The murderer looked at the unconscious Emily in his arms indifferently, without a trace of pity in his eyes, only endless coldness and cruelty. Holding a fire axe, he dragged her into a remote, dark, and rancid alley. Here, he showed his extremely hideous face and chopped at Emily mercilessly. Over and over again, the sound of bones breaking was like thunder in the dead silence of the rainy night, especially clear and piercing. Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the rain on the ground red, forming a shocking blood river that looked like a scene from hell.

In the mansion, Stantelish gently lifted the soft quilt, moving slowly and carefully, put on the comfortable slippers, and his steps were as light as a cat, without making any sound.

The corridor was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Only the weak light of the flashlight in his hand, which seemed to be extinguished at any time, was swaying slightly. With every step he took, the old wooden floor made a slight "creaking" sound, which was particularly harsh in the deadly silent night, as if it was a call from hell. "I must find out the secret of this." He swore secretly in his heart, his eyes firm and resolute.

When he finally approached the door of the servant's room, he stopped and pressed his ear against the door, trying to catch any slight sound in the room. Steady breathing sounded from the room, and everything seemed normal. But Stentlish's sharp and suspicious intuition was screaming wildly, telling him that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

He gently pushed the door open, and the door hinge made a slight "creaking" sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night, as if breaking some kind of taboo. In the room, Xie Xuan'an lay on the bed with his back to the door. The moonlight shone through the gap in the window, sprinkling on his body in patches, outlining a weird picture.

Stentlish saw Xie Xuan'an's body stiffen instantly, as if he was cast under a spell, but he still stubbornly did not turn around. Although he tried to keep his breathing steady, the slight tension still did not escape Stentlish's keen observation like a hawk.

Stentlish said coldly: "Xie Xuan'an, stop pretending, I know you are not asleep."

"I felt something was wrong with you the first time I saw you. What is your purpose?"

Xie Xuanan turned around, his face full of cowardice and flattery, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, I really just want to serve you well and make more money, please don't misunderstand."

On the other side, the murderer completed his crime with a creepy satisfied smile on his face. He was like a cold-blooded machine with extreme calmness and precision, carefully observing the surrounding environment to ensure that there were no obvious clues that might expose his identity. The rain curtain became his natural cover, washing away most of the evidence that might put him in a desperate situation.

Then, he disappeared into the darkness like a ghost, leaving behind only the horrific scene and endless fear, as if he had never appeared and was just a horrible nightmare.

The police rushed to the scene after receiving the report. Faced with such a bloody, cruel and disgusting scene, even the experienced and battle-hardened police officers could not help but gasp. The sheriff in charge of the case frowned, his face looked so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

The police quickly stated that they had assembled a special investigation team to go all out to crack the case, but there were few clues at present, like looking for a needle in a haystack. Experts gathered together to analyze every detail of the case. They all agreed that the murderer was most likely a highly intelligent criminal who was very familiar with the local environment and carefully planned each crime.

The residents of the town, under the shadow of this terror, live in fear every day. There are no more children playing in the streets and alleys, and no more friendly greetings between neighbors. The whole town seems to be cursed and has lost its former vitality. People hope that the police can solve the case as soon as possible, bring the murderer to justice, and restore the tranquility and peace of the town.

Everything is still unknown. Fear and doubt shroud the entire town like an endless nightmare.

Jack and Emily do not know each other.

The murderer always chooses to commit crimes in remote corners where no one is around on rainy nights. He seems to know the terrain of the town very well and carefully selects locations that will not be easily discovered.

Stantelish is used to getting up early to exercise and is very particular about his diet.

Xie Xuan'an is usually very diligent in his work and does things efficiently and effectively.

The murderer was wearing a black raincoat and a hood, so his face could not be seen clearly.

Residents began to suspect and blame each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

When the police arrived at the scene, someone said: "This is too cruel, we must catch the murderer!"

When Stantelish and Xie Xuan'an communicated with each other, Xie Xuan'an always lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into his master's eyes.

The murderer grew up in a violent family, which may have caused his distorted psychology.

The town is located in a valley and has an ancient church as its landmark building.

When facing Stantelish's questioning, Xie Xuan'an unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes with both hands.

The victim's family was heartbroken and cried all day long.

Some people speculated that the murderer committed the crime to take revenge on society.

Stantelish's social circle consists of celebrities from all walks of life, and his friends are either rich or noble.

The police carefully collected evidence at the scene, not missing any details.

There was once a legend about a curse in the town, and bad things would happen every rainy night.

Xie Xuan'an likes reading and often immerses himself in the world of books in his free time.

Before committing the crime, the murderer rehearsed every step in his mind.

People began to worry about the future of the town and discussed whether they should move away.
