Chapter 74: A Fine Young Man

“A murder case from two years ago disguised as a car accident?” Liu Yin reached out and opened the file in front of him, then lifted his head to look strangely at Zhou Ling.

“At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary homicide where someone was killed because they couldn’t repay a high-interest loan. But the strange thing about this case isn’t that. It’s that the victim’s wife… suddenly got help from a mysterious person two days ago. She received evidence that could prove her husband was murdered two years ago…” Zhou Ling prepared to explain the details to Liu Yin.

Before Zhou Ling could continue, Liu Yin waved his hand to stop her. “You don’t need to tell me all that. I just want to know how this case is connected to the Death Killer.”

“What if I told you that the mysterious person who helped the victim’s wife get the murder evidence is very likely the Death Killer or his accomplice? Do you think… I should explain the case to you in detail now?”

“Oh?” Liu Yin, who had seemed tired and listless, suddenly perked up. His eyes shone as he looked at Zhou Ling.

“His name is Lü Yang…”

“According to the initial information I gathered, he stole the evidence for the car accident murder case from a secret underground room in a government official’s house in Lutou Town. At the same time, he was also suspected of rescuing the hostage in the kidnapping case of the Yida Group chairman’s daughter. Two days ago on the highway, after a car accident, he saved two people and then left without a word. He was the only missing passenger.”

“Wait… are you describing a killer? Or are you describing a heroic young man who does brave deeds?” Liu Yin was confused by what Zhou Ling said.

“Hear me out. Many people have two sides…” Zhou Ling waved her hand at Liu Yin. “Yesterday, with the police’s cooperation, I went to the Liu Family. The rescued Miss Liu confirmed that this Lü Yang was her savior in the kidnapping case. But she forgot some details about how she was rescued…”

“This morning, I visited Yi Qiuhong, a survivor of the Guicang Expressway accident. She claimed that after the accident, she seemed to have forgotten something very important, but she couldn’t remember it no matter how hard she tried…”

“When the police asked Mei Jing, the wife of the victim from the car accident two years ago, how she obtained the evidence, she always said she couldn’t remember, or that she forgot…”

“Director Liu, you should understand what these ‘memory losses’ mean…”

“So this Lü Yang really is that Death Killer!?” Liu Yin punched the table, his expression turning angry.

“I only said it’s very likely him, or it might be related to him. Or perhaps… this Lü Yang possesses the same abilities as the Death Killer… As you just said, this person’s behavior seems more like someone who helps others bravely, not someone who kills for no reason. If he is the Death Killer, we can just send people to follow and track his movements these days. If he isn’t, using his abilities might help us catch the Death Killer.”

“Put him under close surveillance, but don’t alert him for now. I need more evidence.” Liu Yin took a deep breath and told Zhou Ling.

“I’ve already arranged for these things.”

…

Elite Club.

Private Room 2018 on the second floor.

The bottle of red wine on the table was almost empty.

“Min, is Li Guoqing’s problem still not cured?” A woman about the same age as Zhang Min elegantly took a sip of red wine. After putting down her glass, she smiled and asked Zhang Min.

“No.” Zhang Min waved her hand unhappily at the woman.

This woman was Zhang Min’s close friend, named Chu Xuan. Both Zhang Min and Chu Xuan’s parents were university professors. They taught at the same university, and their families had always been neighbors. The relationship between the two families was very good.

They were the same age. They grew up together, received the same intellectual development, went to kindergarten together, primary school together, and middle school together. Both entered their parents’ university as gifted teenagers at the age of thirteen. They both obtained dual doctorates in Law and Economics.

After graduation, they both married into powerful and wealthy families. One became a lawyer, the other worked in the court. They had endless dealings with each other. Their relationship was so close it could be described by eight words Chu Xuan once said: Xuan doesn’t leave Min, Min doesn’t leave Xuan.

Or perhaps, because their IQs were too high, they looked down on other ordinary people. So they only cherished and appreciated each other.

“Ah… Min, we women are like seedlings. We need the rain and dew to nourish us every day… How can we…” Chu Xuan said as she stood up and walked over to sit beside Zhang Min. She reached her hand to Zhang Min’s chest and brought her mouth close to Zhang Min’s ear. She rubbed against her and whispered softly…

“If Li Guoqing is completely useless in that area, and you, Min, don’t want to leave the Li Family, why not do as I suggested before? Find another way to solve this problem…”

“Stop… that’s creepy… I don’t have that kind of interest.” Zhang Min pushed away Chu Xuan’s hand that was fondling her chest. Although their relationship was good, they never had tendencies in this direction before. But just now, Chu Xuan’s rubbing against her ear and fondling her chest did give her some unpleasant feelings. It made her feel a bit panicked inside.

It had to be said, being thirsty for too long almost made her go astray. Even a woman’s touch made her feel something.

“Haha, I was just teasing you.” Chu Xuan didn’t have this kind of interest before either. But she genuinely liked Zhang Min. She liked her to the extent that if Zhang Min were a man, she would definitely marry no one else.

Zhang Min turned to look at Chu Xuan. Seeing Chu Xuan’s flushed cheeks and dazed eyes after drinking red wine, and her half-open red lips, Zhang Min felt even more panicked inside.

“Min, what do you want to do?” Chu Xuan moved closer to Zhang Min, as if deliberately teasing something.

A sudden impulse rose in Zhang Min’s heart. She closed her eyes and suddenly kissed Chu Xuan’s lips. Then she pulled Chu Xuan down onto the sofa with her. She forcefully pulled Chu Xuan’s hand and made it touch her own chest. Her expression became extremely confused and wild…

“Touch me! Touch me!” Zhang Min murmured indistinctly to Chu Xuan.

“Min, are you crazy?” Chu Xuan used a lot of effort to finally break free from Zhang Min. Joking was one thing, and her liking for Zhang Min was real, but it hadn’t reached this point. What Zhang Min just did gave her a big scare.

“You tempted me first.” Zhang Min also came to her senses. She sat up and turned away unhappily.

“Uh…” Chu Xuan came over and hugged Zhang Min from behind. “Min, when I said to find another way earlier, I didn’t mean the two of us… I meant, Min, you could call a few handsome guys to keep you company. This club has them. You can play however you want… Why torture yourself like this?”

“Forget it. These people from the entertainment world have no real feelings. Just thinking about it disgusts me.” Zhang Min shook her head. Li Guoqing’s affair after their marriage made her very angry. Now his inability in that area made her very thirsty. But she wasn’t the kind of person who only cared about physical sensations.

To do that kind of thing, at least both parties should have mutual affection, right?

“If you think these people aren’t clean, Sister Min, you could support a university student. Many male university students nowadays are still virgins. They often shout online asking to be supported. Among them, there are some with good qualities. It’s just solving a physical problem anyway. When you get tired of one, give him some money and send him away, then get another one. About these things, if you think more openly, it’s fine.” Chu Xuan continued to persuade Zhang Min.
