Chapter 56: Even the Bodhisattvas Think It’s Unlucky (Part )
God game?
Everyone was stunned. Lu Shaoyin frowned and said, "What did Su Xiaolangjun mean? In the eyes of the murderer, this is just a game?!"
Su Liuyue's voice was slightly cold. "In my opinion, this is just a ridiculous game, but in the eyes of the murderer, he is probably serious. He thinks he is a god who can save the world and rescue those who are suffering.
His moral values are different from those of ordinary people. This may be related to his childhood experience. When he was a child, he may have killed a person who was suffering. In his opinion, this person deserved to die. As long as he died, he could be free from these painful things. This incident had a great impact on him and directly shaped his own moral values. "
After a pause, facing the shocked expressions of the crowd, Su Liuyue said calmly: "Yes, the murderer sincerely felt that killing these people was not a crime, but a meritorious deed. Even if we finally arrested him, he would most likely think that he was innocent."
This... this is another kind of twisted mentality that they have never heard of. Are there really people in the world with such twisted thoughts?
Lu Shaoyin couldn't help but ask, "How did Young Master Su deduce this?"
It’s not that he didn’t believe Su Xiaolangjun, but he really didn’t dare to be negligent about this case!
Su Liuyue glanced at Lu Shaoyin and said, "Yesterday, I looked at the belongings of the four previous victims. I found a willow branch in the belongings of the first victim, Zhou Hao, and a broken lotus petal in the belongings of the second victim, Wei Yong.
And this morning, I saw a pure white vase with willow branches in it in the room of the third victim, Shi Tai.
And just now... I saw a streak of blood between the eyebrows of today's victim.
Don’t you think these things look very familiar when put together?”
Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but repeat in a low voice what Su Liuyue said.
Suddenly, Lu Shaoyin looked at Su Liuyue in shock and blurted out, "These things seem... to be related to Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Su Liuyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said with satisfaction: "That's right, the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva that people are familiar with is either holding a willow branch or holding a pure white bottle with a willow branch inserted in it. Moreover, Guanyin Bodhisattva often appears sitting on a lotus throne.
The most important thing is that almost all Guanyin Bodhisattvas have a red mole in the center of their forehead!
Those things were left at the murder scene by the murderer on purpose, to tell us that he is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and everything he did was just to save people from suffering!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Isn't this a joke? The murder is actually related to Guanyin Bodhisattva. If the Bodhisattva knew about it, he would say it's bad luck.
Feng Dali thought for a moment and said, "But the murderer didn't seem to leave anything at the place where the fourth victim, Zhong Weilai, was, or did we not find it?"
"left behind."
Sun Zhaoan's face suddenly turned pale and he said, "Have you forgotten? When Zhong Weilai was discovered, he was only wearing a white inner garment, and many portraits of Guanyin Bodhisattva are wearing white robes..."
This also explains why the murderer took off Zhong Weilai's clothes before killing him!
Who would have thought that it was because of such a ridiculous reason!
Seeing that they had followed her thoughts, Su Liuyue smiled faintly and suddenly said, "The murderer should be about the same age as these victims. Judging from his meticulous and calm way of doing things, he is not too young either, probably between 25 and 30 years old.
There were no signs of fighting at the crime scenes of these cases, and there were no suspicious injuries on the bodies of the victims, which means that the victims knew the murderer and the murderer asked them out, or they took the initiative to let the murderer in.
He looks very kind and easily gains the favor and trust of others. Most people who know him would say that he is a good guy. Not only is he willing to help others, but he can also easily empathize with other people's experiences. That's why he can easily gain the trust of these victims.
The murderer took advantage of their trust in him to get close to the victims, drug them, and kill them when they lost consciousness.
Although this is not the first time I have heard Su Xiaolangjun make inferences about the murderer, it still feels incredible every time I hear it.
Even though they haven't even found the murderer yet, they seem to have already pictured such a living person in their minds.
After Su Liuyue finished speaking, she glanced at the people in front of her and smiled faintly, "What we have to do now is to find the connection between the murderer and these victims.
I previously thought that the murderer was most likely among the other soldiers who went to Xinjing with the first four victims, so he specifically targeted the soldiers in the Shenwu Army, but today's case completely changed my thinking.
