Liu Wen was taken aback, and due to her professional instincts, she quickly noticed the issue Su He mentioned and asked in return, "How do you know that the girlfriend of the deceased is the murderer?"
Su He looked up and saw Liu Wen's alert expression, couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't it obvious? He killed his girlfriend, and then, out of guilt, ordered her favorite dish, braised chicken. If she wasn't his girlfriend, she would have been his wife. Why else would he do such a thing?"
Liu Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Su He's analysis was correct; the murderer was indeed the boyfriend of the victim.
"Liu Officer, you haven't answered my question yet," Su He said, having finished his meal. Liu Wen noticed the empty table, with no trace of food left.
"At the moment, the police only know the cause of death of the victim and have identified the suspect. It's true that the victim and the suspect were in a romantic relationship. As for the motive for the murder, it is still uncertain. The police are currently conducting a thorough investigation," Liu Wen replied.
After Liu Wen finished speaking, Su He suddenly remarked, "Then you better hurry. It's possible that the murderer has already committed suicide."
Liu Wen was taken aback, her expression instantly turning serious as she stared at Su He. "Why would you say that? How many more clues haven't you revealed?"
It's worth mentioning that Su He had a criminal record. In the previous case involving the murder of a female anchor, Su He had requested to participate in the investigation and provide clues. Liu Wen didn't expect Su He to pull the same stunt again.
"I've told you everything I know. I haven't left out a single detail. But this is just simple logic. The murderer rewarded me with the last 200 yuan. He definitely doesn't want to live anymore. Besides, murder is a serious crime, a capital offense. He's broke now, so where could he run? Personally, I think he has a strong tendency to commit suicide. You don't know, the way he sounded on the phone was so agitated. The more I think about it, the more something feels off... And think about it, since he voluntarily exposed himself, it supports my point. Of course, there's another possibility: he's extremely arrogant and thinks he can escape the police's pursuit..."
Liu Wen listened in astonishment to Su He's analysis and asked in surprise, "Su He, where did you learn all this?"
"Don't they depict it like this in TV dramas?" Su He confidently retorted.
"Alright, you win," Liu Wen said, taking out her phone to call Wen Jie.
"Wen Team, Su He analyzed that the murderer has a tendency to commit suicide."
"Su He? Alright, understood. We've also reached the same conclusion based on the current evidence available. However, the hiding place of the perpetrator seems extremely concealed, making it very difficult to quickly locate the target. Does Su He have any other leads?" Wen Jie was aware of Su He's criminal record. If he had concealed any important clues again and suddenly emerged to claim credit and rewards, this time, he would truly be charged with intentional withholding of information.
Liu Wen glanced at Su He and replied, "No, he's been cooperative. He shouldn't be playing any clever tricks again."
Su He looked at Liu Wen exposing his secrets in front of him, feeling embarrassed. "The doctor said that a mild concussion can potentially lead to 'retrograde amnesia.' You should trust the doctor's words."
Liu Wen glanced at the time and said, "Alright, if you remember anything, there are police officers outside. You can also call me or the investigative team. The longer the killer stays out there, the more of a threat they pose to the public. Police investigations can't solely rely on speculation and analysis. Suicide is just one possibility; they might also seek revenge on society and continue their killing spree. So, we need to find him as soon as possible!"
"By the way, the police have already issued a wanted notice with a reward. Anyone who provides clues leading to the capture of the suspect or directly captures the suspect will receive a reward of 200,000 yuan." Liu Wen said as she walked towards the door and then left.
"Am I that kind of person?" Su He felt somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Wen's tone. She was calling him a friend just a moment ago, but now she seemed to treat him as if he would provide clues for the 200,000 yuan reward.
Suddenly, three choices appeared before him.
[Option One: Provide clues to assist the police in capturing the suspect. Reward upon completion: 100,000 yuan in cash.]
[Option Two: Capture the suspect directly and hand them over to the police. Reward upon completion: 200,000 yuan in cash.]
[Option Three: Do nothing and take a nap. Reward upon completion: a brand-new pillow.]
The idea of receiving a pillow as a reward for falling asleep was so absurd that Su He suddenly wasn't sleepy anymore. Regardless of whether he chose option one or option two, it wouldn't conflict with the police's reward. If he could obtain 400,000 yuan, plus the 50,000 yuan for being a Good Samaritan, Uncle Shen wouldn't have to sell his house.
Su He carefully thought it over again but couldn't recall any overlooked information that could be related to the killer's whereabouts.
He picked up his phone and first checked the wanted notice issued by the Jinnan Public Security Bureau.
Zhao Xin: Male, 23 years old, a senior at Jinan Foreign Languages Institute. There was a lot more information below, including a photo of him. The guy in the picture appeared cheerful and sunny, making it hard to believe he could be the person who killed his girlfriend.
The information about the female victim wasn't disclosed, but Su He quickly found it on the Jinan Foreign Languages Institute's forum.
Tian Xiaojuan: Female, 23 years old, also a senior at Jinan Foreign Languages Institute.
Someone had posted a photo of Tian Xiaojuan, and Su He was instantly horrified, remembering the scene in the parking lot.
He put his phone down and took a deep breath, taking a while to calm himself. Su He continued browsing the forum.
Zhao Xin was in the Department of Foreign Trade and Japanese, and his family background seemed decent. He had been driving an Audi to school since his junior year. He was an exemplary student at the school, serving as the Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Youth League and an outstanding cadre at the institute.
Tian Xiaojuan, on the other hand, was majoring in English and also came from a good family. She excelled in her studies.
They were a couple that could be described as a perfect match, with him being talented and her being beautiful. However, there were also quite a few negative rumors on the internet. Some said Tian Xiaojuan was extravagant, spending a lot of money on branded clothes and handbags. There were even people claiming that she had an affair, which led to Zhao Xin killing her. Others said that Zhao Xin was a proud man who would rather die than lose face. Despite not having any money, he pretended to be wealthy, accumulating a lot of debt and even mortgaging his car only to lease it back.
After reading for over an hour, Su He's eyes grew weary, and he couldn't determine whether these rumors were true or false. However, one thing he could confirm was that these rumors had nothing to do with Zhao Xin's whereabouts.
Lying in his sickbed and staring at the ceiling, Su He felt discouraged. Even the police hadn't found out where Zhao Xin was hiding. With only bits and pieces of information, he was at a loss on how to proceed.
If only the system could reward him with a criminal suspect tracker, that would be great!
Lost in his thoughts, Su He drifted back to sleep.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
