The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 84 - 81: A Hair-raising Motive

Chapter 84: Chapter 81: A Hair-raising Motive

"Ah!"

Thinking about how she felt at the time, the pregnant woman’s face twisted in agony.

"My child..."

Qin Zhao cast a spell to calm her down slightly and soothed her, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he is punished. Did you follow him afterwards? Do you know where he hid the murder weapon?"

It seemed that the motive for the murder was already known.

Out of the teenager’s perverse desire for knowledge, a pregnant woman was dissected alive.

The pregnant woman tried hard to recall, "He bought a knife that was exactly the same, then claimed it was flawed and returned it to the seller."

No wonder the police couldn’t detect any traces of the victim on this fruit knife.

Fu Wending knew the police would find him, so he bought an identical fruit knife and returned the real murder weapon to the seller - keeping the newly bought one for himself!

The reason he threw the newly bought knife near his home instead of disposing of it was actually quite understandable.

He wanted to play with the police!

To let the police find what appeared to be the murder weapon, but in reality, it wasn’t - so they couldn’t convict him no matter what.

They could only interrogate him in frustration or ultimately have to release him.

When Qin Zhao shared all this with Huo Xun, he suddenly had an epiphany.

Why, at first glance at Fu Wending, there was excitement in the guy’s eyes.

Fu Wending had been waiting for the police to come all along, anticipating their arrival but knowing they couldn’t convict him.

He wanted to outsmart the police like the criminals in the movies, to get a sense of achievement.

"Captain Huo, this is the psychological assessment report for Fu Wending."

An officer brought over a report.

"Typical antisocial personality disorder. I’m afraid his motive for murder can’t be deduced by normal thinking."

Huo Xun rubbed his temple and gave a wry smile, "The cases lately have been too thrilling."

They’re all high-intelligence crimes. The last one, Jing Mingtao, was even a top student from Imperial University.

"My child, help me find my child."

The pregnant woman’s soul implored Qin Zhao.

"Where did he throw the child? We’ll find him and bury you and your child properly. Once that psychopath is brought to justice, you can reincarnate in peace."

The pregnant woman murmured, "Valley, by the stream, there’s a tree hollow. He said the child was so ugly, uglier than the ones drawn in books, so he threw my baby away... wuwuwu..."

Qin Zhao listened, and his expression became complex.

Fu Wending couldn’t even be called a qualified human - he had no empathy or compassion at all. To satisfy his twisted curiosity, he was willing to do anything.

Qin Zhao relayed what the pregnant woman had said to Huo Xun and then asked him to send people to find the excavated fetus.

Huo Xun had his men check Fu Wending’s online shopping records, and indeed, there was evidence that he purchased and returned a fruit knife identical to the one at his home.

In the interrogation room, after hearing Huo Xun’s words, Fu Wending couldn’t help but laugh.

"Officer, I found the fruit knife at home was not good, so I bought another one online, what’s wrong with that? If I had swapped the murder weapon this way, wouldn’t everyone who bought this knife be a suspect?"

Huo Xun observed his demeanor carefully; he didn’t appear nervous at all, rather, he seemed to enjoy the police interrogation.

Knock knock knock, there was a knock at the door.

"Captain Huo, I’ve made contact with the local police where the seller is located. They found the fruit knife in his warehouse and conducted a blood test. The victim’s DNA was detected on the knife – it’s the one Fu Wending returned."

"I understand," Huo Xun replied.

He looked at Fu Wending and slowly began, "The evidence is incontrovertible, and we also know that after you dug out the fetus, you threw it into the hollow of a tree by a stream."

Fu Wending’s face changed color; he hadn’t expected the police to be so capable, to contact a police station in another region so quickly and find the fruit knife.

The hands resting on his knees clenched tightly, his eyes filled with reluctance.

After a long time, he managed to grit out a sentence, "You’re just lucky."

"You admit it? For your own twisted curiosity, you killed a pregnant woman and then dug out her child, throwing it into the wilderness!"

"So what if I do?" Fu Wending displayed no remorse, "I just wanted to see what the child inside her looked like. I’ve never seen it before and was just curious."

Huo Xun looked at him with a complex expression, recalling the career preference form Fu Wending had filled out at school.

He had written down the Medical College.

How could someone with such an antisocial personality disorder, if he went to university to study medicine, be controllable? He would probably do even more horrifying things for the sake of his curiosity.

Huo Xun couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "Actually, if you had disposed of the fruit knife, it would have been even harder for us to find out. You deliberately left traces because you wanted to experience that feeling, didn’t you? The feeling that we know you are the killer, but we can’t catch you."

Fu Wending’s lips twitched, but he said nothing.

He had indeed entertained that thought, which was why he left the pregnant woman’s body there, too.

If he hadn’t wanted to leave any traces, he could have simply thrown the woman’s body into a deeper ravine.

"In fact, we didn’t contact the police station on the seller’s side at all, nor did we find that fruit knife. Maybe the seller has already sent it out, sold it to someone else, which is undoubtedly like finding a needle in the haystack. And the feedback from that police station wouldn’t come so quickly."

Huo Xun looked down on him from above, smiling, "Little brother, I was bluffing you."

"You...!"

Fu Wending suddenly raised his head, his body struggling to get up, but the chains pulled him back.

He realized he had been fooled, and his emotions finally changed. People like him believe they are of high intelligence, able to manipulate others, but they can’t stand being outwitted themselves.

The police found the fetus of the pregnant woman in the valley and after cremation, handed the remains over to her family.

The police station made Fu Wending’s case public, and because of his brutal acts of murder, it immediately caused a sensation online.

[What the hell? I just said he was innocent yesterday, and now this happened?]

[So cruel, to dig out a pregnant woman’s child.]

[I used to watch his videos and thought he was a good kid. I never expected him to be a psychopath!]

[This proves that grades can only filter out academically poor students, not the scum of humanity.]

[I’m truly shocked, and look at his expression when confessing, no remorse at all, it shows he doesn’t realize his errors, and that’s what is most terrifying.]

[Yeah, the reason for the murder itself is bizarre.]

[The police’s psychological assessment says he has an antisocial personality, that’s easy to understand now.]

[That Zhu Yuanrui, remember your bet with Qin Zhao?]

Under the police’s Weibo post about the case, many people started @ing Zhu Yuanrui, who had not replied.

When Zhu Yuanrui saw this message, his face changed colors like a palette, now green, now pale.

He had never imagined that Fu Wending, at such a young age, could be a psychopathic dissection addict!

Forget the college entrance exams or any bright future; this guy is probably going to be sentenced to death!