The first four dead were just coincidentally members of the Shenwu Army. Perhaps the fact that these dead were all soldiers was just a coincidence. The murderer had only one criterion for selecting his targets: people who had suffered great trauma.
It's just that the war has just stopped recently, and a large number of soldiers with huge psychological trauma suddenly emerged in Xinjing. The murderer accidentally came into contact with them, which stimulated him to suddenly start committing crimes."
They had previously narrowed the scope of the murderer to people who had connections with the Shenwu Army, but this was too narrow.
Lu Shaoyin was already fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help asking, "Then how do we find that connection?"
Su Liuyue spread his hands, "There is no shortcut to this. We can only check one by one from the beginning. This time, we must focus on asking these victims who they have contacted outside the Shenwu Army. So, I would like to ask Lu Shaoyin to give me a few more people..." Before Su Liuyue finished speaking, the eyes of the yamen runners who came with Lu Shaoyin lit up, and they rushed to say, "I! I! I can help!"
They finally understood.
If you want to achieve merit, just follow Su Xiaolangjun!
The yamen runners who had followed Su Xiaolangjun and the others to investigate the female serial murder case all received a very considerable reward!
Lu Shaoyin: “…”
He also wanted to stay and follow Su Xiaolangjun to investigate the case...
Well, a beast like him is not worthy!
Finally, Su Liuyue left behind three yamen runners who had previously worked with her on a case, and sent Lu Shaoyin away with a sad face in a funny way.
Then, she assigned tasks to each yamen runner and asked them to do their respective tasks. Just as she was about to return to the Shenwu Army’s base to wait for them to come back, a shocked voice suddenly came from behind her, "Miss Su San?"
Su Liuyue paused in her tracks and twitched her lips secretly.
I can't be that unlucky, right? I can meet someone I know in a place like this?!
Before Su Liuyue could come to her senses, a tall and thin figure in armor suddenly appeared in front of her. His handsome face was full of anger. "What are you doing here? Are you so angry that I want to break off the engagement with you that you deliberately come here to pester me?!"
These accusations made Su Liuyue speechless, even more so than the fact that she met an acquaintance in such a ghost place.
It's probably not appropriate for her to go out today.
Unexpectedly, she ran into her cheap ex-fiancé, Zheng Baizong, the ninth son of the Zheng family!
She only knew that he served as a captain in the army, but she didn't expect that he was also incorporated into the Tiger Wing Army.
She looked at the man in front of her with disdain, took a step back and said, "Zheng Jiulang, you are overthinking, or have you forgotten why we broke off the engagement?"
The original owner looked down on this man, and she looked down on him even more.
This is probably the only similarity between her and the original owner.
Zheng Baizong's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and the humiliating looks and gossips from the past period of time suddenly appeared in his mind again.
——Look, that’s Zheng Jiulang, the one whom even the third daughter of the Su family, who came from a poor family, looked down upon.
——Oh, even if it were me, I would look down on him too. He is just an unpopular bastard with no ability. If it weren’t for the surname before his name, he would be nothing!
——There were also illegitimate sons of other big families who made it big with their own abilities, but this Zheng Jiulang relied on the Zheng family and only managed to become a small captain. It's really hilarious!
These words had long faded from his mind during this period of time, but were brought back to his mind by this hateful woman!
Zheng Baizong was so angry that his face turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you are not here to find me, then why did you come to the Tiger Wing Army?"
"I just happened to pass by. What's the matter? Is Zheng Jiulang so overbearing that he thinks that even the land in front of the Tiger Wing Army is his once he joins the Tiger Wing Army, and no one else can leave?"
Su Liuyue said in a calm voice.
"you!"
Zheng Baizong was so angry that he almost said something he didn't want to, but suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and the anger on his face slowly faded away. He sneered and said, "Rou'er is right, you will never change your character of being arrogant and incompetent. Su Liuyue, where do you get the confidence to think you can get a better man than me?
You can't be so arrogant for a few more days. Rou'er and I have already set the wedding date. In the next few days, your family will definitely arrange your marriage.
By then, even if you regret it and kneel down to beg me, don't even think about me looking back at you!"
Thinking about the marriage her family was going to arrange for her, Zheng Baizong's smile became even more sarcastic.
At the beginning, she was considered marrying above her station by marrying him. If he hadn't thought she was still quite pretty, he would not have agreed.
He couldn't wait to see her face full of devastation after she realized the reality.
