—it seemed the killer possessed some extraordinary methods.

This case was becoming more and more troublesome.

However, there was one comforting fact; Chu Yan’s speculation might very well be correct.

The Rainy Night Butcher was searching for the mother who had abandoned him and was deeply obsessed with her, so their subsequent plan should be able to lure him out.

If the Rainy Night Butcher truly knew witchcraft, it would be incredibly difficult for the police to find him.

Huo Xun and others had asked the neighbors and then contacted the police in Liancheng to investigate the area, but they still found no useful information.

Qin Zhao relayed everything Xiao Yuan had said to Huo Xun.

"Witchcraft?"

Huo Xun rubbed his temples with a headache, "Could he be someone like you?"

If that was the case, he wouldn’t be easy to catch.

"Possibly, but don’t worry too much. I’ll help you catch him."

Huo Xun nodded, "Xiao Cheng has posted the photo, and a netizen has messaged her multiple times asking for her identity and family details.

He didn’t tell the person everything, just revealed a bit, and we’ll head back to Imperial City first."

"Do you think that person is the Rainy Night Butcher?"

"It’s very likely him. The account we chose purposely posted a Weibo with a location tag. Moreover, we had the Weibo company change the posting time so it wouldn’t raise his suspicions.

If it really is the Rainy Night Butcher, he will definitely take action."

"Alright, let’s hurry back to Imperial City."

Qin Zhao collected Xiao Yuan’s soul and then returned to Imperial City with Huo Xun and the others.

Huo Xun contacted a female officer who posed as the person who posted the Weibo, tricking the Rainy Night Butcher into thinking she was his mother, thus walking into their trap.

Soon enough, there was news. The person surveilling reported that someone was secretly following the officer.

About three days later, it began to rain in Imperial City.

The impersonator wore a light blue long dress and left the house at seven in the evening.

Since it was raining, there were few pedestrians on the streets.

Huo Xun and the others parked not too far away, monitoring with binoculars.

Qin Zhao sat in the back seat, chatting with Chu Yan on WeChat.

She had been busy with this case these past few days, and Chu Yan was quite concerned.

Qin Zhao: We can wrap this up soon.

Dead White Lotus: I just got off work, I’ll come pick you up.

Qin Zhao: Okay.

She sent him a location, and Chu Yan’s hospital was not far from there.

After waiting in the car for a while, Huo Xun finally gave a quiet order.

Police officers rushed out from the car, and not far away, a man wearing a mask was about to abduct the impersonator.

Qin Zhao saw the man being subdued and decided not to get out of the car.

But the next second, her expression tensed instantly.

Because she saw in another direction, a man staring intently in this direction, his expression mocking.

Qin Zhao hurriedly ran down, "It’s not him, you caught the wrong person!"

She shouted to Huo Xun and the others, then ran after the man staring in this direction.

The man didn’t expect Qin Zhao to have spotted him. He hesitated for a moment before turning to run.

"Yes, it’s him! Catch him quickly!"

Xiao Yuan’s soul rushed out, anxiously muttering.

Just as Qin Zhao was about to catch up with the man, Xiao Yuan suddenly froze in place.

Because the man suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at her.

She was certain.

This man could see her!

"Ah!"

Xiao Yuan screamed in horror and ran back to the talisman prepared by Qin Zhao.

The man stood right in the middle of the road.

As Qin Zhao was about to chase after him, someone suddenly pulled her back fiercely into their arms.

"Be careful."

A cold, familiar voice rang in her ear, slightly trembling.

With a loud bang,

A sedan suddenly darted out from the side street and sent the man in the middle of the road flying.

Huo Xun and the others rushed over, stunned for a long time by the scene.

"You need to watch where you’re going when chasing someone, don’t sacrifice yourself doing it."

Qin Zhao looked up and saw Chu Yan’s handsome face, his features more distinct under the running rainwater, his phoenix eyes deep, his aura crisp.

Rainwater slid from his jawline and dripped onto Qin Zhao’s face.

She snapped back to reality and hurried to the accident scene.

Chu Yan also came over and after one look, he knew, "He’s dead."

Qin Zhao stared at the man’s corpse for a long time, deep in thought.

"Was he the Rainy Night Butcher?"

Huo Xun asked in surprise.

Qin Zhao nodded, "He knew you were deliberately luring him out, so he hid in the corner to watch. I happened to see him, and Xiao Yuan’s soul also confirmed it was him."

But Qin Zhao had not expected that he would die just like that, feeling that something was off.

The police began handling the accident scene.

"I really don’t know why I hit him, it was as if I was possessed."

The driver who caused the accident came out of the car, frightened by the numerous police officers.

Chu Yan picked up an umbrella from the ground and held it over Qin Zhao, "Go home and take a hot bath, otherwise, you’ll catch a cold."

He had just arrived and saw Qin Zhao chasing after someone, so he immediately ran over.

Qin Zhao nodded, and the two walked to where Chu Yan had parked.

Chu Yan opened the car door for her, Qin Zhao got in, but he stood outside for a long time.

A strand of red light flew from the distant corpse and burrowed into the center of Chu Yan’s forehead.

His expression paused for a moment, his cool phoenix eyes flashing a hint of crimson, mysteriously dark and chilling.

"I know what’s off now."

Qin Zhao suddenly got out of the car, ran through the rain towards Huo Xun.

"He’s not dead, I didn’t see his soul!"

"What?"

Huo Xun didn’t quite understand.

The man was literally hit to pieces, how could he not be dead?

Qin Zhao didn’t expect him to understand, after all, this Rainy Night Butcher practiced witchcraft.

She touched some of the man’s fresh blood and began to cast a spell.

But, she calculated nothing!

"Zhaozhao, let’s go back."

Chu Yan came to find her, seeing her soaked in the rain, kneeling by the roadside, his expression showing a bit of displeasure.

He then threw away the umbrella and right there in front of everyone, he picked her up horizontally.

"Chu Yan, what are you doing? Put me down!"

His face was expressionless, he suddenly said, "We’re going home."

The fine raindrops fell, Qin Zhao watched his face intently through the rain.

Suddenly, there was a heavy fierceness in his eyes and brows, and his aura was very strange, making her feel fearful.

Qin Zhao felt something was off about Chu Yan.

She stayed quiet for the moment, wanting to see what he would do next.

Chu Yan put Qin Zhao in the car, then drove off.

He drove extremely fast, running several red lights.

Qin Zhao saw his brow furrow tightly; his expression alternating between sullen, cold, and briefly irritable, as if he had a split personality.
