Xue Jingyue always has a special kind of luck. She always encounters bad luck, and she always escapes big troubles with only a little suffering.

She joined the shooting club because she got some omens in life.

Now, she fell down inexplicably. Not to mention Xue Jingyue herself, even those of us outsiders who were not friends with her felt that this was some kind of omen.

Gu Mo always made such a quick decision in this regard. He immediately closed the door and ordered us young people to tie up the man who was knocked unconscious by Guo Yujie.

Gu Mo and I both stared at the man's lower back for a long time, but didn't see anything weird.

Zheng Xinxin had recovered. She took the medicine box in the guest room, bandaged my wound, and looked at Xue Jingyue's ankle.

Xue Jingyue's ankle was swollen to the shape of a steamed bun, which was very exaggerated. It didn't look like it had fallen out on a flat, soft hotel carpet. This is more like an omen.

The piercing alarm bell was still ringing, but we were unmoved at the moment and resolutely refused to step out of the room.

"Xinxin, are you really okay?" Guo Yujie asked Zheng Xinxin with concern.

Zheng Xinxin touched her lower back and shook her head, "I don't feel it at all." She was surprised when she said this. It seems that although she was in pain before, heard us say so many weird things, and followed us to hide in the hotel, she still had some doubts about the supernatural events she encountered. Until now, she had not completely given up her suspicions. .

It is always difficult for people who cannot see ghosts to believe that there are ghosts in this world. Science is the rule, and everything can be explained by science. What we are encountering now can also be said to be that we encountered a perverted murderer, and Zheng Xinxin experienced some kind of hypnosis.

I thought about these things for a while, then my attention turned to the folding knife, and then I looked at the unconscious man.

"What's wrong, Brother Qi? What did you find?" the thin man asked me.

"Zhang Xinrou was stabbed to death by such a knife." I said.

"The folding knife is not a rare item," the thin man said.

"Is this the murderer?" The fat man pointed at the man.

I looked at the man's face and shook my head, "About the same age, but not."

This is not the murderer. Although the murderer was wearing a peaked cap, I saw his appearance when he committed the murder. He looked nothing like this man. It was impossible to say that the two were relatives.

"It's just a coincidence," the thin man said casually.

I looked at Gu Mo.

"Well, for people like us, there are no coincidences." Gu Mo said matter-of-factly.

I don't know if what he said is true or false. This situation can be said to be a coincidence, or it can be suspected that the two things are related.

"The way he came in, and what he said outside the door, he looked like a veteran," the fat man said.

This is how I feel too.

This man is different from the young man who hit us with his car. He was probably a criminal before, so he was able to deceive us in such a methodical manner. After opening the door and seeing that we were obviously on guard, he came in with a burden and was ready to attack us. The person Xiao Tianci found this time was a veteran. The people he looked for the first two times were also different, and they were all highly targeted.

This makes me even more afraid of Xiao Tianci.

The alarm bell finally stopped after ringing for more than ten minutes.

No one knocked on our door anymore.

Because something happened, we called Chen Yihan and reported the situation.

Chen Yihan can be regarded as the only thigh we can hold. While he was asking people to investigate the information, he was also looking for someone to investigate the current situation of the hotel.

"The fire on the fourth floor was arson and has been extinguished. Judging from the time, it was not a single person who committed the crime. The person who set the fire and the one who found you are not the same person."

Chen Yihan was very efficient, and it didn't take long to find out the situation.

This gave us a sigh of relief.

Xue Jingyue's luck is not wrong. If the other party has accomplices, and we go downstairs, in such a chaotic scene, someone might be stabbed.

"In addition, I was also wrong about Zhang Xinrou. The date of Zhang Xinrou's disappearance was the same day a year later. In the bank next to Maochang Building, a sales clerk disappeared. She was also a single woman, living in Dongliang New Village. "

My breath hitched, "This is a serial killer."

"Yes. But no clues can be found. There are not enough police forces in Dongliang, and there are not enough cameras. One more thing, about the smell of disinfectant water in the hospital you mentioned, I need to find someone to investigate the hospital in Dongliang and other places. In the short term, There will be no results within.”

Chen Yihan is the chief of the police station in Minqing City. The public security system is networked across the country, so it is easy to check case files, but Chen Yihan's hands are not that long when it comes to what to investigate. Even if the entire Chen family is mobilized, it is impossible to investigate a case immediately.

"Have you seen the murderer's appearance?" Chen Yihan asked.

"I saw it."

"Then I'll find someone to make a mock portrait of you, and then I'll search for the identity of the murderer."

Yes, there is another way!

"Okay. Sorry, I didn't mention this on the previous phone call." I apologized. This is really a waste of time, otherwise the murderer would be found soon.

"No need to apologize, this matter is not that optimistic. If the photo of the other party's ID card is different from what you see, the simulation portrait and the investigation and surveillance are almost the same, both of which will take a lot of time." Chen Yihan said calmly.

Modern technology makes it easy to compare photos, but modern makeup technology also makes facial recognition difficult.

I sighed, "When are you going to do the mock portrait?"

"We'll do it via video call tomorrow. It's best for you to have less contact with outsiders." Chen Yihan said and hung up the phone.

"How long are we going to hide like this?" The thin man lowered his head.

It's okay to say it's the weekend, just let your family know. On Monday, a working day, can we still hide in the hotel like this? This is not an option either.

Gu Mo snorted, "Who isn't going to bed yet?"

I knew Gu Mo was talking to me, but it hadn't been long since I woke up and I really didn't feel sleepy. Otherwise, I would have taken a nap on the sofa during the vigil. I can't sleep, so I have to hypnotize myself.

Zheng Xinxin was awake now and said to me: "Let me help you relax."

"Don't hypnotize him." Gu Mo reminded.

Zheng Xinxin shrugged, "It's impossible for me to hypnotize him. I don't have the ability to hypnotize him yet."

Zheng Xinxin asked me to lie on the bed. I was a little embarrassed, occupying the place where the two girls slept. But now at this critical moment, I can only stick to me, the only person who has some way to deal with Xiao Tianci.

Zheng Xinxin's voice was soft, but when my head was pressed against the pillow, I couldn't hear what Zheng Xinxin said clearly and fell into a dream.

The first thing I saw was a laptop with a forum page displayed on it, which seemed to be discussing the content of the novel. Because it was all in English, I struggled to read it. I could only reluctantly know that this is a novel fan website called "The Killing Club". This post is discussing many killing methods in that novel, some of which are related to toxins, I don't know the professional words for guns, knives, etc., and I haven't seen the name of this novel. Maybe it's not famous enough, and it hasn't been introduced to the country, and it's not known in the country.

I moved, separated from the ghost following me, and took advantage of the opportunity to see the ghost's appearance clearly.

What surprised me was that this person was not Xiao Tianci or Zhang Xinrou, but the waiter who attacked us!

Good night everyone~
